A white light flashed in front of her as she stared in shock.

Lu Yi Wen was frightened out of his wits. He subconsciously moved his body to block.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, a dagger flew out of his hand.

The dagger in Lu Yiwen's right hand was cut off in a flash by Lin Cheng. It was cut off at the wrist!

Ahhh!

A shrill scream came out from Lu Yi Wen's mouth. She was so shocked that she quickly retreated and screamed out, "You! You're not poisoned!"

A dagger appeared out of nowhere in Lin Cheng's hand, flickering with a cold light. His expression was equally cold as he said, "With such a small trick, you can't even fool a three year old child, and you're still trying to trick me!"

Lu Yi Wen was inwardly shocked. With a crazy look on his face, he screamed: "This is impossible! "I saw you drink it with my own eyes …"

Her words came to an abrupt halt because she suddenly remembered that when Lin City was drinking water, she looked around her surroundings. She did not personally witness Lin City drinking water, but she saw him drinking water.

"Lin Cheng, what happened today …"

She absolutely did not expect that Lin City was not poisoned, which made her heart sink.

Even though she was already at the 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm and could be considered an expert, she did not dodge Lin Cheng's sudden attack. This made her realize that Lin Cheng was not much weaker than her.

Normally, even if they were fighting face to face, Lu Yi Wen wouldn't be afraid of Lin City. But now, she had suffered a huge loss in just one exchange. One of her hands was cut off by Lin City, and she had even lost her weapon.

"Lin Cheng, no matter what, I saved you just now. Now, let's give up …"

Before Lu Yi Wen could finish his words, he was interrupted in an instant.

Lin Cheng did not waste any more time speaking as the elemental energy in his body suddenly exploded. The Seven Stars Cloud-Stepping Steps instantly unfurled as the short sword in his hand pierced forward like a bolt of lightning.

The first move of the "Scorching Sun Saber", deboning!

"No …"

However, she was horrified to discover that Lin City was too fast. She couldn't even dodge Lin City's attack, and the sword images that filled the sky enveloped her completely in an instant.

Puff!

As the sword light flashed, the terrified expression on Louis' face froze, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Then, a stream of blood appeared on his neck. Her eyes were fixed on him with disbelief in her eyes. She let out a weird 'eh' sound and fell backwards onto the ground.

Plop!

He fell back to the ground, his body twitching and dead.

Lin Cheng retracted his dagger, his countenance ice-cold.

He had not wanted to kill him, even if he had been used by him, but he was already dead. If this Lu Yiwen wasn't so vicious, he wouldn't have bothered to care about him.

However, not only did Lu Yiwen want to kill him, he also wanted to torture him. Thus, Lin City no longer showed the slightest mercy.

However, after killing Lu Yiwen, Lin City could not help but feel a lingering fear.

If he wasn't an alchemist and was extremely familiar with all kinds of medicinal properties, then he would have definitely been schemed against by Lu Yi Wen today, and the only outcome would be death.

Lin City coldly glanced at Lu Yi Wen's corpse, put away his dagger, turned around and left.

East Continent Academy.

Shui Ani's face was ice-cold. In front of her, a few servants lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe. They were afraid of enraging Shui Ani.

"He lost him?"

Shui Ani asked coldly, "That trash is just a little martial artist at the Body River stage. How could you, a few Pulse Wheel Realm martial artists, lose him?"

The servants lowered their heads, feeling their faces burning.

"Patriarch Seven, that kid is really too cunning. He seemed to be prepared for us, and if he makes any mistakes, he would just squeeze into the crowd. We wanted to chase him but were hindered by those participants, so we lost him in the end."

The leader of the servants explained carefully, "We have not given up on investigating him. We have searched all the places that outsiders could go, but we could not find any trace of him. We suspect that he has already left the academy and escaped."

"Escape?"

Shui Ani frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Our relay stations are on all the official roads around the academy. Where can a mere Body Reaching Realm martial artist like him escape to?"

"This …"

The servants were speechless.

"Keep searching. No matter what method you use, you must find him!"

"Yes sir!"

The servants answered immediately. The servant in the lead hesitated for a moment before he asked carefully, "Seventh Elder, if that kid escapes to Boundless forest …"

Shui Ani looked at him coldly. "You want to escape to the Boundless Forest?"

The lead servant was stunned for a moment before reacting. If that kid had escaped to Boundless Forest, that would be great. With how dangerous Boundless Forest was, as long as that kid went in, they wouldn't even need to make a move. They were already destined to be unable to leave.

"Continue investigating, and send people to look around the outskirts of Boundless Forest. That kid might be trash, but if we're careful, we can still survive in the outer perimeter of Boundless Forest."

"Yes sir!"

Watching the servants leave in a hurry, Shui Ani couldn't help but snort coldly, "A few trash!"

She was a little regretful. Previously, she had decided to kill Lin City so that he wouldn't hinder her cultivation and future, so she decided to get rid of Lin City as soon as possible.

