Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Chapter 155: Snatching the Treasure (2/2)
“and without damaging the black boulder.”
lin jing swept a glance at the grey robe and the puppet before turning to the puppet guild leader and spoke:
“you’ve hidden your capabilities so deeply, possessing such a magical treasure and puppet, yet never making them known.”
the puppet guild leader then spoke to lin jing:
“hand over the method you used to pass through the formation and enter this cave, and i might spare you.”
lin jing snorted coldly and said:
“dream on…”
with that, he charged straight forward toward the puppet guild leader.
the puppet guild leader stepped back two paces, watching lin jing with wariness.
he immediately chanted an incantation, and under his spell, the golden core peak puppet’s eyes snapped open, awakening, and charged towards lin jing.
seeing this, lin jing also made his move, trading a punch with the puppet.
“boom!”
a loud noise erupted, and lin jing was shaken back several steps by the punch.
meanwhile, the puppet was only forced back two steps.
in this head-on clash, lin jing seemed to be at a slight disadvantage.
it should be noted that lin jing cultivated the overlord divine physique, which was unlike that of ordinary body refinement cultivators.
lin jing then shook his numb arm, his gaze locked onto the golden core peak puppet.
the puppet guild leader across from him was equally astonished.
after all, his puppet was not ordinary.
this puppet had consumed countless efforts of his; although it appeared to be only at the golden core peak, its true combat power was almost on par with a nascent soul cultivator.
and now, a body refinement cultivator was able to match this puppet.
next, the puppet guild leader looked at lin jing and said:
“give up. you can’t possibly be a match for my puppet.”
“as long as you leave behind the method you used to penetrate into this defensive array, i will spare your life, and you can even join the puppet guild.”
“i truly do not wish to be enemies with someone as strong as you.”
facing the words of the puppet guild leader, lin jing naturally held them in contempt:
“do you really think that with this puppet, you can defeat me?”
the puppet guild leader replied:
“my puppet might not be able to hold you down, but you won’t be able to escape my heaven concealing qiankun robe.”
“this heaven concealing qiankun robe is a dao artifact capable of enveloping all things in heaven and earth. any magical treasure, once shrouded by it, can be disconnected from its owner and claimed as my own…”
while the puppet guild leader spoke, he retrieved the ling yin flawless sword from within the heaven concealing qiankun robe.
at this moment, the ling yin flawless sword was covered with a layer of grey.
seeing him take out the ling yin flawless sword, lin jing tried to wield it but found it completely beyond his control.
the puppet guild leader thus directly placed the ling yin flawless sword into his own space ring in front of lin jing.
then, the puppet guild leader continued:
“if you hand over the technique that allows you to silently enter my defensive formation, i will spare your life, and you can also join the puppet guild.”
lin jing gave a cold laugh and said:
“aren’t you going to avenge your brother’s death?”
however, the puppet guild leader was remarkably calm as he replied:
“he was just a half-brother, arrogant and bound to meet disaster. even if he didn’t die at your hands, he would have perished by someone else’s sooner or later, it’s nothing unusual…”
“if not for the reputation of my puppet guild, i really wouldn’t want to make an enemy of you.”
“with your exceptional skills, if we work together, we can certainly leave the devouring spirit blood realm.”
lin jing then looked at the puppet guild leader and said:
“however, do you really think that with just a puppet and that grey robe, you can take me down?”
the puppet guild leader frowned, observing lin jing for a moment, then spoke:
“your flying sword has been taken by me, and your body refinement skills are restrained by my puppet. do you have any other means to counter my heaven concealing qiankun robe and puppet?”
lin jing laughed coldly and answered:
“you can try…”
upon hearing this, the puppet guild leader’s brow furrowed even deeper. after surveying lin jing once more, he said:
“i don’t believe you possess an artifact beyond the level of a dao artifact. as long as it is not an artifact of that caliber, no magical treasure or dao artifact can escape the envelopment of the heaven concealing qiankun robe.”
having said that, the puppet guild leader once again chanted, and the puppet lunged forward, attacking lin jing.
at the same moment, the puppet guild leader also controlled the heaven concealing qiankun robe, attempting to shroud lin jing within it.
then, the puppet guild leader said:
“once trapped by the heaven concealing qiankun robe, even with the strength to reach heaven, you can’t break free…”
facing the combined attack of the puppet and the heaven concealing qiankun robe, lin jing was not only unafraid but even rushed forward, with a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
this outcome was exactly what lin jing had wanted.
when the puppet guild leader saw the smile on the corner of lin jing’s mouth, his heart skipped, and he instantly felt uneasy.
although he was not clear on what was wrong, his innate caution prompted him to beat a retreat.
he wanted to retract his heaven concealing qiankun robe immediately.
seeing the puppet guild leader attempt to take back the heaven concealing qiankun robe, lin jing certainly wouldn’t allow it.
ever since he saw the capabilities of the heaven concealing qiankun robe, lin jing had set his sights on it.
now, with his plan nearing success, how could he allow the puppet guild leader to take back the heaven concealing qiankun robe?
next…
lin jing burst forth with extreme speed, suddenly appearing next to the retreating heaven concealing qiankun robe, grabbing hold of it.
his other hand had already grasped the golden core peak puppet’s arm.
at the same time, lin jing silently summoned in his mind:
“enter the system space…”
