Chapter 720 - Peerless Strength



Chapter 720: Peerless Strength

The wind breezing past this valley no longer felt balmy. It did feel slightly cooler but there were still traces of hot air remaining.

One of Jade Dragon’s generals was in charge of taking away the many Grassy Continent prisoners.

Escorted by Jade Dragon’s army, these hundred thousand Grassy Continent coalition captives hung their heads and lined up to walk back to Jade Dragon with their hands and feet bound. Looking from the horizon, this snake-like procession seemed to stretch on forever.

Needless to say, Jade Dragon’s people never expected this victory when the five-nation coalition invaded them two days ago.

Rumors had now spread that the coalition had immortals supporting their movement.

Weren’t immortals just legends now?

How could they still exist in this time?

Everyone had the same question. At first, this information gave them psychological pressure as they were only average mortals. Even with blood contracts and pet beasts to support them, they were still just mortals.

How could mortals win against immortals?

In their opinion, immortals represented heaven, and humans could never win against heaven.

However, Lin Jin’s appearance had subverted this belief. News of him slaying four immortals on his own spread around like wildfire.

After all, this wasn’t a rumor but an account witnessed by many.

This included Maple City’s city lord. People of his status never lie. Many of Maple City’s citizens were also rescued by Appraiser Lin so they dared not question the veracity of this rumor.

This only served to boost their confidence.

Half a day earlier, the generals of Jade Dragon’s armies had been fearful and anxious, thinking it was impossible for their country to survive this battle. Not even when Heavenly Spiral had come to their aid.

The enemy was much too powerful as two premium countries could easily trample them all.

Yet, a shocking reversal happened in such a short time.

Appraiser Lin returned.

Everything changed. The Grassy Continent coalition had pulled back immediately, with every single soldier having gone away while Jade Dragon had captured more than a hundred thousand prisoners.

According to Appraiser Lin, since these Grassy Continent natives had come and destroyed Jade Dragon, they should pay the price for their actions and rebuild Jade Dragon as slave workers.

No one dared to disobey Appraiser Lin’s instructions.

Not even the orders of Jade Dragon Kingdom’s emperor had greater weight than Appraiser Lin’s.

Not only was it out of awe for Lin Jin’s strength, but also respect for his status.

It was a fact that Lin Jin’s peerless strength had saved the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom. Rumor had it that Emperor He Qian even intended to give Lin Jin a noble title, the imperial duke of the highest ranking.

This status was even higher than the royal prince’s. In terms of official ranking, the imperial duke would be second only to the emperor. However, everyone knew that Appraiser Lin’s reputation had now exceeded Emperor He Qian’s.

By now, most of the debris in Maple City had been removed. Although half of the Beast Appraisal Association had been destroyed, a few of the halls and smaller rooms remain intact.

Jade Dragon’s elite troops, the Imperial Jade Army, were currently stationed here.

The Imperial Jade Army was the elite among elites in Jade Dragon Kingdom. Known as the forbidden army, only Emperor He Qian could mobilize them. The army wasn’t too big and consisted of only several thousand soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, this Imperial Jade Army specifically guarded only the emperor.

Yet, they were now sent to guard Maple City’s Beast Appraisal Association branch because Lin Jin was recuperating there.

It wasn’t easy to meet with Lin Jin now, not even if they were the city lord Bai Zhenkong or Zuo Wentang. Under the emperor’s orders, no one was to disturb Lin Jin.

Of course, this restriction wasn’t applied to a certain group of people.

For example, Lin Jin’s disciples and people like Ye Yuzhou.

It was Lin Jin who allowed them in so no one dared to disobey his wishes.

Inside a large hall, Lin Jin was sitting cross-legged on the floor alone. Performing the Sky Furnace had exhausted too much of his energy as he only had mortal strength. Xiao Huo was just as tired.

A rather big flaming egg was currently floating in front of Lin Jin, and resting inside it was Xiao Huo.

Xiao Huo was in the midst of recovery too.

Lin Jin had three types of pet beasts linked to him via blood contract. Xiao Huo, the blood ghost, and the spirit devouring ghost worms.

Lin Jin only successfully contracted the ghost worms in an unexpected situation, using a unique contract method. This allowed him to acquire a third type of pet beast.

As the blood ghost could reproduce itself endlessly, the volume Lin Jin previously lost didn’t amount to much. As for the ghost worms, they could reproduce immediately with every immortal killed. These seeds would then be nurtured inside the blood ghost so Lin Jin didn’t have to worry about them too.

However, after careful analysis, Lin Jin concluded that he only defeated the body profound immortal this time mainly out of luck.

Body profound immortals were just too strong. Lin Jin didn’t have time to analyze his enemy during their fight, but now that he thought about it, in all his experiences, the body profound immortal had been the first person to withstand the ghost worms.

Particularly after the ghost worms had already invaded the enemy’s body. Lin Jin found it incredible that the enemy’s Vajra Body could withstand the ghost worms’ attack despite the situation.

Yet, because the enemy activated his Vajra Body, he was melted to death by the Sky Furnace. This was a shortcoming of the Vajra Body, coincidentally weak against the Sky Furnace.

Otherwise, Lin Jin really couldn’t find a better way to kill the body profound immortal.

His concern now was what the Beast Deity Cult and Patriarch Xue Pao would do next.

They couldn’t possibly keep this peace, and since both sides had no means of contacting each other, what’s left was to fight it out. Lin Jin had to be prepared.

Suddenly, Shang’er came in. Two strikingly tall figures overflowing with powerful monster energy were following behind her.

In fact, when these two individuals arrived at Maple City, the citizens all sensed an overwhelming pressure crushing down on them.

Experts with stronger level pet beasts in particular weren’t even able to look these two men in the eyes.

The Imperial Jade Army felt the same. While these two men looked human, they clearly weren’t normal humans. Even the shorter one was at least ten feet tall while the taller one looked like a giant. Also, judging from the latter’s features, he resembled a tiger no matter which angle a person looked from!

“Cave Master!”

“Brother Lin!”

They greeted each other after entering the hall.

They were Tiger Taoist and Great Monster Jin Chi whom Lin Jin got acquainted with back at Arid Continent.

Lin Jin was currently the cave master of Dark Wind Cave, so under his orders, thousands of monsters would surely come to his aid. As Arid Continent was far too secluded and the monsters of the cave had been heeding Lin Jin’s orders, cultivating obediently without running rampant outside causing trouble, they had no idea that Grassy Continent’s coalition invaded Lin Jin’s hometown.

When Tiger Taoist later learned about it, he rushed over immediately.

Tiger Taoist was now near immortal standard while Jin Chi was already on par with immortals. With these two monsters on his side, Lin Jin gained more reliable allies.

Still, this wasn’t enough.

Lin Jin looked at Shang’er.

Among the fox monsters, she was the only Rank 5 and had the greatest potential. In this short amount of time, no one but her could advance to immortal standard, in other words, Rank 6.

As the enemy was too powerful, Lin Jin had to boost his forces.
