Chapter 45: Kill Feng Yue, and reap a bountiful harvest of treasures!
"Thank you!"
Witnessing Feng Yue kill Duobao Nu Zhou Bao, Lin Chuan showed no fear on his face, but instead revealed a meaningful smile.
Feng Yue's strike was a great help to him! It saved him the effort of dealing with the elite of the Hidden Moon Sect, who had many magical artifacts and was quite troublesome. More importantly, it allowed him to "concentrate" on dealing with Feng Yue alone.
"I hope you can still smile later!"
Seeing that Lin Chuan was not afraid at all, but instead spoke sarcastically, Feng Yue's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
With a thought, the small yellow dagger talisman hovering beside him shone brightly once more, transforming into a dazzling yellow light that, with a sharp whooshing sound, pierced straight towards Lin Chuan's face!
"clang!"
The golden shield shifted sideways, once again firmly blocking the attack from the talisman.
The shield rippled with golden light and emitted a muffled hum, clearly indicating that even this top-tier defensive magic weapon was struggling to withstand the attack from the talisman.
But there is no immediate concern.
Just as Feng Yue was slightly distracted while controlling the talisman to attack, a cold glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes!
The intent to kill has been formed, and the opportunity will be fleeting!
We must launch a thunderous attack before this person unleashes that exquisite, top-tier defensive magic weapon that he fears—the Yellow Silk Umbrella!
In the blink of an eye.
The Azure Cloud Sword, which had been held in mid-air by Zhou Baoqing's Mirror and whose binding force dissipated with her death, was like a dragon freed from its confinement. It let out a clear and melodious sword cry, and its azure light shone brightly as it shot straight at Feng Yue's vital heart!
"Hmph! A mere trick!"
Upon seeing this, Feng Yue snorted coldly.
The scars on his face twitched, full of disdain.
He seemed to have anticipated Lin Chuan's flying sword attack, and did not immediately recall the yellow dagger talisman that was attacking the golden shield to defend itself.
Instead, he calmly reached into his waist pouch, preparing to retrieve his trump card of defense—the yellow parasol.
He was confident that he could easily block any top-tier magical artifact attack by simply opening the yellow umbrella.
Then we can slowly mold this arrogant young man from Huangfeng Valley.
however.
Just as his fingers touched the storage bag and his mind was focused on retrieving the treasure, an invisible yet extremely sharp pain, like sixteen red-hot steel needles, pierced his forehead without warning.
The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects!
While Lin Chuan was feigning an attack with the Azure Cloud Sword, sixteen of the eighteen spiritual spikes stored in his Divine Court acupoint had already been quietly activated!
To ensure that nothing goes wrong.
To prevent Feng Yue from having special protective means for his soul or an exceptionally strong will, he must be able to prevent it.
He chose to go all out!
"ah--!"
Feng Yue let out a short and shrill scream, and his movement to grab the umbrella suddenly froze!
He felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, his vision went black instantly, and his consciousness became chaotic. The indescribable pain almost made him lose his ability to think, and he fell into a brief daze.
In order to fully control the attack of the talisman, and because he had the Yellow Silk Umbrella on him, he did not fully activate the protective spiritual light, but only maintained a relatively weak layer of protection.
It was this momentary lapse in concentration and weakened defense—
The azure swan formed from the Azure Cloud Sword was already upon him!
"laugh!"
The condensed blue sword light sliced through a thin veil, easily piercing the weak protective aura. Then, it pierced Feng Yue's chest with perfect precision, exiting through his back!
His heart was instantly shattered by the sharp sword energy!
The sneer and disdain on Feng Yue's face froze completely, turning into disbelief, horror, and bewilderment.
He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, then looked up at Lin Chuan, whose face was cold and stern, not far away. His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but only a mouthful of blood gushed out.
He never understood until his death how he, a top elite of Tianque Fortress, possessing talisman treasures and top-level defensive magic weapons, could have been defeated in a single encounter by such a seemingly ordinary disciple of Huangfeng Valley.
Endless regret and resentment faded rapidly in his eyes, eventually turning into a deathly silence.
He swayed and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The battle started quickly and ended even faster!
Lin Chuan remained calm, without the slightest hesitation.
He strode forward, and with a wave of his hand, the Azure Cloud Sword spun around again, cleaving Feng Yue's corpse in half at the waist.
Then, he quickly approached and took the storage bag from Feng Yue's waist, and picked up the yellow umbrella-shaped magic weapon that had fallen to the ground but had not yet been opened—the top-level defensive magic weapon, the Yellow Silk Umbrella.
And that small yellow talisman, whose spiritual light had been extinguished and which had turned back into its original form as a talisman paper after its owner's death.
