Chapter 27

Second update!

But time was also passing, second by second.

Yin Yewang did not step forward.

In his remaining right eye, a deep hatred and a profound fear were evident.

He feared Lin Qing’s powerful “projectile.”

If he were hit again, Yin Yewang would surely lose his life here.

But if he fled, he would never be able to retrieve the倚天剑 (Yitian Sword) that Lin Qing had taken.

"Fine, a true scion of a noble family," Yin Yewang finally spoke, sneering. "You can keep the Yitian Sword for now. I will surely repay you in the future."

He was a man who knew when to act and when to let go, a true hero.

Even if the Yitian Sword was precious, it was not worth more than his life.

The most despicable thing about this boy was that he had immediately released the【求救焰火】 (rescue flare), revealing his location. Yin Liting and others were probably already on their way, and 20 miles was nothing for martial arts experts.

Yin Yewang dared not stay any longer. Facing Lin Qing, he took a step back.

He had decided to abandon the Yitian Sword, and Lin Qing had no way to harm him.

He could see that the powerful projectile seemed to require a certain interval before it could be fired again. As long as he was cautious, Lin Qing would have no chance to strike.

It seemed that Lin Qing was about to lose his advantage.

Lin Qing sighed, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

The overall situation was in his favor, and he could not let Yin Yewang escape.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Hall Master Yin?"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out something!

Yin Yewang had already made up his mind to leave, no matter what Lin Qing said.

It was better to keep a low profile and wait for a better opportunity.

But when Lin Qing revealed the item, his eyes narrowed instantly!

Because it was the treasure he had been dreaming of.

The【教主令牌】 (Master Token) of the Heaven Eagle Sect!

And it was the three pieces that had already been assembled, needing only the last piece in his possession to form the complete【教主令牌】 (Master Token)!

"Yin Wufu and the others! Traitors!" Yin Yewang immediately understood the situation, filled with shock and anger.

In his view, Yin Wufu and the others had been captured and had betrayed the Heaven Eagle Sect.

Lin Qing smiled faintly, not revealing the truth, and said calmly, "Hall Master Yin, if you kill me, you can get the Yitian Sword and the complete【教主令牌】 (Master Token). What do you think?"

Yin Yewang laughed wildly, "You, a mere child, are truly laughable. I am the Hall Master of the Heaven Eagle Sect’s Tianwei Hall and the future Young Master. The Heaven Eagle Sect will be mine eventually! What use do I have for the【教主令牌】 (Master Token)?"

"How long is 'eventually'?" A devilish smile flashed across Lin Qing’s face as he said softly, "In this battle at Bright Peak, if Grandfather Yin intended to make you the Master, why did he divide the【教主令牌】 (Master Token) into four pieces and give the other three to his confidants? Wasn’t it because he feared that his ambitious son would do something behind his back?"

Such a secret and private matter was seen through by Song Qing, a Wudang disciple, causing Yin Yewang’s face, covered in blood and tissue fluid, to twitch.

He was also dissatisfied with his father’s arrangements.

If he feared that his father would die in the battle at Bright Peak and leave no successor, why did he divide the Master Token into four pieces? Were the three fools, Yin Wufu, so easily betrayed? Was this your judgment?

Lin Qing continued calmly, "In this battle at Bright Peak, the Ming Sect is already doomed. The Heaven Eagle Sect, which was originally uninvolved, could have been safe and sound. If the Ming Sect were destroyed, the Heaven Eagle Sect would naturally become the leader and flourish. But Grandfather Yin insisted on coming to the rescue, getting involved in the chaos. Alas, the six major sects, with their blind weapons and fierce battles, could easily cost Grandfather Yin his life. At that time, with the【教主令牌】 (Master Token), you could quickly take control of the Heaven Eagle Sect and become the first person in the Ming Sect! Wouldn’t you be even more free than Yang Xiao now?"

His long speech had only one purpose.

To delay time.

He could not let Yin Yewang escape.

Yin Yewang, of course, knew this.

But his feet seemed tied by a rope. The【教主令牌】 (Master Token) was more tempting to him than the Yitian Sword!

With the【教主令牌】 (Master Token), if Yin Tianzheng were to die, he would be the only Master of the Heaven Eagle Sect. Even if Yin Tianzheng did not die, with this token, he could easily sideline the old man and become the true master of the Heaven Eagle Sect.

The killing intent in his remaining eye deepened as he looked at Lin Qing.

But Lin Qing was not at all anxious.

If this strategy were used on the Wudang Seven Heroes, it would be useless.

But on the cunning Yin Yewang, it was like a fly drawn to a stench, particularly effective.

Finally, Yin Yewang could not resist the temptation of the【教主令牌】 (Master Token) and the Yitian Sword. He ignored the danger and pounced on Lin Qing!

Lin Qing sighed.

Greed blinds the mind.

Yin Yewang, such a smart person, should not have been so greedy.

Behind greed lies death.

But he was still greedy.

But facing the charging Yin Yewang, Lin Qing was just one step away from death.

How did he respond?

Lin Qing suddenly raised his pistol.

Yin Yewang, who had been shot in the head twice, was deeply afraid of the pistol’s power. He instinctively stopped.

But Lin Qing only took a step back.

A clear whistle came from behind Lin Qing.

