Chapter 335 - 198: News of the Ancient Cultivation Technique!

"Friend, I didn’t expect us to be so fated."

While rushing on a sword flight, a familiar voice came from a fast-approaching light in the distance.

Looking closer, it turned out to be the beautiful and tall female cultivator he had encountered on the island before, now flying swiftly on a cyan flying boat.

On the boat, there was also a scholarly-looking man with a stern expression, glaring at the female cultivator.

It seemed the two were Dao companions, and the man was clearly displeased seeing his partner conversing with another.

"Didn’t expect it to be you, my friend."

Suddenly encountering a familiar face, Lin Chang’an’s expression tightened as he feigned secret vigilance, inwardly nodding as his senses affirmed it.

Indeed, there were only these three in the surrounding sea.

Three mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators posed no major issue.

"Mr. Lin, I’ve seen this woman on the island before; such coincidences are rare. We must be cautious."

The elder secretly transmitted a warning, using this moment to draw closer to Lin Chang’an for potential collaboration.

Lin Chang’an also nodded in agreement, marveling at the intricate layers of their trap, enough to confuse anyone.

"Fairy, I have important matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave first."

Lin Chang’an said with a slight smile, but the beautiful female cultivator’s smile turned dangerous instead.

"Mr. Lin, it seems you are rejecting the good in favor of the bad. In that case, I’ll just have to take you in."

A sudden vicious voice echoed down, making the elder’s face change dramatically as he exclaimed, "Mr. Lin, be careful, these two are Tribulation Cultivators."

In an instant, Lin Chang’an took out two Tier Two Upper Grade Thunder Shock Talismans.

Two thunder spears shot out immediately, and the two Tribulation Cultivators on the opposite side calmly summoned a defensive spiritual artifact.

"That old Daoist is wounded, let’s finish him off first!"

"Mr. Lin, let’s break through together!"

At this moment, a sudden cold light appeared from behind, the urgency on the elder’s face turning into a vicious gleam.

A flying needle shot at Lin Chang’an’s back.

Meanwhile, the beautiful tall female cultivator and the scholarly man both showed conspiratorial smiles.

This was their ninth such trap set for cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, and it had become too easy for them.

But before they could act, a resonant hum blocked the elder’s flying needle.

"Impossible!" The elder turned pale with fear. At such a close range, the opponent couldn’t possibly have defended unless they had expected the attack from the beginning.

"A top-grade spiritual artifact? He’s in the late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

The beautiful tall female cultivator’s face lost all color when she realized the opponent was in the late-stage Foundation Establishment. Without hesitation, she tried to escape on her flying boat.

Yet, a golden light was faster, attacking from behind.

"Courting death!"

In a chilling voice, Lin Chang’an coldly regarded the three, no longer the friendly demeanor from before.

A ten-feet-long blood-red sword aura shot out instantly.

It appeared directly in front of the elder, who turned pale with terror.

Such was the terrifying power of the sword aura that it pierced his mana shield effortlessly.

"Mr. Lin, spare me! I was forced into this..."

[Blood Spirit Spike]

As the sword aura shattered the opponent’s mana shield and he struggled to defend with a defensive spiritual artifact, a flash of blood light appeared, and the elder’s pupils dilated.

A trace of crimson appeared on his forehead, pierced by the same flying needle magical artifact.

"Splurt!"

At the same time, before the beautiful tall female cultivator could even scream, a flash of golden light passed, and her face exploded like a watermelon.

"No! It’s the Jade Crystal Bee! Extremely poisonous. Spare me, let’s escape..."

All this happened in an instant.

The scholarly cultivator, in panic, attempted to flee, but Lin Chang’an’s sword aura was already forcing him to defend.

Yet as the female cultivator’s head was pierced by the Phoenix Cry Bird, her Spirit Beast Bag released a horrifying swarm of bees.

"Too late to leave now!"

This time, Lin Chang’an’s overwhelming strength was fully displayed as he coldly activated a mana shield, using sword aura to prevent their escape.

Both he and they were enveloped by the swarm.

The surrounding mana shield crackled with fissures, a scene that made Lin Chang’an’s gaze tremble with shock.

"These insects are incredibly terrifying."

Meanwhile, the scholarly man’s mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was utterly inadequate. His mana shield was torn apart, and he tried to defend with a spiritual artifact.

But Lin Chang’an’s sword aura dismantled his defensive spiritual artifact’s shield, leaving him surrounded by the bee swarm.

The agonizing screams echoed in the sky, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Insect Cultivator!"

With a serious expression, Lin Chang’an observed that even his late-stage Foundation Establishment mana shield could be bitten through, yet thanks to his formidable recovery ability, the fissures the Jade Crystal Bees bit into quickly healed.

Clearly, the healing rate exceeded the biting rate.

Nonetheless!

"If you don’t eat soon, I’m leaving."

With a cold shout, Lin Chang’an instantly unleashed a Phoenix Cry, and the bird clutched the storage bags of the three cultivators.

Clearly, the allure of the spirit insects paled before certain items within their storage bags.

Under Lin Chang’an’s stern command, the Phoenix Cry Bird became a golden flash, voraciously devouring.

The Phoenix Cry Bird specialized in dealing with sinister spirits and poisonous insects, witnessing it firsthand was impressive.
