Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Out in the wild, Cao Ying's attention was quickly diverted by Lin Jiang. There were so many fun things outside, like rabbits, sparrows, grasshoppers, fish, and all sorts of toys. Wasn't that more fun than big birds?

Lin Jiang played with Cao Ying while three people slowly approached from behind. One person was building a foundation, the other two were refining qi, and they were staring at Lin Jiang and Cao Ying from a distance.

"Sir, do you want to take action?"

"You two, slowly get closer to him. If you can catch him, do so. If you can't, then kill him. Keep the little one alive, we'll use him to threaten Cao Yang's wife."

The person in the building foundation period said, "The investigation the organization conducted earlier was indeed correct. Cao Yang's neighbor is indeed part of her group. Unfortunately, we underestimated Cao Yang's wife's strength and Han Chunming ended up dying in vain."

He naturally believed that Zhang Ruifang killed Han Chunming. Qi refining period killing building foundation period only exists in the talented disciples of the major sects. When did independent cultivators gain such power?

"Cao Ying, come here."

Lin Jiang sensed someone approaching and waved to Cao Ying. Cao Ying happily bounced over and Lin Jiang reached out to cover her eyes.

"Uncle is playing hide-and-seek with you. You can't open your eyes, okay?"

"Okay, uncle. Make sure you hide well."

"You won't be able to find me."

Lin Jiang laughed and said, then cast a spell to block Cao Ying's vision and hearing. Children shouldn't see so many bloody things.

"Kill them."

Lin Jiang released Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao, and pointed them in the right direction.

"Ying..."

Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao let out a terrifying cry, causing the two sneaking individuals to suddenly startle, exposing their presence.

"Aurora falcon"

Someone shouted in alarm, trying to escape, but it was too late. The Aurora falcon swooped down from a height of tens of meters, faster than an arrow, flying past the two individuals' heads. Its claws tore through their protective energy and their heads.

"How is that possible?"

From afar, during the early stages of construction, they saw the Aurora falcon. The expression on their face froze instantly. This was a second-level Aurora falcon. How could a Qi Refining Period person have a second-level beast pet, let alone two?

"Who are you, sir?"

Lin Jiang arrived in front of the Building Foundation Period, and the two Shadiao birds had already begun to circle in the sky.

"I'm saying this is a misunderstanding, do you believe me?"

"Guess if I believe you or not."

"Alright, we didn't come for the taoist friend. The taoist friend can hand over the child in their arms to me, and we'll pretend this never happened."

"Where do you get the confidence to think I would hand over someone?"

"Just an Aurora falcon, it's no match for me."

"Is that so?"

"I said it, I meant it"

Before the words of Building Foundation Period were finished, the person had already moved. He knew the characteristics of Aurora falcon. Once it starts running, it is a certain death. His speed cannot be faster than Aurora falcon.

So his only hope is to kill or catch Lin Jiang. But unfortunately, Lin Jiang came in front of him, at such a short distance, he is definitely faster than Aurora falcon.

"One Sword Flying Immortal"

"Explosive Element Technique"

Lin Jiang was already prepared and ready. As soon as the opponent made a move, he immediately unleashed the Explosive Element Technique, and then displayed the Sword of the Immortal Flying. He had been practicing this move for many years, and finally mastered it.

The flying sword transformed into a stream of light, directly piercing towards the opponent. Building Foundation Period was completely dismissive. With the skills of Qi Refining Period, how much strength can it have? It casually released a burst of light, intending to deflect Lin Jiang's flying sword.

"*sound effect*"

However, the flying sword was like poking through a window paper, tearing apart the burst of light, its momentum unabated, continuing forward. Building Foundation Period's face turned pale, hastily summoning a defensive shield.

"Boom"

The flying sword pierced through the magic shield, and both the person and the shield were forcefully thrown out.

This luxurious approach made the assassins very uncomfortable. The average price of a first-level premium spiritual talisman is ten spirit stones. The ones with more attack power may even be a bit more expensive. Lin Jiang threw out more than ten at once, which means it cost over a hundred spirit stones.

