Chapter 152: The Heart of Trade-offs

After a round of extremely fast battles, Qin Lin's pace inevitably fell into chaos.

He had to admit that the more than 20 guards in front of him were not only extremely strong in individual combat, but also cooperated with each other in a surprising tacit understanding.

Qin Lin successively blocked the short blade slash of the two guards, stomped on his feet, and while stepping on the floor tiles, he leaped into the air.

After flipping 360 degrees in the air, he stepped on the towering eaves of the council chamber.

He had to retreat for a while, fighting in a roundabout way.

"What a miscalculation! The combat genes in these guards are simply beyond the scope of human beings!"

Qin Lin looked solemn.

He knew very well that the combat effectiveness of a martial artist came from the four levels of martial arts cultivation, martial arts, weapons, and combat experience.

And among them, martial arts cultivation is only a foundation, it is just a manifestation of strength.

Martial cultivators in ordinary clans, even in the martial arts realm of state-level big clans, were just wastes in Qin Lin's eyes.

Because the battles that clan cultivators can participate in are very limited, especially the more advanced the martial arts cultivators, the more rarely they make a move, and they are only used as a symbol of strength in the clan.

But at this time, the guards who fought against Qin Lin were undoubtedly dead soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people, they were born to fight, and naturally had extremely rich combat experience.

In this way, even if they are also in the martial master realm, their real strength far exceeds the martial artist realm in the clan.

Qin Lin was helpless about his weakness at this time, today's battle in the cave consumed too much of his energy, and now he was already a little unable to withstand the siege of the guards.

"They are so experienced in combat that they can't find a breakthrough point at all. ”

By this time, the guards had rushed to the eaves.

More than twenty people took turns to attack with short blades, bombarding the shroud wrapped around Qin Lin's body, and the collision between the burning Xuan Xuan Sword and the short blade burst out with a powerful martial qi to impact all around.

The eaves trembled.

Pieces of tiles fell from the beams.

Seeing this, Qiao Bai and Qiao Xing did not dare to risk continuing to stay in the council hall.

They didn't want to be hit by the rubble, so they ordered the black-armored guards to escort them away.

As it turned out, they made the right choice.

Almost as soon as the black armor surrounded them and left the council chamber, sword qi surged from the eaves.

The impact of Qin Lin's "One Pulse Sword Technique" shook back the dead soldiers around him, and at the same time, it also caused the eaves to collapse completely, and all the tiles fell downward, smashing the tables and chairs in the conference hall to pieces, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"It's dangerous. ”

Qiao Bai's eyes trembled a little, and he looked back at the collapsed council hall with palpitations.

If he had not been impressed by the current split situation before, he thought that as long as he concentrated his forces, coupled with reinforcements from Plateau Prefecture, he would definitely be able to get rid of Kong Lingyu's strength.

Seeing that the eaves collapsed, Qin Lin on the eaves was full of red light, as if he was burning with flames, and he realized that he had underestimated the enemy.

"Where did Kong Lingyu find such a powerful guy?"

Qiao Bai wondered.

He immediately thought of Yi Qiong and mistook Qin Lin for Yi Qiong.

After all, Yiqiong's strength once made Qiao Bai feel intimidated.

But then he denied himself: "It's impossible, Yiqiong is locked up in the mountain prison, above the prison, the old man has already laid the Ecstasy Lan poison, and it is impossible for Yiqiong to break through the Ecstasy Lan and escape from the prison!"

Qiao Bai thought like this, and his eyes stared at Qin Lin more solemnly.

The night was hazy, the firelight was dazzling, and his old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see Qin Lin's appearance clearly.

And at this moment, in the direction of the back hall behind Qiao Bai, a group of people came in a mighty way.

Qiao Bai heard footsteps and turned his head.

He didn't have to guess much, he naturally knew that this must be Wei Ying.

The loud crackling sound and firelight in the central hall meeting hall can be heard and seen even by people far away from the mountains and forests.

"Sister Wei Ying!"

Qiao Bai bowed his hand to Wei Ying.

I have to be calm enough for the old fox, even if it is the scene of the terrifying battle right now, he still behaves calmly in front of Wei Ying.

"I'm really sorry, Sister Wei Ying, some shameless people sneaked up in the middle of the night to find trouble, and they made you rest. ”

Qiao Bai's is like a victory, just like he can quickly kill the "people" who sneak attack in the middle of the night.

However, Wei Ying didn't pay attention to Qiao Bai at all.

Her footsteps circled Qiao Bai, her eyes fixed on the eaves of the roof with only huge wooden beams.

And the bodyguards beside her also quickly set up a position to protect Wei Ying in it, even Qiao Bai was not allowed to approach, and had to stay a few feet away from Wei Ying.

