“We'll interrupt?..”
Everyone took a deep breath, their eyes lit up... but the next second the fuse went out and many sighed. How can they defeat an entire army??
They would, of course. But the reality is that you will have to leave the monastery and run away!
Defeat the Sacred Cult? It is necessary to maintain realism, otherwise they will not only not win, but also completely die.
Lin Yi shook his head.
A small speech could only charge the weak with morale. The others quickly regained their composure, and with it years of disappointment.
His strength was now unknown, no one believed that one person could turn the tide of the battle - especially since he had been missing for three whole years.
Nobody believed in their strength, and this was the main problem.
Lin Yi bit his lip. He is not the sucker that others saw him as, but he is already an almost half-century veteran.
If he were the supreme expert, everyone would believe in him. Now he was half a step from the top, but until the last step is taken, no one will put him on the level of “real” masters.In the eyes of these smart people, he was only trying to fill everyone with hope and boost their morale. Nobody really believed in victory.
Even Master Jingxuan couldn't help but intervene:
“Nephew Lin Yi, there is no point in talking about the impossible. All we can do now is help our students escape.”
She smiled slightly - from the heart.
“Thank you for coming back on time. Now the escape plan will be even more successful.”
“That's right, with Lin Yi, maybe we can save at least half of the upper courtyard!”
“That's for sure, as long as Elder Sister holds back the supreme experts, Linghu and Lin Yi's nephews will be able to open the way for others. They can hold seven semi-supreme experts!”
— How timely, eh! Thanks to Big Brother Lin, we will definitely be able to escape!
“Yeah, now we can save a lot more lives.”
“I was afraid that we would lose almost everyone, but now we can count on acceptable losses.”
Lin Yi didn't say anything.
He was not a fool and understood that there was no point in wasting time and energy on an argument..
We need to prove our strength again in battle. Prove that as he said, so it will be! Prove that the time has come to stop retreating and fight back against the demons!
You have to win this fight alone!
.˙.
Soon, Master Jingxuan ordered everyone to go rest and prepare for a breakthrough. Lin Yi had previously asked to feed Little Jin..
The Hengshan nuns offered food to the feathered dinosaur, trembling with fear. And he stood there as happy as a child.
But over time, they realized that this beast was well brought up and also understood human speech, so soon a whole crowd gathered around and many girls brought him home-cooked dishes, which they fed him directly from their hands..
Laughter and joyful smiles did not appear in Northern Hengshan for three years. The world has already begun to change. Return to the rails that Lin Yi chose for him.
“The older brother is truly something. I just returned and everything has already changed. Have you seen happy people for a long time??”
“What happiness can there be when every day and night you fight demons and lose loved ones? So many sisters and brothers have fallen, who can be happy?”
“Nothing. Their sacrifices allowed us to wait for elder brother Lin Yi, and with him we will definitely win!”
“Yeah, I heard that he never lost a single battle. He even managed to survive the clash with the Purple Dragon King! And if it weren’t for the bald donkeys, he would not only have survived, but would have continued to fight. We probably would have won a long time ago...”
“Yes... Shaolin donkeys are no better than demons!”
“OK. The main thing is that he returned. Moreover, he also brought the Divine Beast with him! It is said that Little Jin is as strong as a supreme expert!”
The Hengshan nuns were chatting among themselves all over the mountain. Hope returned to their eyes.
Lin Yi, silently watching Little Jin accept the offerings and compliments with a smug expression, smiled faintly. Three years passed, and they still believed in him!
Maybe only the very young, who had not yet seen the world and did not understand how terrible the situation was, but they believed in him and therefore in themselves. And in this world there is nothing more important than believing in yourself!
He exhaled and lowered his tense shoulders..
Tomorrow's dawn will be a tough battle..
“Brother Lin Yi,” Linghu Feng walked over. “You're not going to prepare for a fight?”
Lin Yi looked at himself, puzzled, then at his empty belt, and chuckled..
“Sword. Find me a good sword, I lost mine.”
Linghu Feng stared puzzledly at the bow and quiver behind his elder brother's back. He only now realized that Lin Yi did not have a sword with him, but he quickly nodded:
“Yeah, wait a minute! I'll run to Yaoyin, we'll find you the best one!”
He hurriedly walked away, muttering under his breath: “A swordsman without a sword? The battle is already approaching, and he just noticed that there is no sword?..».
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head..
Linghu Feng was right. During these three years, he almost forgot that his main strength was in sword art.
Just because he now has the Sun Arrows technique doesn't mean he has to give up the cold, reliable blade.
Against. Lin Yi always believed that the sword was the basis of martial arts.
Especially when the will of the sword is at your disposal.
Looking back on his past life, he would say that he was improving in sword art, but he found a legendary bow. Yes, the weapon is powerful, but this is not a reason to abandon the class in which you invested all your ability points.
Just a bonus. A tool that allows you to control the battlefield from a great distance.
Soon, Linghu Feng returned and brought a sword of the same level that Lin Yi had before, but this one was called Demon Slayer.
“An appropriate name,” Lin Yi smiled as he looked at the sharp blade.
Just looking at the tip made everything inside go cold.
Satisfied, he put the sword back into its sheath and said with a serious expression on his face:
“Demon Slayer, we will fulfill your destiny together. Hey little brother. Do you think this sword suits me??”
“And who else but you, the greatest demon slayer?” Linghu Feng laughed. “I don’t think anyone in the world has interrupted more than you.”.
“In that case, what do you think about what I said in the hall??”
“Um...” Linghu Feng was unable to answer..
Lin Yi laughed and stroked Little Jing's wing.
“Fine! Tomorrow I will prove that my words were prophetic and remain so!”
“Well...”
Linghu Feng, unable to say anything, silently watched as his elder brother stroked the wing of the divine beast..
He couldn't say that he didn't trust his older brother. And at the same time, he himself did not believe that Lin Yi was capable of turning the tide of the battle alone.
Northern Hengshan is on the verge of destruction. Master Jingxuan herself was about to lay down her life to give her disciples a chance to escape. And he's not even the supreme expert.
Linghu Feng felt guilty. He himself did not notice that during these three years he had lost faith in his older brother.
Maybe it’s because of how many tragedies and cruel facts he had to endure. He could no longer blindly idolize.
.˙.
Slowly the night clouded the sky. Before anyone could prepare, dawn began to break on the horizon..
Having rested overnight, the Hengshan students pulled themselves together.
All the elite from third class and above gathered in one place.
There was no point in gathering the others. The elite will attract the main attention of the demons, and those lagging behind will be killed like cattle. Their only chance to survive is to run away and hide among the residents of nearby towns and villages..
They are also Hengshan seeds. But their task is to accumulate power alone. So that later, when Hengshan calls, we can come together and be reborn like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Master Jingxuan, wearing the armor and carrying the Sect Master's sword, gave the order:
“Went!”
Lin Yi, who was standing a little behind, jumped on Little Jin. One flap of his wings and he flew into the sky.
