Chapter 412 - 112: Fierce Battle Between Both Sides
Chapter 412: Chapter 112: Fierce Battle Between Both Sides
This demon cultivator, Lin Jing didn’t know why he insisted on intercepting the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
But if he really wanted to snatch Li Qingqing away, Lin Jing would definitely take action.
Lin Jing would absolutely not allow Li Qingqing to fall into anyone else’s hands.
Next, Lin Jing directly left the area.
If they started fighting later, even if Lin Jing hid inside the Flying Boat, it wouldn’t necessarily be safe, as he might be implicated and thus exposed.
After leaving a certain distance and feeling it was relatively safe, Lin Jing and Little Sparrow watched the demon cultivator below from inside the Shadow Escape Flying Boat.
At this point, it had to be said, the Shadow Escape Flying Boat’s concealment capabilities were truly formidable.
Lin Jing had just piloted the Flying Boat not too far from this demon cultivator. If it had been an ordinary Flying Boat, it would probably have been discovered long ago.
But the Shadow Escape Flying Boat, with its exceptional concealment ability, had remained undetected by the mysterious demon cultivator until now.
Even, not just by this mysterious demon cultivator, but also when he was following the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang just before.
Among the Young Gang Leader’s entourage were two Hall Masters in the Golden Core Late Stage, but neither of them noticed Lin Jing’s tracking.
……
Like this, not much time passed.
Even less than two quarters of an hour.
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang and a few others had already arrived here using the Bulrush Fan Magical Treasure.
At this moment, the mysterious demon cultivator happened to be blocking their path.
Facing the mysterious demon cultivator blocking the way,
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang stopped and directly said to the mysterious demon cultivator:
“I know you…”
“You were competing with me in the auction house before.”
“What?”
“Are you blocking my way because you want to snatch someone from me?”
However, the mysterious demon cultivator snorted coldly and then said:
“Hmph…”
“I am here to kill you…”
Facing the mysterious demon cultivator’s arrogant words, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang couldn’t help but scoff:
“Heh heh…”
“Such arrogance, I wonder who gave you the courage?”
At this time, not only the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang but also the two Hall Masters of the Black Shark Gang felt the same.
They looked at the mysterious demon cultivator with contempt.
It was clear to them that the mysterious demon cultivator only possessed mid-Golden Core cultivation, hardly a match for their group on his own.
Either of the two Hall Masters could easily handle this demon cultivator.
Yet he dared to be so bold as to threaten to kill their Young Gang Leader.
If he succeeded, the two of them wouldn’t need to live anymore; they might as well just die.
None of them, looking disdainfully at the mysterious demon cultivator, believed he could succeed.
Even Lin Jing, watching from above, didn’t think the mysterious demon cultivator was a match for the Black Shark Gang’s party.
Although this demon cultivator had set up a Formation in advance, he was facing two cultivators in the Golden Core Late Stage.
At this moment, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang directly addressed the two Hall Masters of the Black Shark Gang:
“Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Li…”
“Please handle this person.”
“I really want to see where his confidence comes from.”
The two Hall Masters of the Black Shark Gang said:
“Young Gang Leader, rest assured.”
“Leave this arrogant person to us.”
Having said that, one of them, Hall Master Zhao, directly said to Hall Master Li:
“Old Li…”
“You stay here to watch and take care of the Young Gang Leader, I’ll go confront this person.”
“I really want to see what makes him so audacious.”
Hall Master Li cautioned:
“Be careful, it could be a trick.”
Hall Master Zhao said:
“Don’t worry, I’ve already checked; there should only be him nearby.”
After speaking, Hall Master Zhao charged directly forward.
At the same time, he unleashed a wheel-shaped Magical Treasure that whistled toward the mysterious demon cultivator.
Seeing this, the mysterious demon cultivator also made his move, black Demonic Qi billowing from his body, instantly enveloping him.
In addition, the demon cultivator also released several black beads that attacked the wheel-shaped Magical Treasure.
Like this, the battle between the two instantly erupted.
…
…
Hall Master Zhao, truly worthy of his Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, had a slight upper hand over the demon cultivator as soon as they clashed.
But the demon cultivator was not simple either.
Seeing that his black bead Magical Treasures could only barely manage,
He brought out a Flying Sword as well.
In cooperation with the black beads, he attacked Hall Master Zhao.
Hall Master Zhao, observing this, also hastened to channel Spiritual Power, controlling the wheel-shaped Magical Treasure to attack the demon cultivator.
For a moment, neither could get the better of the other, and they were at a stalemate.
After fighting for a while, the mysterious demon cultivator slowly found himself on the losing side again.
Seeing this,
The mysterious demon cultivator immediately released a surge of black Demonic Qi, forming a cloud of black Demonic Mist that shrouded the entire battlefield and resumed his fight with Hall Master Zhao within the mist.
Most who cultivate the demonic path are not of kind nature, and the majority of demon cultivation techniques are extremely adept at combat.
