Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 146 – The strongest female monk

At that moment, another group of people climbed up the mountain, joining the team against the red-haired elder.

Among them were a few familiar faces to Lin Jichen. One was Chen Yuan, the Sword God from his previous life, and another was a burly man wielding a blade, Dang Jinchuan, the top blade cultivator from the Tale of Immortal.

There was also a woman in red. Lin Jichen took a closer look and recognized her immediately.

She was Chu Hongling, the top Buddhist cultivator from his previous life!

A renowned figure from the past.

You heard it right, this woman was a Buddhist cultivator, the strongest female monk.

In his previous life, Lin Jichen owed Chu Hongling a small favor.

At that time, he was farming for a very important spiritual treasure in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Just after he got it, he was ambushed, and they tried to make him drop the treasure.

The Tale of Immortal had a brutal mechanism: any item above Earth Grade had a 100% drop rate within seven days if you were killed.

In other words, if someone killed you within seven days, the item would definitely drop.

You couldn't hide, auction, or trade it.

Moreover, the item's location would be revealed every day, and you couldn't return to your sect or city.

That group of people was about to kill Lin Jichen and take the treasure.

Lin Jichen was nearly killed, but fortunately, Chu Hongling happened to pass by and saved him.

She didn't take advantage of the situation but left gracefully.

Afterward, Lin Jichen wanted to thank her, but he never saw her again.

He didn't expect to run into her so soon in this life.

However, they didn't seem to notice Lin Jichen on the other side, all focused on dealing with the red-haired elder.

With these three experts joining in, the small guild had no role to play.

Chu Hongling used a few mantra skills to firmly lock the elder's aggro, then activated her Golden Bell Shield to withstand the attacks.

Although it was tough, she had healers supporting her, so she managed to hold on.

Chen Yuan and Dang Jinchuan began their frenzied assault on the elder.

However, due to the difference in cultivation, their attacks couldn't break through the elder's defense, so they kept targeting weak points and using skills.

Seeing that they intended to monopolize the elder's battle merits, Ren Lan became anxious.

"Little Lin, what should we do? Let's join the fight quickly! Your damage is much higher than theirs; we can definitely grab a lot of battle merits."

Lin Jichen was about to nod when the red-haired elder suddenly roared, "Senior Brother, help me!"

Immediately, a green-haired elder flew out from the hall, joining their ranks!

The addition of the green-haired elder made Chen Yuan and the others' faces change drastically.

Chu Hongling was struck and sent flying, landing heavily and losing half her health.

Chen Yuan and Dang Jinchuan were also on high alert, their faces ashen.

[Demonic Cultivator: Grand Elder]

[Sect: Ten Thousand Poison Sect]

[Cultivation: Later Stage of Crystal Formation]

[Vitality: /]

[Strength: 255]

[Defense: 210]

[Speed: 230]

This green-haired elder's attributes were significantly higher than the red-haired one.

"It seems we can't handle these two elders. The temporary alliance is over, goodbye."

Dang Jinchuan, ever the pragmatist, decided to run, not caring about the others.

The others also knew they couldn't win and prepared to retreat.

At that moment, Lin Jichen and his two companions arrived.

"You guys continue dealing with the red-haired one; the three of us will handle the green-haired one," Lin Jichen said calmly.

Everyone was slightly surprised to see Lin Jichen, thinking he might blame them for abandoning their posts. Hearing his words, they felt relieved.

"Can you three handle it? This green-haired elder is stronger than the red-haired one," Dang Jinchuan asked skeptically.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't think you can handle it, just leave," Lin Jichen replied coldly.

Although he didn't know Dang Jinchuan personally, he had heard of him—an extremely arrogant and selfish person, only caring about his own interests.

He had joined many guilds, always jumping ship for better rewards, regardless of friendships.

So Lin Jichen had no good impression of him.

"You..." Dang Jinchuan was furious but stopped himself, seeing the look in Lin Jichen's eyes and realizing he was no match for him in either strength or authority.

He couldn't afford to anger Lin Jichen now.

"Haha, since Master Lin is confident, I will certainly help," Dang Jinchuan said, returning to the team.

Lin Jichen wasted no time, unleashing a Frost Moon Slash at the green-haired elder, then immediately turned and ran.

The green-haired elder's aggro shifted to Lin Jichen, who chased after him.

With Lin Jichen drawing away the green-haired elder, the pressure on the group lessened significantly.

"Chu, beautiful lady, hurry up and attack. The alliance continues," Dang Jinchuan urged.

Chu Hongling returned to the team, her naturally seductive eyes glancing disdainfully at him before looking thoughtfully in Lin Jichen's direction.

Lin Jichen had already led the green-haired elder to Ren Lan and Jiang Luoyu.

"The three of us plus a panda should be able to handle this guy, right?"

"Don't worry, I'll smash this green-haired freak's head!" Ren Lan said, stepping forward and delivering a piercing punch to the elder.

Seeing the aggro still on Lin Jichen, she followed up with an Explosive Punch, successfully drawing the aggro.

But this elder was much tougher than the previous one.

The green-haired elder was also a fist cultivator. A single punch sent Ren Lan flying several meters, taking away two-thirds of her health. She quickly got up and took a potion.

Lin Jichen knew Ren Lan was struggling; she was only at the later stage of Qi Refining, taking hits from a later stage Crystal Formation cultivator.

Not being instantly killed was already impressive.

In this situation, Ren Lan couldn't handle the damage alone.

Lin Jichen stepped forward, slashing several times to draw the aggro back.

Jiang Luoyu immediately added damage, with Panda Xiong assisting.

Ren Lan, not wanting to show off, obediently joined Lin Jichen in fighting the elder.

With Lin Jichen taking on seventy percent of the damage and tanking, the three of them plus the panda managed without much difficulty.

The green-haired elder's health was rapidly decreasing, even faster than the red-haired elder's.

The others couldn't break through the defense and had to keep finding weak points and using skills.

But Lin Jichen was different; his regular sword strikes could break through the defense, dealing five to six hundred damage per hit.

Of course, the elder's attacks hurt him more, as Lin Jichen's defense was only around 170.

But Lin Jichen's combat talent was extraordinary, with unmatched movement techniques and skills.

The green-haired elder was being beaten badly, roaring in anger, but could only watch his health plummet.

Just as his health dropped to half, and everyone thought they had it under control, a sudden change occurred!

A shadow almost teleported in front of them from the mountain's main hall.

It was a skeletal old man, his face twisted and fierce, exuding a terrifying aura!

Lin Jichen thought to himself, "This is bad, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect has appeared!"
