It's Lonely To Be Invincible - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Going Back to Search the Corpses

At this moment, Lin Fan appeared where he was captured not too long ago. He glanced at the shriveled corpse for a moment before rummaging through it without a moment of delay. The man in gray might have been killed by Ming You, but Ming You didn’t confiscate his corpse. Obviously, he didn’t care about the meager stuff on him. But as for me, I won’t refuse these resources no matter how meager they are.

“Are you freaking kidding me!? So poor!? What a waste of time.” Lin Fan, opening the storage ring, lost all hopes after taking one glance. He immediately kicked the mummified corpse, reducing it into powder before heading in another direction.

The corpses of Jian Wuchen, Huang Xuandao, and the others might still be there. Jian Wuchen’s corpse is particularly special. With his cultivation, it’s impossible for him to have nothing.

After having gone through today’s events, he became even more aware that it was essential for one to be strong or else everything would be for naught.

He felt completely powerless before Ming You. I couldn’t move even an inch under the pressure of his two fingers. Ming You might have perished under the wrath of the heavens, but at the end of the day, that isn’t my strength.

If I came face to face with Jian Wuchen or Wan Zhongtian on the road, I’m afraid my fate would be even more miserable. Elder Tian Xu supports me, but now that I am out on practice, all of my fellow disciples want to kill me. Although they can’t come personally, they can send other disciples over.

This was the first time Lin Fan felt a sense of urgency.

Especially one month later when that religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect will come. After what I have done to Liu Ruochen and Liu Yue, those two women definitely won’t give up. With their strong backing, they might really ignore Elder Tian Xu and suppress me with the help of the religious brother.

Several shriveled corpses lay quietly before Lin Fan.

Lin Fan could not help but sigh at the sight of Jian Wuchen’s corpse. “Sigh, you brought this on yourself. You wanted to kill me, but you yourself have suffered rather than killing me. What a pity, what a pity!”

As he picked up his storage ring and went through it, a smile immediately appeared on his face. Although Jian Wuchen has been cultivating in the sect, he is still pretty wealthy. There are many medicines, as well as secret skillsets.

But these skillsets aren’t suitable for me. They are all related to swordsmanship, nothing more, and they are far worse than the Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

He now understood that it might be easy to earn points, but they were really not enough to master his skillsets. And since he had already chosen this path, he had to head into the darkness blind.

Huang Xuandao, Feng Qingyun, and Han Yuntao were stripped clean. Lin Fan got quite a good harvest of pills. Although they were all Mystic-class pills, several of them were pretty useful.

“Wait, where did those three guys go?” Lin Fan searched everywhere but couldn’t find the bodies of Luo Zhengyi and the others. This left him feeling puzzled. “It seems someone has survived and taken their corpses.”

Lin Fan pondered silently for a moment before throwing it to the back of his mind altogether; he didn’t give it much of a thought. Since I have come to the Thousand Deep Cave, I should quickly collect points and break through my current realm.

I am currently in the third stage of the Earth Star Border Realm, but if I bring my full strength into play, I can easily defeat an ordinary sixth-stage Earth Star Border Realm. However, those with robust foundation might be able to suppress me.

I am weak. I am really weak.

Having come face to face with his weakness and insignificance, Lin Fan turned it into motivation and started advancing his cultivation wholeheartedly.

At the periphery of the Thousand Deep Cave…

Mo Jingzhe had already escaped the Thousand Deep Cave, but he didn’t leave just yet. Come to think of it, what happened to that guy who got my friendship? Did he safely escape?

Just when he was thinking about this, several figures came rushing over. These figures were slightly flustered as if they were running for their lives.

Mo Jingzhe furrowed his brow before attacking them, taking them down at once. He had already recognized them; they were all the followers of the Divine Religion. “Tell me, where is my friend?”

These followers had seen the most terrifying scene in the world. They had already lost their wits in shock and fear. They immediately replied in panic, “I don’t know, let us go. Our Lord is dead.”

“Tell me, as long as you tell me the truth, I will let you guys go. I, Mo Jingzhe, keep my word. Did you catch the guy who was with me?” Mo Jingzhe asked these followers in a strict and serious voice.

In fact, Mo Jingzhe was a bit puzzled. Judging by their looks, it was quite clear that these people were in a panic as if they were running for their lives. He had no idea what was going on.

