Scarface looked blankly at the broken blade in his hand.
"I always feel like I've seen this scene before."
Lin Shan and Scarface thought this simultaneously.
...
The situation was once extremely awkward.
But the next scene was completely different from before; Scarface decisively threw away the broken blade in his hand, turned around, and ran!
After all, this time there were no teammates by him, and no weapons on the ground for him to pick up, although picking up a new one would also be useless.
However, Scarface didn't know that Lin Shan's weapon had just become a divine weapon. After all, during the enhancement, he could only see a flash of white light. He wasn't very clear about what changes had occurred inside, only thinking that Lin Shan had also used some hidden trump card, such as a powerful internal cultivation method or martial arts secret technique.
Moreover, their blades had clashed earlier, and they had fought back and forth, so he hadn't thought about the weapon changing.
But the problem was, his newly bought saber hadn't even been warmed up yet, so why did he fail again?
"Damn the Nightingale logistics, it must be a quality issue, I'm going to complain!"
Scarface, who was fleeing for his life, turned his head and glanced at Lin Shan, who was in hot pursuit, cursing everyone responsible for purchasing in the Nightingale logistics in his heart.
"I accept that the cafeteria is contracted out to your own relatives, but are your weapons also contracted out to your own relatives?"
Scarface felt bitter. He had saved up contribution points for many years to exchange for saber techniques, and to prevent failing like last time, he had specially bought a new saber. He was so well-prepared, yet an accident still happened!
'Why? Why is Heaven playing with me like this?'
...
Lin Shan behind him was also in hot pursuit, holding the Kunwu Blade in his hand with murderous intent.
It feels great to hold a divine weapon!
The Eternal Spring True Qi continuously repaired the injuries in his body. Lin Shan's condition got better and better. The advantage of the Innate Skill was highlighted at this time; in terms of endurance, it was streets ahead of Acquired Skills.
It was laughable that Scarface thought he could escape? Too naive!
At this moment, he saw him point his palm at Scarface from a distance, his little finger slightly hooked, and a faint mechanical click sounded, "Gabbang."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Scarface, who was running ahead, suddenly heard the sound of wind. He glanced back and was scared out of his wits.
"Holy crap! Sleeve darts!"
How could Scarface, this assassin, not know about this vicious hidden weapon that required 50 contribution points to exchange for in Nightingale?
But who would tighten their purse strings? The contribution points saved were exchanged for cultivation methods and martial arts. Who would be foolish enough to be taken advantage of and exchange for this thing!
...
Scarface tried his best to dodge left and right, but the Plum Blossom Sleeve Dart fired six shots, named because one was in the center and five were around it, resembling a plum blossom. Although Scarface used evasive maneuvers, he still couldn't dodge all of them, and one hit his right calf.
"Plop!"
After tripping and getting up, Scarface knew he couldn't escape with an injured calf. He had no choice but to stop running, turn around, and look aggrieved and indignant.
"Alright, alright, Soldier 21, I was right about you after all. I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. Then today, you and I will fight to the death!"
As Martial Artists, who wouldn't know a few boxing and kicking moves? Scarface threw his fists and fought desperately, making his last stand.
Lin Shan was also not ambiguous and directly slapped him.
"Bang bang bang!"
Their fists and palms met, and low collisions constantly sounded.
One breath later, Scarface's right arm felt a little numb and itchy.
Three breaths later, Scarface's right arm shrunk a circle.
Five breaths later, Scarface's right arm drooped down and lost consciousness.
Scarface looked blankly at his unconscious right arm and sighed.
"Soldier 21, I was right about you after all. You actually have such a trump card."
Lin Shan interrupted him directly, feeling a headache: "Alright, alright, are you a repeating machine? You keep saying the same sentence over and over?"
Scarface stared at him with wide eyes for a while.
"Soldier 21, I didn't expect you at such a young age..."
"Enough, enough!"
Scarface was furious: "You won't even let me talk?"
...
The refreshing mountain wind dispersed the smell of blood. Lin Shan buried the pit in front of him and inserted a few small branches as a sign of respect.
Scarface was a true man; he didn't beg for mercy before he died. He just kept lamenting his bad Luck and how the Nightingale logistics deserved to die.
However, thinking back carefully, Scarface's Overlord Saber Three Forms was indeed fierce. If it weren't for the enhancement panel's desperate comeback, he might have really capsized in the gutter.
