Chapter 368: Chapter 69 Chase and Escape
The cultivator’s eyes were filled with sorrow at this moment.
Then, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the white-robed cultivator, shouting with all his might:
“Boss, run…”
“His Divine Sense is at least at the Golden Core Late Stage, you’re no match for him…”
The contact with Lin Jing had informed the cultivator that his boss stood no chance against Lin Jing, prompting him to urgently warn his superior.
At the same time, he braced for certain death and charged at Lin Jing again.
As the cultivator rushed forward, the white-robed cultivator called out in grief and indignation:
“Big Pudge…”
However, after shouting once, the white-robed cultivator did not charge forward but instead turned around and fled toward the sea.
And it wasn’t just the white-robed cultivator.
The stern-looking youth named Qi Yao had also realized something was amiss and escaped in terror even faster than the white-robed cultivator.
Yet, the charge of the cultivator was futile. Watching the advancing cultivator, Lin Jing had a thought.
Suddenly.
A burst of Five-Colored Divine Light exploded from within the cultivator.
In an instant, it engulfed him…
This second cultivator died tragically at the hands of Lin Jing, in such a manner.
Afterward, Lin Jing looked up at the two escaping figures.
After a moment of thought, he dashed toward Qi Yao.
As just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Qi Yao wasn’t particularly fast, and it wouldn’t take much effort to deal with him.
Having made his decision, Lin Jing vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already close to Qi Yao.
As soon as Qi Yao realized, his soul nearly fled in fright.
Originally, he thought he could escape to safety while Lin Jing was occupied with the white-robed cultivator.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jing chose not to pursue the white-robed cultivator but to chase after him instead.
Realizing Lin Jing was in pursuit, Qi Yao knew he could not escape.
Thus, he stopped immediately, turned around, bowed, and said to Lin Jing:
“Island Master…”
“I, Qi Yao, swear by my Soul Spirit to loyally serve the Island Master unto death.”
Lin Jing was well aware that this act was nothing more than a ploy to save his own life.
Previously, Yue Qiniang had mentioned that this man was sly and cunning, capable of anything to survive.
Therefore, Lin Jing would never consider him as a subordinate.
Consequently, Lin Jing made his move, sending out a Five-Colored Aurora towards Qi Yao’s Dantian.
In no time at all, Qi Yao let out a miserable cry:
“Ah…”
“You… you… you actually destroyed my cultivation.”
Before his words even finished, Qi Yao, now devoid of cultivation, plummeted from the sky, falling towards the sea below.
However, Lin Jing paid him no heed.
He simply turned to Yue Qiniang and said:
“He’s yours to deal with. Keep him alive. I want to interrogate him when we return.”
Having said this, Lin Jing continued forward, pursuing the white-robed cultivator.
“Yes, Island Master Lin…”
Yue Qiniang reacted quickly, commanding her sword to rise, heading toward Qi Yao…
……
The white-robed cultivator, with his Mid Golden Core Stage cultivation, was much faster than Lin Jing.
But Lin Jing, who practiced Body Refining Techniques, could occasionally burst forth, significantly increasing his speed.
In this way, one chasing and the other fleeing, they raced across the sea.
Normally, Lin Jing, capable of bursting to extreme speeds, shouldn’t have found it difficult to catch up with the white-robed cultivator.
Unfortunately, after each burst, Lin Jing required a period of rest to recover before he could burst forth at extreme speed again.
And it was during this time that the white-robed cultivator widened the gap between them.
Lin Jing was powerless to close the distance.
After all, the disparity in their cultivations wasn’t easily bridged.
And what’s more critical is…
Lin Jing lacked a quality Flying Sword Magical Treasure. He was currently using the Supreme Grade Magic Artifact, the Flawless Sword.
It seems that Lin Jing must find a way to obtain a better flying sword soon.
And the white-robed cultivator was clever; after being warned by the plump cultivator, he constantly concentrated his Divine Sense, vigilant against Lin Jing’s surprise attacks.
Lin Jing’s several Divine Sense attacks had been to no avail throughout this time.
If this continued, the white-robed cultivator might indeed manage to escape from Lin Jing’s grasp.
Lin Jing frowned in thought.
The System Space was currently upgrading; he couldn’t even use the Enhancement Possession Function.
Otherwise, he could have enhanced his Divine Sense with the Bonus Attachment function for a surprise attack, which might have been effective.
Now, without any other options, he could only continue the pursuit in hopes of finding another opportunity.
During this time of contemplation, Lin Jing’s body had somewhat recovered.
Therefore, Lin Jing once again burst forth with his Body Refinement cultivation, charging ferociously toward the white-robed cultivator.
The white-robed cultivator, sensing the terrifying aura rapidly approaching from behind, also hurriedly gathered his cultivation.
Boosting his speed once more.
After witnessing Lin Jing killing his two underlings in an instant, the white-robed cultivator knew he had hit a snag this time.