Generally, if two cultivators of equal cultivation were to conflict, unless one had a variety of extraordinary techniques and exceptional abilities, the demon cultivator would often emerge victorious.
Moreover, some demon cultivators have cultivated techniques that they can release at a great cost, often resulting in life-threatening situations.
Hence, Hall Master Zhao, facing the demon cultivator, remained cautious to avoid being injured, not daring to go all out.
Otherwise, that mysterious Demon Cultivator would have likely been defeated long ago.
After all, the two of them were in different stages, one at the Golden Core Late Stage and the other merely at the Golden Core Mid Stage.
The gap in their Cultivations was vast, not so easily bridged.
However, the Demon Cultivator in front of them was particularly difficult to deal with, which is why the standoff had lasted for so long.
When the Demonic Mist suddenly appeared, Hall Master Li instantly became vigilant, but upon hearing Hall Master Zhao continuing to rage ferociously within the black fog, he refrained from rushing in directly.
Even the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang was frowning at this moment.
Even the motion of toying with the Token in his hand had slowed down.
……
At this moment, Lin Jing found himself captivated by the two Tokens in the hands of the Black Shark Gang’s Young Gang Leader.
Lin Jing recognized those Tokens, they were the ones from the auction house that could control the life and death of Li Qingqing and another young girl.
To save Li Qingqing, he first had to seize those two Tokens.
Otherwise, with the Tokens in hand, Li Qingqing would certainly meet her death with a mere thought from the Black Shark Gang’s Young Gang Leader.
At this time, by the side of the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang, the burly man in black still stood by his side.
For some reason, from beginning to end, this burly man hadn’t made a move.
He seemed uninterested in the ongoing battle, merely standing guard next to the Young Gang Leader, which was quite odd.
Previously, Lin Jing had observed the burly man in black several times. Although something felt off, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Now,
Lin Jing knew what was amiss.
There was something too peculiar about this burly man in black; he had stood by the side of the Young Gang Leader from the start, impervious to any distraction.
It was almost as if he was a Puppet.
Puppet…
Yes, that’s it, a Puppet.
This burly man in black indeed gave off the impression of being a Puppet.
Although he looked no different from a normal person.
And on top of that, there was the fluctuation of Cultivation at the Golden Core Mid Stage emanating from him.
But his reactions were not what one would expect from a Cultivator.
It seemed this Puppet was not to be trifled with.
Lin Jing then became secretly alert.
If he were to take action later, he would have to be wary of this Puppet.
Just as Lin Jing was contemplating these thoughts,
a “Boom!” suddenly erupted from the midst of the dense Demonic Qi, followed by a massive explosion.
Then, a scream:
“Ah…”
Next came a roar of anger:
“Damn it, a Forbidden Artifact, and you only use it now.”
The one who made this sound was none other than Hall Master Zhao.
His voice set both Hall Master Li and the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang scowling.
It was at this moment that the Demonic Qi gradually dispersed, revealing the two men inside it.
Both seemed to be in a dire predicament.
The mysterious Demon Cultivator bore numerous wounds so deep they revealed bone, with blood steadily dripping down.
At this time, the Demonic Qi around him had also grown much fainter.
Taking advantage of the moment, he produced an Elixir Medicine from his body and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.
As for Hall Master Zhao, he appeared even worse for wear.
Apparently affected by the explosion of the Forbidden Artifact he had mentioned, his injuries were far more severe than those of the mysterious Demon Cultivator.
There were now several cracks on his circular Formation Magical Treasure in front of him.
Clearly, it had been this Magical Treasure that had shielded him from most of the Forbidden Artifact’s onslaught.
At this moment, Hall Master Zhao’s eyes were ablaze with fury as he stared intensely at the Demon Cultivator.
The Demon Cultivator, in turn, showed no sign of weakness.
“It’s laughable that you think you can take me down,” he said.
His voice was hoarse, yet the contempt in it was unmistakable.
Then, the Demon Cultivator addressed the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang:
“I said before, today you will die…”
Hearing these words, the Young Gang Leader’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger passing through them as he looked towards the mysterious Demon Cultivator and said,
“You think you can kill me?”
“Hall Master Li, join the fight and take him down quickly.”
At that moment, Hall Master Zhao spoke up:
“Young Gang Leader, I can handle it on my own…”
However, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang interrupted:
“Uncle Zhao, now is not the time for bravado.”
“Uncle Li, please go.”
Hall Master Li nodded and replied to the Young Gang Leader:
“Yes, Young Gang Leader.”
After speaking, he flew directly towards the action.
Upon reaching Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Li took out an Elixir Medicine and handed it to him,
then said:
“Old Zhao…”
“This is not the time to be stubborn. The Black Kite is still out there somewhere, waiting to strike at any moment.”
“We need to prioritize protecting the Young Gang Leader.”
“If anything happens to him, we won’t be able to explain ourselves to the Gang Leader.”
After hearing this, Hall Master Zhao paused for a moment, then nodded:
“I understand…”
With that, he swallowed the Elixir Medicine.
Then, he began to meditate and regulate his breathing.
