The Fourth Financial Crisis

Noticing Yang Lu's teasing gaze, Lin Jianxing unconsciously stopped his dancing performance.

Although Lin Jianxing has been in charge of the highest authority of the Wuliang Sword Sect for three hundred years, and has been promoted to the Nascent Soul realm for thousands of years, his life experience in high positions for many years has not allowed him to calm down quickly.

On the contrary, the more advanced a cultivator is, the more uncontrollable the feeling of panic becomes when they find that the magic power they rely on to maintain their identity and status has disappeared. They are even more difficult to accept the reality than ordinary low-level cultivators.

Mo Yunlan himself is the kind of character who is not alarmed by changes, but when he just spoke, there was still a slight tremor in his tone, while Mingzhu seemed to be a little calmer, mainly because he was in Qishan Prison. Being in prison for more than two hundred years has made others feel a little numb, and they don't feel that big of a gap in their hearts.

As for Lin Jianxing, the fear in his eyes could hardly be concealed. He did not have the usual blazing flames of the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, and he did not even dare to look face to face with Yang Lu.

Noticing Yang Lu's provocative gaze, Lin Jianxing had no choice but to bite the bullet and reprimanded: "What do you want to do? Could it be that the change in the world that just happened has something to do with you? What on earth have you done to us!"

Yang Lu spread his hands and said with a smile: "The world-destroying natural disaster that poses the greatest threat to the Jiuzhou cultivation world has been wiped away by the power of the ancient immortals. Master Lin should feel happy! As for what I want to do, didn't we just say it clearly enough? We hope that Leader Lin will take the initiative to hand over the Bailou Sword and let Elder Mo come forward to solve the crisis!"

The two divine swords Bailou and Louguan symbolize the highest authority of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Handing over the Bailou Sword is actually a euphemism for handing over the position of leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

"Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has disappeared, you still want to..."

Lin Jianxing originally wanted to continue angrily scolding Yang Lu for taking advantage of others, but he was not a fool after all. He soon seemed to understand a key issue: "Wait! You are still trying to snatch the position of the head of Wuliang Sword Sect at this time. Sir, do you think you have a way to restore the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

In fact, Yang Lu was unable to do this, but this did not prevent him from pretending to be powerful: "We can mobilize the restrictions of the ancient immortals to prevent the natural disaster that will destroy the world, and it is natural to restore the aura of heaven and earth. Master Lin, you no longer have chosen!"

A look of doubt flashed across Lin Jianxing's face, but soon he sneered as if to cheer himself up: "You're lying to me! Now I have no magic power to use. If you can really manipulate me at will, why don't you ask me to take the initiative? Did you come out with the White Mansion Sword? I'm afraid you've already grabbed it openly! Now that the aura of heaven and earth has disappeared, it's hard for you to even move your position, let alone force me to go to the palace. And if you dare to restore the aura of heaven and earth immediately, I will fight to the death Even if we die together, we won’t let shameless traitors like you succeed!”

Cultivators can indeed exert combat power far beyond their original level through certain secret techniques that overdraw their own power. Mingzhu's method of self-destructing his own magic weapon just now is one of them. However, most of these spells would damage one's own cultivation foundation. Even though the battle just now was extremely fierce, only Mingzhu used similar moves.

To be honest, Yang Lu didn't believe that Lin Jianxing had such courage.

However, whether Lin Jianxing has the courage or not does not affect the outcome at this time. Yang Lu just shrugged indifferently and said: "Master Lin, we just don't want to make things too ugly. Since you insist on going against the trend and resisting us, After all, don’t blame us for not being kind to each other!”

After hearing Yang Lu's arrogant speech, Lin Jianxing also turned his scrutinizing gaze towards Yang Lu. He wanted to see through his expression whether Yang Lu was deceiving him.

However, he discovered that Yang Lu was not looking at him directly, but at the side and behind him.

Following Yang Lu's gaze, Lin Jianxing suddenly discovered that a short figure was taking advantage of his unpreparedness and slowly approaching behind him through a method similar to "swimming". At this time, the distance from him was already less than ten meters, and this figure was already less than ten meters away from him. The person is actually his newly recruited disciple Murong!

