Watching their subtle movements, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile lightly and say, "Relax, this time, I won’t run!"
Upon hearing this, both Lin Zhengyue and Lin Zhengyang were taken aback. They had clearly exhibited killing intent, was something wrong with Ling Chen’s brain? He had just broken through their tracking technique and now he claimed he would no longer flee?
"No, this brat must be up to some trick!"
The two men understood each other without words.
Previously, Ling Chen claimed he was recovering his Spiritual Power but then suddenly achieved a breakthrough.
This time, they couldn’t be fooled by his tricks again.
Seeing their disbelief, Ling Chen shook his head and asked, "I still don’t know your names?"
"Lin Zhengyue, Lin Zhengshan."
Ling Chen nodded and commented, "Never heard of them."
"Hmph, the whole Guangling City has heard about your reputation as a good-for-nothing," Lin Zhengyue retorted.
Ling Chen smiled lightly and said, "This good-for-nothing has defeated Lin Zhengyu and even caused two eighth-level Qi Condensation Cultivators to pursue and attempt to kill him. What a hopeless case indeed!"
This self-deprecating remark left Lin Zhengyue and the other speechless.
Ling Chen was only fourteen years old, yet his cultivation had reached the sixth layer of Qi Condensation realm, and he had even successfully trained in a superior Body Technique. If that made him a good-for-nothing, then what did that make them? Trash not even worth mentioning?
"Alright, don’t you two want to kill me? Who’s going to make a move then?"
Ling Chen said, with a light-hearted smile.
There was even a sort of grandeur as if he were instructing the world!
Having advanced to the seventh layer of the Qi Condensation realm, Ling Chen was bursting with energy and ready to fight against eighth-layer Qi Condensation Cultivators.
At the same time, he signaled with his eyes, telling Lin Zhengshan to be ready to intervene at any moment.
There was no truth to this brat’s words; they had to be prepared. Who knew if this kid might try to escape again? If he did get away, finding him would become much harder.
Ling Chen nodded slightly.
Lin Zhengyue stood with his hands behind his back.
If he made a move, Ling Chen might not even have the capability to fight back.
Moreover, he wanted to see just how talented this Ling Chen really was.
Even though Ling Chen had broken through a level right before his eyes, he was still insignificant in his presence.
Because he was an eighth-layer formidable Qi Condensation Cultivator!
Ling Chen didn’t refuse.
"White Crane Blue Sky Technique!"
Ling Chen shouted loudly, circulating his Spiritual Power to his legs; with a movement, he shot towards Lin Zhengyue like a bolt of lightning.
"Indeed, it’s a superior movement technique!"
Lin Zhengyue commented.
Executed with the power of the seventh level of the Qi Condensation realm, his speed was indeed faster than theirs.
If they had pursued him before, Ling Chen would have had no chance to escape.
But why waste Spiritual Power if he has a map in hand?
He enjoyed the sensation of making his enemies despair!
Watching Ling Chen’s figure rapidly approaching, Lin Zhengyue’s face showed no fear.
Pure Black Spiritual Power flowed through a mysterious trajectory inside Ling Chen’s body, converging at the fingertip of his right index finger, where a dazzling black light erupted.
Following that, Ling Chen pointed his finger out.
And, he aimed the attack at Lin Zhengyue’s eyes.
"Not bad for a superior Attack Spiritual Technique!"
Lin Zhengyue once again gave his comments, and at the same time raised his right hand to launch a Heart-shattering Palm towards Ling Chen’s fingers.
Heart-shattering Palm, a mid-grade Attack Spiritual Technique!
Dealing with Ling Chen, there was no need to start off with using a high-grade Spirit Art like a heavy hitter.
Feeling the Spirit Art being used by Lin Zhengyue, Ling Chen revealed a hint of a scheming smile at the corner of his mouth and pointed a finger at the palm of the former’s hand.
A deafening sound erupted.
Suddenly, Lin Zhengyue let out a scream of agony.
His right palm was pierced through, and blood flowed freely.
"How is this possible?"
Lin Zhengshan’s face was filled with disbelief.
