As he escaped, Wang Lin scanned his body with his divine sense. Inside the embryo, there was an ice flame. The color of the flame was faint. This ice flame originated from the embryo. If he used it too many times before he reached Core Formation, it would affect the embryo and even affect the success rate of Core Formation.
Although it was powerful, it was like a tree without roots. Every time it was used, it would shrink a bit.
In addition, under the fourteenth valley, the ice flame didn't display much of its power. It only relied on the temperature of its melting.
However, if it was used to kill an enemy, it would be a completely different story. If the enemy used a magic treasure, then the consumption of the ice flame would be several times greater than before.
There were three other people on the other side. The reason they were able to intimidate Wang Lin so well was because of the many techniques Wang Lin had used along the way. The three of them were like frightened birds. Otherwise, when Wang Lin killed the first person, the other two Core Formation cultivators would have had the time to use their techniques.
This was why he hadn't used it before.
After all, he hadn't reached Core Formation and couldn't afford to make any mistakes. It was best not to use the ice flame if possible.
If that wasn't the case, with Wang Lin's personality, he would have immediately attacked and killed the other party. He really didn't want to waste any time trying to reach the Core Formation stage. He really didn't want to have even the slightest bit of regret.
If he hadn't been forced into a corner, Wang Lin really wouldn't have used it. However, his opponents were hot on his heels. Without any other choice, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and prepared to use the ice flame even if it meant that he couldn't reach Core Formation for now.
However, seven or eight Core Formation cultivators suddenly appeared to support him. Among them, the strongest was at the mid stage of Core Formation. Wang Lin was shocked. He no longer thought about killing the enemy and quickly escaped.
The moment he escaped, he knew that this time, he was on a path of no return. The consequences were unimaginable.
The ten Core Formation cultivators in the back leisurely chased after him for a distance of 300,000 kilometers.
Unless he reached Core Formation, the consequences would soon be dire. "Junior, Old Man, let's see where you can run off to. You killed an Elder of my Fighting Evil Sect. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you're dead.
Grand Elder Qian Kun, who was at the mid stage of Core Formation, spoke slowly. He casually waved his right hand and a golden rune condensed in front of him. He pressed his hand down and the rune immediately flashed.
The hair on the back of Wang Lin's neck stood up. Without hesitation, he slightly moved his body and dodged the talisman.
But then, more characters appeared.
Wang Lin dodged along the way, gritting his teeth. He didn't even look back as he continued onward. Gradually, the cultivators behind him closed in. Wang Lin's eyes glittered. He knew that there was only one thing he could do. Although it was very risky, if he succeeded, then all of the dangers would be resolved.
Thinking about this, Wang Lin's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. He turned his body and changed directions to escape.
Not long after, a mountain peak appeared in front of Wang Lin's eyes. The mountain peak was covered in fog, making it impossible to see it clearly. Without hesitation, Wang Lin rushed in.
The moment he got close to the fog, a path suddenly opened up. A beautiful woman wearing purple revealed herself in a panic.
However, at this moment, a series of golden runes shot out like lightning. The moment Wang Lin rushed in, the runes landed on his back. Wang Lin let out a low groan and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body fell into the fog like a kite with a broken string.
The woman in purple's face was pale as she looked at the Core Formation cultivators chasing after her. She waved the flag in her hand and the fog began to churn, covering her body.
At the same time, ten Fighting Evil Sect Core Formation cultivators arrived in front of the fog formation. Among them was a short old man with a head that was clearly larger than a normal person's. He rubbed his large head and sneered, "That little girl from before belongs to me. I just so happen to be lacking a cultivation cauldron.
As he spoke, he licked his lips and reached out with his right hand. A large hand immediately appeared in the air and grabbed at the fog. However, the moment the large hand touched the fog, the fog began to churn and a giant flood dragon more than three meters long leaped out from within.
Cultivator Big-head let out a cry of alarm and backed up, his eyes filled with bewilderment. The other Core Formation Cultivators next to him also stared at the mist with glittering eyes.
First Elder Qian Kun's expression was calm as he coldly said, "When did this formation appear?"
The other cultivators looked at each other in dismay and didn't respond.
Qian Kun snorted and carefully examined the formation. He frowned and said, "This formation can summon a flood dragon, so it is not simple. Kun Sang, try using the Ten Thousand Peak Seal."
Kun Sang was one of the three people that chased after Wang Lin. Without another word, he flew into the air and waved his right sleeve. A black stone seal appeared and immediately grew into a giant mountain. Kun Sang's expression became serious and he pressed down with his hand. The giant mountain immediately trembled and fiercely smashed down from the sky.
