Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 202 – Narrowly escape death

Lin Jichen seized the opportunity and dashed outside!

Amidst the chaos, Lin Jichen, an unremarkable Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, managed to slip out of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect's encirclement and fled into the distance.

Liang Baiye sensed something was wrong. From the start, he had a feeling that Lin Jichen looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But he couldn't quite place it.

Upon closer inspection of Lin Jichen's back, he realized that it looked almost identical to the Buddhist cultivator who had saved Fang Qingzhu. Moreover, the key point was that this person's cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Damn it! Fooled again!

Liang Baiye realized he had been deceived, but Lin Jichen was already far away.

He suddenly remembered that when Lin Jichen had escaped right under his nose, it was silent and without leaving a single footprint.

Combining this with the earlier disappearance of the Thunder Dragon's corpse, which also left no footprints on the ground, Liang Baiye's mind suddenly cleared, and the truth became evident!

"Catch him! It's him!"

Liang Baiye was furious, his figure soared into the sky, and he was about to chase after Lin Jichen at high speed!

At this moment, a blood-soaked figure suddenly appeared beside him.

"Protector Liang, what's going on? I told you to stop everyone, not to start a fight here."

Liang Baiye's figure paused, trembling slightly. He turned his head and saw that it was Li Xinghun.

Li Xinghun coldly stared at Liang Baiye. He hadn't instructed Liang Baiye to act; in the Thunder Marsh, killing was no problem.

But outside the Thunder Marsh, in a place where so many cultivators were gathered, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect couldn't act recklessly.

If they started a massacre in front of everyone, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect would become the target of all.

Moreover, among these cultivators, there were quite a few from other demonic sects who had good relations with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Cold sweat broke out on Liang Baiye's back. He hurriedly explained, "Young Master, it wasn't my doing. I found the guy who stole the Thunder Dragon's corpse!"

"Where is he?" Li Xinghun immediately asked.

"He ran that way!" Liang Baiye pointed in the direction Lin Jichen had fled.

"You useless fool!" Li Xinghun slapped him, sending him flying. Then he burst into pursuit!

Liang Baiye didn't dare to make a sound, even though seven or eight of his teeth were knocked out. He could only endure the pain and quickly follow.

He had to catch Lin Jichen. If he let him escape, Li Xinghun wouldn't let him off easily.

At the same time, Liang Baiye was filled with hatred for Lin Jichen. This Foundation Establishment novice had ruined his plans twice. He swore to grind Lin Jichen's bones to dust!

"This kid is a Sword Cultivator, not a Buddhist Cultivator at all!"

Liang Baiye was furious. Because of this, he had killed several Buddhist cultivators in the Thunder Marsh, and one of them had already reported the matter back to the Buddhist Sect.

He had gained a bunch of Buddhist enemies for no reason.

Damn it!

The small border town was not far from the Thunder Marsh, and Lin Jichen, flying at full speed, was almost there.

Lin Jichen breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as he could enter the town and use the teleportation array to leave, he would be completely safe.

But just at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Turning his head, he saw a figure rapidly approaching from the distance.

At first, it was just a black dot, but soon, he could see the figure's outline.

Damn! It's Li Xinghun!

He was still being pursued.

Li Xinghun also saw Lin Jichen.

Although he didn't recognize him, he could sense the spiritual energy and the Thunder Dragon's aura on Lin Jichen.

He sneered coldly, "It's you!"

Then he accelerated even more.

Lin Jichen's heart raced, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

With his current strength, he had no chance of winning.

Run! He had to run!

"Wind Thunder Sword!"

Lin Jichen accelerated again, the passive effect of the Wind Thunder Sword doubling his speed, and he disappeared from sight.

Li Xinghun frowned and also sped up!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Jichen had reached the small border town. From a distance, he could see the teleportation array right in front of him.

Fang Qingzhu was waiting for him at the town entrance.

Seeing him safe, Fang Qingzhu was overjoyed and was about to greet him when she noticed Li Xinghun behind Lin Jichen.

Her face changed dramatically!

"Run!" Lin Jichen roared, not slowing down at all.

Fang Qingzhu, seeing this, cast a ray of light onto Lin Jichen.

[Empowerment Technique!]

[All combat attributes +30 points! Duration: 30 seconds!]

Lin Jichen's speed increased again.

Fang Qingzhu had already reached the teleportation array.

Lin Jichen dived down, and Li Xinghun in the sky realized what Lin Jichen was about to do.

He roared in anger, his whole body like a fiery meteor, rushing down!

Fang Qingzhu had just placed the Spirit Stones into the array's core, but the teleportation hadn't started yet.

It seemed they wouldn't make it!

At this life-and-death moment!

Lin Jichen forced himself to calm down and swung his sword backward!

"Frost Moon Slash!"

Li Xinghun thought Lin Jichen was trying to force him back. He sneered and let the Sword Qi hit him, determined to continue the chase.

His target was the teleportation array. As long as he destroyed the array's core, Lin Jichen would have no escape!

The Sword Qi struck Li Xinghun, not even leaving a white mark.

Let alone injuring him.

[MISS! -0!]

Just as Li Xinghun was smugly smiling, he suddenly felt a chill, his whole body encased in ice!

[Frozen Status triggered! Duration: three seconds!]

Lin Jichen was ecstatic. Although there was no damage, the passive effect of the Frost Moon Slash had successfully triggered!

He turned and entered the teleportation array.

"It's okay, three seconds is enough for us to leave." Lin Jichen smiled at Fang Qingzhu.

But Fang Qingzhu's eyes were still fixed on Li Xinghun behind them.

She exclaimed, "Look!"

Lin Jichen turned back, his soul almost leaving his body!

He saw that the ice on Li Xinghun's body had shattered in less than a second.

Damn! This guy's toughness is too high!

Lin Jichen and Fang Qingzhu both broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, the teleportation array began to activate, enveloping them in a pillar of light, about to transport them away.

Li Xinghun, freed from the ice, summoned a long spear and hurled it down!

The spear shot through the air like an arrow!

Carrying terrifying destructive spiritual energy, it aimed straight for the core of the teleportation array!

It's over!

Lin Jichen and Fang Qingzhu both showed expressions of despair.

Boom!

The spear struck, hitting the teleportation array's core with pinpoint accuracy.

The core was destroyed, and the entire teleportation array failed.

But just before the array was destroyed.

In less than half a second, Lin Jichen and Fang Qingzhu's figures had already faded and disappeared!

When the core was destroyed, Li Xinghun looked down, but Lin Jichen and Fang Qingzhu were nowhere to be seen.

Just a moment too late, and Lin Jichen had escaped right under his nose.

Even if he wanted to chase now, it was useless. The array was destroyed, and by the time it was repaired, Lin Jichen would likely be far out of Yongning Province.

Li Xinghun descended, coldly surveying the scene, motionless, but his killing intent made all the nearby cultivators shiver.

At this moment, Liang Baiye finally arrived.
