Chapter 12

"Xiaolingzi, I'm entrusting the Emperor to you." As Lingxiao was full of doubts, Ling Lingfa had already taken a big step forward with a stick in hand.

Only now did the Emperor notice Lingxiao. He hadn't paid much attention to him when he was arguing with the little girl earlier. Now he realized that Lingxiao was one of Ling Lingfa's people. "Who are you?"

Lingxiao, who was seriously focused on the battle, wouldn't have bothered with the Emperor if he weren't the Emperor. "I am Ling Lingfa's disciple." His somewhat dismissive answer didn't dampen the Emperor's interest.

"Lingfa actually has a disciple! How come I didn't know? Isn't the Bao Long Clan directly responsible to me!"

Lingxiao pouted, dissatisfied. "Did you ever pay attention to him before?"

The Emperor was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit awkward and said nothing more.

Seeing Ling Lingfa charge over alone, the two masked men couldn't help but laugh sinisterly, their bodies trembling as they used exaggerated body language to mock him.

Ling Lingfa put on an angry face, which made the masked men find him even funnier. Just as they were about to mock him, Ling Lingfa suddenly threw a magnet at one of them.

The magnet flew through the air and, as it approached, suddenly changed direction, heading straight for the black-masked man. The black-masked man raised his mourning stick to block it. Bang! The magnet was predictably deflected.

"Is that all you've got? You're really disappointing me. People from the Central Plains are indeed weak; your hidden weapons have no strength at all." The masked man's disdain for Ling Lingfa was off the charts. However, he didn't notice that the magnet, after being deflected, had made a loop in the air and returned to stick to his body.

The black-masked man was stunned, looking down at the magnet on his chest, unable to figure out how he had been hit. Seeing him dazed, Ling Lingfa didn't hesitate and, with all his might, struck the black-masked man's head with the stick.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Even with deep internal martial arts, anyone who hadn't practiced body strengthening couldn't withstand that blow. The black-masked man's head throbbed, and in a fit of rage, he waved his stick to block the next attack. By the time he was ready to counter, Ling Lingfa had already jumped far away.

"Master's speed is really fast! I never noticed before," Lingxiao exclaimed.

"Lingfa has always been fast, especially when washing dishes," the Emperor added.

The black-masked man, embarrassed and angry, wanted to smash Ling Lingfa's head with his stick. But his battle habits made him subconsciously use a clone technique.

"Wow! Is that really a clone technique? Even the magnet on his body can be duplicated!" Lingxiao was shocked but didn't shout out loud because the Emperor was right there.

Seeing the masked man turn into two, Ling Lingfa was equally shocked. However, his eyes showed no fear, only a strange expression. He took a nail from his pocket and lightly threw it. The nail whizzed through the air toward the white-masked man. Ding, the sound was clear and pleasant.

A cold wind blew, and the scene fell silent...

The little girl and the Emperor had to use all their strength to hold back their laughter, afraid of ruining the atmosphere. Lingxiao lowered his head, covering his face with both hands, feeling embarrassed for the masked man. Indeed, intelligence was a hard weakness!

The white-masked man looked down at the nail stuck to the magnet, unsure of what to do. Of course, the cost of being dazed was being hit again by Ling Lingfa's sneak attack.

"Ah! I'll kill you!" The white-masked man's roar hurt Ling Lingfa's ears. Both the black and white-masked men attacked Ling Lingfa simultaneously. Ling Lingfa took a step back and threw a bunch of iron pellets into the air. Under the influence of magnetism, the pellets, as if equipped with automatic navigation, accurately headed toward the magnet.

The white-masked man didn't care about these hidden weapons. From the nail earlier, he could predict that no matter how he dodged or blocked, the pellets would hit the magnet. Since they would hit the magnet, they wouldn't cause any harm to his body.

The laws of physics ensured that the white-masked man's prediction was accurate, but it was only the beginning!

The pellets hit the magnet with a loud clatter. The white-masked man glanced at it indifferently, but in the next second, the pellets exploded upon impact, sending thick smoke high into the air, filling the area with a strong, irritating smell.

Caught off guard, the white and black-masked men were enveloped in the smoke, and two loud coughs came from the smoke. The white-masked man, sensing the danger, immediately held his breath, but the bit of smoke he had inhaled felt like a small knife scraping his throat and nose. The intense coughing made him unable to maintain his clone technique. Bang! The black-masked man turned into a pile of dust. The white-masked man knew he couldn't remain passive and tried to jump out of the smoke. But Ling Lingfa wouldn't miss such a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Before the white-masked man could move, he felt a powerful force surge from the magnet on his body. His body flew out involuntarily, and the doctors saw a flailing figure suddenly fly out of the smoke. The white-masked man, unable to find a foothold in the air, could only watch helplessly as the magnet dragged him toward a corner. And there was a large brazier!

Aaah!

A piercing scream echoed throughout the square. The white mask was long gone, revealing a face that looked like the scene of a car accident. "Hey! No wonder you wear a mask with a face like that!" the little girl said with disgust, watching the masked man wildly swing his mourning stick but still unable to avoid being burned alive. Lingxiao shook his head, finally putting his heart back in his chest.

"An expert!" a voice suddenly said from the side.

Lingxiao and the Emperor turned to see the thin-faced doctor with a small mustache. "Saying he's smart is one thing, but calling Lingfa an expert might be a bit much! His martial arts are quite weak!" the Emperor asked, puzzled.

The doctor pondered and said, "Intelligence, intelligence! Intelligence comes before strength, which clearly shows their importance. I don't know how the masked man's clone technique works, but even if it creates physical bodies, it's still within the realm of illusions. That means he can't create objects out of thin air, and his iron armor won't double. Ling Lingfa saw the key point at a glance and used the magnet to determine the real body."

"Lingfa has always been quite clever!" the Emperor nodded, the first time he had ever praised Ling Lingfa.

The doctor shook his head and continued, "It's not just clever. When the masked man cloned again, Ling Lingfa used a single iron nail to identify the real body! His reaction speed is impressive. This had three purposes: to anger the masked man, to show him that he could see through the clone technique, and to hint that the magnet wouldn't harm him. This made the masked man careless about the magnet, allowing Ling Lingfa to launch the smoke pellets he had prepared in advance and attach another magnet to the brazier, ultimately completing a reversal from a commoner to an expert! The plan was well-structured, simple yet brutal, and he decided the outcome in a playful manner. Such a person certainly deserves the title of expert!"

"Wow! Lingfa (Master) is so strong!" the Emperor and Lingxiao both gasped.

At this point, Ling Lingfa, seeing the masked man finally stop moving, returned with a sense of relief. "Lingfa, you've got some moves!" "Master is awesome!" Ling Lingfa was taken aback by their somewhat fawning words. Lingxiao was one thing, but it was the first time the Emperor had praised him, and it was a bit hard to get used to!

"It's all thanks to the Emperor's leadership!" Ling Lingfa quickly humbly flattered, then added, "The Jin Kingdom is not a place to stay long. Let's go!"

The Emperor was clearly very satisfied with Ling Lingfa's attitude. He squinted his eyes and laughed, "Let's go!"

"Let's go!" ×N.
