Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Mutation

In the sky.

Chen Baicao desperately urged his Spiritual Power, using movement techniques to flee.

To prevent Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Attack, he even kept changing directions.

"Can you really escape?"

Ling Chen slightly smiled and with a movement of his feet, his speed increased dramatically more than before.

"How is this possible?"

Chen Baicao suddenly felt the surge in Ling Chen’s speed and his face drastically changed.

Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power and Spirit Art had not changed, yet his speed was significantly faster than before, which was incredibly hard to believe.

The distance between them was rapidly closing, and Chen Baicao pushed his Spiritual Power to its limits, desperately fleeing.

"It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Ling Chen grinned, a strong aura bursting forth from him, his speed elevated to a new level!

"Primordial Pill Realm second stage late period?"

Chen Baicao panicked instantly.

He had not expected Ling Chen to still be concealing his strength.

With such speed, no matter how much he struggled, it would be difficult to escape Ling Chen’s pursuit.

"Correct!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly.

Now that they were far away from Piano Girl and the others, even if he revealed his true strength, they wouldn’t be able to sense it.

Under such circumstances, in front of a dying man, what strength was there left to hide?

Chen Baicao had set a trap to kill him, Ling Chen naturally wouldn’t let his assailant go.

Hearing this, Chen Baicao’s face turned pale as death.

It was he who had orchestrated these plots, who could have imagined that he would fall into his own trap?

"Not running anymore?"

Ling Chen stood suspended in midair, looking at Chen Baicao across from him.

Chen Baicao felt extremely bitter. He indeed wanted to run, but under Ling Chen’s terrifying speed, where could he find a chance to escape?

"Young Master Ling, please don’t kill me!"

Chen Baicao immediately begged for mercy from Ling Chen.

Unable to escape, and unable to fight back, he could only beg for mercy.

"Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Ling Chen said indifferently.

Chen Baicao had first set a trap, luring them in.

Then, he didn’t hesitate to use the Hundred Rivers into the Sea Formation, and even took matters into his own hands to try and kill him.

He really couldn’t understand why he should spare this man.

"Young Master Ling, I was wrong before. In the future, I am willing to follow you, and I will give all the Star Soul fruits to you, just please spare my life!"

Chen Baicao fell from the sky and knelt on the ground, bowing his head in supplication.

"That reason is not enough!"

Ling Chen coldly smiled.

He had Gu Ce, a top-grade Divine Thought Master following him, why would he care about a mid-grade Divine Thought Master?

Even if Chen Baicao was a Spirit Array Master, from what he could see so far, the Spirit Arrays were nothing special.

Whether it was the Illusion Spirit Array or the Hundred Rivers into the Sea Formation, they were all very ordinary in his eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Baicao quickly said, "Young Master Ling, you are currently in my Illusion Spirit Array. If you spare me, I will immediately dismantle the Illusion Spirit Array! Otherwise, even with your Divine Soul Telekinesis, you might not be able to break my Spirit Array."

"Are you threatening me?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Young Master Ling, you misunderstand. It’s not a threat, it’s just stating a fact."

Chen Baicao smiled, "Though my Illusion Spirit Array isn’t much, it can trap you all for half a month! Moreover, having me follow you and with Spirit Arrays for protection, your safety will be greatly ensured!"

At this moment, only by proving his worth could he have a chance to survive.

Ling Chen looked at Chen Baicao and slowly shook his head, "I’m sorry, I won’t entrust my life to someone who once sought to kill me."

"Young Master Ling, please reconsider. I am a Spirit Array Master! Not only can I set up Illusion Arrays, but I can also set up various other Spirit Arrays such as the Spirit Gathering Array and the Origin Transformation Array, which can help you enhance your Cultivation Speed!"

Chen Baicao hastened to explain.

Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "I don’t need them!"

His Night Moon Sacred Body was sufficient for cultivation; he didn’t need any auxiliary Spirit Arrays.

However powerful the Spirit Array might be, could it compare to directly consuming Elixirs?

"So, you should just die!"

Ling Chen’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The medium-grade Telekinesis Flying Knife instantly transformed into a streak of light, stabbing towards Chen Baicao.

"No!"

Chen Baicao’s face changed drastically, and he roared angrily as energy surged frantically from within, simultaneously controlling a lower-grade Telekinesis weapon to block Ling Chen’s Flying Knife.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the two Telekinesis weapons collided.

However, Ling Chen’s Flying Knife directly knocked Chen Baicao’s weapon away and then stabbed directly at Chen Baicao’s forehead.

"You can’t kill me, otherwise, my master will not let you go! My master is..."

Chen Baicao’s eyes were filled with panic as he roared out.

However, before he could finish...

"Shh!"

The medium-grade Telekinesis Flying Knife directly shattered Chen Baicao’s Spiritual Power Defense and then penetrated his forehead, exiting through the back of his skull.

"Thud!"

Chen Baicao’s body fell backward, heavily smashing into the ground.

"Hmph, having exposed so much of my strength, how could I not kill you?"

Ling Chen snorted coldly.

If it weren’t for Chen Baicao’s Hundred Rivers into the Sea Formation, he wouldn’t have had to reveal the extent of his Divine Soul.

Now, even Piano Girl and the others knew about it.

He sheathed the Flying Knife at his feet, descended from the sky, walked over to Chen Baicao, took his storage ring off, then extracted his Primordial Pill, and finally severed Chen Baicao’s head.

Soon, Ling Chen returned to where Piano Girl and the others were.

"Thud!"

Ling Chen threw Chen Baicao’s head towards the terrified cultivators of Hundred Herbs Village.

"Village Chief?"

The people saw the head, immediately got frightened, and knelt on the ground, bowing to Ling Chen: "Please, Young Master, spare our lives; we were only following orders."

They had witnessed with their own eyes Ling Chen cutting down nine people with a single Flying Knife.

They were completely terrified.

Now, even the Village Chief had been killed by Ling Chen, how could they dare to resist?

"Hmph, I spared you just because you were following Chen Baicao’s orders!"

Ling Chen said coldly.

"Young Master Xie, we thank you for sparing our lives!"

The people of Hundred Herbs Village were incredibly excited as they kowtowed to Ling Chen.

As for the Black Flame Demon Tiger, it had fled after Chen Baicao was killed.

"Alright, since you were able to enter this Illusion Spirit Array, surely you have a way to get out as well, right?"

Ling Chen asked.

"Yes, I will lead everyone out now!"

A late-stage Primordial Pill Realm cultivator hurriedly nodded.

"Not so fast."

Ling Chen shook his head, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Who is your village chief’s master?"

A dying person’s words are often truthful.

He did not believe that Chen Baicao’s master was fictitious.

The person capable of teaching Chen Baicao must certainly not be ordinary.

"We don’t know, we have never met our village chief’s master!"

After talking among themselves for a while, they gave Ling Chen an answer.

Ling Chen nodded: "Fine, a few of you stay behind, the rest of you get out!"

"Thank you, Young Master Ling!"

The crowd chorused.

They immediately walked quickly towards the distance.

However, at that moment, the Star Soul Fruit Tree not far away suddenly burst into brilliance!

"The Star Soul Fruits are ripening!"

Piano Girl and the others all looked eagerly towards it.

Nine Star Soul Fruits, each emitting the most dazzling light.

However, just as the Star Soul Fruits were about to ripen, the light from eight of the fruits suddenly retracted swiftly, and then the fruits shriveled up like deflated.
