Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Chapter 155: Snatching the Treasure (1/2)
chapter 458: chapter 155: snatching the treasure
after killing that puppet guild cultivator, lin jing once again burst forth at extreme speed and left the person’s cave.
he immediately rushed towards a nearby mountain peak where the puppet guild leader resided…
the mountain peak where the puppet guild leader resided was extremely easy to recognize as the tallest mountain peak in this area.
before long, lin jing ascended the mountain peak where the puppet guild leader resided and arrived at the entrance to the puppet guild leader’s cave.
this entrance to the puppet guild leader’s cave was also protected by a separate fourth rank defensive array.
and even those blood corpses were kept out by the array.
in this devouring spirit blood realm, due to the absence of spiritual energy, one could only rely on spirit stones to provide the spiritual power needed for the operation of a formation.
this formation consumed a considerable number of spirit stones overnight, at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands of medium grade spirit stones.
moreover.
that was just the consumption needed to maintain the formation.
if the formation were attacked, it would probably consume even more fiercely; tens of thousands of spirit stones might not even be sufficient.
keep in mind that this was only the consumption for one night; over a longer period, the cost would be even greater…
the puppet guild leader was indeed quite generous.
……
at this moment, lin jing was flying at top speed. behind him followed the blood corpses he had encountered in those two caves, amounting to as many as nine.
when lin jing arrived at the puppet guild leader’s cave, those five blood corpses, which had originally been blocked outside the array, also charged towards lin jing upon detecting him.
all together, there were fourteen blood corpses and three soul devouring yin spirits.
lin jing was not worried about the blood corpses; the only thing giving him a headache was those soul devouring yin spirits.
one of these soul devouring yin spirits alone wasn’t much of a threat.
but these three together…
when their divine sense attacks overlapped and amplified each other’s effects, they could unleash even greater power.
these divine sense attacks were so powerful that even lin jing felt a faint pain in his mind and struggled to withstand it.
seeing the blood corpses gathering, lin jing dared not be careless any longer and directly summoned the system to enter the system space.
after entering the system space, lin jing immediately took out a yellow dragon elixir and swallowed it.
having expended a lot of spiritual power in killing those two people and facing the blood corpses, lin jing took this opportunity to replenish his energy.
this time he was facing the puppet guild leader, and lin jing needed to be fully prepared.
after taking the yellow dragon elixir and recovering for a while in the system space, lin jing once again summoned the system and activated the fixed point teleportation feature.
due to the existence of that array, lin jing needed to use fixed point teleportation to enter inside the array.
otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to break through the array from the outside.
naturally, lin jing would not do such a thankless task.
it would be much better to teleport directly inside, kill the puppet guild leader, and solve the problem once and for all.
after entering observation mode, lin jing selected the inside of the cave and initiated fixed point teleportation.
as lin jing chose to teleport, the system notification sound also rang out at this time.
“system notification: fixed point teleportation successful, deducting harvest points: 1 point.”
“current harvest points remaining: 2082 harvest points.”
…
…
clothed in a grey robe, the puppet guild leader looked extremely mysterious. after using fixed point teleportation, lin jing appeared directly behind the puppet guild leader.
immediately, lin jing threw a punch and attacked the puppet guild leader.
because lin jing’s appearance was so sudden, it wasn’t until lin jing’s fist landed that the puppet guild leader became aware.
however, even though lin jing’s fist had struck, he felt that something was off.
the punch had not landed on his body but on the grey robe.
where lin jing’s fist made contact with the robe, it did not shatter but instead flipped over, turning into a massive pocket, attempting to envelop lin jing within.
it seemed that this grey robe was a magical treasure of no low grade.
seeing this, lin jing quickly retreated.
at the same time, he drew out the ling yin flawless sword and stabbed towards the grey robe, trying to cut it apart.
as lin jing retreated, he also saw the puppet guild leader roll forward, moving out of lin jing’s attack range.
the ling yin flawless sword swiftly stabbed forward and soon made contact with the robe.
however, the normally extremely sharp ling yin flawless sword could not leave even a mark on the grey robe.
and the robe directly wrapped up the ling yin flawless sword, rendering it immobile.
quickly…
lin jing lost control over the ling yin flawless sword, and his connection to it vanished.
lin jing was shocked, not expecting the grey robe to be so formidable that it could sever the link between a magical treasure and its owner.
seeing that lin jing could no longer control the ling yin flawless sword,
the puppet guild leader reached out with his hand, and the robe returned to his grasp.
this time, bringing with it the ling yin flawless sword.
only then did lin jing look up and get a clear view of the puppet guild leader’s face.
the puppet guild leader looked utterly ordinary, the kind that would go unnoticed even when thrown into a crowd.
but he was extremely cautious, and when he looked at lin jing, he did so with a strong sense of curiosity.
next to him stood a puppet, and the aura emanating from the puppet was also very formidable.
the aura of the puppet was at the very least equivalent to a golden core peak cultivator.
it seemed that the puppet guild leader had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
previously, lin jing had also inquired about the puppet guild leader, but he never knew that his grey robe had such an effect.
nor had the golden core peak puppet ever been displayed in public.
……
at this time, the puppet guild leader curiously looked at lin jing and asked,
“my cave is clearly protected by a formation, how did you manage to pass through the formation and come into my cave, hmm?”
