Before deciding to strike, Lin Chen had been observing for a long ti.
After the chaotic battle, over twenty bodies of Late Period Qi Refining cultivators lay on the ground.
There were still four people alive on the field.
Among them, two were in the Late Period of Qi Refining, one at the Qi Refining Peak... and an elder at the Mid Foundation Establishnt Stage.
For Lin Chen, the elder at the Mid Foundation Establishnt Stage was the only threat.
But the threat was minimal.
Firstly, although Lin Chen’s cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Peak, his martial path was already nearing the level of a Grand Martial Master!
His strength was close to 20,000 pounds, with a peak running speed approaching 90 ters per second.
Lin Chen had consulted ancient books within the sect; his physical prowess was close to that of a Mid Foundation Establishnt Stage Body Refining cultivator.
Secondly, the elder had been fighting for a long ti, with at least fifty percent of his True Essence consud, far from his peak condition.
If Lin Chen used the Demon-slaying Flying Blade, he had a ninety percent chance of killing the elder directly.
But to be safe, Lin Chen decided to don the Celestial Demon Battle Armor.
Although still so way from being a Grand Martial Master, he was able to handle the battle armor in the short term.
And once donning the armor, his combat power would directly surpass that of a Grand Martial Master, reaching the level of a High-Level Martial General!
A High-Level Martial General’s physical prowess wasn’t weaker than a Foundation Establishnt Perfection Body Refining cultivator.
"Make sure to kill that Foundation Establishnt elder first; if the situation turns unfavorable, imdiately activate the engine system in the armor to escape..."
Lin Chen adjusted his breathing; this was his first ti facing a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
After rehearsing the process in his mind, Lin Chen made his move.
Without the slightest hesitation, his terrifying explosiveness akin to a Grand Martial Master, aided by the Celestial Demon Battle Armor, propelled Lin Chen dozens of ters.
In a breath, Lin Chen had charged into the battlefield from a hundred ters away.
Mid Foundation Establishnt Stage, Divine Sense spans approximately a hundred ters.
As Lin Chen entered the range of its Divine Sense, the elder imdiately sensed his presence.
But he didn’t react in ti.
Lin Chen’s speed was too fast.
The elder was just in the midst of invoking a magic formula, and the technique’s glow had just ignited.
Thumb-thick explosive bullets poured toward him.
Not just one bullet, but hundreds.
The Celestial Demon Battle Armor’s e-7 model light machine gun could fire over sixty bullets per second.
Each bullet was enough to severely injure a Martial Master.
The first second, the barrage of bullets shattered the elder’s protective technique.
The second second, the Protective True Essence was pierced like a sieve, blood splattering in the air.
The third second...
The elder at the Foundation Establishnt Stage didn’t even last until the third second.
Before his death, he was blown to pieces, leaving no corpse intact.
The only untouched half of his face still bore the expression transitioning from joy to terror.
"Patriarch!"
"Monster, what a terrifying monster!"
"Is this a puppet? There is a Puppet Master nearby..."
Witnessing the pitch-black Celestial Demon Battle Armor and seeing the Foundation Establishnt Patriarch die before their eyes.
The three remaining Qi Refining cultivators were horrified and tried madly to escape.
But Lin Chen wouldn’t spare any survivors.
Bullets poured out, and within re seconds, the three Qi Refining cultivators were dead.
From when Lin Chen struck to killing all four individuals, the entire process took less than ten seconds.
"Huh? Died so easily? This was a bit too smooth..."
Lin Chen hadn’t expected the sneak attack to be so effective.
But he knew he couldn’t linger long in this place.
First, he collected over twenty storage bags from the corpses.
Then Lin Chen activated the burning bullet on the left arm of the battle armor to clean up the battlefield.
Thousands of degrees in high temperature quickly cremated the four bodies, leaving no trace.
He spent a few minutes retrieving and processing the spent shells.
After finishing everything, Lin Chen dared not linger.
He ran several miles away in one breath and then took off the battle armor, storing it in the Purple Jade Gourd.
Continuing by sword flight, he traveled hundreds more miles.
Along the way, Lin Chen subrged himself in a river, ensuring he washed away any scent.
Until he hid in a mountain ravine did Lin Chen revert to his original appearance.
Summoning the Purple Jade Gourd, he flew toward the Changchun Sect in the southeast.
...
Half a two-hour after Lin Chen fled, over a dozen Loose Cultivators found the site of the previous chaos.
Among them, no less than three were Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Seeing the ground littered with corpses and the fierce signs of battle, the leading Foundation Establishnt cultivator’s mouth twitched.
After rifling through the bodies, his face darkened sowhat.
"That thing wasn’t found; it might’ve been snatched by another force... Perhaps by the Wu Family of Yanlai City?" another Foundation Establishnt cultivator whispered.
The lead cultivator remained silent, walking to the traces of the burned bodies.
Reaching out, he grabbed a handful of soil and slowly rubbed it in his hand.
"It isn’t the Wu Family; Old Wu might be already dead... Hmph, what a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
"The one who made the move is extrely skilled in Fire Elent techniques; their strength isn’t lower than Late Foundation Establishnt. Is it the Xiao Family of Yanlai City?"
The lead cultivator couldn’t quite be sure either.
He searched the battlefield for a long ti and could only confirm that a terrifying fla had burned the Wu Family mbers to death.
Just then, a patch of golden object in the distant grass attracted his attention.
This was a shell that Lin Chen hadn’t retrieved.
After all, with a machine gun firing hundreds of rounds, it was inevitable Lin Chen might have missed sothing in his rush to leave.
"What’s this?"
Upon closely examining the shell, the leading cultivator couldn’t identify it.
"Forget it! This mission failed... Whether that thing fell into the Xiao Family’s hands, we’ll find out when the ti cos!"
Having said this, over a dozen cultivators hurriedly left the place.
...
Elsewhere.
Lin Chen stood atop the Purple Jade Gourd, unable to pause.
Over two hours, he flew nearly seven hundred miles.
As Changchun Mountain ca into view, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"First, return to Pill Peak and report my safety to Master."
The Purple Jade Gourd soared upward, soon arriving at Pill Peak.
At that ti, Han Jihai was picking Spiritual dicine in the field.
Seeing Lin Chen return safely, he was delighted but still maintained a calm tone:
"Back already? Sooner than I expected."
Lin Chen chuckled in response, saying:
"Master, it’s my first ti leaving the mountain gate, naturally curious and a bit forgetful of ti..."
"Look here, I bought you two sets of clothes, high-end ones. See if they fit?"
Seeing the clothes Lin Chen brought out, Han Jihai felt pleased and said:
"You kid have so conscience; you rembered to bring a gift for your master when you went out, unlike those other fellows..."
Saying this, Han Jihai glanced around, not seeing Cen Wushan’s figure.
Sighing, he said, "Your second senior brother must be out righting wrongs again?"
"Yes, he discovered traces of another group of Tribulation Cultivators..."
Lin Chen inford Master of his second senior brother’s whereabouts.
Han Jihai was already used to it, nodded, and said no more.
After having a al at Pill Peak, Lin Chen returned to Lin’s Small Pavilion.
He shut the shop’s doors and hung a wooden sign reading "Shopkeeper occupied, closed for one day" outside.
Lin Chen went to the second floor of the shop, securely closing the windows and doors.
After completing all this, he took out the storage bags from the Nanobag.
"One, two... A total of twenty-four storage bags!"
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up with excitent as he impatiently counted his gains.
