Chapter 414: Chapter 114: Rescued
But just at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang instantly widened his eyes in shock, his face filled with astonishment, and his whole person froze.
After this figure appeared, without saying a word, he directly threw a punch.
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang hadn’t even had the chance to react before he was sent flying by that punch…
……
Seeing the palm of the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang descending, Li Qingqing had thought she was undoubtedly going to die, and was closing her eyes, waiting for death…
However, she suddenly felt something was off, and before she could even open her eyes, she felt a strong arm wrap around her slender waist, lifting her up.
And the anticipated pain did not come…
Li Qingqing then opened her eyes, only to see a pale-faced young man she did not recognize.
At the moment, there was a trace of blood at the corner of the young man’s mouth.
Clearly, he had been injured.
……
The one who had just saved Li Qingqing was, naturally, Lin Jing.
Lin Jing, who had been entangled with the puppet Black Slave, saw that Li Qingqing’s life was hanging by a thread.
Having no choice, he took a hit from the puppet, and then activated his speed to the utmost, instantly appearing beside Li Qingqing, blasting the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang away and saving her.
Li Qingqing looked up, puzzled at this stranger who had saved her, not understanding why he had rescued her.
Because she did not recognize him.
Yet it was this stranger she did not know who had, in the attempt to save her, been injured.
At this time, Lin Jing was only paying attention to the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang whom he had sent flying, with no time to spare for Li Qingqing.
Even that mysterious Demon Cultivator was stunned for a moment.
He had clearly seen that to save Li Qingqing, Lin Jing had taken a direct hit from the puppet.
And he himself had sustained serious injuries.
Actually.
The mysterious Demon Cultivator had noticed Lin Jing as soon as he appeared.
However, Lin Jing’s appearance and aura, as well as his cultivation level, were all unfamiliar to him.
He had thought that perhaps Lin Jing bore a grudge against the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang, or maybe he wanted to rescue another girl who had been auctioned off.
That’s why he had made a move against the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
But he never expected that this person would take a hit from the puppet to save Li Qingqing…
At that moment.
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang had just steadied himself.
Standing at a distance, he looked at that mysterious Demon Cultivator and Lin Jing, his gaze dark and gloomy, and said:
“Good…”
“Very good…”
“I didn’t expect you two to be in cahoots.”
“You’ve played a good act, managing to deceive even me.”
“But do you think this is enough to kill me? You’re too naive.”
Having said that.
The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang directly pulled out a jade pendant from around his neck and, without any hesitation, crushed it.
At the instant the jade pendant was crushed, a beam of light suddenly emanated from behind the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
The beam of light surged towards the sky, and at the same time, a voice as loud as a bell and incredibly domineering echoed between heaven and earth:
“Who dares to lay a hand on my child.”
In the blink of an eye, the beam of light transformed into a huge humanoid silhouette.
This figure looked incredibly dominant, and its presence was astounding. Even when facing this figure, Lin Jing could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from it.
Seeing this, Lin Jing hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to resist the frightening pressure.
The puppet Black Slave, which had intended to charge forward, also fell into a stupor upon the appearance of the silhouette.
Apart from the puppet, Li Qingqing felt even more pressure, her face turning pale and nearly unable to catch her breath, completely drained of strength and hanging limply in Lin Jing’s arm.
Besides Li Qingqing, another girl who had been auctioned off had directly fainted.
Luckily, the Bulrush Fan Magical Treasure beneath their feet was still floating on the sea surface; otherwise, the girl would have likely fallen into the sea by now.
Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly used his spiritual power to protect Li Qingqing.
Her complexion finally seemed to improve.
Then, Lin Jing gathered a strand of spiritual power and channeled it into the body of that girl. If he hadn’t done so, the girl probably would not have survived.
……
This huge figure appeared to be merely a Divine Sense.
However, the true cultivation of this person must be extraordinary.
Lin Jing estimated that at the very least, this person was a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator.
Plus, considering what he just said.
If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be the Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
Faced with such a ferocious aura, not only was Lin Jing deeply worried, but even the mysterious Demon Cultivator was on high alert.
At that moment, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang quickly spoke up:
“Father, save me…”
The silhouette looked at the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang and then said:
“Qi’er, wait. Your father’s real body is already aware of everything here, and is on his way…”
However, facing this silhouette, the mysterious Demon Cultivator brazenly launched a spell and attacked the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
At the same time, the Demon Cultivator said to Lin Jing:
“Don’t be intimidated by him. This is just a separate spirit of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator; it can’t actually attack us.”
But as the black spell approached, it was blocked by a hand from the separate spirit.
