Translator: 549690339
After leaving the house, Lin Jing always felt off, as if a pair of eyes was watching him.
However, Lin Jing didn’t think too much of it and headed toward the street upon leaving the alley.
He had considered the possibility of Zhang Sen and his brother.
The reason he was so nonchalant was that he had long been prepared in the dark, ready to use talismans to eradicate the brothers should they dare to show up.
For this reason, he hadn’t used the Godspeed Talisman or Invisibility Talisman given by Wei Zhengqing, using himself as bait to lure them into his trap.
Meanwhile, Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, the brothers, were secretly following Lin Jing, not daring to get too close and always trailing him from a distance.
“Big brother, when do we make our move?” Zhang Lin asked in a low voice.
Zhang Sen lowered his voice and said, “Not now, people pass by on the street at any time. We should quietly follow him, and make our move when we find a deserted place.”
And so, the two brothers secretly followed Lin Jing.
As they walked, they increasingly felt that something was wrong because Lin Jing was heading towards the outside of Fang Market.
“Big brother, something’s not right. It looks like he’s planning to leave Fang Market,” Zhang Lin observed.
“It’s so dangerous outside the city, is he seeking death?” Zhang Lin voiced his doubts.
Zhang Sen kept a close watch on Lin Jing, his killing intent barely hidden, and made a decisive call.
“No more waiting, we can’t afford to. Now that there’s no one around, let’s do it.”
As they spoke, they saw Lin Jing turn into an alley.
“Perfect chance! ”
“Let’s go, quick and decisive.”
After Zhang Sen finished speaking, he no longer concealed himself and charged forward.
But when the two rushed into the alley, they suddenly stopped in their tracks. Because the alley was empty, and Lin Jing was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did he go? We clearly saw him enter this alley.” Zhang Lin looked around but didn’t find anything.
“How could he have disappeared?” Zhang Lin said anxiously.
Zhang Sen, faced with the situation, also frowned deeply, becoming fully alert and wary.
“Are you looking for me?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two.
The brothers hurriedly turned around, only to see the disappeared Lin Jing standing right behind them.
“You…”
Zhang Sen was first startled, then his killing intent erupted. But at that moment, Lin Jing uttered a single word.
“Explode!”
Immediately afterward, lightning spread, enveloping both Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin.
Zhang Sen was shocked, only then realizing what was happening.
“Five Thunder Talisman!! !
“No!!!”
Before he could react further, the lightning poured down, submerging the two brothers.
At this moment, Lin Jing watched the two within the lightning, expressionless.
He felt no sympathy for them.
The outcome was entirely a result of their own doing.
Under the Five Thunder Talisman, the two mid-stage Qi Refinement brothers had no chance to react before they were turned to ashes.
When the spell dissipated, the spot where the two had stood was left with nothing but a pile of black ash.
Lin Jing glanced at it, then turned and left.
He had sensed something was wrong soon after leaving his house, knowing these two were likely tracking him.
so,
Lin Jing had led them around in circles to this place; when their killing intent erupted, triggering the system warning, Lin Jing knew the time was right and entered this allev.
Closer to the corner, he had placed a Five Thunder Talisman in advance.
Lin Jing knew that upon seeing no one in the alley, they would surely hesitate, and then stop right there.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing had hidden himself inside the System Space.
Originally, he had considered using an Invisibility Talisman, but fearing it might not be secure enough, he eventually opted for the System Space.
What followed was the final scene.
Lin Jing emerged from the System Space, and without giving the two men time to react, he immediately detonated the Five Thunder Talisman, killing them both.
By the time Lin Jing reached Shi Yu Alley, it was already a quarter past Zi Time.
However, as soon as Lin Jing arrived, he saw Wei Zhengqing waiting there with a tower-like, muscular man beside him, displaying exaggerated muscles, giving off an impression that he could tear apart tigers and leopards barehanded.
Lin Jing came before Wei Zhengqing, apologizing with sincerity,
“Brother Wei, I’m sorry, I encountered some unexpected troubles on my way, which made you wait for quite a while.”
Wei Zhengqing stared at Lin Jing, sizing him up, then said bluntly,
“You’ve killed someone.”
Lin Jing paused for a moment, then inspected himself from head to toe and found nothing amiss.
The brawny man standing beside Wei Zhengqing, however, was amused by Lin Jing’s actions.
“Hahaha…”
“Stop looking, the killing aura hasn’t dissipated from you yet. It was through the aura that Old Wei deduced you’ve killed people.”
see.”
Lin Jing replied with an embarrassed smile before saying earnestly,
“I won’t lie to you, Brother Wei, I did just kill two people—Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, the Zhang brothers.”
“The Zhang brothers, if I remember correctly, they both had a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivation, right?”
Upon learning that Lin Jing had killed Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, Wei Zhengqing showed no particular reaction, as if their deaths were insignificant.
“My goodness…”
The iron tower-like muscular man exclaimed.
“I thought you were just a fledgling, but it turns out you’re quite ruthless.”
“Just a beginner in Qi Refinement, yet you’ve killed two mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.’
“I’m really curious to know how you did it.”
Wei Zhengqing glanced at the muscular man and introduced Lin Jing,
“This is Yan Xiong, you can call him Big Black Bear or Big Bear. His cultivation is at the late-stage Qi Refining, same as mine. If I’m not around, you can go to him if you need anything.”
Yan Xiong scratched his head and said with an awkward smile, “Don’t listen to
Old Wei; just call me Old Yan.”
“To be honest with you both, I actually took advantage of a trick, which is this.”
As he spoke, Lin Jing took out a talisman from his Storage Bag.
“Five Thunder Talisman!”
The two immediately recognized the talisman upon seeing it.
“No wonder you were able to kill those two Qi Refining cultivators.”
After saying this, Yan Xiong expressed some regret,
“That’s a talisman that can threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet It was used on two mid-stage QI Retimng cultivators.
“Tsk, tsk… what a waste…”
Wei Zhengqing countered, “There’s nothing wasteful about it. When one is in a perilous situation, any means used for self-preservation cannot be considered too extravagant.”
Yan Xiong did not dare to argue and muttered under his breath.
“Of course, I understand that; it’s just a shame about the talisman. If only you had let me handle it, crushing them would have been as easy as squashing chicks, and we could have saved that Five Thunder Talisman.”
“Were those two seeking to harm you?” Wei Zhengqing did not pay any more attention to Yan Xiong, instead, he turned to inquire from Lin Jing.
“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded.
“They had secretly followed me since I left my house, and later on, they even revealed their intent to kill me.”
“So, I decided to use their plan against them, leading them to a deserted alley and eliminated them with the Five Thunder Talisman.”
After explaining, Lin Jing added,
“Moreover, I found out that the theft in my house that day was committed by the two of them.”
After pondering for a while, Wei Zhengqing said,
“Some time ago, they owed a large amount of Spirit Stones to the Qianjin Pavilion, and they were under a lot of pressure to repay. During that time, you were consuming Superior Spirit Rice every day.” “Clearly, you were showing wealth inadvertently.” Lin Jing felt ashamed as it was indeed the case..
