Three days later, early in the morning.
Lin Qin stands at the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range Except for East Gate. Today he is wearing an ordinary cyan battle armor, with a knife on his back and Hidden Dragon Pendant and Elder Token hanging from his waist. The Hidden Dragon Pendant worn around his waist continues to exude law fluctuations at the Highgod level, making him look like a Highgod elder.
Two people stood beside him.
On the left is a bald man, nearly two and a half meters tall, with muscles all over his body, carrying a heavy ax the size of a door panel. His name is "Shi Yan", Six-Star Fiend, a fusion of the two mysteries of Laws of the Earth, and is famous for his defense and strength.
On the right is a thin high school senior with a stern face and a thin sword hanging from his waist. His name is "Feng Ying", which is also Six-Star Fiend. He combines the three mysteries of Laws of Wind and is good at speed and assassination.
Behind the two people were ten clansmen of Five-Star Fiend level. They were all Highgod, wearing Qing Jia uniforms, and holding long guns.
"Elder Lin Qin." Shi Yan spoke with a voice like a rolling stone, "I am Shi Yan, the deputy leader of this mission. Elder Morris has given instructions. I will follow your instructions on the way."
Feng Ying nodded slightly and said nothing, but his eyes stayed on Lin Qin for a moment - it was a review and an evaluation.
"Where are the supplies?" Lin Qin asked.
"Here we come." Feng Ying looked inside East Gate.
Five carts covered with thick canvas slowly drove out. Each cart was pulled by four Iron-Armored Earth Dragons. The Earth Dragons pulling the carts were all Saint Realm level, five feet long, and wore heavy metal armor. There were twenty guards at the front and rear of the convoy, all of whom were gods in the middle.
An old man in gray robe walked from the first car, holding a cargo list in his hand.
"Elder Lin Qin," the old man bowed, "This is the list of materials sent to Iron Wall Outpost: three hundred sets of God-level armors, five hundred standard long swords, two thousand bottles of healing potions, three hundred square meters of Earth Vein Stone, and a batch of replacement parts for Magic Crystal Cannon."
Lin Qin took the manifest, glanced at it, and handed it back. "Let's go."
The convoy sets off.
The total journey from the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range to Iron Wall Outpost is eight thousand miles. Normal travel takes fifteen days, but if there is an attack on the way, the time is hard to say.
The first day was uneventful.
The convoy advanced along the "Dragon Spine Path" on the outside of the mountain range. This road was opened by the Azure Dragon Clan tens of thousands of years ago. It is ten feet wide and paved with God-level stones. There is a small Warning Tower every fifty miles on both sides. However, the war has been intense in the past hundred years, and many Warning Towers have been unguarded, leaving only empty shells.
Shi Yan was walking at the front of the motorcade, carrying a heavy ax on his shoulders and scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes. Feng Ying was cruising on both sides of the motorcade, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing, like an unpredictable wind.
Lin Qin was walking in the middle of the convoy, his consciousness spread within a ten-mile radius.
Hidden Dragon Pendant's disguise was so perfect that even Shi Yan and Feng Ying didn't notice anything unusual.
On the evening of the next day, the convoy camped next to an abandoned Warning Tower.
After night fell, Feng Ying appeared silently next to Lin Qin.
"There is a problem." He whispered, "In the afternoon I explored the front fifty miles and found three scouts who are good at hiding, numbering between five and seven."
"Which family is it from?" Lin Qin asked.
"I can't tell." Feng Ying shook his head, "But he is definitely not one of our people. The three hundred miles around Warning Tower is a safe zone designated by the family. Apart from the patrol team, there should be no other God-level activities."
Lin Qin was silent for a moment. "Strengthen the vigilance and change the rotation to two people. Set off before dawn tomorrow, bypass the main road and take the west side Rift Trail".
"Rift Trail?" Shi Yan walked over and frowned, "That road is not easy to walk, and the convoy will be 30% slower."
"But it's more hidden." Lin Qin said, "If there is an ambush, the main road is the best ambush point. Rift Trail The terrain is complicated, and it is difficult for them to set up a perfect trap."
