Chapter 121 Sword Slashes Three Foundation Establishment Stages

With Lu Lin as a powerful ally, the speed of their escape increased dramatically.

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

Since Lu Lin had accepted Mu Yetong's generous gift, he naturally had to do his best to ensure the safety of Xia Qianyu and the others.

He also understood that this was one of the reasons why Mu Yetong was so generous.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that he himself is not in danger.

If they were truly in mortal danger, all he could do was say that there was nothing he could do to help.

The group moved with lightning speed, and in no time they had crossed several towering mountains and traveled dozens of miles.

The earth-shattering sounds of battle behind them had gradually faded into the distance.

Lu Lin's tense mind finally relaxed a little.

His mind raced; the five major sects had actually joined forces.

Would these five forces, who are usually rivals and enemies, join forces for the sake of a martial arts alliance leader?
Could a martial artist who has surpassed the innate level really make these high and mighty immortal masters so wary?

Shouldn't.

Which of the five major sects in the Yan Kingdom doesn't have several Golden Core cultivators in charge?
With such formidable strength, would they fear a martial artist who has just broken through to the next level? At the same cultivation level, a martial artist is already easily crushed when facing a cultivator with numerous techniques.

A martial artist who surpasses the innate level is theoretically no threat to the five major sects.

Unless, there's a secret hidden behind this that he's unaware of.

call out!call out!call out!
Just as Lu Lin was pondering, three dazzling streaks of light suddenly lit up the night sky, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and were shooting rapidly toward them!
Lu Lin's pupils contracted.

Pursuers!

Three cultivators!
A figure stood with sword light beneath his feet, exuding a chilling aura; he was undoubtedly a cultivator from the Qingping Sword Sect.

Another person rode a gray gourd, exuding a nauseating evil aura.

The last person was a beautiful woman who still retained her charm, riding a silver-white ribbon, and had a somewhat ethereal air about her.

"Fellow Daoists, don't try to take them from me! These martial beasts of the Martial Alliance are mine!"

The cultivator from the Qingping Sword Sect was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and possessed the fastest sword-riding speed. In just a few breaths, he had caught up with the group, his words filled with contempt, showing no regard for martial artists whatsoever.

His spiritual power surged, and the sword light instantly grew several feet, transforming into a dazzling sword beam that slashed down at Lu Lin and the others below, intending to behead them all with a single strike!
"Martial beast?"

Lu Lin's eyes turned cold, and the blood-patterned steel sword was instantly drawn.

Several distinct blood essences, under the control of the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, frantically intertwined and compressed, all converging beneath their feet.

boom!
The ground beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and he was like a cannonball launched backwards, neither dodging nor avoiding, carrying a surge of blood energy, and fiercely soaring into the sky to meet the sword light!

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, the swordsman's lips curled into a mocking smile.

How dare a mere martial artist confront the sword light of a celestial master?
However, the sarcasm on his face froze the next moment.

puff!
The crimson sword light collided with the dazzling sword beam, but there was no earth-shattering roar, only a muffled thud like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The sword light that the Qingping Sword Sect cultivators were so proud of was instantly torn apart and scattered by that domineering and incomparable blood-red sword light.

The sword light continued its undiminished momentum, flashing past in the sword cultivator's horrified gaze.

The blood mist exploded, and the sword cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was cut in two in mid-air before he could even scream. His mangled body fell helplessly into the forest below.

Lu Lin grabbed at the air, and the opponent's storage bag and magic sword were taken in by an invisible force and directly put into the inner space of the Martial Arts Furnace.

"what?!"

This swift and decisive scene terrified the two other cultivators who were closely following behind, making them nearly fall off their magical artifacts.

The Qingping Sword Sect cultivators were just as strong as them, yet they were instantly killed in a single exchange.
Who is this person? Besides Mu Yetong, when did the Martial Alliance acquire such a terrifying expert at the peak of the Innate Realm?!
"Take off! Create distance and wear him down with magic!"

The beautiful woman was the first to react. She screamed and her body suddenly shot up, instantly soaring thousands of meters into the air.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, hundreds of silver needles as thin as cow hair shot out from the air, transforming into a dense rain of silver light that showered Xia Qianyu and the others from head to toe.

