Chapter 466 Facing the Battle Again
Chapter 466 Facing the Battle Again
This feeling of resonating with heaven and earth was unprecedented, as if I had become a bridge between heaven and earth, with endless power flowing through my body.
The two were immersed in this wonderful state, and they didn't know how much time had passed until Liu Wushuang's injuries were completely healed.
Lin Han slowly finished his practice and noticed that the sun was already setting outside the window.
"How are you feeling?" he asked softly.
Liu Wushuang turned around, her face regaining its color, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light: "I've never felt this good."
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly grasped Lin Han's hand. "Do you know? Being able to manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth means you are indeed of Sect Master Ye's bloodline. This is a talent possessed only by the direct descendants of the Xuan Tian Sect."
Lin Han looked down at their clasped hands, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He once thought he was Lin Zhennan's son, living an ordinary yet happy life.
Now he has become the sect leader of Xuantian Sect, shouldering the heavy responsibility of wiping out a blood feud and reviving the sect.
“I’m not sure I can do this job as sect leader…” he said honestly.
Liu Wushuang's hand tightened: "I will help you. This is my master's... and also my father's last wish."
"Your father?"
"Liu Xuanfeng, one of the four protectors of the Xuantian Sect, and the junior brother of Sect Master Ye." A trace of sorrow flashed in Liu Wushuang's eyes. "In that great battle twenty years ago, to cover your mother and your escape, he single-handedly held off seven masters from the Qingcheng Sect, and ultimately..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Lin Han understood. Yet another life sacrificed for his family.
He suddenly realized that he was carrying not only the hatred for his parents, but also the blood debt of countless disciples of the entire Xuantian Sect.
"From this day forward," he solemnly declared, "I will no longer seek revenge solely for the Lin family, but for all the unjustly murdered souls of the Xuantian Sect."
Liu Wushuang gazed at him, then suddenly reached out and touched his cheek: "You really look like Sect Leader Ye... especially those eyes."
Her fingers gently traced his brow bone, her movements incredibly tender.
Lin Han held his breath, afraid of disturbing this moment.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, gilding Liu Wushuang with a golden edge, making the beauty mark at the corner of her eye particularly noticeable in the light.
The distance between the two closed without them realizing it, and their breaths mingled.
Just as their lips were about to touch, hurried footsteps and Amu's shouts suddenly came from outside:
"Sect Master! Something terrible has happened! A large force from the Qingcheng Sect is heading towards the fishing village!"
The two suddenly realized what was happening and quickly separated.
Liu Wushuang straightened her collar, while Lin Han strode towards the door: "How many people?"
"At least a hundred!" Amu said breathlessly, "Yu Canglang and Situ E are leading the team, and... and Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, is personally involved!"
Lin Han and Liu Wushuang exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect and the mastermind behind the massacre of the Xuantian Sect, has now personally come out of seclusion, clearly determined to succeed.
"Notify the entire village to prepare for battle," Lin Han commanded in a deep voice, his tone already carrying the authority of a sect leader. "At the same time, arrange for the elderly, weak, women, and children to evacuate through the secret passage."
Amu accepted the order and left.
Lin Han turned to Liu Wushuang: "Your injury..."
"It's alright." Liu Wushuang had already drawn her slender sword. "But you, having just mastered the 'Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Heaven,' shouldn't overexert yourself."
Lin Han shook his head and took the Qingfeng Sword and Qingshuang Short Sword from the wall: "This battle is unavoidable."
He paused, then said, "But before the battle, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What?"
“Teach me the complete cultivation method of the ‘Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Heaven’.” Lin Han looked directly into her eyes. “Since you’re going to be the sect leader, you can’t just have half-baked skills.”
Liu Wushuang smiled slightly: "Alright. However, time is limited, so I can only teach you the most crucial part—Nine Revolutions Return to One."
She had Lin Han sit cross-legged, while she stood before him, her slender sword held level: "The Nine Revolutions of the Profound Heaven, each revolution a new realm. Successfully completing all nine revolutions allows one to reach the Profound Heaven. But the most crucial step is the 'Return to Oneness' after the nine revolutions..."
The rapier drew nine arcs in the air, each corresponding to a different path of true energy circulation.
Lin Han was completely focused, and the true energy within his body involuntarily circulated with the sword's momentum.
After nine turns, Liu Wushuang's sword aura suddenly changed, and the nine sword lights merged into one, transforming into a dazzling radiance.
"This is..."
"Nine Revolutions Return to One." Liu Wushuang sheathed her sword and stood still. "By combining the nine different types of true energy into one, it unleashes ten times its power. However, this move consumes a great deal of internal energy; it should only be used as a last resort."
Lin Han tried to circulate his internal energy according to the method she demonstrated, and immediately felt as if his meridians were being burned by raging fire, causing him unbearable pain.
He gritted his teeth and persevered until the nine types of true energy barely merged, and suddenly an unprecedented power filled his entire body.
"I understand!" He opened his eyes, only to find Liu Wushuang's face pale. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing..." Liu Wushuang forced a smile. "Demonstrating 'Nine Revolutions Return to One' took a bit too much effort. Don't worry, you'll be fine after a short rest."
Lin Han helped her sit down, feeling both touched and guilty.
Liu Wushuang was willing to deplete her own vital energy in order to teach him.
He didn't know how to repay this kindness.
A bugle call sounded in the distance, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps and the clash of weapons.
The Qingcheng Sect members have arrived.
“Let’s go.” Liu Wushuang stood up. “In this battle, we will fight side by side.”
Lin Han nodded, swords in hand, and strode towards the door.
The Qingcheng Sect's forces pressed in like dark clouds, completely surrounding the fishing village.
Yu Canghai, dressed in a dark green robe, stood at the front of the formation, his face sinister and his eyes like lightning.
He looked to be in his early fifties, but Lin Han knew that this devil was actually nearly seventy years old and only maintained his youthful appearance through evil arts.
"Remnants of the Ye family," Yu Canghai's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, revealing his profound inner strength, "Hand over the *Mysterious Heaven True Scripture*, and I will grant you a complete corpse."
Lin Han stood at the forefront of the villagers, holding the Qingfeng Sword in his hand and the Qingshuang Sword hanging at his waist.
Liu Wushuang stood beside him, her slender sword pointing diagonally at the ground, the tip trembling slightly, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
"Yu Canghai!" Lin Han suppressed his anger, but his voice still trembled slightly. "Twenty years ago, you massacred the Xuan Tian Sect to seize the True Scripture, and three years ago you killed my adoptive parents. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai burst into laughter, his laughter infused with internal energy, causing several villagers to cover their ears: "You think you can beat a greenhorn like you?"
His gaze shifted, landing on Liu Wushuang, a strange glint in his eyes. "Liu Xuanfeng's daughter is here too; we can deal with her all at once."
Situ E stepped out from behind Yu Canghai, his chains clanking: "Sect Leader, why must you do it yourself? Let me handle these two juniors."
Yu Canghai nodded slightly.
Situ grinned maliciously as he stepped forward, the iron chains coiling in the air like venomous snakes: "Kid, you escaped by chance last time, but you won't be so lucky this time!"
Just as Lin Han was about to engage, Liu Wushuang spoke first: "I'll deal with him. You conserve your strength to face Yu Canghai."
Before the words were even finished, the person had already shot out like an arrow, the slender sword clashing with the iron chain, sparks flying everywhere.
