Chapter 233 Falling into the trap
Bai Ke released his divine sense to investigate and found that three disciples were walking towards him. "They're coming... Well, then, senior brother, you and junior brother can have some fun!" Bai Ke thought to himself.
"Junior Brother Lin Xiu, calm down! I know you've been feeling unwell these past few days and you're not in a good mood either!"
"But don't be impulsive, let's talk this out!" Bai Ke shouted. "Hey! Don't be impulsive!"
Although he was curious as to why Bai Ke had changed his style and said such a nonsensical thing, Lin Xiu, who was burning with anger, did not have time to think it through rationally.
"You hypocrite, stop putting on an act for me! Others might fall for that, but I won't! Prepare to die!" With that, Lin Xiu sent another palm strike towards Bai Ke.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Bai Ke continued to feign concern, saying, "Junior brother, junior brother! Let's talk this out! Senior brother knows he was wrong because he got the position of deacon in the Enforcement Hall during this training."
"I know you're suffering because of how you've become, but I'm your senior brother. I came to visit you out of kindness, how could you treat me like this!"
"Senior brother? Ha! What a senior brother! Well then, my senior brother! Go to hell!" After saying that, he took advantage of the moment when Bai Ke stopped and rushed forward to block Bai Ke's way.
Turning his palm into a claw, he was about to grab Bai Ke's neck! Judging that the two people should be coming in, Bai Ke dodged Lin Xiu's attack.
Bai Ke was standing right at the entrance to the reception room when Lin Xiu attacked him with all his might.
Who knew that the cunning Bai Ke would evade his attack from an incredibly tricky angle.
Suddenly, two people appeared at the doorway, right where Bai Ke had just been standing. When the two entered and saw the scene, which resembled a ruin, they were stunned for a moment.
They had just entered the corridor when they heard the sounds of fighting. As they approached, they heard Bai Ke's words of comfort.
They also knew that Lin Xiu and Bai Ke had always been at odds, and that they must have some kind of conflict now.
Even though I had prepared myself somewhat before coming in, I was still stunned when I saw what was inside.
This... this situation is too tragic! This is a life-or-death feud!
Just as they were stunned by the scene before them, they suddenly felt a gust of wind beside their ears. Turning their heads, they saw Lin Xiuzheng rushing towards them with lightning speed.
Although Lin Xiu's cultivation level has declined, he has still reached the Nascent Soul realm before, and his control over the spiritual power in his body is still much stronger than that of the two who suddenly appeared.
Xing Jian had not comprehended the laws concerning the soul, and he was far from having the effortless mastery of the Void Realm cultivation of Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi.
Enraged, he forcibly used his spiritual power to penetrate deep into Lin Xiu's sea of consciousness and forcibly pull out Li Mu's alien soul.
This is similar to what Bai Ke had heard in his previous life about people in the southern marshes who had leeches burrow into their skin.
Some short-tempered people will grab the leech by its body and pull it out. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this is wrong.
The correct method is to lightly scorch the exposed parts of the leech's body with a flame; this is the best way to solve the leech problem.
Pulling it out directly is like drinking poison to quench thirst; it does nothing to relieve the pain of the leech in your body and may even cause serious inflammation.
Lin Xiu is currently in this state because Xing Jian's actions were too brutal, and he is still unable to use his divine sense.
If he couldn't use his divine sense, then Lin Xiu's swordsmanship, which he relied on for his strength, would be useless, and he would be even less able to resist Bai Ke.
Temper tantrums are a common problem among almost all young people. Cultivators tend to follow their own desires without overstepping the bounds, and Lin Xiu is even less able to control himself.
Anyway, this is my own territory, and it's in the core area directly under the Tian Ce Palace. No matter how arrogant and domineering Bai Ke is, he can't do anything to me in front of everyone.
If that's the case, why should Lin Xiu endure it? He was completely defeated by Bai Ke in this training mission, but that's nothing, he can always come back stronger in the future.
The selection of the Holy Son cannot be finalized based on a single training mission. Moreover, the elder in charge of supervision has been bribed by his own father, and he and Bai Ke will have a competition in the future.
Right now, the worst thing for Lin Xiu is that he can't seem to get his cultivation back up. After taking several pills to stabilize his soul's origin, Lin Xiu's injuries have actually healed quite well.
However, his cultivation level was stuck at the Golden Core stage and he couldn't advance any further. This feeling was exactly the same as when he hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The thought that his breakthrough and fall from his cultivation level were both related to the smiling Bai Ke in front of him filled Lin Xiu with an insatiable rage, as if the flames of his heart were burning the heavens and the earth.
Relying on the fact that Bai Ke wouldn't dare to do anything to him, Lin Xiu directly struck out with his palm, forcefully thrusting his halberd finger towards Bai Ke.
Unexpectedly, two more people emerged from behind the door in the blink of an eye. Lin Xiu, consumed by rage, assumed they were in cahoots with Cai Ke and, without a word, increased his strength.
The two members of the Enforcement Hall who came to investigate after hearing the noise were a little confused for a moment, but their ability to react to the enemy over the years was still very effective.
Although they were still not quite clear about the situation, they still habitually took a defensive stance, with their hands overlapping to form a giant shield that blocked Lin Xiu's attack.
Meanwhile, the other one took advantage of the moment when Lin Xiu was blocked by his companion and rushed forward, appearing directly behind Lin Xiu and knocking him unconscious with a backhand.
Their actions were so natural and fluid, it's hard to imagine how many times they had practiced to achieve such perfect coordination.
Bai Ke stood aside, thinking to himself how brilliant it was. On one hand, the two's teamwork was truly ingenious, and on the other hand, he was pleased with his own strategy.
This whole affair was Bai Ke's scheme from beginning to end. With the opening of the Tianlong Babu mini-world imminent, he didn't want Lin Xiu to interfere again.
So they took advantage of Lin Xiu's "soul in turmoil and his cultivation level declining" to deliberately provoke him and then seize the opportunity to start a conflict.
With Lin Xiu's soul injured, his divine sense would no longer be as responsive as before. What Bai Ke needed to do was to provide some appropriate guidance to this young man.
For example, this time, Bai Ke's powerful divine sense naturally sensed the two people who were about to enter, so he was able to get away in time, but Lin Xiu was different.
This unfortunate kid seems completely unable to use his divine sense, and in his rage he can't think things through. He actually dared to attack the sect's law enforcement disciples directly. If he doesn't die, who will?
