Chapter 13

In a life-or-death battle, one must also sign a life-or-death contract. However, unlike a regular duel, it is certain that one person will die in the end, even if they surrender, it won't make a difference.

After the two signed the contract, they walked to the center of the cave.

Ma Gaofeng was still the judge. This time, his cloudy eyes swept over the two of them, and without saying any more rules, he directly said, "Life-or-death battle, it ends when one dies. You can start right away!"

After he said "start," Li Chang waved his hand, and a one-foot-long pair of scissors was thrown out. Then, with a flick of his finger, the scissors flew toward Lin Haoming.

Seeing his light and easy movements, it was clear that the scissors were already a magical artifact he had refined, making them more adept than the flying knives Guo Xin used before. Moreover, this pair of scissors was a mid-grade magical artifact.

Lin Haoming, who was well-prepared, had already tapped his storage bag when the scissors flew over, and a turtle shell shield appeared, blocking in front of him.

The scissors collided with the turtle shell shield, and a clear sound was heard, followed by the scissors being deflected.

"Mid-grade defensive magical artifact!"

"This guy is really well-off!"

Seeing that Lin Haoming had quite a few items, the overseers were all shocked, and even Situ Ping and Zhou Zhiye were surprised by Lin Haoming's wealth.

However, they didn't have too many doubts, assuming that Lin Haoming still had some things left by the old ancestor. In their minds, they were already thinking about how to get rid of this kid and take everything he had.

Li Chang was also surprised to see that Lin Haoming had a mid-grade defensive magical artifact. He thought to himself, "No wonder this kid dared to have a life-or-death battle with me. He still has this trick up his sleeve, but my flying scissors aren't that simple!"

Li Chang's two attacks were both blocked by the turtle shell shield. On the third attack, he suddenly pointed at the flying scissors, and they split into two, transforming from one pair of scissors into two flying knives, each shooting toward Lin Haoming from different directions.

Li Chang watched the flying scissors attack and sneered, waiting to see how Lin Haoming would defend.

However, when one of the flying scissors was blocked by the turtle shell shield, the other half of the flying scissors, which was about to pierce Lin Haoming, was also blocked by a flash of blue light. At that moment, he realized that the blue light was actually a flying sword, and it was also a mid-grade magical artifact.

"Where did this kid get so many magical artifacts?"

Li Chang felt a bit uneasy after seeing this, but then he thought that his cultivation was higher than the other's. Lin Haoming had to control two magical artifacts, which would consume a lot of mana. So, he immediately stopped attacking and pointed at the flying scissors, which recombined and floated in front of him.

Seeing this, Lin Haoming immediately put away the turtle shell shield and pointed at the flying sword, which instantly turned into a blue light and slashed down at Li Chang.

Seeing this, Li Chang also pointed at the flying scissors, and the scissors opened, directly clamping the flying sword when the blue light slashed down.

Seeing his scissors clamp the flying sword, Li Chang was overjoyed and called out, "Lin Haoming, watch me take your magical artifact!"

As he laughed, Lin Haoming cast a spell on the mother and son swords, and everyone saw the clamped mother and son swords suddenly shine with blue light, followed by a blue beam shooting out from the flying sword.

Li Chang was no more than three zhang away from the flying sword. The sudden blue beam left him no time to react, and it pierced through his chest. Soon after, he fell to the ground with a thud, unable to believe that he was dead.

Li Chang didn't even know how he died, but Situ Ping and Zhou Zhiye understood clearly. They knew that Lin Haoming's flying sword was definitely a high-quality mid-grade magical artifact, something that even some poorer inner disciples didn't have. Now, the two of them were completely set on getting Lin Haoming.

At this moment, Lin Haoming felt no joy from his victory.

This wasn't because he felt uncomfortable about killing someone. After his first experience of killing, Lin Haoming had already adapted to this feeling, let alone the fact that Li Chang was trying to kill him.

What made Lin Haoming unhappy was that he knew he had revealed too much wealth, and Situ Ping would probably not let him off.

Since that was the case, Lin Haoming first collected the scissors magical artifact, then took the hundred spirit stones. This time, he didn't directly give them to Situ Ping but smiled and said, "Senior Brother Situ, I will personally visit you later."

Situ Ping, seeing Lin Haoming's smiling face, couldn't force him to hand over the items in public, otherwise, he would have no way to stand his ground, and his subordinates might even go to Zhou Zhiye. So, he could only smile and say, "Alright, I'll wait for you!"

Seeing Situ Ping agree, Lin Haoming knew that his smile was definitely fake. He couldn't stay in the Blood Cultivation Sect anymore and had to leave to survive.

However, leaving the Blood Cultivation Sect, although he had the merit bead, he also knew that relying solely on absorbing spirit energy to reach the Foundation Establishment stage was a pipe dream. With his talent, he would definitely need Foundation Establishment pills, and not just one or two. Outside, even if he had the means to buy Foundation Establishment pills, in a situation with no support, he would likely be targeted, and the danger would be far greater than staying in the Blood Cultivation Sect. So, if it weren't for the current situation, he really didn't want to leave.

Now, whether it was Zhou Zhiye or Situ Ping, they couldn't just kill him without reason, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain it to their subordinates.

Lin Haoming pretended to distribute the monthly salary, then immediately left. Since all the important things were in his storage bag, there was no need to return to his cave.

Leaving the Floating Pagoda Cave, Lin Haoming didn't directly flee to the sect's entrance but went to the market first.

He still had some spirit stones, and the best way for him was to exchange all the spirit stones for pills. This would at least ensure he could reach the peak of the Qi Condensation stage in the shortest time. After all, the more strength he had, the more hope he had of surviving. Outside, even if he had spirit stones, he might not be able to buy so many pills without being targeted.

He went to the stone cave where Wang Chen was. Upon entering, he found a Qi Condensation Fourth Stage disciple watching the shop.

Lin Haoming directly asked, "Where is Senior Brother Wang?"

The disciple pointed inside and said, "Senior Brother is doing business!"

Hearing this, Lin Haoming felt a bit anxious, not knowing how long Wang Chen would be. Just then, Wang Chen came out with another robust man, but his face wasn't too good.

The man bowed to Wang Chen and said, "Senior Brother Wang, I'm really sorry. If you had told me two months ago, I would have definitely taken over your shop. I can only apologize now!"

After saying that, the man glanced at Lin Haoming and then left.
