Chapter 306 The Second Life and Death Talisman
As the sky gradually darkened, the shadows in the dense forest flickered and moved, and the little nun was dazzled.

Both sides are good at light Kung Fu, their moves are extremely fast and graceful, like a black and a white moth, fighting endlessly. Fortunately, the man in black robe has firmly gained the upper hand.

"What a freak! At such a young age, he has learned such advanced martial arts?"

Tian Boguang became more and more frightened as the fight went on. After thirty rounds of fighting, he tried to use his quick sword several times, but Zhang Yu found his weaknesses and interrupted him accurately. He could only passively take the beatings from the lightning-fast purple sword.

"The wind is blowing up the sand!"

He took two steps back, inserted the sharp knife into the ground, and thrust it upwards suddenly, using his internal energy to wrap around the mud and strike his opponent in the face.

The Kuangfeng Sword Technique is a skill from the Western Regions.

If this move was used in an arid desert area, the fine sand would be like rain, making it extremely difficult to defend against and would be quite tricky to deal with. However, this was in the south, where the soil was compacted, and only five or six clods of earth were picked out by the long knife.

"Jade enters Tianchi!"

The long sword was like a dragon, circling in the air, turning several times, smashing the clods of earth while approaching Tian Boguang behind him. Purple light flickered, and the sword pierced his shoulder. Blood splattered, instantly dyeing his clothes red. The sword energy penetrated into his right arm, and Tian Boguang's right arm holding the knife trembled constantly.

"The flying crane pecks the toad!"

Zhang Yu then used another move of Huashan sword technique. The purple sword was as fast as lightning, tapping the spine of the knife. Tian Boguang's palm was numb, and under the interweaving of two kinds of pain, the five fingers pressing on the handle of the knife couldn't help but loosen. The purple sword seized the opportunity and lifted it from bottom to top.

"Clang!"

The long sword flew out of his hand, flew into the air, and then fell down.

Zhang Yu stretched out his left hand, caught the hilt of the knife, and put it on Tian Boguang's neck. The outcome was already decided, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"how?"

Tian Boguang was not convinced and glanced at Zhang Yu. If he could use his Kuangfeng sword technique, this guy might not be his opponent. At least he couldn't beat him with his sword technique alone. It was just that the opponent could prevent him from using the true power of his sword technique, which was also his ability.

He was a bachelor, and sighed, "I lost!"

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "Traveling alone for thousands of miles, with a swift sword and strong wind, it's just like this."

Tian Boguang snorted coldly.

"Are you not convinced?"

"Of course I'm not convinced, this is unfair!"

"How is it unfair?"

"You know my name, Tian Boguang, and my martial arts skills, but I know nothing about you. I just underestimated you!"

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do to convince you?"

Seeing that there was hope, Tian Boguang said quickly, "If you want to convince me, come and fight me again."

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Tian Boguang, do you think I'm a naive kid who just started to explore the martial arts world?"

"Your life and death are in my hands now, why would I fight with you?

"Besides, you are a notorious flower thief, how can you talk about fairness?"

"When you relied on your great martial arts skills to climb over the wall and enter the house to take away the essence of those women, did you treat them fairly?"

Tian Boguang thought to himself, what he left for those women was enough to remember their lifelong happiness, how could it not be fair? However, looking at the sword on his neck, he instantly lost his temper. The other party was highly skilled in martial arts and had rich experience in the martial arts world. It would be difficult for him to escape.

He remembered that he was going to die in the dense forest, silently, without feeling or awareness, and no one would know, and a feeling of fear suddenly surged up over him.

"Master... Master, how are you going to deal with me?"

Zhang Yu said coldly: "A scum of the martial arts world like you, a scum of the world, of course it is not a pity to die!"

When Tian Boguang heard the word "death", his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down. He was originally a greedy man who loved wine and sex and was afraid of death. There were so many fun things in the world, but he hadn't enjoyed them all yet.

"Please spare my life, hero. I...I don't want to die."

"Why should I forgive you?"

Tian Boguang knelt down and begged, "As long as you forgive me this time, I will go through fire and water for you in the future."

Zhang Yu looked at him with a smile, shook his head slightly, and raised the blade in his hand. Tian Boguang felt suffocated, as if there was a chain around his neck, the other end of which was held in the hands of the Black and White Impermanence and was gradually tightening.

"Little Master, monks have the virtue of loving life, can you help me beg for mercy?"

"I didn't mean to offend you just now. I am also devoted to Buddhism and want to discuss Buddhism in depth with you, young master..."

Tian Boguang glanced at the bald little nun. She had already climbed up from the ground. Seeing that the villain was subdued, there was some fear in her eyes, but she still limped over.

"Thank you for your help, benefactor."