However, she was worried that Zhu Qiuyang would find out about her master in the future, so she did not directly take action. She did not send any teachers or students, but instead handed over the task to the servants beside her.

In her opinion, these few servants had been following her for several years. Regardless of whether it was their cultivation or their intelligence, they were not inferior to ordinary students. Asking them to deal with that trash from the Lin City was even a waste.

However, the result made Shui Ani furious. Lin City's trash had actually escaped.

This meant that trash like him might come back one day. At that time, if he was at the critical point of his breakthrough, he would very likely destroy her.

No matter what, he had to kill that trash!

A trace of killing intent flashed across Shui Ani's eyes.

Outside Boundless Forest.

Lin City was quickly walking along the edge of the cold and gloomy forest, and Yongan City had already entered his line of sight.

Although she wanted to plot against him, the information she provided was still very useful to Lin City. For example, if not for Lu Yi Wen's reminder, Lin City wouldn't have known that the relay stations near the East State Academy were all part of the East State Academy, and they all had their eyes on it.

With Lu Yi Wen's warning, Lin City avoided the relay stations of the East Continent Academy as much as possible, and carefully walked around the outer perimeter of the Boundless Forest.

Lin City was going to a place not too far away from Yongan City. That was the first time he and Zhui Qiaoqiao had entered the Boundless Forest. He had told Zhujiu that he would leave something here for her.

More than two hours later.

Lin City had finally arrived at their destination. He looked around to make sure that there was no one around before arriving at a big tree.

Looking at the huge tree, Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

The day when he and Zhuzi Qiuxiu arrived here, they were resting on this very tree. Now, when they returned, he was the only one left.

He quickly dug a hole under the tree and took out a bag from his storage bag. Inside the bag were a few bottles of Returning Energy Pills and a few dozen bottles of Three Treasures Pill. Afterwards, Lin Cheng also put the remaining three spirit stones into the bag.

Previously, Lin City had obtained a spirit stone from Chu Quanwei's storage bag. On his way to the East State Academy, he had used up a total of five to cultivate and open up his meridians. By the time he reached the East State Academy, he had opened up a total of thirty meridians.

As a result, there were only three spirit stones left.

However, these three spirit stones were more than enough for the bamboo to use. The first time Lin City had used spirit stones to cultivate, just one spirit stone was enough for him to break through.

This was a spirit stone that only cultivators could use to cultivate. The dense Spiritual Qi contained within was shockingly dense for ordinary cultivators.

For martial artists below the Arterial Circulation Realm, even if they were seriously injured, a single spirit stone was enough to restore them to their peak condition.

As for martial artists at the Arterial Circulation Realm and above, although Lin Cheng had never personally experienced or even seen them, he reckoned that one spirit stone should be more than enough.

"I hope you won't use any of these things!"

Looking at the pills and spirit stones in his bag, Lin Cheng couldn't help mumbling to himself, whether it was the Returning Energy Pill or the Three Treasures Pill, they both used them after consuming their elemental energy.

Either that, or the bamboo was severely injured.

Lin City didn't want to see either of these situations.

After burying the bundle, Lin Cheng carried his dagger and strode into Boundless Forest.

Now that I'm no longer worried about the future, I can go find the Azure Flame without a second thought." Lin City walked into the depths of Boundless Forest.

However, right now, Lin City was already on high alert. The outer perimeter of Boundless Forest only had wild beasts roaming about, but after entering the forest, they could run into demon beasts. This was the real danger.

No matter how fierce an ordinary beast might be, it would only rely on that fierce force to kill its prey. However, a demon beast was completely different; compared to a wild beast, a demon beast already possessed intelligence. Even the lowest level demon beast could absorb heaven and earth's origin energy to cultivate.

It could be said that demonic beasts and wild beasts were already two different species.

The most frightening thing about demon beasts was that they were born with a natural advantage over humans in certain aspects. At the very least, they were born with a much stronger body than humans.

For example, some demon beasts that could fly, with their own advantage and because they could also train, their flying speed was as fast as lightning. Once they exploded, they could kill their prey in the blink of an eye.

Thus, even the bravest adventurer could only gather medicinal herbs and hunt in the outer regions of the Boundless Forest.

As for the depths of the Boundless Forest, even the masters of the Arterial Circulation Realm and above would not dare to step foot there easily. At the very least, only cultivators of the Danhai Realm or above would have the power to protect themselves.

Lin Cheng took a deep breath and walked forward warily as these thoughts flashed through his mind.

The place he was heading towards was a cliff in the depths of the Boundless Forest. The azure flames were there in the valley below the cliff. That place could be said to be the deepest place in the entire Boundless Forest.

With Lin City's current strength, it would be extremely dangerous to reach there.

However, he did not hesitate in the slightest. In his previous life, he did not have any cultivation, and after going through all the difficulties and dangers, he still managed to reach that place, but now, he was already at the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm. Although he could not be considered an expert, he had already used a certain amount of strength to protect himself.
