Chapter 351: Chapter 351: 52: The Annihilation of Qi Gui the Ascetic

Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei had not gone far after they started the chase.

Lin Jing quickly realized that the five-colored flowing light he had left in the body of Qi Gui, the senior monk, had been cleansed.

However, it didn’t matter that the five-colored light was cleansed, because Lin Jing had already figured out Qi Gui’s escape route.

Seeing the direction he fled to, he was headed towards Black Xing Island. Qi Gui probably wanted to continue seeking refuge on Black Xing Island.

There was no other choice, as there were no other islands nearby besides Black Xing Island that could provide shelter from the pursuit of Lin Jing and his companion.

Now that they knew the destination, the task became easier.

Therefore, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei once again flew towards the direction of Black Xing Island.

Along the way, Yan Wanfei, feeling impatient about their speed, couldn’t help but complain:

“Our speed is just too slow. If only Brother Jiu’s Flying Boat were here.”

After speaking, Yan Wanfei looked at the Flawless Sword under Lin Jing’s feet with confusion:

“Brother Lin, how can you be so poor that you don’t even have a decent Magical Treasure Flying Sword? You’re at the Golden Core Stage and still using a top-grade Magic Artifact Flying Sword.”

“Could it be that the Nanming Domain has fallen to such a state?”

Lin Jing turned his head, looked at Yan Wanfei with a helpless expression:

“Haven’t you forgotten? I’ve only recently advanced to the Golden Core Stage, so how could I have a Magical Treasure Flying Sword?”

Yan Wanfei then realized his oversight and scratched his head with embarrassment, saying:

“Look at my memory, I completely forgot about that.”

“It’s a common issue among us from the Green Illusion Demon Ox Clan, I hope Brother Lin will not take offense…”

For Lin Jing, Yan Wanfei’s forgetfulness was anything but surprising…

Without further attention to him, Lin Jing quickened his pace and flew forward.

Since leaving the Nanming Domain, Lin Jing had first ventured on Immortal Crossing Island, and immediately after coming out, he ran into Yan Wanfei.

Following that, he joined forces with Yan Wanfei and others on a mission.

During this period, Lin Jing had no free time at all, and therefore, no time to acquire a Magical Treasure Flying Sword.

Although Lin Jing had plenty of Spirit Stones on hand and could indeed buy a Magic Artifact Flying Sword,

it was nonetheless difficult to find one that he liked, as Lin Jing’s Flying Sword had to be compatible with the Lingyin Yu Jian Jue technique.

For now, the Flawless Sword was the most suitable, and he didn’t wish to change it recklessly.

If possible, Lin Jing still intended to collect some rare metals or ores and then find an Artifact Refiner to enhance the Flawless Sword.

If all else failed, once he reached the second layer of the Divine Fire Triple Realm through cultivation, he could also use the Blood Refinement Method to refashion the Flawless Sword and elevate it to a Magical Treasure level.

……

Before long, the two had flown hundreds of kilometers over the sea.

Yet at this time, they still had not encountered any trace of Qi Gui.

The two then continued forward until a quarter of an hour later when they finally noticed something unusual.

Right below them in the sea, several Demonic Beast fish were violently fighting each other, seemingly competing for something.

The sea breeze carried with it a faint scent of blood.

Apparently, someone injured had passed nearby.

Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei first exchanged a glance, then nodded at each other.

Without even needing to speak, they understood each other’s intention.

Then, the two of them rode the sea breeze toward the source of the bloody scent.

After a while…

The two finally felt intense fluctuations ahead where someone seemed to be fighting.

And so…

Lin Jing immediately expanded his Divine Sense to probe ahead.

With this probe, he indeed discovered Qi Gui.

Qi Gui was currently in a standoff with a Cultivator.

The Cultivator he was facing was someone Lin Jing also recognized.

It was Zhang Jian, who had been trying to purchase ‘Yan Shuishui’ to take her on as his disciple.

It was unclear, however, why the two men were confronting each other.

Moreover…

Lin Jing could clearly sense that Qi Gui’s wounds were much more severe than before, and the black fog shrouding him had also thinned considerably.

Gasping for breath, Qi Gui was fixated on Zhang Jian across from him.

Zhang Jian, on the other hand, was no better off.

His body had several corroded wounds, deep to the bone, which looked terrifying.

His Flying Sword was also dim and lusterless.

Clearly, the two had fought each other to exhaustion.

……

Since Yan Wanfei’s Divine Sense was not strong, not nearly as formidable as Lin Jing’s,

he was still clueless when Lin Jing detected Qi Gui.

After finding Qi Gui, Lin Jing hastily said to Yan Wanfei:

“Found him, let’s go…”

Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Yan Wanfei’s eyes immediately lit up.

“We found him? That’s great…”

“What’s the use of ‘Old Stick’ running so fast if we still managed to find him…”

“Hahaha…”

“Brother Lin, you rest first when we get there; I’ll handle him.”

Upon learning that Qi Gui had been found, Yan Wanfei began to brag again.

Lin Jing then smiled mysteriously and said to Yan Wanfei:

“You should thank someone for being able to find him.”

“Thank someone? Who?” Yan Wanfei was confused by Lin Jing’s words, not comprehending their meaning.

