NOVPUBChapter 823: Chapter 443: The Shocked Lin Xingcheng Chapter 823: Chapter 443: The Shocked Lin Xingcheng Lin Tianming’s face was pale, and his body wracked with intense pain, causing him to grit his teeth and grimace involuntarily.
After getting somewhat accustomed to the pain, he used the Tiangang Sword to help himself stand up, casting a long shadow under the slanting rays of the setting sun as his straight figure rose.
At the same time, a light breeze rustled his billowing robe as his sharp eyes swept the entire area.
Looking around, the battlefield was also a complete mess. The flat earth was pitted and uneven, and the bodies of numerous cultivators littered the ground, with blood staining large patches of land red.
Especially since many of the cultivators’ bodies were incomplete, with various unrecognizable parts and limbs blurred with flesh and blood, creating a striking sight at a glance.
Just this bloody and pitiful scene was enough to make one feel nauseous on sight.
Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sect cultivators had all been stunned, seemingly unable to believe the result of Meng Qingfeng being killed by him.
...
It was only after several screams that a group of Qingyun Sect cultivators snapped out of it.
Following the direction of the screams, it turned out that Lin Tianming had casually swung his sword a few times, eliminating a few Qingyun Sect cultivators who were relatively close to him.
After the killing of a few people, Lin Tianming turned his head.
Despite not making another move, his face was filled with intense killing intent, and his piercing gaze made the hearts of these Qingyun Sect cultivators tremble.
For a moment, each person’s face was pale, all displaying expressions of shock and fear.
“Run!”
Someone shouted loudly, their piercing voice shattering the brief silence.
And in that instant, nearly a hundred Qingyun Sect cultivators at the scene reacted, each one turning and scattering to flee for their lives.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming waved his sword to cut down a few Qingyun Sect cultivators and then let them go without pursuing any further.
He did so because his injuries were severe, his mana thoroughly exhausted, leaving him with barely any combat strength.
Even though his physical strength was enough to be unafraid of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, in order not to further aggravate his injuries, he had to grant them a way out.
After all, after these two rounds of Golden Core battles, these people were all terrified.
At least for a short while, there likely wouldn’t be any Qingyun Sect cultivator daring to stay in the Luoyun Mountain Range.
Otherwise, if discovered by the Lin Family, they would certainly be surrounded and eliminated.
As such, Lin Tianming merely put up a symbolic resistance before letting them escape the area.
As for their destination, it would surely be the Whirlwind Mountain Range adjacent to the Luoyun Mountain Range. Once they entered the territory of Huangyang Kingdom, these people would be out of danger.
And now, with the Lin Family’s Golden Core combatants injured and the Foundation Establishment Clan Members having low cultivation, they temporarily had no ability to pursue and eliminate them.
Therefore, they could only let it go and make the most of this brief period of peace to rest and recover as quickly as possible, in preparation for possible retaliation from Qingyun Sect.
However, the timing of such retaliation was uncertain; it could be very soon, or Qingyun Sect might opt out of invading Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World due to the Lin Family’s strength.
Nevertheless, he guessed that Qingyun Sect had suffered a big loss this time and would not act rashly for a short period.
If they indeed sought revenge against the Lin Family, they would surely mobilize the majority of their Golden Core combat strength; otherwise, even if they came seeking revenge, they might return without achieving anything.
After all, with the four Golden Core Cultivators of the Lin Family, plus Tian Ming’s terrifying combat power far surpassing peers, Qingyun Sect wouldn’t have the ability to annihilate the Lin Family without bringing in Late Stage Golden Core cultivators.
And Late Stage Golden Core cultivators, being a very limited presence in the stronger Huangyang Country Cultivation World, were unlikely to come to Wei Kingdom.
In summary, after surviving this crisis, the strength of the Lin Family would rise to another level.
Yet even so, they could not be complacent right now; a stronger storm might be lurking ahead.
When that time came, the Lin Family would face an even greater crisis.
Aware of this, Lin Tianming dared not pause or take the situation lightly.
What he needed to do now was to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible and then eliminate the disadvantage of their Magical Treasures.
Fortunately, after these two rounds of battles, the Magical Treasure Blue Longsword of Xu Zhi, and Meng Qingfeng’s Black Giant Axe had been acquired by the Lin Family.
Together with the Golden Star Ruler, a Magical Treasure left by the forebears, the Lin Family had three Magical Treasures in their possession.
As long as they refined these treasures, their strength would significantly increase, and the next time they clashed with other Golden Core Cultivators, they would not suffer as much.
Returning his focus, Lin Tianming tucked these thoughts away in his heart, and immediately took out a Solidifying Pill to swallow. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
As the elixir melted, the immense energy contained within began to circulate, and he finally felt the intense pain in his body subside.
Then, he walked towards the corpse of Meng Qingfeng.
Soon, he arrived beside Meng Qingfeng’s body and took two storage bags from him.
Having done this, he also found Meng Qingfeng’s Giant Axe Magical Treasure and carefully weighed it.
Upon his investigation, he found that this Black Giant Axe used by Meng Qingfeng was extremely heavy, presumably weighing at least ten thousand catties.
He wondered whether the Giant Axe Magical Treasure was something Meng Qingfeng had obtained from somewhere or had commissioned to be refined.
If it was the former, then the previous owner of the Giant Axe must have had significant strength, at least having been used by a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator.
If it was the latter, then refining this Magical Treasure must have cost him all his wealth, using rare and precious materials, to forge such a weapon.
