Lin Jin looked over and happened to meet Yang Qingshi's eyes. The latter's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. He seemed to be holding something in his palm. Although Lin Jin didn't know what it was, he was sure it was something bad. Lin Jin flicked out a needle, planning to restrain Yang Qingshi first. But to his surprise, the kid was cunning. Noticing that something was amiss, he immediately rolled away, narrowly avoiding the needle.
"Roar!"
At the same time, Xiao Huo let out a roar. Lin Jin immediately turned around to see a python's tongue coming for him.
It was Patriarch Xue Pao's blood refined beast that had flicked its tongue out, planning to kill Lin Jin in one fell swoop. Speaking of which, Patriarch Xue Pao was a sinister man. He had been hiding this move all this while, only waiting for the right moment to ambush Lin Jin while he was busy dealing with Yang Qingshi.
With his life hanging by a thread, Lin Jin understood that he had nowhere to run. Whatever spells he had up his sleeves wouldn't be able to stop this bloody tongue that was as sharp as a sword.
Moreover, he couldn't stop it either.
"Door, open!"
At this critical moment, Lin Jin opened the Visitation Hall's door. As soon as the door opened, Lin Jin's aura skyrocketed. Then, he raised a finger and unleashed a series of slashes.
This time, the Accompanying Cloud Sword Will transformed into a blade. Wherever the sword will reached, the bloody tongue, which was at least a dozen meters long, was completely shattered. It was as if it had been chopped into more than twenty pieces on a meat chopping board.
Not only that, under the Sword Intent, the bloody tongue was severed and half of the blood refined beast's face was sliced off. This Misty Sword Intent was Lin Jin's strongest attack so far. If he hadn't borrowed the museum's aura, Lin Jin wouldn't have been able to perform it even if he had three hundred stones of spirit energy.
Patriarch Xue Pao, who was initially nonchalant and confident, finally paled.
His half-bloodied face was filled with shock.
While his opponent was distracted, how could Lin Jin let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Enduring the dizziness and depletion of spirit energy, Lin Jin bit the tip of his tongue, activated Spell Negation, and spat.
In an instant, blood imbued with spell negation power sprayed across the blood refined beast's face.
The blood on Lin Jin's tongue was like hot water splashed on snow. In an instant, half of the blood refined beast's body melted. Lin Jin was aiming for the blood refined beast's weakness.
According to the Museum of Deadly Beasts, Lin Jin only needed to break the opponent's mana. However, if he simply used Spell Negation, it might not be effective. That was why Lin Jin thought of using blood as a catalyst.
Didn't the other party also use blood as a catalyst to form the Blood Refined Beast?
It was the same routine, the same method. Lin Jin had to react appropriately to catch his opponent off guard.
The Blood Refined Beast had an immortal body because Patriarch Xue Pao's spiritual power was endless. As long as the spiritual power was endless, it could be reborn infinitely.
However, as long as the magic power was destroyed, the Blood Refined Beast would collapse on its own.
Xiao Huo also took the opportunity to spit out a ball of flames, burning the Blood Refined Beast. Because its transcendence energy was broken, the Blood Refined Beast gradually melted under the intense flames.
"Junior, do you really want to become enemies with me?"
Patriarch Xue Pao's indignant voice came from the flames.
Lin Jin didn't respond.
"Let my disciple, Yang Qingshi, go. Otherwise, you and I will fight to the death. Junior, you have to think this through …"
His words came to an abrupt halt.
Because the Blood Refined Beast had been completely incinerated. Under the raging flames, its flesh and blood were reduced to ashes.
Although the man didn't finish his sentence, the warning in his words was obvious.
'Fight to the death' sounded frightening, especially since Patriarch Xue Pao was no ordinary person. A mere Blood Refined Beast was enough to force Lin Jin into such a dangerous situation. Hence, the threat he posed was quite significant.
However, Lin Jin had already made up his mind. Today, even if the legendary Da Luo Jin showed up, he wouldn't show any respect. If he offended him, so be it. If he had to fight to the death, Lin Jin could only wait and see.
Moreover, Lin Jin wasn't an innocent little girl from a small mountain village. He wouldn't go with you just because you offered some benefits. This Patriarch Xue Pao was a treacherous man. Who knew if he was just stalling for time? Even if he was lying, what could you do? Hence, it was safer to go at his own pace.
Lin Jin was confident in himself. With the Museum of Deadly Beasts, his potential was practically limitless. Moreover, he was able to defeat Patriarch Xue Pao's Blood Refined Beast clone alone. If the man really came looking for trouble next time, Shang'er, Little Five, Goldy, and White Ape would all attack him together. If a one-on-one fight didn't work, they would fight as a group.
"Show yourself!"
After dealing with the Blood Refined Beast, Lin Jin temporarily got rid of his biggest problem. Now, it was time to deal with Yang Qingshi.
Although Yang Qingshi had hidden himself, no matter where he hid in the Nebula Barrier, he couldn't escape Lin Jin's detection. Just like taking off his clothes, there was no use trying to hide.
The flames hadn't died out yet. Some were still burning. Although Lin Jin's spirit energy was depleted and he was exhausted, Xiao Huo's combat strength was still there. Even without Xiao Huo, Lin Jin wasn't afraid of facing Yang Qingshi.
Lin Jin shouted but no one answered.
"You know you can't hide but you still refuse to show yourself. Isn't that stupid?" Lin Jin cursed. He abruptly turned to the side and was about to make a move when Yang Qingshi, who knew he couldn't escape, finally stepped forward.
However, he was no longer as arrogant as he was before. His eyes were filled with fear.
Come to think of it, Yang Qingshi was in his fifties and was a well-respected man at headquarters. But right now, his clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled. He was in a sorry state and no longer had the demeanor he used to have.
"Lin Jin, I have no grudge against you. Why … why are you targeting me like this? Even after you found out about the Du family, I had no intention of harming you. I only wanted to leave on my own so why won't you let me go? " Yang Qingshi was baffled. It was true that he had no intention of dealing with Lin Jin at first. After learning that he might have been exposed, he planned to escape. As long as Lin Jin turned a blind eye to his actions, Yang Qingshi would have long been free and unfettered.
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to answer. Yang Qingshi used sorcery to harm the innocent. Once he encountered it, he would intervene. It was that simple.
Seeing Lin Jin's gaze, Yang Qingshi trembled in fear. Although he was indignant and resentful, he now understood one thing.
He was no match for Lin Jin. Even his master's clone, which he sacrificed his pet beast to summon, was destroyed by Lin Jin.
Hence, if he wanted to live, he could only beg.
"Appraiser Lin, please let me go!" Right now, Yang Qingshi was like a dog begging for mercy. He took out something from his robe. It was wrapped in animal skin, and when he opened it, he saw something that looked like an egg. It looked like an egg that was not fully formed yet.
Lin Jin could smell an indescribable stench from this unformed egg.
An eight-headed viper!
Sure enough, Yang Qingshi's next words were, "If you let me go, this eight-headed viper will be yours. This creature will be Rank 4 when it's born and its potential is limitless."
Lin Jin took a closer look. The eight-headed viper inside the membrane had already taken shape. Even though it wasn't fully grown, it was already exuding the intimidating aura of a Rank 4 beast.
