The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 65: Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique
Chapter 65: Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique
Having absorbed almost all the elemental energy within a piece of elemental stone, the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl seemed unsatisfied. Following that, it flew into the pouch containing the elemental stones.
Amidst the flickering red light, that silk-made pouch rapidly deflated at a visible speed. It was evident that the elemental stones inside, just like the previous one, had been devoured by the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl.
After the absorption of the elemental stones concluded, the red light emitted by the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl gradually dimmed. It lay quietly on the ground, as inconspicuous as an ordinary marble.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and carefully picked up the blood-red sphere from the ground. The scorching heat that had emanated from it had dissipated.
"My elemental stones..."
Ling Feng gazed at the powder scattered on the ground, a pang of regret washing over him. He had been reluctant to use these elemental stones, and now, in an instant, they were completely drained by this red sphere!
Not a single one left for himself!
Moreover, after devouring over a dozen elemental stones, this red sphere showed no signs of change. It was as if those dozen stones were as inconsequential as a drop in the water—no, not even a ripple was stirred!
"You're ruthless!"
Ling Feng wore a helpless expression, but in his heart, he became more convinced. This red sphere was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure. How else could it have devoured over a dozen elemental stones in the blink of an eye?
Securing the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl close to his body, Ling Feng sat cross-legged on the crude stone bed. His left eye gathered Human Dao divine inscriptions, initiating the absorption of the elemental energy.
Ling Feng didn't notice that the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl concealed in his embrace, as the surging elemental energy gathered, emitted a faint red light again. However, this time, it didn't plunder Ling Feng's elemental energy. Instead, it released a subtle crimson aura that gradually infiltrated Ling Feng's body.
The Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl was a precious item blessed by the heavens, possessing a certain degree of spirituality.
Upon sensing the unique bloodline within Ling Feng, it autonomously recognized him as its master, establishing a blood contract with him. The imprint on Ling Feng's chest served as the contractual seal of the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl.
You should know that even with Yan Jinghong's innate Sacred Body, the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl didn't easily submit to him, let alone actively forming a blood contract with Yan Jinghong.
Ling Feng focused his mind and activated the Wenxian Qi Refining Technique, circulating the true qi within his body.
Ling Feng had grown accustomed to the almost ferocious speed of absorbing the elemental energy brought about by the Human Dao divine inscriptions. However, this time, he noticed that his body seemed to undergo some kind of change.
It seemed like an unknown force had integrated into his bone marrow and bloodstream.
The sensation of interconnected bloodlines seemed to trigger a unique power.
His intuition was indeed without any error.
Because when his body was enveloped in the red light, that Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl unexpectedly drilled into Ling Feng's dantian!
...
Beyond the waterfall.
On the distant horizon, a graceful and slender figure darted like lightning from the east.
It was none other than Yan Jinghong's cousin, Lin Yinyin.
Upon learning from Mei Youniao that it was Ling Feng who had killed Yan An, she swiftly flew back to this river valley at the fastest speed possible.
Below was a lush grove of Autumn Dew Fruits swaying in the breeze. The mountain wind carried the sweet scent of the stream, refreshing the heart and soul.
Lin Yinyin folded her wings and descended. "That kid killed Yan An. Why would he come to this place?"
Shaking her head lightly, Lin Yinyin didn't delve deeper but instead began searching around for Ling Feng's whereabouts.
"Is he hiding?"
Lin Yinyin searched the vicinity but found no trace of Ling Feng. She snorted coldly, a sinister curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Do you think you can escape from me? Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique!"
With a soft command, Lin Yinyin formed a peculiar hand seal, and soul fluctuations radiated outward.
Having encountered Ling Feng once before, Lin Yinyin could sense a faint trace of his aura. Though weak, such a clue wouldn't be eliminated.
This was the frightening aspect of the Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique—chasing souls within a thousand miles, unpredictable and fatal!
Although the Lin family was a subordinate clan attached to the Yan family, it was still a large family with a millennium-long heritage. The Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique was one of the Lin family's inherited and exceptional skills.
Before long, Lin Yinyin's eyes brightened, and a hint of joy appeared in her phoenix-like gaze.
"Found him! This Ling Feng dared to hide in such a close place!" Lin Yinyin's gaze emitted a sharp chill. "Very well, stay there obediently, wait for me to claim your life!"
...
Ling Feng was unaware that the crisis was gradually closing in.
At this moment, he was still circulating true qi, attempting to break through the barrier of the ninth level of Qi Formation, striving to advance to the tenth level.
Splash!
As the waterfall outside the cave splashed, a resounding explosion echoed. A figure clad in emerald green burst forth from the cave entrance, gracefully landing inside the cavern.
"Who's there?"
Ling Feng became alert and immediately grabbed the nearby Abysmal Inkblade, his gaze fixed on the cave entrance.
Within the dimly lit cave, Ling Feng, aided by his sharp eyes, discerned a faint outline.
She was a charming and youthful girl, clad in an emerald green gown that accentuated her alluring, slender waist. The devilish allure of her figure alone would be enough to captivate men from all corners of the world.
However, Ling Feng was not an ordinary man. What he saw was not the enchanting figure but a dangerous killing intent.
With a flick of her fingers, the young girl embedded two luminous pearls, each the size of a goose egg, into the walls on both sides.
The radiance of the luminous pearls immediately illuminated the entire cave, allowing the two individuals who met in the darkness to see each other's faces clearly.
"Never expected you to actually be a handsome young man."
Lin Yinyin giggled sweetly, but her eyes held a chilling killing intent, firmly locking onto Ling Feng's aura.
Ling Feng took a deep breath, unaffected by beauty or intimidation. He calmly said, "Miss, do we know each other? What brings you to me?"
"Ling Feng, do you think you've done something that can go unnoticed?"
Lin Yinyin also didn't rush to take action. In her eyes, Ling Feng was nothing more than a trapped prey.
"Huh?" Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion when he heard the woman in front of him directly call out his name.
How does she know my name?
"You must find it strange how I know your name, right?" Lin Yinyin's gem-like bright eyes stared intently at Ling Feng, her face adorned with a mysterious smile, as if she had completely seen through him.
"Looks like someone has betrayed me." Ling Feng shrugged. He realized he had underestimated the treacherous nature of human hearts.
"Your reaction is quick," Lin Yinyin smiled faintly. "But rest assured, I've already taken care of the one who betrayed you."
"That's something to thank you for then," Ling Feng joked, displaying no sense of urgency despite being cornered like a trapped beast.
"You're welcome," Lin Yinyin slowly drew a bright silver soft sword from her slender waist, smiling faintly. "A life for a life. Since you killed Yan An, me killing you is just settling the score. Your death wouldn't be unjust."
The soft sword trembled in Lin Yinyin's hand, emitting a faint buzzing sound, resembling a serpent ready to strike.
In the instant the sword was unsheathed, the sharp killing intent was fully revealed!
