#169 - Sea of Trees
Lin Sen was wholeheartedly focused on the construction and development of Senyuan City, rarely paying attention to the affairs of the Imperial Capital.
Some time ago, intelligence regarding Qin Buyi was presented to him. After glancing over it, he smiled and dismissed it, even saying to his advisors, "This is merely a scheme used by His Highness the Third Prince of the Imperial Capital to compete for power with His Highness the First Prince; it is not to be trusted."
Later, even when he received an order from the Imperial Capital to hand over fifty secret realms within his jurisdiction to Qin Buyi, he regarded it as nothing more than a tactic employed by the Third Prince, Ying Zhi.
Lin Sen can be said to have turned a deaf ear to outside affairs, focusing solely on the development of Senyuan City.
His backward information channels and inattentive attitude towards current events caused him to appear nonchalant, even somewhat dismissive, when facing Qin Buyi.
But he never expected that Qin Buyi would use his own combat power to completely shatter his self-righteousness.
Only then did Lin Sen recall the intelligence he had previously seen about Qin Buyi, and his heart was filled with shock.
If that intelligence was true, he had stirred up a great deal of trouble this time.
Lin Sen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. However, at the thought of Qin Buyi destroying all the secret realms he had painstakingly cultivated for many years,
Half of the fear in Lin Sen's heart dissipated, and he thought to himself, "No matter who it is, I will not let him destroy the secret realms under my jurisdiction."
Obsessive-compulsive disorder coupled with a miserly mentality, under the double blessing, Lin Sen roared, "Even if you are strong, I will not hand over the secret realms to you."
Qin Buyi stood in front of Lin Sen, looking at Lin Sen's angry expression with some confusion, as if he had done something to him.
Despite his confusion, Qin Buyi had no intention of letting Lin Sen go.
Qin Buyi's time was tight now, and every minute and every second was precious.
Everything standing in Qin Buyi's way would be regarded as an enemy, destined to be swept away.
Lin Sen's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Great Ascension Realm. For the current Qin Buyi, it might be a little troublesome, but it would definitely not constitute an obstacle.
Qin Buyi's voice was cold as he pointed the Killing Life Blade at Lin Sen and said, "I'll give you one last chance, take me to the secret realms, or die."
From Qin Buyi's body emanated an aura that made Lin Sen tremble slightly, and a sense of fear that even he himself did not expect arose in Lin Sen's heart.
When Lin Sen thought about giving these secret realms to Qin Buyi, and the final result would be that the secret realms would all be shattered and destroyed, an unknown force suddenly surged in his heart, and he shouted:
"Qin Buyi, I'll say it one last time. I can't possibly give you the secret realms. You should obediently go back to the Imperial Capital now and be your Advanced Instructor at the Great Ming Academy. Everything will be forgiven! If you are still stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Sen's words completely ignited the killing intent in Qin Buyi's heart.
Qin Buyi no longer bothered to think about what reasons Lin Sen had, or what his purpose was in doing so.
Daring to obstruct Qin Buyi at such an important moment, again and again, there was only one consequence! Kill!
Qin Buyi was not a woman of kindness, and he would not hesitate to do things.
Qin Buyi would not delay his next series of arrangements because of a Lin Sen.
If good words of persuasion failed, then he would kill you and completely eliminate the obstacles.
A strong killing intent surged from Qin Buyi, and Qin Buyi shouted:
"Killing Life · Annihilation · Immortal Execution!"
"Zheng!"
The blade of the Killing Life Blade vibrated slightly, emitting a series of blade sounds.
The cold light radiating from the blade quickly turned black, and Qin Buyi instantly slashed out two blades.
Two rays of blade light flew out from the Killing Life Blade, chasing each other in the air, merging into one, turning into an incomparably dark blade light, and killing towards Lin Sen.
Lin Sen had just witnessed the power of the Annihilation · Immortal Execution combo, and his voice was somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside as he said, "You dare to show off such petty tricks."
Qin Buyi's voice was calm and devoid of emotion as he said, "Whether it's a petty trick or not depends on whether you can take it."
"Humph, what's so difficult about that." Lin Sen said loudly.
"Source Wood Art · Giant Tree Arrow Formation!"
As soon as Lin Sen's voice fell, towering trees once again condensed in the arena.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"…
Towering trees rose from the ground, turning their trunks in the air to face Qin Buyi.
"Crack!" "Crack!"
"Crack!"…
In mid-air, the roots of the towering trees began to deform, turning into a sharp arrow tip at the tail end.
Qin Buyi looked at the giant tree arrow formation in mid-air with a calm expression, without a trace of fluctuation.
The giant tree arrow formation was not much different from the wood arrow formation that Lin Sen had just cast. If there was a difference, it was just that one was an arrow composed of towering trees, and the other was an ordinary, common arrow.
Of course, there was still a big change in power. The wood arrow formation was at most a mediocre attack in the early stage of the Great Ascension Realm.
The giant tree arrow formation had faintly reached the attack intensity of the middle stage of the Great Ascension Realm.
"Go!" Lin Sen reached out and pointed at the dark blade light.
The giant tree arrow formation immediately crashed towards the dark blade light.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"…
The dark blade light collided with the giant tree arrow formation, making loud noises like the collision of gold and iron.
After one breath, when only one-third of the total amount of the giant tree arrow formation remained, it completely shattered the dark blade light.
After the dark blade light dissipated, a light full of annihilation aura rose in the giant tree arrow formation.
"Zzz～" "Zzz～"…
The giant tree arrow formation was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, there were no more giant trees in the arena.
The annihilation light spread towards Lin Sen's direction.
Lin Sen's face was a little ugly. He knew that Qin Buyi's sword technique was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
If he used Wood Escape to escape again this time, without Qin Buyi mocking him, he would ridicule himself in his heart.
Lin Sen gritted his teeth secretly, without dodging or avoiding, and shouted, "Qin Buyi, this must be your strongest sword technique, right? Next, I will also use my strongest attack that is bound to win to fight you, I hope you can take it."
If Qin Buyi hadn't forced him too hard, and he hadn't said such big words, Lin Sen wouldn't have been able to make up his mind to use this move.
The move that Lin Sen was about to use was very powerful, but the side effects were equally obvious. After using this move, Lin Sen would completely lose his combat power.
It would take at least twelve hours to regain combat power.
This was undoubtedly a huge and fatal flaw in the ever-changing battle between cultivators.
Unless he had the confidence to win, otherwise, once he used this move and it didn't work, the consequences would be conceivable.
"Source Wood Art · Tree Sea!"
Lin Sen's throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
In order to maximize the probability of this move successfully hitting Qin Buyi, Lin Sen burned the essence blood in his body.
After Lin Sen burned his essence blood, his face instantly turned pale, his breath changed up and down, and a sense of weakness came from his body.
Lin Sen went all out, pushing forward with both hands and shouting, "Qin Buyi, don't blame me if you accidentally die under this move! It's all your own fault!"
