Chapter 68 Instant Kill of Huanglong! A Shock to the Bamboo Sect!
"You want to possess me? And you expect me to spare you? What a joke!"
Lin Chuan's eyes were cold, and he remained unmoved.
How could he possibly show mercy to such a vicious person who would try to drag him down with him even on the verge of death?
His five fingers suddenly tightened.
The cyan-gold true essence in his palm shone brightly, like a scorching hot iron!
"No--!"
The agonizing scream abruptly ceased.
With a soft "pop," the struggling green light cluster burst like a bubble, instantly dissipating into specks of light that vanished into the air.
Lin Shixiong's last wisp of primordial spirit was completely refined and annihilated by Lin Chuan using the pure true essence of the "Qingyuan Sword Technique".
Having resolved the possession crisis, Lin Chuan hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
The powerful divine sense keenly detected the abnormal fluctuations outside the cave's grand formation.
He suddenly looked up.
Following my senses, I looked in that direction.
Not far away on the horizon, a strangely shaped, emerald-green flying artifact, resembling a giant bamboo raft, was speeding toward this direction at breakneck speed!
On the magical artifact, six or seven figures stood indistinctly. The one in the lead wore a bright yellow robe and exuded a sharp aura. Even from a distance, one could feel a murderous intent.
"The Thousand Bamboo Sect! They arrived so quickly!" Lin Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed.
He dared not delay in the slightest.
He quickly crouched down and ripped the storage bag off the corpse's waist.
His divine sense roughly broke through the faint remaining restriction on it and quickly searched inside.
His attention quickly settled on a rather ancient-looking gray jade slip. He took out the jade slip and immersed his divine sense into it—
The three ancient characters "Dayan Jue" appeared in my mind, followed by the extensive and profound incantations of the first four levels of the cultivation method!
"Found it!"
Lin Chuan was overjoyed. He immediately took out another blank jade slip and copied the contents of the first four layers of the "Great Evolution Technique" at the fastest speed and without any mistakes, and put it deep into his storage bag.
After doing all this, he put the original gray jade slip back into the storage bag.
Having just finished all this, the emerald green bamboo raft flying artifact roared to the sky above the cave. A powerful pressure, mixed with several Foundation Establishment stage divine senses, swept down without restraint, firmly locking onto Lin Chuan outside the cave and the corpse of his senior brother Lin at his feet.
The real trouble is here.
……
"Huanglong, there's an array blocking the way ahead! That guy surnamed Lin should be hiding inside!"
On the emerald green bamboo raft, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face pointed at the hillside below, which was shrouded in a faint yellow and white halo, and spoke to the burly man in yellow robes who was at the head of the group.
The burly man in the yellow robe, known as Huanglong, was imposing with a rugged face. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a stern voice:
"A mere formation dares to try and stop me? Break it open! I want to see them alive or dead!"
"Yes!" The other six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Thousand Bamboo Sect responded in unison.
In an instant, six or seven bulging storage bags were launched into the air, their mouths open.
With a series of clicking and creaking sounds, countless figures swarmed out of the storage bag!
There are bronze humanoid puppets that are over ten feet tall and wield giant axes or spears; there are animal-shaped puppets that crawl on the ground and resemble cheetahs or giant apes; and there are also some puppets that float in mid-air with strange shapes, like insects or birds.
In just a few breaths, two hundred puppets of various shapes, radiating a cold metallic luster and spiritual pressure, were summoned, blocking out most of the sunlight above the cave.
"attack!"
Huang Long waved his hand.
Hundreds of puppets moved simultaneously!
The humanoid puppet wielded its giant weapon, unleashing sharp spiritual energy strikes.
The beast-shaped golems opened their mouths and spewed out scorching fireballs or ice spikes; the flying golems shot out blinding beams of energy from their compound eyes!
In an instant, various colors of light intertwined, and the sound of something tearing through the air was sharp and piercing.
It poured down like a storm onto the protective light barrier outside the cave!
"Buzz—!"
The outer "Mysterious Armor Array" was under fierce attack. The pale yellow light shield suddenly became bright and thick. The tortoise shell patterns flowing on the light shield were clearly visible. It emitted a muffled hum and vibrated violently, steadily blocking the vast majority of the attacks.
A few highly penetrating beams of light or slashes were quietly deflected, dispersed, and weakened by the hazy star mist derived from the inner "Star Shadow Array," failing to reach the cave's main body in the slightest.
Lin Chuan, who was at the core, was shrouded in starlight mist, his aura perfectly integrated into the formation.
All that could be seen from the outside was a blurry shadow and a solid light shield; his true appearance was completely obscured.
"One mid-Foundation Establishment puppet, six early-Foundation Establishment puppets... nearly a hundred puppets, including several second-level puppets whose auras are close to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Lin Chuan calmly assessed the strength of the approaching enemy through the array.
