At first, Lin Jin thought the priest was just venting his anger, but he soon realized that wasn't the case.
From beneath the collapsed ground, a black aura slowly seeped out. Like billowing smoke, it rose into the sky.
Something wasn't right.
Lin Jin could feel it.
Invoking a spell, Lin Jin opened his mouth and exhaled lightly. An almost transparent wave of fire surged out, turning into a wave of fire that swept over.
It was like a dragon's breath.
This was Lin Jin's self-created spell, Dragonfire.
In the past, Lin Jin had relied on this spell to defeat his enemies. He was quite knowledgeable about this spell, and now that he had mastered it, his Dragonfire could stretch for thousands of feet, burning everything in its path.
This was Lin Jin's response.
If the priest wanted to use force, Lin Jin would have to fight back.
The priest of the Church of the Beast God was shocked. The Dragon Fire Technique was extremely fast. He immediately shouted and a strange scene happened in the next moment.
Three ferocious beasts leaped out from the body of this priest. They were a giant poisonous scorpion, a brown-scaled strange snake, and a strange insect whose name was unknown. Its body was huge but flat, and it was surrounded by tentacles.
As soon as the strange insect came out, it immediately shielded the Priestess behind it. The Dragon Fire pounced on it, but it couldn't burn through the insect's skin. In the next moment, the strange insect spat out a cloud of mist, and the Dragon Fire was extinguished.
Lin Jin was shocked.
Firstly, that strange insect wasn't as simple as it seemed to be able to restrain Lin Jin's Dragonfire. Secondly, this priest had three pet beasts.
There was no doubt that the priest was using a blood contract technique.
Lin Jin could tell that much. But here came the question. Did the Beast God's religion have a method to allow someone to form a blood contract with multiple pet beasts at the same time?
"Hmph, surprised? Appraiser Lin, some people say that you're the best beast appraiser in Middle Earth, but do you know what you are in the eyes of the Beast God's religion? "
The shaman sneered disdainfully.
"In our eyes, you're nothing. Your so-called beast appraisal technique isn't even worth mentioning. You should know that the Blood Pact Technique that all the provinces in the Central Plains have to learn and cultivate was created by the Beast God Cult." The priest spoke of the origins of the Blood Pact Technique with a disdainful attitude.
Lin Jin frowned.
The blood contract method had been passed down in Middle Earth for two thousand years and was now deeply rooted. Even civilians would practice it and form blood contracts with pet beasts in their daily lives.
All along, there had been several theories about the origin of the blood pact. The mainstream theory was that it originated from a branch of the ancient immortal dao, and only developed and strengthened because the immortal dao had fallen.
However, during this trip to the foreign land, Lin Jin had met many immortals and visited the Xuan Dao Sect and the Yun Dao Sect. As for the origin of the blood contract, Lin Jin realized that what he knew before wasn't accurate.
There were similar spells recorded in the immortal world, but upon closer examination, Lin Jin realized that there was a huge discrepancy between the two. This was something Lin Jin couldn't figure out.
Now that the priest had mentioned another source of blood contract, Lin Jin felt that it was possible.
However, it was only a possibility.
Even if it was confirmed that the Blood Pact Technique originated from the Beast God Religion, so what?
Must the source be amazing?
That wasn't the case at all. Lin Jin believed that the student would surpass the master. Moreover, Lin Jin believed that the origin of the blood pact was more likely a result of the fusion of various spells. It didn't necessarily originate from a single person.
Hence, Lin Jin found the Beast God Religion priest's inexplicable sense of superiority baffling. It was stupid.
Wait a minute.
Lin Jin immediately came to a realization.
The priest wasn't saying these stupid things because he was truly stupid. He was just trying to buy time.
As the other party was speaking, the black smoke continued to surge into the sky. In just a short period of time, it had formed a mass of dark clouds in the sky. It could be said to have covered the sky and covered an area of at least a dozen li. At this moment, it was as if a huge black umbrella was covering the sky. Moreover, the black smoke began to fall in all directions like a pot lid.
Not only did it cover Lin Jin, but the Grassy Continent's army as well.
Lin Jin looked up and with a wave of his hand, the Breezy Monster Sword returned to his grasp.
"Heaven Slash!"
A towering Sword Qi slashed out in an instant, leaving a sword mark that was hundreds of meters long on the black umbrella-like cloud. It was as if the black umbrella had been torn open.
But soon, the black cloud reformed and returned to its original state.
Lin Jin wasn't surprised. This was a black cloud. Clouds were formless, and so was water. It was impossible to cut it apart. But all of a sudden, Lin Jin felt that this dark cloud looked familiar. At the same time, Lin Jin was wondering why the other party had gone through so much trouble to create such a dark cloud. What was the purpose of this?
Of course, no matter what it was, Lin Jin wasn't afraid.
He pointed at the Beast God Religion priest before him and the Breezy Monster Sword swept out with flames. Seeing that his stalling tactic wasn't working and his opponent wasn't falling for it, the priest broke out in cold sweat.
He knew very well that he had no chance of winning against Lin Jin alone. Even if he had three pet beasts with whom he formed a blood contract, it would still be the same.
If he wasn't Lin Jin's match, then so be it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close the gap between them.
However, he knew that whether it was his tricks or his verbal exchanges, there was only one goal, and that was to stall for time. As for why he had to stall for time, only he knew.
He could only speed up his spell. Besides having the strange worm protect him, he sent out his other two pet beasts to fend off the enemy.
But just as he knew, the gap between their strengths was too great.
It was just one slash.
Two of his Rank 5 pet beasts were killed by Lin Jin with a single wave of Sword Energy.
No doubt, Lin Jin hadn't used his full strength at first. To put it bluntly, Lin Jin was just testing the waters. Now that he was going all out, he didn't need anything else. Just the Breezy Monster Sword was enough to make him invincible.
The Beast God Religion priest's heart thumped wildly in fear. He steeled his resolve. He knew the importance of this plan. Even if his status was higher than that of a country's emperor, he would do whatever it took.
But if the situation called for it, he would throw caution to the wind and it had to be done. If his plan failed, he would either be killed by Lin Jin or eaten up by the big shots behind him.
Hence, he had to succeed.
Taking out a small knife, the priest made a small cut on his arm. Blood immediately flowed out and dripped onto the ground.
A huge black formation had already appeared beneath his feet. As the blood dripped onto the formation, as if it was being sucked up by the soil, it vanished without a trace.
The next instant, black smoke billowed out at a speed several times faster than before.
