Chapter 120: I Never Said I Wanted to Escape (2)

Only the Wild Wolves would appear here at this time and attack him without a word.
This group of vicious criminals used human beings to refine pills, and it would be useless trying to talk to them. The only way to survive was to kill them.
In an instant.
With a clang, sparks flashed as the saber and sword intertwined like lightning.
For a moment, the energy spread, and the temperature dropped.
It was only at this moment that Zhao Xueying and the other two girls woke up from the initial shock. They quickly killed the remaining Hell Hornets and wanted to aid Lin Shen.
However, just as they moved, a middle-aged man with long and narrow eyes and an expressionless face blocked their path.
As soon as he appeared, Wan Zhaokun didn’t waste his breath and attacked the three women without showing any emotions.
His thin fingers curled into claws, tearing through the air and emitting a sharp and ear-piercing sound. The three women’s expressions changed slightly, and they had no choice but to stop and face the attack.
In the blink of an eye, the six people were engaged in a fierce battle on the forest path!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, the longsword in Lin Shen’s hand collided with the enemy’s blade more than ten times, and sparks flew everywhere.
As sparks flashed, Lin Shen’s eyes also flickered.
The attacker in front of him was extremely powerful. He was even stronger than Ding Leng and Yuan Lifei. His cultivation had most likely reached the seventh level of the Long Breath Stage, and his saber technique was incomparably fierce.
In addition, the middle-aged man who stopped the three women was as capable as the man in front of him.
He alone completely suppressed the three women, who could barely fight back.
Lin Shen’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene from the corner of his eye.
“Even with my talent, I can only fight against this one guy at most.
Once that middle-aged man defeats the three of them, I’ll be in big trouble if he joins forces with this guy!”
As his mind raced, Lin Shen quickly had an idea.
At this moment, Ji Lu acutely sensed Lin Shen’s concern with the battle on the other side and sneered.
“Boy, you still have the energy to care about others?”
As he spoke, Ji Lu’s attacks became even more ferocious.
Lin Shen had yet to switch to Superior Martial Arts or Pure Yang Body, so he was clearly at a disadvantage when fighting Ji Lu.
Ji Lu didn’t suspect anything. He thought Lin Shen was young after all.
“No matter how talented he is, his cultivation and strength can’t be as good as mine because I’ve been in the Long Breath Stage for many years.” Therefore, Ji Lu was rather calm.
He even began to fantasize about the wonderful scene of his cultivation level rising after obtaining the second-grade Blood Spirit Pills.
After the recent battles, Lin Shen was no longer a rookie who lacked combat experience. He took advantage of Ji Lu’s momentary distraction and made a prompt decision to let out a long roar.
The sound wave that assaulted his face instantly stopped Ji Lu’s attack, and the blood in his chest surged.
However, he had seen Lin Shen use this move to kill Hell Hornets before, so he was already prepared. Seeing this, he immediately pulled away. At the same time, he waved the steel saber in his hand, blocking the area in front of him to prevent Lin Shen from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
However, when he caught his breath and took a closer look, he was stunned to discover that Lin Shen was already 50 meters away, running wildly into the depths of the forest.
“Damn that boy!”
Feeling that he had been teased, Ji Lu was furious and chased after Lin Shen.
Under the night sky, the two of them ran through the dark forest one after another. In the blink of an eye, they had run more than a thousand meters and were far away from their original location.
In the hazy night and with the obstruction of the trees, they could no longer see the battle between Wan Zhaokun and the three girls.
Only then did Lin Shen stop and turn around to look at Ji Lu.
“Why aren’t you running anymore?”
Ji Lu gripped his saber and sneered.
“I never said I was running away.”
Lin Shen smiled faintly.
He had never thought of running away. Otherwise, with his Shadows at the Perfection stage, Ji Lu would never have caught up with him.
Looking at Lin Shen’s calm expression, Ji Lu finally realized that something was wrong, but he still didn’t believe that this boy would be his match.
“Boy, you have a sharp tongue!”
