Lin Qing stroked his chin and said, "Oh? There are also hundreds of Sword Sect disciples. The Red Boar was slaughtered. It seems that the Sword Sect is plotting something."
However, Lin Qing didn't ask the two of them. After all, no matter what kind of conspiracy they were plotting, it had nothing to do with Lin Qing. His main concern right now was to eat breakfast; he was starving.
The two horses pulled the chariot at a fairly fast speed, although a bit slower than Black Tiger. After more than ten minutes, they arrived above the valley.
Lin Qing glanced around, taking in everything in the entire valley.
The original hundreds of thousands of red boars had dwindled to just a few thousand, which were now surrounded by hundreds of disciples and were slowly closing in, preparing to wipe them all out.
There were also dozens of disciples collecting the corpses of the dead red boars in the valley with storage bags.
However, there was one person who didn't fit in with them. This person was none other than Qingshui, the senior brother of Qingnan and Qinghe. He was now directing the disciples to tighten the encirclement.
He doesn't personally take action, which is a good opportunity to train his disciples and save some energy. Isn't that wonderful?
"Senior brother, save me! Senior brother, save me!"
"Senior brother, my junior brother Qingnan and I were captured by the Black Tiger's master while chasing it, and now we've been turned into two horses pulling a cart."
"Yes, senior brother, save us! Capture them alive! I'll make them wish they were dead!"
"Also, don't reveal our identities, otherwise we'll lose face if our disciples see us."
As Shimizu was giving instructions, the voices of Qinghe and Qingnan suddenly appeared in his mind, and his expression changed drastically. He then looked at the horses pulling the chariot in the distance.
She averted her gaze and glared fiercely at Lin Qing, who was sitting inside, and Black Tiger, who was lying at Lin Qing's feet.
Shimizu waved his hand and said, "Abandon the encirclement! All disciples, assemble! There are enemies."
As expected, they were disciples of the Sword Sect. Qing Shui looked at these disciples with great satisfaction. Within fifteen seconds of him giving the order, all the disciples had assembled.
Then, Qingshui led his disciples to the front of the chariot and roared, "Insolence! How dare you enter the territory of my Sword Sect! Surrender obediently, or else..."
"Surrender! Surrender!" the disciples roared from behind.
Shimizu didn't want their identities to be exposed in front of all the disciples, so he could only come up with a lame excuse.
"Haha, as expected of senior brother, those two are doomed now."
"Yes. We must make them wish they were dead."
"Yes, you should know that Third Senior Brother is a powerhouse ranked 30th on the Sword Ranking."
The two horses were communicating telepathically, and they had great faith in their third senior brother, Qing Shui's, strength. After all, their third senior brother was a top swordsman in their Sword Sect, ranked thirtieth.
The Sword Sect has hundreds of thousands of disciples. Being listed on the Sword Ranking is a recognition of one's strength and combat power. There are only one hundred people on the Sword Ranking, and one can rank thirtieth among tens of thousands of core disciples.
It's easy to imagine how powerful the third senior brother is. Compared to the other two, Qinghe is ranked exactly one thousandth, while Qingnan is much worse, ranking more than five thousandth.
All three were disciples of the Tenth Elder of the Sword Sect, and they had come to hunt down the Red Boar Demon on their master's orders.
The two were engrossed in their telepathic conversation, completely unaware that Lin Qing was fully aware of their entire exchange.
It's like someone is next to him with speakerphone at maximum volume; even if he doesn't want to hear it, it automatically enters his ears.
"The Sword Ranking, how interesting!"
Lin Qing leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his hand, and said, "So what if I invaded your territory?"
"Uh." Shimizu was a little confused. Shouldn't they have said a few harsh words and then started fighting?
"Hmph, invading my Sword Sect's territory and still so arrogant, you're just asking for death."
"Three Thousand Shadows!" Qing Shui made a hand seal, and the flying sword beneath her feet immediately flew towards Lin Qing.

Wherever the flying sword passed, it created a series of afterimages, which rapidly approached Lin Qing.
This time, it was indeed three thousand illusions; it was impossible to tell which sword was real.
"Wow, it's Senior Brother Qingshui's Three Thousand Shadows - like a dream, like an illusion, the shadow moves with the heart, and all laws remain unchanged within it. The opponent definitely can't dodge this attack."
"Wow, that's amazing! Senior Brother Shimizu is so strong!"
Qingshui listened to the praise from his disciples with smug satisfaction. He activated his spiritual power, increasing the speed of his flying sword and making his attacks stronger. He wanted to kill him with one blow.
Lin Qing: "Three Thousand Fleeting Shadows - Like a Dream, Like an Illusion is good, the name of the move is quite nice."
After offering a compliment, Lin Qing quickly waved his hand away from the incoming attack, as if shooing away flies at a pork stall.
In this way, the three thousand fleeting shadows vanished without a trace, along with the flying sword.
At the same time, Lin Qing's voice rang out: "However, it's not good enough for attacking; it's more like swatting flies."
Shimizu was utterly incredulous when he saw that his attack had vanished. The disciples present were also dumbfounded, and the two horses stared wide-eyed.
Shimizu: "So strong, you really have some skill. But this Three Thousand Shadows is just a level three sword technique that I learned when I first became a core disciple."
The sword techniques of the Sword Sect are divided into five levels, with the lowest being level five and the highest being level one.
Level 5 sword techniques can only be practiced by outer disciples, Level 4 by inner disciples, and Level 3 by core disciples.
The second level requires core disciples to exchange points, and the origin of these points will not be discussed in detail here.
