With seven people instantly killed, both sides were instantly stunned. Whether they were the people besieging Zhang Zili, or the other members of the Eighth Squad, they all looked at Wang Lin with looks of incredulity.
At this time, the flying sword circling over Wang Lin’s head emitted a dense chill.
The eight people besieging Zhang Zili immediately went pale, and one of them shouted: “Retreat!” The eight people quickly pulled back, desperate to escape and leave from there.
Zhang Zili looked at Wang Lin, revealing a bit of fear in his eyes. He admitted to himself that he had not been able to grasp how seven Foundation Building cultivators had been killed in the blink of an eye. He speculated that Wang Lin was hiding his cultivation to appear as if he was only mid-Foundation Building stage. He cursed in his heart, but then after thinking about it, realized that this method was really useful. Perhaps an enemy would become careless, which would lead to surprising results.
But for now, these things were unimportant. The more pressing matter was that he did not know how the eight Foundation Building cultivators’ sword formation had been able to trap him, a JieDan stage cultivator. This kind of event was akin to losing face, especially in front of his own squad.
Zhang Zili looked sullen as he leaned forward and chased ahead. He had almost caught up, when the eight Foundation Building stage cultivators used some unknown magic and a white gas suddenly emerged from their body. It immediately wrapped around their legs, and their speed suddenly more than doubled.
Zhang Zili sneered and formed seals with his hands. As he pressed onto his chest, suddenly exuding a huge aura, a gold dan came out from his mouth. As he pointed with his right hand, the gold dan immediately released bursts of sound and thunder as it roared and rushed out. Within the blink of an eye, it caught up to the eight. After striking three people consecutively, the gold dan returned.
[TLNote: Gold dan is the mark of reaching JieDan stage, Wang Lin’s cold dan is an inferior version of it, he needs three cold dans which he will combine to form a gold dan when he wants to reach JieDan stage]
The three people spit out blood as their bodies dropped from the air and crashed to the ground.
The five surviving people did not even bother to look as they increased their speed to the limit and escaped far away. Zhang Zili snorted lightly. Then, the five people who had already escaped quite far suddenly began to fall from the sky one by one, their bodies crooked.
Zhang Zili looked on with rapt attention, and saw Wang Lin approaching from a distance. Seeing this, his look could not help but change, and he was about to speak when he suddenly heard Wang Lin’s voice.
“There are no less than a hundred people coming from the back!” By the time these words reached Zhang Zili, Wang Lin had already dashed past him. In a flash, Wang Lin had rushed out into the distance.
At this time, Zhang Zili saw hundreds of sword lights emerge from the horizon. He immediately turned around and ran. When he turned back, he found Wang Lin was nowhere to be seen, and could not help but curse in his heart.
Seeing as the situation was not in their favor, the other members of the Eighth Squad retreated towards the spiritual vein en masse.
After flying out quite far and seeing nobody around him, Wang Lin used the Earth Escaping Technique and drilled into the ground, running west.
He had just killed twelve Foundation Building stage cultivators, thus thirty-eight kills remained before he could get another part of the map. Although he would have been safer if he had gone along with his other squadmates, since he wanted to achieve the Heavenly Li Dan, he needed to act alone.
The target of the hundreds of sword lights piercing through the air was the spiritual vein. After they left, Wang Lin poked his head out from a forest, and with a cold expression on his face, he followed them.
