NOVPUBChapter 651: Chapter 359: Strange Land_2 Chapter 651: Chapter 359: Strange Land_2 And those treasures all fell into the hands of the Lin Family, Lin Tianfeng didn’t carry them with him.
As a result, she didn’t gain anything and fell into another crisis.
To be honest, Sun Ling’er initially harbored some resentment towards Lin Family members.
After all, she provided information about the cave dwelling and spent no small amount of effort and resources, yet ended up with nothing and kept falling into life-or-death situations.
Even though she had been impetuous at the time, she never expected such an outcome.
In this way, even if she remained alive, she still gained nothing; even if Lin Tianfeng acknowledged her contribution, she likely wouldn’t get much.
But now, in such a crisis, Lin Tianfeng could have left on his own, letting her fend for herself.
...
From his perspective, it would have been entirely possible to do so.
However, Lin Tianfeng didn’t do that; instead, he stood firmly in front of her without abandoning her.
Despite his serious injuries and being forced to retreat step by step, he still refused to back down.
Being valued and protected in this way touched the softest spot in her heart.
At this moment, Lin Tianfeng was still fiercely fighting the Red-tailed Wolf, landing blow after blow without holding back.
Both sides were engaged in a bloody battle, determined to kill their opponent right there.
It was hard to imagine such a primitive and bloody melee was being participated in by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
“Bang bang bang…”
After several more exchanges, Lin Tianfeng was beaten back again and again, thrown through the air, and smashed heavily beside Sun Ling’er.
He struggled to get up, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood, but managed not to fall.
At that moment, Lin Tianfeng’s tall and upright figure caused Sun Ling’er to fall into a daze.
“Roar…”
As a scream echoed, the body of the Red-tailed Wolf smashed into the ground, the sound of the impact completely pulling Sun Ling’er back to reality.
By the time she came to, she found the Red-tailed Wolf lying on the ground, its body separated from its beastly form, its blood staining a large expanse of earth.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianfeng’s face was pale, and he staggered toward her.
At that moment, she found it hard to believe: how could Lin Tianfeng, who had seemed destined for defeat, have slain the fierce Red-tailed Wolf?
In that brief period of time, what exactly had happened?
Little did she know that Lin Tianfeng had just been driven to despair.
Despite not wanting to reveal the secret of the Great Sun Sword Qi Art, at that moment, Lin Tianfeng had no choice but to unleash the Sword Qi he had been nurturing for a long time.
He knew very well the power of this Spirit Art.
As it didn’t require Spiritual Power to activate, it was often a last resort for desperate situations, even a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast might not be able to withstand this Sword Qi.
To use such a life-saving tactic against a First Order Demon Beast was indeed an overkill, a waste of great resources on a minor problem.
In fact, it was indeed so; the moment the Great Sun Sword Qi Art was activated, the Red-tailed Wolf was overwhelmed by the immense aura, forgetting even to run away.
It might also have been the oppressive force of the Sword Qi that had immobilized the Red-tailed Wolf as well.
In any case, the Red-tailed Wolf had no chance to resist and could only await the Sword Qi to swiftly decapitate it.
And having used this life-saving card, exposing this secret in front of Sun Ling’er, Lin Tianfeng had not a single regret.
Perhaps it was because he understood that Sun Ling’er had gained nothing and had fallen into crisis, Lin Tianfeng felt somewhat guilty.
Or perhaps it was a special emotion within him that did not want to see Sun Ling’er perish.
No matter the reason, he had ultimately made this move.
And at this time, as Sun Ling’er looked at Lin Tianfeng’s faltering figure, the trace of resentment in her heart disappeared completely.
Replacing it was a sense of deep gratitude, and an indescribable affection.
While she was lost in thought, Lin Tianfeng had already cleaned up the aftermath of the battle and once again came to her side.
At that point, Lin Tianfeng looked around the unfamiliar surroundings, scooped up Sun Ling’er in his arms, and then darted off in a certain direction.