Lin Jing then reminded him:

“Right…”

“You should revert to your original form first, and don’t present yourself as ‘Yan Shuishui’.”

“Why?” Yan Wanfei was very puzzled.

“You’ll understand once we get there…”

“Oh…”

Yan Wanfei had finished speaking and immediately transformed back into his original form.

Afterward, both of them flew toward the location of the battlefield together.

……

When Lin Jing and his companion arrived near the battlefield, Yan Wanfei finally understood what Lin Jing had meant.

No wonder Lin Jing insisted on him reverting to his original form.

It turned out that he had run into the detestable “Scoundrel Zhang”.

However, the wretched state of ‘Scoundrel Zhang’ at this moment did cheer Yan Wanfei up quite a bit.

Qi Gui Shangren’s expression changed from anger to despair upon seeing Lin Jing and his companion.

If it hadn’t been for Zhang Jian, he probably would have run away long ago.

Now, after the recent fight with Zhang Jian, Qi Gui Shangren no longer had the strength to flee.

When Zhang Jian saw Lin Jing, he was also surprised:

“Lin Daoyou, how come you are here?”

Lin Jing pointed at Qi Gui Shangren and said,

“Naturally, it’s for him.”

Zhang Jian immediately realized, and said in surprise,

“Before now, Qi Gui Shangren was injured. I didn’t expect that it was your doing, Lin Daoyou.”

Qi Gui Shangren had already been injured when he encountered him, otherwise Zhang Jian wouldn’t have been able to fight him to mutual destruction.

You should know, Qi Gui Shangren was a mid-Golden Core Stage cultivator, while Zhang Jian was only at the early stage of the Golden Core.

Lin Jing didn’t pay any more attention to Zhang Jian but turned his head to look at Qi Gui Shangren.

Qi Gui Shangren did not pay attention to Lin Jing but turned to look at Yan Wanfei, who held the Bright Silver Spear.

“I never thought I, Qi Gui Shangren, would ever misjudge someone.”

From the Bright Silver Spear in Yan Wanfei’s hand, Qi Gui Shangren guessed that the rugged man in front of him was the ‘Fox Clan little girl’ who had stabbed him a few times.

“Brother Lin, leave him to me.”

Yan Wanfei said as he looked at Qi Gui Shangren.

“All right, make it quick,” replied Lin Jing.

Yan Wanfei nodded and charged with his spear straight ahead.

Qi Gui Shangren did the same, knowing he couldn’t escape. He put forth all his strength to face Yan Wanfei.

……

Soon, the fight concluded, and Qi Gui Shangren completely vanished into smoke and dust.

Yan Wanfei was then collecting the spoils left by Qi Gui Shangren.

A moment later, he finished collecting them.

Yan Wanfei trotted over to Lin Jing.

“Brother Lin, how did I do? I may not be as good as you, but I’m not far off, right?”

“……” Facing the self-love of this ox, Lin Jing could only respond with silence.

Next, Lin Jing pointed at Zhang Jian and asked,

“What do you plan to do with this one?”

Lin Jing’s words made Zhang Jian’s heart tremble.

Now severely wounded, if Lin Jing and his companion harbored any ill will towards him at this moment, he wouldn’t even have a chance to resist.

Yan Wanfei also looked toward Zhang Jian.

Yan Wanfei now had the appearance of a rugged man.

Probably Zhang Jian could never imagine that this rugged man was the Fox Clan girl he was obsessing over.

Yan Wanfei narrowed his eyes and eyed Zhang Jian for a long while before sighing.

“Ah…”

“Let it go, he doesn’t harbor any ill intentions. We’ll let him off this time.”

“Let’s go, so as not to keep Brother Jiu and the others waiting,” Yan Wanfei said to Lin Jing afterward.

Lin Jing nodded, and was about to leave with Yan Wanfei.

At that moment, Zhang Jian, already severely injured, disregarded his own wounds and hurriedly called out to Lin Jing.

“Lin Daoyou, if you are here, where is Yan Shuishui? Could it be that you’ve already sold her off?”

Lin Jing was immediately rendered speechless.

This man was indeed persistent…

At this time, Yan Wanfei had a face full of black lines and transmitted to Lin Jing,

“I feel like punching him again…”

“Looking at his condition, he might meet his maker with just one punch from you,” Lin Jing quipped in response.

“Let it be…”

“I’ll leave him to you, I’m going ahead. If I stay any longer, I really might not be able to resist punching him.”

Having said that, Yan Wanfei immediately left the place.

Lin Jing gave Zhang Jian a glance and then spoke,

“Don’t worry yourself about this matter; you should take care of yourself.”

Having said that, Lin Jing flew away on his sword.

……

Several hours later, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei arrived on a deserted small island.

This was the place where Lin Jing and Lu Youjiu had agreed to meet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this time, Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers hadn’t arrived yet.

On the island, it was just Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei.

Yan Wanfei, like a curious baby, constantly bombarded Lin Jing with questions:

“Brother Lin, just tell me…”

“How did you kill that third-layer Golden Core cultivator so quickly…”

“I had only just finished my sneak attack, and you had already reduced him to ashes.”

Lin Jing was being harassed to the point of headache.

Helpless.

He could only sigh and tell Yan Wanfei the real situation.