This made Qiao Bai feel a little humiliated, after all, this is Lishan Mountain, and it is his territory.

Qiao Xing was even more angry.

Just when he was about to scold something at Wei Ying, a roaring explosion sounded in his ears, and Qiao Xing suddenly turned sideways and hid behind the black-armored guard.

Compared with her timidity, Wei Ying seemed calm.

Her gaze was always fixed on the eaves, no matter how loud the crackling sound or how fierce the fire bloomed.

After a while, she asked the bodyguard beside her, "Yang Xiao, are you sure that the person who is fighting with Qiao Bai's dead soldiers now is Qin Gongzi?"

"Yes, the subordinates are sure that when Qin Gongzi was living in the past, his subordinates were responsible for it, and they were a little wary of Qin Gongzi, so their subordinates knew Qin Gongzi's breath. At this time, the breath on the eaves was the breath of Qin Gongzi. ”

A bodyguard named Yang Xiao replied.

Wei Ying's face showed a complicated expression, in fact, she had a strong perception ability, and she also sensed Qin Lin's breath, but it was just ...... She couldn't believe it.

She thought that Qin Lin was dead before, and she once held back the sadness in her heart.

And this sadness is not just about feeling sorry for the loss of a chess piece, but more about ...... She didn't want to accept Qin Lin's death.

But there was no way, after all, the people of Lishan told her that Qin Lin died in the hands of Yi Qiong, and Yi Qiong was one of the few top masters in the entire Western Continent who had the cultivation of the Martial King Realm, so it seemed reasonable for Qin Lin to die in the hands of such a person.

But now, Qin Lin has appeared again!

Wei Ying's heart is joyful, but she is used to hiding all emotions, whether sad or joyful.

At the same time, she was also puzzled in her heart, she was wondering, whether it was Qin Lin who defeated Yi Qiong in the Martial King Realm and escaped death, or Qin Lin didn't fight Yi Qiong at all, and everything was a lie made up by the people of Lishan?

Of the two conjectures, she prefers the former.

"Qin Lin, is it really you? really you, what kind of terrifying strength do you have, and you can actually survive in the hands of the Martial King Realm?"

Wei Ying said to herself.

At this time, Yang Xiao, who was beside her, asked, "Sister, do we need to intervene?"

Yang Xiao is the backbone of Wei Ying's bodyguard group, and he is Wei Ying's most personal bodyguard from the beginning, so he can have some insight into Wei Ying's thoughts.

At least he thought that Wei Ying cherished Qin Lin, and at this time, Qin Lin was surrounded and attacked by more than twenty guards, and Wei Ying should have helped.

However, he was wrong.

Wei Ying let out a deep breath and shook her head.

Succinctly: "We don't have to intervene. ”

The complicated expression on Wei Ying's face had gradually disappeared, and what was finally left was the face of an onlooker.

Yang Xiao was stunned.

Then he arched his hand and nodded: "Yes, my sister's life." ”

He couldn't imagine how Wei Ying was thinking about it

Wei Ying: This is to make the right choice between Qin Lin and Lishan.

She longed for Qin Lin's strength, but she also longed for the support of Lishan's forces to establish a solid alliance with Lishan.

She has also analyzed the current situation in Lishan.

Compared with Qiao Bai and Kong Lingyu, she believes that Qiao Bai has more chances to win, and the person who finally controls the power of Lishan must be Qiao Bai.

"If Qin Lin's strength can defeat Qiao Bai, then choosing to help Qin Lin is definitely a good move, but if Qin Lin is defeated, then it would be extremely stupid to help him now. ”

Wei Ying settled her thoughts, turned around slowly, no longer watched the battle, and chose to go back to her back hall to rest.

However, before she had taken a few steps, she stopped again.

There was also a force in her emotions that drove her thoughts...... That is, she was reluctant to let Qin Lin die.

"Do you really care about him?"

Wei Ying was puzzled.

All along, she has warned herself that everything in the world is just a show.

She also warned herself that any emotion would make her weak.

But now, both of these warnings seem to be meaningless.

In the end, she is only a teenage girl.

"Or ...... Bet again. ”

Wei Ying thought like this and turned around.

The battle on the eaves continued, and she could faintly see purple flames burning on the long sword dancing in Qin Lin's hand.

"If he can defeat Qiao Bai's guards, then his strength may really have a chance to help Kong Lingyu kill Qiao Bai, when the time comes, who is the Lord of Lishan?"

Wei Ying pondered.

She bet twice before that Qin Lin could create a miracle, and this time, she also decided to bet again, betting on Qin Lin to create another miracle.

