"Is it you?"
When Chen Lin flew out of the spirit boat, he saw a figure emerging from the void. It was the gray-robed old man in the Xianling Tavern.
"I wonder what the meaning of you hiding here furtively, fellow Taoist?"
The appearance of this person here made Chen Lin's face gloomy, and at the same time he prepared for battle.
He had no connection with the other party, and he didn't even know his last name. If he wasn't seeking revenge, then he could only kill people and steal treasures. It was probably because he showed off his wealth in the Fairy Tavern that made the other party covetous.
This person has reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and it is not known whether he has condensed the realm of the primordial spirit. He should not be underestimated.
"Humph, a mere junior in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm dares to challenge me, then I can only..."
The old man snorted coldly, his words full of contempt, but before he could finish, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning flashed down from the sky!
The early bird catches the worm. As soon as the other party showed hostility, Chen Lin attacked boldly.
Facing such an opponent, a slight chance can mean the difference between life and death. Regardless of whether the opponent has condensed his spiritual realm, it is best not to let him use it.
Facing the sky full of lightning, the old man didn't care at all. He shot out a stream of light to protect his whole body. The lightning seemed to have encountered some natural enemy and all of it bypassed him.
"Haha, you really don't know how to live or die..."
Seeing this, the old man sneered, but he was halfway through his words when a golden sword light came towards him. Before he could react, another strange golden energy came in an instant and hit his body.
These two attacks made the old man's face change slightly. He dared not be careless anymore. His robe fluttered like a balloon. Then a ball of black light flashed, and the whole person seemed to have changed his body shape, shifting his position, making the attacks of the bone knife and the soul-destroying finger all miss.
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes. This man's way of dealing with things was beyond his expectations.
The three fatal moves were easily resolved by the opponent, which showed that this person was much stronger than him. It seemed that he was going to have a tough battle.
Suddenly, a sense of life-and-death crisis arose, and there was a sharp pain in the center of my eyebrows.
Chen Lin's face changed, and he put the basalt shield in front of him without hesitation.
This is a warning given by the innate ability!
At the same time, the old man opened his mouth and a small black snake swayed its body and shot out, and in a flash it came to Chen Lin's face.
"bite!"
With a crisp sound, the small black snake was swept away by the basalt shield, and it turned out to be a black rapier!
Chen Lin broke out in a cold sweat.
This rapier was extremely fast, even faster than his Soul-Destroying Finger. If it weren't for the warning from his innate ability, he would not have been able to react in time.
Seeing the dense cracks on the basalt shield, if it were stabbed, the head would explode immediately, and even a golden body could not block it!
The old man was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect that his fatal blow could be taken by Chen Lin.
Then, he urged his soul to activate the soul realm.
But just as the thought came to his mind, a faint golden light flashed again, interrupting his spell. He could only dodge first, and the black light reappeared on his body, and he moved his body.
But what he didn't expect was that before his body could stabilize, a sword light shot up into the sky from behind Chen Lin, and another figure flashed out!
"Two people?"
The old man's face changed slightly, thinking that his plan of ambush was leaked and the other party had made preparations in advance.
If this is the case, then there can't be just two people. I'm afraid there is a powerful person hidden on the spirit boat.
This thought distracted him for a moment, and he lost the opportunity to use the technique of teleportation. In desperation, he flipped his wrist, and a black scale on the back of his hand fell off and flew out, then enlarged and blocked the sword light.
However, Xiaocao used the immortal sword technique in this sword, which was so powerful that the scales were broken after only causing the sword light to pause for a moment. The remaining power of the sword light continued, and it slashed on the old man's body with a stern sword intent!
No matter how tough the body of a powerful god-transforming warrior was, it could not withstand the sword light of Xiaocao and was instantly split into two.
Chen Lin's face lit up with joy. Xiao Cao was indeed his best trump card, and he could always win the game with one strike of his sword.
But he soon discovered that no blood spurted out of the two halves of the old man's body, but faded away, and finally a broken statue fell to the ground.
"careful!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin immediately reminded Xiaocao, then he fled away from the spot.
Almost at the same time, the old man appeared, controlling the black snake sword to stab the place where Chen Lin left. Seeing that the attack was avoided by Chen Lin again, anger flashed on his face, and the power of his soul was stimulated. The space within a radius of hundreds of feet around him instantly showed abnormal fluctuations and became dark.
He finally found an opportunity and activated his soul realm!
However, before he could find Chen Lin, he saw a dark golden lightning flash beside him. The lightning seemed to carry the power of heaven, which made his heart tremble. For a moment, he could not muster the will to resist. Then the lightning suddenly rose up and swallowed him up.
The space fluctuations that had just arisen calmed down instantly, and Chen Lin's figure appeared not far away.
