108: Chapter 108 Reunion with Qin Mang

"Such a terrifying force!!!"

Seeing this scene before them, the crowd could not help but turn pale with fright.

They did not expect that the Physical Body strength of Lin Shen before them was actually so formidable, smashing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Shuiyue Sect into a blood mist with just a single saber strike.

Moreover, this saber strike was too fast—so fast that they had yet to react. By the time they saw clearly, only a cluster of blood mist remained in the air.

"It is your turn!"

Looking at the remaining four people whose expressions changed drastically in fright, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Lin Shen's mouth. Waving the soul-absorbing banner in his hand, strands of dense black Qi enveloped the crowd, cutting off their path and line of sight.

At the same time, accompanied by the waving of the soul-absorbing banner, Lin Shen's body once again shuttled out like a phantom, leaving only streaks of afterimages in the air.

"Kill!!!"

With a sudden roar!

The heavy saber in Lin Shen's hand smashed down once more, and the blood fiend flying knife also shuttled out from his sleeve.

Amidst the heavy saber smashing down while wrapping around a terrifying immense force, the black Qi pervading the air was directly split in two, and the terrifying force whistled, tearing through the Void Realm.

Facing this saber strike erupting with such terrifying force, the heart alarm bells of that Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator rang loudly.

He desperately drove the Spiritual Qi on his body, unleashing his protective treasures.

But all of this was to no avail; the force of Lin Shen's saber strike was simply too fierce, and the speed was simply too fast.

By the time he unleashed his protective treasures, Lin Shen's saber strike had already smashed his Physical Body into a patch of blood mist as well.

At this moment, the blood fiend flying knife also shuttled quickly, a flash of crimson saber light flickering, directly piercing through a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and shattering the vitality within his body.

Swallowing the vital blood from the body of a Foundation Establishment, the light on the blood fiend flying knife became even more bewitching and eerie.

Their temporarily allied companions died one after another; looking around, only themselves and another person remained.

In the hearts of the two remaining people, the greed from before was gone; now, only terror remained.

Without any hesitation, after feeling Lin Shen's extremely terrifying strength, they respectively headed in different directions, turned around, and fled.

Lin Shen's strength was too terrifying.

Fighting him head-on left no chance of survival at all, let alone seizing the treasures and Opportunity on his body.

Right now, the only current plan was to escape.

As long as they escaped alive and rendezvoused with the strongest Prodigy in the Sect at that time, there would be a chance to slay the Lin Shen before them and be qualified to take a share from it.

Watching the two people flee from different directions, a sneer of disdain appeared at the corner of Lin Shen's mouth.

The blood fiend flying knife shuttled rapidly once more.

A crimson saber light flashed in the air; within just a breath or two, the body of one of the fleeing Foundation Establishment Cultivators directly plummeted, crashing heavily onto the ground and turning into a pool of mud.

As for the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was surrounded and torn apart by countless vicious ghosts; accompanied by Lin Shen violently throwing out a punch, a huge phantom fist directly smashed him into a patch of blood mist.

From the outbreak of the battle, merely ten to twenty breaths of time had passed.

During this period of time, Lin Shen had already resolved all five of those Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Dealing with such ordinary Foundation Establishment, relying on the terrifying strength on Lin Shen's body, even without using Sword Qi, he still completed an ultimate suppression.

"They are merely a bunch of ants..."

Transferring all the supplies inside the Storage Pouches of the five people into his Storage Ring, Lin Shen gave a cold laugh, full of disdain.

These days, not just any random cats and dogs could ambush him.

If it weren't for fear of exposing his identity and fear of others spying in the dark, once his Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent came out, these people would not even have had the chance to react, turning into headless corpses in an instant.

After slaughtering all five of them and additionally harvesting a stash of resources, Lin Shen waved the soul-absorbing banner in his hand, and another five incomplete Souls were credited.

After entering the Secret Realm, the soul-absorbing banner, having successively swallowed a large number of incomplete Foundation Establishment Realm Souls, was completely different from before, and even its Rank had been elevated.

"soul-absorbing banner... Hahaha."

"Swallow a bit more; when the number of vicious ghosts inside condenses to over ten thousand, it will be enough to be called the Myriad Soul Banner!"

"No! How can we Cultivators use such an evil item? How can it be called the Myriad Soul Banner? It should be the Boundless Karma Human Emperor Banner!"

Feeling the soul-absorbing banner in his hand becoming increasingly heavy, with the black Qi on it turning a deep purple-black, he could not help but laugh heartily.

Such a treasure was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. At the very least, every time it swallowed an incomplete Soul, Lin Shen could feel the growth of the soul-absorbing banner.

If there was no upper limit, perhaps in the future it really could achieve the Myriad Soul Banner!

Holding the soul-absorbing banner, Lin Shen's body took to the air, carrying the sound of hearty laughter as he quickly flew towards the distance.

This Secret Realm still had a long time before closing; there were still numerous Opportunities waiting for him, and there was still that child of Luck, Qin Mang, waiting for him.

If this Opportunity were to be wasted.

When returning to Chiyun Valley in the future, wanting to obtain such a fine Opportunity again would not be so easy to slay Qin Mang.

...

Within the Secret Realm, prodigies from all sides constantly contended for major Opportunities and Legacies.

In every place, as long as an Opportunity manifested, the prodigies from all sides would engage in endless slaughter.

Through continuous slaughter and contention, of the more than one hundred and thirty prodigies who originally entered the Secret Realm, only forty to fifty remained.

Accompanying the fall of this large number of prodigies, the conflicts within the Secret Realm also decreased a lot.

After all, the Secret Realm was extremely vast to begin with. When there were many people, they were prone to encounters, but once the number of people decreased and Opportunities increased, everyone's disputes naturally decreased by a few points.

And the greatest contributor to all of this undoubtedly belonged to Lin Shen.

If it weren't for him consecutively slaughtering fifty or sixty Foundation Establishment prodigies of the Five Great Sects back and forth, I'm afraid the entire Secret Realm would still be staging various conflicts and slaughters.

It was just that Lin Shen had a kind heart and could not bear to see others fighting and killing, so he simply resolved them all at once, which instead made things much quieter.

Searching bitterly for Opportunities and Qin Mang's whereabouts within the Secret Realm, after experiencing nearly two months of time, Lin Shen came to a stretch of rolling mountains.

At the peak of the mountain, a pagoda stood out of thin air, radiating an ancient coercion.

A terrifying stream of Spiritual Qi soared into the sky from the pagoda, and within a radius of a thousand miles, the terrifying Spiritual Qi it emitted could be clearly felt.

Wearing an isolation mask and changing his appearance beneath the mask, Lin Shen was dressed in a black robe, rapidly descending from the high air onto the mountain peak.

At this time, more than ten prodigies from various Schools had already gathered on the mountain peak, among whom Qin Mang—whom Lin Shen kept thinking about in his heart—was right there.

Having not seen each other for nearly two months, Qin Mang's aura was unknown how many times more formidable than before, with a terrifying blood Qi radiating externally like a humanoid beast, making people utterly dare not approach rashly.

And Lin Shen, who suddenly descended from the high air, naturally also attracted the gazes of everyone present.

The crowd stared fixedly at Lin Shen. Looking at Lin Shen wearing a mask and hiding his true appearance, their eyes were filled with scrutiny, vigilance, and a trace of worry.

After all, in recent days, a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators entering the Secret Realm had died bizarrely, which was very likely related to this black-robed Lin Shen in front of them who wore a mask and hid his true appearance.

After all, what decent person would cover themselves up and emit a terrifying blood fiend aura from their body?
