Chapter 36 - 36 35 Success

36: Chapter 35: Success 36: Chapter 35: Success Jiang Yulong was originally full of confidence, his face wearing an arrogant smile as he prepared to claim the mysterious brown stone. But unexpectedly, the duck that was almost in his mouth suddenly flew away; the stone drew an arc in the air, avoiding Jiang Yulong and flying towards the back. The disciples of the Divine Power Group by his side were also bewildered. Just a moment ago, they were praising Brother Jiang for being favored by the heavens, and in a blink of an eye, the flying treasure had escaped. Whoosh! The watermelon-sized stone burrowed into the forest, disappearing from sight; just when everyone was puzzled, a figure burst out of the woods and sped towards the distance. Moments later, a wave of cursing erupted from the crowd of the Divine Power Group: “Damn, the stone was stolen, chase after it!” “It must have been that person who used Demon Art to change the stone’s direction!” “Find him, break his limbs, and let him know how formidable our Divine Power Group is!” The group of disciples, their eyes blazing with fire, chased in the direction of the fleeing figure, and Jiang Yulong also sneered coldly, transforming into a afterimage as he quickly pursued the figure. Huff! Huff! Lin Xuan exerted all his Spiritual Power, sprinting desperately into the forest. Just now, he and Lord of Wine had used the devouring suction to successfully divert the brown stone towards them, thus changing the direction of the stone in front of Jiang Yulong. “Damn, that was thrilling!” Lin Xuan’s heart thudded violently; snatching the stone from under so many eyes and especially from the Divine Power Group was exhilarating! “Lord of Wine, what’s inside?” asked Lin Xuan. “I can’t see; there’s a layer of mysterious energy on the surface of the stone obstructing my probe. We can only know what it is after cutting it open.” seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Eh, it’s different from last time?” Lin Xuan was surprised, even Lord of Wine couldn’t see through it? “Maybe this stone has absorbed some demonic nature from the Demon Pit, but that’s not important. Just cut it open and check.” Lord of Wine was also full of anticipation. “I’ve almost run out of my fine wine; I really hope it’s a ten-thousand-year-old spirit wood!” Lord of Wine had just finished speaking when he suddenly frowned, “Little Xuanzi, hurry, someone is catching up from behind.” “Damn, so quickly?” Lin Xuan was startled; he was already moving at his fastest, but the pursuer still caught up, giving him a shock. With that speed, the pursuer had to be a master, probably not an easy opponent like the Young Captain. Lin Xuan was anxious, his figure flashed as he changed direction again. However, the sense of crisis behind him did not lessen but continued to hover above his head like a sharp sword. Hiss hiss! Suddenly, the sound of rapid air breaking rang behind Lin Xuan, followed by a dazzling sword light. Boom! Lin Xuan stomped on a tree trunk, shifting his whole body laterally, narrowly avoiding the sword light. “What a terrifying sword!” Lin Xuan’s heart palpitated; the sword was not only strong in Spiritual Power but also carried an imposing force, as if it could split everything. “Is this the Sword Force? Indeed, it’s powerful!” Lin Xuan was not unfamiliar with Sword Force; his technique, Outer Heaven Flying Star, also involved a type of Sword Force, but he could not use it at will. “Hmph! You could actually dodge? You do have some skills, but that’s all,” a disdainful voice came from ahead. “Just hand over the stone obediently, and I’ll let you go quickly; otherwise, you’ll regret being born in this world!” Lin Xuan looked warily at the figure; it was a handsome young man, exuding a natural sense of superiority, not placing anyone in his eyes. But indeed, he had the arrogance to back it up; the flame-like Spiritual Power around him demonstrated his strong Sixth-tier Mystical Realm cultivation, and coupled with that sword just now, this young man was much stronger than the average Sixth Rank Spirit Warrior. “Don’t resist; you don’t have a chance to strike back! Hand over the brown stone, and I will let you go!” Jiang Yulong commanded, “He originally wanted to kill Lin Xuan immediately, but since he couldn’t find the stone, he resorted to making threats.” “I see you are also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, and you must have heard of the Outer Four Masters. Rest assured, as long as you reveal where the brown stone is hidden, I will absolutely ensure your safety!” Lin Xuan secretly sighed in relief; he knew Jiang Yulong was trying to trick him into revealing information about the brown stone. Fortunately, he had already handed over the stone, or the opponent would have attacked him already. However, what truly alarmed him was that his opponent was one of the Outer Four Masters, an existence akin to a devilish being. “If you want the stone, follow me!” Lin Xuan had no choice but to stall for time. He employed the Instant Shadow Step, sprinting in one direction, while Jiang Yulong let out a cold laugh and followed at a leisurely pace. “Lord of Wine, hurry up and cut that stone!” Lin Xuan urged in his mind. If a Divine Weapon emerged, he might still stand a chance against Jiang Yulong. “You’d best not play any tricks. I know every path you take; one wrong step, and I’ll sever one of your arms!” Jiang Yulong’s voice was as cold as the Death God. “Damn it!” Lin Xuan was annoyed. He had hoped to bluff his way through, but Jiang Yulong was too shrewd. Forced by Jiang Yulong’s pressure, Lin Xuan had to increase his speed. He went back along the initially intended path. Ahead, a group of people were rushing their way—it was the Divine Power Group, and Lin Xuan recognized them. “Damn it!” Seeing Xing Lifeng and others, who knew his identity and definitely wouldn’t let him go, Lin Xuan instinctively gripped his longsword. “Little Xuanzi, it’s been cut. It’s a piece of talisman paper,” said Lord of Wine. “Talisman paper? What’s it used for, something offensive?” Lin Xuan asked eagerly. Talisman paper is crafted by Rune Masters who seal energy into the paper using special methods, making it incredibly powerful and infinitely useful during crises. In fact, Lin Xuan had wanted to acquire a few, but they were too expensive and beyond his financial reach. “It’s not offensive,” said Lord of Wine. “It’s a Wind Escape Talisman.” “An Escape Talisman!” Lin Xuan almost burst into laughter; this was exactly what he needed desperately to escape adverse situations! “It’s incomplete, though. There’s only half of it.” Just as Lin Xuan was privately delighted, Lord of Wine dropped a damper. Lin Xuan felt like crying—after all that, it turned out to be a half-torn piece of talisman paper. His luck couldn’t get any worse. Meanwhile, members of the Divine Power Group approached, and they were shocked to see Lin Xuan. “It’s you!” “You know him?” Jiang Yulong frowned. “Brother Jiang, this kid is the one who’s been opposing our Divine Power Group. He’s the one who killed Zhang Bin.” “Kid, you’re too arrogant, daring to steal Brother Jiang’s Divine Stone. You’re practically seeking death!” “Brother Jiang is mighty, he subdued this kid as soon as he acted…” Jiang Yulong frowned at Lin Xuan, suddenly said grimly, “Everyone quiet. He’s still got the stone.” “What?” The disciples of the Divine Power Group were startled and then glared fiercely at Lin Xuan. “Kid, hand over the Divine Stone quickly!” “If you want the stone, fine, let me think about it,” Lin Xuan said with a smile. “But you must stop shouting around me. If you scare me into forgetting where I placed the stone, then it’s not my fault.” “Kid, you’re courting death…” The disciples of the Divine Power Group were furious, itching to pounce at him. “Everyone shut up!” Jiang Yulong looked at Lin Xuan’s face, suddenly feeling a very bad premonition.
