Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

"go!"

With a flick of his wrist, the meteor blade transformed into a streak of light once more, hurtling straight toward the eagle-eyed man.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qing flicked his wrist.

All five water arrow talismans were activated, unleashing a sky full of water arrows that rained down from the sky, blocking the opponent's escape route.

A series of actions, performed in one smooth motion.

But Lin Qing dared not relax and raised his hand to summon the Xuan Shui Furnace.

A blue light flowed, protecting the left and right sides.

Just then, from behind a rock about seven or eight zhang away, a wisp of light appeared silently, skimming along the dark ground, and shot straight toward Lin Qing's waist and abdomen without stopping.

His keen senses were frantically alerting him, and a strong sense of crisis instantly triggered Lin Qing's instincts.

"clang-"

In a flash, Lin Qing suddenly threw the Xuan Shui Furnace back, and with a clang, it blocked a black dagger that suddenly darted out from the shadows.

"A high-grade first-tier magic weapon?"

Just now on the spirit ship, when that cultivator used the small flag, a high-grade magic weapon, he had already become wary.

That's why the trump card bestowed by the ancestor was activated instantly.

Now, the pirates have pulled out a high-grade magic dagger. This is enough to prove that this group has an extraordinary background and probably didn't come specifically for the Lin family.

Lin Qing was surprised, and the man with eagle eyes was even more surprised.

He never expected that this young man at the eighth level of Qi Refining would have such keen senses.

Even the sneak attack by the "Shadowless Little Sword" was discovered.

You should know that this trick of his has never failed him; at least eighteen, if not twenty, cultivators have died by this small black sword!

The eagle-eyed man's expression darkened, and he no longer held back.

He mustered his magical power, waved his hand, and summoned a ball of dark red flame. The heat waves rolled and the powerful aura evaporated the water arrows in no time.

"Buzz—"

The water jets evaporated into a thin mist, inadvertently obscuring the vision of both sides.

It's now!

The two suddenly leaped up.

One was a blue figure that moved swiftly like lightning. The mid-grade magic weapon, the Azure Lotus Sword, danced with sword light, forming a whirlwind-like combined sword energy with the Meteor Blade, which pierced towards the man in black with unstoppable force.

One was black and silent, while a dark red flame, carrying a scorching aura, swept towards Lin Qing.

Meanwhile, the eagle-eyed man wielded a strange black sword, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, shooting from all sorts of tricky angles, making it impossible to defend against.

At this critical moment, Lin Qing's eyes turned cold, his mind was tense, and his heart was pounding. Far from being afraid or retreating, he was filled with ruthlessness because of the corpses of Lin Yunhe and Xiao Hei beside him!

Be ruthless to the enemy, but even more ruthless to yourself!

Lin Qing suddenly poured his magic power into the Xuan Shui Cauldron, and the cauldron instantly swelled to the height of half a person.

With a clang, the small black sword was slammed to the ground.

"Ding ding ding—"

Within a few breaths, the black sword had already struck more than ten times. With the Xuan Shui Cauldron being of mid-grade quality, it was clear that it couldn't hold out for long.

"How dare you!"

The hawk-eyed man spoke coldly, uttering two words from his thin lips.

"court death!"

He released his spiritual pressure without reservation, revealing himself to be a Qi Refining Level 9 expert!

Then, he fiercely summoned the same mid-grade red broadsword he had used at the beginning, transforming it into a streak of red light as he slashed towards Lin Qing.

With a thought, Lin Qing revealed the small black shield that had been hidden in his storage bag.

"bite"

The small black shield trembled slightly, and the red throwing knife left only a shallow mark on the shield, steadily blocking the attack.

At this moment, including the magical artifacts he had previously used, Lin Qing was now wielding as many as four magical artifacts simultaneously!

Barely approaching the limit of divine sense!

The eagle-eyed man could clearly see that Lin Qing's face was pale and cold sweat was beading on his forehead, indicating that he was at his last gasp.

Therefore, he merely controlled the dark red flames and engaged in a fierce battle with the Azure Lotus and Meteor Blade, actually considering a war of attrition.

Lin Qing gritted his teeth, and with a flick of his sleeve, several water arrow talismans were activated again, raining down on the eagle-eyed man. Seeing that he had run out of tricks, the man couldn't help but smile smugly.

