Chapter 205: Dance of The Legion
The next step usually required the cultivator to unite everything into one entity, and this is where this genius was stuck until the end of his lifespan.
However, he shared some insights and created the technique that allowed LinFang to freeze her lifespan.
In his words, if anyone could find a way to break through all the way to immortality, I am sure this would be the cure we are looking for.
The reason he said this was not just because of theory; this cultivator's life ended at 150 plus years, giving proof that this is really doable.
Many things then happened afterward before they finally decided to go to the extreme, choosing LinFang as their hope.
The main reason for this was because of how talented Lin Fan was; her progression and achievements far outweighed their best genius.
Looking at the clear sky, LinFan's eyes glistened with tears; deep down inside, she knew her parents had already left her, but she still didn't want to admit it.
"If only I could be born without talent."
But her expression quickly changed as her father saw movement in the distance from them.
Everything the puppet saw was transferred to her.
'These pests really never give up,' LinFan mumbled in his mind as he used the mechanism in his father's eyes to see even further away, giving her a very clear image even with one hundred times zoom.
'Twelve, twenty, fifteen, almost a hundred people; they are really going all out now.
But are they stupid, moving in such a large group like that in the forest? It's like telling us they are here. Or is that their purpose?'
She then started giving more attention to the most prominent figure in the group. Based on the formation, it's clear they are protecting the person in the middle of the group.
Right now, there are two people: a sharp young man and a middle-aged man. If MingYue had been here, she would have quickly recognized them as Yang Fei and Zhang.
At the front and the back of the group, two people were walking some distance away; based on their mannerisms and actions, Lin Fang concluded they were quite strong,
'if only we could find out their strength from view alone. Forget it, for now; I need to gather everyone and quickly make a plan; we cannot just let them keep walking like that.
It would be best if we can bait him somewhere far away from the village.'
An idea came to her mind. She remembered there was a strong monster deep in the forest; it was a Celestial-level beast.
The only reason they know about this creature is because their old genius had a fruitful encounter with it after rescuing one of her offspring.
She then started rethinking her idea; rather than riling up her people, it was better to do this herself. She started moving closer to the group.
Linfang tried to keep the maximum distance she could make before shooting an attack; her target was the man in the middle. But she didn't want to use her father and mother to do this since they would act as bait.
There is a real reason why she was chosen as their hope and why the main branch all sacrificed their lives. Linfang has many sub-spirits, so many that it's more than enough to make every single one of her family members in the main branch into her puppet.
It took a heavy toll on her now to do this since it's like splitting her mind into a hundred, controlling everything individually, so she only did it if she had no other choice.
She named her secret technique "Dance of the Legion."
Swish! Swish!
Many small needles shot through the air without creating any sound. But the moment they got close to the group, the Golden Core cultivators could feel it.
Both of them spread their aura, trying to knock it out, but unfortunately, they could not release their full strength; otherwise, it would wound the other cultivators, too.
"Move into formation!" one of the Golden Core cultivators ordered.
The group separated themselves into a circle, each looking in different directions. But their reaction was quite late; those with low-level cultivation were pierced with the needles; their faces quickly turned blue as foam came out of their mouths.
"Those fucking sneakers, quickly go after them. Fighting from a distance will be our weakness," one of the people in the group ordered.
"With us here, what do you think you are doing? Just stay with the young master," the other Golden Core cultivator said.
She was the cultivator who came to support them. She had long white hair and a face that looked like just a teenage girl. Her body moved seductively as she took a step forward, appearing above the air.
"Don't underestimate us."
The woman's qi started rising, creating a palpable heat around her; many spheres of light appeared around her body.
But it was not just any light; it was a fireball that looked like a miniature sun; thankfully, the heat didn't really reach the level of the sun; otherwise, the whole place would already have changed into scorched ground.
"Hey, stop that. Do you want to burn the whole area?" the other Golden cultivator said, looking at what had happened.
"Hmph, don't you know my specialty? I am not stupid," the woman replied, ignoring his suggestion.
SWOOSH! The ball of light shot through some areas of the forest.
LinFang quickly moved them to dodge the attack, but unfortunately, some still got hurt. The ball of light looked small, as big as a soccer ball, but the moment it hit the target, it exploded, creating a scorching heat in the area, pulverizing everything it passed by; the area of the explosion reached over 100 square meters (around 1000 square feet).
BOOM! BOOM!
Shockwaves exploded all around, showing LinFang's puppets. One of them that lost the ability to move quickly activated its self-destruct mechanism.
The attack from the woman created a scorching heat that melted everything, but weirdly, it didn't create any flick of flame, the same with the self-destruct mechanism of the puppet; it melted its own body like being melted by acid, leaving behind only a useless liquid.