Being held in Lin Tianfeng’s embrace, feeling his masculine scent, the heartbeat from his chest, and the hot temperature, Sun Ling’er’s face turned red, her shy appearance incredibly charming.
Lin Tianfeng also felt the strangeness of the delicate body in his arms, and the faint contact of skin; his heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up significantly.
With their faces flushed, the two of them disappeared into the woodland. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Half a day later, Lin Tianfeng and his companion had traveled dozens of miles and arrived in a secluded canyon.
This canyon was quite peaceful and well-hidden, with no traces of demonic beasts or cultivators nearby, making it an excellent place for a retreat.
However, their condition was recovering very slowly, with their strength greatly diminished, and the unfamiliar surroundings posed a significant danger.
Considering this, they decided to establish a temporary cave abode on-site and focus on healing their injuries before making any further plans.
Quickly, Lin Tianfeng created a cave and entered it with Sun Ling’er.
Inside the cave, Lin Tianfeng and his companion sat on the ground, each taking out some healing pills and pills for recovering spiritual power to consume.
Before long, the sound of steady breathing filled the cave, and both fell into a deep state of cultivation.
…
Jingzhou, Yu’an Country’s Cultivation Realm.
Yu’an Country bordered Huafeng Country, both being central states in Jingzhou with vast territories.
Both the soaring cultivators and the weak mortal population had a large base number.
In such a land where the Immortal Path flourished and sects and noble families were numerous, the Golden Elixir Forces were plentiful, and the overall strength of the country was much stronger than the distant Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
In the Nanfeng Mountain Range west of Yu’an Country, two figures appeared above a mountain top – one chasing, the other fleeing.
The speed of the two figures was not slow; one was panic-stricken with an exceptionally pale face.
The other wasn’t in a much better condition, but from his aura, it was clear that he was fairing somewhat better than the one fleeing.
The one in pursuit happened to be Lin Tianhu, who had been sucked into a spatial fissure.
The moment he was caught in the spatial fissure, Lin Tianhu had lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a river valley.
But his luck was far better than that of Lin Tianfeng and his companion under similar conditions; at least he wasn’t gravely injured, only his spiritual power was significantly depleted, and he suffered some minor flesh wounds.
However, just as he planned to find a place to retreat for cultivation, he inexplicably encountered this Blue Robed Cultivator.
Seeing that he was injured and guessing that his cultivation was only about the third level of Foundation Establishment, the Blue Robed Cultivator harbored malicious intent.
Lin Tianhu, not knowing his whereabouts, didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
Yet the man was aggressive and attacked without reason, seemingly confident in his approach.
Unfortunately, this person greatly underestimated Lin Tianhu’s strength. Even though he was injured and his cultivation was a level lower than the aggressor’s.
But after just over a dozen exchanges, the man was forced to retreat with many injuries, and one arm had been severed.
By now, the man had realized Lin Tianhu’s strength, recognizing that he had underestimated him and provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
Although he initially thought to abandon his quarry and flee, Lin Tianhu was already agitated and was not one to shy away from troubles.
He didn’t like to cause trouble, but when faced with the enemy’s malice, he was certainly not a benevolent person.
Since the fight had begun and he had made enemies, not to mention his ignorance of this person’s background or whether there was a family sect behind him.
If this person left and returned with allies to cause him trouble, he could end up in an even bigger predicament.
Rather than releasing a tiger back to the mountain, it was better to eliminate future troubles completely.
Understanding this, Lin Tianhu relentlessly pursued him, chasing him for more than ten miles, until they reached this place.
At this moment, the injured man’s face was ashen, his expression extremely ugly, filled with immense regret.
Of all the targets to choose from, he had to encounter such a tough individual!
Regrettably, even cultivators have no elixirs for regret to consume.
Otherwise, he would have taken one without hesitation to escape the clutches of this fearsome man.
At this instant, as the gap continued to close, he feared that within a few breaths, Lin Tianhu would catch up and kill him.
Considering the current situation, he was well aware that a good ending was absolutely impossible.
