Chapter 212: Chapter 67: Battle (1)

"It’s here, so fast!"

Lin Yuan’s spirit sank instantly to the bottom of the valley.

The eerie laughter sounded beside his ear, and the reckless, ever-blowing chilling wind made him extremely alert.

It was this special chilling wind that almost froze his soul to death initially.

A soft tapping sound.

With a step landing, an elderly man with dark skin, skeletal and gaunt, appeared at the entrance of the hall.

His figure was small and emaciated, like a dead tree long deprived of rain and dew. His face was deathly pale, his eye sockets deep-set, and a pair of pitch-black pupils emitted a chilling, eerie light. Dressed in a blue Taoist robe covering his entire body, he looked extremely sinister.

Lin Yuan immediately focused all his attention on this Taoist. Despite his small stature, he concealed an extraordinarily terrifying ghostly spirit.

While Lin Yuan was on guard, the ghostly Taoist also scanned everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Lin Yuan.

The ghostly Taoist stared directly at Lin Yuan, instantly realizing it was him.

At this moment, he felt a sense of delight: "Such a youthful scent, such abundant accumulation. This body, if possessed, could elevate my martial arts cultivation further."

Thinking of this, ghostly flames of desire seemed to rise in the Taoist’s pupils, with clusters of ghostly fire igniting in his eye sockets.

With a cold laugh, the elder stepped into the hall.

Everyone in the hall turned pale simultaneously.

Pei Zeqi and other members of the Pei family martial artists were already overawed by the old man’s brazen demeanour. They dared not resist and gradually moved towards the edge of the hall.

As the elder stepped inside, it seemed as if the temperature dropped a few degrees once more.

An extremely dangerous feeling surfaced in his heart. Lin Yuan couldn’t help but have his hair stand on end, with the vital energy within him stirring restlessly, seemingly uncontrollable.

At that moment, a strong hand landed on Lin Yuan’s shoulder.

Lin Yuan glanced over, finding Cao Qin stepping forward to stand in front of him, "Junior Brother Lin, this is the evil Taoist that Brother Zhan has been searching for."

The relaxed expression that Cao Qin had just a moment ago vanished entirely into solemnity.

Secretly thankful in his heart to have come along, he realized that with Lin Yuan’s current strength, there was no way he could be a match for this person.

If Lin Yuan came to any harm here, how would he explain to the master? He had promised confidently in front of the master to bring Lin Yuan back safe and sound.

"Junior Brother Lin, this person has already reached the Aperture stage, and his cultivation is deep; you are by no means able to handle him." Cao Qin stepped forward, blocking all the chilling aura emitted by the ghostly Taoist.

Seeing Cao Qin step forward, the ghostly Taoist smirked and said coldly, "Another Aperture stage disciple from the Martial Academy?"

"In front of old me, just a bunch of useless beings. If you surrender and hand over the young one behind you, I can give you a swift death, or else you’ll beg for death in vain!"

The ghostly Taoist paused, but black flames suddenly ignited on his body, spreading in all directions.

A wailing resounded.

It was as if an inexplicable wind was sweeping through the void, sending chills down people’s spines.

The lowest-ranked Jiang Yu, blown by this wind, looked at the elder full of fear. He couldn’t help but tremble, his breath seemingly carrying ice shards.

The same could be said for the Pei family members.

The old man’s pitch-black eyes glanced over, raising Cao Qin and Lin Yuan’s wariness to the extreme.

Cao Qin’s vital energy circulated frantically, with a mighty true essence of the great sun gushing out continuously from the Dantian’s orifices.

Bang!

Cao Qin’s figure seemed to emanate red and blue flames, dispelling all the chill within the hall.

"Junior Brother Lin, step back, watch how I handle this," Cao Qin’s voice rang in Lin Yuan’s ear, as he felt the warm great sun’s true essence enveloping him.

He had already achieved the orifice stage, naturally fearless of such chill.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep look at Cao Qin.

Though his time with Cao Qin was short, in the face of danger, this senior did not retreat, striving to protect him fully.

Such a debt of gratitude had to be repaid.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, slowly withdrawing while transmitting his voice: "Be careful, Brother."

Against a martial artist of the Aperture stage, he had never engaged with any other, uncertain of his own strength and ability to handle the ghostly spirit.

Just as well Cao Qin, being at the Aperture stage, confronted him. Taking this chance, Lin Yuan could observe and find his exact level of strength.

Cao Qin sensed Lin Yuan’s retreat, subtly nodded, and then laughed loudly, "Stop pretending! Wicked and heretical ways ought to be exterminated!"

Cao Qin’s body seemed ablaze with invisible firelight; his eyes appeared to contain explosive flames.

With resolute eyes, he took a deep breath, consolidating the great sun’s true essence into a mass of explosive flame within, and unleashed a powerful force from his feet.

Whizz!

His figure instantly vanished from its original spot, leaving behind only residual shadows as he charged at the ghostly Taoist.

"Courting death!"

The ghostly Taoist was not surprised by this and sneered.

Simultaneously, a massive shadow over several meters seemed to enshroud from behind him, spreading an infinite chilling aura in all directions instantly.

Skeletal fingers extended, gently pointing.

The black shadow instantly divided, releasing an eerie black flame roaring toward Cao Qin.

How could the rapidly moving Cao Qin be stopped by mere black flames?

Three flashes in instant steps!

Swish!

Cao Qin’s body seemed to turn into three shadows rushing at the ghostly Taoist simultaneously.

While the black flame unleashed by the ghostly Taoist crashed unstoppably against the hall wall.

Bang!

The entire wall was shattered into countless pieces by the black flame.

After dodging, the three shadows of Cao Qin reconverged, reaching within three feet of the ghostly Taoist.

Swish!

A heavy slash, with a long blade aura, sliced at the ghostly Taoist’s chest.

However, the ghostly Taoist disappeared like a gust of wind, and Cao Qin’s attack missed.

He quickly turned, only to find the ghostly Taoist had appeared behind him, a cold claw was resting against his throat. Cao Qin felt a surge of intense cold, his heart racing instantly.

At that moment, the great sun’s true essence within Cao Qin erupted once more.

Slashing swiftly!

Three consecutive flashes of blade light shattered the claw condensed from black flame.

However, there seemed to be two claws forming from behind again.

"Such speed! This person’s strength far exceeded initial estimates!" Cao Qin thought in surprise.

He swung his blade vigorously once more, breaking the not-yet-formed claw behind him.

But how could the ghostly Taoist let him have his way, giving Cao Qin no chance to catch his breath, with countless claws mysteriously appearing and disappearing around him?

Clang clang clang.

The long blade and claws clashed continuously, erupting in a relentless cacophony.

The two engaged fiercely in the hall. Cao Qin’s great sun’s true essence clashed with the ghostly Taoist’s black flame, generating a powerful impact.

Numerous battle aftershocks spread in all directions, with the violent vital energy seemingly unable to withstand the extent anymore.

Creak!

Within the great hall, a pillar half a meter thick could no longer withstand the battle’s impact and broke abruptly.

"Retreat, retreat! We must withdraw from here," Pei Zeqi quickly transmitted his voice via vital energy, not daring to linger.

"The battle of Aperture stage cultivators is beyond our involvement. Third bro, take Jiang Yu and retreat first. Track down this line, locate the Hong family stronghold. We must give Master Lin an explanation."

Pei Zeqi arranged as he retreated, grasping Jiang Yu and fleeing swiftly from the hall.
