Chapter 83: Desperate Sniper!

  "15,000 taels." said the Jiang family elder after a moment of hesitation.

  "17,000 taels!" Xia Lin said without hesitation.

  One sentence made the Jiang family elder disheartened, and he gloomily withdrew his gaze. Inside Sanjiang Pavilion, no one was allowed to make trouble, not even a cultivator of the Condensing Sea Realm like him. He simply recorded Xia Lin's appearance in his mind, planning to go back and investigate which family had such a lavish spending style!

  Linjiang City has always been under the control of the Jiang family, when did such a character appear?

  The auction of martial arts failed, and the Jiang family elder arrived at a side hall next to Sanjiang Pavilion. This is the VIP hall of Sanjiang Pavilion, only guests with extremely large transaction volumes and noble identities are eligible to stay here.

  At this time, a young man with a brown plain robe and handsome appearance was sitting inside observing, he was Jiang Shidou, the young master of the Jiang family in Linjiang City!

  The Jiang family elder went in and respectfully paid his respects: "Young Master."

  "Didn't you bring your defensive martial skills?" Jiang Shilei asked calmly.

  "Yes." Jiang's elderly steward was drenched in sweat. "Young Master, the items at the back are even more precious, so the remaining gold cannot be used casually."

  "En." Jiang Shidiao nodded, "The last thing must be obtained, but this Iron Luo Golden Body is exactly what I need. Now that I'm at the peak of Condensing Sea, I still don't have a defensive martial skill that can be used with confidence. The Jiang family has many techniques, but most of them are attacking martial skills."

  "What does Young Master mean..." asked Jiang's elderly family member cautiously.

  "What kind of strength does that little guy have?" Jiang Shidie asked.

  The Jiang family elder hesitated for a moment, "A group of five people, two followers in the tempering period, a maid, a young lady at the peak of the whirlwind, and the young man leading them. Can't see through their strength, but judging from the few items he bought from the Nianzhe, he should be a Nianzhe."

  "Nian Zhe?" Jiang Shi's eyes flashed with interest, "Weren't the Nian Zhe in Linjiang City all taken away at the age of six? I didn't expect there were still some scattered outside."

  "Tsk, tsk, these young people nowadays are getting more and more formidable." Jiang Shidie sighed, without realizing that he himself was only twenty-seven years old. "I remember when I was sixteen, I had just entered the Air Rotation Realm. So... let's get rid of them, send a Condensed Sea Realm warrior over there, take their defensive martial skills into our hands, and incidentally eliminate them."

  "I am the young master of the Jiang family! Representing the entire Linjiang City's number one genius! All the resources of Linjiang City are at my disposal, how can I allow others to surpass me?!" Jiang Shidie sneered, "Go."

  "Yes, young master!"

  The Jiang family elder retreated with a sigh in his heart. The young master's talent was indeed exceptional, but not unparalleled. From birth, he had been given the best of Linjiang City's spiritual grasses, martial skills, and mental disciplines, allowing him to lead others by a wide margin and become the pride of the Jiang family of Linjiang City.

  But he alone knew how many hidden things lay in between.

  The same genius, how many people has he secretly suppressed? Just the two geniuses of the Jiang family, Jiang Shidou's cousin, he quietly abolished their qualifications.

  How long can this last? He didn't know, but he knew that Jiang Shi might not be a hero, but in the future, there may be an opportunity to become a legendary figure.

  Because he is ruthless!

  As for the psychological activities of Jiang's family elders, Xia Lin was unaware and even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all. He went forward and took these two martial skills in hand, Xia Lin's mood suddenly became excited, hating that he couldn't go back to cultivate right now!

  Fortunately, there weren't many things left afterwards. After introducing a few more second-rate treasures, they were snatched away by the various aristocratic families at high prices. In just one night, Xia Lin squandered 20,000 taels, which could be considered the greatest prodigal son in the history of Linjiang City.

  Lin Tianxiang was shocked early on. This old man, wouldn't he have emptied the Black Wind Fortress? Otherwise, where did he get so much money to squander?

  After Xia Lin's silver light faded, he quickly walked out with a few people, and at this time, the final thing in Sanjiang Pavilion was finally coming out, and several big families naturally couldn't leave.

  "Brother Lin, we'll take our leave now." Xia Lin and several others said as they sat in the horse carriage, speaking to Lin Tianxiang before them.

  "Huh...... Are you leaving?" Lin Tianxiang asked.

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "One night's splurge of 20,000 gold might attract unwanted attention. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave at all. If a powerful person comes asking about me, just tell them the truth, no need to hide anything."

  "Are you guys looking for trouble? Don't you have anything better to do?" Lin Tianxiang only then remembered that Xia Lin's actions tonight were indeed a bit too showy, it would be strange if no one was staring at him!

  "Don't worry, nothing's wrong for now." Xia Lin smiled calmly: "If you encounter any unreasonable troublemakers, just go find Old Man Lin directly."

  "My father?" Lin Tianxiang asked in confusion.

  "Your family's old master is not as simple as he appears on the surface. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke him." Xia Lin smiled slightly and then said, "I won't stay long, see you later."

  "Take care." Lin Tianxiang nodded his hand, bid farewell to the crowd, and then walked towards home. He also wanted to know what Xia Lin's words meant. Had his father been hiding his strength all along?

