Afterward, Lin Jing walked forward as if he had noticed nothing.
The feeling of being followed persisted throughout the journey, at times fading in and out of perception.
Not until he had left the Fang Market and entered the outskirts did this sensation suddenly intensify.
Lin Jing could even feel his heartbeat quickening beyond its normal pace.
Ding
The sudden sound of the system alert left Lin Jing momentarily stunned.
System alert: Host detected in danger, alert function automatically upgrading.
Alert function upgrade requires the deduction of 10 Harvest Points. Detecting that the host currently has 49 Harvest Points, deduction will proceed automatically. Current remaining Harvest Points: 39.
System upgrading
Ding
Alert function upgrade complete, this function can now be used externally.
Warning!
Within alert range, someone harbors lethal intent towards the host, please respond promptly.
Seeing the system notification, Lin Jing finally realized.
Indeed, my feelings were correct. There really is someone tracking me, and they bear ill intent.
Someone wanted to kill him.
It was obvious that after leaving the Fang Market, this person could no longer hold back.
As if oblivious, Lin Jing continued on until he reached an alleyway. With a turn, he entered the alley. System.
Enter System Space.
Upon stepping into the alley, Lin Jing silently called out to the system and entered the System Space.
System, activate Observation Mode.
Just after entering the System Space, Lin Jing activated the Observation Mode.
His perspective shifted and Lin Jing began to surveil, with an unobstructed view of the outside world.
He saw a person clad in black clothing hurriedly approaching after Lin Jings disappearance.
Eh? Wheres the person?
The individual looked around but did not see Lin Jing, then expressed doubt.
While under Observation Mode, Lin Jing could see this persons appearance clearly.
It was the same man dressed in black who had tried to sell him the Black Market Token that day.
Lin Jing frowned in contemplation:
Could this person have been eyeing me for some time?
However, the man in black soon provided Lin Jing with the answer.
After searching around and seeing no one, the man in black started to doubt. Where could he have gone, how could he just vanish all of a sudden?
Impossible, a mere Qi Refinement initial stage cultivator couldnt possibly have noticed me. Was I exposed already?
Does that mean Ive been waiting here for days in vain?
The man in black was quite frustrated as he muttered to himself.
Ever since that incident, he had been lying in wait at the Fang Market for several days, just to catch Lin Jing making another appearance.
He had waited until today, finally seeing Lin Jing, only to lose him. The man in black felt unspeakably upset.
In his opinion, Lin Jing was merely a Qi Refinement third layer cultivator, while he was at the seventh layer, there was no reason for him to lose track of Lin Jing.
After all, he had been monitoring that fellow with his Divine Sense, yet he had disappeared suddenly.
After listening to the man in blacks words, Lin Jing now understood that since the Black Market Token incident, this person had been waiting for him.
It was probably not just for revenge, it was very likely he also had plots of robbery and murder.
Thinking back to that day, after he had sold his Elixir Medicine and the behavior of the man in black, Lin Jing felt even more certain of his conclusion.
It seems this person must be eliminated.
This man had memorized the way he looked in disguise, and Lin Jing had no skill in altering his appearance. No matter how he might disguise himself, it would be in vain and eventually, a flaw would be exposed.
And he didnt possess a magical treasure to change his appearance now; being targeted by this person meant he would likely never know peace in the future.
Therefore, this person had to be eliminated.
Having decided to dispose of this person, Lin Jing immediately took out his Storage Bag and fetched two talismans from within.
The two Five Thunder Talismans previously given by Senior Han.
This was Lin Jings assurance.
At this moment, the man in black who had been searching outside for a while still hadnt found Lin Jing and was hanging his head, preparing to leave.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Youve been following me for so long, do you want to make a deal with me?
The man in black was startled by this sudden voice, swiftly turned around, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Lin Jing standing there.
Its you! How did you appear?
The man in black stared at Lin Jing, confusion in his voice.
You need not worry about that.
Youve followed me all this way, could it be you want to trade your so-called Black Market Token with me again? The man in black suddenly laughed.
A trade?
He finished speaking, took out a Black Market Token, and toyed with it in his hand.
Are you talking about this?
This is a great item, but what a pity, you dont know its worth.
After saying this, the corners of the man in blacks mouth curved into a cruel arc.
Die you shall.
The man in black erupted into action, conjuring a Flying Sword magic artifact, and charged towards Lin Jing.
The person before him was too strange, and to avoid prolonging the night and more dreams, he decided not to delay and to kill him outright.
Lin Jing, however, was far from panicked, his eyes blazing as he intently watched the man in black approaching.
When the man in black was still about a dozen meters away from Lin Jing
Lin Jing let out a light shout and quickly threw the Five Thunder Talisman he was clutching behind his back.
By the time the man in black noticed and saw it clearly, the Five Thunder Talisman was already in front of him.
Five Thunder Talisman!!
The man in black was immediately scared witless, his arrogance gone, and he hurriedly halted his charge, trying to retreat backward.
However, it was too late to retreat now.
Explode!
With Lin Jings command, the violent energy contained within the Five Thunder Talisman instantly tore the talisman to pieces, with dozens of bolts of lightning appearing out of thin air, brigh tening the sky and continual thunder rumbling, instantly engulfing the man in black.
Ahhh
The man in black tumbled uncontrollably, emitting pitiful screams
However, the screams did not last long before they vanished.
As for the man in black, he no longer made a sound.
It was no joke, this was a Five Thunder Talisman that only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could create, and the spell it released was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
And what was the man in blacks cultivation? Naturally, he couldnt withstand the attack from the Five Thunder Talisman.
A moment later, the lightning dissipated, the energy in the Five Thunder Talisman had been fully unleashed.
Only then did Lin Jing move forward to see the man in blacks tragic state; half of his body had already disappeared, and most of the remaining torso was charred.
Clearly, he was dead beyond any doubt.
Lin Jing sighed in relief, then put away the second Five Thunder Talisman.
Picking up the broken Flying Sword from the ground, Lin Jing started rummaging through the man in blacks corpse. It didnt take long for a Storage Bag to come into view.
Good thing the Storage Bag is intact.
Having said that, Lin Jing picked the Storage Bag off the corpse, then reached out to catch it and put it away.
With such a commotion having taken place here, it wont be long before someone comes to investigate. If discovered, he would be in a lot of trouble.
Considering this, Lin Jing applied a Godspeed Talisman and an Invisibility Talisman to himself, then looked around, finding no other people nearby. Empowered by the Godspeed Talisman, Lin Jing swiftly left the area.
