Login with GoogleChapter 34: Fighting the Building Foundation Cultivator
From the moment Lin Jiang took action, he never intended to let He Yunwei live. He knew too well about the thoughts of these spoiled people. After suffering such a big loss, how could he willingly end it like this? If Lin Jiang let him go, endless pursuit would await him.
How powerful is their family's influence, how can he withstand it, so he decided to do it, to do it decisively, and kill them all.
"Young master"
The middle-aged man screamed in despair. He was going crazy. He Yunwei was dead, and he couldn't live either. The He family wouldn't spare him, including his family.
Lin Jiang didn't run away, but calmly looked at the middle-aged man, watching him calm down from shock and panic, his eyes turning bloodshot.
"You must die, and your family, your clan, they must all die. Only when you die can my family live."
The middle-aged man said coldly, he no longer expected to survive now, but he wanted to kill Lin Jiang, commit a crime and make amends. Perhaps the He family would spare his family for this.
"Alright, come on, let's fight."
"Kill."
The middle-aged man no longer wondered why Lin Jiang, at Qi Refining Seventh Layer, could challenge him, a Building Foundation cultivator. He summoned a flying sword and attacked Lin Jiang.
"Explosive Element Technique"
Lin Jiang let out a low growl and summoned his flying sword, clashing it against the opponent's sword.
"Bang!"
As a result, the opponent's sword was knocked away, while Lin Jiang's sword shattered into pieces.
Although Lin Jiang's power was strengthened by the Boom Technique and was no weaker than the opponent, their weapons were of different levels. One was a magical tool and the other was a spiritual tool, completely incomparable.
"Die."
"Spiritual talismans!"
The middle-aged man's flying sword came again, and Lin Jiang took out a stack of spiritual talismans, fully activating them. These were first-grade premium attack-type spiritual talismans, equivalent to the attack power of a late stage Qi Refining practitioner.
However, in front of the middle-aged man, they had no effect. They only slowed him down momentarily, giving Lin Jiang a chance to evade. He took out his flying sword once again to face the enemy.
"Chirp~~"
A loud and crisp call sounded, and two Aurora falcons came to assist in the battle. They charged towards the middle-aged man, one on the left and one on the right.
"Go away!"
The middle-aged man shouted loudly, moving even faster than the Aurora falcons. He conjured two bright lights and the Aurora falcon immediately let out a cry, falling from the sky.
"Explosive Element Technique"
Lin Jiang shouted once again, rushing towards the man, his flying sword soaring through the air.
"Boom"
The middle-aged man met Lin Jiang's sword with his own sword, causing Lin Jiang's flying sword to shatter once again.
"Let's see how many more swords you have"
The middle-aged man grinned and attacked again, even though Lin Jiang had used secret techniques to enhance his skills, there was still a gap between their strengths.
"Special magical charms!"
Lin Jiang shouted loudly, taking out a stack of magical charms. He always carried fifty of them for protection, even during the busy celebration in Yunzhong City, where the charms were sold out.
Ten magical charms were activated at the same time, each with different attack methods, making it seem dazzling. The middle-aged man sneered and controlled his flying sword to deflect all the attacks from the magical charms.
"Magical charms!"
Lin Jiang took out another stack of magical charms, which contained ten charms. This was already his thirtieth stack.
"You can't stop me with an endless supply of magical charms."
The middle-aged man coldly snorted, finding it quite daunting to face a stack of ten magical charms at once. To be safe, he decided to use spells to counteract them instead of directly resisting.
"Magical charms!"
Lin Jiang, regardless of everything, played another ten cards and once again, he was completely defeated.
"Spiritual talismans."
The fifth activation of the spiritual talisman triggered not only the spiritual talisman itself but also Qianque Crossbow, which he obtained from Mo Lin.
Qianque Crossbow is a first-grade premium weapon, suitable for close combat. Its arrows are specially modified to have a powerful armor-piercing effect, making it particularly effective against protective qi shields and the like.
"Bang!"
"Is this Qianque Crossbow your trump card?"
The arrow was blocked by a piece of magic shield held by the middle-aged man. The arrowhead deeply pierced into the shield, while the arrow tail continued to shake violently but couldn't go any further.
