Chapter 676
Escape
Above the sea of divination, two figures faced each other across the void, their Dao power surging across the surface of the sea, creating towering waves.
"Lin Yang, hand over the Heavenly Bell. Considering the difficulty of cultivation, and by joining my Chu Kingdom to atone for your sins, I may spare your life."
Ting Lie looked at Lin Yang and spoke coldly.
In fact, when Ting Lie first learned that Lin Yang had stolen the Heavenly Bell, he was furious and thought about killing Lin Yang on the spot!
But during the chase, he slightly changed his mind.
Although Lin Yang has challenged the prestige of the Chu Kingdom, it is indeed very rare for someone to possess such strength. If Lin Yang is sensible enough to join the Chu Kingdom, then it is not impossible to consider letting bygones be bygones.
That's why Tinglie said those words.
Lin Yang laughed directly: "There's no point in saying more, Ting Lie. Let me experience the strength of the Sixth Elder of Chu Kingdom."
boom!
With those words, Lin Yang unleashed his full power.
The Heavenly Bell was unleashed, transforming into a giant bell in mid-air and striking towards Tinglie.
Upon seeing this, a flash of anger appeared in Tinglie's eyes.
It wasn't just because Lin Yang rejected his offer, but also because this Heavenly Bell was originally a priceless Dao weapon of their Chu Kingdom!
But now Lin Yang is using it to oppose him!
"Hmph, so what if the bell tolls in the sky!"
Ting Lie also produced a supreme-grade Dao weapon in the shape of an axe, which cleaved towards Lin Yang like a giant axe that split the heavens.
Under normal circumstances, even as an elder, Ting Lie would not have his own exclusive supreme treasure-level Dao weapon.
However, he is currently on duty, so he has the precious Dao soldier on duty.
This giant axe can be used by each elder during their turn to serve.
Lin Yang was not surprised by this.
A mighty superpower like this would certainly not possess only one supreme treasure weapon.
Moreover, since Ting Lie knew he possessed the Heavenly Bell, he still dared to pursue him, which naturally meant he also had a supreme treasure weapon by his side.
Therefore, Lin Yang only glanced at the giant axe that seemed to be about to split the sky before manipulating the Heavenly Bell to crash into it.
Keng!
The sound of clashing weapons rang out.
Visible ripples of Dao power instantly swept across the entire sea area, creating whirlpools and waves.
Lin Yang's figure remained completely unaffected, without moving an inch.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing this, Ting Lie's expression changed slightly.
Despite both being supreme-grade Dao weapons clashing.
But he already possessed strength nearly at the halfway point of the Dao realm.
Such power, when wielding a supreme treasure weapon, can completely overwhelm a veteran Dao Tribulation Realm cultivator wielding a supreme treasure weapon!
This is why he dared to hunt down Lin Yang even after knowing that Lin Yang had taken the Heavenly Bell!
Lin Yang had only recently broken through to the Dao Tribulation Realm.
Despite having just broken through, he was already comparable to a veteran Dao Tribulation Realm expert and possessed a supreme Dao weapon like the Heavenly Bell.
But in Tinglie's view, he was also capable of suppressing them with a flick of his wrist.
Although he is not yet a true master of the Dao, he is just one step away from it.
The accumulation involved is far beyond what veteran Dao Tribulation Realm cultivators can compare to or even imagine.
But now, despite the collision, Lin Yang didn't budge at all.
This surprised Tinglie, and a sense of unease began to rise in his heart.
With just this one strike, he realized that Lin Yang's strength was not so simple!
"You're not a veteran Dao Tribulation Realm cultivator?"
Tinglie was somewhat surprised and suspicious.
According to his expectations, even if Lin Yang took out the Heavenly Bell, he would still be injured by this attack.
But the truth is, they couldn't even budge Lin Yang, let alone injure him.
This is not normal.
Very unusual.
Lin Yang did not answer Ting Lie's question.
When he had just finished refining the Heavenly Bell, he felt that with the Heavenly Bell, he should be able to face any expert above or below the half-step Dao realm without fear.
Now it has been proven that his feelings were correct.
Even with Ting Lie's strength, unless one reaches the half-step Dao realm and achieves that qualitative leap, one will ultimately be unable to shake him in the slightest.
This made him feel extremely happy.
Even before using the Boundary Flower, he was already on par with Ting Lie.
If we were to use the Flower of the Realm, or even add the ability to stop time, it wouldn't be impossible to kill Ting Lie!
Thinking of this, Lin Yang's heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement again.
If we could kill Tinglie again, it wouldn't be as simple as just getting another supreme-grade Dao weapon.
Instead, it severely damaged the Chu Kingdom!