Ji Lu forced himself to calm down. He took out a Divine Weapon Talisman and slapped it on the blade. As the talisman burned to ashes, the blade seemed to be coated with a layer of ice. In an instant, it shone with a cold light.
The Divine Weapon Talisman had the effect of strengthening weapons and increasing their hardness and sharpness.
It was also because of the Divine Weapon Talisman that Ji Lu could hold a Hundred Refinement Weapon and barely contend with the Six Yang Talisman Sword for a short period of time.
In fact, the Six Yang Talisman Sword was also one of the reasons why Ji Lu insisted on killing Lin Shen.
Although he was a Long Breath Stage cultivator, he didn’t even have a low-grade enchanted armament, let alone a middle-grade one.
The moment he saw the Six Yang Talisman Sword, Ji Lu was envious and determined to have it.
“Let me see what you’re up to!”
Ji Lu sneered. His gaze occasionally swept past the Six Yang Talisman Sword in Lin Shen’s hand, and undisguised greed flashed across his eyes.
Lin Shen didn’t care at all and smiled.
“I lured you here, of course. No one else can see our battle from here.”
Ji Lu narrowed his eyes and snorted.
“From the sound of it, do you still have any trump cards? Feel free to use them all. I’ll let you know…”
Before he could finish speaking, the glint of the blade suddenly lit up in the night, tearing through the darkness. Ji Lu had already rushed in front of Lin Shen and slashed down with his saber. Only then did he growl.
“Diel”
Ji Lu was abnormally cunning. How could he really allow Lin Shen to calmly use his trump card? While attracting Lin Shen’s attention, he brazenly took the initiative to attack.
However, Lin Shen saw it coming. Seeing this, he chuckled and pressed his fingers together. A wisp of incomparably fast and sharp wind instantly shot out.
Ji Lu had witnessed the power of the Essence Sword Finger before. His expression turned stern as he dodged to the side without hesitation.
After dodging the finger wind, Ji Lu was about to continue attacking Lin Shen, but in the next second, he suddenly froze on the spot. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
He saw five Lin Shen in front of him.
Be it their appearance, clothes, or temperament, they were exactly the same!
It was late at night, and they were in a quiet and dark forest. Looking at this scene, Ji Lu couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
What the hell was going on?
Was it a spell of some divine power?
Before he could figure it out, the five identical people had already charged at him with their swords!
In an instant, the sword shadows that filled the sky enveloped him like a storm!
After summoning his clones, Lin Shen put away the Six Yang Talisman Sword and switched to the Seven Star Sword to conceal himself.
Although the Seven Star Sword wasn’t an enchanted armament, as a talisman weapon, it was as hard and sharp as a Hundred Refinement Weapon enhanced by the Divine Weapon Talisman.
The sound of metal colliding echoed in the dense forest!
Ji Lu only felt that he was surrounded by piercingly cold sword lights.
He was like a small boat in a tempestuous sea, in danger of capsizing at any time.
In just a short while, there were many new wounds on his body.
Ji Lu felt his scalp go numb. He was shocked and furious. He was no longer as smug as before.
He couldn’t understand how Lin Shen had become five people.
Unfortunately, he would never know the answer.
After switching to the Pure Yang body talent, Lin Shen was already on par with Ji Lu.
Now, with the addition of the four clones, he had the complete advantage.
After a few seconds, Ji Lu let out a miserable cry. He was stabbed in the abdomen by a sword, and his movement suddenly slowed down for a moment.
Before he could recover, a fierce scarlet glint had already swept over from all directions, and it instantly drowned him!
Swoosh!
The light soon died down.
After the shadows that filled the sky dissipated, Ji Lu was covered in blood.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with unwillingness and despair. However, his eyes had already lost their luster. His body swayed slightly, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Lin Shen put away his sword and looked at the corpse on the ground.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Without any delay, Lin Shen quickly searched Ji Lu’s corpse and put away the storage bag he had found. Then, he took out the Melting Liquid that Old Wu had bought on the black street. He melted the corpse with ease and briefly cleaned up the area. After confirming that he hadn’t missed anything, he rushed back to his team..
