Meanwhile, Wei Zhengqing showed no reaction as he drew a crimson Magic Artifact longsword from his Storage Bag and held it in his hand.

Lin Jing then controlled the Array Plate, and on the light screen of the Formation in front, an opening the size of a person appeared.

After that, with a “whoosh,” Wei Zhengqing disappeared into the Formation, charging towards the Red-Robed Cultivator outside.

The Red -Robed Cultivator’s heart leaped with joy, not expecting them to actually dare to rush out from the Formation.

He then sneered coldly, forming a hand gesture, and retreated.

As Wei Zhengqing rushed towards the Red-Robed Cultivator, he suddenly turned, unexpectedly raising his arm and blocking ahead with his sword.

“Clang”

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Turned out the Red-Robed Cultivator had been maneuvering the Flawless Sword to launch a sneak attack on Wei Zhengqing.

Previously, the power of this Flawless Sword seemed considerable, yet it was easily caught by Wei Zhengqing.

This indicated that Wei Zhengqing’s strength was far from ordinary.

Seeing this, the Red-Robed Cultivator did not linger, instead he continued retreating backward, persistently using the Flawless Sword to attempt sneak attacks on Wei Zhengqing.

And Wei Zhengqing, as if he could predict the attacks in advance, managed to block each sneak attack.

Thus, the two of them, one advancing and the other retreating, gradually moved away.

It was only when the two figures were out of sight that Lin Jing came back to his senses.

He looked towards Yan Xiong and asked, “Old Yan, is Brother Wei really okay?”

Old Yan cracked a big smile and replied,

“Don’t worry, Brother Lin, Old Wei is no simple character. He killed a Cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment when he was at the peak of Qi Refinement.”

“You mustn’t underestimate him.”

“That powerful!” Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course, Old Wei’s Cultivation Technique is different from ours, he’s best at assault and killing techniques,” said Yan Xiong cheerfully.

“That’s good to know.”

It wasn’t long before Wei Zhengqing returned.

He was covered in blood, holding that crimson longsword, walking towards them.

By now, there were no Demonic Beasts around, nor were there other people, so Lin Jing deactivated the Defensive Array.

“Brother Wei…”

“How are you? Are you injured?” Lin Jing stepped forward and asked.

“Rest assured, except for his Magic Artifact being somewhat formidable, that man was no match for me.”

“Brother Lin, catch this.”

After speaking, Wei Zhengqing threw something transparent over. If it wasn’t for Wei Zhengqing’s reminder and the specks of blood on it, Lin Jing might have completely overlooked it.

Lin Jing caught it and found that it was the Red-Robed Cultivator’s Flawless Sword. This sword was completely transparent, resembling the transparent glass of a bygone era, and it felt like cold metal to the touch, although he didn’t know what material it was made of.

“Brother Wei, what is the meaning of this?” Lin Jing looked towards Wei Zhengqing with puzzlement.

“Brother Lin, this is for you.”

“I see you’ve been without a Magic Artifact, so I’m giving this Flying Sword to you. I think it suits you well.”

“Brother Wei, this is your spoils of battle, and moreover, this Flawless Sword is an exceptional Magic Artifact, extremely precious. How could I accept it? Please take it back,” Lin Jing said as he offered the Flawless Sword back to Wei Zhengqing.

“Brother Lin, please accept it; consider it as compensation for that Pure Body Restoration Pill of yours.”

“That’s right, Brother Lin, just take it. Old Wei is not in need of exceptional Magic Artifacts; the one in his hand is an exceptional Magic Artifact too,” Yan Xiong interjected.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry,

“This exceptional Magic Artifact is way more valuable than a Pure Body

Restoration Pill, worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.”

“Brother Lin, there’s no need for further words. If it weren’t for Brother Lin’s Formation protecting us, we might have died at the paws of Demonic Beasts long ago.”

“Alright then…”

Seeing Wei Zhengqing was insistent, he didn’t say any more and instead accepted the Flawless Sword.
