“Oh no! Jiang Wanying is chasing after us!”
“What should we do?”
Many people’s expressions changed.
They had all witnessed Jiang Wanying’s strength. Even with Lin Shen by their side, they still didn’t have the slightest confidence in defeating Jiang Wanying.
It was already too late for them to escape. The group of injured cultivators couldn’t outrun Jiang Wanying at all.
Xie Jingsheng’s expression changed several times. He suddenly gritted his teeth and was about to say that he would stay behind to cover the retreat and let the others escape first, but before he could say anything, Lin Shen spoke. “I’ll distract him. You guys go first!”
Everyone looked at Lin Shen in shock, while Xie Jingsheng, Ai Jingting, and the others were shocked.
“No, Junior Brother Lin, that Jiang Wanying is abnormally powerful. I’m afraid you’re not his match alone!” Xie Jingsheng objected.
Ai Jingting quickly nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s too dangerous for you to be alone!”
Lin Shen said calmly, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to fight to the death with Jiang Wanying. I’ll just stall him for a while. When you’re far away, I’ll find an opportunity to escape.”
Seeing that Xie Jingsheng and the others were still hesitating, Lin Shen emphasized.
“There’s no time to lose. Leave quickly, or it’ll be too late!”
After all, Xie Jingsheng wasn’t a newbie. Knowing that this was not the time to be wishy-washy, he finally stopped hesitating. He took a long look at Lin Shen and said solemnly, “Take care, Junior Brother Lin!”
After making the decision, everyone picked up their speed.
Lin Shen calmly watched as everyone left. Then, he turned around and faced Jiang Wanying.
The reason why he stayed behind to cover the retreat was naturally not because he was sacrificing himself.
Lin Shen had long learned of Jiang Wanying’s strength from Xie Jingsheng. He felt that he could deal with that man, so he persuaded Xie Jingsheng and the others to leave.
With such a large group of burdens, he couldn’t fight Jiang Wanying as freely as he wanted.
On the other hand, he would be much more at ease on his own. Regardless of whether he was fighting or retreating, there was no need to worry.
Furthermore, he had come to the spirit cave to break through to the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage as soon as possible. Naturally, he didn’t intend to waste the remaining time on hiding.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly most suitable for him to act alone.
Jiang Wanying saw the actions of the Nine Suns Sect members from afar. Seeing this, he didn’t stop them. Instead, he stopped 30 to 40 meters away from Lin Shen and sized him up a few times, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
“Looks like you’re the one who killed my Junior Brothers!”
Jiang Wanying was about to catch up to Peng Junqin, but the latter suddenly took out a treasure, and his speed suddenly increased by several times, shaking him off in the blink of an eye.
Having no other choice, Jiang Wanying had to return to the place where the battle had started. However, he was shocked and furious to discover that all the Blood Sea Sect disciples had been annihilated.
In a fit of rage, Jiang Wanying followed the remnant aura along the way and aggressively chased after Lin Shen.
He had examined the corpses of the Blood Sea Sect disciples and found that they had all died under some kind of sword energy. Moreover, they had all been killed in one strike. After thinking for a moment, he understood that a capable cultivator must have suddenly appeared and saved Xie Jingsheng and the others.
Lin Shen’s face was unfamiliar, and he didn’t belong to any of the groups from before. He also stayed behind alone to cover the retreat. It was obvious who he was.
Hearing Jiang Wanying’s question, Lin Shen didn’t say a word. He only calmly took out his Pure Yang Talisman Sword.
Jiang Wanying already had an answer in his mind. He didn’t care if Lin Shen admitted it or not. He looked at him and nodded.
“You’re much more courageous than the guy who ran away just now. To show my admiration for you, I can leave your corpse intact!”
Lin Shen smiled and didn’t argue. Without another word, he raised his sword and rushed toward Jiang Wanying.
A cold light flashed in Jiang Wanying’s eyes. Three blood souls instantly left his body and charged forward with a murderous aura.
Although Jiang Wanying was at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, he had already forged 32 spirit meridians in his body and was only a step away from having a second-grade spirit meridian. His spiritual essence was extremely dense, and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary ninth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivators.
As for these three blood souls, he had spent countless efforts to refine them. Their strength was comparable to ordinary cultivators at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!
Under the combined attack of three blood souls, ordinary cultivators at the eighth level of Bright Aperture Stage would probably die in a few rounds.
Unfortunately, they didn’t encounter an ordinary eighth-level Bright Aperture Stage cultivator, but a monster that couldn’t be measured by common sense!
Before the three blood souls could reach Lin Shen, a huge scarlet palm appeared out of thin air and spread out for a hundred meters. It cut through the blue sky and smashed down from the sky!
Caught off guard, the three blood souls couldn’t dodge in time and were immediately struck by the scarlet palm!
As the scorching force and flames swept past, the thick color on the three blood souls immediately dimmed. Their erratic movements were no longer as fast as before.
Jiang Wanying, who was calmly watching Lin Shen’s final struggle, couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
“True Martial technique!”
This kid had actually mastered a True Martial technique!
Jiang Wanying’s heart was in turmoil. He never expected to see the legendary True Martial technique here!
He could clearly sense the power of Nature contained in the scarlet palm.
Apart from the legendary True Martial techniques, no other martial technique had such power!
Jiang Wanying naturally understood what True Martial meant.
When he recovered from his shock, he looked pleasantly surprised.
Those who could master True Martial techniques were definitely worthy of the t.i.tle of peerless geniuses. If he could kill this kid here, it would undoubtedly be a considerable loss to the Nine Suns Sect.
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Jiang Wanying’s heart intensified, and he no longer held back. He immediately shouted angrily, and blood light surged around his body, turning into a huge blood-colored hand that was more than ten meters long. It slapped down fiercely at Lin Shen!
But in the next moment, dazzling golden armor suddenly appeared and enveloped Lin Shen.
The giant blood-red hand hit the golden armor and made a m.u.f.fled sound. The golden armor was unscathed.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanying was stunned, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Another True Martial technique?!
