Chapter 398: The Weak Defeats the Strong
Then, the female monk showed a beautiful smile and said, "I think being humble is a kind of courtesy that men should show to women."
Lin Han frowned, then stepped aside to make way.
As soon as these words came out, he had to give in.
If he doesn't give in, it will indeed show that he is not magnanimous enough.
And there is a subtext to this sentence: if you are not humble, you are not a man.
The two passed by each other.
Lin Han also walked into the Hall of Yama.
Compared with the mission hall of Tongtian Tower in Xuanling Continent, this Yama Hall is much deserted.
At least now, there is no one else except him.
The entire hall was empty.
In the side hall, there was a table with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and a chair on which sat a listless old man.
Seeing someone walk in, the old man raised his eyes lazily.
"What are you here for?"
A cold voice sounded.
"Well, I want to join Yama Palace."
Lin Han went straight to the point and stated the purpose of this trip.
"Fifth level of the Great Emperor Realm... barely passable."
The old man nodded, then grabbed a blank piece of paper, picked up the brush, and scribbled on the paper.
At the hour of Si on a certain day of a certain year, Yama Palace added a new...
"Is it male or female?"
"……male."
"Well, Yama Palace has added a new sword cultivator, a man...name?"
"Zhang San."
"Which sect's disciple?"
"Rogue cultivator."
"No sect or school?" The old man raised his eyelids again and said lazily, "Think carefully. If you have a sect or school, and have reached the Great Emperor Realm, you will be rewarded with an Immortal Realm Pill and other elixirs by joining the Yama Palace."
"No."
"Okay then... take your fingerprints."
The old man threw the white paper away.
It seems that cultivators without any sect or school really cannot get the attention of the old man.
Lin Han bit his index finger and left a fingerprint on it.
The old man took the white paper and examined it, then nodded and said, "Well, from now on, you are the assassin of Yama Palace."
"The assassins in Yama Palace are not ranked by strength, but by assassination level. There are ten levels: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, S, R, and Kwai. You are at the lowest level, Kwai."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden sign and threw it on the table.
Another parchment was thrown over.
"Okay, let's go and do whatever you want."
The old man closed his eyes and dozed off as if no one was around.
Take the wooden sign and parchment scroll.
The remaining blood in his hand stained the wooden sign and the parchment scroll. A faint light flashed, and then everything returned to normal.
"Wait, don't fall asleep yet! I'm here!" said the sword spirit dissatisfiedly.
"Huh? You?"
The old man opened his eyes, looked at the sword spirit reluctantly, picked up the paper and pen again, and repeated the previous process.
At the hour of Si on a certain day of a certain year, Yama Palace added a new...
"Is it male or female?"
"Female!"
"Well, Yama Palace has added a new sword cultivator, a female...name?"
"John Doe."
"Which sect's disciple?"
"Rogue cultivator."
"Another casual cultivator...Press your finger prints."
After repeating Lin Han's steps, the sword spirit contentedly put away the parchment scroll and the wooden plaque with the word "Sunflower".
"Hey, I'm a killer too."
The old man rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "Little girl, I advise you not to be too optimistic. Do you know why the Yama Palace was able to gain a foothold in the Xuantian Continent?"
"why?"
"Because the assassination missions of Yama Palace are not something that ordinary people can accomplish. If you want to live longer, you'd better learn to be humble."
"let's go."
Lin Han and the sword spirit were driven out like flies.
Return to the restaurant's side room.
Lin Han opened the parchment and began to read.
The parchment scroll is engraved with a very complicated and somewhat useless talisman array.
The parchment scroll listed hundreds of assassination targets.
Due to the relationship between the talisman array and the spiritual consciousness, one can roughly understand the strength of each target list.
In addition, the above symbol array also provides a service for the owner of the parchment scroll, sharing the location of the mission target in real time.
Information sharing is also one of the characteristics of Yama Hall in winning people's hearts.
Every killer who shares information about the assassination target will receive a certain reward.
As for who has the ability to kill the target, that's up to the capable person.
Lin Han suddenly realized that this was a good idea. No wonder the intelligence network of Yama Palace was so huge.
Many cultivators with low cultivation levels, even if they are unable to assassinate their targets, can still provide useful information to Yama Palace in exchange for cultivation resources.
Looking at Lin Han lost in thought, the sword spirit shook his head and said, "To be honest, you must not choose a target that is too strong. Things are different now. This is the Xuantian Continent."
"Your swordsmanship is powerful, but it's not suitable for assassination because it's too conspicuous and not stealthy enough."
Lin Han was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
The sword spirit said, "Assassination is about using the weak to defeat the strong, such as beheading the enemy leader from a heavy weight as if entering an empty space. Although your swordsmanship is powerful, you don't have this advantage."
Lin Han pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.
He thought of the Night Owl.
Night Owl's swordsmanship is quite elusive, and his swordsmanship does have this flaw.
Although the sword clone is his biggest advantage, it cannot make up for his disadvantage.
"In other words, if I can truly grasp what you said about using the extremely weak to defeat the extremely strong... then, that will be my eleventh sword."
With this idea in mind, Lin Han was no longer in a hurry to carry out the assassination mission, but entered the sea of consciousness and stood in front of the Chaos Mirror.
"Chaos Mirror, can you help me deduce the most bizarre sword technique in the world, where the weakest defeats the strongest?"
Dozens of black smoke drifted out of the Chaos Mirror.
After the black smoke transformed into human form, it waved its sword in front of Lin Han.
Lin Han's eyes flickered as he entered a deep state of enlightenment.
Two days later, he had a flash of enlightenment.
When these shadows swung their swords, they all needed to combine their body movements with sword techniques, and each sword strike was at an incredible angle.
Next, for seven days in a row.
Lin Han was meditating in the sea of consciousness.
Starting from the eighth day, he began to fight with the figures conjured up by the Chaos Mirror. As expected, he was defeated every time.
But each of these black shadows is the master of the most bizarre swordsmanship in Xuantian Continent since ancient times!
However, after repeated failures, Lin Han's swordsmanship began to become erratic.
At this moment, he restrained his aura, and every time he thrust out his sword, a chilling sword light flashed.
No!
Don't let the other party predict...
If you want to assassinate someone, you must be like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
The target must not be aware of it in advance...
The sword light was retracted.
No!
There's too much movement!
This strike of mine must be silent...
As the long sword passed, the sound of breaking wind gradually weakened...
Or not!
Too sharp!
A light layer of black-gray gradually appeared on Lin Han's sword.
……no.
Although I had completely suppressed my presence, I was clearly on the wrong track when it came to lurking silently, or being completely invisible so no one could detect my whereabouts...
Also, what does it mean to defeat the extremely strong with the extremely weak?
What's the reason for this...
Gradually, Lin Han turned into a ghost that appeared and disappeared from time to time, silently and without a sound.
His sword and body movements were incredibly fast...
His body gradually became translucent.
To be more precise, he was attempting to escape into the laws of Heaven by transforming himself into the Dao...
