97: Revenge

Many people in the small village looked at Lin Yucheng with curious eyes.

Since he wasn't visiting for the first time, their guard wasn't as high.

However, after taking a bite of the magic candy gourd, the little girl immediately fainted, which left everyone stunned.

Lin Yucheng moved extremely fast; seeing the little girl collapse, he quickly scooped her into his arms and, activating his movement technique, rapidly departed in the direction of Yang City.

Prompted by the villagers, the little girl's parents, the farming couple, quickly reacted.

"Stop!"

The farmer shouted while pushing his footwork to the extreme, wind generated beneath his feet, his speed no less than Lin Yucheng's.

Lin Yucheng wore a faint smile as he glanced at the little girl in his arms.

Sure enough, little girls were easy to trick; a small magic candy gourd was enough to ensnare her.

Lin Yucheng had sprinkled some medicinal powder on this string of magic candy gourds; these powders weren't fatal but had a very strong soporific effect, which Lin Yucheng had previously used to trap Yao Beasts.

Moreover, Hallucination Heart Flower pollen was added, further enhancing the magic candy gourd's hallucinogenic effect.

The little girl wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Lin Yucheng heard the rapid footsteps behind him but didn't look back; his speed wasn't at its maximum, as if he was waiting for something.

"This is the place."

Lin Yucheng arrived at a desolate area, a barren hilltop where even traces of wild beasts were absent.

Lin Yucheng stopped, carefully placing the little girl on a patch of withered grass to hide her.

The farmer arrived first, followed quickly by the farm wife, both looking cautiously at Lin Yucheng.

The farmer roared, "Hand over my daughter!"

Lin Yucheng said calmly, "When you two robbed other Cultivators, did you ever think of your own daughter? Did you ever think that this day would come?"

The farm wife showed a pleading expression: "The child is innocent, Senior, please be merciful!"

Lin Yucheng snorted coldly: "Exchange your lives for hers!"

Lin Yucheng slapped his Storage Pouch, and holding the Zhanjin Sword, he thrust it directly at the farm wife, showing no mercy.

First eliminate this Qi Refinement Stage woman, then focus on dealing with the Early Foundation Establishment Stage farmer.

The farm wife was caught off guard, unable to defend herself, and could only passively retreat, but how could her speed compare to Lin Yucheng, who was at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage of Cultivation?

The Zhanjin Sword pierced the farm wife's stomach, and blood gushed out.

"No!"

The farmer cried out in grief and indignation, but he only saw Lin Yucheng finishing her off, two or three more sword strikes piercing the woman's Dantian, and the final strike piercing her heart.

The farmer's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung the stone axe in his hand, creating a whooshing sound, aiming directly at Lin Yucheng.

This stone axe was also a High Grade Magical Artifact.

The Zhanjin Sword and the stone axe collided, the clash of two High Grade Magical Artifacts stirring up a gust of wind, causing both of them to retreat several steps.

Lin Yucheng quickly activated the Golden Body Art; this Body Refining Cultivation Technique was still effective even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, making his physical strength superior to Cultivators of the same stage.

Both of them were at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage of Cultivation, and both had extensive combat experience.

As rogue Cultivators, they lived a life on the edge.

As members of a Hunting Demon Team, they constantly had to contend with fierce Yao Beasts.

Both had very rich combat methods and experience, and they fought back and forth.

Therefore, the ultimate competition was between their Magical Artifacts and trump cards.

If Lin Yucheng had directly activated the Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure, he would undoubtedly have easily killed the farmer, but there was no need to waste a single use of the Talisman Treasure.

He continuously threw out first and second-tier Talismans, which instantly generated various Spells to attack the farmer, leaving the farmer struggling to cope.

The farmer didn't understand, who exactly had he offended? Why did he have so many Talismans? How many Spirit Stones were they worth?

On one hand, he was blinded by hatred. On the other hand, his greed began to act up again.

If he killed this rude fellow in front of him, all the resources on him would be his.

If he had been a little more rational, he certainly wouldn't have chosen to clash head-on with Lin Yucheng, but would have retreated and called other rogue Cultivators to deal with Lin Yucheng together.

But the farmer was unwilling to let others have a share.

Lin Yucheng observed that the farmer had no intention of retreating, which was naturally what he hoped to see.

If the opponent insisted on escaping, he might not be able to stop him, and then he would only be able to use the Talisman Treasure to kill the opponent.

The farmer gritted his teeth and took out a Talisman paper from his Storage Pouch; an imprint of lightning was carved on this Talisman paper.

"Lightning Strike Talisman."

A second-tier High Grade Talisman.

This could be considered the farmer's trump card, which he had obtained years ago when robbing other Cultivators, and he had always been reluctant to use it.

Previously, that Cultivator was also reluctant to use it and ended up dying for nothing, benefiting himself.

He would not repeat the same mistake and decisively chose to activate the Talisman.

After the Talisman was activated, a large patch of thunderclouds began to form above Lin Yucheng's head, and the aura of lightning locked onto Lin Yucheng.

Lin Yucheng felt his scalp tingle; if he were hit by the lightning strike, even if it didn't directly kill him at his current Cultivation, he would certainly be unable to continue fighting.

Lin Yucheng snorted coldly, yet appeared very composed, and also took out three Talismans from his Storage Pouch.

Two of them were exactly the same as the Lightning Strike Talisman in the farmer's hand, also second-tier High Grade Talismans.

The other was a second-tier High Grade Talisman specifically for defense.

"Ice Wall Talisman."

The three Talismans were activated simultaneously; two thunderclouds locked onto the farmer, while ice walls covered Lin Yucheng in five directions.

Front, back, left, right, and above.

Except for the ground, all other five directions were defended by ice walls.

The farmer revealed a look of horror; he hadn't expected that the second-tier High Grade Talisman he had treasured for so many years, the other party could also easily produce, and in even greater numbers.

When he was enveloped by the thunderclouds, he knew that everything was over.

Several consecutive lightning strikes fried him, and his life force was constantly draining away.

On Lin Yucheng's side, most of the lightning strikes were blocked by the ice walls, and the few that hit Lin Yucheng had already lost most of their power, at most causing him some minor superficial injuries.

Seeing that the farmer was not completely dead yet, Lin Yucheng quickly delivered the finishing blow.

His Zhanjin Sword drew a sword flower, targeting the farmer's most vulnerable head.

The farmer was desperate and helpless; if he had known Lin Yucheng had so many Talismans, he would never have thought of making a move on Lin Yucheng.

What he worried about most was still his daughter.

He went against his conscience, willingly becoming a rogue Cultivator, with the purpose of providing for his daughter, so that she wouldn't be troubled by resources in her future Cultivation.

But now, everything was over.