Although the supreme-grade Dao weapon is valuable, compared to losing an elder, the latter is still more unbearable for the Chu Kingdom!
As he thought about it, Lin Yang suddenly became a little excited.
If we kill Ting Lie...
The blow to the Chu Kingdom in every aspect was unimaginably huge!
As the thought crossed his mind, the way he looked at Tinglie changed.
It became...fiery hot!
Yes, it's scorching hot.
The thought of the consequences of killing Tinglie filled him with a burning desire. Tinglie, too, seemed to sense, through some kind of intuition, the change in Lin Yang's gaze revealing certain thoughts.
His expression immediately changed.
then……
Swish.
Tinglie turned and ran away immediately.
That's right.
Tinglie escaped.
It was just a brief encounter, a single clash.
Ting Lie chose to retreat without hesitation.
Those who have reached his level of cultivation have very keen senses.
He was full of confidence before he came, but after the first attack, Ting Lie knew that he could not kill Lin Yang, and might even be killed by Lin Yang.
So he simply ran away.
This was not only because he was afraid of death, but also because he was wielding a giant axe.
We can't let Lin Yang take away the most precious Dao weapons of the Chu Kingdom one after another, can we?
Although it's shameful to just run away like this, what's more important than a treasure-level Dao weapon and my life!
"Huh? They just ran away so easily?"
Lin Yang was momentarily surprised.
Tinglie is such a coward, isn't he?
With just one strike, he actually ran away!
Lin Yang then gave chase.
Ting Lie fled frantically, trying to escape this small area where the void could not be torn apart as soon as possible.
Lin Yang then condensed the Flower of the Realm and released it towards Ting Lie.
At the same time, the Heavenly Bell struck again.
The Silver Dragon Spear pierced through the void and appeared behind Tinglie in an instant.
Sensing the murderous intent behind him, Ting Lie's eyes changed again.
Then, he held his giant axe behind him, trying to block Lin Yang's killing move, while his true form moved away from the small area at an even faster speed, raising his hand to tear through the void and leave.
boom!
At the very moment that Ting Lie tore through the void, the power of the Blossom in the Realm, the power of the Heavenly Bell, and the power of the Silver Dragon Spear all erupted simultaneously.
Even though the giant axe-wielding treasure Dao soldier blocked the attack for Ting Lie, his back was still instantly pierced through.
"puff……"
A mouthful of blood gushed uncontrollably from Ting Lie's mouth, and his body staggered.
"No, I absolutely cannot die here!"
Despite the excruciating pain tearing through his back, Ting Lie mustered his last breath and entered the ripped void, fleeing frantically towards the direction of the Chu Kingdom.
"Unfortunately... it was just a little short."
As Lin Yang watched Ting Lie's figure disappear, he secretly sighed with regret.
Ting Lie ran away so decisively, without any delay, and with the protection of the Supreme Treasure Dao Soldier, he ultimately managed to block his fatal blow.
Lin Yang did not pursue them further, but instead tore through the void to head towards Lanlou Kingdom.
Although he could go after Ting Lie, Ting Lie must have already sought help from the other elders.
It might even alarm the Grand Elder, who is suspected to have reached the half-step realm, or even the ruler of the First Kingdom.
If he chases after them, it will be very dangerous if they attack.
He had only recently broken through to the next level and needed more time to accumulate experience. It would be unwise for him to confront several elders head-on at the same time.
Therefore, he accepted Wan Fei's kindness and invitation to go to Lanlou Kingdom to temporarily avoid the danger and observe the subsequent situation.
Although it was a bit of a pity that they couldn't kill Ting Lie, that attack also seriously injured Ting Lie, and there was absolutely no possibility of him making any further progress in the short term.
This can be seen as delaying the time and opportunity for Ting Lie to officially step into the half-step path.
This was already a great loss for the Chu Kingdom.
The same is true.
Lin Yang's judgment was correct.
Tinglie had already called for help when he was escaping.
He even looked back, hoping that Lin Yang would come after him, and then he could join forces with the other elders to kill Lin Yang in return.
However, after deliberately slowing down the speed at which he tore through the void, he didn't see Lin Yang chasing after him, and quickly realized that Lin Yang probably wouldn't come after him.
Immediately, Tinglie sped back to the Chu Kingdom to prepare for treatment.
His journey, tearing through the void to reach his destination, also alarmed many powerful figures along the way.
Everyone was shocked to see that Tinglie had escaped from the direction of Yaohai injured.
"Tinglie, this is..."
"He was chasing after Lin Yang, could it be that he got beaten up instead?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Ting Lie, even he's no match for Lin Yang? (End of Chapter)
