Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Chapter 69 Chase and Escape (2/2)

At this moment, what he hated the most, of course, was Qi Yao. If it hadn’t been for Qi Yao telling him that there was an extraordinary treasure on Li Yan Island, he wouldn’t have rashly taken his two brothers and barged in as they did.

Then he would not be like he is now, chased down like a dog who has lost its home.

However, he had seen Qi Yao’s fate as well.

If he were caught up to, he feared his own fate would not be much better than Qi Yao’s.

With this thought, the speed of the white-robed cultivator increased by a few more notches.

This acceleration caused Lin Jing to furrow his brows once again.

Having just burst forth at top speed, Lin Jing could not erupt in speed again in a short period of time, or it would cause serious damage to his body.

Seeing the white-robed cultivator getting farther and farther away.

Lin Jing immediately concentrated his Divine Sense, launching an attack toward the sea of consciousness of the white-robed cultivator.

However, the white-robed cultivator had been on guard early on. Despite Lin Jing’s strong Divine Sense, it was to no avail against the defensive measures of the white-robed cultivator.

It was only when the white-robed cultivator defended against Lin Jing’s Divine Sense attack that his speed would slightly reduce.

This allowed Lin Jing to close the distance once again.

Feeling the threat of Lin Jing from behind, the white-robed cultivator’s heart surged with panic.

Desiring to speed up even more, he tried to dodge Lin Jing’s pursuit.

But at this moment, his speed was already at its fastest. To go any faster would require the use of some special secret techniques.

Such as the Blood Escape Technique…

Sensing Lin Jing relentlessly chasing him, determined not to give up until he was captured.

The white-robed cultivator’s heart hardened, his gaze becoming extremely resolute.

Following that,

The white-robed cultivator suddenly controlled the fluctuation of Spiritual Power within his body and then, abruptly, he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

After the blood was ejected, the white-robed cultivator immediately wilted, and even his speed of escape slowed down considerably.

Seeing this, Lin Jing immediately understood what the man was trying to do.

So he quickly burst forth at full speed, wanting to intercept him before he completely escaped.

However.

Just as Lin Jing erupted in speed, closing the distance, and about to burst forth once again to reach the man’s side and stop him,

The white-robed cultivator was already prepared, having activated the Blood Escape Technique. His speed instantly escalated several levels, and in the blink of an eye, he flew far away.

And Lin Jing, watching his fleeing figure, wanted to give chase but found himself powerless to do so.

Originally, he thought he could capture him, but unexpectedly, the man escaped using the Blood Escape Technique.

The Blood Escape Technique was no simple matter; using it would burn one’s own Lifespan, stimulating the body’s potential.

This would greatly increase one’s speed, not by just a single grade.

Although the Blood Escape Technique could not last long and the toll on the body was significant, in times of crisis, it was indeed one of the best escape methods.

The only issue was that using the Blood Escape Technique also burned one’s life force, but these losses could potentially be recovered through other means.

It was just more troublesome, that’s all.

Seeing the white-robed cultivator use the Blood Escape Technique, Lin Jing naturally wouldn’t follow suit recklessly.

Having just burst forth at his top speed, Lin Jing’s physical condition was already not good. If he tried to chase using the Blood Escape Technique, he feared his body would give out beforehand.

So, after some thought, Lin Jing decided to give up the chase.

……

Then, Lin Jing stopped on the spot and took a moment to recover his body.

Allowing his slightly throbbing body, which had been taxed from the extreme burst of speed, to relax a bit.

It wasn’t long before Lin Jing was fully recovered.

Just as Lin Jing was about to return,

Suddenly,

A presence was sensed from afar.

Lin Jing turned his head and saw a sleek silver-white shadow flying from the horizon.

This was a flying boat.

The flying boat moved at an extremely fast speed, and in just a short time, it was already near Lin Jing.

Those who owned a flying boat generally had strength that should not be underestimated.

Therefore, when the flying boat arrived, Lin Jing instantly became vigilant.

He didn’t even project his Divine Sense.

This was an unwritten rule in the Cultivation World.

If a lower-ranked cultivator encounters a higher-ranked one, it’s best to avoid using Divine Sense to probe the other party; otherwise, it could easily anger them.

And bring unnecessary trouble to oneself.

Especially with flying boats, these kinds of large magic artifacts used for flying.

It’s very possible that a Nascent Soul-stage or a Divinity Transformation-stage powerhouse could be sitting inside.

If you encounter such individuals and dare to probe with Divine Sense indiscriminately, that’s practically courting death.

However, the material of the flying boat in sight was bright silver phosphor crystal. Among materials used to make flying boats,

It was relatively low-grade and not very expensive.

Therefore, it was very possible that the cultivator inside was just a Golden Core cultivator.

But even so…

Lin Jing still refrained from using Divine Sense to probe the flying boat, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However.

Although Lin Jing made no movement, the silver-white flying boat still stopped in front of him.

Lin Jing immediately frowned, quietly gathering his Spiritual Power and preparing for combat.

Shortly thereafter,

The door of the flying boat opened, and someone came out.

This emergence surprised Lin Jing for a moment,

Because this person was none other than Zhang Jian, who had previously wanted to buy Yan Shuishui and take her as a disciple.
