Chapter 1979 - 438: Turning the Tables?
Chapter 1979 - 438: Turning the Tables?
This is a Feng Shui treasure ground. A small power can rapidly grow strong after developing here for a few decades.
That's how the Xianxia Sect rose to prominence in the past, so they must repel the invading enemies no matter what.
Seeing the Xianxia Sect Leader choose to fight to the end with him, Lin Yifan felt quite gratified at heart.
Although the cultivation power within him was indeed heavily depleted at the moment, he could still sustain it for more than twenty minutes, maybe even longer; therefore, the outcome of the battle would only result in the Xianxia Sect Leader losing, not him.
"Boom!"
After an unknown number of Five Thunder Bombardment releases, the Xianxia Sect Leader was finally injured.
Once there's a breakthrough, everything falls into place.
Lin Yifan concentrated his power, continuously attacking the wounded spots of the Xianxia Sect Leader.
The Xianxia Sect Leader kept dodging attacks but still couldn't avoid being struck once or twice.
As the wound grew, his injuries became increasingly severe.
After ten minutes, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to flee.
Having reached this point, how could Lin Yifan let him escape? Thus, he pursued relentlessly with the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.
"Boom!"
Five immensely powerful black thunderbolts continuously split out, bombarding the Xianxia Sect Leader who was fleeing ahead.
The Xianxia Sect disciples were dumbfounded.
Such a powerful Sect Leader being chased and beaten by a young brat, if word got out, even if the Sect Leader didn't find it shameful, they would.
The Fifth Elder felt the same, feeling utterly disgraced.
On the other hand, the Gang Leader of Weihu Gang was incredibly joyful, finally dragging the damn bastard Xianxia Sect Leader down; at least the Netherworld wouldn't be lonely now.
The secretly observing City Lord of Xianxia City was astonished by Lin Yifan's prowess, simply extraordinarily terrifying.
It could be said that in the same realm, Lin Yifan was almost unbeatable.
Even the outstanding young talents of higher planes might not possess such abilities, right?
The people of Xianxia City and Jiang's parents, who had rushed early to watch the show, had just reached halfway up the mountain when they heard the sounds of battle in the air.
They looked up and recognized two familiar figures.
One was that little brother they saw earlier, the other was the most feared existence in Xianxia City—the Xianxia Sect Leader.
Lin Yifan was actually chasing the Xianxia Sect Leader, whom the people of Xianxia City feared most; they were all terrified.
How was this possible? They remembered that the Xianxia Sect Leader was an invincible existence, even the Gang Leader of Weihu Gang had to submit to him, not daring any disrespect.
"Divine Doctor truly is like a divine being."
"Eradicating evil for the people is not just talk, he really did it."
"He will be the great man of our Xianxia City, and we all owe him gratitude and reverence."
...
Jiang's parents had mixed feelings.
Previously, they never believed Lin Yifan had the ability to eradicate evil for the people and overthrow the rule of the Xianxia Sect, but unexpectedly, Lin Yifan had accomplished it all.
They realized their vision was too short-sighted, not understanding that the cultivation world determines strength and weakness by power, not age and experience.
"Benefactor has done so much for us. I, Jiang Darong, swear today to serve Benefactor loyally for life."
He vaguely remembered that before setting out, Lin Yifan said he wanted to avenge them. Although he added a sentence about eradicating evil later, it cannot be denied that Benefactor's initial motivation was to help them avenge.
Just based on this, it was enough to move him deeply.
"Boom!"
The Xianxia Sect Leader was like a fleeing enemy aircraft, continuously bombarded by missiles released by Lin Yifan, looking utterly miserable.
A few minutes later, the enemy aircraft finally crashed.
However, before crashing, the enemy aircraft chose to go down together with the enemy, using a trump card.
This trump card was an extremely powerful magic artifact, the power contained within had already surpassed the Great Immortal Fifth Realm.
The Xianxia Sect Leader usually didn't want to use it, saving it for the most dangerous, most critical moment to deliver the enemy a fatal blow, to gain a sliver of chance to escape or survive.
Now at the end of the road, it was time to use it.
Sensing immense danger approaching head-on, Lin Yifan, who was chasing and attacking the Xianxia Sect Leader, was greatly surprised and quickly hid inside the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring.
"Boom!"
Powerful as laser-like energy swept across Lin Yifan's previous position in an instant.
This all happened within a second, not even enough time to blink.
As the Xianxia Sect Leader looked back, seeing no sign of Lin Yifan, he thought Lin Yifan had been killed, and felt immensely gratified.
Meanwhile, the people of Xianxia City and Jiang's parents watching halfway up the mountain only reacted a moment later.
When they saw a long rainbow appear in the sky, piercing through where the Divine Doctor had stood, their hearts skipped a beat, fearing the worst.
"The Divine Doctor couldn't have been killed, could he?"
"After coming such a long way, losing due to carelessness at the very end?"
"Too appalling, isn't it? The Xianxia Sect Leader, that vicious dog, needs to be killed first!"
...
"Benefactor, you can't be in trouble, can you?"
"Benefactor, I still need to serve you loyally, how could you be gone so quickly..."
Jiang Darong was filled with tears, feeling extremely distressed.
Jiang's mother, beside him, kept comforting him, hoping he'd feel a little better.
Meanwhile, on the mountain, the Gang Leader of Weihu Gang, the City Lord of Xianxia City, the Xianxia Sect disciples, the Fifth Elder, and little Yuxi were all stunned.
Lin Yifan seemed to have been counter-killed, and in just this moment, the situation reversed so swiftly?
The Weihu Gang Leader cried in pain, feeling he spoke too harshly earlier; even if the Xianxia Sect Leader won, he wouldn't survive until tomorrow.
The City Lord of Xianxia City was also not in a good mood.
He thought today would turn the world around, but the outcome remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, little Yuxi was extremely anxious, running down while continuously shouting: "Big brother! Big brother..."
After being stunned for a few seconds, the Xianxia Sect disciples and the Fifth Elder began to smile, showing a long-lost smile.
The Sect Leader had finally won, and their Xianxia Sect had finally held firm.
"I said, the Sect Leader wouldn't lose so easily."
"The Sect Leader is cunning, keeping a trump card."
"Having waited so long for the timing, they finally found it. Just one strike, and they managed to turn the tide and achieve victory. The Sect Leader is awesome."
"Yes! The Sect Leader is awesome!"
...
Some were rejoicing, others were worried and frowning.
And all of this, within a few seconds, reversed.
Lin Yifan emerged, appearing intact within everyone's sight.
Witnessing this scene, the crashed Xianxia Sect Leader was the first to be shocked, his face full of disbelief and bewilderment.
"How is this possible?"
This was the first question that popped into his mind.
The attack from his trump card magic artifact was supposed to be unavoidable for Lin Yifan with his current speed and realm.
The originally assured and lethal result, how did it turn into non-lethal?
He couldn't comprehend it at all.
The same went for everyone else, unable to understand.
They all thought Lin Yifan had been killed by that majestic force, little did they know he wasn't killed.
