Lin Yi hid in the shrubbery for a while, and soon there was the sound of wind chimes not far away. His face tightened. Indeed, someone was following him, but he didn’t know if it was Zhang Yuan Cheng.
In the nearby shrubs and forests, he had placed twenty or thirty warning charms. Once these talisman templates were activated, any noise or air vibration around them would resonate with the talisman, triggering the wind chime warning.
Next, the chime sounds kept coming one after another, and the distance was getting closer. Evidently, the person who triggered the warning had given up hiding and was plainly on his way.
Lin Yi stood up, clutching a stack of talisman templates in his hand. He stared intently in the direction of the wind chimes. Soon, a man dressed in black appeared in his line of sight, completely covered as if afraid of being recognized by others.
“Who are you?” he took a step back and asked pretending to be uneasy.
The man in black slowly unveiled his disguise, revealing his true identity. He scoffed, “Number 38, Huang rank, you have been very cautious, setting up so many warning charms just to hunt a single Monster Beast on the periphery.”
“Manager Zhang, why are you dressed like this? Are you also here to hunt
Monster Beasts?” Lin Yi’s face changed drastically; his voice trembling. As
anticipated, Zhang Yuan Cheng had chosen to take matters into his own hands.
“Hahaha, number 38, Huang rank, there’s no need to pretend anymore. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. You’re not as innocent as you pretend to be.” Zhang Yuan Cheng laughed, having already recognized Lin Yi’s true motives. But what of it, their cultivation levels were apart by four to five layers, so he felt no fear.
A confused Lin Yi asked, “Manager Zhang, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Zhang Yuan Cheng smirked, “Still playing dumb even to the end, do you think people are stupid? You think I can’t see that you deliberately lured me here? Because you haven’t been to this Monster Beast area for a while. Come on, let’s see what techniques you have that could possibly kill me.”
With no need to play the innocent anymore, Lin Yi sighed and said, “Manager
Zhang, haven’t we reached an understanding and became friends?”
“Moreover, there’s no deep-seated hatred between us, just some minor disagreements. Do we really need to take it to this extreme? Instead of Cultivation, seeking the Immortal Way, is it interesting engaging in all this killing?”
Zhang Yuan Cheng looked gloomily at Lin Yi, “Cultivation is about having an open mind. Since the moment new orders were issued from the Sinong Palace, you have become a thorn in my side. I am always on edge, fearing your entrance into the Inner Sect from where you may retaliate.”
“I’ve told you before, I just want to quietly farm. Even if I move to the Inner Sect, I will not bother you,” Lin Yi replied calmly.
Zhang Yuan Cheng roared with laughter again; his eyes full of malice when looking at Lin Yi. “It’s easy to say now, but who knows what will happen in the future? For these reasons, I must strike while you’re still weak. Only by your death can I be free from the worries, allowing me to concentrate on my Cultivation.”
Lin Yi laughed bitterly at the phrase “open mind.” Using it to justify homicide. He calmly stared at Zhang Yuan Cheng, “Manager Zhang, this all started because you provoked me, not the other way around. I promise to avoid causing you trouble in the future. Can we shake hands, call it even and have you leave as if nothing has happened today?”
“At this point, do you think that’s possible? Make your move. Let’s see what tactics can a Qi Refining third stage cultivator possess.” Zhang Yuan Cheng said coldly, holding a Magic Treasure Sword in his hand.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi flicked several talisman templates with his fingers. The aura leaps between the trees in the forest, activating the pre-set talisman templates. Instantly, countless tree branches turned into vines, tightly entwining Zhang Yuan Cheng’s body. The ground under his feet became softer, causing his legs to sink and making it impossible to pull them out.
Next, he launched several Smoke Talismans, mixed with his own developed poisonous powder. The moment the smoke rose, dozens of Raging Fire Talismans were activated from his hand, turning into balls of fire and bombarding Zhang Yuan Cheng.
As he continuously launched talismans with one hand, he released Geng Metal Finger Energy with the other. The golden energy shot out like sword lights and directly hacked at Zhang Yuan Cheng.
“Good boy, you’ve got a lot of tricks. Where did you get so many powerful talismans? And why is your Geng Metal Finger Energy so intense? It’s like a sword light.” An astonished voice came from the smoke, Lin Yi’s offensive methods seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
Suddenly, a few coughs could be heard from inside. “Cough, Cough. This Smoke
Talisman even contains poison. You sly kid.”
Without hesitation, Lin Yi continued his onslaught, launching talisman templates into the smoke.
“Enough, I thought you were hiding your cultivation level. But you’re still just a small Qi Refining third stage. You think these tactics are enough to kill a Qi refining eighth stage Cultivator? How naive!” A roar echoed from within the smoke.
Then a gust of wind blew, displacing the smoke instantly. Zhang Yuan Cheng was standing unharmed at his original location. He had broken free from the restricting Binding Charms, albeit looking a little shabby from all the attack talismans..