Xia Qianyu and the others were shocked and drew their weapons, preparing to fight to the death.

"Keep running, don't worry about anything!"

Lu Lin's cold voice came through, yet it contained a strange power to calm people's hearts.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qianyu and the others subconsciously composed themselves and gritted their teeth to continue running forward.

Zheng!
Lu Lin didn't even look, and swung his sword out with a backhand.

A crescent-shaped streak of crimson sword energy swept across the sky, surging through the mountains and forests. The seemingly deadly rain of silver needles collided with the sword energy and were instantly pulverized into the finest dust by the violent energy.

shhhhhh!
At the same time, the evil cultivator who was riding the gourd had also risen into the sky. He smiled sinisterly and waved his hand to send out more than a dozen bone-piercing nails swirling with black energy, aimed directly at Xia Qianyu and the others who were fleeing.

This bone-piercing nail exudes a chilling resentment. Although it is only a mid-grade magic weapon, with the spiritual power of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, killing a mid-Innate Realm martial artist is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Lin unleashed over a dozen condensed crimson sword beams from his Blood Pattern Steel Sword.

Each sword beam precisely locked onto a bone-piercing nail, colliding fiercely in mid-air and blasting them all away.

"Hmph, you really think that just because you're hiding high in the sky, I can't do anything to you?"

Lu Lin's eyes were icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

He stomped his legs hard, and his body exploded forward once again!

Boom!

The air exploded under the strain, and he transformed into a streak of crimson light, leaving a white shockwave behind him as he soared into the sky at a speed far exceeding his previous speed, heading straight for the beautiful woman!
At the same time, the violent blood energy rapidly condensed in his left hand, transforming into a blood-red spear!
The beautiful woman was terrified and turned pale. She desperately tried to raise her body while setting up nine layers of defense in front of her.

"die!"

Lu Lin roared, his left arm muscles bulging, as if he were about to throw something.

The beautiful woman was terrified and focused all her attention on defense.

Swish!
The crimson spear flew from his hand, transforming into a crimson lightning bolt that tore through the night!
However, the spear's target was not her, but the evil cultivator on the other side!

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

The change happened so fast that the evil cultivator's entire attention was drawn to Lu Lin's earth-shattering momentum. In his haste, he only had time to set up two thin layers of defense in front of him.

puff!

The crimson spear pierced through his defenses with overwhelming force, then plunged deep into his chest. Violent energy exploded within him, blasting a terrifying, gaping hole!
"Ugh..."

The evil cultivator let out a resentful roar, his life force rapidly draining away, and his body crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, creating a large crater in the forest with a loud thud.

"Dead? It seems that not every Foundation Establishment cultivator has a substitute treasure." Lu Lin understood.

That's normal. The substitute treasure is extremely precious. It's a trump card that can save your life in critical moments. How could everyone have one?
What one can possess is either an incredible stroke of luck or a powerful backer.

Having landed a successful blow, Lu Lin didn't pause. He unleashed the full power of several blood-based techniques within his body and pounced once more on the terrified woman.

"what!"

The beautiful woman screamed, no longer daring to retaliate. She desperately activated the magical artifact beneath her feet, transforming into a streak of light as she fled in the direction of the manor she had come from.

However, Lu Lin's short-range burst of power was terrifying. The air around his body was violently rubbed together, creating a visible ripple and emitting a piercing sonic boom.

In just a few breaths, he had caught up with the beautiful woman.

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, spare my life! Don't kill me! Whatever you want, I... I can give you anything..."

The beautiful woman felt the murderous intent emanating from behind her, which seemed to tear her apart. Terrified, she became incoherent, yet she still forced a seductive expression and desperately twisted her body to make suggestive gestures.

"How dare a mere first-level martial artist address a celestial master as a fellow Daoist?" Lu Lin's voice was devoid of any emotion. "Furthermore, I do not indulge in women."

Zheng!
Before the words were finished, a sharp, blood-red sword light shot into the sky, staining the entire night sky with an eerie red glow.