  Outside Linjiang City, at night.

  Kele drove the horse carriage at high speed, coming out of Sanjiang Pavilion, bidding farewell to Lin Tianxiang, and everyone didn't stop all the way, heading towards Chiyan Village.

  "How is it? Is there anyone following us?" Xia Lin asked with a frown.

  "Three people, two cyclone realms, one condensing sea realm!" Yuelian said. In this dark night, Yuelian's line of sight was still on Xiā Lín, who had increased his senses after the five organs, which actually made Xiā Lín somewhat surprised.

  "Damn it! The strong one from the Condensed Sea Realm has actually come out?" Xia Lin felt a bit depressed, originally thinking that he could shake off his opponent, but the strong one from the Condensed Sea Realm had made a move, and how could he be easily shaken off?

  "Defensive martial skills are already rare, let alone top-grade defensive martial skills." Dongfang Xuan said calmly, "For a Condensed Sea Realm expert, second-grade martial skills are the best way to increase their strength. You should be grateful that only one Condensed Sea Realm cultivator is chasing after you, I suppose they're also afraid of internal conflict."

  Xia's eyebrows furrowed in concern, this was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

  At this moment, Yu Lian's heart skipped a beat, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and in the darkness of the night, a glimmer of inspiration flashed: "It's coming, their carriage is much faster than ours. In less than ten breaths, we can catch up."

  "Preparations are indeed very sufficient." Xia Lin let out a cold hum, "Ten breaths..."

  "Coca-Cola, keep going, don't stop!"

  "Yuè Lián, protect the carriage well. If something attacks, destroy it directly."

  "Lü'er, you can try using your mental power to protect the horses and make them walk more steadily and quickly."

  Xia Lin quickly finished giving orders and then glanced at Dongfang Xuan, "You take care of my body, don't let it move."

  "Really?"

  Dongfang Xuan was still confused when Xia Lin sat cross-legged, a white light burst out of his body and flew straight out of the carriage towards the rear!

  Xia Lin leapt out of the horse carriage and rushed towards the rear!

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a horse carriage was rapidly chasing from behind.

  Xia Lin snorted coldly. For him, whose power had now reached the second stage, his attack was by no means inferior to Ning Hai's.

  "Get up!"

  Xia Lin drew a long sword out of thin air and slashed it straight at the horse carriage!

  "Hmmph!"

  A strong practitioner of the Conghai Realm suddenly emerged from the horse carriage and attacked Xia Lin.

  "Boom!"

  Two people clashed, a powerful aura fluctuation came, Xia Lin was not at all concerned, his body turned and actually charged down again!

  "Looking for death!"

  The strong man of Jinghai Boundary roared and slapped his palm again.

  "Boom!"

  This punch is heading straight for Xia Lin.

  How could he have known, Xia Lin didn't resist at all, Nianhun struck, one sword slashed across, a horse carriage was cut into two halves, leaving behind a thin linear mark.

  A horse and two Cyclone Boundary Warriors were cut in half and killed!

  "Snap!"

  The lingering thought of Xia Lin's soul was also dispersed in a daze.

  "Damn it!"

  The strong man of Jinghai boundary roared with anger, looking at the distant carriage that could not be sensed, and the bloody scene beside him, leaving only madness.

  This young man might be a reader! He also guessed it, but didn't expect him to be so decisive!

  Once the spiritual soul is injured, it needs to be re-condensed. The more amplified the star power of the spiritual soul, the longer it takes to condense, and it's not as easy as condensing that weak spiritual soul when you first started.

  How could he have known that Xia Lin's Nianhun was not just a beginner, but even for him, who was zeroth-order in various amplifications, it was simply too easy!

  Inside the carriage.

  "Pffft——" Xia Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and Lü'er hastily supported him, "Young Master."

  "It's nothing." Xia Lin shook his head, "The soul is just fragmented, it'll be fine once you take the time to re-condense it later."

  "You're really desperate, it's just a martial skill, if you want to, wouldn't it be easier to contact me after entering the Condensed Sea Realm?" Yuelian said, looking at him.

  Xia Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing, now I am just in time."

  "Alright, let's get moving. Our target is Chi Yan Village. I'm sure they've finished their task as well. Let's hurry over there."

  "Yes, young master."

  Outside the carriage, a cheerful and excited voice came, cracking the whip, the carriage headed towards Chiyan Village.

  Lu'er helped Xia Lin up, but instead looked at Dongfang Xuan with a curious expression: "Aren't you afraid?"

  Dongfang Xuan's expression remained calm and unchanged, whether someone was attacking him or he was escaping danger. He seemed completely unbothered, as if it had nothing to do with him. If not for the fact that he was clearly a cultivator in the tempering stage, one might have thought he was some kind of high-ranking expert.

  "What's the difference who catches me?" Dongfang Xuan shrugged.

  "How dare you speak?" Moon Lotus's face turned cold, a murderous intent enveloping Dongfang Xuan.

  Dongfang Xuan, rarely without fear, smiled wistfully and said: "For me, as long as I'm alive, that's enough. As for how to live... Hehe, I really don't care."

  That thread of desolation and bleakness suddenly made the atmosphere somewhat eerie.

  "What's wrong? It's late at night, and you're still feeling lonely, empty and cold?"
