Chapter 135 Merlin
"So, if you were at the same cultivation level as Yang Jian without using supernatural powers or weapons, could you defeat him?"
Wang Mian raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking at Nezha, who was beaming with pride. Nezha replied without hesitation:
"Of course... I can't beat... Erlang Shen, the number one war god in Heaven. Don't even mention me, even the monkey would be confused..."
When Nezha saw Ling Yunxiao's smiling face, he immediately fell silent. Sure enough, the smile didn't disappear; it just moved on.
"No, if I fight him without using my supernatural powers or carrying any weapons, wouldn't that be bullying a child...?"
Yang Jian then delivered a finishing blow, shattering Nezha's smile. He silently raised his head, noticing numerous corpse beasts roaming the surrounding Time Maze. Immediately, he grabbed his Fire-Tipped Spear, mounted his Wind-Fire Wheels, summoned his Three Heads and Six Arms, and charged out. His stance suggested he was treating the corpse beasts as if they were three people to be beaten.
A split second before Nezha rushed into the time maze, Ling Yunxiao swiftly imbued everyone's weapons with Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire. Then, he summoned a bit of the power of reincarnation and used the Killing Incantation, casually tossing it into the horde of corpse beasts.
A corpse beast had its chest easily cut open. Although it did not die immediately, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire remained on its chest and slowly began to burn.
After Ling Yunxiao discovered that the "killing" technique was effective, he immediately looked at Nezha.
"Third Prince, come back first! I'll handle these corpse beasts."
Nezha turned around and glanced at Ling Yunxiao in surprise. Then he saw Ling Yunxiao release a sky full of karmic fire red lotus blades, which fell on the corpses in front of him.
Nezha returned to the carriage and looked at the king with a smile.
"Let's leave this to Ling Yunxiao and go back to the car to continue playing cards?"
"Forget it! Not only are the three of us poor, but the main problem is that none of our divine powers are really suited for peaceful play..."
"That's true..."
Yang Jian nodded seriously, agreeing with Wang Mian's words. How could these three play? One could pause time and shuffle the cards at will, one could see and switch cards, and the other had six hands—who knew how many cards he was hiding in his hand?
Ling Yunxiao stood rooted to the spot, his lips twitching uncontrollably. What had he been thinking? Why had he even bothered playing along with them…?
The three of them had already returned to the car. Wang Mian was still controlling the time maze, his entire mental energy focused around the car, making him even busier than Ling Yunxiao. Yang Jian and Nezha, on the other hand, had nothing to do and were even thinking of going back to see what Lin Qiye was up to.
As darkness fell, Ling Yunxiao, seeing that there was no possibility of any new zombie beasts appearing outside, slowly opened the car door.
"You guys are inhuman! You've just left me standing here all this time? Can't you come out and switch shifts with me, and help me kill a few zombie monsters?"
"what?"
"We noticed you hadn't called us out, so we thought you didn't need to rest..."
"Yes! We thought you didn't want us to bother you."
The three people in the car were still half-asleep, their eyes full of innocence...
Ling Yunxiao quietly sat in the passenger seat, silently beginning to question the meaning of life.
He summoned the Book of Life and Death and looked at the profits from his busy afternoon.
"231 Corpse Beasts were killed, and 231 million Reincarnation Power points were obtained."
The word "kill" and the word "heal" each consume 500 points of reincarnation power.
Remaining Reincarnation Power: 4900 million points.
Ling Yunxiao blinked. "So now point deductions are rounded up like this? Consuming 500 points results in a direct deduction of 10,000? Book of Life and Death, if you're any more corrupt, you could be an accountant in northern Myanmar!"
"Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat, Slow Goat, Soft Goat, Red Wolf, Gray Wolf, don't underestimate me just because I'm a goat..."
Ling Yunxiao's phone rang for a while before he realized it was his own. He was a little confused, and suddenly remembered that when they were eating in Hainan, Wang Mian and Xuanwo seemed to be sitting together. He guessed that was when they changed his ringtone.
"Hey?"
When the call connected, Ling Yunxiao realized that there shouldn't be a signal here.
"Brother Ling, this is Qi Ye. Jiang Er helped me get in touch with you. Where are you now? I need to talk to you urgently."
“King Garuda is near the Wind Priest’s house. If you’re really in a hurry, just go out and ask it to bring you here. It will be able to find me.”
After Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what Lin Qiye could want from him.
In less than ten minutes, Garuda King appeared above the car, and Lin Qiye landed alone in front of Ling Yunxiao.
"Brother Ling, as you probably know, besides Nyx, I am also an agent of several gods. Now the great magician Merlin has also appeared, and I hope you can resurrect him."
After Lin Qiye finished speaking, Merlin, whose treatment progress was 100%, appeared in front of Ling Yunxiao.
Ling Yunxiao did not expose Lin Qiye's lame excuse, but instead looked at Merlin's somewhat messy, dry, and sparse hair.
"Great magician, why do you look so haggard? And what happened to your hair?"
"Sigh...it's nothing, just a little bit of weathering..."
Merlin sighed and glanced at Lin Qiye. Lin Qiye had already turned his head to Yang Jian, and the two brothers went to talk to each other, completely unaware of Merlin's resentful gaze. As for whether he did it on purpose, only he knew.
Ling Yunxiao naturally wouldn't be stingy with this bit of reincarnation power; he summoned the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death without hesitation.
"Living towards death"
"Reincarnation and longing for home, past and present lives"
As the phantom of Fengdu City appeared, the four judges made their appearance.
A moment later, the four judges smiled and clasped their hands in a salute to Ling Yunxiao before turning and disappearing into the night along with the illusory image of Fengdu City.
"Praise be to the great ancient god of Xia, this is simply an incredible miracle..."
"Uh... As a legendary mage, it's quite unexpected to hear such praise from you."
Ling Yunxiao smiled slightly, humble and polite.
"To be honest, this is our first meeting. You are wonderful, strong, upright, and kind. You resurrected me, but I have nothing to give you in return. This little transformation magic is a gift for you."
As Merlin spoke, a silver light emanated from his fingertips, and a small silver ball gently landed in Ling Yunxiao's outstretched palm. After Ling Yunxiao thanked him with a smile, the small silver ball was completely absorbed by him, and some knowledge about magic gradually appeared in his mind. Soon, he learned this transformation magic.
“Young friend Ling Yunxiao, this transformation magic is just a small token of my gratitude. Once I’ve finished some things, I’ll give you the proper gift. And if you have any requests, feel free to ask me anytime, and Merlin will do his best to fulfill them.”
"You're too kind. This world is in such a state of disrepair, and it's all thanks to our joint efforts that it's being patched up. Saying thank you would be too formal. Besides, you're Qiye's mentor, and I've always treated him like my own younger brother. It's nothing more than the least I could do for him."
Ling Yunxiao smiled. His words were not only for Merlin to hear, but also for the three people remaining in Lin Qiye's ward.
