Chapter 349:
Outside the Jiang family’s mountain gate in Zhongzhou
Yang Luo looked at Lin Jiang in disbelief. She didn’t expect someone to carry so many spiritual talismans with them. Usually, cultivators carry around twenty or thirty spare talismans, at most a couple hundred. But Lin Jiang had at least three or four hundred, and he could continuously take out more.
This person is not ordinary, after all, spiritual talismans may have good offensive power, fast activation, and save spiritual energy, but they are not very flexible. When cultivators move at high speeds, they waste a lot. Furthermore, they are valuable, so people usually don’t carry many.
Especially for high-level cultivators, they carry more auxiliary talismans, like Teleportation Symbols, for example.
"You’re out of spiritual talismans, right? Hahaha, but I still have some."
Lin Jiang saw that Yang Luo couldn’t produce any more magical charms and he was overjoyed. The remaining magical charms continuously released their power, like pouring rain, surrounding Yang Luo and causing a fiery attack.
Yang Luo couldn’t do anything but resist. Although she was still powerful, she had lost her previous confidence. She needed to use her defensive treasures.
"Burning Lamp"
"Sword Manual, One Sword Shatters the Sky"
After using all the magical charms, Lin Jiang unleashed his ultimate attack once again. It was a powerful move that could defeat any opponent easily, without needing any other tricks.Lin Jiang and Yang Luo had exhausted their spiritual energy in their previous battle. They relied on potions to recover, but Lin Jiang recovered slightly more than Yang Luo, giving him an advantage.
"These were supposed to be my lifespans."
Yang Luo felt extremely distressed when she saw Lin Jiang casually throwing away his lifespans like garbage. These lifespans were supposed to be hers, and such precious things being wasted like this felt like a crime.
She couldn’t tolerate it!
"Sky Eye"
In her anger, Yang Luo opened the vertical eye on her forehead and a beam of golden light shot out.
"Boom"
The beam of golden light was incredibly fast. Lin Jiang didn’t have time to react before his shield shattered and the golden light struck him. It pierced through his three layers of armor.
Lin Jiang was sent flying, but managed to regain his balance. He saw Yang Luo coming for another attack and decided to take a stand. He clenched his teeth, faced the danger head on, and clashed with Yang Luo once again.
"Bang"
After more than ten rounds, the two of them separated and both started bleeding.
Yang Luo looked at her own blood, feeling somewhat incredulous that she had actually been injured by an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
"I’m paying attention now, I’m not planning to capture you alive anymore, I’ve decided to kill you, to die under my true strength, it’s your honor."
"Bragging"
"You will be the first person to see all of my true abilities, you should feel honored."
"Bragging even more?"
Lin Jiang sneered, while taking a potion and activating secret techniques to prepare for another battle. By now, he had already burned more than ten thousand years of lifespan. If it were an ordinary person, even Tao Achieving would be exhausted.
Yang Luo sneered at Lin Jiang, her long hair floating without wind. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, emitting a terrifying aura. Lin Jiang felt a chill in his heart.
Oh my, it’s not bragging.
Lin Jiang quickly changed his tactics, a shield appeared to prevent any attacks while he took out a sixth-rank spiritual talisman. Lin Jiang could activate a sixth-rank spiritual talisman, but it couldn’t be done instantly. With Lin Jiang’s spiritual consciousness, it would take about fifteen minutes to erase the seal on the spiritual talisman. However, if the sixth-rank spiritual talisman was activated, Yang Luo would definitely struggle to withstand it.
"Boom"
However, before Yang Luo could take action, a loud sound suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a large amount of starlight falling like snowflakes.
"Road fell"
"Tao Achieving has fallen"
"Who is it?"
Everyone saw the falling starlight. Even the fighting parties stopped and looked up. Many people still didn’t know the situation of Tao Achieving’s battlefield.
"Hahaha…"
Until Yang Xi’s cheerful laughter came, the people from Holy Heavenly Sect erupted in joyous laughter.
"It’s the voice of the Patriarch"
"We won, our Holy Heavenly Sect won"
"Hahaha, finally won"
People laugh, people cry. The people from Holy Heavenly Sect are laughing, while the people from Spiritual Moon Sect are crying a lot, as if their father had died, looking terrified around them.
Then they discovered even more terrifying things, because the members of the Spiritual Moon Sect’s camp who have achieved Void, and those who have undergone Soul Changing, have already escaped. They knew the situation on the Tao Achieving battlefield and ran away.
"Kill them all, disciples of Spiritual Moon Sect, leave no one alive."
A voice came, and the morale-boosted Holy Heavenly Sect raised their swords and swords once again, while the Spiritual Moon Sect side simply collapsed. It’s not that they had lost their fighting power, but they had lost their will to fight.
Even the core disciples of the Spiritual Moon Sect who wanted to fight again were useless. Those vassals, guest disciples, and allies had already fled. Some of them had even previously accepted the Holy Heavenly Sect’s goodwill, but they hadn’t agreed to surrender at that time. Now, they were attacking the disciples of the Spiritual Moon Sect, directly challenging them.
"Let’s go."
Lin Jiang released the Small Shadiao, which was hiding in the Spirit Beast Bag. With a call, the Small Shadiao spread its wings and took off.
