Chapter 288: A duel of life and death
"If the user can control more than two thousand flame blades at the same time, then the first layer of the flame blade has reached perfection!"
Lin Ye closed his eyes tightly, and devoted all his attention to the differentiation of the flame blade.
His spirit was unprecedentedly clear, and every blade was extremely clear under Lin Ye's perception.
Starting from the 1,500th blade, each new blade added is a breakthrough in the control of flames.
10 ......
100 ......
At first, Lin Ye could quickly divide into hundreds of flame blades, but as the number of flame blades made increased, Lin Ye began to feel a little struggling. The speed at which he could create flame blades also quickly slowed from a hundred to just ten per second, and then to single digits.
Starting from the back of Lin Ye's hand, the density of the flame blade had suddenly decreased a lot.
By the time Lin Ye could no longer divide even one flame blade, the number of flame blades he had made had reached three thousand three hundred.
The number of flame blades controlled by Lin Ye had far exceeded two thousand, and in the cultivation of flame knives, they had far reached the first level of consummation!
The effects of the Fire Spirit Fruit began to fade. The freshness in Lin Ye's mind began to fade rapidly.
Lin Ye frowned, and he felt the flame blade on his arm begin to become restless. His grip on the Flame Blade began to wane rapidly.
If he failed to stay awake and do his best to keep the Flame Blade from spreading, the Flame Blade he had painstakingly made would quickly come to naught, and Lin Ye would return to a state where he could only make fifteen hundred Flame Blades.
Lin Ye let out a low roar, he put his left hand on his right hand, and made a starting pose using the flame knife. Lin Ye's left hand came from a faint spiritual power, this spiritual power was the last trace of spiritual power that Lin Ye was still able to squeeze out of the sea of knowledge, it brushed the flame blade on his arm under Lin Ye's control, calming down the restless blade.
If you want to get the most out of the Fire Spirit Fruit, you must stimulate your own spiritual power limit. Let the sea of consciousness that accommodates spiritual power quickly adapt and grow to the size it should be.
Lin Ye felt as if a string had suddenly collapsed in his mind, and there was a pain in his head, and the control in his hand was weakened by half a point. Fifty blades instantly scattered into sparks and flew into the air. By the time Lin Ye controlled the flame blades on his arm again, the flame blades he could control had become three thousand two hundred and fifty.
The reduction in quantity was still within Lin Ye's expectations, Lin Ye frowned, and he stretched out his hand to take out the natural stone of the storage space.
A total of twenty natural stones were arranged around Lin Ye. The natural breath in the natural stone was guided by Lin Ye and spontaneously poured into Lin Ye's body.
With the assistance of the natural stone, Lin Ye once again placed his left hand on his right hand and began to guide the flame blades on his arm to line up.
In the process of arrangement, Lin Ye did not make another mistake. He carefully guided the flame blades to form a triangle shape, and in just ten minutes, Lin Ye had completed the arrangement of nine tenths of the flame blades.
Just as Lin Ye was about to finish the Flame Knife, a popping sound suddenly came from the window of the room. A solid steel ball broke through the window and shot into the room. After the steel ball was embedded in the wall, it immediately glowed and exploded in the next second.
Bang!
The whole Mushroom House trembled, and the room where Lin Ye was was was half blown up.
Lin Ye's face was cold, and the flame blade in his hand had turned into a spark at this moment, fluttering out from the gap in the roof.
Fortunately, the explosion did not hurt Lin Ye. However, Lin Ye still shifted his mind because of this, and at the last moment of constructing the Flame Knife, he lost control of the fifty Flame Blades, which finally caused him to not fully absorb the medicinal effects of the Fire Spirit Fruit, and he was one step away from complete success.
The medicinal effect of the Fire Spirit Fruit had completely faded, and Lin Ye was already able to control three thousand two hundred flame blades at the same time. His control over the flames is no longer diminished.
"Who is it?" Lin Ye said to himself through gritted teeth. If it weren't for this explosion, his mental power could have gotten stronger.
The steel ball was thrown in the backyard by someone, and the person who threw the ball must have been premeditated.
He walked to the window.