He didn't care whether the old man was killed by his Thunder God Sword or not, he just fired several five thunders to plow the entire area, then he used the Soul-Destroying Finger and frantically tapped the old man's body which had turned pitch black. After making sure that the other party's soul was destroyed, he took out a foundation-building puppet and controlled it to go forward to check the situation.
After one stick of incense.
Chen Lin sat on the spirit boat and continued to move towards his destination.
The monks behind were all silent, looking at Chen Lin's back with fear in their eyes.
They all saw the battle just now. The means used were simply horrific. Any attack from this side could kill them eight or ten times. And although their cultivation was low, they had lived for so long and their experience was not low. The old man in the gray robe was none other than the late stage of the spirit transformation priest of the Tan Ji Trading Company in the city, the Black Snake True Lord!
Lord Black Snake was a well-known figure in Baiyu City, a late-stage domain-level God Transformation expert, and his strength was ranked in the top ten among the God Transformation Lords in the city. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Senior Chen as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and he himself was unharmed.
Of course, they were just frightened and not afraid of being killed to silence them. Not to mention that they didn't have many years to live, the possibility of coming out alive after entering the ancient ruins was very slim, and it would be the same whether they died early or late.
Others were shocked, but Zhou Shiwu was surprised.
The stronger Chen Lin became, the happier he was.
He is now the other party's contracted servant. They prosper and suffer together. Only when the other party becomes stronger can he get more benefits and have the hope of forming a golden elixir!
Zhou Shiwu secretly glanced at the figures of Xiaocao and Fat Tiger. He could see that Fat Tiger was a puppet, but with a high spirituality. However, he didn't know what kind of existence this girl was, and whether she was a contracted slave like him.
The reason why he had such an idea was that he did not sense any fluctuation of magic power from the other party, only a sharp sword aura, which did not seem like that of a normal cultivator.
But he didn't dare to look at it any longer and immediately looked away.
If the other person is the master's woman, it would be disrespectful to look at him like this, which would make the master unhappy, and his hope of becoming the master's disciple would be even slimmer.
The spirit boat shuttled quickly through the wilderness.
Chen Lin stood at the bow, concentrating and being on guard while recalling the battle that had just taken place.
The identity of the old man has been confirmed from the old cultivator. He is a patron of a business in Baiyu City. He is very famous and has amazing strength.
The combat experience is even richer.
It stands to reason that he cannot be the opponent of the other party, after all, the other party is in the late stage of transformation of spirit, and has also condensed the realm of the spirit, and his methods are endless. But for some reason, the other party was stunned for a moment when Xiaocao appeared, giving Xiaocao an opportunity to kill the other party.
Although he didn't actually kill him, he consumed the opponent's substitute treasure, allowing the next Thor's Sword attack to be successful.
Otherwise, with the opponent's strange body movements, he would be able to dodge Xiaocao's attack. No matter how powerful Xiaocao's sword intent was, it would be in vain if he couldn't hit it.
He was ready to activate the Sword Immortal Scroll, but he didn't expect the opponent to seek his own death and get distracted during the battle. It seemed that he didn't have enough combat experience.
This saved him the opportunity to summon the sword immortal.
Chen Lin's thoughts were scattered.
From this battle, he discovered that among cultivators of the same level, victory or defeat was greatly influenced by combat experience, which could make up for the gap in cultivation and means to a certain extent.
If the opponent had opened his soul realm at the first moment, he would not have been so passive and was suppressed by him. Then his attention was distracted and he revealed his flaws. Finally, he hid the Thor's Sword in a position where his body left, and the opponent did not notice it and approached him at close range instead of using the Black Snake Rapier to attack from a distance. Otherwise, the Thor's Sword would not have been able to succeed in the sneak attack.
If there had been no loophole at all, he would not have been so relaxed. If the Sword Immortal Scroll was not as powerful as the Pig Demon God said, he might have been the one to die.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.
The winner has been decided, there is no point in thinking too much.
What we need to consider now is the possible follow-up impact of this incident.
After thinking it over again and again, I feel that it is not a big problem.
These old cultivators have to enter the ruins of the ancient country, and it is still unknown whether they can come out alive. Zhou Shiwu is bound by a soul contract and it is impossible for him to betray him, so the information will not be leaked.
Even if the news got out, Tan's Trading Company was not a big force and did not have any powerful Void Refining experts.
What he needs to worry about now is whether the other party has accomplices and whether they will surround and kill him on the way forward.
Chen Lin's worries did not come true.
The journey was smooth, no accidents happened, and even no high-level monsters were encountered.
He passed by several evil places, but he avoided them all in advance. After all, he had prepared a strategy in advance and was very familiar with the dangerous places on the route. The encounter with the Black Snake Master was purely an accident.
The spirit boat's stealth effect is activated, allowing it to travel quickly through the wilderness.
In the distance, strong energy fluctuations appeared, and sections of broken city walls and building ruins appeared in Chen Lin's sight. The space above kept twisting and shaking, accompanied by hazy images.
We have arrived at the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Sanyu!
