Chapter 62
Out in the wild, Cao Ying's attention was quickly diverted by Lin Jiang. There were so many fun things outside, like rabbits, sparrows, grasshoppers, fish, and all sorts of toys. Wasn't that more fun than big birds?
Lin Jiang played with Cao Ying while three people slowly approached from behind. One person was building a foundation, the other two were refining qi, and they were staring at Lin Jiang and Cao Ying from a distance.
"Sir, do you want to take action?"
"You two, slowly get closer to him. If you can catch him, do so. If you can't, then kill him. Keep the little one alive, we'll use him to threaten Cao Yang's wife."
The person in the building foundation period said, "The investigation the organization conducted earlier was indeed correct. Cao Yang's neighbor is indeed part of her group. Unfortunately, we underestimated Cao Yang's wife's strength and Han Chunming ended up dying in vain."
He naturally believed that Zhang Ruifang killed Han Chunming. Qi refining period killing building foundation period only exists in the talented disciples of the major sects. When did independent cultivators gain such power?
"Cao Ying, co here."
Lin Jiang sensed soone approaching and waved to Cao Ying. Cao Ying happily bounced over and Lin Jiang reached out to cover her eyes.
"Uncle is playing hide-and-seek with you. You can't open your eyes, okay?"
"Okay, uncle. Make sure you hide well."
"You won't be able to find ."
Lin Jiang laughed and said, then cast a spell to block Cao Ying's vision and hearing. Children shouldn't see so many bloody things.
"Kill them."
Lin Jiang released Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao, and pointed them in the right direction.
"Ying..."
Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao let out a terrifying cry, causing the two sneaking individuals to suddenly startle, exposing their presence.
"Aurora falcon"
Soone shouted in alarm, trying to escape, but it was too late. The Aurora falcon swooped down from a height of tens of ters, faster than an arrow, flying past the two individuals' heads. Its claws tore through their protective energy and their heads.
"How is that possible?"
From afar, during the early stages of construction, they saw the Aurora falcon. The expression on their face froze instantly. This was a second-level Aurora falcon. How could a Qi Refining Period person have a second-level beast pet, let alone two?
"Who are you, sir?"
Lin Jiang arrived in front of the Building Foundation Period, and the two Shadiao birds had already begun to circle in the sky.
"I'm saying this is a misunderstanding, do you believe ?"
"Guess if I believe you or not."
"Alright, we didn't co for the taoist friend. The taoist friend can hand over the child in their arms to , and we'll pretend this never happened."
"Where do you get the confidence to think I would hand over soone?"
"Just an Aurora falcon, it's no match for ."
"Is that so?"
"I said it, I ant it"
Before the words of Building Foundation Period were finished, the person had already moved. He knew the characteristics of Aurora falcon. Once it starts running, it is a certain death. His speed cannot be faster than Aurora falcon.
So his only hope is to kill or catch Lin Jiang. But unfortunately, Lin Jiang ca in front of him, at such a short distance, he is definitely faster than Aurora falcon.
"One Sword Flying Immortal"
"Explosive Elent Technique"
Lin Jiang was already prepared and ready. As soon as the opponent made a move, he imdiately unleashed the Explosive Elent Technique, and then displayed the Sword of the Immortal Flying. He had been practicing this move for many years, and finally mastered it.
The flying sword transford into a stream of light, directly piercing towards the opponent. Building Foundation Period was completely dismissive. With the skills of Qi Refining Period, how much strength can it have? It casually released a burst of light, intending to deflect Lin Jiang's flying sword.
"*sound effect*"
However, the flying sword was like poking through a window paper, tearing apart the burst of light, its montum unabated, continuing forward. Building Foundation Period's face turned pale, hastily summoning a defensive shield.
"Boom"
The flying sword pierced through the magic shield, and both the person and the shield were forcefully thrown out.
"Oh no"
The person felt a huge panic in his heart, realizing that he had made a mistake. This person is terrifyingly powerful, even in the Qi Refining Period, he managed to display the strength of the Building Foundation Period.
At this mont, he actually hadn't sustained any injuries, but his plans had failed, and he had lost the advantage.
"Ying..."
As soon as the two Shadiao saw the enemy attacking, they imdiately swooped down. The person hurriedly used his shield to defend himself, but the Big Shadiao passed by his side, its wings colliding with the shield and once again sending him flying.
At this mont, the Small Shadiao grabbed onto the mid-air Building Foundation Period and quickly ascended, then it released its claws, dropping him down.
"Stay steady"
During the period of establishing a foundation, a surge of spiritual energy occurred. The Building Foundation Period is capable of flying with their physical body, but this move didn't have much effect on him.
"Ying..."
Just at this mont, Big Shadiao let out another piercing and mournful scream. The Building Foundation Period felt a montary daze, interrupting their spiritual energy output, and causing them to fall.
"Bang"
The person fell heavily to the ground, in a disordered manner.
Before he could react, Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao attacked again, landing beside the Building Foundation Period and pecking at him vigorously.
"Bang, bang"
After a few monts, the protective shield in his hand was pecked through, as the sharp claws and beaks of Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao were their strongest weapons. Lin Jiang tested it, even a high-quality magical artifact couldn't withstand their pecks.
Without the protective shield, the Building Foundation Period beca vulnerable. Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao left holes with each bite. After the person howled in pain several tis, he turned into a bloody and grueso sight, too horrifying to look at.
Lin Jiang quickly put away their storage bag and sword and jumped onto Big Shadiao's back, saying to them, "Go find Zhang Ruifang, in the west."
Lin Jiang didn't know where Zhang Ruifang went, but he knew she went west.
Soon, they found Zhang Ruifang because she was already fighting with the Dark Night Organization, making a lot of noise and being very noticeable.
"Friend Lin, run!"
Zhang Ruifang saw the Aurora falcon and scread.
"Mistake?"
A man in the later stage of building foundation saw the Aurora falcon approaching in the sky and frowned.
"Too late."
Lin Jiang had already jumped off the Aurora falcon and let it hover in the sky.
"Taoist Friend Lin, take Cao Ying and go."
Zhang Ruifang said, at this ti Dark Night Organization still had nine people, four of them were in the Building Foundation Period, and one of them was in the later stages of the Building Foundation Period. The difference in strength was too big.
"It's too late, get ready to fight."
Lin Jiang shook his head, as soon as he ca down, the people from Dark Night Organization imdiately surrounded them. It was difficult to break free.
"Cover
as I rush into the forest over there, and then you co in too. I can't use my assassin skills on flat ground."
Zhang Ruifang said to Lin Jiang, she was forced out of the forest by soone. She had already killed two people.
"Okay."
Lin Jiang took out a piece of clothing from his storage bag and tied it to Cao Ying's back. Then he took out a large stack of spiritual talismans.
"Don't let them enter the forest, kill them."
The leader of the building foundation later ordered, and he also knew that Zhang Ruifang's skill level, although not as good as Cao Yang before, was still quite skilled. The more complex the environnt, the more advantageous it is for assassins.
Among the nine mbers of Dark Night, eight of them started to act. Three mbers in the Building Foundation Period dealt with Zhang Ruifang, while five mbers in the Qi Refining Period went after Lin Jiang. The person in the later stage of the building foundation period confronted Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao. Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao sensed the opponent's strength and kept making warning calls, showing great caution.
"Boom, boom..."
Lin Jiang imdiately started throwing spiritual talismans as soon as he took action. Before that, Lin Jiang had been working hard for a year and drew over a thousand spiritual talismans. He sold more than half of them and still had a few hundred left on him.
This luxurious approach made the assassins very uncomfortable. The average price of a first-level premium spiritual talisman is ten spirit stones. The ones with more attack power may even be a bit more expensive. Lin Jiang threw out more than ten at once, which ans it cost over a hundred spirit stones.
As for assassins, besides the few who have achieved fa, most of them are poor, who might only have one set of flying swords, daggers, or shields. If they get destroyed, they might be left with nothing.
Therefore, faced with Lin Jiang's luxurious approach, the five assassins in the Qi Refining Period focused on avoiding and felt restricted. Judging from the situation, Lin Jiang seed to have the upper hand.
"Hidden."
One assassin couldn't stand it anymore, put away their shield, and used an invisibility charm on themselves. Then they kept changing positions, trying to get closer to Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang's senses are much stronger than theirs. After years of practicing the Soul Refining Technique, he had already seen through their traces, right at the mont he approached.
"One Sword Flying Immortal"
"Explosive Elent Technique"
Lin Jiang once again executed the technique of the Immortal Who Flies with a Single Sword, the flying sword turned into a streak of light, directly piercing through him.
"Return"
This move by Lin Jiang also exposed a flaw to the others. The remaining four people instantly surged forward, but Lin Jiang manipulated the flying sword to turn back, and his spiritual talisman in his hand was activated once again.
Without using the Technique of Explosive Elents, Lin Jiang's strength was almost on par with theirs, and he successfully pushed them back.
"Be careful, it's the Qianque Crossbow"
In the next mont, Lin Jiang shot out a crossbow arrow, soone shouted that the Qianque Crossbow still had great power within the Qi Refining Period, its arrows were capable of penetrating armor, and ordinary shields were difficult to withstand.
"Bang"
The crossbow arrow was blocked by a magical shield, but the silver needle hidden in the arrow hit its target, piercing through the person's temple, causing them to collapse.
The remaining three people looked at Lin Jiang in shock. They had thought he was a harmless little lamb, but when they tried to attack him, they realized he was actually a fierce tiger, and his thods were even darker than theirs, resembling an assassin.
"Chase him into the forest."
Among the remaining three people, soone shouted. They didn't want Zhang Ruifang to enter the forest because Zhang Ruifang was even more skilled than them, a superior assassin. If Zhang Ruifang went in, they would be putting their lives in danger.
But Lin Jiang wasn't an assassin. If they entered the forest, it would be Lin Jiang who would be risking his life.
The three imdiately changed their strategy, attacking together to force Lin Jiang to retreat, step by step, toward the direction of the forest.
"Ying..."
Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao couldn't restrain themselves any longer. They kept circling in the sky, making eerie screeches, assuming an attacking posture.
But those later-stage assassins were not at all afraid of their tricks, and it didn't shake them at all.
"A brute is just a brute."
The later-stage assassin was a bit disdainful. When he saw Aurora Falcon preparing to attack him, he was one step ahead and flew into the air with two spiritual talismans tied to his flying sword. Then, the talismans were activated and two fire dragons appeared. Aurora Falcon saw the flas coming and panicked, quickly flying higher to avoid the pursuing sword.
"Ying..."
Aurora Falcon beca more and more anxious, even its cries were a bit chaotic. Lin Jiang hurriedly secretly comforted them, telling them not to be in a rush. Just by keeping an eye on that later-stage assassin was already the biggest contribution.
Lin Jiang approached the forest step by step. As soon as he entered the forest, the three assassins instantly disappeared. They were masters at hiding themselves in the environnt.
Lin Jiang took out a helt from his storage bag and put it on. This helt also protected his neck. Ever since he found out that assassins liked to go for the neck, Lin Jiang had bought this thing. This was the first ti he used it.
"Puchi..."
One of the assassins couldn't help but make a move. He jumped down from a tree and saw Lin Jiang wearing the helt, protecting his neck. The assassin stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
But with this stab, he knew sothing was wrong, the dagger didn't go through.
"Flop"
Lin Jiang stabbed him in the neck with a sword, then kicked him out.
He touched his chest and pulled out the dagger, he was wearing three layers of clothes made of special silk woven by spiritual silkworms, and two layers of armor, so it wasn't easy to penetrate.
(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)
To save his life, Lin Jiang thought he was excellent.