The backyard was empty, with pale green fluorescent mushrooms growing on the rock walls. There were footprints left by someone on the slightly damp ground, but the footprints were not followed. It's as if someone flew here and landed on the ground.
"Master!" came the panicked voice of the crescent moon from outside the door. He pushed them away, and when he saw that Lin Ye was safe and sound, his anxious face relaxed.
"Did you see any suspicious people passing through here?" Lin Ye asked.
He removes the remains of the steel ball embedded in the wall. It was a solid shard of steel with a smell of gunpowder in it.
As Lin Ye expected, the crescent moon did not notice any suspicious people passing here.
How can someone who can do such a thing reveal clues and be discovered?
"The master can't have offended anyone...... crescent said, a little nervously.
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and didn't speak. He jumped out of the room and landed in the backyard.
From these footprints to a radius of three hundred meters, there were no other footprints. This shows that the strength of the person who threw the steel ball is not weak, and he definitely has the strength beyond the crescent moon.
The explosive power of the steel ball was even more amazing, if it weren't for Lin Ye's timely dispersion of the flame knife and turning it into a fire shield, the explosion fragments of the steel ball would have pierced Lin Ye to a thousand holes.
Lin Ye put away the steel ball fragments and put them in his pocket.
"The person who can do such a thing must be related to two people, one is a wolf and the other is Chloe. Lin Ye sneered.
To test this idea, he had to go to the trading market.
In the trading market, there is a lot of noise. The bustling crowd blocked the entire street, and Lin Ye found a store specializing in explosives and walked in.
"This warrior, do you want to buy some explosive balls? These explosive balls can be bought with just one natural stone! It's definitely a killer, no, no, no, it's definitely an excellent tool for hunting strange beasts!" a squinting businessman who looked very greedy rubbed his hands and said to Lin Ye.
"Do you know this thing?" Lin Ye said to the merchant as he took out the steel ball fragment from his pocket.
"Why do you ask this?" said the merchant's smiling face, which suddenly changed color, and he lowered his hands and said vigilantly.
Lin Ye smiled: "I got this explosive ball from a teammate, I feel like it's very useful, so I came here to ask, if you sell it, maybe I'll buy a dozen." Since you don't say it, forget it. ”
As soon as the merchant heard Lin Ye's words, his eyes immediately lit up. He reverted to a sneering face and said to Lin Ye, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right! The explosive balls with this material are only sold by us!"
Hearing the merchant's admission, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth curved slightly.
"I don't believe it, unless you show me who bought these explosive balls, unless you can prove that my teammates ever bought it. Lin Ye shook his head and said.
In the marketplace inside the temple, every transaction is verified by the temple, so each transaction is written with the name of the trader.
The merchant hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that I can't prove it, but we have to keep it secret here, and we can't divulge the information of past traders." ”
"Really, since you don't show me!, forget it......" Lin Ye smiled and turned his head to leave. The merchant immediately hugged his thigh.
"Wait! I'll show you!"
——————————
On the exploding ball transaction ledger provided by the merchant, Lin Ye flipped through the information of the recent buyer, and sure enough, he found a familiar and unfamiliar name on it.
Sure enough, it was him......
Lin Ye muttered to himself in his heart.
Lin Ye closed the ledger and said, "Your ledger doesn't have my teammate's name on it at all!"
"Wait, boss, don't go!What's the name of your teammate?, it can't be without!" the merchant shouted, but Lin Ye was already walking farther and farther.
The merchant touched his head, crying and mourning. He looked at the steel ball fragments left by Lin Ye and said to himself, "No, this is the explosive ball in our store, how can he say that it is not?"
It has been less than a day since Huang Gao led Lin Ye and his party to perform C-level tasks.
If this matter can't be resolved as soon as possible, Lin Ye will always have a mustard in his heart that is difficult to put down.
The giant axe Chloe has similar strength to Huang Gao. I don't know where he found out Lin Ye's identity. He threw an explosive ball into Lin Ye's room, interrupting Lin Ye's cultivation of the Flame Knife. This hatred, Lin Ye will always remember.
Lin Ye frowned, and he went straight to the door of Chloe's residence.
