You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 352 - 5. Innate Divine Power 2

"So fast??"

Xiahong Yuanyu's expression changed instantly, confirming that his opponent had used a Killing Skill, and considering the speed, it was likely the Ultimate Killing Skill!

Is he insane?

Even the most basic moves among Killing Skills, without the support of Martial Arts True Strength and the Essence of heaven and earth, cause significant damage to oneself.

Not to mention the Ultimate Killing Skill, he probably wouldn't live long after using it!

"Madman…"

Left with no choice, Xiahong Yuanyu gritted his teeth and activated his Killing Skill as well, disregarding the damage from forcefully exceeding his limits, and charged towards that astonishingly fast figure.

However, the figure did not confront him directly but dodged him with a flicker, and in a flash, stole an Iron Embryo Bow from one of the archers, then swiftly moved past the sides of four archers.

A line of cold light swept past.

"Putz!"

The heads of the four archers suddenly flew up, blood spewing forth.

Only then did the figure stop.

It turned out to be Lin Yue, whose appearance had changed after absorbing the masses; his face was somewhat pale. On the bowstring of the Iron Embryo Bow he held, a Blood Pearl was slowly trickling down.

He had just used the bowstring to decapitate the heads of four men at an incredibly fast speed!

Xiahong Yuanyu was stunned.

"Roar!" The pack of wolves continued to charge at him, biting fiercely. He gritted his teeth, sliced down a white wolf with his sword, dodged the rest of the pack, and rushed towards Lin Yue.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

At this moment, Lin Yue had already pulled out five prepared arrows, placing them on the bowstring and aiming at Xiahong Yuanyu, releasing the bow!

Five arrows were shot!

This customized Iron Embryo Bow, with its heavy force and formidable power, could seriously injure a top Jianghu Martial Artist even with just one arrow at close range, let alone five arrows released simultaneously.

Even though Xiahong Yuanyu activated one of the simpler moves within his Killing Skill, his long sword could only block four arrows, and the fifth arrow pierced through his thigh!

"You're dead for sure."

Lin Yue sneered, continuously stepping back while pulling out another five arrows and aiming once again at Xiahong Yuanyu to shoot.

—These were the arrows previously shot into the cave.

Under the second barrage of five arrows, Xiahong Yuanyu, with one leg nearly useless, had no way to dodge; two fine steel arrows hit him this time, one penetrating his right shoulder, the other, his abdomen.

"Roar!"

As darkness clouded his vision, a white wolf fiercely bit into the arm that held his sword. Amidst excruciating pain, although he turned around and killed the white wolf with a palm strike, his sword clanged to the ground.

At that moment—

"Whoosh!"

He felt a chill in his chest and discovered an arrow had pierced his heart!

With all his strength, Xiahong Yuanyu painfully twisted around, staring fixedly at Lin Yue, blood gushing from his mouth as he weakly opened it:

"You…"

Before he could finish, another arrow pierced through his skull!

The scent of blood filled the air, leaving only Lin Yue alive on the scene, along with the heavily diminished pack of wolves.

The fearsome white wolves, undeterred by death, again began their mad charge towards him.

Lin Yue knew this pack was easily provoked by the smell of blood, turning more frenzied with each kill; one had to either escape or defeat them right from the start or slaughter them all.

Luckily, the remaining white wolves were not numerous; he casually threw some Flying Knives, picked up Xiahong Yuanyu's long sword, and quickly slaughtered the wolves completely.

"Phew… Just arrived and already severely injured, and the consumption was massive too…"

Lin Yue leaned weakly against a tree, sitting down before taking out the honey pills and dry food he had prepared in advance and began to eat quickly.

Storage treasures were unusable here, unable to absorb the Essence of heaven and earth, leaving only food for sustenance.

Moreover, Spirit Pills and other such items could not be brought in.

He could only rely on these honey pills, which replenished a substantial amount of sugar, and carefully formulated compact dry food—he had brought a package of food and miscellaneous items with him.

Fortunately, he had learned Martial Arts Secret Skills that enhanced stomach motility and the body's absorption and digestion, so his recovery was significantly fast.

"Now only the injuries caused by using 'Fire Spreading' remain, and they are indeed severe…"

Lin Yue sighed inwardly.

There was no choice, as everyone was mortal; if he hadn't been harsh, there was no chance of defeating those five.

A mortal body employing the Ultimate Killing Skill, and erupting twice in a row, the damage was staggering; it was only because of his high realm that he was able to minimize the self-inflicted injuries from 'Fire Spreading'. Otherwise, he could have died on the spot!

Even so, his organs were injured, and his muscles and bones throbbed painfully.

"Muscle and bone strains are still manageable, but the injuries to the internal organs are likely… Hmm?"

Lin Yue suddenly felt a faint warm stream lingering slowly around the injured areas, repairing his damage at a barely perceptible speed.

This feeling was similar to being injured before his powers were suppressed, only thousands of times slower.

"This is… the Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability?"

Lin Yue quickly realized, his eyes brightened, "So it still has some effect?"

Clearly, although the Innate Divine Power of 'Nine Death Selfless' had been suppressed, it hadn't completely disappeared but was still somewhat effective.

In the past, such injuries would have healed in a few breaths.

Now, it was obviously much slower.

But…

After all, it was an Innate Divine Power that had transformed twice!

Even with just a slight, negligible effect, it was still very useful.

Lin Yue couldn't help but smile.

He had heard about this before coming, but only now had it been confirmed.

He wondered why all extraordinary powers were completely suppressed, yet some residue of the Innate Divine Power remained?
