Chapter 2096: Return to the Dan Alliance
The Light Messenger tried to evade, but found that his breath was locked by a sword.
No escape possible.
He could only burn his blood essence again, activating his bloodline talent.
"Bright Shield!"
At this moment, he expended his blood essence, activating his inner qi, and condensed a Bright Shield around himself.
A shield as brilliant as the sun, to protect him from behind.
Due to the shattering of his 'Sky Boundary Saint Body', even though it was a massive cost, he had to condense this Bright Shield.
"Swoosh!!" A sword strike bombarded the Bright Shield he formed, and instantly, the Bright Shield also shattered.
However, although the Bright Shield broke, it did block the majority of the Sword Qi.
Only about a tenth of the Sword Qi scattered and fell onto the Light Messenger.
But even that tenth of the Sword Qi was more than the Light Messenger's current physique could withstand.
After all, his 'Sky Boundary Saint Body' was already shattered!
"Boom~~~" His body withstood the blow, causing his body to fall from mid-air.
Already injured, now even his foundation was damaged.
Since he broke through to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, he had never been injured so severely.
"Boom!"
His body fell from high above, crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit.
Intense pain surged from within, bloodied and injured, his internal organs also harmed by the Sword Qi.
His body could hardly bear the strain!
But even so, he dared not linger.
At this moment, he had to do everything to flee immediately.
Otherwise, today he would indeed fall here.
"Ah~~" He let out a roar, once again burning his blood essence, performing the third bloodline art.
"Wings of Light!"
Nearly all his blood essence burned, using bloodline power to conjure a pair of Wings of Light.
With these Wings of Light, he regained the speed he had before.
"Swoosh~~~"
He flapped the Wings of Light, transforming into a stream of light faster than before, rushing towards a seaside.
Lin Dong initially wanted to pursue him.
But suddenly sensed many powerful auras approaching!
Several Southborne martial artists were closing in.
Lin Dong could only shake his head, softly saying, "Looks like today, I can only let him escape."
"However, with the injuries he has now, even if he escapes, it will at least take him years to recover to his peak."
Lin Dong originally intended to kill him.
But to kill him, he would have to use the 'Heart Nurturing Sword'.
If he used the Heart Nurturing Sword, it would expose his identity as 'Master Lin'.
So he decided against killing the Light Messenger.
After all, he had already heavily injured him, and he didn't know his identity. Letting him go, he wouldn't know whom to seek vengeance upon later.
Moreover, even if he wanted revenge, he couldn't achieve it.
Now he was not Lin Dong's opponent, and with Lin Dong's talent, the gap in strength between them would only grow wider.
When Lin Dong sensed martial artist auras approaching, he directly concealed himself and left.
It wasn't long before he left that area.
His presence also vanished entirely!
And the Light Messenger, with his wings gathered, fled miserably toward the distant sea.
This scene was observed by some Southborne Earth Realm martial artists.
"Isn't that the Light Messenger of the Nine-Headed Society, a true Heavenly Realm martial artist! Is he running away?" exclaimed a martial arts expert from the Ancient European Country who escaped to Southborne for refuge.
He, being a person with Earth Realm martial artist's strength, had offended the Nine-Headed Society and fled to Southborne to escape trouble.
As for this Light Messenger, one of the four great envoys of the Nine-Headed Society, he was an existence he certainly recognized.
Usually, upon seeing such an existence as the Light Messenger, he would be so frightened he wouldn't dare speak, his soul trembling.
But now, he discovered that the Light Messenger was fleeing like a stray dog. The shock he felt was imaginable.
"Who on earth could wound the Nine-Headed Society's Heavenly Realm Martial Artist Light Messenger like this?"
"Making him flee like a stray dog? Does Southborne harbor such a level of existence?"
"Surely, Southborne is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, no wonder it is called the Land of Chaos."
"..."
At this moment, everyone was extremely shocked.
They were all curious about who it was that injured the Light Messenger so severely.
Light Messenger evidently noticed those observing from afar, if it were usual, anyone daring to discuss him behind his back would have been slain by him.
Even Earth Realm martial artists daring to discuss him would have been crushed by him like ants.
But now, he obviously didn't dare to do so.
Although the aura of 'Barbarian Lin' had disappeared, he dared not remain in Southborne.
Now, he just wanted to return to the Ancient European Country quickly, leave Southborne, far from 'Barbarian Lin' within thousands of miles.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~"
At this moment, he was doing everything he could to drive the Wings of Light to escape at the fastest speed.
Activating blood essence in such a severely injured state would have a significant impact on his martial foundation.
It could be said that after today's battle, he would never be able to break through to the Second Heaven of Heavenly Realm Martial Artist strength again.
To recover to the peak state would already be a great achievement.
"Damn it, Barbarian Lin, I'll remember you! Once I return to the Nine-Headed Society, no matter the cost, I will find those old geezers to kill you!"
Evidently, he couldn't swallow this humiliation.
But he also knew that relying only on himself, he would never be able to avenge his revenge in this lifetime.
He could only seek help from other Heavenly Realm martial artists of the Nine-Headed Society.
Perhaps together they could kill him!
Just one major problem, he knew nothing specific about the opponent.
All he knew was that he was called 'Barbarian Lin'! A Stage Ten Martial Arts Master!
He possessed a heaven-defying level skill!
Lin Dong had already left the area.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared hundreds of miles away.
As of now, his breath has exceeded ten times the speed of sound.
Realizing the time, he saw that since he left the Dan Alliance to destroy the Brahman and visited Tomb of Emperor Win Pill, as well as refining the Thunder Tribulation Pill, it had only been five days until Lin Tiance's wedding!
"It seems I need to head back to the Dan Alliance first and then find an excuse to head for the Dragon Country!" he thought, and quickly made his way to the Dan Alliance.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Upon seeing his younger sister, Qin Yitian, he asked her, "Hasn't our brother-in-law returned yet?"
Of course, if by that time her brother-in-law hadn't shown up, he wouldn't be courteous.
If necessary, he would take direct action to inflict the 'Poison Insects' on Dong Lin, which would engulf him in unbearable pain, a fate worse than death!
Qin Yitian knew her brother too well, and said, "I've already asked him, and he has something to do…"
He met his younger sister Qin Yitian, then asked her, "Hasn't brother-in-law returned yet?"
After five days, today was indeed cutting it fine.
Qin Feng said, "He better not try to betray you, I will definitely find those old fogies and have them take him out!"
Then Hong Lian came in and reported.
"Lord Hierarch, Miss, brother-in-law has returned!"
