Free Web NovelChapter 828: Chapter 82 Thought Dust
The golden-threaded net faded from sight but remained tangibly obstructive between the two.
The space that had been torn open, the air that had been split, the steep "corridor" forged by the Longsword, was "healing."
It was as if heaven and earth had contracted a sickness that was being cured at this moment!
Thus, space could not be torn open, air could not be split, and the Longsword could not advance.
Jiang Wang had once truly witnessed the Eastern King’s Twelve Needles of East King Valley, experienced the profound mysteries of the Medical Practitioner, but this calamity-averting Golden Needle indeed carved its unique path.
It possessed a distinctive character.
If that ancestor of the Gold Needle Sect hadn’t encountered trouble back in the day, it was uncertain what heights the Gold Needle Sect might have reached today.
Jiang Wang held nothing back, pressing a palm down, starlight’s secret reserves bolstered, Samadhi True Fire gushed forth.
The previously resilient and obstructive space suddenly cleared.
This illness, you cannot cure!
The power of the Starlight Holy Tower was rapidly consumed by the flames of Divine Power Fire.
The invisible yet tangible barriers were instantaneously dissolved.
Wu Yiwen was overwhelmed with immense fear.
The fear stemmed not solely from Jiang Wang but even more from the unknown.
He was acutely aware of his predicament, clearly understanding that he had been found by Qi Country’s Qing brand catcher!
This was the vision that often haunted him, robbing him of sleep at night.
Now, imagination had turned to reality.
With one of God’s Inner Mansion Qing brand catchers already here, where could the others be lying in ambush?
But he couldn’t afford to guess further, or observe his surroundings at leisure.
Because, at this moment, the sword of that youthful Qing brand catcher was already upon him!
That one sword fell like the setting sun, with a desolate and irreversible momentum.
The wielder must have experienced the battlefield, sharpened by genuine slaughter, otherwise, they could not manifest such a sword technique.
He flicked out a needle with his fingers, aiming straight for Jiang Wang’s Heavenly Spirit.
This Golden Needle was as fine as a strand of hair, breaking through the air silently, chillingly sharp.
Like a dot of cold frost, heralding snowfall, announcing the onset of winter.
The Golden Needle wove the arrival of winter’s day.
Jiang Wang’s Longsword swept through the air, like brushing willows, his figure drifting like a floating duckweed.
The involuntary sword was brandished with an airy ease.
The sword tip parried the Golden Needle, not meeting it head-on but gliding lightly over its tip, defusing its force, momentarily eluding its threat.
Like duckweed holding up the day of winter, gently tossing it aside. freēwēbnovel.com
Then his toes tapped, scattering the Qingyun Mark.
Stepping through the air as if on level ground, his foot landed beside Wu Yiwen, with the Longsword already at the throat!
"Sever ties with the Saint Tower, or die!"
It happened too suddenly!
The dim light from the far reaches of the sky disappeared in an instant.
The starlight dissipated from Wu Yiwen’s body, his neck stiffening, motionless, clearly aware of the situation.
He even raised his hands with palms open and fingers spread to show he had absolutely no intention of resisting.
The Golden Needle cannot avert calamity, and healers struggle to heal themselves!
These events may sound prolonged when described, but in reality, they unfolded in the briefest of instants.
Not until this moment did Zhongxuan Xin, who had been hiding inside the compound, think it was "the right moment" to rush out, but as soon as he did, the fight had already ended.
He was not a coward, nor was he trying to shirk his duty; he genuinely wanted to make a good impression in front of Jiang Wang. After all, he was quite certain that Jiang Wang, with the two divine skills from the two Inner Mansions, would definitely be able to defeat Wu Yiyu of the External Building Environment.
But he hadn’t expected the fight to end so quickly!
Just two rounds? Three rounds?
It was almost like the moment he heard the commotion in the courtyard, he purposely hesitated a bit before rushing out, only to find that there was no chance left for him to perform.
Was this the strength of the strongest young genius of Daqi that brother Sheng talked about?