Then, he flicked his finger and fired several fireballs, which landed on the corpses of Feng Yue, Duobao Nu Zhou Bao, and the woman in yellow.
The flames formed from the spiritual power of the Fire Spirit were extremely hot, instantly engulfing the three corpses.
However, after the flames on Feng Yue's corpse gradually died down, a pair of pale golden feet were revealed.
The boots have subtle cloud-like patterns on their uppers and are completely undamaged!
"Cloud-Stepping Boots!"
A knowing glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes; just as he had expected. He bent down and took off the boots; they were light in his hands and had a peculiar feel.
Without hesitation, he took off his old boots and put on these Cloud-Stepping Boots.
The boots automatically adjusted their size to fit his feet. Lin Chuan tried channeling a wisp of magic into the boots, while simultaneously casting a low-level Wind Control spell on himself.
"Whoosh—!"
The next moment, his figure suddenly blurred, leaving only a faint afterimage in the original spot, and he appeared more than 20 feet away!
Its speed is astonishing; the naked eye of an ordinary person cannot even capture its movement. Even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to pinpoint its location without concentrating all their divine sense!
"Wow, that's fast!"
Lin Chuan secretly praised it. With these Cloud-Stepping Boots, his mobility would be greatly enhanced, whether he was chasing, escaping, or dodging.
He dared not linger there. His Cloud-Stepping Boots gleamed slightly, and with the help of his Wind-Riding Technique, he moved through the forest like a ghost, quickly leaving this dangerous place behind.
Not long after, Lin Chuan found a giant tree to hide in another, more secluded mountain valley with even more bizarre trees.
Only after confirming that the surroundings were safe did he begin to carefully count his spoils, which could be described as a "great harvest".
First, she obtained the following from Zhou Bao: the Azure Condensation Mirror, the Devouring Magic Ball (a pink crystal ball that can spew corrosive liquid), several top-tier attack and defense magic items (flying swords, shields, etc., but unfortunately she didn't have time to use them all), and several precious talismans—one intermediate attack talisman "Ice Rain Technique," one intermediate escape technique talisman "Earth Escape Talisman," one "Wood Escape Talisman," and even one even rarer "Intermediate Minor Five Elements Restriction Talisman"!
Next is Feng Yue's legacy: the top-tier defensive magic artifact, the Yellow Luo Umbrella (yellow umbrella-shaped), the talisman, the Yellow Knife, and most importantly, the Cloud-Stepping Boots (golden boots that greatly increase movement speed) that he is already wearing.
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures before him, Lin Chuan couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
In particular, the Azure Condensation Mirror, the Devouring Magic Orb, the Yellow Silk Umbrella, the Yellow Small Knife Talisman Treasure, and the Cloud-Stepping Boots are all powerful and distinctive, and are probably quite famous among the seven major sects, belonging to the category of "iconic" magical artifacts.
"These things—once used, if seen by others, could easily be associated with the deaths of Zhou Bao and Feng Yue."
Lin Chuan frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. "I must be extremely cautious when using it in the future, and it's best to ensure that no one is watching. If I absolutely have to use it and someone sees me—I might as well resort to murder to silence them."
After sorting and storing the important items (most of them in the jade pendant space), Lin Chuan did not rush to continue towards the central area.
He sat down cross-legged, holding the spirit stone in his hand, and began to recover the mana he had consumed in the battle.
At the same time, it warms and nourishes the almost exhausted spiritual spikes in the Shen Ting acupoint.
He knew very well that rushing to the central area now would not make much sense.
According to the sect's records and his memories of the original work, the central area of the Crimson Forbidden Land is divided into three layers: the outermost layer is a garden-like area left behind by ancient cultivators, where the spiritual energy is rich but the value of the spiritual herbs is average.
The middle layer is the core area that produces the three main ingredients needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as other rare spiritual herbs. The terrain of this layer is a ring-shaped mountain range that is shrouded in thick fog all year round!
That fog was no ordinary fog; not only was visibility extremely low, but it also severely interfered with cultivators' spiritual senses, making it like a blind man feeling an elephant, difficult to explore and fraught with danger.
The key to unraveling this mystery lies in a special "magic weapon"—the Moon Sun Pearl.
This treasure was crafted hundreds of years ago by a genius cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect specifically for a trip to the forbidden area.
It has no offensive or defensive capabilities.
Its sole function is to emit strange light, which can dispel and counteract various fog and poisons.
Back then, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect used this treasure to obtain a massive amount of spiritual herbs in the forbidden area, thus establishing their position as the number one sect among the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom.
