Chapter 692: Chapter 243: Primordial Golden Body

Whoosh—

Lin Zheyu’s speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he dashed out over a thousand meters away.

His perception field was pushed to the limit, making the traces left by the three people and the Barbarian Race warrior very distinct.

Lin Zheyu had not chased for long before he sensed energy fluctuations coming from deep within the mountain forest.

His speed slowed down, and his aura quickly diminished as he quietly approached that direction.

"Hmph!"

"Good technique!"

"If you think you can trap me with such means, then you’re too naive."

In the mountain forest, the Barbarian Race man named Kui had an expression as dark as water, speaking coldly.

He was tightly bound by a magical artifact rope, and five formation flags were planted around him, forming a trapping formation that enclosed Kui within.

Waves of dim light gleamed brilliantly, radiating from Kui’s body.

A massive phantom of an Exotic Beast appeared above him, roaring to the heavens, as if trying to break free from its constraints.

In front of Kui stood Qian Baiyan, Tu Xihao, and Jing Xinyue.

Their faces were extremely pale, each of them sustained injuries, and their auras were exceedingly weak.

"Go!"

"We don’t know how long that person can delay him, let’s leave immediately, head to Linjiang City!" Qian Baiyan instructed in a deep voice.

With a flick of his right hand, he produced three Light Body Talismans and Flying Shield Talismans, which, under Qian Baiyan’s control, flew toward the other two.

Whoosh—

Their Escape Techniques were unleashed, complementing the Light Body Talismans and Flying Talismans, reaching incredible speeds, disappearing into the forest in an instant.

Only Kui remained, struggling to free himself from his bindings.

"They ran?"

By the time Lin Zheyu arrived, Qian Baiyan and the others had vanished, leaving only Kui, who had transformed into an Exotic Beast over four meters tall.

"Consider yourselves lucky."

"But don’t let me catch you, or else, hmph."

Lin Zheyu looked at the struggling Kui, his expression exceedingly cold.

His perception field expanded to the limit, searching for the aura of the three fellows.

Regrettably, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t detect their presence.

He had arrived one step too late.

"They had him restrained, yet didn’t kill him, it looks like those three were seriously injured."

"What a pity."

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly.

The True Essence within him roared into motion, unleashing the Blood Burning Saber Skill in an instant, with his vast Life Essence burning crazily, unleashing an even more terrifying power.

The Colorful Star Sword was instantly sheathed in blood.

Bang!

With a tap of his toe, Lin Zheyu dashed toward the bound Barbarian man like lightning.

Such a rare opportunity was not something Lin Zheyu would easily pass up.

Howl!

The magical artifact rope securely bound Kui, dim light reaching its zenith on his body, and with a roar, Kui’s body swelled even more.

The rope, already stretched to its limit, snapped into dozens of pieces.

"How dare you!"

Just as he broke free of the magical artifact rope, Kui sensed a dangerous aura.

His ferocious head jerked around, looking toward Lin Zheyu, his eyes filled with a sinister and fierce aura.

Whoosh—

The massive Wolf Fang Club came roaring, in this moment of crisis, Kui hurriedly employed a magical artifact to parry.

Swoosh—

Splurt!

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Zheyu’s mouth, his advancing motion suddenly and strangely halted, his figure twisting abruptly, and his Longsword slashed upwards.

With a splut, Kui’s arm holding the magical artifact was easily chopped off like melon slices.

"So strong!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Not good!"

Kui’s heart jolted with alarm, sensing a strong sense of crisis.

His depletion was substantial, and he had sustained considerable injuries in the battle with those three just moments ago.

Kui assumed that Ze could easily take care of that person, not expecting the one that appeared was the little guy he once looked down upon.

Evidently, Ze was already dead.

"Let’s talk this over, if you spare me now, I can tell you an enormous secret that will help you reach the Golden Core Realm!"

"For humans to advance to the Golden Core, relying on talent and effort alone isn’t possible, but I have a way!"

Kui hastily spoke.

He felt a strong sense of danger, with that last sword, he found himself utterly powerless to resist.

"Ha!"

Lin Zheyu’s expression shifted slightly, yet his hands showed no hesitation.

He hardly trusted human cultivators, let alone someone from the Barbarian Race.

The adage, "Those of a different kind will always have a different heart," held firmly for Lin Zheyu, who wouldn’t be swayed by mere words from this Barbarian man.

Dead Barbarians are the best Barbarians.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Clang clang—

The blood-colored Longsword struck like lightning, and finding himself unable to fool the other, Kui swiftly donned a black, metallic-glossed glove on his remaining left hand.

The Longsword clashed against the glove, emitting clanging sounds.

The trap formation on the ground, composed of five formation flags, held strong binding power; under the constraint of the formation flags, Kui was akin to being stuck in a mire.

Splurt

Splurt splurt

Lin Zheyu’s Swordsmanship was ordinary, even with his exceptional Lightweight Skill and Body Technique, engaging Kui head-on would not come without some effort.

However, now that the opponent was restrained by the trap formation, he became a sitting target.

The blood-red sword light slashed like lightning, its speed reaching the utmost extremity, Kui could barely fend off a few moves.

He remained motionless, his eyes filled with ferocity and unwillingness.

"Even if I die, I won’t let you have an easy time."

"I curse you, I curse..."

Kui’s face contorted maliciously, glaring at Lin Zheyu, but couldn’t even finish his speech.

Before he could, his body shattered into dozens of pieces of blood and flesh, which fell to the ground.

But simultaneously,

the shattered flesh of Kui burst with intense dim light, within it an ominous Exotic Beast silhouette raised a silent howl to the sky.