At this moment, Zhongxuan Xin almost entirely accepted Zhongxuan Sheng’s assessment. If not him, then who could be number one?
Wang Yiwu, Lei Zhanqian, those who had been known as geniuses before, had already proven their strength.
Jiang Wang did not care about Zhongxuan Xin’s feelings. He meticulously used the Body-Binding Chain to tightly bind Wu Yiyu before finally sheathing his Longsword.
In this battle, he consciously refrained from using the Deviant Path Technique, even though it would have made winning more effortless.
The strength of the Deviant Path lies in its secrecy.
On this point, Zhuang Chenggan had already provided enough experience.
Throughout his life, maneuvering among the major powers, in the end, not many knew he possessed the Deviant Path Technique. It was precisely because of this that the Deviant Path often brought him decisive victories.
In such a public fight, and also Jiang Wang’s first open confrontation with a Cultivator of the Outer Building Environment, with no modesty, given Jiang Wang’s current fame in Qi Country, this battle would inevitably attract the attention and study of those with intentions.
Even on the scene, there were pairs of keen eyes. Any slight trace could hardly be missed by Lin Youxie.
Two Inner Mansions, two divine skills—these were no secret, but what the second divine skill was, let those people guess.
For those who truly wanted to witness it, they must be prepared to disappear along with the secret.
It’s commonly believed that Medical Practitioners are not very adept at combat, which the powerhouses of East King Valley would probably disagree with. However, it is indeed true that most Medical Practitioners generally have a lower prowess in battle, and this Wu Yiyu was indeed not very strong.
Jiang Wang easily defeated and captured him, marking the mission of hunting the criminal as complete.
Compared with the flabbergasted Zhongxuan Xin, Lin Youxie was much more composed and calm. Perhaps because of her "research" on Jiang Wang, she had a considerable understanding of his capabilities; hence she was not surprised by the outcome of this battle.
She walked over from the end of the alley, gently pushed the bound Wu Yiyu, and directly pushed him into the courtyard.
She said, "Stop making a spectacle outside. Although the Jade Toad Sect is small, dealings with them can still be troublesome." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Xin followed her into the courtyard, and Lin Youxie casually closed the gate behind them.
"How did you find me?"
Pushed into the middle of the courtyard, Wu Yiyu could not hide his panic, but also felt indignant and confused, "I’ve done everything I could do, I was careful enough!"
Jiang Wang couldn’t be bothered to explain and only asked Lin Youxie, "Does Arrest Officer Lin personally take people back, or should I send a message for someone to come pick him up?"
"Lord Jiang, can you keep some compassion? This Mister Wu Yiyu, on his return to Linzi, will face punishment and cannot escape death. Wouldn’t you resolve his doubts before he dies?"
Lin Youxie said, looking at Wu Yiyu, "I can satisfy one of your curiosities, but you also need to satisfy one of mine. Do we have a deal?"
Wu Yiyu gave a bitter smile, "What do I have left that I can’t say? If you wish to listen to the rants of a defeated dog, then go ahead, it is not too bad."
"Qingyun Mark."
Lin Youxie straightforwardly explained, "I had placed Qingyun Marks on the Cui Fang Luo. Not to mention you didn’t notice it, even if your master were to come back to life, he wouldn’t detect it either."
"So that’s how it is!"
After all, Wu Yiyu was a native of Qi Country, living there for over fifty years, he had some understanding of certain things. Over the years, one accumulates some knowledge.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but bitterly smile and say, "A descendant of Lin Kuang? The saying ’Never forgotten, as if linked by dust.’ I had only heard of it, but now I have truly experienced it."
Qingyun Mark is not an object but a secret technique.
It could be roughly understood as "the dust of thoughts," or scattered musings, fragmented thoughts.
It was the unique secret technique of the legendary arrest officer Lin Kuang.
Once it was placed somewhere, attached to any object, there was almost no way to detect it. Yet, the Caster could effortlessly find the target’s location through connection.
Lin Youxie did not "reminisce" with him, simply stating, "I have satisfied your curiosity. Now it’s your turn to satisfy mine."
