Without hesitation, Wang Lin stamped one foot and rushed towards War God Shrine using the Earth Escaping Technique. Along the way, he sent out his soul to explore the road, and found that the entire sky was filled with fire beasts. This caused him to become more and more afraid.
He immediately changed directions. Having decided not to look for Lin Tao anymore, he fled towards the border, depending on Ma Liang’s memories to guide him. Huo Fen Country was already done for.
Before he had gotten far, an enormous soul suddenly descended from the heavens and swept over his body. It locked on to his body before retreating quickly. Shocked, Wang Lin quickly searched with his soul and discovered 16 huge fire beasts forming a circle in the sky, above the clouds. A ring of fire floated in the middle of the fire beast circle.
A trace of fine red threads spread from the ring of fire, with each thread connected to the head of one of the sixteen huge fire beasts.
The enormous soul had come from this ring of fire. Clearly, the sixteen fire beasts had combined and utilized some sort of innate mystical ability to cast out such a soul.
Upon discovering Wang Lin, the sixteen fire beasts’ eyes gleamed coldly. Each and every one dropped from the sky and rushing towards Wang Lin, roaring.
Wang Lin was faster than anything else and quickly escaped as the sixteen fire beasts roared and sprayed down great amounts of liquid. The ground instantly turned red and cracks burst open on the surface of the earth.
As he had already faced the strength of the liquid once before, Wang Lin would not repeat his mistake. The moment the beasts had begun to spray the liquid, Wang Lin had suddenly jumped out of the ground and turned into a rainbow as he had flown away.
The sixteen monsters immediately gave chase. There was only one reason why they had come out of their hideout, and that was to find the cultivator who killed their ancestor. This singular reason was the only thought in their minds.
Furthermore, because of Wang Lin, the fire beasts had extended their hatred towards all cultivators and would kill them on sight. On the other hand, as the cultivators had endured many losses, many high-level cultivators had in turn used their talismans to cause countless casualties among the fire beasts.
Since the fire beasts did not have souls, which allowed them to survive in a special manner, and since ordinary flying swords could not cut their sturdy bodies, the only way to kill them was to use powerful magic to deal them sufficiently severe blows.
There were simply too many fire beasts. An endless number of fire beasts had emerged from the many volcanic craters, and the total number was far too great to count. Aside from the ancestral beast that had been absorbed by the bead, perhaps no one else knew their true number.
Wang Lin flew quickly. If the fire beasts had been chasing him through lava, they would have been faster than Wang Lin. This time, however, they were not in lava, and so their speed dropped. Thus Wang Lin managed to keep some distance, and the beasts failed to catch up to him.
However, Wang Lin did not feel too good either. The sky around him was filled with the tyrannical fire lingqi, and with every breath, waves of burning pain engulfed his entire body.
Furthermore, the fire beasts continuously roaring behind him, and along the entire way more fire beasts appeared, attempting to block his way. His pursuers were slowly growing in number. Wang Lin found a moment to sweep over them with his soul, but his head immediately tingled. He was unable to count the number of fire beasts in the dense mass behind him.
If he paused for just a moment, the fire beasts would pounce on him, and tear him to shreds. But Wang Lin wasn’t the type of person who let people chase him without retaliating. Back when he was still in Concentrating Qi stage, even when being chased by Late Foundation Building stage Teng Li, he had dared to resist.
At that moment, tiny flashes of light shined in his eyes as he pulled out the cask filled with Spiritual force liquid. He drunk bitterly from it while flying to supplement the spiritual force consumption.
Then, from his storage bag, an ink-colored light flew out. It flashed before disappearing, teleporting in the direction of his pursuers and stabbing towards a normal-sized fire beast.
The sound of metal clanging could be heard, as a trail of blood appeared in the middle of the fire beast’s chest. It was sent flying quite far and fell towards the ground. Rolling over a few times, the fire beast roared once again.
Wang Lin maintained his usual expression, but his eyes revealed a gloomy expression. Not only was the divine consciousness attack useless against the fire beast, even its body was so hard, that it didn’t die from being stabbed by the flying sword. And judging by the wound, it seemed like it only suffered minor injuries.
Unwilling to leave it at that, Wang Lin continued to fly evasively while con