Yilin walked up to Zhang Yu and thanked him for saving her life. She was just naive, not stupid, so she naturally didn't believe any nonsense about discussing Buddhism.

Who would take off his robe and shoes when discussing Buddhism?
Yi Lin couldn't bear it after all, so she begged, "Donor, although this man has committed a heinous crime, but... considering that God has mercy on life, can you spare his life and find another way to make him atone for his sins?"

There is no shortage of bad people in the world, some of whom kill and burn people and harm innocent people.

Some of them robbed houses and took advantage of the situation.

Some open shady shops and do illegal food business.

Among the villains, Tian Boguang is also one of the lower-class ones.

It's not unfair to kill such a fool, but Zhang Yu is in need of manpower right now, and a master in the acquired realm is not a trivial person. He would be a leader-level figure in the martial arts world.

Tian Boguang's light Kung Fu and swordsmanship are quite good, and he is also one of the stronger ones among the second-rate masters. In comparison, he is only slightly inferior to Mu Gaofeng.

"For the sake of my young master, I will spare your life."

Tian Boguang was overjoyed and was about to thank him when he suddenly heard Zhang Yu change the subject.

"But you have to agree to two conditions."

The opponent had not yet removed the long knife that was pressed against his neck.

"Please tell me, my hero. Tian Boguang will lead your horse and whip you from now on, even if it means death."

Zhang Yu chuckled, not knowing how much he believed it.

"First, no matter what school or sect you belong to, or who your master is, you can only obey me from now on. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I tell you to chase a dog, you can't catch a chicken. Do you understand?"

Tian Boguang agreed readily and cheerfully.

"second."

"You can't pick flowers anymore."

Tian Boguang sneered in his heart, when you are under someone's eaves, you have to bow your head. I agreed for the time being. After I get out of this, the world will be wide open to me and no one can control me. At worst, I can just leave the Central Plains and go back to the Western Regions to play with sand. I don't believe the other party will dare to chase me.

"I promise, next time I pick flowers, I will chop off a few ounces of gristle from my crotch and give it to you to feed your dog!"

Zhang Yu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"Not only can you not pick flowers yourself, but from now on, if there is a flower-picking thief in the world, you must take his head. If you fail, all his sins will be put on your head!"

"Oh, I'm going to..."

Tian Boguang was immediately furious. This was too domineering. He had always bullied others, and today he met a real domineering person. But it didn't matter. He had never intended to keep his promise from the beginning anyway.

"Just do as the hero says!"

Tian Boguang looked at the man in black robe, only to see that he was holding a yellow gourd in his right hand and pouring a mouthful of wine into his mouth, as if celebrating his victory. He laughed in his heart, thinking that this man was too naive, speaking so seriously, and really thought he could restrain himself with words.

"Sir, can I go now?"

Zhang Yu nodded, suddenly raised his hand and waved, and blue light flew out.

"Hidden weapon?" It came suddenly, at an extremely fast speed, and was so close that it was impossible to avoid.

Tian Boguang only felt a chill in his chest, as if ice had melted, and it was extremely cold.

As time went by, the chill did not gradually dissipate, but became even more biting...

"Ah!"

The screams echoed through the forest.

The female monkey on the ancient vine quickly covered the little gray and white monkey's ears, quickly jumped back into the tree hole and hid.

“Mercy…Mercy…”

"Asshole, I won't let you go..."

"...Kill me, little master, please be kind and kill me quickly..."

Tian Boguang's face was ferocious as he rolled on the ground. It felt as if there were tens of thousands of ants biting his skin all the time, penetrating deep into his flesh, tendons, and bone marrow, in a reciprocating cycle, just like threading a needle. His body, being served by the two huge needles of ice and fire, had almost become a sieve.

"He...what happened to him?"

Yi Lin was so scared that she hid behind Zhang Yu. Looking at Tian Boguang, she felt as if she was in a frying pan hell and was in extreme pain.

"He's atoning for his sins."

Zhang Yu stood by with a smile and waited for half a minute. Seeing that it was really dark, he stepped forward and injected a stream of true qi into Tian Boguang's Xuanji acupoint, temporarily suppressing the attack of the life and death talisman.

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "How do you feel?"

Tian Boguang lay face up on the muddy ground, like a dehydrated fish, with snot and tears streaming down his face, his face pale, and he twitched from time to time. The pain was so deep in his bones that it had become muscle memory.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"It's not a magic trick, but a good medicine to cure the disease. You are sick and need treatment!"

Zhang Yu glanced at the little nun standing in the distance chanting "Amitabha" and laughed softly.

"We are just getting started. If there is no antidote..."

"When this disease strikes, it gets worse day by day. The itching and severe pain last for 9981 days, then gradually subsides. After 81 days, it gets worse again, and the cycle repeats itself without end."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that I can neither live nor die."

