The Great Geng Sword Formation!
Thirty-six flying swords, each capable of conjuring several beams of sword light.
In an instant, countless sword shadows poured down like a torrential rain, engulfing the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator who had lost the ability to resist!
"No--!"
The cultivator's companion screamed in terror and tried to help, but was held back by Elder Linghu and Zhu Feng!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—"
Countless sword lights slashed at the cultivator, whose protective spiritual light had long since dissipated, leaving him utterly powerless to resist!
Blood gushed out!
His body was instantly cleaved into several pieces!
A phantom nascent soul burst forth from the shattered body, its face filled with terror, trying to escape!
Lin Chuan raised his hand and waved – Azure Ice Flame!
The blue flames instantly enveloped the nascent soul, transforming it into a ball of blue ice crystals that fell into Lin Chuan's hand.
From the moment the attack was made to the moment the enemy was killed, it took no more than three breaths!
Linghu Laozu and Zhu Feng were both stunned.
Linghu Laozu had lived for nearly a thousand years and considered himself to be knowledgeable and experienced, but he had never seen such terrifying methods of killing.
Early Nascent Soul stage, instantly killing mid-Nascent Soul stage?
How...how is this possible?!
Zhu Feng was so shocked that he almost lost his mind, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.
"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"
Lin Chuan let out a cold shout and lunged towards another Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
Linghu Laozu and Zhu Feng were suddenly awakened and immediately attacked with all their might!
Although Ancestor Linghu cultivates health preservation techniques and rarely engages in combat, he is, after all, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and his magical power far surpasses that of his peers.
He summoned a jade-green flying sword, its light as sharp as a bolt of lightning, and relentlessly entangled the last Nascent Soul cultivator.
The man was already terrified by Lin Chuan's methods, and now, facing the fierce attack of Linghu Patriarch, he had no power to fight back.
On the other side, Lin Chuan and Zhu Feng joined forces and killed the second Nascent Soul stage cultivator on the spot in just a few breaths!
There's only one person left.
The man was entangled by Linghu Laozu. Seeing that his two companions were dead, he was terrified and desperately tried to break through by channeling his magic power.
"Get out of here!"
He roared and, risking a sword strike from Elder Linghu, transformed into a streak of bloody light and shot off into the distance!
Linghu Laozu slashed at his back with his sword, blood splattering everywhere, but he actually withstood it, and his speed increased instead of decreasing!
They were about to escape—
Lin Chuan raised his hand, and a blue flame shot out!
Dry Blue Ice Flame!
But the cultivator reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body and narrowly avoiding the ice flames!
"Bang!"
The icy flames struck the mountain wall behind him, instantly freezing the dozens of meters of rock face into blue ice crystals!
The man escaped even further.
Just as Linghu Patriarch was about to give chase, Lin Chuan shook his head.
"We can't catch up."
Before the words were finished—
The fleeing cultivator suddenly stopped, his body stiffening.
A phantom nascent soul burst forth from the top of his head!
The nascent soul looked back in terror, then transformed into a streak of light and shot towards the sky!
Teleport!
The teleportation after the nascent soul leaves the body is so fast that it far surpasses any escape technique!
"Oh no!"
Zhu Feng's expression changed drastically. "His Nascent Soul has escaped!"
Linghu Laozu also had a solemn expression.
The fact that the Nascent Soul cultivator escaped means that the news will leak out.
If that Nascent Soul returns to the sect, it will attract even more demonic cultivators...
Lin Chuan frowned slightly as he looked in the direction where the nascent soul had disappeared.
Even his Void Shuttle couldn't catch up with the instantaneous teleportation of the Nascent Soul leaving the body.
"Never mind, let's get the treasure first."
He withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the cave.
……
The cave contained many treasures.
After taking stock, the three of them found five ancient treasures, as well as some pills, materials, and spirit stones.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, if it weren't for your help, we wouldn't even be sure if we could leave alive, let alone get the treasures," Zhu Feng said, taking the initiative. "You take the lion's share of these treasures."
Linghu Laozu also nodded.
Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and took three ancient treasures.
The remaining two items were to be taken by Elder Linghu and Zhu Feng respectively.
The pills and ingredients were divided equally among the three.
……
After leaving Tianluo Kingdom, the three traveled at high speed until they entered the territory of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, at which point they slowed down.
Linghu Laozu's joy along the way was impossible to conceal.
He originally didn't have much time left to live, at most another seventy or eighty years. His biggest worry was that after he passed away, there would be no one to carry on the legacy of Huangfeng Valley.
Now that Lin Chuan has returned with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator and has displayed such terrifying combat power, the weight in his heart has finally been lifted.
Upon returning to Huangfeng Valley, Elder Linghu specially hosted a banquet to invite Lin Chuan.
During the meal, he took out something.
It was a black jade talisman that resembled a jade pendant, about the size of a palm, jet black and shiny, with its surface covered with densely packed tiny runes.
"Junior Brother Lin, this is a treasure that I obtained from a perilous place after surviving countless near-death experiences."
Linghu Laozu placed the jade talisman on the table, his tone solemn.
"Could this be... a jade talisman crafted by an ancient cultivator?"
Lin Chuan stared for a while, then spoke with some uncertainty.
"good."
Linghu Patriarch nodded, "This thing is absolutely extraordinary. I have studied it for hundreds of years, but I still haven't mastered the correct way to use it, and can only unleash a tiny bit of its power. But even that tiny bit of power is enough to frighten people. I have used this thing to defeat powerful enemies several times."
As he spoke, he waved his hand toward the black jade talisman.
With a "whoosh," the jade talisman was sucked into his hand.
Then, he uttered a few ancient, low incantations, and then raised his hand—
The jade talisman transformed into a ball of black light!
A chilling, biting wind suddenly blew by, and a strange, black and red hand abruptly appeared above Linghu Patriarch's head!
The large hand was dark red and shiny, with five fingers spread out, several feet in size, thick knuckles, and exuding a sinister aura.
Black flames flickered intermittently on the giant hand, and an inexplicable eerie aura filled the entire hall with its appearance.
Lin Chuan's gaze sharpened.
"This is……"
"This is the only supernatural power I can use after studying this jade talisman for hundreds of years—the Mysterious Ghost Hand."
As Linghu Laozu spoke, he made a thought.
The black hand suddenly grew several times larger, gently reaching for a nearby wooden table—
The black flames swept past silently!
The wooden table vanished instantly before it was even touched, as if it had never existed!
Lin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.
"This hand can grab almost anything except for treasures of the utmost yang and strength. Once it grabs something, even slightly inferior magical artifacts and ancient treasures will immediately lose all their supernatural powers and obediently surrender. Even top-tier treasures will lose much of their spirituality and power."
Linghu Patriarch withdrew his large hand and handed the jade talisman to Lin Chuan.
"Junior Brother Lin, this is for you."
"this……"
Lin Chuan was taken aback and looked at Elder Linghu.
"My lifespan is nearing its end, and keeping this item in my possession would be like casting pearls before swine."
Linghu Patriarch laughed and said, "Junior Brother Lin, you are only two hundred years old and have a bright future. This item can only be used to its fullest potential if it is in your hands."
Lin Chuan remained silent for a moment, then without hesitation, reached out and took it.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Linghu."
