Chapter 483: Chapter 365: Retreat and Escape, Undying Dragon Flame, Fire Bat

Hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but sneer coldly.

Even if he didn’t kill Situ Wu purely by his own cultivation, at the very least it was his own array that did the job.

Doesn’t array formation count as part of one’s own power?

It’s not like he ambushed the guy.

But with someone who’s about to die, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t bother to waste his breath.

"After you’re dead, you can ask Situ Wu yourself how he died."

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng finished speaking, he directly summoned the Divine Thunder Bow and Evil-Breaking Saber.

Both arms drew the bow, one hand slashing down.

Instantly, two attacks exploded forth, shooting straight at Xiang Tian.

Both were unleashed by upper grade Celestial Spirit Treaures—their power was terrifying.

The power of Celestial Thunder on the Divine Thunder Bow was unmatched, its strikes were world-shattering, the roar thunderous, as if the Thunder God himself was enraged.

Meanwhile, the attack from the Evil-Breaking Blade twisted space itself as it struck.

One could see how inexorably powerful the blade aura was.

Xiang Tian, battle-hardened as he was, knew the incoming attacks from Celestial Spirit Treasures weren’t easy to take. If he tried to take them head-on, he’d be seriously injured—or worse, killed outright.

So he immediately dodged aside, avoiding the brunt of the blows.

Yet the blade aura was easier to dodge; the tens of thousands of thunderbolt arrows rained down, impossible to evade.

The thunderbolt arrows poured down like a torrential storm, leaving Xiang Tian nowhere to run.

In the end, all he could do was conjure an elemental shield before himself to block.

BOOM—

As the thunderbolt arrows collided with the elemental shield in front of Xiang Tian, a deafening explosion shook the air.

In a flash, the shield was torn apart by the Celestial Thunder Arrows, the violent impact sending Xiang Tian hurtling backward, slamming hard into a distant wall, blasting a giant crater into it as countless rocks came tumbling down.

Ugh—

Smashing into the ground, Xiang Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

In front of him now was nothing but shattered stone—clearly, he’d been severely wounded by the Divine Thunder Arrows.

The power of this Divine Thunder Bow was too much for even a fierce beast like the Fire Qilin to take, let alone someone just at the early stage of Void Refining like Xiang Tian.

"What a ferocious attack!"

Xiang Tian shuddered inside; he’d only been one small realm behind Lin Chang’sheng, yet now he realized he had no means to strike back against this kind of onslaught.

Standing before him, Lin Chang’sheng was like an insurmountable mountain, impossible to shake.

"Die!"

Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of letting Xiang Tian catch his breath. With the thunder arrows having already battered Xiang Tian, he was ready to finish the job with the Gods World Destruction Palm.

Xiang Tian knew that if he didn’t use his lifesaving trump card now, he was done for.

He quickly pulled a vial from his sleeve. Inside was a strange black pill. Without hesitation, Xiang Tian threw his head back and swallowed it down.

In the next instant, lines of black runes surged all over his body as his cultivation began to skyrocket uncontrollably.

"Aaaah—"

Xiang Tian was clearly enduring unimaginable agony, letting out a tortured scream.

Within two short breaths, Xiang Tian leapt up not one but two small realms—straight from the early stage to the late stage of Void Refining.

The primordial power in his body exploded in strength.

The sight even made Lin Chang’sheng a little shocked.

This pill was that vicious?

It could bump a cultivator two full small realms in just seconds?

BANG BANG BANG—

The next instant, palm seals crashed into Xiang Tian’s body, but they could no longer brutalize him—instead, he merely slid three yards back before steadying himself.

When Xiang Tian raised his head, his eyes were pitch black, as if the pill’s force had devoured his mind entirely.

"Kill. Kill—!"

Xiang Tian roared maniacally. In a blink, he leapt up, hurling a fist aura straight at Lin Chang’sheng in midair.

But Lin Chang’sheng was in the critical moment of subduing the Fire Qilin and couldn’t move, so he could only unleash arrows, blade aura, and fist seals to parry Xiang Tian’s attacks.

Though Xiang Tian’s cultivation had soared, he still wasn’t much stronger than Lin Chang’sheng, and was shaken back over and over by Lin’s counterstrikes.

But Xiang Tian was like a tireless beast, each time knocked back he came charging again, launching a relentless and mad assault at Lin Chang’sheng.

Thankfully, Lin Chang’sheng possessed the Six-Armed Divine Technique—his extra four arms handled Xiang Tian’s attacks, or else things would’ve gone south fast.

As time wore on, even with the Godslaying Pill boosting him, Xiang Tian couldn’t do a thing to Lin Chang’sheng.

Lin shook him off relentlessly; Xiang Tian’s arms and waist got battered, wounded again and again.

But under the pill’s effects, he felt no pain at all.

Still, that kind of cultivation boost always had a time limit.

After about the time it takes for burning an incense stick, the black glow faded slowly from Xiang Tian’s eyes—his senses returning a little.

He knew he couldn’t stay here anymore. If even the Godslaying Pill’s effects couldn’t defeat Lin Chang’sheng, once those wore off he’d be dead for sure.

So, Xiang Tian immediately fled into the cavern ahead.

If Lin Chang’sheng’s contract wasn’t still unfinished, he absolutely would’ve chased after him and ended it right there.

But in this instant, all he could do was watch Xiang Tian escape.

[Contract finalized!]

Roughly half an incense stick later, Lin Chang’sheng finally finished the master-servant contract with the Fire Qilin.

He opened his panel, discovering that he’d gained a five-hundred-year increase in lifespan, and the Qilin Flame.

It was probably because the Fire Qilin controlled flame, so he received the Qilin Flame.

Much like how the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle possessed the power of thunder, so after contracting it, Lin Chang’sheng gained the Power of Celestial Thunder too.