"I'll definitely extract your soul and refine it into corpse oil later, just like your clansmen!"

"you!"

Spurred on, Lin Qing seemed to suddenly lose control, frantically pouring in his magic power. Apart from the small black shield protecting him, all his other magical artifacts burst forth with spiritual light, as if they were about to self-destruct.

The eagle-eyed man's expression changed drastically, and just as he was about to retreat, the water arrow talisman that had been rushing towards him fell down on his head!

He braced himself with both hands, and a magical barrier rose up with a "hum".

"If we can just get through this, the advantage is in our hands!"

Delayed, he had a sudden thought and was about to take out the talisman when he saw the meteor blade, which was right next to him, self-destruct first.

"boom-"

The eagle-eyed man's magical barrier shattered, and he himself was also affected by the force of the self-destruction, falling to the ground.

"puff-"

The magical artifact self-destructed, causing significant damage to Lin Qing's spiritual consciousness. He could no longer suppress the urge to spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned deathly pale.

The man with eagle eyes also suffered many cuts. After all, the Meteor Blade was a chain magic weapon, and after its self-destruction, it had many fragments that were impossible to dodge at close range.

"Splash—"

Without the support of the magical barrier, all the water arrow talismans fell down.

However, its power was insufficient, and it only soaked the eagle-eyed man!

"What are you looking at?!"

The hawk-eyed man, soaking wet, suddenly caught Lin Qing's gaze. It was like looking at a dead man; a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but shout at him.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"sensation-"

The hawk-eyed man collapsed to the ground, his body oozing foul-smelling black liquid. His hawk-like eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.

"Heh heh—"

"What's in your water arrow talisman...?"

Having lost the control of the eagle-eyed man, the other magical artifacts had lost much of their spiritual power and fell to the ground.

Lin Qing had no intention of explaining anything to him. With a simple hand gesture, the Azure Lotus Sword, leaving a trail of afterimages, severed the head of the eagle-eyed man, ending his life.

"call-"

Lin Qing put away all the other magical artifacts, leaving only a small shield, and then took out a pill and swallowed it.

This battle was extremely dangerous. Now, not only is his magical power exhausted, but he only has 30% of his peak strength left. His spiritual consciousness has also been damaged. Fortunately, he has the "Spirit Nourishing Pill" bestowed by the ancestor. As long as he calms down and recuperates, he can recover.

In fact, Lin Qing had always been wary of this pirate "boss".

Therefore, when the attacker suddenly struck while Lin Qing was distracted, Lin Qing was already wondering how to respond.

After searching the entire storage bag, the only thing capable of instantly killing an enemy was the bottle of black mutated golden threadfin venom obtained years ago when he and the ancestor explored the ancient ship ruins.

According to the ancestor's analysis, this venom will kill any Qi Refining cultivator who comes into contact with it if they have a wound!

With the help of the ancestor, the third aunt successfully drew the venom into the talisman paper, and gave four of the twelve talismans to Lin Qing.

That's why Lin Qing used a normal water arrow talisman first to lull the opponent into a false sense of security. Once the opponent lowered their guard, he then unexpectedly unleashed a poison water arrow talisman!

bold!

Attentive!

He also possesses outstanding combat talent.

Unbeknownst to Lin Qing, he had already completed a crucial battle tempering.

After a while, Lin Qing's complexion improved slightly. He didn't dare to linger and carefully examined the eagle-eyed man's body. He found a palm-sized black scale-like object on the man's neck. Without even having time to examine it, he hurriedly threw it into his storage bag along with the other items.

They carefully removed the bodies of Lin Yunhe and Xiao Hei and placed them separately in a storage bag.

Feeling that Lin Yunhe's body weighed less than ten pounds, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Fourth Brother.

"I'll avenge you first."

Lin Qing silently closed Yunhe's eyes.

"Rest in peace. If there are any other hidden stories behind this, I will definitely investigate and find out the truth."

Lin Qing threw the eagle-eyed man's head into the storage bag and cleaned up the traces at the scene.

Finally, they hurriedly returned to the spirit ship.

Lin Qing pulled down the fat cultivator's mask, revealing a round, chubby middle-aged man's face.

do not know.

Recording the incident with a photo recorder, Lin Qing waved his hand and threw the murderer's body into the sea.