And then that divided spirit said:
“It seems you know quite a bit, indeed I can’t attack, but how could anyone I protect be harmed by you?”
As he spoke, the shadowy figure transformed directly into a golden pillar of light that soared to the sky, enveloping the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang within it.
Seeing this, the mysterious demon cultivator launched several spells in rapid succession. However, they were utterly unable to penetrate the pillar of light, let alone harm the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
At this point, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang became even more arrogant.
“Hahaha…”
“Thinking you can break through a barrier set by a Divine Transformation Cultivator, you are far too naive.”
“Just wait, my father will be here soon, and then, not one of you will be able to escape.”
Although the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang was so bold, he didn’t dare step out of the range of the light pillar.
The magical barrier could only protect him within that area. If he left the range of this defensive barrier,
confronting Lin Jing and the mysterious demon cultivator, his death would be certain.
Lin Jing saw that the mysterious demon cultivator, regardless of his own injuries, was continuously casting spells, trying in vain to attack the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang.
Yet, it was all for naught.
Lin Jing’s brows slightly furrowed, and then he turned to the mysterious demon cultivator and said:
“Fellow Daoist, stop wasting your spiritual power, it’s useless.”
It wasn’t until then that the mysterious demon cultivator stopped.
However, he still faced the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang, though his facial expression was not visible.
But Lin Jing could still clearly sense his raging, suppressed anger.
……
Just then, as Lin Jing observed the arrogantly behaving Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang inside the golden light pillar, he said:
“Fellow Daoist, I need your help.”
The mysterious demon cultivator turned his head, looked towards Lin Jing, and then said:
“Speak…”
Lin Jing then spoke:
“Please use the Demonic Mist to temporarily obstruct his vision; I can lead us out.”
After hearing this, the mysterious demon cultivator didn’t say much. Instead, he waved his hand, and a vast expanse of Demonic Mist surged out, coating the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang within the light pillar.
Faced with this situation, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang knew they were trying to leave, but he dared not leave the range of the light pillar carelessly.
Thus, he quickly ordered the Puppet Black Slave still outside:
“Black Slave, hold them back.”
Upon the Young Gang Leader’s command, the Puppet, which had been motionless until now, seemed to be reactivated and once again focused on Lin Jing.
And it charged straight out toward Lin Jing.
Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly let go of Li Qingqing,
preparing to confront the attacker.
However, at that moment, a stream of black Demonic Qi surged ahead of Lin Jing and directly entered the Puppet’s body.
The moment the Demonic Qi rushed in, the Puppet seemed to have its energy completely drained, it closed its eyes and stood there motionless.
By this time, the mysterious demon cultivator had also arrived.
He directly said to Lin Jing:
“This Puppet is quite powerful, but its weakness is also very obvious. With the right method, you can control it without expending much effort.”
Following that, the mysterious demon cultivator waved his hand and took the Puppet.
He first turned to glance at Li Qingqing, who was now unharmed, then turned back to Lin Jing and said:
“I want to know who you are…”
“And why you want to save her.”
At this time, the demon cultivator’s face was still shrouded in black mist, yet within the veil of darkness, two faint red glows could be distinctly seen.
In response, Lin Jing replied similarly:
“I have the same question, who are you exactly, and why do you want to save her?”
After speaking, Lin Jing continued:
“However, now is not the time to talk. We should leave this place first.”
“Otherwise, once the Black Shark Gang Leader arrives, none of us will be able to escape.”
The mysterious demon cultivator nodded and then said no more.
At this moment, the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang must have realized that the Puppet Black Slave had been subdued by the group, so he began to threaten:
“Do you really think you can escape? The methods of a Divine Transformation Cultivator are not within your comprehension.”
“Both of you are doomed.”
Aside from the Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang, the two Hall Masters who were trapped in the formation were still roaring in rage within it.
Perhaps it was because the formation confined their Divine Sense; they still had no idea what was happening on the outside.
However, Lin Jing and the other didn’t pay any attention to them.
Just then, the mysterious demon cultivator spoke up again:
“How do you plan to lead us out of here?”
Lin Jing said:
“Just follow me…”
With that, Lin Jing approached Li Qingqing, ready to pick her up.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing spoke and glanced towards the other girl who had been auctioned, saying to the mysterious demon cultivator:
“You take her and follow me.”
However, the mysterious demon cultivator was one step ahead and had already picked up Li Qingqing.
Then he extended his hand, pointed towards the other auctioned girl, and said to Lin Jing:
“She’s your responsibility…”
Lin Jing turned and looked at the still unconscious girl, and was momentarily at a loss for words…
But seeing how anxious the mysterious demon cultivator was about Li Qingqing, Lin Jing decided to concede.
