Chapter 53: Paper-Cutting, Shepherding!
"So what if there are a hundred thousand cultivators?
With the strength of the entire clan, we can kill at least a third of the Qi Refinement cultivators.
Do you really think that this mob has the courage to fight to the death with you? "
"If that's the case, the Honglin Clan won't be able to leave Rainbow Mountain."
Lin Ran said angrily.
The Honglin Clan remained silent. No one retorted. It was just as Lin Ran had said.
If the entire clan had really done everything they could to make those cultivators pay the price at the beginning, things would have turned out differently.
Things wouldn't have escalated to the point where they were today.
Lin Zhongba patted Lin Ran, indicating for her to stop talking.
"Alright, Ran 'er, Lin Hongtu isn't wrong. He's not strong enough. He's the head of the clan, so it's safer to do this.
"Of course, you're not wrong either. If the younger generation loses their courage, the clan's backbone will be broken."
"Old man, since both of them aren't wrong, why don't you tell us who's wrong?!"
The array on Rainbow Mountain opened, and a group of eighteen people strutted out of Rainbow Mountain arrogantly.
The leader of the group, a boorish man with a large saber, laughed mockingly.
He was even carrying a young and beautiful human girl in his hand.
Only Renhuai County could raise such a beautiful girl in the surrounding hundred miles.
The boorish man was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Beside him were two old men, one fat and one skinny. They were also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
The cultivators in the surrounding area were attracted by the situation.
When they saw the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun come out, they looked at Lin Zhongba and Lin Ran with pity.
These two fellows were going to be in trouble for insulting each other in front of others.
Lin Zhongba laughed and looked at the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun.
"The young one isn't wrong, the big one isn't wrong.
Of course it's us old men's fault.
"We can't protect them well. Fortunately, it's not too late now."
The boorish man's smile froze.
"Old thing, from your tone, you seem to be very strong!"
"Boom!"
With that, the boorish man swung his saber at Lin Zhongba.
His murderous aura condensed into a long saber that was a hundred feet long. Its aura spread across the surrounding hundred miles.
Lin Hongtu took a step forward, ready to block the attack for Lin Zhongba.
A hand silently appeared on Lin Hongtu's shoulder. At the same time, Lin Zhongba's gratified voice rang out.
"My old bones can still move. I can still protect you juniors."
Lin Hongtu's expression stiffened, and there was a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
The moment Lin Zhongba's hand touched him, the spiritual power in his body seemed to solidify instantly. His body was directly fixed in place, unable to move.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Zhongba took a step forward and stood in front of the crowd.
His expression remained unchanged as he looked at the descending saber.
Raising his hand, a pair of scissors appeared in his hand, and he cut the saber lightly.
"Crack!"
The next moment, something that left everyone dumbfounded occurred.
It was clearly an ordinary pair of scissors, but without any warning, the long saber directly broke into two halves from the middle.
Lin Ran looked at the surprised expressions of the people around him and smiled.
"These guys really haven't seen the world!"
Paper Cut Technique!
He had used it in the duel between Lin Zhongba and Lin Xunxian.
It was an extremely unreasonable ability.
No matter what it was, as long as it didn't exceed the upper limit of this ability, it could be cut in half.
What was even more exaggerated was that according to his grandfather, this paper-cut technique was not even considered a beginner.
If he really mastered it, he could cut everything in the world with a single thought, including space, cultivation, spirit root, and even lifespan.
Ignoring the shock of the people around him, Lin Zhongba's hands didn't stop moving.
He casually took out a piece of paper, and in a flash, a small dog was folded out.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Under the incredulous gazes of the cultivators of Renhuai County, a yellow dog was folded out and barked at the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun.
"Baa!"
After each bark, there was a sheep's bleat.
After 15 bleats, the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun disappeared from the Rainbow Mountain.
The three boorish men were left in a daze, and behind them, there were lambs that had just turned one month old.
All the cultivators of Renhuai County fell silent at this moment.
"Damn it, what kind of Dharma spell is this!?"
After a long time, an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator finally said with a face full of fear.
As he spoke, he quickly retreated and looked warily at Lin Zhongba, who was standing outside Rainbow Mountain with a peaceful expression on his face.
The other cultivators also reacted at this moment.
In the next instant, all the cultivators within dozens of kilometers of the Rainbow Mountain began to retreat frantically.
They looked at Lin Zhongba in horror.
The scene just now was too strange. Every time the yellow dog transformed from the paper barked, it would turn into a yellow dog.
After each bark, one of the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun was turned into a lamb without any resistance.
That kind of despair, fear, and powerlessness in their eyes made the surrounding cultivators' scalps tingle.
Most of them weren't afraid of real swords and spears.
However, this kind of thing that was clearly beyond their comprehension was enough to frighten them.
"Old … Old man, what kind of demonic spell did you use just now!?"
On the Rainbow Mountain, the three boorish men reacted. Layers of spiritual power defensive spells were frantically added to their bodies as if they didn't need any Dharmic powers.
After stacking up to 100 layers, the three of them finally felt a sense of security.
After doing all this, the boorish man looked at Lin Zhongba in horror.
Lin Zhongba lowered his head and patted the yellow dog's head. The latter happily wagged its tail.
"Fellow Daoist, we offended you just now. How about this? You turn my brothers back, and the Eighteen Bandits of Yanyun will immediately withdraw from the Rainbow Mountain.
We'll return this spiritual mountain to you. Also, we'll double the compensation for the losses in the process.
What do you think, Fellow Daoist? "
The fat old man next to the boorish man smiled apologetically.
This old man's methods were too strange. Just now, he tried dozens of methods to break the spell on his brothers behind him.
In the end, when his Dharmic powers entered the lambs' bodies, there was no difference at all.
It was as if his Foundation Establishment brothers had really turned into ordinary lambs.
"This ability is called the Sheep Herding Spell!"
Lin Zhongba didn't seem to hear it. He slowly raised his head and answered with a smile.
"Since it's the Sheep Herding Spell, it naturally needs lambs."
"However, the sins on the three of you are too heavy. It's a little too easy for you to be lambs."