"Disciples of Holy Heavenly Sect, kill him. You must kill him."
Yang Luo roared angrily and chased after them personally, while the Nascent Soul and Soul Changing cultivators from Holy Heavenly Sect in the surroundings constantly made their moves, obstructing or restraining, trying to keep Lin Jiang behind.
"Get out of here!"
Lin Jiang shouted loudly, making Small Shadiao be cautious of those Soul Changing, Soul Changing is to avoid, while Nascent Soul is to collide with, thinking everyone is Yang Luo.
"Ying…"
Small Shadiao also let out a mournful cry, this is his special ability, able to attack the enemy’s soul. At the same time, when Small Shadiao flapped its wings, it also brought up countless wind blades.
"One sword to shatter the sky."
A Holy Heavenly Sect Nascent Soul approached from the side, Lin Jiang swung his sword, and that person shattered directly. They couldn’t even block Lin Jiang’s attack.
This is where Lin Jiang’s confidence in taking risks comes from. Ordinary Nascent Souls, under his fifty times more power, can’t withstand a single attack. Only Yang Luo, this monster, made Lin Jiang explode more than ten thousand years of lifespan without dying.
Lin Jiang quickly managed to leave the battlefield, but there were still many pursuers behind him. Yang Luo and the two Soul Changing cultivators followed closely, unwilling to let him go.
"Father, which direction should we run?"
"Go south, to the big city."
"Dad, that’s not a good idea. If we get blocked, we’ll be in big trouble."
"So where do you suggest we go?"
"I’ll go around in a circle, to the east, to the Wilderness."
"That works too."
Lin Jiang nodded. They couldn’t just kill people in the Cultivation Grand City without consequences. If they were ignored, they would easily be expelled. Once expelled, they would have to keep running. If they got blocked, it would be game over.
"What the heck, Small Shadiao! What are you doing?"
Small Shadiao went in a circle, but Lin Jiang quickly realized that Small Shadiao was about to crash into a circle where Soul Changing cultivators were fighting. Lin Jiang was stunned.
"Yunyue, come up quickly!"
Small Shadiao didn’t reply to Lin Jiang, but instead sent a message to someone fighting ahead. Who else could it be if not Xu Yunyue?
At that moment, Lin Jiang was completely speechless.
Fortunately, Small Shadiao wasn’t foolish. It didn’t rush into the battle but instead circled around the outskirts. Xu Yunyue saw Small Shadiao and was delighted. She used a move to scatter the enemies and threw numerous spiritual talismans before retreating.
"Small Shadiao, the pursuers have increased from three to six. You handle it."
"Dad, do you believe in light?"
"I believe in you, you big silly ghost."
"Today, I’ll make you see the light, Dad. Yunyue, sit tight."
Small Shadiao said, and as soon as the words fell, its momentum suddenly changed. Its speed increased several times, as if it had truly become a beam of light, disappearing in front of the pursuers.
"Yang Luo, is this an Aurora falcon? How can it be so fast? Is this still a fourth-level demonic beast?"
Among the pursuers, there were members of the Yang family. They said to Yang Luo. This is too incredible.
"This is the Aurora falcon, a beast pet that has awakened its ancestral bloodline. It has used a secret technique similar to the burning of life force."
"Um…"
"They won’t be able to run far, we’ll send someone to chase after them."
"No, Yang Luo, both Void Achieving and Soul Changing from the Spiritual Moon Sect have escaped. We must pursue and kill the others. We can’t abandon everyone because of Xu Yunyue alone."
"Then I will go and chase them myself."
"Yang Luo, that’s Xu Yunyue, a peak Soul Changing cultivator. You are no match for her."
The nearby Soul Changing was startled. If it were that Nascent Soul kid, they wouldn’t worry, but no matter how powerful Yang Luo was, it would be impossible for her to kill a peak Soul Changing cultivator at the early stage of Nascent Soul realm.
"I have my father’s Life Talisman on me, so I’m not afraid."
Yang Luo shook her head. So what if Soul Changing is at its peak? I still have my Life Talisman.
"You guys go after the disciples of the Spiritual Moon Sect, I’ll accompany Yang Luo to chase them down. Also, tell my uncle Yang Xiong to be ready to help. Yang Luo is in charge of everything."
After giving it some thought, the person decided on a compromise. They would accompany Yang Luo on the chase and arrange for someone to meet them later. Everything should be fine.
"Small Shadiao, stop using your secret technique and open your mouth."
Lin Jiang also noticed that Small Shadiao was acting unusually. Small Shadiao was giving it his all.
"Diao Diao, stop and let’s run on our own."
Xu Yunyue was deeply moved. In life and death situations, true feelings are revealed. She used to never believe in unwavering love, but now she believed. Those men were not as valuable as a bird.
"Okay."
Small Shadiao didn’t try to be strong. In just a short while, he had already burned almost three hundred years of his lifespan. He wasn’t like Lin Jiang, who didn’t care about lifespan. These years of lifespan were precious to him.
"Senior Xu, it’s not safe here, let’s keep going."
Lin Jiang glanced back and saw no sign of pursuers, but he felt Yang Luo wouldn’t give up easily, so he chose to continue running. He was familiar with the idea of running for his life and knew it had to be done professionally.
