However, one person didn’t believe Lin Shen at all.
In the dead silence, someone snorted.
“Aren’t you afraid of hurting your tongue by boasting?”
Peng Junqin glanced at Lin Shen from the corner of his eye and sneered disdainfully.
“Jiang Wanying is an expert who has forged more than 30 spirit meridians and has profound armaments. He’s almost invincible in the Bright Aperture Stage. How can you, a fellow who has just forged at most one or two spirit meridians, kill him?
“Even if you want to flatter yourself, this is not the way to do it!”
Xie Jingsheng, Ai Jingting, and the others immediately looked at Peng Junqin angrily.
Although they also had doubts about Lin Shen killing Jiang Wanying, they couldn’t allow this despicable person to slander Lin Shen.
Xie Jingsheng was furious. Just as he was about to scold Peng Junqin, his expression suddenly changed as he looked into the distance.
At the same time, the others also noticed the blood light on the horizon.
Five streaks of blood-red light flew over at an astonishing speed like meteors.
The familiar cold aura that seemed undoubtedly indicated the ident.i.ty of who was coming.
“It’s the Blood Sea Sect’s pursuers!” Xie Jingsheng’s expression was extremely ugly.
They had just been discussing the Blood Sea Sect’s scheme, but they didn’t expect that they would be pursued in the blink of an eye.
Judging from the speed of the blood light, even if the people weren’t as strong as Jiang Wanying, they wouldn’t be much weaker. They were probably at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage as well.
Before everyone could recover from their panic, the five streaks of light had already approached from afar and landed in front of them.
The blood light dissipated, revealing five figures. The leader was Chen Yan.
A cold smile appeared on Chen Yan’s face as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
“Very good. Looks like the rest of the Ninesuns Sky Sect disciples are all here. We can take care of them all at once, saving us the trouble of searching everywhere!”
A Blood Sea Sect disciple chimed in and laughed. “Senior Brother Shen, I think quite a few of them look promising. You have to take it easy when you make a move later. Don’t destroy their primordial spirits. I’ve been lacking a few materials to refine blood souls recently!”
The other three also looked tempting.
Primordial spirits of Bright Aperture Stage cultivators were rare. If they could obtain a few, they could refine a few top-notch blood souls. It would be quite beneficial to their strength.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan glanced at them and said coldly, “These people could kill Jiang Wanying, so their strength can’t be underestimated. If you still look down on them, don’t blame me for not reminding you!”
As soon as he said this, the smiles of the four Blood Sea Sect disciples immediately disappeared, and their expressions turned solemn.
Although they weren’t used to Jiang Wanying’s usual arrogant att.i.tude, they had to admit that Jiang Wanying’s strength far exceeded any of them.
They were no match for him in a one-on-one battle.
Two against one, they could barely hold on for a moment.
They were only equally matched with Jiang Wanying when three or four of them fought against him together.
They were only confident in defeating Jiang Wanying when Shen Yan joined them.
Although they didn’t know how the Nine Suns Sect disciples killed Jiang Wanying, since they could do it, it meant that they weren’t weak and shouldn’t be underestimated.
Realizing that, the four of them no longer looked down upon their opponents.
While the Blood Sea Sect disciples were secretly reminding themselves, Xie Jingsheng and the others were confused.
When they saw the five Blood Sea Sect disciples talking as if no one was around and treating them as prey, they were especially angry. However, what they heard next stunned them on the spot.
Was Jiang Wanying… was really dead?
Everyone turned to look at Lin Shen at the same time, completely shocked.
Lin Shen really killed Jiang Wanying!
Peng Junqin was flabbergasted.
He wasn’t lying? Did he really kill Jiang Wanying?
Their reaction immediately attracted Shen Yan’s attention.
The latter followed their gaze and spotted Lin Shen. After sizing up him a few times, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed across them.
“A Bright Aperture cultivator who has forged a spirit meridian. Interesting. No wonder Jiang Wanying died in your hands!”
The spirit meridian made all the difference even if the two cultivators were both at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.
Even if a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator had only forged a spirit meridian, their spiritual essence would begin to transform and gain a trace of spirituality. As a result, their strength would soar.
Since this group of Ninesuns Sky Sect disciples had such an expert, it wouldn’t be too surprised if they worked together to kill Jiang Wanying.
Chen Yan muttered to himself, but he didn’t realize that the truth of the matter was very different from what he had guessed.
Lin Shen had no intention of correcting their enemies. His gaze swept past the five Blood Sea Sect disciples, and he quickly sensed the aura of spirituality on them.
These five people were also Bright Aperture Stage cultivators who had forged spirit meridians!
However, the number of spirit meridians they forged was far inferior to Jiang Wanying. At the very least, Lin Shen didn’t feel as much threat from them.
“However, since they’ve already started to forge a spirit meridian, they might have Cast Spirit Pills on them…”
Shen Yan suddenly realized that the way Lin Shen looked at the five of them seemed to have changed as if he was looking at some prey.
This gaze made him extremely uncomfortable. He immediately snorted and said coldly,
“Attack! Kill all of them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the five of them took out their enchanted armaments at the same time and charged at the Nine Suns Sect disciples with killing intent.
Seeing this, Xie Jingsheng and the others’ expressions changed. They raised their weapons and prepared to fight.
At the same time, Peng Junqin quietly took a few steps back. He once again had the thought of escaping. He was prepared to wait for everyone to start fighting before taking the opportunity to run away.
“These five people are obviously very powerful. It’s impossible for trash like Xie Jingsheng to be a match for them. After 1 leave this place, I’ll immediately find a place to hide. The spirit cave is very important. The sect will never give it up. Reinforcements will come sooner or later, and I’ll be saved. There’s no need to tempt fate with these idiots!”
Peng Junqin thought coldly to himself. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure flash past. He turned his head and looked over. It was none other than Lin Shen.
Amidst the crowd of people who were either waiting on the spot or secretly waiting for an opportunity to escape, Lin Shen’s action was so conspicuous that it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Facing Shen Yan and his people who were charging over aggressively, Lin Shen calmly took a step forward and suddenly struck out with his sword.
Vigorous true energy instantly turned into a heat wave that surged out. It was as if a red light flashed in the void!
A scorching red sun suddenly rose up, spraying out golden light that covered the entire s.p.a.ce as it crushed down on Shen Yan and his people.
At that instant, all that was left in everyone’s vision was a blood-red sun that grew larger and larger, as though it wanted to drown and devour the entire world!
The sun’s brilliance was enough to cover a thousand mountains, and it pulled the sky down!
This was the first time he had displayed the True Martial Nine Divine Sun Sword in front of other people since his breakthrough!
