Chapter 351: Chapter 52: The Annihilation of Qi Gui the Ascetic
Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei had not gone far after they started the chase.
Lin Jing quickly realized that the five-colored flowing light he had left in the body of Qi Gui, the senior monk, had been cleansed.
However, it didn’t matter that the five-colored light was cleansed, because Lin Jing had already figured out Qi Gui’s escape route.
Seeing the direction he fled to, he was headed towards Black Xing Island. Qi Gui probably wanted to continue seeking refuge on Black Xing Island.
There was no other choice, as there were no other islands nearby besides Black Xing Island that could provide shelter from the pursuit of Lin Jing and his companion.
Now that they knew the destination, the task became easier.
Therefore, Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei once again flew towards the direction of Black Xing Island.
Along the way, Yan Wanfei, feeling impatient about their speed, couldn’t help but complain:
“Our speed is just too slow. If only Brother Jiu’s Flying Boat were here.”
After speaking, Yan Wanfei looked at the Flawless Sword under Lin Jing’s feet with confusion:
“Brother Lin, how can you be so poor that you don’t even have a decent Magical Treasure Flying Sword? You’re at the Golden Core Stage and still using a top-grade Magic Artifact Flying Sword.”
“Could it be that the Nanming Domain has fallen to such a state?”
Lin Jing turned his head, looked at Yan Wanfei with a helpless expression:
“Haven’t you forgotten? I’ve only recently advanced to the Golden Core Stage, so how could I have a Magical Treasure Flying Sword?”
Yan Wanfei then realized his oversight and scratched his head with embarrassment, saying:
“Look at my memory, I completely forgot about that.”
“It’s a common issue among us from the Green Illusion Demon Ox Clan, I hope Brother Lin will not take offense…”
For Lin Jing, Yan Wanfei’s forgetfulness was anything but surprising…
Without further attention to him, Lin Jing quickened his pace and flew forward.
Since leaving the Nanming Domain, Lin Jing had first ventured on Immortal Crossing Island, and immediately after coming out, he ran into Yan Wanfei.
Following that, he joined forces with Yan Wanfei and others on a mission.
During this period, Lin Jing had no free time at all, and therefore, no time to acquire a Magical Treasure Flying Sword.
Although Lin Jing had plenty of Spirit Stones on hand and could indeed buy a Magic Artifact Flying Sword,
it was nonetheless difficult to find one that he liked, as Lin Jing’s Flying Sword had to be compatible with the Lingyin Yu Jian Jue technique.
For now, the Flawless Sword was the most suitable, and he didn’t wish to change it recklessly.
If possible, Lin Jing still intended to collect some rare metals or ores and then find an Artifact Refiner to enhance the Flawless Sword.
If all else failed, once he reached the second layer of the Divine Fire Triple Realm through cultivation, he could also use the Blood Refinement Method to refashion the Flawless Sword and elevate it to a Magical Treasure level.
……
Before long, the two had flown hundreds of kilometers over the sea.
Yet at this time, they still had not encountered any trace of Qi Gui.
The two then continued forward until a quarter of an hour later when they finally noticed something unusual.
Right below them in the sea, several Demonic Beast fish were violently fighting each other, seemingly competing for something.
The sea breeze carried with it a faint scent of blood.
Apparently, someone injured had passed nearby.
Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei first exchanged a glance, then nodded at each other.
Without even needing to speak, they understood each other’s intention.
Then, the two of them rode the sea breeze toward the source of the bloody scent.
After a while…
The two finally felt intense fluctuations ahead where someone seemed to be fighting.
And so…
Lin Jing immediately expanded his Divine Sense to probe ahead.
With this probe, he indeed discovered Qi Gui.
Qi Gui was currently in a standoff with a Cultivator.
The Cultivator he was facing was someone Lin Jing also recognized.
It was Zhang Jian, who had been trying to purchase ‘Yan Shuishui’ to take her on as his disciple.
It was unclear, however, why the two men were confronting each other.
Moreover…
Lin Jing could clearly sense that Qi Gui’s wounds were much more severe than before, and the black fog shrouding him had also thinned considerably.
Gasping for breath, Qi Gui was fixated on Zhang Jian across from him.
Zhang Jian, on the other hand, was no better off.
His body had several corroded wounds, deep to the bone, which looked terrifying.
His Flying Sword was also dim and lusterless.
Clearly, the two had fought each other to exhaustion.
……
Since Yan Wanfei’s Divine Sense was not strong, not nearly as formidable as Lin Jing’s,
he was still clueless when Lin Jing detected Qi Gui.
After finding Qi Gui, Lin Jing hastily said to Yan Wanfei:
“Found him, let’s go…”
Hearing Lin Jing’s words, Yan Wanfei’s eyes immediately lit up.
“We found him? That’s great…”
“What’s the use of ‘Old Stick’ running so fast if we still managed to find him…”
“Hahaha…”
“Brother Lin, you rest first when we get there; I’ll handle him.”
Upon learning that Qi Gui had been found, Yan Wanfei began to brag again.
Lin Jing then smiled mysteriously and said to Yan Wanfei:
“You should thank someone for being able to find him.”
“Thank someone? Who?” Yan Wanfei was confused by Lin Jing’s words, not comprehending their meaning.
Lin Jing then reminded him:
“Right…”
“You should revert to your original form first, and don’t present yourself as ‘Yan Shuishui’.”
“Why?” Yan Wanfei was very puzzled.
“You’ll understand once we get there…”