Yin Liting!

After such a delay, Yin Liting finally arrived!

Infinite regret flashed in Yin Yewang’s eyes.

He turned and fled.

If he didn’t run now, it would be too late.

Yin Liting’s right hand was injured by Yin Yewang, but his left hand and legs were fine.

His running speed was naturally faster than Yin Yewang’s.

A sharp light flashed in Lin Qing’s eyes, and he shouted, "Sixth Uncle Yin, catch it!"

He threw the Yitian Sword.

Yin Liting caught the Yitian Sword and charged at Yin Yewang.

A hint of despair flashed in Yin Yewang’s eyes.

Lin Qing watched from a distance, panting.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take all the credit for killing Yin Yewang.

It was simply impossible.

The gap in strength between him and Yin Yewang was too large, and trying to take all the credit would likely cost him his life.

Two headshots, one throat cut, 65 points of damage, plus saving Extermination, taking the Yitian Sword, and assisting Yin Liting—these benefits were enough.

Greed leads to ruin.

Yin Liting, wielding the Yitian Sword, using Wudang sword techniques + the supreme divine weapon, against a one-eyed, poisoned, and severely injured Yin Yewang, had little suspense.

After 10 moves, Yin Liting roared and used the Wudang sword technique【三峰绝顶】 (Three Peaks Absolute Summit), piercing Yin Yewang’s heart with the Yitian Sword, which was filled with despair.

Yin Yewang turned his head, full of regret, to look at Lin Qing.

As death approached, his greatest enemy was not Yin Liting, who had struck the final blow.

It was not even Extermination, who had severely injured him twice.

It was Lin Qing.

If it weren’t for Lin Qing, he would have already taken Extermination’s head and the Yitian Sword, returned in glory to Bright Peak.

The benefits he would have gained would be unimaginable.

The Ming Sect disciples who hated Extermination would greatly support him, even to the point of rivaling Yang Xiao.

But now, he was dying in the desert.

This Song Qing, with various temptations, had restrained him, making him miss one opportunity after another, ultimately leading to his tragic end.

"Killer, Song Qing!"

Yin Yewang used the last bit of air in his chest to roar.

Darkness enveloped him.

He fell.

Yin Liting felt a deep sense of respect and turned to look at Lin Qing.

He knew that the one who truly killed Yin Yewang was Lin Qing.

Previously, when he fought Yin Yewang, his right hand was broken.

This time?

He cleanly and decisively killed the famous young master of the Heaven Eagle Sect, Yin Yewang, in just 10 moves.

What was the difference?

It was Nephew Qing.

When he looked over, Song Qing was rushing to Extermination.

Seeing Yin Liting use the Yitian Sword to kill Yin Yewang, he felt a deep bitterness.

But he knew that even if Yin Liting hadn’t come, he couldn’t have kept the Yitian Sword for himself.

How many people coveted the Yitian Sword as a divine weapon?

Even if he could miraculously kill Yin Yewang and then kill Extermination, how long could he hide the Yitian Sword?

Within half a day, a large number of people would come asking about the fate of the Yitian Sword.

Say you don’t know?

How many experts have been ruined by the Dragon Slaying Saber?

Was Zhang Cuishan not powerful? Was Zhang Sanfeng not powerful?

The Wudang Seven Heroes, direct disciples, respected by all, with Zhang Sanfeng and the Wudang Seven Heroes as their backing?

Yet, a rumor about the Dragon Slaying Saber forced him and Yin Suxia to commit suicide on Wudang Mountain in front of Zhang Sanfeng!

Could a mere Lin Qing, known as the third-generation disciple Song Qing, keep the Yitian Sword?

If you go out with Extermination and both Yin Yewang and Extermination are dead, and only you are left alive, and you say you don’t know?

Do you think everyone else is a fool?

Therefore, this famous divine weapon with 25 points of attack, after being used by Lin Qing for just one move, had to be given up.

But the difference between Lin Qing and Yin Yewang was that he knew when and where to achieve the greatest benefit and what not to touch.

The Yitian Sword, for now, could not be touched.

If he wanted to take it, it had to be in a situation where there was no evidence.

He rushed to Extermination and took out the last Yunnan Baiyao, smiling bitterly.

He was so injured that he didn’t even use it, but now he had to use it to please this master.

He fed it to her.

Extermination slowly opened her eyes, full of approval and affection for Lin Qing.

Clearly, although she was severely injured, she was not on the brink of death.

Just now, Lin Qing’s brave and intelligent battle against Yin Yewang was all seen by her.

Lin Qing’s cold sweat immediately came down, soaking his clothes.

He was very relieved.

He was glad that he didn’t have a black heart, thinking he was the best and greedy for the Yitian Sword!

Otherwise, even if he had a stroke of luck and managed to kill Yin Yewang, the moment he raised the Yitian Sword to kill Extermination would also be the moment he was killed by Extermination!

Extermination looked at Lin Qing with a smile, and said to the approaching Yin Liting, "Your sect’s disciples are well-trained. Extermination falls short."

Yin Liting smiled, knowing that Extermination, who was proud and never admitted defeat, had praised Wudang in front of Qing, which was the highest praise for a junior.

"Where, Master, you flatter me," Yin Liting said humbly, smiling and bowing as he presented the Yitian Sword.
