Chapter 164: Chapter 97: Kill Shot! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

"No matter what the outcome on that side, I need to make a quick getaway."

Elder Bai, although temporarily shaking off King Lin with the agility and swiftness of his Flying Sword, was facing an opponent whose senses and intuition were astonishingly keen, leaving the possibility of being caught up to again.

He immediately affixed a Talisman Paper on the Peach Wood Sword, which concealed the sword’s aura.

Elder Bai himself also wore a Jade Talisman to conceal his own aura and stealthily snuck out from the secret chamber.

...

...

"Brother." Xu Qing had just chased out of the courtyard when he encountered King Lin, who had turned back.

"Gongming, that guy’s Flying Sword is too adept at finding gaps, I’ve lost him," King Lin heaved a sigh of regret, which is the prowess of a Dao Skill expert. Even if they can’t defeat a Martial Arts Master of the same level, they have many ways to save their own lives, and with powerful Magic Artifacts at their disposal, they don’t need to confront you directly.

Before the fight, they would hide two to three miles away, and even King Lin, an expert of Refining Internal, would not be able to locate their exact position once he lost track of the Magic Artifact.

Besides, King Lin came back to check on Xu Qing’s situation.

Seeing Xu Qing safe and sound, he felt relieved.

After all, he still had a lot of benefits to collect from Xu Qing.

"Brother, follow me, I know his approximate location," Xu Qing replied.

The clash with the Sect Leader of the Eagle Claw Sect seemed lengthy when described, but in reality, it took a very short time.

Such is the nature of confrontation between formidable Martial Arts Masters.

In the time it takes a layperson to raise their hand, they might have gone through several exchanges.

A Divine Soul Expert with Great Success of Exorcism could indeed control a Flying Sword with incredible speed, but bodily speed could definitely not compare to that of the Flying Sword unless the individual’s body had also reached the level of Refining Internal, allowing them to compete with the Flying Sword in short-range bursts of speed.

Of course, the agility and nimbleness of the Flying Sword are indeed not something that a flesh and blood body can match. Even King Lin, having not captured the Flying Sword at the first chance, was thrown off by the innate advantage and terrain leveraged by the Flying Sword.

However, the appearance of King Lin also forced Elder Bai not to press the confrontation any further.

For if the Flying Sword were intercepted by King Lin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that point, even if Elder Bai’s Divine Soul were to exit the sword, it would most likely be scattered by King Lin’s fierce Qi-Blood.

Led by Xu Qing, King Lin quickly arrived near a residential area.

"To truly unleash the power of controlling a Flying Sword with Great Success of Exorcism, it usually takes place within a few miles. So he’s likely to be around this residential area," Xu Qing whispered to King Lin as they stood on the rooftops of the houses.

King Lin: "This place is chaotic with a mix of characters. If a Divine Soul Expert leaves their shell, it’s difficult for us to find them."

"I have a way," Xu Qing said without hesitation.

Immediately after, Xu Qing froze in concentration.

Turns out he had projected his Divine Soul and visualized the Yaksha King.

Visible only as a shimmering silver-white shadow under the moonlight, Xu Qing’s Divine Soul was barely perceptible.

In King Lin’s view, however, the Yaksha King appeared all-encompassing in dark hues, brandishing a steel trident. But to ordinary people, the Yaksha King remained invisible.

Xu Qing’s Divine Soul and the Yaksha King roamed the residential area like Black and White Impermanence, claiming souls.

At the same time, Xu Qing continuously emitted the Crane Call with his Divine Soul to observe the reactions of ordinary people around.

In the face of the Crane Call, a true layperson would be struck by a wave of dizziness as if suffering from low blood sugar. The response of cultivators would be much less pronounced, and powerful cultivators might not be affected at all.

The malevolent presence of the Yaksha King, too, could distinguish ordinary people from cultivators.

"Found him."

Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and uttered in a low voice.

He moved first, quickly closing in on a figure attempting to flee.

The Yaksha King immediately entangled the target.

Elder Bai, a cultivator with Great Success of Exorcism, could directly see Divine Souls, and was shocked to see the Yaksha King coming to entangle him.

Without time to ponder about the Yaksha King, he immediately brandished the Peach Wood Sword, aiming to cut down the Yaksha King.

However, this slight delay allowed Xu Qing and King Lin to catch up.

He felt a great deal of regret. Had he known, he would have remained hidden in the secret chamber using the Turtle Breath Technique, not venturing out.

He hadn’t expected that after just coming out, his opponents would find this residential area, effectively cutting off his escape routes.

That’s just the way the world is; there’s no medicine for regret.

Moreover, Elder Bai worried that if he lingered too long, they would discover his hiding place. Unless they opened their Heavenly Eye, fleeing outright was definitely not a wrong choice.

It was just that Xu Qing and King Lin’s pursuit was too fast and too relentless.

With the Peach Wood Sword in front, Elder Bai addressed King Lin coldly: "Your Excellency, as a master of great prowess in Refining Internal, to become a lackey of the Court, it is truly lamentable."

King Lin chuckled coldly: "No need for such nonsense. Let’s see how you can run now."

He remained keenly attentive, eyeing Elder Bai.

With the opponent having a Flying Sword for protection, if he acted rashly, it would be easy to reveal a weakness and give his opponent a chance to injure him.

King Lin was rough yet perceptive and didn’t see the need to rush with Xu Qing at his side to assist.

Furthermore, if he acted recklessly, and the old fellow decided to end it together with Xu Qing, with the Flying Sword’s high speed and agility, King Lin doubted whether he could respond in time.

Seeing King Lin not moving, fear grew in Elder Bai’s heart.

The heightened senses of an Internal Martial Artist were remarkable. Should he strike first and reveal a gap, he feared it would provide his opponent with a lethal opportunity.

That was the terrifying aspect of Internal Martial Artists, especially when facing someone with an innate gift like King Lin.

Even a Dao Skill expert like Elder Bai, once his physical body came into King Lin’s sight, could not escape becoming prey.