"Yang Xiao!"

Wei Ying spoke to Yang Xiao, who was wearing a cloth.

Yang Xiao arched his hand: "The subordinates are here." ”

"You keep a close eye on Sister Ben, once Qin Lin occupies the upper peak, you will help Qin Lin, otherwise, you don't care about anything. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

Yang Xiao responded.

Then he asked, "Is it to help Qin Lin kill those dead soldiers, or to take Qiao Bai directly?"

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Yang Xiao's eyes have already stared at Qiao Bai.

But Wei Ying said: "Don't hurt Qiao Bai, there is an invisible force behind him, I'm afraid he is just a chess piece, not only is it meaningless to take him down, but it is more likely to lead to fire." ”

Wei Ying said clearly.

The eaves of the central hall have been destroyed, and all that remains are the wide and sturdy beams and wooden pillars.

Qin Lin stood on top of the wooden pillar and swallowed his breath rapidly.

"No, the energy consumption is too great, they continue to fight like this, and I don't have to wait for their short blade to cut my throat, and I myself will run out of energy and die first. ”

Qin Lin had to think about how to deal with it.

At this time, the guards who were also distributed on the beams and wooden pillars of the house were also thinking about strategies to deal with Qin Lin.

After several rounds of fierce confrontations, the guards realized the power of Qin Lin's cover.

The defensive strength of the shield can effectively resist every short-bladed attack of the guards, that is, the guards have worked so hard to break through the defensive line laid by Qin Lin with sword qi and flames, but it still can't hurt Qin Lin in the slightest.

Repeated attacks were frustrated, frustrating the guards who had a more murderous aura than the Shadow Slayer.

In addition, the absorption of martial qi by the qi filling technique is also madly affecting the rushing power of the guards.

Every time the short blade collided with the Shadow Sword, the guards would feel the illusion of being devoured, which made them powerless, and their combat effectiveness was greatly weakened.

In this way, even if they had the advantage in numbers, they could only maintain a terrifying confrontation balance with Qin Lin, and no one dared to relax.

"I'm really curious, who the hell are you?"

Qin Lin was wary of the guards who were besieging him on all sides.

The guards wore ghost masks on their faces, as if they were a curse on their mouths, and they didn't give any response at all.

Their short blades glowed in the moonlight.

The momentum that is ready to go is so that the martial energy is always permeated on the eaves.

"It seems that you can't speak, so forget it, go on!"

Qin Lin's voice fell.

The feet standing on the wooden pillar slammed into a bow, and then, with a "boom", the whole body was like a sharp arrow flying shuttle, shaking the surrounding air current.

There are more than 20 guards, and the tacit cooperation of strength is like a solid stone that is difficult to break.

Qin Lin had no other choice but to use the most stupid and helpless method to break them one by one.

But the guards' rich combat experience obviously wouldn't make Qin Lin too smooth.

As Qin Lin took the initiative to attack one of the guards, the rest of the guards also reacted quickly and rushed towards Qin Lin's back.

"Now it's up to you to see if you're fast, or mine!"

Qin Lin gritted his teeth.

At the same time as the fencing in his hand, "Phantom Step" was already cast, and a string of phantoms was like a human wall, confusing the guards behind him.

Boom -

The positive hit collided, and the martial energy rubbed out a spark.

Under the moonlight and shadow, a cold light drew an arc.

Qin Lin was considered to have had enough strength, and under this blow, the Xuan Yu Sword shattered the short blade in the guard's hand, and the blade reached the guard's throat.

Snort-

Bright red blood splattered.

Qin Lin faintly raised the corners of his mouth, and the first blows that he broke one by one were considered successful.

He attacked very quickly, and beyond the expectations of the guards, he completed a beautiful surprise attack.

This made Qiao Bai and Qiao Xing, who were standing on the flat ground not far away, frown.

"Actually...... This guy can actually kill the dead soldiers of my plateau state under such a siege!"

Qiao Xing was secretly frightened in his heart.

Compared to Qin Lin's ignorance of the identity of the guards, Qiao Xing knew very well how this group of guards were selected and how they were subjected to brutal training.

They are among the poorest people born in the snowy region of the Plateau State.

Almost all of them were abandoned by their biological parents on the snowy fields when they were not yet three years old, and they were tested by hunger and cold, and managed to survive for three or three nights.

They are also the battle dead soldiers who filled the dantian and meridians with countless expensive medicinal materials in the Plateau State.

It is no exaggeration to say that the individual combat ability of this group of dead soldiers can easily slaughter the entire clan members of an ordinary martial arts clan.

And ten dead soldiers can fight against the power of a big clan at the state capital level.
