Chapter 828: Chapter 823: Holy Envoy and Mistress (Third Update!)
True Qi surged like waves around Lin Tian, and the attacks unleashed by the two mid-stage Foundation Establishment black-robed men seemed as ineffective as stones sinking into the sea.
Meanwhile, in mid-air, the sharp sword formed by True Qi was already slashing down towards Xue Chengchun.
“Ah… you dare to kill me!”
Xue Chengchun’s face turned horrified, his scream filled with terror.
He was only at the Qi Refining Ninth Level, with decent talent, and everyone around the Ancient Medicine Sect treated him with respect and fear.
Supporting him was the Ancient Medicine Sect and the terrifying Holy Gu Sect!
Not to mention killing him, even slight disobedience made others tremble in fear.
Yet the young man in front of him struck with a sword without even questioning!
But he had no chance to discover Lin Tian’s identity, the sword was too fast, and with a swish, cut him in half.
The two black-robed men instantly became enraged, a fierce green aura roared from their bodies, rushing towards Lin Tian, trying to engulf him.
“Poisonous Insect Poison! Members of the Holy Gu Sect!”
This poison was very strange, Lin Tian didn’t dare to act recklessly and retreated quickly.
However, the two black-robed men also did not pursue, they looked at each other, their expressions dubious, unable to discern Lin Tian’s depth.
Mid-stage Foundation Establishment?
Or did he use a Jade Talisman or a treasure?
The aura Lin Tian erupted with just now was terrifying, but now they couldn’t detect any trace of aura from Lin Tian’s body.
Over there, the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Medicine Sect, Peng Haokong, and Duan Boxin both halted and looked on in astonishment.
Peng Haokong’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly returned, looking at Xue Chengchun’s corpse on the ground, cut in half, his eyes turned blood red.
Meanwhile, Duan Boxin was stunned, he didn’t understand what had happened.
Returning to the Duan family members, Duan Boxin looked at Duan Shiyue and the others, frowning and asking.
Many people were looking at each other in astonishment, their faces filled with surprise.
Even other family members present were bewildered.
Some people’s gazes vaguely turned towards Lin Tian, but none dared to be sure.
The truth was Lin Tian’s speed was too fast, with just a wave of his hand, the sword formed by True Qi slashed down.
Simultaneously, the violent aura around Lin Tian made these people think it was emitted by the two black-robed men instead.
Because their cultivation was too low, under the violent True Qi, they couldn’t even discern who had released it.
What seemed like a tedious and prolonged scene actually happened in an instant.
Moreover, in the Earth Cultivation World, few cultivators could utilize True Qi so frighteningly by forming a True Qi Sword Formation, something they had never seen before.
Only Qi Tianzhu and Ling Qingshan had shocked faces, looking serious.
“Grandpa, it was Lin Tian! He was the one who did it, I told you he’s very powerful!”
Duan Shiyue decisively pointed at Lin Tian, speaking excitedly.
“What! Reckless! Killing Xue Chengchun, now… it’s a fight to the death!”
Duan Boxin’s face darkened, looking at Lin Tian, frowning, “You’re also a cultivator, but your cultivation can’t be high. Did you get the Ancient Sword Talisman?”
Lin Tian was a bit surprised, then nodded, “Consider it so! I told you I can help you, as for the Ancient Medicine Sect, I can cut them down one by one!”
Lin Tian naturally knew about the Sword Talisman, and he could make one himself, which was quite powerful, but there was no need.
In his previous life, he encountered many cultivators who specialized in talismans. Such beings, if they delved deep enough into talismans, could carry a storage bag full of talismans. Even if their cultivation wasn’t high, throwing out a pile of talismans would make even a Nascent Soul cultivator retreat.
“This young man is a master invited by the Duan family?”
“So he possessed an Ancient Sword Talisman from ages past, no wonder we couldn’t see through his moves, and no wonder his boasting!”
“So what about the Sword Talisman? After killing the Young Master, this one is dead for sure!”
“The Duan family is finished!”
The strongmen from other families present were stunned by Lin Tian’s words and spoke in disbelief.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the hall.
It was a man, looking quite similar to the deceased Xue Changchun.
This person was none other than Xue Xing, the Sect Leader of the Ancient Medicine Sect!
Seeing his son’s corpse on the ground, Xue Xing’s mind exploded, his whole body trembling, then he looked up at Peng Haokong beside him, “Who did it?”
Peng Haokong’s face was terrifyingly grim. As a Supreme Elder of the Ancient Medicine Sect, to have someone kill Xue Chengchun under his nose was like a slap across his face.
Hearing Peng Haokong’s words, Xue Xing’s aura erupted, he abruptly looked towards Duan Boxin and others.
“Everyone listen, don’t spare anyone from the Duan family! And those daring to assist the Duan family, kill without mercy!”
Xue Xing roared to the surroundings of the hall, and then shadows darted out. At the same time, Xue Xing instructed the two black-robed men, “Two Holy Cultivators, please help in the battle, slay these Duan family scum!”
Just as those shadows were about to pounce on the Duan family, a calm voice came from the hall, and a tall, square-faced handsome man came out.
This man was excessively handsome, his looks dazzlingly stunning!
Seeing him, the shadows stopped, while others’ faces froze instantly.
“Greetings, Holy Envoy!”
Xue Xing, Peng Haokong, and the two black-robed men all bowed in salute.
Then Xue Xing gritted his teeth and said to the man, “Holy Envoy, they killed my son, I must seek justice!”
The man nodded, coldly said, “But… where will you find the Ancient Medicine Secret Technique required by the Young Saint Master? If the Duan family is dead, will you use your head instead?”
Instantly, Xue Xing’s face turned white, cold sweat pouring like rain.
Seeing the man’s appearance and Xue Xing and others’ reactions, Lin Tian was very surprised and immediately asked Duan Boxin.
This man only had the Qi Refining First Level cultivation, but was incredibly strong and dazzlingly handsome.
Even Lin Tian had to admit what a handsome man this was!
“His name is Yun Ying! One of the Holy Envoys of the Holy Gu Sect! Another identity… is the companion of the Young Saint Master of the Holy Gu Sect, Cang Liunian!”
Duan Boxin’s expression became unprecedentedly serious, sighing, “You’ve caused trouble! This person is notoriously ruthless! In the past, all the matters of the Ancient Medicine Sect and Holy Gu Sect abducting girls were hosted by him. He also controls many Holy Cultivators, who are specialized murderers! And he’s the one colluding with the South Sea Cultivators! Pray we can escape this time!”
Duan Boxin’s words nearly made Lin Tian spit blood.
Turns out this Young Saint Master of the Holy Gu Sect has a liking for Longyang!
But Duan Boxin’s later remarks made Lin Tian’s eyes turn red with anger, his voice cold, “So, this person is essentially the one orchestrating murder from behind the scenes?”
Duan Boxin took a deep look at Lin Tian, seeing his composed calmness, suddenly perplexed, then patiently said, “I don’t know your background, but if you wish to rely on the Sword Talisman in your hand to break out, then you better fend for yourself!”
“Fend for myself? Ha, since you saved my friend, I must return the favor! Today, no Holy Gu Sect cultivator in the Ancient Medicine Sect will escape! Especially… this Yun Ying!”
Lin Tian smiled gently as he spoke, but within that smile lay a chilling coldness, then under the astonishment of Duan Boxin and others, he shook his head and stepped forward.
With each step he took, the aura around him grew, strands of killing intent spreading and swirling, gradually emitting a deep roar, enveloping the surroundings.
