Chapter 169: Common Disaster of Alchemists (2)

The chain of white light shattered the giant red palm, but it also lost all of its power and disappeared into the air.

Apart from the scorched ground below the collision point, there was nothing. There were no signs of a confrontation a moment ago.

Whoos.h.!.+

The sound of clothes fluttering could be heard.

An old man with gray hair and a gloomy expression landed in the courtyard and blocked the way of Lin Shen and the others. His cold gaze landed on Lin Shen like an arrow, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Path-stage Meltdown! You’re a disciple of the Nine Suns Sect?”

Jing Hai’s tone carried a trace of uncertainty.

Initially, he thought that the intruders were just a bunch of cat demons. He didn’t expect that there was actually a disciple of the Nine Suns Sect among them!

Was this disciple acting alone just to help this group of cat demons?

Or did the Nine Suns Sect discover his hidden ident.i.ty and specially come here to capture him?

After all, Jing Hai was experienced enough. His mind raced, and he quickly figured it out.

If it was the latter case, then there would be more than one Nine Suns Sky Sect disciple in the manor.

It was most likely the former.

Thinking of this, Jing Hai made up his mind, and a cold smile appeared on his face again.

“Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving. Be a good boy and become my alchemy material!”

Amidst his laughter, Jing Hai pressed his index and middle fingers together. He was swift like the wind as he drew out 10 distorted paths in the air. Traces of green light were like imprints that condensed in midair and transformed into the calligraphy character of lightning.

As soon as the character took shape, Jing Hai immediately pressed forward with his palms.

In the next moment, a blazing chain of white light appeared again and shot toward Lin Shen like an arrow!

He had turned his spiritual essence into a talisman! It was Lightning Palm!

Lin Shen’s heart trembled.

Even though the scene just now had already given him the answer, he still held onto the hope that the old man might have used some kind of talisman.

However, the current situation had finally shattered the last trace of his hope.

Drawing talismans in the air was something that could only be done when one’s cultivation reached an extremely high stage!

When a person’s soul was strengthened to a certain extent, they could awaken their spirit resonance and use the spirit supplement medium to draw talismans in the air!

In other words, a spell!

To do that, one had to break through to the Bright Aperture Stage first!

In other words, the old man was a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator!

The owner of this manor, an apothecary, was actually a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator?

Lin Shen was shocked.

However, the enemy was aggressive and didn’t give him any time to think.

Facing the incoming lightning, Lin Shen activated the Forbidden Golden Armor without thinking.

In the next moment, the shadow of a majestic golden armor appeared out of thin air and enveloped Lin Shen’s entire body.

Crackle!

The blazing white lightning struck the golden armor, and with a bang, dazzling electric currents exploded, turning the surrounding gra.s.s into charcoal. Sparks flew, but Lin Shen, who was in the center of the lightning, was unscathed.

“Path-stage Physical Enhancement martial technique!”

Jing Hai’s pupils were constricted.

It wasn’t rare for Bright Aperture Stage cultivators to master Path-stage martial techniques, but there weren’t many Bright Aperture Stage cultivators who mastered two such martial techniques at the same time.

No wonder this person dared to barge into the manor. It seemed that he had some skills!

Because of his preconceived notions, Jing Hai still thought that Lin Shen was a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.

At the same time, Tang Yue was dumbfounded.

On one hand, she was shocked that the owner of the manor was actually a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.

On the other hand, she was also shocked by Lin Shen’s strength.

He had actually Path in his martial technique!

Two of them!

He even blocked the spell attacks of a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator twice in a row!

Tang Yue was shocked.

How could she thing that she had already understood how powerful Lin Shen was?

However, it was only at this moment that she realized that she had still far underestimated Lin Shen. The latter’s strength far exceeded her imagination!

Lin Shen’s voice suddenly woke Tang Yue up from her daze.

“Tang Yue, take your people and leave!”

Tang Yue was stunned. When she realized what he had said, her expression changed drastically. She was about to speak when Lin Shen interrupted her.

“You’re too weak. You’ll only drag me down if you stay!”

Tang Yue’s expression froze.

However, she also understood that Lin Shen was telling the truth.