"Let me show you the level two sword technique that I redeemed with points I earned over ten years."
With a loud shout, a dazzling sword light emerged from Qingshui's body, and a flying sword flew out from within him.
"It has appeared. That is Senior Brother Qingshui's natal flying sword, the Burning Heaven Sword."
"I've heard that the Burning Heaven Sword was forged from the essence of crimson flames from a ten-thousand-year-old volcano at the bottom of the sea. It's incredibly hard, and its attacks are imbued with the power of crimson flames, making it extremely violent."
The two horses were overjoyed: "We've got it! We've got it! This wave will definitely wipe them out!"
It's worth noting that it was this Burning Heaven Sword that propelled Qing Shui from 100th to 30th on the Sword Ranking.
Crimson Flame is no ordinary flame; it can even incinerate magical treasures and is more powerful than the Earth Core Flame, ranking thirteenth on the list of strange flames.
A powerful aura erupted from Qing Shui, who urged the Burning Heaven Sword to roar, "Burning Heaven - Sword Domain!"
Then the Burning Heaven Sword transformed into eight swords, facing each other in the east, west, south, north, and up, encircling Lin Qing, his chariot, and his two horses.
After the eight Heaven-Burning Swords were in place, flames began to erupt from the swords. The flames from four of the swords linked together, forming a square inferno.
At the same time, he also transmitted his voice to the two horses: "Junior brothers, you can stay where you are. Chi Yan will not harm you. I will kill them and then rescue you."
Wow, it's actually a level two sword technique, the Heaven-Burning Sword Domain!
[This Heaven-Burning Sword Domain is a perfect match for my third senior brother.]
Yes, the Heaven-Burning Sword can double the power of this sword technique, making it incredibly powerful.
Shimizu: "Haha, in my sword domain, you will all die without a chance of survival. It would be an honor for you to die inside."
Lin Qing scoffed: "This thing calls itself a Sword Domain? And a Ranking of Strange Flames? Do you think this is Battle Through the Heavens? You even have a Flame Ranking?"
"Fine, let me show you my little flame."
This time, Lin Qing didn't speak either. He simply raised his palm, and with a thought, a small flame appeared.
He then flicked his finger, and the flames quickly entered the sea of fire.
"I quite like this chariot, but it's too fragile. It can barely withstand even such a small flame." Lin Qing looked at the chariot he sat down in with some disappointment.
Xiao Hei: "Um, Master, it's all my fault. I didn't have a better chariot."
Lin Qing waved his hand, then released his spiritual power to protect the chariot and resist the invasion of the crimson flames.
Shimizu: "Haha, this little flame? That's hilarious, haha."
He then made a hand seal: "Sword energy, annihilate!"
With Qing Shui's control, the endless flames within the sword domain began to evolve into countless small crimson flame swords.
Just as the Crimson Flame Sword was about to attack Lin Qing, the small flame began to show a ferocious face.
A small crimson sword was suddenly touched by a small flame, and then instantly enveloped in golden flames, before touching other small swords.
Just like that, like a virus invading, in just over ten seconds, most of the entire Sword Domain was turned into a golden sea of fire.
Shimizu sensed the unusual movement in the sword domain and thought to himself, "What's going on? Why isn't the sword domain attacking? Ah, how is this possible? My sword domain has been taken over by his little flame?"
Shimizu's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat. He knew that the person opposite him was definitely a tough opponent. Shimizu knew how powerful Lin Qing was, but the other disciples did not.
"Look, that golden flame! It's so powerful!"
[Yes, yes, but shouldn't the crimson flames within the Burning Heaven Sword Domain be red? How did they turn golden?]
[Didn't the one wearing the mask earlier throw out a golden flame? Could it be...?]
[What are you thinking? That tiny flame can't possibly have that much power. Don't be ridiculous!]
[Yes, yes, it was definitely Senior Brother Qingshui who made Crimson Flame advance and become an even more powerful flame. It seems that its ranking on the Sword Ranking will definitely be in the top twenty.]
Shimizu was speechless as he listened to his brothers' flattery: "If this flame were mine, I'd make it into the top ten, let alone the top twenty."
Shimizu watched as the crimson flames within the sword domain were completely devoured and assimilated, turning into golden flames.
Only the area within one meter of the eight Burning Heaven Swords remained unswallowed, where the crimson flames were still struggling to hold on.
Shimizu, disregarding all pride, shouted, "Not bad, your flames are indeed powerful, but unfortunately, this is within my sword domain."
Shimizu stretched out her hand and slapped herself hard on the chest. "Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, along with several drops of blood radiating a red glow. In a short while, the blood entered the Crimson Flame Sword.
Ignoring the blood at the corner of her mouth, Qingshui cut her lips with two fingers, then touched them to her brow. With a flick of her finger, she unleashed a torrent of spiritual energy into the Crimson Flame Sword.
The Burning Heaven Sword vibrated with great intelligence, emitting a buzzing sound and radiating a dazzling red light.
The next moment, an immense amount of spiritual power erupted from the Crimson Flame Sword, and then the crimson flames began to surge forth once more, this time several times stronger.
This time, it was no longer the golden flames devouring the crimson flames, but rather the crimson flames devouring the golden flames.
Chapter 254 A Powerful Blow (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
Every time the golden flames devoured the crimson flames, a spiritual force would block them, and in just half a minute, the Burning Heaven Sword Domain was transformed into a sea of crimson fire once again.
Although Lin Qing's Samadhi True Fire was incredibly powerful, the Crimson Flame was controlled by someone and was inexhaustible, while the Samadhi True Fire was not under Lin Qing's control.