The nine layers of defense in front of the beautiful woman were as fragile as paper in the face of the sword light, and they shattered one after another with a series of crisp "crack" sounds.

puff!

A flash of blood appeared.

The beauty's face froze instantly, her well-maintained head flying into the air, leaving a trail of blood as it tumbled and fell into the dense forest a hundred meters away.

Lu Lin reached out and grabbed the beautiful woman's storage bag and magical artifacts. Then, he turned into a streak of blood-red light and rushed into the forest below, taking away the evil cultivator's belongings as well.

After doing all this, he soared into the sky, caught up with Xia Qianyu and the others, and continued on his way at full speed.

The rest of the journey went surprisingly smoothly.

Whether it was a change of fortune or the earth-shattering battle on Mu Yetong's side was too intense, drawing away all the attention of the five major sects, no other cultivators came after them.

They ran for hundreds of miles in one go, only slowing down when their internal energy was almost exhausted.

Apart from Lu Lin, who was breathing heavily, Xia Qianyu and the others were panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Just then, Lu Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked ahead.

"Someone!"

A martial arts alliance disciple also noticed the anomaly ahead and cried out in alarm.

The crowd immediately tensed up, their relaxed minds tightening again as they gripped their weapons tightly.

Not far ahead in the night sky, a slender figure stood silently, her cool gaze already fixed on them.

"is her……"

Lu Lin was completely stunned.

This person is actually Luo Siqing!

Isn't Luo Siqing in seclusion?

When did they come out? And they just happened to be here to block them!

Luo Siqing's gaze swept over Xia Qianyu and the others, finally settling on Lu Lin's unremarkable face. Her cold voice pierced through the night wind, clearly reaching his ears: "If the Demonic Sect finds out what you're doing, your fate will be terrible. At that time, even I won't be able to protect you."

Hey!
Seen through!

A million grass mud horses galloped through Lu Lin's mind. How did this woman see through his disguise?

"My lady, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? It seems like this is the first time we've met."

He was making a final struggle.

Upon hearing this, Luo Siqing's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint arc on her beautiful, aloof face.

She didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Lu Lin, her eyes seeming to say: Even if you turn to ashes, I will still recognize you.

"..."

Lu Lin surrendered completely.

"Okay, how did you recognize me?" he asked helplessly.

This is very important!
He thought his transformation technique was flawless, but if it could be easily seen through, how would he ever get by again?
Upon hearing this question, Luo Siqing's clear eyes flickered, and a faint blush crept up to her ears, which she quickly suppressed.

"I have my own way of doing things, you don't need to know."

Ok?
This expression...

Lu Lin's heart stirred.

Could it be... that some of his little guys got inside her and left some special mark?

"Are you here to capture us?"

Lu Lin quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked in a deep voice.

"That was originally the case."

Luo Siqing nodded calmly and then said, "But you can't escape like this. You're too slow. As long as the experts from the five major sects are free, it's only a matter of time before they catch up with you."

With that, she waved her hand, and a delicate flying boat the size of a palm appeared in her palm. It grew as it faced the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a magnificent flying boat several meters long, quietly hovering in mid-air.

"Come aboard." Luo Siqing stood at the bow of the boat first, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Xia Qianyu and the others exchanged glances, all subconsciously looking towards Lu Lin.

From their conversation, it wasn't hard for them to guess that this mysterious and powerful "senior" actually knew the ethereal female immortal master in front of them!

"Go up there, she's trustworthy!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Lin leaped into the air and landed steadily on the flying boat.

With his assurance, Xia Qianyu and the others no longer hesitated and jumped onto the flying boat.

"Where to?" Luo Siqing's cold voice rang out again.

"The Great Xia Dynasty!" Xia Qianyu answered first.

"We can only send you to the border of the Yan Kingdom."

Luo Siqing said calmly, then began to perform a hand seal.

The flying boat shone brightly with spiritual light, then suddenly trembled and transformed into a streak of azure light, tearing through the night and disappearing into the horizon.

Their speed was more than ten times faster than when they were desperately fleeing!
