One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

The first chapter of "The True Scripture of Ba Lie" begins by stating the fundamentals of cultivation: "Everything in heaven and earth has its own momentum. Only by mastering the power of nature can you control everything." Ye Lin repeated this sentence silently, as if he could feel the vague power from it.

"This is not just a physical exercise, but also a spiritual training." He said softly, as if trying to convince himself.

Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the bed in the hotel, closed his eyes, and concentrated on reading the secret book in his hand.

Countless points of light suddenly began to flash around his body, and these points of light gradually gathered into rays of light, forming a halo surrounding him.

Ye Lin's aura began to change, becoming calm and solemn, and he seemed to be integrated with the whole world.

The next second, Ye Lin's mind was in a trance, as if he was drawn into another world by an invisible force. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place - a world full of magma.

The hot magma was boiling and roiling, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur. Everything around was fiery red, giving people a feeling of oppression and tension.

"Where is this? Could this be the 'spiritual world' mentioned in the 'Ba Lie Sutra'?" Ye Lin muttered to himself in confusion.

Suddenly, a deafening roar interrupted his thoughts. Ye Lin looked up and saw a huge minotaur, covered in scarlet, appearing not far away. Holding a massive axe, its eyes were filled with ferocity and brutality. The minotaur's figure burned like flames as it rushed towards Ye Lin, swinging its axe.

"Not good!" Ye Lin reacted quickly. He knew he couldn't just fight head-on and had to find an opportunity to counterattack. He quickly dodged sideways, avoiding a fatal attack from the minotaur. Then, Ye Lin used the surrounding environment to launch a guerrilla war, trying to find the opponent's weaknesses.

The Minotaur's strength was extremely strong, and each blow was like thunder, shaking the ground. However, Ye Lin was not to be outdone. While dodging, he gradually became familiar with this strange magma world, looking for opportunities to exploit.

After several fierce confrontations, Ye Lin noticed that every time the Minotaur swung his axe, there would always be a momentary flaw in his body.

Finally, when an opportunity presented itself, Ye Lin decisively struck, gathering all his strength and striking the minotaur in the chest. While the blow didn't quite hit the vital spot, it was enough to frustrate the minotaur. The minotaur roared in anger, but it also realized that this seemingly frail opponent was no easy task.

"How dare you hurt me?!" The minotaur was furious and continued to attack Ye Lin by swinging his giant axe.

"Don't be impatient, we've just started!" Ye Lin said while panting. He had gradually mastered the rhythm of the battle.

The minotaur charged again, but Ye Lin was already prepared. At the crucial moment, he employed a technique he'd learned from the "Ba Lie Sutra"—using the minotaur's force to counterattack. Just as the minotaur's axe was about to strike him, he suddenly ducked under the minotaur, using its force to bounce back and deliver a powerful punch to the minotaur's abdomen.

"Huh! You're really a troublesome kid." The Minotaur said breathlessly.

"Mutually." Ye Lin responded with a smile, but there was no expression of relaxation on his face.

Just as the two were confronting each other again, the Minotaur suddenly showed a sly smile.

The minotaur's words were like an invisible whip, hitting Ye Lin's heart.

"If you can defeat me completely,"

The Minotaur said in a deep voice, "Only then can one truly comprehend the profound meaning of the Tyrant Sutra."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minotaur swung the giant axe in his hand again and chopped at Ye Lin. The giant axe drew a streak of blazing fire in the air, as if even the air was cut open.

"Little Golden Dragon is not here, I have to rely on myself!" A trace of anxiety flashed through Ye Lin's mind, but he quickly adjusted his state, clenched his fists, and an indomitable fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

Seeing the giant axe approaching, Ye Lin did not retreat, but instead stepped forward. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he dodged the fatal blow with the steps of the Exorcism Sword Technique.

"Hey! That's all you can do? It's not even good enough!"

The Minotaur laughed loudly and then changed his attack strategy. He swung his giant axe and streams of magma suddenly burst out from the ground. The magma was like a red mad snake, winding towards Ye Lin.

Faced with this sudden change in the situation, Ye Lin's eyes became even more solemn. He lightly tapped his feet, and his body suddenly rose several feet high, tumbling lightly in mid-air, avoiding the surging magma.

Then, he took advantage of the momentum and dived down, attacking the enemy on the ground from the air. His long sword was like a dragon emerging from the abyss, going straight for the opponent's vital points!

But obviously the Minotaur is not such an easy character to deal with.

Seeing this, he stepped forward without showing any weakness and stomped his feet on the ground. Suddenly, new columns of magma erupted, forming a natural defense circle.

"Think you can beat me like this? Dream on!" the Minotaur roared.

At this moment, sparks were already flying between the two of them, and the scene was extremely intense.

Ye Lin understood that he could not rely solely on brute force to fight on. Only a flexible and changeable strategy was the key to victory.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, another round of shock waves blew the two of them several meters away.

After the smoke and dust cleared, both men were seen covered in wounds. Despite this, the Minotaur continued to grin and said:

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so powerful... But this is just the beginning! The real battle has just begun!"

"Hmph, then let's continue!" Ye Lin gritted his teeth and stood up to respond, his tone full of determination.

The Minotaur raised the blood-stained axe in his hand and looked at the young man standing opposite him with a piercing gaze. "Well, let us see your full strength."

"call……"

The Minotaur took a deep breath, and the air around him seemed to be swept away by his breath, forming a brief vacuum.

Then, it began to chant an ancient and obscure spell.

As each syllable rolled out of his lips, the already extremely hot environment around him seemed to become even hotter, and even the ground began to tremble slightly.

Soon, a mysterious rune array composed of red light appeared beside the Minotaur.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and his muscles were tense. He knew that the real test was about to come.

"No matter what trick you use, I will defeat you!"

He secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

Sure enough, before he could make any further preparations, the giant axe made of magma attacked him with unimaginable power.

At the same time, an invisible but extremely hot breath was approaching rapidly - this was directly summoning the magma flowing deep underground to attack!

Almost at the same time, a white light burst out from Ye Lin's body. It was the pure Yang Qi that came from internal cultivation and could resist any evil forces from invading his body! At this moment, it tightly surrounded him, like an indestructible barrier, protecting Ye Lin from any harm.
