Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Diverting Trouble Eastward (2/2)

The Flame Poison Centipede lunged with its gaping mouth wide open.

In the instant before it struck, Lin Jing activated the Teleportation Talisman in his hand.

However, to the others, it seemed as though Lin Jing was swallowed whole by the Flame Poison Centipede, leaving no remains.

Sensing the commotion behind him, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator turned around just in time to witness Lin Jing being devoured.

“Finally dead…”

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.

“Uncle Lin…”

Luo Luo burst into tears upon seeing Lin Jing swallowed by the Flame Poison Centipede.

Ning Yue clutched Luo Luo’s clothes tightly, her fingers turning white, even though Lin Jing had told her he had a way to escape.

But seeing Lin Jing swallowed by the Flame Poison Centipede, her heart still clenched lincontrollably-

“He wouldn’t lie to me, he shouldn’t,” Ning Yue wasn’t sure.

In this situation, even if Ning Yue rushed forward, it wouldn’t help; all she could do was silently pray, hoping Lin Jing was unharmed.

When Lin Jing reappeared, an enormous centipede leg was raising before him, poised to come crashing down on his head.

Lin Jing was terrified; he’d been teleported right beneath the Flame Poison Centipede’s leg.

“This Teleportation Talisman is such a trap.”

Without a second thought, Lin Jing crushed a Yellow Talisman in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light shone from within, radiating from Lin Jing’s body.

It was the Golden Body Talisman he had prepared earlier to eliminate the Zhang brothers.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and took out all the talismans, ready for an emergency. He hadn’t expected to need it now.

“Boom… ”

A massive centipede leg stomped down on Lin Jing, pinning him to the ground.

After the Flame Poison Centipede bit down and raised its head, it did not see Lin Jing’s body.

It assumed Lin Jing was dead.

Lifting its head, it let out a triumphant shriek, as if reveling in the satisfaction of revenge.

Then, it turned its head, glancing around before setting its sights on the fleeing Foundation Establishment Cultivator and giving chase.

With thunderous stomps, Lin Jing was repeatedly stepped on by the centipede, pressed firmly into the ground.

Thanks to the sturdiness of the Golden Body Talisman, Lin Jing was uninjured.

Only when the Flame Poison Centipede had moved far away did Lin Jing crawl out from the human-shaped pit in the ground.

At that moment, he was at a loss for words.

“Damn it, I never expected to be stepped on by a centipede today,” Lin Jing grumbled.

He had been stepped on at least a dozen times just now.

“If I had known, I would have hidden in the System Space. Then I wouldn’t be so unlucky,” he thought.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking. Under the public eye, he dared not enter the System Space at will.

By now, some Golden Core Stage expert might be watching. After all, it had been a long time, and the commotion was huge.

The Golden Core Cultivators living within the Fang Market had to be aware.

Lin Jing used the Teleportation Talisman for that very reason, fearing the exposure of the System Space.

Looking ahead, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was still being relentlessly pursued by the Flame Poison Centipede, causing a large-scale collapse of buildings wherever it went.

This way, the Fang Market was bound to suffer immense losses.

After being chased for so long, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator seemed to exhaust his Spiritual Power and gradually slowed down.

The Flame Poison Centipede behind him hissed eagerly and accelerated toward

the cultivator..
