Chapter 249: 235 Reenactment of the Scene
As Elder Xie’s voice fell,
Elder Qin and Elder Xie had already summoned their magical treasures and were ready.
It wasn’t just the two of them; even those behind them
had also summoned their magical treasures, ready to support the two elders at any time.
As expected,
within moments, everyone saw two Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants charging over.
These two Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants were not small; they were even larger than the three they had seen before.
Seeing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants rushing over, Elder Qin and Elder Xie directly summoned their magical treasures and attacked the two ants.
At that moment, Senior Han had pulled Lin Jing back a distance.
Until they were behind everyone else.
Then he spoke to Lin Jing,
“Your cultivation is low; do not go forward, just stay here.”
Lin Jing’s cultivation level, as shown to others, was still at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, the lowest among this group, while everyone else had at least the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Stage.
To avoid revealing his true strength, Lin Jing nodded and agreed.
……
Just as the two elders charged forward to confront the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants,
another two, slightly smaller than the ones before, came out from the depths of the passage and charged towards the crowd.
However, these two Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants directly bypassed the two elders at the front and charged toward the crowd.
Seeing this, Elder Qin immediately controlled his flying sword and intercepted one of the ants.
The other one, without any hindrance, charged into the crowd.
Seeing this,
the hearts that everyone had been holding up suddenly relaxed.
Thank goodness…
It was only one.
Otherwise, if both had come charging over, these people would likely have scattered and fled…
But dealing with just one was much better.
All of these people had the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were several at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Therefore,
as soon as the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant came over, it was immediately attacked by everyone.
For a moment…
Dozens of magical treasures along with flying swords, and even various talismans, were thrown at the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.
The Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, having just charged over, was completely surrounded by various attacks and, for a moment, was bewildered by the onslaught from the crowd.
Each person trapped here was not simple.
Various attacks landed on the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, and soon it had countless wounds on its body,
bleeding profusely.
It was at that time…
that another flying sword arrived a moment late, falling last.
But this flying sword struck such a clever spot.
It hit right in one of the wounds of the Devouring Spirit Ant…
The already severely wounded spot, after this attack, burst open, spraying out a large amount of blood.
The Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant let out a painful screech…
and became even more furious.
It directly targeted the person who had last attacked it and charged over.
And the person who had delivered that last attack was Liu Yiyuan.
At that time,
Liu Yiyuan was also stunned.
He had thought that with his strength, he surely wouldn’t provoke the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant’s enmity.
But he had never imagined that his attack was so cunningly precise, hitting, by a stroke of bad luck, right on the most grievously injured spot of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.
By the time he realized, it was already too late.
Seeing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant screeching and charging at Liu Yiyuan, the few people who had been beside him quickly moved aside.
Others also hurriedly continued their attacks,
to prevent the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant from charging into the crowd.
Seeing the bad turn of events, Liu Yiyuan finally reacted and frantically dodged.
However,
it was as if the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant had fixed its sights on him.
It completely ignored everyone else’s attacks and simply charged at Liu Yiyuan.
Liu Yiyuan was so scared that he quickly changed the direction of his escape and ran into the crowd.
However…
The Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant followed closely, like a maggot on bones.
Even when it was continuously attacked by some.
It did not alter its course.
But just at this moment of chaos…
Liu Yiyuan suddenly caught sight of Lin Jing, who was hiding behind the crowd.
An idea flashed through his mind.
And so.
He quickly changed direction, charging towards Lin Jing.
Seeing Liu Yiyuan rush towards the crowd, a wave of curses erupted from within.
“Fuck, don’t come charging in here…”
Amidst the swearing, everyone promptly dodged out of the way.
Of course.
There were also those who were very reasonable, advising Liu Yiyuan:
“Fellow Daoist…”
“Hurry to the Elders, we’ll hold back this Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant for you.”
The Cultivator from Qingyuan Sword Sect was actually right.
Under their attack, the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant was moving slowly, allowing Liu Yiyuan enough time to escape to where the Elders were.
To have the Elders deal with it.
If they hadn’t been attacking the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, Liu Yiyuan would probably have been caught by now.
However, Liu Yiyuan acted as if he hadn’t heard them, his face stricken with panic, and continued to charge towards Lin Jing.
When Liu Yiyuan glanced over…
Lin Jing knew something was wrong.
As expected.
Liu Yiyuan was charging straight at him.
And the others, naturally not daring to stand in the way, cursed while they scattered aside.
By that time, Liu Yiyuan had also calmed down and quickly started to explain:
“Fellow Daoists…”
“Now is not the time to trouble the Elders further.”
“This Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant is currently fixated on chasing me, with your joined efforts, it could surely be slain.”
At these words from Liu Yiyuan, those who had just been cursing felt so ashamed they wished they could disappear…
They had not realized this was his plan…
As soon as Liu Yiyuan finished speaking, there were already those expressing their support.
“Fellow Daoists, please step aside quickly, let this Daoist lure the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant away, we can’t keep troubling the Elders anymore.”
Seeing this, everyone also hastily gave way.
And Lin Jing wanted to dodge as well, but his shown Cultivation level was only at the eighth layer of Qi Refinement, so naturally, he was much slower.
After everyone else had dodged out of the way, Lin Jing, who had been hiding behind the crowd, was now exposed because he hadn’t dodged in time.
And like that, Liu Yiyuan charged directly towards Lin Jing.
Without guessing, Lin Jing knew.
Liu Yiyuan’s actions were definitely deliberate.
He probably intended to use the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant to kill him right there.
Seeing the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant running towards Lin Jing.
The first to become anxious was naturally Senior Han.
Because he had charged too far forward when attacking the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, he was now far away from Lin Jing.
It was already a bit late to try to help Lin Jing now.
In this urgent situation…
Senior Han intensified his attacks, trying to draw the ire of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.
At the same time, he urged Liu Yiyuan to hurry up and get away from Lin Jing.
However.
Liu Yiyuan seemed not to hear at all, charging straight towards Lin Jing.
Seeing Liu Yiyuan act this way, Lin Jing couldn’t help but sneer internally.
Did he think that he was so easily bullied?
Soon after.
Lin Jing retreated while pulling out two Five Thunder Talismans from his Storage Bag.
Five Thunder Talisman…
Although it wouldn’t work against the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.
Lin Jing’s target was never the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant, but the instigator right in front of him…
Liu Yiyuan.
