Chapter 43 - 37: How Boring It Is to Fight and Kill (Part 2) – Big Chapter_2
Lin Yi’s face changed dramatically. Despite using only proficiency-level talisman templates, he didn’t expect Zhang Yuan Cheng to remain unscathed under the barrage of so many talismans. He was enveloped in a green light shield that seemed to be even more robust than the amulet’s light shield.
Seeing the fearful figure of Lin Yi, Zhang Yuan Cheng was overjoyed inside, “Did you think I would come here without making any preparations? Don’t forget, I am a Spiritual Field Manager, and the spirit stones I have gathered over the years would take you a lifetime to earn, even if you worked your fields daily.”
“Just the protective artifacts I have could reach two or three, and with my spiritual power to support them, you couldn’t break them even if you attacked for days with your talisman templates.”
Lin Yi felt a surge of envy and resentment. Was this the gap between the wealthy and the destitute? He had spent more than a month laboriously producing his talisman templates and now, he couldn’t afford to buy even a single spell.
This guy even had two protective artifacts on his person. Those were several layers above an amulet. One magic artifact would cost hundreds and even up to thousands of spirit stones. Breaking them with his proficiency-level talisman templates was wishful thinking.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lin Yi was about to flee, but a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, blocking his way, “Disciple 38 of the Bing series, you can’t escape and if you dare to run, I will torture you to death.”
“Manager Zhang, we both are disciples of Liu Yun Sect, and your killing of fellow disciples would be discovered and investigated by the Law Hall. At that time, you won’t escape death either,” replied Lin Yi, his face pale, shouting loudly.
Zhang Yuan Cheng burst into laughter, looking at him like a fool, “Haha, what a naive and clumsy child. This is the Monster Beast region and your neighbor, Lv Qing Ming, knew you were coming here. If you’re killed by a monster beast and your bones are nowhere to be found, that’s entirely plausible.”
First, he used a binding charm to trap Lin Yi, then slowly approached him, sneering, “I’m not afraid to tell you, I’ve killed no less than twenty spirit farmers like you, and the Law Hall still hasn’t caught me. A lowly Outer Sect Spirit Farmer like you, do you really think the Law Hall will investigate thoroughly? Stop dreaming.”
“I know you sent Xiao He from Xun Fang Pavilion away in secret. I’ll find her and torture her to death. Then, you two can catch up in the underworld. Now, it’s your turn to go.”
Anger welled up inside Lin Yi. He didn’t expect this guy not to let Xiao He go. Shaking his head, he returned the foolish look to Zhang Yuan Cheng, “It’s a pity, Manager Zhang. Did you really think I was planning to kill you here? You’re really naive. I just wish to peacefully farm. Fighting and killing is boring.”
Upon hearing these words, the previously confident Zhang Yuan Cheng’s face changed dramatically, “What are you talking about… die!” He used his palm like a sword, gathered all his spiritual power, and slapped fiercely towards Lin Yi’s head.
At this moment, Lin Yi didn’t just sit and wait for death, or wait for the help of Senior Brother Li Yuan Qing, instead, he opened his mouth and revealed a talisman template. He bit down gently, activating the talisman template with spiritual power, then spat it out in an instant.
A ball of fire shot straight towards Zhang Yuan Cheng. This talisman template was a Great Achievement Level Raging Fire Talisman. Subsequently, he shrunk from the restraint and scattered a bag of poison powder.
Feeling the power of the fireball, Zhang Yuan Cheng’s face changed. He hastily retreated while igniting his artifact’s protective shield. Suddenly, a flying sword appeared and easily pierced through his protective shield, heading straight for him.
The fireball and the poison powder rushed successfully straight at Zhang Yuan Cheng, hitting him in the face. He let out a scream of pain. At this point, the flying sword also severely hit him, knocking him flying.
While screaming in pain, he used a spell to heal his injuries. His face was mangled from the burns of the Great Achievement Level Raging Fire Talisman. He roared furiously, “Who is it? Show yourself, Lin Yi you treacherous bastard, even hiding talisman in your mouth, and summoning help. I will kill you!”
Li Yuan Qing slowly descended from a tree, held the flying sword in his hand, and looked expressionlessly at Zhang Yuan Cheng.
“Li… Senior Brother Li Yuan Qing, it’s you… how could you have invited a disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren? That’s impossible…” Zhang Yuan Cheng said in disbelief. How could an insignificant Qi Refinement Three Layers and Outer Sect Spirit Farmer invite such powerful Foundation Building cultivators or even a famous character?
“Senior Brother Li, thank you for your help. I hope you’ve heard everything, please handle it.” Lin Yi gave a deep bow to Li Yuan Qing.
Li Yuan Qing slightly nodded, glanced at Zhang Yuan Cheng, “A mere Spiritual Field Manager who has killed twenty fellow disciples, unforgivable.” He promptly cast several talismans, imprisoning Zhang Yuan Cheng’s spiritual power, and then tied him up with a rope to prevent him from battling desperately to the death.
“Hahaha, you… you all actually don’t plan on killing me, but intend to bring me to the Law Hall? Senior Brother Li, I’ve done nothing wrong. You all knew each other and deliberately conspired against me. Only relying on your words won’t prove anything.” Zhang Yuan Cheng’s face changed as he burst into laughter.
He also had some connections in the Sect; as long as he was willing to give up all his assets, he believed there would be someone willing to help him.
“Hehe, did you think I only invited Senior Brother Li? Fellow Daoists, come out.” Lin Yi sneered. As a cautious person, how could he not consider every possibility? Therefore, he had spent a few talisman templates to invite a few more fellow Daoists..