Although the enemy's attack was fierce, the "Mysterious Armor Formation" should be able to hold out for half an hour.
"This is, after all, the edge of the heartland of the Yellow Maple Valley sect. If such a large-scale attack continues for too long, it is hard to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of the sect's patrolling disciples or nearby cultivators."
Lin Chuan's mind raced. "Simply holding the line isn't the best strategy. If we can deter or even repel them..."
His gaze locked onto Huang Long, the most arrogant man in yellow robes on the bamboo raft.
To catch the thief, first catch the king!
Without further hesitation, Lin Chuan patted his storage bag, and the dark red "Blood Fiend Blade" talisman, exuding a fierce and malevolent aura, was grasped in his palm. This was one of his most powerful and fastest attack trump cards!
The pure cyan-gold true essence surged into the talisman like a floodgate being opened.
The talisman emitted a bright crimson light, and after gathering its power for a few breaths, it finally emitted a low hum.
A miniature throwing knife, about a foot long, dark red in color, with a blade that seemed to flow with blood and exuded a chilling sharpness and murderous aura, materialized above his palm, trembling slightly, ready to be unleashed.
At the same time, Lin Chuan stepped onto a flying artifact and quietly rose to the bottom of the inner wall of the light shield, closely adhering to the protective layer of the "Mysterious Armor Array".
He was multitasking, using one hand to maintain the infusion of the talisman and the other hand to quickly perform hand seals, aiming at a certain point on the light shield above.
"open!"
The thick, pale yellow light shield rippled like water, silently cracking open a tiny gap just wide enough for a talisman to pass through!
It's now!
"go!"
A fierce glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes, and the blood-red dagger in his palm transformed into an extremely condensed, almost imperceptible dark red blood line, shooting out from the crack at a speed exceeding the speed of sound! Its target was Huang Long, who was on the bamboo raft in mid-air, directing the puppets in a fierce attack!
Almost at the same instant the blood-red dagger was shot out, the twenty-seven pale golden divine consciousness spikes that had been poised to strike in Lin Chuan's divine mind sea were launched simultaneously without warning and without a sound!
The fourth level of "The Divine Sword of Awakening" features twenty-seven simultaneous thrusts!
Twenty-seven invisible and intangible divine sense attacks, yet condensed with Lin Chuan's current strength, which was close to that of the late Foundation Establishment stage, ignored spatial distance and the obstruction of puppets and spiritual energy shields. They arrived first after being launched, instantly crossing dozens of feet and fiercely stabbing towards Huang Long's brow and sea of consciousness!
"Huh? You actually dare to fight back?"
Huang Long's divine sense was also quite strong. He sensed it the moment Lin Chuan opened the gap in the formation. Seeing a dark red stream of light shoot out from the formation and head straight for him, he was first stunned, then a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. He was about to activate a shield-shaped puppet beside him or his own defensive magic weapon to intercept it—
"Ugh—!"
An indescribable, excruciating pain, as if his soul were being pierced by countless steel needles and struck hard by a giant hammer, suddenly exploded deep within his mind!
Everything went black in an instant, and my consciousness became a complete mess. All my thoughts and actions were forcibly interrupted and frozen at this moment!
Although the intense pain and stagnation lasted for less than half a breath, it was more than enough for the "Blood Fiend Blade" talisman treasure that had been gathering power for a long time!
Just as Huanglong's body stiffened, his face contorted in pain, and his defenses faltered—
"call out!"
That dark red line of blood has arrived!
There was no earth-shattering noise, only a faint but chilling piercing sound.
The blood-red dagger phantom pierced through Huanglong's chest, right past his heart, with unparalleled precision!
The terrifying aura and sharp power contained within the blade erupted instantly, destroying his heart.
The sinister smile on Huang Long's face had not completely faded before it froze completely.
A trace of disbelief, astonishment, and bewilderment lingered in his eyes. He looked down at the rapidly spreading dark red blood hole in his chest, opened his mouth, but could not utter a sound.
He fell backward.
"Huanglong!"
"leader!"
On the bamboo raft.
The fierceness and mockery on the faces of the other six Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Thousand Bamboo Sect were instantly replaced by boundless terror and horror... They cried out in disbelief, unable to believe their eyes!
In their view, the formation only emitted an inconspicuous red light.
Their strongest leader, Huang Long, who had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, seemed to have no reaction at all, allowing the red light to penetrate his body.
Instant death!
How is that possible?
When did Huanglong's senses and reactions become so sluggish?
Or is it that... the being hidden within that formation is far more powerful than they imagined?
Could this seemingly ordinary cave dwelling actually be the secluded cultivation place of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, from Yellow Maple Valley?!
They've really messed up!
