Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 221: Damn, Where Can’t We Fight?

As Zhong Lin’s figure descended Flowing Cloud Mountain, his form shifted, and a stranger’s silhouette appeared in place.

He glanced at his current face in the pool beside him, a slight smile tugging at his lips, and then he swaggered into Purple Cloud City.

After wandering through the streets, Zhong Lin noticed the sky was about to darken. Following the crowd, he left Purple Cloud City and dashed into the dense forest at a secluded spot, swiftly heading towards the cave where the Transmission Array was located.

Almost a year had passed since he arrived at the Luoxing Islands. It was time to go back for several reasons: first, to arrange subsequent matters since he might be missing even longer next time; second, to deliver the cultivation resources he prepared for Yin Daoyan and the others; third, to bring a few people over.

While contemplating, Zhong Lin’s figure swiftly moved through the wilderness. Although he didn’t use the Red Flames Wings to fly, his speed was undoubtedly fast.

The main reason was that the light effect of the Red Flames Wings was too conspicuous—a pair of flaming wings could be seen dozens of miles away.

Before long, he saw the cave hiding the Transmission Array in the distance, and his speed increased once more.

Suddenly, Zhong Lin came to an abrupt stop, listening intently, his expression changed, and he quickly took cover behind a large boulder, concealing his aura as the Mirage Pearl enveloped him.

Bang!

Accompanied by a booming sound, the entire barren mountain trembled a few times.

"Yu Fengmu, you can’t escape. Leave the item, and perhaps I’ll spare your life."

"Hmph! Gao Qian, I discovered this first. If you want it, let’s see if you have the skill."

"Courting death."

Gao Qian roared towards the sky, taking a step forward that covered hundreds of meters, and with a wave of his hand, Sword Qi filled the air. A massive Treasure Sword vibrated in the void, slashing straight at Gao Qian.

"Hmph!"

Yu Fengmu, undaunted, raised his palm, his five fingers making a grasping motion in the air. A golden giant claw instantly flew out, grabbing the Sword Qi and crushing it into pieces that dispersed into the sky.

Zhong Lin cautiously peeked out, curious about the scene before him.

Floating in the air not far away stood two young men, whose fight before caused the waves of energy.

One of them wore Qing Yi, holding a Treasure Sword, his expression stern, Sword Qi rising to the sky.

The other wore Black Armor, with flowing hair and eyes that were beastlike, full of menace.

Zhong Lin’s expression darkened as he realized the two airborne individuals were in the Transcendent Realm. Whether they were in the Spirit Sea Realm or the Spirit Embryo Realm was unknown.

Judging by the circumstances, they seemed to be in the Spirit Sea Realm, but hidden strength couldn’t be ruled out.

The critical issue was their battleground’s proximity to the cave housing the Transmission Array, just a few miles away. Any mistake could destroy the cave, and with it, the array.

"Damn, what a situation."

Zhong Lin was furious, thinking there were countless places to fight, yet they chose this desolate mountain, as if starving for trouble!

As he pondered, Yu Fengmu, clad in Black Armor, flowed like a cloud after crushing the Sword Qi, advancing with momentum.

Bang!

Yu Fengmu raised his palm, and within a range of ten meters ahead, a vacuum formed, a translucent giant hand hovering with an overpowering aura, descending towards Gao Qian.

Gao Qian stared at Yu Fengmu, a reflection of the giant hand in his pupils, its powerful force overwhelming like mountains crashing down, evoking a sense of helplessness.

Despite the terrifying palm, Gao Qian’s expression remained unchanged as he swiftly dodged, moving like a phantom hundreds of meters away in an instant.

Rumble!

With a thunderous boom, the giant palm smashed into a distant hill, shattering it instantly. When the dust settled, no summit remained, just rubble.

"Master, are these two martial artists of the Spirit Sea Realm or the Spirit Embryo Realm?"

"Relax, they haven’t hidden their strength; they’re both Spirit Sea Realm martial artists. Do you wish to intervene?"

Chen Jia voiced what Zhong Lin was thinking.

With a grim expression, Zhong Lin said, "Their battleground is too close to the Transmission Array, I can’t take the risk."

If the bet were lost and the Transmission Array destroyed, returning to Xuan Gui Continent would be impossible.

Chen Jia had once told him that even in the Xuandan Realm, crossing the seas was impossible. Previously, he almost perished at sea despite his Xuandan Realm cultivation.

The further martial artists cultivate, the more time-consuming it becomes, with even achieving Xuandan taking over a thousand years; mentioning what follows is unnecessary.

Zhong Lin didn’t want to finally reach Xuan Gui Continent only to find everyone he knew dead.

"What do you plan to do?"

Zhong Lin didn’t reply, his eyes fixed on the two figures in the distant sky.

Moments later, Zhong Lin made his move.

"Now’s the time."

He stepped, Spiritual Origin coursing through his back’s meridians, and with a burst, large Red Flames Wings unfurled, propelling his figure into the sky instantly.

"Who’s there?"

"Damn."

Amidst the fierce battle in midair, Yu Fengmu and Gao Qian gave a start at Zhong Lin’s sudden appearance.

"Sunset Sword Slash."

Holding a Spiritual Artifact, a crimson-gold light pierced in a radiant golden halo, erupting suddenly.

The Sword Intent wreaked havoc, becoming a line drawn to the extreme, surging with fury.

A profound Sword Radiance condensed into a beam, with the sunset’s afterglow converging into a point brimming with endless killing intent, piercing the heavens, and slashing mercilessly at Yu Fengmu’s back. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Sword Intent? No..."

Yu Fengmu, unprepared for a sneak attack, felt the terrifying Sword Intent, a sense of impending death overwhelming him, his gaze filled with utmost fear.

Shing!

Sword light flashed, growing brighter as it pierced straight through Yu Fengmu’s back, the Black Armor offering no resistance.

With a crisp sound, a fissure opened from Yu Fengmu’s brow downward, splitting him in two, falling from the sky.

With a move, Zhong Lin collected the corpse into his Storage Bracelet, pulling the spatial equipment from it, leaving only a trace of blood to scatter in the air.

The entire process seemed slow, but only a few breaths had passed.

From Zhong Lin’s strike to Yu Fengmu’s death, then storing the body in the Storage Bracelet, his actions were smooth and efficient.

Of course, achieving this ease was due to the combined effect of the Spiritual Artifact, Sword Intent, and Heavenly Level martial arts, and taking the advantage of a sneak attack, considering Yu Fengmu was a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist, and Zhong Lin was a whole major realm apart.

In the distance, Gao Qian watched Zhong Lin in terror, and without a moment’s hesitation, turned to flee.
