Starting from iron smelting

Chapter 123 God-killing Technique

The moonlight fell on the desolate battlefield, and the silver light reflected Lu Xiuyuan's tired and heavy figure. The long sword in his hand had lost its former sharpness, and the sticky blood of the Silver Moon Wolf still remained on the tip of the sword. After a thrilling battle, Lu Xiuyuan finally killed the Silver Moon Wolf, but the joy of victory was like covered by frost, unable to dispel the sorrow in his heart.

He collapsed on the ground, as if his body was drained of energy, unable to move. The body of the Silver Moon Wolf in front of him gradually cooled down, but the bloody scene was like a brand engraved in his heart. However, what made him even more sad was the fact that he had lost his good friend. Wen Lingyue, the junior sister who had fought side by side with him and faced the storm together, actually fell in front of him at the last moment.

Lu Xiuyuan recalled every detail of his acquaintance with Wen Lingyue. Those days of laughter and fighting side by side seemed like yesterday. They had traveled the world together and faced countless difficulties and challenges together. Wen Lingyue was always so kind and innocent. Her smile always brought endless warmth and strength to Lu Xiuyuan. However, such a beautiful life was lost because of the betrayal of Fairy Yinyue at the moment when the Beiya Cave Secret Realm was about to end.

Fairy Yin Yue, the elder they admired and the leader of their Ming Yue Palace, actually killed her own junior sister for her own selfish desires. Lu Xiuyuan could not understand such behavior. He realized with great pain that the most sinister people in the world are not demons and monsters, but those who are covered in human skin but have a heart as vicious as snakes and scorpions.

Wen Lingyue's death was a heavy blow to Lu Xiuyuan. He could not accept this fact, and could not forgive the Silver Moon Fairy for what she had done. With trembling hands, he cremated the body of the Silver Moon Wolf, erasing the trace of the animal that had brought him endless fear and pain. Then, he picked up Wen Lingyue's body and walked away step by step.

He found a secluded place and started digging and filling the pit. His hands were rubbed by the soil and bled, but he didn't care. He just wanted to build a resting place for Wen Lingyue so that she could rest in peace in another world. This was the last thing he could do for her.

When the tomb was finally built, Lu Xiuyuan was exhausted. He knelt in front of the tomb, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently. He prayed that Wen Lingyue could rest in peace and that she could live happily in the other world. His tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the soil, forming small puddles.

As the night deepened, the moonlight fell on the grave like water. Lu Xiuyuan stood up, took a deep look at the grave, and then turned away. He knew that he could no longer be immersed in grief. He had to cheer up and move forward for Wen Lingyue and for those dreams that he had not yet realized.

On the way out, Lu Xiuyuan's heart was filled with endless sorrow and longing. He recalled the good times he had spent with Wen Lingyue, and his heart was filled with gratitude and guilt. He was grateful for the warmth and support Wen Lingyue had given him, but also felt guilty that he could not protect her and let her live a happy life.

After a fierce battle, Lu Xiuyuan's body seemed to be hollowed out, and every cell was telling of fatigue and weakness. However, his eyes were extremely firm, which was a kind of remembrance of his friends and a firmness for the unknown future. He stood up with difficulty, his body swaying, but every step was extremely steady.

He walked to Wen Lingyue's side, his heart filled with grief. He gently laid her flat on the ground, covered her body with clothes, and let her leave quietly. He knew that he had lost a partner who had fought side by side with him, a friend who had experienced the same hardships together. He did not take Wen Lingyue's storage bag, nor did he search for the treasures inside. Because he knew that these treasures no longer had any meaning to the deceased Wen Lingyue.

He gently placed the storage bag into the grave, as if to protect Wen Lingyue's final dignity. He silently said in his heart: "Lingyue, rest in peace. Let your storage bag accompany you and be your last protection."

Lu Xiuyuan stood up and looked ahead with empty eyes. He didn't know where he would go next, nor where the road ahead would lead. But he knew that he couldn't just give up, as he still had an unfinished mission and an unrealized dream.

He walked aimlessly for a very long distance. Although his body was tired, his heart was full of strength. He knew he couldn't fall down. He wanted to avenge Wen Lingyue and seek justice for her.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiuyuan arrived in front of a dilapidated temple. This temple had been abandoned for a long time, with mosses all over the walls and broken tiles on the roof. But Lu Xiuyuan felt that there was an inexplicable attraction here, as if something was calling him.

He walked into the temple, and a stale smell of dust hit his nose. He looked around and saw an incense burner in the center of the temple. He walked to the incense burner, gently brushed off the dust on the incense burner, then lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.

"Lingyue, I'll burn some incense for you." Lu Xiuyuan whispered, "I hope your soul can rest in peace in heaven."

However, just as he finished speaking, the incense burner suddenly cracked and a powerful energy burst out from it. Lu Xiuyuan was shocked by the energy and took a few steps back. He looked at everything in front of him in surprise. He saw the fragments of the incense burner flying in the air and gradually condensed into an entity. This entity became clearer and clearer, and it turned out to be a secret book.

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he saw. He had heard many legends about the precious secret book hidden in the secret realm, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to see such a secret book with his own eyes. He was filled with excitement and curiosity. He wanted to know where this secret book came from and what secrets it hid.

He reached out to touch the secret book, but found that it seemed to have a strong suction force, sucking him tightly. He tried to break free from the suction, but found that he could not move at all. At this moment, the secret book suddenly emitted a dazzling light, wrapping Lu Xiuyuan in it.

Lu Xiuyuan only felt a powerful force surge into his body, as if his body was reshaped by this force. His pain and fatigue all disappeared at this moment, replaced by a sense of power he had never felt before.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the center of the temple. The secret book lay quietly in his hands. He opened the cover of the secret book and saw three big characters "Slaying God Technique" written on it. He was shocked. Could this be the legendary Slaying God Technique?

He didn't have time to think about it, because the secret book began to emit a stronger light. He only felt a strong suction force sucking him in again, and then the secret book flew out. He quickly got up to chase it, but the speed of the secret book was getting faster and faster, as if it was deliberately avoiding his pursuit.

Lu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up. He knew that this secret book meant a lot to him. It was not only a symbol of strength, but also a kind of explanation to Wen Lingyue. He couldn't just give up like that. He had to catch up with this secret book.
