Chapter 292 - Chapter 292: Chapter 274 Secret (2/2)

Huang Qingling then spoke again:

“I know you must, like me, have your own secrets, and I won’t ask, nor will I tell anyone else.”

Lin Jing hurriedly said to Huang Qingling:

“Thank you, Fellow Qingling!”

At this point, Huang Qingling gave Lin Jing a look and then corrected him:

“I’ve said it before, just call me Qingling…”

Perhaps because they had both revealed some secrets to each other, Lin Jing felt that their relationship seemed to have moved a step closer.

“It’s a habit, I’ll definitely remember from now on…” Lin Jing quickly said.

……

Just then.

Elder Bai and the Zhang Family Patriarch were fighting and retreating, and they were once again heading in Lin Jing’s direction.

Lin Jing looked up and saw Elder Bai standing in midair, confronting the Zhang Family Patriarch.

At this moment, his body was covered in numerous wounds, and the Magical Treasure he held, engraved with countless secret inscriptions, was also riddled with cracks.

However, even though Elder Bai appeared to be in a sorry state, his eyes were extremely calm, staring directly at the Zhang Family Patriarch as if he had everything under control.

On the other hand, things didn’t look so good for the Zhang Family Patriarch. His gaze was gloomy, his breath was disordered, and even the Demonic Qi around him was intermittent and unstable.

“Heh…heh heh…”

The Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly cracked a dry laugh.

Afterward, he said breathlessly:

“Elder Bai, had Wǔ Cǎi not self-destructed and wounded me, you would never have been my match, no matter what.”

“You have no idea…”

“You don’t know just how powerful these Demonic Techniques are.”

“I really didn’t want to use this move…”

“Today, I’ll let you witness the true power of these Demonic Techniques.”

Having said that.

The Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which immediately gathered in midair and transformed into a drop of black blood that flew straight into the Zhang Family Patriarch’s forehead.

And it was at this moment that the Demonic Qi around the Zhang Family Patriarch solidified once again.

Seeing this, Elder Bai’s brow furrowed at once.

At the same time, he quickly brought out a rough bronze mirror Magical Treasure to shield himself, while gathering his Spiritual Power, he vigilantly watched the Zhang Family Patriarch.

Witnessing this, the Zhang Family Patriarch sneered and then suddenly vanished from his spot.

However, he wasn’t charging at Elder Bai.

Instead, he was speeding toward Lin Jing and the others with an incredibly fast pace.

“Hahaha…”

“Elder Bai, you’ve been fooled.”

The Zhang Family Patriarch laughed wildly as he rushed toward Lin Jing’s group.

“After I’ve drained your treasured niece and recovered a bit, I’ll have another fight with you.”

Elder Bai became furious immediately, he, who had prepared for everything, did not expect to be played by the Zhang Family Patriarch.

“Zhang Chenfan, when did you become so shameless?”

Elder Bai roared angrily, then hurriedly chased after the Zhang Family Patriarch.

However, the Zhang Family Patriarch paid no attention to Elder Bai and continued to charge toward Lin Jing and the others.

Even as the two appeared, Lin Jing and Huang Qingling had been watching from afar.

When the Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly changed course, speeding their way.

Lin Jing was immediately taken aback.

Having reached the Golden Core Late Stage, the Zhang Family Patriarch’s strength was something Lin Jing was very clear about.

Even though he was now severely injured, he was still not someone Lin Jing and the other could contend with.

In fact, the two of them couldn’t even manage to block him at all.

Seeing the Zhang Family Patriarch approaching rapidly, Lin Jing knew that even if they wanted to run away, they probably couldn’t escape given their speed.

At this critical moment.

A flash of inspiration struck Lin Jing, and he thought of a plan.

He then quickly said to Huang Qingling:

“Qingling, once he comes, do your best to attack him. Whether it’s with spells or talismans, it doesn’t matter if you can’t injure him, just as long as you can interfere with him.”

After saying this, without waiting for Huang Qingling to respond.

Lin Jing also quickly made his preparations.

The Flawless Sword, which had been taken out earlier, was now at his side.

Then, he took out a small sword less than an inch long from his Storage Bag—the Lu Zhen Magical Sword.

At the same time, he focused on the approaching Zhang Family Patriarch.