Only at this moment did the followers look clearly at Mo Jingzhe. They recognized who it was. “He was caught by us, but when we came out, the sky suddenly went dark and lightning rained down from the sky. Our Lord and your companion were struck by lightning; not even their ashes are left now.”

“What!?” Mo Jingzhe was stunned. His expression changed drastically as if he couldn’t believe it. “How could this happen? How can the person who got my, Mo Jingzhe’s, friendship die like that? Impossible!”

Then he stared at the followers. “Tell me where.”

A follower pointed toward the distance, extremely panicked. “There.”

In the blink of an eye, Mo Jingzhe’s figure disappeared from the followers’ line of sight as his figure zoomed into the distance. Only Mo Jingzhe’s voice rained in their ears.

“I, Mo Jingzhe, am a man of my words. Since I said I will let you live, you are free to go. But if you have fooled me, I will come looking for you.”

After hearing this, why would these followers stay here anymore? They breathed a long sigh of relief before they walked away from here.

Mo Jingzhe stood stupidly at the exit where Lin Fan and Ming You were struck by lightning, staring at the several pits before him. Even after so long, white smoke was rising from these pits. Even the power of lightning was still crackling around them.

Mo Jingzhe finally believed his friend was really killed by lightning.

“This is…!?” Mo Jingzhe looked down, gazing at a tattered piece of clothing on the ground. Although it had been scorched by the lightning, he could still tell that it was a piece of his friend’s clothing. Holding it in his hand, he felt extremely sad.

“My dear friend, my friend, I won’t let your remains rot in the wilderness. I will definitely bring the news of your death to the Magnificent Flame Sect. Had your fellow disciples not besieged you, you wouldn’t have encountered the people of the Divine Religion. The real murderer isn’t the lightning bolt, nor is it the Divine Religion, it’s your fellow disciples, as well as the Sunshine Sect.”

Mo Jingzhe muttered to himself before making up his mind. He glanced back at the Thousand Deep Cave, feeling melancholy.

I finally met a friend that was to my liking, but he is dead. Life is really uncertain.

“Sigh!”

He was a little flustered by these sentimental feelings.

A Divine Magma Horse came running from the distance and stopped before Mo Jingzhe. Mo Jingzhe climbed it immediately, staring at the front.

“Let’s go to the Magnificent Flame Sect.”

The divine horse let out a neigh before it disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, in the Thousand Deep Cave…

Lin Fan was gobbling down the pills he had just collected. His experience points started skyrocketing. He obtained about 300,000 experience points just from these pills.

The medicinal potency was wreaking havoc in his body even when he had completely refined all the pills.

There was a pill among them that surprised Lin Fan a bit. He never expected to find a low-grade Earth-class pill in Jian Wuchen’s collection – the Sword Pill of Fortune.

This pill could forge bones into sword bones. It contained sharp sword energy that was particularly beneficial to cultivators walking on the path of the sword. However, even if I don’t practice swordsmanship, it’s alright. I can still use it to practice my brute force skillsets. If I fight against someone now, this sword energy will seep out and catch the opponent by surprise.

However, Lin Fan went through a good amount of pain when he took it. If ordinary people took it, they would probably be ripped apart by this violent sword energy, but for Lin Fan, it wasn’t a problem.

Although it was only a low-grade Earth-class pill, it was very difficult to refine it. Since Jian Wuchen was keeping this pill instead of taking it, it’s obvious that he was waiting for the right moment.

But unfortunately, he died before he could find the right moment. I really hit it big.

After finishing this cultivation, I will have to gather points.

Several of the skillsets I got are pretty good. I need points to master them.

He wanted to master both Sonic Punch and the Divine Art of Startling Dragons. However, after having gone through today’s events, he realized that there were some skillsets that could not be mastered just by having enough points given his current strength, just like the Transformation into God Swordsmanship. I am not strong enough. My earth energy couldn’t support it. Rather, I got reduced to nothing. Therefore, the Magic of the Seven Gods will have to wait.

First, I have to lay a firm foundation, and finally, break through to the fourth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm.

Right then, bellows of monsters echoed in the depths of the cave, as if they were welcoming his arrival. Lin Fan chased after the source of the sound without a moment of hesitation, leaving afterimages.
