Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Diverting Trouble Eastward
Translator: 549690339
Just when Ning Yue thought they were certain to die, suddenly three loud shouts erupted.
“Explode!” “Explode!!”
“Explode!!!”
A violent thundercloud struck towards the Flame Poison Centipede.
This thundercloud, formed by Lin Jing using three consecutive Five Thunder Talismans, enveloped the previously arrogant Flame Poison Centipede as if it had met its nemesis. The creature stopped in place, daring not to move, and allowed the lightning to strike down. 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮
Ning Yue looked up and saw Lin Jing standing on high ground, gazing at the Flame Poison Centipede with a Purple Talisman clutched in his hand. Seeing Lin Jing’s figure, Ning Yue was momentarily dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
It wasn’t just Ning Yue who was stunned; the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was too, and even he hadn’t expected that a mere mid-stage Qi Refinement ant would block the Flame Poison Centipede.
“What are you dawdling for, run!” shouted Lin Jing.
Snapping out of her shock, Ning Yue quickly came to her senses, took Luo Luo in her arms, and flew off on her Flying Sword directly towards Lin Jing, intending to take him along in the escape.
“Foolish!” Lin Jing bellowed.
“That Flame Poison Centipede will definitely come after me later. Take Luo Luo and get away, stay far from me.” After saying this, Lin Jing, out of concern, added another line.
“Don’t worry about me, I have my own way of escaping.”
In the urgency of the situation, Ning Yue had no choice but to trust Lin Jing’s words. She didn’t dare hesitate any longer, and piloting her Flying Sword, she fled in another direction.
The thundercloud came quickly but dissipated just as fast.
Looking at the Flame Poison Centipede again, the area on its head that had been ravaged by the thundercloud was now charred black, and even its carapace had cracked.
However, it seemed to be not seriously injured.
Even with three Talismans stacked together, it had only caused such minor damage; the defense of the Flame Poison Centipede was terrifyingly formidable.
“Hiss…”
The sharp hissing sound was incredibly piercing. Clearly, Lin Jing’s recent actions had infuriated the Flame Poison Centipede.
Immediately after, the Flame Poison Centipede moved, charging towards Lin Jing at a speed even faster than before.
As soon as the thundercloud had just faded, Lin Jing had swiftly pursued the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from before.
But that Foundation Establishment Cultivator, solely focused on watching the Flame Poison Centipede to assess its injuries, by the time he realized what was happening, Lin Jing had already run a considerable distance.
That Foundation Establishment Cultivator had so much he wanted to communicate to Lin Jing…
He didn’t dare delay any longer because the Flame Poison Centipede was already quickly crawling towards them.
Very quickly, a rather bizarre scene unfolded.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was fleeing furiously at the front, with Lin Jing closely chasing behind him, and following Lin Jing was a massive Flame Poison Centipede, trailing the two men.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the very front didn’t dare to look back, but from the noises behind him, he could tell.
The mid -stage Qi Refinement Cultivator, who he had considered as nothing more than an ant, was still closely following him without having been devoured by the Flame Poison Centipede.
He was perplexed, unsure how the speed of the mid-stage Qi Refinement Cultivator could be so fast.
But he didn’t dare to stop and check, because he could distinctly feel that the Flame Poison Centipede was getting closer and closer to the two of them.
He could only continue escaping swiftly forward, trying to shake off the man behind, because the Flame Poison Centipede was after the mid-stage Qi Refinement Cultivator behind him.
As long as that person was eaten by the Flame Poison Centipede, then he himself would be safe.
The reason why Lin Jing could move so quickly was that he had used the Godspeed Talisman.
And not just one, but he had used two simultaneously.
Even with the boost from the Godspeed Talismans, Lin Jing couldn’t catch up with the Foundation Establishment Cultivator because the gap in their cultivation was just too wide.
Moreover, the Flame Poison Centipede was steadily drawing closer from behind.
Very soon…
Lin Jing felt a shadow looming over his head, the stench of blood descending from above.
As he turned around, a shudder ran down his spine, only to see the Flame Poison Centipede had caught up to him, its gaping maw about to strike.
In the blink of an eye…
The Flame Poison Centipede lunged with its gaping mouth wide open.
In the instant before it struck, Lin Jing activated the Teleportation Talisman in his hand.
However, to the others, it seemed as though Lin Jing was swallowed whole by the Flame Poison Centipede, leaving no remains.
Sensing the commotion behind him, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator turned around just in time to witness Lin Jing being devoured.
“Finally dead…”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.
“Uncle Lin…”
Luo Luo burst into tears upon seeing Lin Jing swallowed by the Flame Poison Centipede.
Ning Yue clutched Luo Luo’s clothes tightly, her fingers turning white, even though Lin Jing had told her he had a way to escape.
But seeing Lin Jing swallowed by the Flame Poison Centipede, her heart still clenched lincontrollably-
“He wouldn’t lie to me, he shouldn’t,” Ning Yue wasn’t sure.
In this situation, even if Ning Yue rushed forward, it wouldn’t help; all she could do was silently pray, hoping Lin Jing was unharmed.
When Lin Jing reappeared, an enormous centipede leg was raising before him, poised to come crashing down on his head.
Lin Jing was terrified; he’d been teleported right beneath the Flame Poison Centipede’s leg.
“This Teleportation Talisman is such a trap.”
Without a second thought, Lin Jing crushed a Yellow Talisman in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, a golden light shone from within, radiating from Lin Jing’s body.
It was the Golden Body Talisman he had prepared earlier to eliminate the Zhang brothers.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and took out all the talismans, ready for an emergency. He hadn’t expected to need it now.
“Boom… ”
A massive centipede leg stomped down on Lin Jing, pinning him to the ground.
After the Flame Poison Centipede bit down and raised its head, it did not see Lin Jing’s body.
It assumed Lin Jing was dead.
Lifting its head, it let out a triumphant shriek, as if reveling in the satisfaction of revenge.
Then, it turned its head, glancing around before setting its sights on the fleeing Foundation Establishment Cultivator and giving chase.
With thunderous stomps, Lin Jing was repeatedly stepped on by the centipede, pressed firmly into the ground.
Thanks to the sturdiness of the Golden Body Talisman, Lin Jing was uninjured.
Only when the Flame Poison Centipede had moved far away did Lin Jing crawl out from the human-shaped pit in the ground.
At that moment, he was at a loss for words.
“Damn it, I never expected to be stepped on by a centipede today,” Lin Jing grumbled.
He had been stepped on at least a dozen times just now.
“If I had known, I would have hidden in the System Space. Then I wouldn’t be so unlucky,” he thought.
Of course, that was just wishful thinking. Under the public eye, he dared not enter the System Space at will.
By now, some Golden Core Stage expert might be watching. After all, it had been a long time, and the commotion was huge.
The Golden Core Cultivators living within the Fang Market had to be aware.
Lin Jing used the Teleportation Talisman for that very reason, fearing the exposure of the System Space.
Looking ahead, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was still being relentlessly pursued by the Flame Poison Centipede, causing a large-scale collapse of buildings wherever it went.
This way, the Fang Market was bound to suffer immense losses.
After being chased for so long, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator seemed to exhaust his Spiritual Power and gradually slowed down.
The Flame Poison Centipede behind him hissed eagerly and accelerated toward
the cultivator..