Why does Murong appear here?

Before Lin Jianxing could figure out what Murong's presence here meant, Murong took out a black tube from his arms and pointed the black hole at himself.

If Lin Jianxing read it correctly, this tubular object should be some kind of magic weapon made of black iron and fine gold. As the most popular weapon refining material in the world of cultivation, black iron and fine gold has almost no advantages except that the physical strength of the material is high enough. , usually wholesale materials for vassal sects to build standard weapons.

What's more, now that there is no spiritual energy in the world, a magic weapon made of this material is almost the same as a fire stick.

After Murong pointed the "fire stick" at Lin Jianxing in front of him, he did not take any further action, but asked loudly: "Consultant Yang, do you want to take action now? This distance is close enough!"

Suppressed by the power of heaven, even the immortal-level Qiankun Ring could no longer communicate normally, so Murong was forced to shout to Yang Lu for instructions on the next step.

Yang Lu first silently counted the time, and then responded loudly: "Wait for another thirty seconds to start!"

Seeing his close disciple colluding with Yang Lu, Lin Jianxing was shocked and angry: "Murong! You have been in the Wuliang Sword Sect for so many years, and you are still secretly colluding with this group of Haiya City rebels?!"

However, Murong did not answer Lin Jianxing's question.

After counting silently in his mind for thirty seconds, Murong shook his head and said: "Master, times have changed! The remnants of the Transcendental Sect are no longer suitable for the world of cultivation in the new era. It's time for you, the Transcendental Sect monks, to withdraw from the stage of history! "

Before Lin Jianxing could say anything else, Murong pulled the button that Consultant Yang called the "trigger".

"boom!"

With a dull loud noise, Murong, who could not use any force in the air, flew upside down like a top. At the same time, Lin Jianxing in front of her also felt as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he fell on his back on the spot. land.

"What is this? Why does it have no spiritual energy fluctuations?"

Seeing Murong raise his hand and use "Palm Thunder" to knock down Lin Jianxing, the strongest cultivator in Zhongzhou, on the spot, Mingzhu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Yang Lu smiled and shook his head, but did not answer.

The thing that Murong took out was actually an upgraded version of the matchlock gun. This was also a secret weapon that Yang Lu secretly developed by ordering Murong to completely rule the outlying islands.

It stands to reason that if this thing is developed by the team here in Haiya City, the efficiency will be countless times higher than that of Murong working behind closed doors. However, Yang Lu's confidentiality requirements for gunpowder are too high, so he can only leave the research and development tasks to someone like Murong. Trust people.

This is not to say that Yang Lu doesn't trust Li Qingning enough, but that Li Qingning is indeed not a scientific researcher.

Although the development of the musket took a little longer, it was overall very smooth.

Although Yang Lu had only a partial understanding of the principles of muskets, the black technology in the world of cultivation was too powerful.

For example, materials such as black iron and fine gold have better performance than the most advanced alloys on earth in the 21st century. More importantly, cultivators can also use weapon refining techniques to easily shape the inner wall into a perfect cylindrical shape.

Therefore, although the firing principle of this "trial musket" is very backward, its performance and accuracy are definitely ahead of the times.

The only problem is that the efficiency of processing this thing by Murong alone is too low, and if it is processed in large quantities, the confidentiality of the gunpowder will become a serious problem, so so far, Murong has only made a few samples.

After learning that the Forbidden Demon Realm was about to come, Yang Lu immediately ordered Murong to rush to the scene carrying these "trial muskets".

Even Yang Lu, the instigator, did not expect that these muskets, originally made to completely change the situation on the outlying islands, would be used in the first actual combat to defeat Lin Jianxing, the strongest person in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou!

After confirming that Lin Jianxing had fallen to the ground, Yang Lu once again set his sights on the ancient heaven that was as brilliant as the second sun in the sky.

"Ten minutes, it's almost over..."
