Chapter 1321: Chapter 728: Killing Kong Lingling Chapter 1321: Chapter 728: Killing Kong Lingling The Hair-thin Slash descended!
But a wave of chilling Spiritual Power suddenly erupted, forming an Ice Wall, blocking the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.
âSect Master Chen taking advantage at a moment of weakness, hardly the action of an honorable man.â
Kong Lingling, enveloped within the Ice Wall, slowly rose from within the massive locust skeleton, and as she spoke, the creature also retreated to her side.
âWhen dealing with a Magic Daoist Monk, thereâs no need for courtesy.â
Chen Mobai felt Kong Linglingâs aura and couldnât help but frown slightly, as she had already reached the Core Formation Late Stage. Moreover, her Spiritual Power was even more potent and concentrated than typical for that stage, seemingly originating from the same source as the Fifth-Order Restriction here.
In that moment, Chen Mobai recollected the early days of the Eastern Wilderness, when Pioneer Cultivators encountered overwhelming swarms of locusts here, which were eventually dealt with by the holy land of Ice and Snow.
Could it be that this was left by the Divinity Transformation of that Holy Land?
After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Mobai then turned to the humanoid yet unhumanlike little creature by Kong Lingling, as well as the giant locust Mother transformed into a skeleton.
His speculation was largely confirmed.
âI have merely nurtured a Spirit Beast which looks a bit terrifying; Sect Master Chen should not wrongfully label me as a practitioner of the Demon Path.â
Naturally, Kong Lingling would not admit to this, as the Jiutian Dangmo Sect held dominion over the six realms of the Eastern Region. Although she knew her Cultivation was likely of the Demon Path, she would stubbornly deny it.
âWhether it is true or not, our sectâs cultivatorâs life hangs in the balance here, and True Person Kong must provide me an explanation.â
As he spoke, Chen Mobaiâs figure flickered, appearing in front of Yu Lian, and after checking his condition and finding he still had signs of life, he breathed a sigh of relief.
âOur Sectâs cultivator was injured and unconscious outside; my Spirit Beast kindly saved him and brought him back. Is Sect Master Chen blaming me for this wrong?â
Kong Linglingâs words caused Chen Mobai to frown slightly; he had never encountered such shamelessness.
âIf that is the case, then please, True Person Kong, open the gate so I can take this disciple out.â
Chen Mobai could leave at any time, but since Yu Lian had not refined the Array into his body and couldnât use the Underworld Array for Teleportation, Kong Lingling pretended, so he played along.
âSect Master Chen took advantage of me while I was meditating and tried to kill me; shouldnât you explain this?â
Kong Lingling coldly retorted.
âThen letâs wait for people from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect to come. I just visited the Ruins with Taoist Ye Qing, and we separated not long ago; they should still be in the East Barbarians. I will send a message. If the Jiutian Dangmo Sect confirms that True Person Kong has not practiced Demonic Cultivation, I will naturally apologize.â
Upon hearing this, Kong Linglingâs expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Once people from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect arrived, she presumed she wouldnât even have a chance to explain.
âKill him!â
At this point, Kong Lingling finally dropped her disguise and coldly shouted.
Upon her command, the small creature by her side let out a hoarse scream, transforming into a yellow-green shadow, charging towards Chen Mobai.
But at that moment, Chen Mobai cast out a green leaf.
It was a Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman that Zhou Shengqing had once given him.
Once activated, it immediately formed a green protective dome. No matter from which direction the creature attacked, it was blocked by distinct green leaves, unable to break through.
âI hope this works!â
Chen Mobai looked at the unconscious Yu Lian, murmuring to himself.
Then his body shimmered with silver light as he began breaking through the Void, vanishing from the spot.
âAn Escape Sky Talisman? No, itâs the True Void Law Body!â
Kong Lingling witnessed this scene, her expression drastically changing as she lightly waved her hand, Coagulating Water into Sword, drawing the potent Ice Spiritual Qi from the cave, jointly attacking with the demonic creature.
However, the defensive power of the Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talisman was strong, only a Rank-4 attack could break it.
Although she was already at the Core Formation Late Stage, even benefited by the nourishment from the Demonic Sacred Embryo growing stronger by the moment, she was, after all, a mere Golden Core Cultivator without any Rank-4 techniques.
On the other hand, the Demonic Sacred Embryo was inherently a Rank-4 entity, but being newly born, it required some time to absorb earth and fire Spiritual Energies to grow into a Rank-4 entity.
Seeing she couldnât break through the Spirit Leaf Talismanâs defense and Chen Mobai had deployed the True Void Law Body to escape, Kong Lingling became anxious.
If the Taoists from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect really were called over, even the Ice Palace from the East Land would have to yield.
Let alone her, a Core Formation cultivator from a remote part of the Eastern Wilderness.
She must kill him to prevent any leaks.
With this thought, she saw the Demonic Sacred Embryo still attacking the Spirit Leaf Talisman and immediately yelled to stop.
Although the strength of the Talisman was limited and could be broken shortly with continuous attacks, the life and death of the mere Yu Lian wasnât as critical as stopping Chen Mobai.
Besides, Yu Lian couldnât escape from here, perhaps after killing Chen Mobai and returning, the power of the Spirit Leaf Talisman would have already been exhausted.
Thinking this, the anxious Kong Lingling immediately took the Demonic Sacred Embryo with her, deploying her Ice Heaven Cultivation, and passed through the Ice Wall at the entrance of the cave!
It seemed she was in luck; as she stepped out of the Ice Wall, Chen Mobai also just stepped out from the Void.
Seeing her, Chen Mobaiâs expression shifted, seemingly not expecting her to follow so quickly, and immediately turned to run out of the cave.
