Chapter 654: 360
At that moment, seeing his ghostly silhouette and the flash of red light that arrived at his forehead in the blink of an eye,
Yuan Shuo was completely panicked and stood frozen on the spot.
No sooner had the red light descended than Yuan Shuo, without even time to let out a cry, was beheaded.
After Yuan Shuo had been killed, peace returned to the world once more.
By then, Lin Tianhu's complexion was somewhat pale; although he had succeeded in his objective, the toll had been considerable.
However, with Yuan Shuo finally dealt with, the next step was to quickly clean up the battlefield and then leave this place.
Determined, Lin Tianhu wasted no further time and quickly cast several fireballs to destroy Yuan Shuo's corpse and eliminate all traces.
Subsequently, he collected Yuan Shuo's storage bag, as well as two magic artifacts for attack and defense.
Both of these artifacts were of Second Order Medium Quality, with quite impressive attributes.
The attack artifact was a sword, and the defense artifact was a grey small shield that had withstood his strike with almost no damage at all.
Clearly, the overall standard for cultivation in Jingzhou was stronger than that of Qingzhou, especially the Ten Nations of Central Jingzhou, which were significantly more advanced than the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.
Moreover, the cultivation capabilities of the Yu'an Country's Cultivation Realm, particularly the Four Arts of Cultivation, were evidently much more adept compared to the remote Wei Kingdom.
When Yuan Shuo deployed the two artifacts, Lin Tianhu had already been coveting them, and now at last, they were his.
Once he fully refined them, it was certain that his overall strength would improve even further.
With the cleanup of the battlefield finished and all signs of the fight wiped clean,
Lin Tianhu took out the map, gave it a look, and then shot toward the north.
Yuan Shuo had mentioned earlier that the Yuan family's estate was located to the west, about five hundred li away.
Always cautious, Lin Tianhu feared that Yuan Shuo might have deliberately lied to mislead him.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to fly north.
The reason for that decision was also because the neighboring Guang'an Kingdom to the north of Yu'an Country, of all the bordering nations, was the closest one.
Furthermore, Guang'an Kingdom was also one of the Central Ten Nations of Jingzhou, its overall strength just as formidable, if not more so, than that of Yu'an Country.
Such a kingdom, vast in territory with numerous dangerous places and secret realms, was definitely the best destination for any Loose Cultivator to gain experience.
Therefore, as he was now alone, it was the perfect opportunity for Lin Tianhu to go to the Guang'an Kingdom's Cultivation Realm and witness Jingzhou's top-tier cultivation nations.
Under these circumstances, his goal was very clear—to reach the borders of Guang'an Kingdom as quickly as possible, all the while ensuring his safety.
As long as he left Yu'an Country behind, the threat of the Yuan family would be almost negligible.
Once there, he would then find a way to search for news of Lin Tianfeng and prepare thoroughly for the return to his family.
In his heart, Lin Tianfeng had also been swept into a spatial fissure like himself; since he had survived, Lin Tianfeng might have too.
However, rumor had it that those who were lucky enough to survive being caught in a spatial fissure had no choice as to where they would end up.
Moreover, even those who entered the same spatial fissure could end up landing in vastly different places.
Given that, the likelihood of him and Lin Tianfeng landing in the same place was almost improbable.
But he firmly believed that Lin Tianfeng was alive.
He even had a premonition that they would eventually reunite and return to their family together.
This belief was unwaveringly firm in his heart and became his strongest motivation as he ventured on.