With her Ascension Stage cultivation, she couldn’t even survive a single exchange with Jing Hai. If she stayed, she would either be tempting fate for nothing or become a burden to Lin Shen.

It was even more the case with the other spirit cats.

Even the aftershock of a battle would probably take their lives!

After all, Tang Yue wasn’t a shy person. Once she thought it through, she no longer hesitated. She took a long look at Lin Shen, gritted her teeth, and called for the spirit cats to leave.

“You want to leave? Have you asked for my permission?”

Jing Hai snorted coldly and was about to stop the cats when he suddenly saw someone moving fast from the corner of his eye. Lin Shen had already arrived in front of him. He waved the longsword in his hand repeatedly, forming waves of sword light that enveloped Jing Hai.

The dazzling sword light made Jing Hai’s expression freeze.

After all, it was an attack from a cultivator he thought to be at the same level as him. He didn’t dare to underestimate Lin Shen, so he could only give up on stopping Tang Yue. He wiped his palm, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.

In the next moment, there was an endless sound of metal colliding, and sparks burst out!

In just two to three seconds, the two of them had exchanged no less than 50 blows!

By the time the two of them separated, Tang Yue had already walked far away with the spirit cats. They had almost disappeared into the hazy night.

However, at this moment, Jing Hai could no longer care about them.

His gaze was fixed on Lin Shen, and his eyes flickered with surprise.

In that head-on clash just now, he was surprised to discover that his opponent’s strength didn’t seem to be as powerful as he had expected.

“You’re not a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator! You’re at the Long Breath Stage!”

Jing Hai sized up Lin Shen, and his eyes gradually lit up with surprise.

“Long Breath Stage, Path-stage martial technique, and Nine Suns Sect… Hahaha, so you’re Lin Shen!

“I searched high and low for you, and voila!

“I was just thinking about how to capture you. I didn’t expect you to actually bring yourself to my doorstep. Even the heavens are looking after me. Hahaha…”

Xu Yuan’s complacent and excited laughter rang out in the night.

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.

Judging from the words of the fellow, it seemed that the other party had been planning to attack him for a long time!

But why?

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Shen’s mind, and he blurted out,

“You’re from the Wild Wolves!

II

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Jing Hai looked at Lin Shen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect you to be so smart. You guessed my ident.i.ty so quickly!”

As expected!

Lin Shen remained calm despite the discovery.

“Since when did the Wild Wolves go after spirit cats? Isn’t your target the cultivators?”

“You even know about such things? Looks like you know quite a lot.”

Jing Hai could tell what Lin Shen was trying to get out of him, but he was in a good mood and was certain that Lin Shen wouldn’t be able to escape from him, so he didn’t care.

“I used those spirit cats to experiment with a new breed of Blood Spirit Pills. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any results yet.

“But it doesn’t matter. After I capture you and refine you into Blood Spirit Pills, I’ll be able to break through the bottleneck and become a cultivator master. At that time, with my cultivation and skills, I’ll be able to refine a new breed of Blood Spirit Pills!”

Lin Shen acutely sensed the key point in Jing Hai’s words.

“You’re at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage?”

“That’s right!”

Jing Hai stood proudly with his hands behind his back.

However, Lin Shen’s following words enraged him.

“Really? But why do I feel that you don’t look like someone at the ninth level?

You feel a little weak!”

Jing Hai was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.

In fact, this was also a common problem for alchemists.

Alchemists spent most of their lives researching and refining medicinal pills without any distractions.

Although relying on pills, their cultivation levels were the same as ordinary cultivators, and their martial arts attainments and combat techniques were far inferior to the latter.

Because of this, alchemists were known to be weak among their peers!

Very weak.

An alchemist at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage might not be able to defeat an ordinary cultivator at the third level.

As an apothecary, Jing Hai was not much better than an alchemist in this aspect.

Usually, he did not think much of it. Now that he was pointed out by a junior in the Long Breath Stage and even mocked for being weak, how could he hold it in? He was immediately furious!

“Young man, you are too arrogant!”

As he shouted, Jing Hai rushed toward Lin Shen with a murderous expression..