Chloe lives in the southeast corner of the settlement, where the scattered warriors live. Crowe occupies one of the best plots in the concentrated residential area. Some of the temple dependents saw Lin Ye, and they stretched out their fingers and pointed at Lin Ye, as if discussing Lin Ye's origin.
The door of the house was closed, and there seemed to be no one inside, but Lin Ye knew that Chloe was in it.
Now that the other party has come to the door, how can Lin Ye back down!
Lin Ye stretched out his foot and kicked open the door of the mansion with one kick.
The three temple dependents behind the door were knocked to the ground by the sudden kicking of the open door. They broke several ribs and fell to the ground in pain, rolling and screaming. The temple dependents and servants in the street shouted and hid in their masters' mansions.
"Chloe, get out of here!" Lin Ye shouted.
Immediately, from the inner door, Chloe's voice came out.
"Who dares to be so arrogant!"
He pushed open the inner door and saw Lin Ye at a glance. At the same time as seeing Lin Ye, Chloe's face was startled at first, and then pretended that nothing had happened, and said, "Isn't this the kid I met in the mission hall that day?
Lin Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "What happened in three hours, you forgot it so quickly?"
Deliberately murdering a temple warrior of the same rank in the temple is a capital offense! No matter how mad Chloe is, he will not admit that he is the murderer of Chloe.
The corners of Chloe's mouth twitched, but she quickly said, "How do I know what you've been doing for three hours?"
"I went to the trading market before I came looking for you. ”
"What?" Chloe heard Lin Ye's words, and he immediately understood why Lin Ye was so sure of him.
"Even if you know I did it, so what?" Chloe's surprised expression didn't last three seconds before she burst out laughing. There was a deep malice in his words. "As long as I don't kill you, the temple will turn a blind eye to this, and you'll never try to catch me. ”
As long as there are no bad clashes between the Temple warriors, the temple has a largely laissez-faire attitude towards the Temple warriors.
Chloe understood that Lin Ye was just a new temple warrior, and Lin Ye had no capital to fight him. Ordinary temple warriors would immediately be frightened into submission as long as they heard his intimidation, but Lin Ye's reaction surprised Chloe.
"Really?" Lin Ye said coldly, "Before you think about me, you should probably think more about your dependents. As far as I know, the temple pays less attention to the life or death of the temple's dependents. ”
What Lin Ye meant was that he would secretly get rid of all of Chloe's dependents, and Chloe would have nothing to do with him.
Chloe's eyes widened, "How dare you threaten me! I swear, as long as you do such a thing, you won't want to come back alive after you leave the temple!"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact......," Lin Ye said lightly. "As for what will happen to me in the future, you don't need to care. ”
This guy is dying!
Chloe took a deep breath, he wouldn't let his ten dependents be eliminated by Lin Ye one by one.
"Do you dare to take on a life-and-death fight with me!" Chloe roared.
A life-and-death contest between two temple warriors in order to resolve irreconcilable contradictions between them. It will be recognized by the temple, and there will always be only one winner in the battle of life and death, and the one who is alive will be the victor, and the one who will die will be the loser. The victorious warrior inherits the rank and benefits of the loser.
Hearing Chloe's roar, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth smiled slightly.
"That's exactly what it means!"
When Chloe heard Lin Ye agree, she laughed wildly in her heart. This fool obviously doesn't know the meaning of the life-and-death fight! Next, he will die for his innocence!
Chloe's family quickly summoned a black-robed man and begged him to be a notary.
"I, Chloe, and Lin Ye agreed today that the two will apply for a life-and-death duel! It will start in ten days!" Chloe shouted loudly. "During this time, neither side shall interfere with each other!"
The black-robed man glanced at Lin Ye, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was the black-robed man in the mission hall that day.
Lin Ye didn't notice him, he had already accomplished the purpose of his coming at this moment.
Chloe didn't know that Lin Ye's strength had doubled compared to him a few days ago.
Lin Ye's control over the flames had reached three thousand two hundred flame blades, which was already more than double the previous one. Compared to the soul power possessed by Chloe, Lin Ye's spiritual power was not far behind.