The flood dragon formed from the fog let out a roar and collided with the giant mountain. A thunderous rumble echoed and the giant mountain was sent flying. Kun Sang's face paled and the spiritual energy in his body surged. He took a few deep breaths to regain his composure.
At the same time the giant mountain was sent flying, the flood dragon's body turned into fog and disappeared. The formation returned to normal.
Qian Kun sneered a few times and said, "Kun Sang, give me your black stone seal."
With that, he didn't wait for Kun Sang to agree. He reached out and the giant mountain was pulled down from the sky by a powerful force. When it landed in Qian Kun's hand, it had returned to its original size.
Qian Kun wiped his hand across the stone, expelling Kun Sang's Divine Sense and branding it with his own brand. Then he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Spiritual Qi. After the Spiritual Qi had completely fused with the stone seal, he tossed it into the air. The stone seal flew up into the air and immediately grew in size, once again transforming into a huge mountain. However, this time it was at least twice as big as before.
The giant mountain floated in the sky like a black mass. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it covered the sky.
Qian Kun stared at the fog and casually pressed down with his right hand. The giant mountain immediately smashed down and the flood dragon formed again.
It was the same scene, but the result was completely different. At the moment of impact, the giant mountain paused for a moment and the flood dragon's body silently dissipated. The giant mountain immediately smashed down again.
However, the moment it smashed down, 10 flood dragons appeared from the formation and tangled with the giant mountain.
Qian Kun sneered and shouted, "Elders, let's attack together!"
The moment he finished speaking, the remaining Core Formation cultivators took out their magic treasures and began to break the formation by force.
As for Wang Lin, after being helped into the cave by Li Muwan, he coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. The flood dragon armor on his back was deeply caved in and emitted black smoke. Inside the black smoke, the flood dragon armor moved strangely and slowly returned to normal.
If it weren't for the flood dragon armor, Wang Lin's injuries wouldn't be as simple as this. Although Qian Kun was at the mid stage of Core Formation, the power of his Great Destruction Talisman was extremely great. Anyone hit by it would have their bones shattered and die.
Wang Lin's face was pale. After entering the cave, he immediately took out the wooden box that contained the Hundred Beasts Spirit Furnace. After giving it to Li Muwan, he weakly said, "This is a rank 5 pill furnace. Use it to refine the Distant Heaven Pill as quickly as possible." After speaking, Wang Lin immediately spat out the crystal flying sword.
The flying sword slowly landed on his shoulder with a cold glint on its tip. Wang Lin was a cautious person. Even though he had Li Muwan's soul blood, he wouldn't completely trust her. He still had to be prepared for necessary precautions.
Li Muwan stared blankly at the wooden box in her hand. After opening it, she was certain that this pill furnace was precious. She raised her head to look at Wang Lin and softly said, "This … They chased you for this?"
Wang Lin closed his eyes and calmly meditated. Hearing this, he casually said, "No."
Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression. With her intelligence, she had already figured out that the other party was after the pill furnace. Wang Lin didn't know the value of the pill furnace, but how could she not know? A rank 5 pill furnace could be said to be extremely expensive.
"You … What did you use to exchange for it?
Or did you steal it? "She pursed her red lips and looked at Wang Lin with a gentle gaze.
Wang Lin frowned. He opened his eyes and coldly said, "Go and refine the pill!"
Just at this moment, the cave suddenly shook and the sound of fighting came from outside. Wang Lin took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and began to meditate.
Li Muwan hadn't seen Wang Lin for three years. During these three years, she carefully thought about how she came into contact with Wang Lin many times. Gradually, she determined that he shouldn't have such embarrassing thoughts about her.
During these three years, she didn't dare to go outside. Fortunately, cultivators didn't have many requirements for food. Just some spirit fruits and pills were enough. During these three years, whenever she thought about Wang Lin, her heart would be abnormally complicated. She had also thought that one day, she would suddenly die, which meant that Wang Lin had died outside.
In addition, she also thought that one day, Wang Lin would suddenly appear in the cave. However, none of these thoughts were like today, when she saw Wang Lin being chased by 10 Core Formation cultivators.
She sighed, took the pill furnace, and quickly returned to the alchemy room. She began to refine the Distant Heaven Pill.
Time slowly passed. Whenever Li Muwan began to refine the pill, she would immediately throw away all distractions and wholeheartedly immerse herself in the process. Even so, she was still very nervous. This level of nervousness was not this intense even when she first refined pills under the gaze of her master when she was a child.
She repeatedly told herself that she had to succeed. Otherwise, if the grand formation was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable. If she succeeded, then there was still a chance for her to survive. At the very least, she should be able to escape.
As time passed, the cave shook more and more violently. Dust fell, and soon, the ground was covered in a layer of dust.
The sounds of the battle outside grew louder and louder as they drew nearer …
