Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 142 – Really not going to dig her?

The pudgy elder hastily activated his spiritual power, enveloping himself in a shield of spiritual energy.

The Sword Qi struck the shield and was neutralized.

Lin Jichen wasn't surprised at all. This was a specialty of Crystal Realm cultivators, who could transform their mana into protective shields, something Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators couldn't do.

However, the spiritual energy shield of the Crystal Realm could only passively endure attacks. It wasn't until the Golden Elixir stage that it could be freely contracted, serving both offensive and defensive purposes.

Knowing that his opponent had a spiritual energy shield, Lin Jichen didn't stop his assault. Sword after sword struck the shield.

"Shorty, you're such a coward. Already playing turtle? That shield really looks like a turtle shell, suits you perfectly. Short guy, short shield, like a gourd..."

While depleting the opponent's spiritual energy shield, Lin Jichen silently stacked the passive effects of his Gale Sword Technique.

He didn't forget to taunt in the process.

The pudgy elder was fuming with rage, finally unable to hold back. He withdrew the shield and charged at Lin Jichen like a wild beast!

"Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm!"

The pudgy elder was a palm technique cultivator. This palm strike was as crisp as thunder, and blood energy surged!

The air seemed to be sucked out, and a massive blood-colored palm print, exuding a toxic aura, slammed towards Lin Jichen!

The pudgy elder didn't know that Lin Jichen didn't dodge this time. Instead, he suddenly dashed forward!

His figure passed through the blood palm, appearing abruptly in front of the elder.

The pudgy elder's divine soul trembled, his vision darkened, and a black sword light, like a black lightning bolt, pierced straight towards his heart!

Wind Thunder Sword!

[Critical Hit! -3040!]

The pudgy elder didn't have time to cry out in pain. He roared and struck with his palm!

Knowing he had suffered a loss, he wanted to make Lin Jichen pay as well.

But to his surprise, Lin Jichen's speed suddenly increased dramatically. After delivering the sword strike, he retreated at light speed.

Just as the elder thought Lin Jichen had really retreated and looked down to check his injury, Lin Jichen, like a ghostly shadow, returned in a flash, appearing right in front of him again.

This time, the pudgy elder was caught off guard, and his throat was slashed by the Dark Night Sword!

Another shocking damage number popped up.

[Throat Slash! -1640!]

[Triggered Secondary Damage! -820!]

[Poison Sword Qi! -150!]

[Bleeding x3! -120 (9 seconds)!]

Ah!

The pudgy elder went mad with rage, raising his palm again, but... Lin Jichen had already slipped away!

This time, he didn't dare to be careless, not even having the courage to look down.

He hadn't even touched Lin Jichen, yet his body was already covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

Lin Jichen pretended to advance again, and the pudgy elder, like a startled bird, hastily summoned his mana shield.

Lin Jichen wasn't in a hurry. Right in front of the elder, he began to charge his Stun Sword Qi.

If the elder didn't retract his shield, Lin Jichen wouldn't strike, continuously charging up.

The pudgy elder saw Lin Jichen poised to strike but had no choice but to maintain his mana shield.

However, the mana shield consumed a lot of mana. Coupled with the previous hits from Lin Jichen, the shield's consumption was enormous.

If this continued, his mana would soon be depleted.

The players below watched in disbelief as Lin Jichen single-handedly fought a mid-Crystal Realm elder.

The opponent was mid-Crystal Realm, while Lin Jichen was mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

There was a whole realm difference between them, yet Lin Jichen was handling it with ease, making the elder look so pathetic.

Is this guy a monster...

On the other side, the Moon Shadow Guild was also under attack by a mid-Crystal Realm elder.

A mid-Crystal Realm elder was even stronger than the Corpse King of Corpse King Valley.

Without Lin Jichen, many girl players were falling under the elder's attacks.

Especially the Qi Refining Realm girls, who couldn't last a single round and were instantly killed.

"Body cultivators, hold the front! Healers, provide support! Everyone else, use your skills!"

Jiang Luoyu noticed Lin Jichen was being held up by a mid-Crystal Realm elder and couldn't come to their aid. She had to command the members to hold off the elder.

Seeing Ren Lan charging forward, she quickly called out to her.

"What are you doing? You're only at Qi Refining Realm. Get to the back. You'll just get yourself killed."

Ren Lan turned her head arrogantly, confident, "Others might die, but I won't go down that easily. Don't underestimate me."

"Now's not the time to show off."

"Watch closely. Today, I'll make you acknowledge me."

With that, Ren Lan rushed forward even faster, joining the other Foundation Establishment body cultivators at the front.

The other Qi Refining body cultivators had already retreated to the back, unable to withstand the attacks and would only be throwing their lives away.

At the front, only Foundation Establishment cultivators remained, with Ren Lan, a Qi Refining cultivator, standing out.

Ren Lan activated her muscle and bone resonance, letting out a delicate shout, her speed increasing dramatically.

At this moment, the Crystal Realm elder was happily throwing skills, slaughtering the weak female cultivators.

Just then, a flaming punch landed squarely on his face.

[Fire Punch! Critical Hit! -1000!]

Before the punch's force dissipated, another damage number appeared!

[Explosive Punch! Critical Hit! -1400!]

[Triggered Internal Injury effect, lasts 10 seconds!]

With two punches, Ren Lan forcibly interrupted the Crystal Realm elder's rampant slaughter.

Not giving him a chance to breathe, Ren Lan unleashed another martial arts technique.

[Piercing Punch! Critical Hit! -900!]

This series of skills left the Crystal Realm elder a bit dizzy.

The other female players were also in disbelief.

How could a Qi Refining body cultivator like Ren Lan deal such high damage?

But the next second, she became the target of the Crystal Realm elder's angry 'attention.'

"Poison Demon Finger!"

Ren Lan reacted swiftly, dodging immediately.

But a gust of finger wind still pierced through her arm.

[-1800!]

Everyone was stunned!

Not because the damage was too high, but because it was too low!

How could it be so low?

A Crystal Realm elder attacking a Qi Refining cultivator, using a skill, only dealt 1800 damage?

They couldn't understand.

Even Jiang Luoyu's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Stop gawking, heal her!"

Despite her surprise, Jiang Luoyu quickly commanded the healers to heal Ren Lan.

After her health was restored, Ren Lan, like an indomitable cockroach, continued her assault on the Crystal Realm elder!

When her skills were on cooldown and her normal attacks couldn't break through the defense, she focused on exploiting the elder's weak points.

She also did her best to dodge the elder's attacks, evading whenever possible.

If she couldn't dodge, she took the hit, with healers behind her providing support.

Additionally, an Iron-Eating Beast beside her helped absorb some of the damage and aggro.

In this way, Ren Lan managed to hold off the Crystal Realm elder!

Although the healers played a part, it was still a small miracle for a Qi Refining cultivator to hold off a Crystal Realm elder.

If someone in the Moon Shadow Guild could hold off the Corpse King's attacks like Ren Lan, they could clear the dungeon.

But no one could withstand it, not even the Foundation Establishment body cultivators, making Corpse King Valley so challenging.

"Damn, this girl is fierce! President, are you sure you don't want to recruit her?" Su Wanling couldn't help but ask again.

But the answer was still no!

Even Jiang Luoyu, seeing Ren Lan's impressive performance, was unwilling to be outdone and started throwing skills at the Poison Sect elder, dealing much higher damage than Ren Lan.

Others also took advantage of Ren Lan's distraction, bombarding the Poison Sect elder with skills.

Even the elite disciples were healing their elder, but the players, using their numbers, kept lowering the Poison Sect elder's health.