"No, this is just a disguise. Break it!"
Lin Jiang shouted. The spiritual talisman and Qianque Crossbow were only distractions. His real killer move was the silver needle weapon.
And this set of silver needles is different from the previous one in Anhua City. The previous set was damaged when killing Mo Lin, so Lin Jiang intentionally replaced it with a better quality set.
The silver needles, as thin as cow hair, were incredibly sharp. They could penetrate armor even better than the arrows of the Qianque Crossbow. They directly pierced through the middle-aged man's protective energy shield, with three of the silver needles stabbing into his eyes and forehead.
"Ah..."
His eyes were instantly blinded by the piercing, but the needle aimed at his forehead failed to achieve its goal and was stopped by his skull.
"I will kill you!"
The intense pain from his eyes drove the middle-aged man crazy. He wildly manipulated his flying sword, attempting to strike down Lin Jiang.
"Explosive Element Technique"
"Explosive Element Technique"
Lin Jiang shouted loudly. He knew this was his best hope. For cultivators, eyesight is not extremely important because they possess spiritual awareness. Spiritual awareness can still scan their surroundings and serve as a substitute for vision.
The middle-aged man was very scared and confused because his eyes were in so much pain and he couldn't see anymore. He also panicked because he couldn't see the changes in light, and this was instinctive.
Just wait a little while, and he calmed down. That meant Lin Jiang's time to die was coming.
He used the Explosive Element Technique twice, and Lin Jiang forcefully shattered the opponent's protective energy barrier, severely injuring him. Then, he took out the Qianque Crossbow and shot an arrow through his throat.
Even though he was at the Building Foundation Period stage, he died like this, killed by a cultivator at the Qi Refining Period stage.
Lin Jiang quickly approached and took the storage bag from the Building Foundation Period cultivator, not leaving behind his flying sword or magic shield. He put the injured Aurora falcon into the Spirit Beast Bag and rushed towards Yunzhong City at the fastest speed.
Just fifteen minutes later, a powerful figure landed at the place where they had just fought. That figure looked at the dead bodies on the ground, his face turning pale.
"Who, who dares to kill people from my He family?"
An angry roar spread across the area within a few hundred miles, shocking every passing cultivator.
······
In Yunzhong City, Lin Jiang didn't go home. Instead, he found a random inn to stay in. As soon as he entered, he took out the captured storage bag and started erasing its markings.
Lin Jiang knew that the most valuable thing should be He Yunwei's storage bag, but he didn't dare to touch it. He was afraid that the storage bag might have tracking methods. Cultivators had many ways in this aspect, like Soul Cards. Lin Jiang didn't know about other mysterious methods, so he resisted his greed and forcefully left the storage bag behind.
The others probably didn't have much of a problem, but Lin Jiang remained very cautious. He didn't go home directly. Instead, he chose to stay at this inn.
It took Lin Jiang half an hour to erase the markings on the Building Foundation Period storage bag, while the other two Qi Refining Period storage bags only took three minutes. Lin Jiang's divine sense was stronger than ordinary people's, nourished by the Soul Refining Technique and Soul Nourishing Pill.
Among the three storage bags, there were many things, covering the floor. Lin Jiang didn't have time to count them all. He took about ten thousand spirit stones and put them into his storage bag. Then he collected all the spiritual medicines, ores, and pills, and put them into his bag as well.
Lin Jiang didn't touch the jade slips and such. He put them back into the storage bag. Then he quietly hid the bag under the bed in his inn room. Lin Jiang took off his clothes and other belongings, filled them under the bed, and changed his disguised appearance before quietly leaving the room.
He booked the inn for three days and told the innkeeper not to disturb him anymore. With all these preparations, he should be able to avoid being tracked. If he still couldn't avoid it, then it could only mean that his fate was sealed.
As a habit, he wandered around crowded places in the market to make sure no one was following him. After ensuring his safety, Lin Jiang finally returned home and went straight to bed. Today's battle had exhausted him. He needed a good rest.
As for whether enemies would come while he was asleep, he didn't care anymore. Let whatever happens, happen.