Shi Yan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
On the third day, the team transferred to Rift Trail.
This is a narrow passage that winds between two mountains. The widest point is only five feet, with steep cliffs on both sides. The road is bumpy and uneven, and the speed of the convoy has indeed slowed down.
But Lin Qin's spiritual consciousness always maintains the maximum range of detection.
At noon on the fourth day, when the convoy reached the narrowest part of a canyon, a sudden change occurred.
"Boom!"
The cliff in front suddenly exploded, and countless rubble fell like rain. At the same time, a loud noise came from the mouth of the valley behind, and the entire cliff collapsed, sealing the retreat.
"Enemy attack!" Shi Yan shouted violently, sweeping the heavy ax and smashing the boulders falling towards the convoy.
Ten Five-Star Fiend guards quickly formed a formation to protect the five carts in the center. Twenty central god guards also held weapons and were on guard back to back.
Lin Qin looks up.
Six figures flew out from behind the exploding cliff ahead. The leader was a shirtless strong man, about the same height as Shi Yan, but his skin was dark red, like a red-hot rock. He held a Flame Great Hammer, and had a violent aura of Highgod. Combining two mysteries, Six-Star Fiend was at its peak.
There are five people behind him, three mid-level gods and two Lowgod, all wearing dark red armor with Flame Emblem on their chests.
"Saint-Nair Clan." Feng Ying's voice rang in Lin Qin's ears, "The leader is Flame Hammer"Ba'er, Six-Star Fiend. Why is he here?"
Before he finished speaking, four more figures appeared at the entrance of the valley that was blocked behind.
The leader was an old man in green robes, with a skinny face and a black wooden staff in his hand. His aura was cold, and he was Highgod, but Lin Qin couldn't sense that he had fused several mysterious elements, and the opponent's soul fluctuations were obscured by some kind of power.
There are three people behind the old man, two middle gods and one Lowgod. They are all wearing blue robes with Skull Emblem embroidered on their chests.
"Deen Clan." Shi Yan's face darkened, "Soul Lock"Hogan's disciple, Soul Eater"Morris. He is also Six-Star Fiend, good at soul attacks."
Attack from front and back.
Moreover, the other party obviously knew that the fleet was equipped with one or two Six-Star Fiend and ten Five-Star Fiend. So they sent two Six-Star Fiend to lead the team. The number of people was equal, but the location was advantageous.
"Four Divine Beasts Clan you bastards, you are tough enough. You know we are here and you still dare to go like this. Hand over the supplies and kneel down and I will spare your life." Flame Hammer Baal's voice was like thunder, echoing in the canyon.
Rock Heavy Axe paused and the ground cracked. "Fuck you! If you want to beat me, then beat me. Stop talking nonsense!"
Feng Ying had disappeared in place. The next moment, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from the cliff on the left side of the canyon - he was fighting with a mid-level god from the opponent.
The battle broke out instantly.
The five people from the Flame Prison Clan rushed towards the convoy. Shi Yan roared and faced Ba'er. The heavy ax collided with Flame Great Hammer's ruthless wolf, and the shock wave shook the surrounding rocks into powder.
The battle formation formed by ten Five-Star Fiend guards fought together with the four mid-level gods Flame Prison Clan. The guards cooperated tacitly, and the attack and defense were integrated during the rotation of the battle formation, and they were not at a disadvantage for the time being.
But Deen Clan hasn't moved yet.
Soul Eater Morris stood at the mouth of the valley, tapping the black wooden stick gently on the ground. Invisible soul fluctuations spread like a tide, covering the entire battlefield. The movements of the middle god guards suddenly stagnated, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Lin Qin moved.
He took one step forward and opened Gravity Domain with all his strength. The air within a hundred feet suddenly solidified, and even those invisible soul fluctuations were suppressed by gravity, and their speed was greatly reduced.
A trace of surprise flashed across Morris's skinny face. "Gravity Space? It's quite rare."
He points again with his stick.
This time, the soul attack no longer covers a large area, but condenses into an invisible spike that pierces Lin Qin's eyebrows. This is a pure Rules of Death attack that ignores physical defense and hits the soul directly.