At the same time, he secretly reflected that no matter who he encountered in the future, he must not be careless.
Even a minor character like Scarface had such martial arts and schemes, not only investigating his mission movements in advance, hiding at the entrance of the thief hole to wait for him, but also specially preparing new weapons and secret techniques. Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.
It can be seen that the world is vast, and capable people and strange individuals are as numerous as carps crossing the river. If one is not careful, they are very likely to die young.
Lin Shan had eliminated a major enemy, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart was finally lifted. He felt a sense of relief all over.
He probably got dozens of taels of silver from Scarface, but unfortunately, the saber technique wasn't found.
...
"Brother Chicken little, Brother Chicken little?"
Returning to the cave on the mountainside, Lin Shan searched for Brother Chicken little everywhere, but couldn't find him. He didn't know where he had run off to.
"This is the first time I've encountered such a spiritual domestic fowl. It's such a pity to let the chicken return to the mountain like this!"
Seeing that it was almost noon and having been operating with high intensity both mentally and physically since last night, Lin Shan was truly tired and hungry. In the end, he carried the antique down the mountain alone.
...
After eating a meal in Peach Garden Village, Lin Shan followed the villagers' guidance and walked fifty li to a desolate temple.
It was already night when he arrived here. The desolate mountain at night was particularly cold and clear. The moonlight sprinkled on the strange rocks and forests, further creating a lonely and eerie atmosphere.
But Lin Shan was carrying divine weapons, and his courage greatly increased. At this time, even if a Viscera Refinement expert came, he was confident he could fight!
He came here this time, firstly, to travel and find lodging, and secondly, to verify the guess in his heart.
...
Pushing open the temple door, Lin Shan used a tinder to light the altar and the candles around it, making the entire temple much warmer.
Putting down the heavy burden, Lin Shan sat on the futon in front of the Buddha and rested for a while. At the same time, he observed the surroundings and found that there were still traces of recent cleaning.
It seemed that even though the Black Lotus Sect had been seizing faith in recent years, some common people still believed in Buddhism, and some people would come to burn incense and worship Buddha every few days.
Lin Shan looked at the Buddha's Dharma Idol Golden Body in front of him, which was about three Zhang high, with kind eyes and a benevolent face, saving all sentient beings. Deep wisdom was hidden in his eyes, having seen the vicissitudes of the world.
"Excuse me!"
Lin Shan stepped forward, bowed, and touched the incense burner, wooden fish, porcelain ware for offering fruits, etc., on the altar with his hand, but the enhancement panel did not react.
"Huh?"
This was strange. Why would those items of the Black Lotus Sect be stained with Ancient rhyme? But not in front of a genuine Buddha statue?
Could it be?
Lin Shan bowed again, muttering 'my sin, my sin' in his heart, and gently touched the Buddha's Dharma Idol Golden Body in front of him. This time, the enhancement panel finally reacted.
[Buddha's Dharma Idol Golden Body]
Quality: Mortal Object
Description: The Dharma Idol Golden Body of the Buddha in the Immortal Realm, used to communicate with various worlds and absorb incense and wish power from a distance.
Ancient rhyme: 2 (Fading)
...
Good heavens, I've hooked a big fish!
Is the Buddha also absorbing Ancient rhyme? Then am I competing with the Buddha for food? Lin Shan was startled.
But after thinking carefully.
No, what the Buddha absorbs should be incense and wish power, while his enhancement panel absorbs not only incense and wish power, but also Luck and humanistic energy, all of which are ultimately converted into Ancient rhyme.
"What exactly is Ancient rhyme?"
It can ignore physical rules and directly increase the item level out of thin air. The Rank of Ancient rhyme must be far higher than the incense and wish power absorbed by the Buddha.
Lin Shan felt that he had inadvertently deduced a great secret!
...
Now he was struggling with whether to absorb the two points of Ancient rhyme in front of him or not.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Shan still decided.
Absorb!
Firstly, the Buddha is in the Immortal Realm, and he is in the mortal world. They are separated by who knows how far, so the Buddha may not notice him.
Even if he could, for the sake of a mere two points of Ancient rhyme, he wouldn't attack Lin Shan from a distance, right?
The consumption wouldn't even be recovered, a huge loss!
Lin Shan gritted his teeth and chose "Yes" in "Yes/No Absorb."
...
But the next moment, he suddenly felt that a pair of eyes, from beyond the endless Void, had fixed on him.
