Chapter 712: First, Cripple the Five Limbs

Based on these observations, Lin Zhangqing could very intuitively deduce that third-grade or fourth-grade defensive magic treasures would certainly be unable to block the attack of these Samsara Needles.

He had never seen a fifth-grade defensive magic treasure, so it was difficult to make reckless inferences, but he believed there was a high probability that it would also be unable to block them.

However, given his cultivation base, even if he had such a treasure in his hands, he would actually have no way to pose a threat to Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, if one thought that having this set of treasures meant they could do whatever they wanted, that would be a grave mistake!

Not to mention anything else, just speaking of battling Golden Core cultivators, others could take your life from over a hundred miles away!

They wouldn't give you a chance to get close at all; in that case, possessing treasures would also be of no use.

At most, having this set of Three Treasures Samsara Needles would allow him to truly roam freely through the Purple Mansion stage!

However, even so, Lin Zhangqing was already very satisfied; with this set of treasures, his strength had at least more than doubled!

He toyed with them for a good while longer before finally restraining his emotions, because he was truly too excited and too happy!

But the appearance of this set of treasures also disrupted Lin Zhangqing's plans, because the Three Treasures Samsara Needles had only just been initially refined.

He couldn't command them at all yet; if he truly wanted to succeed in refining them, it would certainly be impossible without at least half a year of time.

Therefore, he was very hesitant now, not knowing whether he should return to Cuiyun Valley to refine the spiritual treasure or follow the original plan and continue to lie in wait for Wei Zhanggeng outside the market.

However, after weighing the options, he finally decided to continue the stakeout, because while waiting, he could also divert the majority of his focus to refining this spiritual treasure.

It was just that because he couldn't concentrate fully on the refining, the efficiency would be somewhat worse.

But that didn't matter; he had about a year and a half, and it was more important to deal with that poisonous snake, Wei Zhanggeng, first! Early the next morning, he left Tianshui Market and flew about three to four hundred miles in the direction of the sect's Shenshui Island.

He found a reef exposed above the sea surface, sought out a relatively suitable spot, and shrouded himself with the magic treasure light gauze.

Because he was prepared for a long-term stakeout, Lin Zhangqing actually didn't dare to set up a Spirit Gathering Array here.

After all, it was only a second-grade formation, and it would very likely be discovered by the Tianshui Sect cultivators coming and going.

Therefore, he simply covered himself with the magic treasure light gauze instead, which made it less likely for him to be noticed.

Just like that, Lin Zhangqing kept watch here, refining the Three Treasures Samsara Needles on the side—one day, two days, ten days, half a month...

Days went by one after another, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed! Lin Zhangqing had never experienced such a long wait; during this period, the number of cultivators who had passed within a ten-mile radius of him was at least three thousand, if not five thousand.

Unfortunately, not one of them was Wei Zhanggeng, making Lin Zhangqing doubt whether his judgment had been wrong after all! He had already decided that he would wait at most one more month; if there was still no sign, he would prepare to give up.

At that time, if there was truly no other way, he would go to the Listening Wind Pavilion to purchase Wei Zhanggeng's whereabouts, even though that would carry the risk of exposure.

But that would be better than continuing to wait like this like a rabbit waiting for a tree stump; in any case, his patience was almost exhausted! Just like that, another twenty-odd days passed. On this day, a mottled escape light flew over from the direction of the Tianshui Sect.

It happened to pass through the sea area near him and was instantly captured by Lin Zhangqing. The aura of this escape light was precisely Wei Zhanggeng's. Because the matter was of great importance, he remembered it very clearly. At this moment, Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed; he had finally waited for him! Fearing he would miss the opportunity, he locked onto him with his divine sense, then flipped his hand, and the Green Thunder Gourd appeared in his palm.

Immediately after, two Jia Wood Divine Thunders shot out instantly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After the two claps of thunder, Wei Zhanggeng's escape light was directly shattered, and his entire person was knocked off his spiritual artifact flying sword.

Fortunately, it was the open sea below, so he wasn't directly killed by the fall, but these two Jia Wood Divine Thunders had already left him severely injured! Moreover, because it was lightning-attribute damage, his whole body was paralyzed for a short time, and he couldn't run at all! Of course, Lin Zhangqing didn't give him a chance to escape either; with a single Thunder Breaking Void Escape, he appeared right in front of him.

Originally, according to Lin Zhangqing's initial thoughts, as long as he saw Wei Zhanggeng, he would send him on his way regardless of anything else! But during this period of waiting, he discovered that this approach had major problems!

Because Wei Zhanggeng was, after all, the only son of a Golden Core cultivator, he certainly had things similar to soul lamps or life tablets stored in the sect or with his father.

As soon as he was killed, the sect or his father would know immediately, and he might even feed back some information from the moment of death.

When they investigated later, Lin Zhangqing happened to be outside during this period.

That went without saying; he would certainly be a major suspect. Therefore, he later realized that he absolutely could not kill Wei Zhanggeng immediately.

【Checking for errors in the version!】

The best method was to capture him alive first, then lock him up, and find a suitable opportunity to deal with him later.

And as for something to imprison Wei Zhanggeng in, Lin Zhangqing happened to have just the thing: the Hundred Li Flood Dragon Sea. It just so happened that this item had also been brought out by him this time.

Therefore, for this strike, Lin Zhangqing controlled the power and did not directly take Wei Zhanggeng's life! At this moment, Lin Zhangqing had already subdued Wei Zhanggeng and, at the first opportunity, scavenged everything on his body! This included an invisible storage bracelet. He searched him carefully from head to toe twice, finally leaving him with only the simplest of clothes.

By this time, the paralysis caused by the divine thunder had finally passed.

Wei Zhanggeng asked with difficulty: "Who are you? Why do you dare to strike at me near the Tianshui Sect?"

Lin Zhangqing was wearing the Spirit Concealing Mask and dressed in ordinary Daoist robes, so he did not expose his true identity.

At this moment, he didn't want to chatter with Wei Zhanggeng, because he firmly remembered that villains die from talking too much!

Therefore, he did not answer him. After a cold laugh, he struck directly, crippling his five limbs and puncturing his dantian qi sea!

On the spot, he turned him into a cripple who couldn't be more crippled. Then, ignoring his screams, he threw him directly into the Hundred Li Flood Dragon Sea.

Next, he began to clean up the scene, searching for all sorts of things that might leave traces, including fragments of clothing and blood; he took everything away.

He also quickly found the spiritual artifact flying sword that Wei Zhanggeng had been using just now.

He also spent some time cleaning up all the traces he had left behind during his two-plus months of staying here! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 713 =====