Lin Qin is already prepared.
Hidden Dragon Pendant heated up slightly, releasing a faint layer of Azure Light that enveloped his whole body. The soul spike pierced Azure Light, causing ripples, but failed to penetrate.
"Soul Defense Divine Artifact?" Morris's eyes narrowed.
Lin Qin said nothing.
He held it in his right hand, and Black Jade Heavy Blade appeared in his hand. The blade trembled, and four perfectly integrated mysterious waves flowed on the blade.
Take one step forward and your body will look like electricity.
Gravity Domain shrank, concentrating on Morris's entire body. Morris suddenly felt that his body was twice as heavy, and his movements became sluggish. He snorted coldly, waved the black wooden staff, and countless black threads shot out from the end of the staff, like a large net covering Lin Qin.
Those black silk threads are "Soul-Eroding Thread" condensed by Rules of Death. Once entangled, the soul will continue to be eroded.
Lin Qin does not dodge or avoid.
Dragon Roar Divine Ability starts.
The low Dragon Roar resounded through the canyon, and the flow of time stagnated slightly. The flying speed of those Soul-Eroding Thread slowed down by half a beat, and Lin Qin seized the gap and flashed the sword.
"Chi"
Hundreds of Pulsation superimposed blades struck the black silk screen. The screen trembled violently but was not cut off. The condensed silk threads of Rules of Death have extremely high resistance to physical attacks.
But what Lin Qin wants is not to cut it off.
The frequency of the blade's trembling suddenly changed, from Pulsation to a pure burst of power. Gravity Domain also changed at the same time, from suppression to pulling - pulling those wire mesh towards the blade.
"Bang!"
A cloud of black mist exploded where the silk screen collided with the blade. Morris took three steps back, and the light of the wooden stick in his hand dimmed a bit.
"What a good method." Fear flashed in his eyes, "If you can use gravity to this extent, tell me your name. I won't kill unknown people."
"Lin Qin." Lin Qin put the knife away and stepped forward again.
This time, he didn't hold back anymore.
Dragonblood Warrior bloodline is activated, cyan dragon scales appear on the surface of the skin, and the hands turn into dragon claws. At the moment of transformation, the aura surges.
Morris's face finally changed.
"----Are you the elder of the Azure Dragon Clan? No, there is no one named Lin Qin in the elder list----"
He didn't finish what he said.
Lin Qin's second knife has arrived.
This knife is a perfect fusion of the four mysteries of gravity, power, Pulsation, and Earth Element. Where the blade passes, space is distorted, and even light is swallowed up. Morris waves the wooden staff crazily, laying down layers of soul defense barriers in front of him.
"Click-
The barrier is broken layer by layer.
The blade finally stopped three inches in front of Morris's throat.
"Stop!" At the mouth of the valley, the three middle gods of the Deen Clan exclaimed.
But it's too late.
Lin Qin stretched out the dragon claw of his left hand, and the khaki divine power between the five fingers condensed into five filaments, which instantly pierced the center of Morris's eyebrows. The filaments trembled, directly shattering the opponent's soul in Godhead.
Morris's eyes widened and his body fell limp.
One Six-Star Fiend died.
On the other side, the battle between Shi Yan and Ba'er is also coming to an end. Shi Yan has strong defense, but insufficient attack, and is inextricably linked to Ba'er. Feng Ying has already eliminated the mid-position god scout and is cooperating with Five-Star Fiend to escort the others besieging Flame Prison Clan.
Lin Qin turned around and looked at Ba'er.
Ba'er's face changed drastically. He thought that Morris could quickly deal with that Highgod, and then the two of them joined forces to kill Shi Yan and Feng Ying. Unexpectedly, Morris died in just ten breaths.
"Retreat!" Ba'er roared, forcing Shi Yan back with a hammer, then turned around and ran away.
But he can't escape.
Gravity Domain was shrouded again, and Ba'er's forward speed dropped sharply. Lin Qin's body was like electricity, and he chased behind him instantly, cutting off the blade.
