It was at this moment.
Lin Jingâs heart suddenly pounded furiously, his back chilled, sensing something was amiss.
He immediately realized what was happening.
Hurriedly gathering his spiritual power, he formed a spiritual shield around his body, while turning around to control his Flawless Sword, attacking the cold gleam.
It was also at this moment that Lin Jing realized that the cold gleam attacking him was actually a flying sword.
âClang!â
With the sound of metal clashing, both flying swords were sent flying back.
Lin Jing reached out and caught the Flawless Sword in his hand.
However.
A tremendous force of energy backlash traveled up the blade.
Lin Jing was in mid-air, with no leverage to steady himself.
He was forced backward by the force of the backlash.
The other flying sword was also repelled by Lin Jing.
Since Lin Jing had only reacted in haste and didnât use his full strength,
Thereforeâ¦
He was at a slight disadvantage in the clash.
At the same time.
A voice sounded from within the Stone Forest:
âEh, strange?â
âI didnât expect you to actually block it?â
Hearing the voice, Lin Jingâs brows instantly furrowed.
And he thought to himself:
âHow could it be such a coincidence? To encounter him just after coming outâ¦â
This voice was all too familiar; Lin Jing could never forget it no matter what.
â¦
At this time.
Lin Jing had already landed from the sky, staring intently in the direction of the Stone Forestâ¦
There, a person was slowly walking out.
This personâ¦
Was none other than Liu Yiyuan who had just been teleported not long ago.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Unexpectedly, the random teleportation of the Formation had brought the two of them together.
Liu Yiyuan walked out of the Stone Forest, the corner of his mouth curling up, wearing an unrestrained smile:
âI never imagined I would encounter you here. How could it be so coincidental?â
âIâve imagined many times before, encountering you in various scenarios, then using all sorts of cruel methods to torture you to death slowlyâ¦â
At this point.
Liu Yiyuan turned his head to look around, and after a moment, turned his gaze back to Lin Jing, saying:
âBut I never expected it to be hereâ¦â
After speaking.
Liu Yiyuan also took the time to explain to Lin Jing:
âYou must knowâ¦â
âIâve wanted to kill you for a very, very long timeâ¦â
Lin Jingâs gaze was icy as he looked at Liu Yiyuan.
His face showed no sign of anger or panic.
How could he not know that Liu Yiyuan wanted to kill him?
The feeling of being constantly on someoneâs mind was indeed not pleasant.
And he.
How could he not want to eliminate this nuisance that was always after himâ¦
Liu Yiyuan, seeing Lin Jing not speaking and not bothering to respond, thought that in this place, with no one else around and with Lin Jingâs cultivation,
Lin Jing wouldnât be able to escape no matter what.
Then he went on to say to himself:
âThis place, no oneâ¦â
âI had already scouted it out before you arrived.â
âDying here, no one will know. You can rest in peace.â
Having said this.
Liu Yiyuan looked at Lin Jing with an assured posture of triumph, as if looking at prey, with a trace of cruelty at the corner of his mouth.
Facing Liu Yiyuan.
Lin Jing needed no further words.
In this place, with no outsiders present,
He definitely wouldnât miss the opportunity to kill his would-be murderer.
However.
Liu Yiyuan seemed to be overly confident.
In that last strike, Liu Yiyuan had revealed at least 60 to 70 percent of his cultivation.
In theory, even if he had used only half his cultivation, it wouldnât be something that an eighth level Qi Refinement like Lin Jing could withstand.
Just that he didnât know whyâ¦
Liu Yiyuan didnât delve deeper into the matter.
At that moment.
Liu Yiyuan looked down.
At the Flawless Sword in Lin Jingâs hand, then spoke:
âThat last strike, although intended to stop you, I still used 60 percent of my cultivation.â
âBut unexpectedly, you blocked it.â
âIt seems the sword in your hand, invisible and traceless as it is, must be significant. Even if itâs not a Magical Treasure, itâs probably not far offâ¦â
After speaking, Liu Yiyuan, full of confidence, professed:
âHoweverâ¦â
âThat Flying Sword will soon be mine!â
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingâs mouth twitched.
With a hint of mockery, he said to Liu Yiyuan:
âIf you want itâ¦â
âThen come and take it.â
At this point, Lin Jing no longer bothered to disguise himself.
Seeing Lin Jingâs arrogance, Liu Yiyuan snorted coldly and said:
âHmph!â
âIgnorant of both heaven and earth, seeking deathâ¦â
After speaking.
He directly controlled his flying sword, stabbing towards Lin Jing.
Seeing Liu Yiyuanâs flying sword coming at him, Lin Jingâs intention stirred, and the Flawless Sword flew up, piercing towards Liu Yiyuan.
This time.
He didnât hold back.
His Foundation Establishment fifth level cultivation burst forth fully, the speed of the Flawless Sword was swift, and in an instant, Liu Yiyuan was startled by its speed.
However.
Just as he started to react, the Flawless Sword had already charged to his face.
It was then.
A white light suddenly shone from Liu Yiyuanâs body, the Flawless Sword, initially stabbing towards him, was diverted off course by this white light before even touching him.
The source of the white lightâ¦
Was indeed the same Magical Treasure that had appeared on Liu Yiyuanâs body when facing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.
Once Liu Yiyuan recovered from the shock, he no longer cared about attacking Lin Jing.
He quickly retracted his flying sword and retreated a distance.
Lin Jing looked at the white light shield emitting from Liu Yiyuan, his brow furrowing, aware that if he didnât break through this White Light Shield, he probably wouldnât be able to kill him.
Now that his strength was exposed,
Liu Yiyuan must be killed; he absolutely couldnât let him escape.
On the other hand, Liu Yiyuan, at this moment, wore an expression of shock.
âNo⦠thatâs not rightâ¦â
âWhat⦠what cultivation level are youâ¦â
âYouâre definitely more than just Qi Refinement level eight.â
After the shock subsided, disbelief was written all over Liu Yiyuanâs face.
He could never have imagined that the ant he had thought he could easily crush had a higher cultivation than his own.
