Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 140 – Two women are competing

Seeing the attributes of these demonic cultivators, Lin Jichen felt much more at ease.

He had thought it would be like the Blood Infant Secret Realm in Forget Worries Village, where the strength differed from his memories.

But now it seemed the strength of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was just average.

With one sword strike, many disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect were instantly killed.

With him leading the charge, the players behind him immediately surged forward.

Looking at these disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was like seeing walking battle merits and prestige points; they roared and charged forward.

A great battle ensued.

Lin Jichen didn't make another move; these ordinary disciples didn't require his attention.

Just in terms of numbers, the player faction could easily crush them.

He released Panda Xiong, instructing it to follow Ren Lan to ensure her safety.

After all, Ren Lan was only in the later stage of Qi Refining. If she encountered someone with a much higher realm, she might be in trouble.

Over on Ren Lan's side, she had already become the brightest star among the Moon Shadow Guild crowd.

Ren Lan's potential as a top fighter was becoming undeniable.

Although she was only in the later stage of Qi Refining, the ordinary disciples of the Poison Sect were no match for her. A few casual punches could instantly kill one.

She could even render Foundation Establishment disciples of the Poison Sect helpless, her damage surpassing that of the Moon Shadow Guild's Foundation Establishment body cultivators.

"President, look at that girl. She's not from our Moon Shadow, but she's incredibly strong. Should I try to recruit her?" Su Wanling said to Jiang Luoyu.

She remembered Jiang Luoyu's instructions to keep an eye out for promising talents, whether they had potential or skill, and to recruit them into Moon Shadow.

This Ren Lan was impeccable in both potential and skill, so Su Wanling naturally wanted to recruit her.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Luoyu rejected her suggestion.

"No need to recruit her."

"Huh? Why? Even though her cultivation is a bit low, her damage is higher than that of Foundation Establishment players. And look at her combat skills. She's a great talent. Shouldn't we recruit her?" Su Wanling was still confused.

Jiang Luoyu remained firm, "Yes, don't recruit her. Anyone else is fine, but not her."

"Alright, I'll go look for other talents then."

Though Su Wanling was puzzled, she had to comply and went off to scout for other talents.

Jiang Luoyu glanced in Ren Lan's direction, noticing a Panda Xiong fighting alongside her.

Her lips tightened, and her expression turned a bit sour.

How could Jiang Luoyu not recognize whose pet this Iron-Eating Beast was?

Even while commanding, Lin Jichen hadn't forgotten to let his beloved pet protect this girl. It seemed their relationship was indeed special.

"I'm Little Lin's senior and roommate."

These words echoed in Jiang Luoyu's mind.

Roommate? Are they living together?

Thinking of this, Jiang Luoyu felt a pang in her heart. Seeing the large group of Poison Sect disciples in front of Ren Lan, she couldn't help but raise her staff and cast a skill.

Instantly, a large number of Poison Sect disciples were killed.

"Damn! Who's stealing my kills?" Ren Lan turned her head in displeasure, only to see Jiang Luoyu standing there, her neck arched like a swan, ignoring her gaze.

Ren Lan knew Jiang Luoyu did it on purpose. With her competitive nature, how could she let it slide?

"Hmph! Let's see who can outdo whom!"

"Explosive Punch!"

Ren Lan charged back into the battlefield, her delicate voice shouting as a heavy punch knocked down a large group of Poison Sect disciples.

Afterward, she couldn't help but throw a provocative smile at Jiang Luoyu, saying sarcastically, "Wow, these Storm Gauntlets are really useful! No wonder Little Lin gave them to me!"

Jiang Luoyu's face changed, and she raised her staff to cast Falling Rock Rain, killing another group of Poison Sect disciples.

Then she walked over to Ren Lan, holding her staff oddly, and said, "This Night Cave Staff was given to me by Little Chen. He defeated the Night Cavern Ghost King and gifted me this staff. It's even Mysterious Grade, with excellent attributes."

Ren Lan was infuriated, turning back to unleash a fiery punch, the flames scorching the air and exploding among the Poison Sect disciples.

"Ah! This 'Fire Punch' is really handy, also a gift from Little Lin."

Now, the two were completely at odds, their eyes sparking with electricity.

They both huffed and turned away, ignoring each other.

Then they took out their frustration on the Poison Sect disciples, competing to see who could kill more.

Although Jiang Luoyu had higher cultivation and was a spell cultivator, making it easy for her to outpace Ren Lan in kills,

Ren Lan had the help of the Iron-Eating Beast, making her kill rate extremely fast as well.

Thus, the two silently competed, clearing out the Poison Sect disciples in front of them.

Lin Jichen was completely unaware of all this.

At this moment, reinforcements from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect arrived. A large group of disciples flew in, hovering above the players, each holding a gourd.

They began to pour poison powder down below.

"Forbidden flight skill! Throw it now!" Lin Jichen shouted to the hundred healer players who had learned the forbidden flight skill.

Immediately, the poison-pouring disciples were forced to the ground one by one, then surrounded and attacked by the players, their screams filling the air.

Some tried to escape, but Lin Jichen flew after them, cutting them down one by one with his sword.

Good news came from other mountain gates as well. The ordinary Poison Sect disciples couldn't withstand the million-strong player army and were quickly wiped out. The situation was looking very favorable.

Before long, the various mountain gate positions were cleared.

Lin Jichen then commanded the advance up the mountain.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered a large number of Poison Sect disciples waiting in the grand hall plazas.

[Demonic Cultivator: Elite Disciple]

[Sect: Ten Thousand Poison Sect]

[Cultivation: Early Foundation Establishment ~ Mid Foundation Establishment]

[Vitality: 6000 ~ 8000]

[Strength: 60 ~ 90]

[Defense: 50 ~ 65]

[Speed: 55 ~ 70]

Seeing the attributes of these disciples, Lin Jichen knew the real challenge had arrived.

The players, unaware, thought these disciples were as easy as the ones at the mountain gate and charged forward without waiting for Lin Jichen's command.

As soon as they engaged with these Poison Sect disciples, they realized something was wrong.

"Damn! These guys have high defense, I can't break through."

"Help! Help!"

"Mom, these disciples are all in the Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm only in the Qi Refining Realm..."

"Hiss! One hit took half my health, I can't hold on!"

...

Many players suffered heavy losses as soon as they engaged, and some became the victims of the elite disciples due to their carelessness.

Moreover, these elite disciples were not like the ordinary ones, who fought individually like headless chickens.

The elite Poison Sect disciples were not only strong but also knew how to cooperate and form arrays.

Though they were fewer in number compared to the ordinary disciples, their coordinated combat power was more than ten times that of the ordinary Poison Sect disciples!

Players began to suffer significant casualties and chaos ensued.

Lin Jichen stepped forward again to stabilize the morale.

"Don't panic, all guild leaders, adjust your teams' formations. Body cultivators to the front, artifact cultivators follow up with attacks, healers provide healing, spell cultivators cast skills. Anyone with less than a third of their health should retreat to the back to recover and protect the rear spell cultivators."

The guild leaders quickly began to organize their formations. With Lin Jichen's guidance, the players soon formed up, and the situation stabilized immediately.