Lin Zhengyue was at the eighth level of the Qi Condensing Stage, surely he shouldn’t be unable to block a high-grade Spirit Art from Ling Chen, even if he was using a mid-grade Spirit Art?
Lin Zhengyu was completely dumbfounded.
Ling Chen seized the opportunity without any hesitation, sending a whip kick towards Lin Zhengyue’s waist.
"Sky Shattering Kick!"
Another high-grade Spirit Art.
Severely injured, Lin Zhengyue couldn’t react in time and was directly hit, the sound of breaking bones emanating from his waist.
Lin Zhengyue was kicked and sent flying.
But Ling Chen was relentless, without any reservation of his Spiritual Power, equivalent to that of the eighth level of the Qi Condensing Stage, he directly executed the White Crane Blue Sky Technique, a "Mountain Opening Palm" directly bombished on Lin Zhengyue’s head.
Like a watermelon splitting open, blood spurted wildly, and Lin Zhengyue was dead beyond any doubt!
This combination of moves was precisely the ultimate skill Ling Chen had prepared.
During his time hunting spirit beasts, he had often pondered over such techniques.
Although his Spiritual Power was formidable, his weakness was also apparent—insufficient robustness of Spiritual Power.
Facing a tough opponent, as time went on, he would gradually be at a disadvantage. That’s why he had been contemplating this technique.
Previously, he had only tried with mid-grade Spirit Arts; this was actually the first time he had tried with a high-grade Spirit Art.
Unexpectedly, the first attempt turned out to be surprisingly effective.
Lin Zhengyue didn’t even have time to react before he was killed.
Of course, this was also predicated on the fact that when he previously used the White Crane Blue Sky Technique, he had only utilized Spiritual Power equivalent to the seventh level of the Qi Condensing Stage, deliberately inducing Lin Zhengyue to think he was a Cultivator on par with the seventh level of the Qi Condensing Stage.
Executing the high-grade Spirit Art five times in a row, especially two high-grade Body Technique Spirit Arts, consumed a great deal of Spiritual Power.
Hence, Ling Chen took advantage of the momentary stupor of the two Lin Zhengshans to immediately open his special constitution and recover Spiritual Power.
As his special constitution was fully activated, the nature’s spiritual energy from around several dozens of meters in radius crazily surged toward Ling Chen. The windy flow of the Spiritual Energy had even caused the robes of the two Lin Zhengshans to flutter loudly.
By the time Lin Zhengshan recovered from the shock of Lin Zhengyue’s death, he was again overwhelmed by this terrifying anomaly of Cultivation.
Such a commotion was absolutely something only a Spiritual Body capable of cultivation could cause.
Did the Ling Family really say Ling Chen’s awakening failed, taking them for fools?
It seemed Lin Zhengshan had no intention to make a move, and Ling Chen was quite content, taking the opportunity to recover his Spiritual Power.
By the time Lin Zhengshan fully came back to his senses, Ling Chen had already restored one-fifth of his Spiritual Power.
To this, even Ling Chen himself felt quite astonished.
The concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Endless Forest was, in fact, higher than in Guangling City. Moreover, the deeper into the forest, the richer the Spiritual Energy.
This area was already a gathering zone for sixth-order spirit beasts, which was why he could recover his Spiritual Power so quickly.
"You little bastard, you’re courting death! How dare you kill someone from the Lin Family!"
Lin Zhengshan stared down Ling Chen.
Actually, once he calmed down and analyzed the situation, he would realize that Ling Chen’s killing of Lin Zhengyue was nothing more than taking advantage by surprise.
If Lin Zhengyue hadn’t been careless at the start and directly used a high-grade Spirit Art, then perhaps Ling Chen wouldn’t have been able to kill Lin Zhengyue!
"Heh, what a grand joke! Your Lin Family’s people wanted to kill me, should I have just let you kill me? I killed your people, and now I deserve to die?"
Since Lin Zhengshan wasn’t making a move, he wasn’t planning to either, deciding to first restore his Spiritual Power.
If Lin Zhengshan wanted to argue with him, then argue they shall.
