"A vow of the heart?"
Everyone else present was taken aback.
They initially thought that Lin Jinglong was just playing along with Li Yuangang, each of them scheming against each other.
But if one makes a vow of faith.
Then there's no room for calculation.
After all, this is an oath made with one's own soul!
If one lies, the backlash from Heaven would be unbearable even for an Emperor-level being; it would be absolutely fatal.
But Lin Jinglong nodded directly after hearing this.
"Very well, let's swear an oath to each other: you hand over the Pure Void Talisman, and I'll spare your life."
Lin Jinglong's words made Li Yuangang's eyes light up.
The old man's eyes flickered, and he looked deeply at Lin Jinglong, his tone becoming somewhat gentler.
"I've really messed up this time. Let's see each other again in the future after this matter is over!"
He and Lin Jinglong each took an oath.
They all seemed quite satisfied.
He didn't realize that Lin Jinglong had already crushed a Hundred Ghosts Summoning Talisman, affecting the minds of everyone present.
Who can tell the difference between real and fake?
After swearing the oath, Li Yuangang gave a location.
It is actually located on Qinglian Peak, only a hundred feet away from the ruins, in a cave on the back mountain.
"We arrived in a hurry, so the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you search the area, you can actually find it. You won't regret it after knowing the location, right?"
Li Yuangang said with a smug smile.
Lin Jinglong shrugged, appearing remarkably calm.
Li Yuangang frowned slightly at this. For some reason, when he met Lin Jinglong's gaze, he always felt that the guy was behaving strangely.
But in any case, the solemn oath has been made.
As long as Lin Jinglong didn't want to die together with him, he couldn't lie. No one else present could bypass Lin Jinglong to kill Li Yuangang.
In just a few breaths, the talisman was retrieved.
Xin Xiao returned with the talisman and handed it to Lin Jinglong.
He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Are we really going to let him go like this?"
What are you thinking about?
Lin Jinglong smiled slightly.
"The oath has been made, how can it be taken back?"
"Forget it, I'll get my hands on him sooner or later."
Xin Xiao glanced at Qi Fengyun as he spoke.
This strongest prodigy of Tianji Martial Academy over the years was extremely unwilling at this moment, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails had already dug into his flesh.
After all, those thirty-odd lives were lost.
They were all killed by Li Yuangang under his leadership.
"It's my fault for being incompetent..."
Qi Fengyun sighed.
Li Yuangang grinned, revealing his large yellow teeth.
"Now that you have obtained the talisman, I should be going. Farewell!"
The old man turned and strode away.
He wasn't particularly happy or angry. Although he hadn't managed to snatch the talisman, at least he had saved his life.
Keep in mind that he was facing several ninth-tier combatants from the Elder Council and over three hundred life-level experts as a lone wolf!
Such a record is something others can be proud of for a lifetime!
But in the next moment...
Li Yuangang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked down at the blood-red blade that had pierced through his chest.
That's Lin Jinglong's Dragon Roar Blade!
At this moment, Lin Jinglong, holding the Dragon Roar Blade, pierced through Li Yuangang's back, leaving a gaping wound, and bright red blood dripped from the tip of the blade.
"You, you actually dare to breach the contract?"
"Who said I breached the contract?"
Lin Jinglong's cold voice came from behind him.
"You clearly made a vow!"
Li Yuangang felt his life force constantly slipping away.
His eyes were filled with despair and resentment.
In his view, Lin Jinglong wanted to die with him, but Lin Jinglong just smiled when he heard this.
“Fool, what you saw of the scene I swore to be was nothing but an illusion. What you saw was only what I wanted you to see.”
"An eighth-tier Soul-Calling Talisman in exchange for the life of a ninth-tier Martial Emperor is not a bad deal at all."
"Li Yuangang, you'll pay for this murder with your life. Goodbye!"
Lin Jinglong slowly turned the long sword in his hand.
It had already crushed Li Yuangang's heart, and the violent crimson flames were sweeping through his entire body, even burning his limbs and bones.
The extreme pain caused Li Yuangang to scream in agony!
"A mishap that capsized in the gutter!"
"Are you really determined to kill me?"
"Lin Jinglong, I'll haunt you even in death!"
Enraged, Li Yuangang let out a final roar.
Lin Jinglong stared expressionlessly at the old man's back, then fiercely pulled out the Dragon Roar Blade. A large hole appeared in the old man's back, and blood gushed out along with some fragments of internal organs.
"I won't be at peace until I kill you!"
Li Yuangang's mangled body lay stiffly on the ground.
Lin Jinglong held the knife, flicked off the blood, looked down at the unseeing corpse, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"You think you're the only one who knows how to use underhanded tricks?"
He felt extremely happy after killing Li Yuangang.
This guy is a venomous snake. If we let him go today, given Li Yuangang's personality, he will definitely hide in the shadows and continue to cause trouble for us.
Whether it's the next six days or after leaving Qingxu Cave, this is a threat.
This happened far too suddenly.
Even Jun Lintian and the two elders of Youming were caught off guard. When they saw that Li Yuangang was dead, Lin Jinglong had indeed not suffered any backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
They finally believed what Lin Jinglong had said.
"An illusion created by an eighth-tier Soul Summoning Talisman?"
