Chapter 370: Chapter 71: The Shield of Tao

“Lin Daoyou, be careful…”

“Something is not quite right here.”

Zhang Jian reminded him at that moment.

Lin Jing, of course, also noticed it and carefully approached the formation with full concentration.

Different from what was displayed on the Secret Treasure Formation Plate, what the two of them saw with their own eyes was just a bare stone wall—nothing else.

Lin Jing and Zhang Jian arrived at the unusual spot indicated by the Secret Treasure Formation Plate.

Then, after exchanging a glance, Lin Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed a rock from the ground.

Next, he infused the rock with spiritual power and threw it directly at the area that looked like a stone wall.

After the rock was imbued with spiritual power, it became extremely powerful and fast.

The moment it came in contact with the stone wall, there was no collision; instead, it “whooshed” and disappeared into it.

As expected.

This was indeed a hidden formation.

It must be said that the Secret Treasure Formation Plate in Zhang Jian’s hand was indeed very useful.

This location was clearly a cave that had been concealed, and Lin Jing had scanned it several times with his divine sense without discovering it.

It seems that the level of this hidden formation is also not low.

Just then,

a white figure burst out from within the quiet formation.

This white figure, with his cultivation fully unleashed, charged at Lin Jing as soon as he emerged.

Wasn’t this the white-robed cultivator?

At this time, even the bloodstains on his body had not yet dissipated.

It seems that the white-robed cultivator knew he could no longer hide,

so he chose to spring a surprise attack on Lin Jing in hopes of gaining the upper hand.

However,

since Lin Jing had discovered the anomaly, he naturally raised his guard, preparing for a sudden strike from him.

After all, the white-robed cultivator had the cultivation of the mid-Golden Core stage; if Lin Jing was struck by his counterattack, at the very least, he would be heavily injured.

As the white-robed cultivator charged, Lin Jing also began to move.

With a thought, Lin Jing was immediately enveloped in a layer of golden radiance.

This golden light, a result of cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, would reduce the power of any spell that landed on Lin Jing.

After the golden light shrouded him, Lin Jing charged directly at the white-robed cultivator.

The white-robed cultivator had also made considerable preparations, knowing that Lin Jing was a body refinement cultivator.

Therefore, he conjured a black shield magical treasure in front of him, which even had formation patterns twinkling with flowing light on it.

Moreover, the Magical Treasure Flying Sword in his hand was flashing with lightning, slashing towards Lin Jing.

Lin Jing, as he charged, gathered the five-colored flowing light and also launched it at the white-robed cultivator.

The fierce battle between the two broke out at that moment.

With a loud “boom,” Lin Jing’s fist smashed onto the shield.

The material of this shield was unknown, and it was of no low grade.

Lin Jing’s fist pounded down, and the formation patterns on the shield rippled out, dissipating all his force, while the shield itself showed no reaction.

This shield was actually so powerful…

After a fruitless strike, Lin Jing was repelled a good distance away.

Because the white-robed cultivator’s emergence was too unexpected,

not only Lin Jing, but also Zhang Jian, who had not fully retreated, were both sent flying a great distance by the aftermath of the sudden battle.

When this wave of attack subsided, Zhang Jian looked towards Lin Jing with a strange expression in his eyes and quickly withdrew further.

However, although Lin Jing had been knocked flying back,

his attack had not stopped, and the five-colored flowing light was already nearing the white-robed cultivator.

Yet, upon seeing the five-colored flowing light,

the white-robed cultivator simply manipulated his shield to block it.

The five-colored flowing light collided with the shield,

but it had no effect at all and just dispersed.

It seems that this shield was indeed not simple.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, the white-robed cultivator immediately rejoiced and planned to continue his assault on Lin Jing.

By now, his lightning-infused Flying Sword had already reached Lin Jing,

and as the sword swung down, it aimed to slash at Lin Jing.

However, Lin Jing reacted promptly and grasped the Flying Sword in his hand.

No matter how hard the Flying Sword struggled, it could not break free.

But the white-robed cultivator, upon seeing this, did not panic at all.

He curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes, filled with pity, turned towards Lin Jing.

“Explode!”

Following the white-robed cultivator’s loud shout, the Flying Sword actually burst open.

Instantly transforming into a terrifying ball of lightning, it enveloped Lin Jing.

Seeing this, the white-robed cultivator burst into laughter:

“Hahahaha…”

“This self-destructing force of the Thunder-Slaying Sword’s lightning is not something just anyone can withstand.”

“What does it matter if you’re a body refinement cultivator?”

“You’re just a bit tougher, but can you withstand this lightning?”

“Indeed, destiny leaves no one without a path…”

“If it weren’t for your pursuit, I wouldn’t have been able to find this place and acquire this shield magical treasure specifically designed to counter you.”

“It seems all of this is fate’s will, the heavens want you dead, and today you shall certainly perish…”

Having said that, the white-robed cultivator also looked towards Zhang Jian, who had already hidden to one side, with a sinister gaze:
