Chapter 44: Diverting Trouble Eastward
Translator: 549690339
Just when Ning Yue thought they were certain to die, suddenly three loud shouts erupted.
“Explode!” “Explode!!”
“Explode!!!”
A violent thundercloud struck towards the Fla Poison Centipede.
This thundercloud, ford by Lin Jing using three consecutive Five Thunder Talismans, enveloped the previously arrogant Fla Poison Centipede as if it had t its nesis. The creature stopped in place, daring not to move, and allowed the lightning to strike down.
Ning Yue looked up and saw Lin Jing standing on high ground, gazing at the Fla Poison Centipede with a Purple Talisman clutched in his hand. Seeing Lin Jing’s figure, Ning Yue was montarily dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
It wasn’t just Ning Yue who was stunned; the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator was too, and even he hadn’t expected that a re mid-stage Qi Refinent ant would block the Fla Poison Centipede.
“What are you dawdling for, run!” shouted Lin Jing.
Snapping out of her shock, Ning Yue quickly ca to her senses, took Luo Luo in her arms, and flew off on her Flying Sword directly towards Lin Jing, intending to take him along in the escape.
“Foolish!” Lin Jing bellowed.
“That Fla Poison Centipede will definitely co after later. Take Luo Luo and get away, stay far from .” After saying this, Lin Jing, out of concern, added another line.
“Don’t worry about , I have my own way of escaping.”
In the urgency of the situation, Ning Yue had no choice but to trust Lin Jing’s words. She didn’t dare hesitate any longer, and piloting her Flying Sword, she fled in another direction.
The thundercloud ca quickly but dissipated just as fast.
Looking at the Fla Poison Centipede again, the area on its head that had been ravaged by the thundercloud was now charred black, and even its carapace had cracked.
However, it seed to be not seriously injured.
Even with three Talismans stacked together, it had only caused such minor damage; the defense of the Fla Poison Centipede was terrifyingly formidable.
“Hiss…”
The sharp hissing sound was incredibly piercing. Clearly, Lin Jing’s recent actions had infuriated the Fla Poison Centipede.
Imdiately after, the Fla Poison Centipede moved, charging towards Lin Jing at a speed even faster than before.
As soon as the thundercloud had just faded, Lin Jing had swiftly pursued the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator from before.
But that Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, solely focused on watching the Fla Poison Centipede to assess its injuries, by the ti he realized what was happening, Lin Jing had already run a considerable distance.
That Foundation Establishnt Cultivator had so much he wanted to communicate to Lin Jing…
He didn’t dare delay any longer because the Fla Poison Centipede was already quickly crawling towards them.
Very quickly, a rather bizarre scene unfolded.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator was fleeing furiously at the front, with Lin Jing closely chasing behind him, and following Lin Jing was a massive Fla Poison Centipede, trailing the two n.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator at the very front didn’t dare to look back, but from the noises behind him, he could tell.
The mid -stage Qi Refinent Cultivator, who he had considered as nothing more than an ant, was still closely following him without having been devoured by the Fla Poison Centipede.
He was perplexed, unsure how the speed of the mid-stage Qi Refinent Cultivator could be so fast.
But he didn’t dare to stop and check, because he could distinctly feel that the Fla Poison Centipede was getting closer and closer to the two of them.
He could only continue escaping swiftly forward, trying to shake off the man behind, because the Fla Poison Centipede was after the mid-stage Qi Refinent Cultivator behind him.
As long as that person was eaten by the Fla Poison Centipede, then he himself would be safe.
The reason why Lin Jing could move so quickly was that he had used the Godspeed Talisman.
And not just one, but he had used two simultaneously.
Even with the boost from the Godspeed Talismans, Lin Jing couldn’t catch up with the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator because the gap in their cultivation was just too wide.
Moreover, the Fla Poison Centipede was steadily drawing closer from behind.
Very soon…
Lin Jing felt a shadow looming over his head, the stench of blood descending from above.
As he turned around, a shudder ran down his spine, only to see the Fla Poison Centipede had caught up to him, its gaping maw about to strike.
In the blink of an eye…
The Fla 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 seed as though Lin Jing was swallowed whole by the Fla Poison Centipede, leaving no remains.
Sensing the commotion behind him, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator turned around just in ti to witness Lin Jing being devoured.
“Finally dead…”
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.
“Uncle Lin…”
Luo Luo burst into tears upon seeing Lin Jing swallowed by the Fla 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 Fla Poison Centipede, her heart still clenched lincontrollably-
“He wouldn’t lie to , 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 unhard.
When Lin Jing reappeared, an enormous centipede leg was raising before him, poised to co crashing down on his head.
Lin Jing was terrified; he’d been teleported right beneath the Fla 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 ergency. 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 Fla Poison Centipede bit down and raised its head, it did not see Lin Jing’s body.
It assud 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 Establishnt 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 Fla Poison Centipede had moved far away did Lin Jing crawl out from the human-shaped pit in the ground.
At that mont, 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 tis 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, so Golden Core Stage expert might be watching. After all, it had been a long ti, 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 Establishnt Cultivator was still being relentlessly pursued by the Fla Poison Centipede, causing a large-scale collapse of buildings wherever it went.
This way, the Fang Market was bound to suffer imnse losses.
After being chased for so long, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator seed to exhaust his Spiritual Power and gradually slowed down.
The Fla Poison Centipede behind him hissed eagerly and accelerated toward
the cultivator..