As for assassins, besides the few who have achieved fame, most of them are poor, who might only have one set of flying swords, daggers, or shields. If they get destroyed, they might be left with nothing.

Therefore, faced with Lin Jiang's luxurious approach, the five assassins in the Qi Refining Period focused on avoiding and felt restricted. Judging from the situation, Lin Jiang seemed to have the upper hand.

"Hidden."

One assassin couldn't stand it anymore, put away their shield, and used an invisibility charm on themselves. Then they kept changing positions, trying to get closer to Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang's senses are much stronger than theirs. After years of practicing the Soul Refining Technique, he had already seen through their traces, right at the moment he approached.

"One Sword Flying Immortal"

"Explosive Element Technique"

Lin Jiang once again executed the technique of the Immortal Who Flies with a Single Sword, the flying sword turned into a streak of light, directly piercing through him.

"Return"

This move by Lin Jiang also exposed a flaw to the others. The remaining four people instantly surged forward, but Lin Jiang manipulated the flying sword to turn back, and his spiritual talisman in his hand was activated once again.

Without using the Technique of Explosive Elements, Lin Jiang's strength was almost on par with theirs, and he successfully pushed them back.

"Be careful, it's the Qianque Crossbow"

In the next moment, Lin Jiang shot out a crossbow arrow, someone shouted that the Qianque Crossbow still had great power within the Qi Refining Period, its arrows were capable of penetrating armor, and ordinary shields were difficult to withstand.

"Bang"

The crossbow arrow was blocked by a magical shield, but the silver needle hidden in the arrow hit its target, piercing through the person's temple, causing them to collapse.

The remaining three people looked at Lin Jiang in shock. They had thought he was a harmless little lamb, but when they tried to attack him, they realized he was actually a fierce tiger, and his methods were even darker than theirs, resembling an assassin.

"Chase him into the forest."

Among the remaining three people, someone shouted. They didn't want Zhang Ruifang to enter the forest because Zhang Ruifang was even more skilled than them, a superior assassin. If Zhang Ruifang went in, they would be putting their lives in danger.

But Lin Jiang wasn't an assassin. If they entered the forest, it would be Lin Jiang who would be risking his life.

The three immediately changed their strategy, attacking together to force Lin Jiang to retreat, step by step, toward the direction of the forest.

"Ying..."

Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao couldn't restrain themselves any longer. They kept circling in the sky, making eerie screeches, assuming an attacking posture.

But those later-stage assassins were not at all afraid of their tricks, and it didn't shake them at all.

"A brute is just a brute."

The later-stage assassin was a bit disdainful. When he saw Aurora Falcon preparing to attack him, he was one step ahead and flew into the air with two spiritual talismans tied to his flying sword. Then, the talismans were activated and two fire dragons appeared. Aurora Falcon saw the flames coming and panicked, quickly flying higher to avoid the pursuing sword.

"Ying..."

Aurora Falcon became more and more anxious, even its cries were a bit chaotic. Lin Jiang hurriedly secretly comforted them, telling them not to be in a rush. Just by keeping an eye on that later-stage assassin was already the biggest contribution.

Lin Jiang approached the forest step by step. As soon as he entered the forest, the three assassins instantly disappeared. They were masters at hiding themselves in the environment.

Lin Jiang took out a helmet from his storage bag and put it on. This helmet also protected his neck. Ever since he found out that assassins liked to go for the neck, Lin Jiang had bought this thing. This was the first time he used it.

"Puchi..."

One of the assassins couldn't help but make a move. He jumped down from a tree and saw Lin Jiang wearing the helmet, protecting his neck. The assassin stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

But with this stab, he knew something was wrong, the dagger didn't go through.

"Flop"

Lin Jiang stabbed him in the neck with a sword, then kicked him out.

He touched his chest and pulled out the dagger, he was wearing three layers of clothes made of special silk woven by spiritual silkworms, and two layers of armor, so it wasn't easy to penetrate.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)

To save his life, Lin Jiang thought he was excellent.