Zhang Yu had a faint smile on his face, and his voice was deep and a little hoarse, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, but his calm tone was filled with a biting chill.

Tian Boguang let out a long sigh, knowing that he was completely doomed this time and had met his nemesis.

"My lord, I am convinced!"

"Really convinced?"

"From now on, I... Tian Boguang, will be willing to serve you at your service."

"You are a smart man."

Zhang Yu thrust his long knife down suddenly, stabbing it into the soft soil next to Tian Boguang's ear. He was so frightened that he jumped up immediately, thinking that this moody man in black robe was going to take his life immediately.

"You're not pretending anymore?"

"Nothing can be hidden from the hero."

Tian Boguang smiled bitterly. He felt as if he was seen through by this young man and he couldn't hide his thoughts at all.

"I have something to tell you."

"Please give me your orders, hero!"

Zhang Yu glanced at the little nun in the distance and whispered.

"You are good at Qinggong. Find out for me which gangs have come to the vicinity of Hengshan City. Remember, I want to know what's going on in public, and I want to know even more about what's going on in secret!"

Tian Boguang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, hero. I will find out the truth."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then get out of here!"

Tian Boguang stood there, refusing to leave: "Hero, antidote?"

Zhang Yu sneered. The Beiming Qi he injected into Tian Boguang's body could only temporarily suppress the Life and Death Talisman. If he wanted it to be effective in the long run, he would have to refine a special antidote. As for the method of removing it, he had not yet fully mastered it.

"Two days later, at Hengshan Qunyuyuan, whether there is an antidote by then will depend on the value of what you give."

The smile on Tian Boguang's face froze again. It seemed that the other party really treated him like a beast of burden. However, thinking of the excruciating pain he had just felt, he could not even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

What is the life and death talisman?
Making people stuck between life and death, unable to live and unable to die, shows one's wisdom.

In the past, the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect were scattered all over the martial arts world, and they could all become the leaders of top forces. They had studied this system of controlling people's minds to the extreme.

Zhang Yu looked at Tian Boguang's back, which quickly disappeared into the forest. After all, two days was not a long time. He picked up the Xuanqi sword box standing on the ground, looked at the little nun, and said with a smile: "Little Master, it's getting dark, there are wolves in the mountains, come with me on the road?"

"Thank you, donor."

Yi Lin had no objection. When they first met, Zhang Yu donated a large sum of money to save the turtle. When they met again today, he drove away the villain and saved her life. In her heart, Zhang Yu was already an excellent person, a good man who could be compared with her master and uncle.

The half red sun in the sky had completely set, the crescent moon had not yet appeared, and the light between the mountains and forests quickly became dim.

Zhang Yu was walking in front. Perhaps the fight just now had scared away the birds and beasts, making the forest quiet. However, he had a bad premonition, as if a pair of eyes were hidden in the dense forest, staring at him.

"Go faster!"

Zhang Yu looked back at the little nun, took out the spiritual bead and held it in his hand. Under the night sky, the bead emitted a soft and clear light. It was not bright, but at least it gave people a direction and made them feel more at ease.

"it is good!"

Yi Lin responded and followed behind, quickening her pace, trying to catch up with Zhang Yu.

After walking for half an hour, the two finally got out of Nanshan. In front of them lay the Wulong River, which was no more than four or five meters wide and had a wooden floating bridge.

This place is still about twenty miles away from the county town, but the town of Baitang on the other side of the river is a good place to stay temporarily.

"what!"

Yi Lin walked onto the shaky wooden bridge and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Be careful."

Zhang Yu turned around and helped the little nun up, but saw that her face was pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she was enduring great pain. He looked up and down and saw that Yi Lin's right foot was trembling slightly and was obviously swollen.

He sighed: "Little Master, you sprained your foot, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Yi Lin lowered her head: "I...I'm fine."

"A sprained ankle is nothing. You forced yourself to walk more than ten miles on the mountain road. The blood clots should have blocked your meridians. If this continues, your right foot will have to be amputated."

Yi Lin sniffed. She was already in severe pain, and when she heard that her leg was going to be amputated, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Then...what should we do? Can we avoid amputating the foot?"

Zhang Yu walked up to her, turned around, and carried her on his back without giving her any explanation.

"You can't walk anymore. Go to town first and find a place to sit down. I'll use my Qi to massage your acupoints. Then have a good sleep and you should be fine tomorrow."

"Sleep...sleep?"

Yi Lin lay on Zhang Yu's back. Although she had only a vague awareness of matters between men and women, she felt that this posture was a little too intimate. She was also a Buddhist disciple, but she acquiesced out of trust. However, she was a little surprised when she heard the word "sleep".

"Could it be possible that sleeping can heal illness?"