"Clang!"
Ba'er turned around and blocked it with a hammer, but the power of Pulsation on the blade was transmitted to his body through the giant hammer. He groaned, and blood bleeded from his mouth and nose.
The second knife.
This knife struck the side of the giant hammer. Ba'er The jaws of the tiger's mouth shattered, and the giant hammer flew out.
The third knife.
The blade of the knife passed across his neck.
Ba'er's head flew up, and Godhead was caught in Lin Qin's hands.
Two Six-Star Fiend, all dead.
The remaining members of the Flame Prison Clan and Deen Clan were terrified and fled in all directions. But Feng Ying and Shi Yan were already red-blooded and cooperated with Five-Star Fiend's guards to spare no one.
The battle is over.
The canyon was in a mess. The rock walls collapsed, countless ravines opened on the ground, and blood stained the gravel.
Lin Qin released the transformation and looked at the battlefield.
Of the ten Five-Star Fiend guards, three died and two were seriously injured. Of the twenty median god guards, nine died and the rest were also injured. There was a blackened hammer mark on Shi Yan's chest, with the bones visible. Feng Ying's left arm was rubbed by Soul-Eroding Thread. His soul was injured and his face turned pale.
The five carts were intact, but two of the pullers, Earth Dragon, were dead.
"Count the casualties and clean up the battlefield." Lin Qin said in a calm voice.
Shi Yan came over, clutching his chest, and the look in his eyes towards Lin Qin was completely different - it was the look of a strong person.
Everyone cleaned up the battlefield, collected the bodies of the fallen clan members, and collected all the enemy's Godhead and Space Ring.
Ba'er and Morris are both Six-Star Fiend, who are worth a lot of money. They own nearly 100 million yuan in blackstone alone, and there are also many God-level materials.
Continue on your way.
In the next eleven days, there were no more attacks. The convoy successfully arrived at Iron Wall Outpost, which was a black fortress built on a cliff. The whole body was made of Black Iron Stone, and dozens of Magic Crystal Cannon were mounted on the wall.
When handing over supplies, the commander of the outpost, a one-armed Highgod, saw the miserable situation of the convoy and sighed, "Another ambush? This is the third time this month. Eight Great Clans is getting more and more rampant."
Lin Qin didn't say much. After the handover was completed, he immediately led the team back.
The return trip only took ten days - a light car was easier and faster.
Return to the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, Lin Qin and return to the Elder Hall immediately.
After listening to the report, elder Morris had no expression on his skinny face. "More than half of the casualties were killed, but the mission was accomplished. Two Six-Star Fiend were killed. The merits and demerits were balanced, and Contribution Points was issued."
He handed Lin Qin a jade slip. "This is the Contribution Points list of this mission: The basic mission reward is 5,000, killing two Six-Star Fiend is 10,000 each, and the seized materials are converted into 8,000, for a total of 33,000. Death compensation will be paid separately by the family."
After leaving Elder Hall, Lin Qin went to the Contribution Points exchange office.
He exchanged ten thousand Contribution Points for a bottle of "Soul Source Essence" - a rare resource that strengthens the origin of the soul. One bottle can increase the soul strength of the middle god by 30%. He also exchanged five thousand for a batch of healing potions and gave them to Shi Yan and Feng Ying. He kept the remaining Contribution Points for use when needed.
When he returned to Azure Rock Valley, Baruch and Hogson were already waiting for him.
"I heard that you were ambushed this time?" Baruch asked eagerly, "Are you not injured?"
"No." Lin Qin shook his head, "But twelve clan members died."
Hogson was silent for a moment and patted Lin Qin on the shoulder. "That's what war is like. It's good that you can come back alive and complete the mission."
Lin Qin said nothing.
He returned to the cave and closed the door.
He took out the bottle of Soul Source Essence and opened the cork. Inside the bottle was a milky white liquid, exuding warm soul fluctuations. He drank it all in one gulp.
The liquid entered the throat and turned into a warm current, rushing straight to Sea of Soul. The soul, which was originally a little tired from the continuous fighting, was nourished instantly and became more solid and tough.
