310: Chapter 310 Melee

"What a coincidence, this item is also of great use to us."

Yan Jingtong looked at the people from the Shangji Sect and spoke.

Although the opponent's strength on the surface was stronger than theirs, they wouldn't necessarily lose.

For a High Grade due pill, they were willing to take a risk.

A High Grade due pill could increase their Breakthrough success rate by thirty percent.

"I'll leave them to you."

Huang Zhang then said to the four people beside him.

As his voice fell, Huang Zhang took the initiative to rush toward the taiyin soul condensation.

He leapt up into the air,

reaching out to grab the taiyin soul condensation.

Seeing this, two flying daggers appeared in Rong Xiu's hands, and he threw them to attack Huang Zhang.

However, a person appeared in the path of the daggers, raising a blade to strike one down.

The other dagger actively avoided this person under Rong Xiu's control, changing its path to slash at Huang Zhang.

"Boom..."

A flare of fire ignited, swallowing the flying dagger within and stopping it.

At that moment, the ground began to vibrate as earthen spikes rose from the earth, targeting the members of the Shangji Sect.

Since they had chosen to act, they had to be decisive.

This made Yan Jingtong regretful; had he known they would clash so soon, there would have been no need to help them earlier.

Yan Jingtong had expected their two sides to clash, but he thought it would be after they had jointly dealt with the demonic cultivators and those outside their two groups.

He hadn't expected the fight to start here.

However, regret was useless; since a fight was called for, they would fight.

Facing Yan Jingtong's attack, the four people immediately dispersed.

"People of Yuanxu Mountain, you had better stay here."

Gu Wan said coldly.

Yin Qi Transformation Blade.

A blast of Yin Qi was struck out from her hand.

This Yin Qi immediately transformed into several blades, slashing toward Lin Ming and the others.

As for the people from Yuanxu Mountain, they originally intended to eliminate all of them during this trip.

Or rather, of everyone entering the treasury this time, except for Su Lianxue of Yuanxu Mountain—who was to be taken alive—

the rest had no need to remain living.

They were not worthy of laying a finger on the things here.

"Bang..."

Ding Yi stepped forward several paces, blocking the multiple Yin blades.

Immediately after, he took the initiative to attack Gu Wan, a heavy aura radiating from his body.

Yan Jingtong and Rong Xiu likewise engaged the people of the Shangji Sect.

Rong Xiu actually wanted to take on two opponents at once to let Lin Ming and Su Lianxue compete for the taiyin soul condensation.

Although the two's Realms were inferior to theirs, as Disciples of Master Yun Hua, the fact that the Old Ancestor let them enter meant they must have some tricks up their sleeves.

It was precisely because of this that the three of them had stepped in to help under the temptation of the High Grade due pill.

But Rong Xiu had somewhat underestimated his opponent.

"Rong Xiu, after not seeing you for a few years, you haven't made any progress at all."

Xue Jinyu said with a slightly mocking tone.

Elemental power transformed into a shield; a gold-red Blazing Sun Protective Aura blasted out from his hand.

...

"Junior Sister, can you handle this person?"

Lin Ming said as he looked at the Shangji Sect member who had already locked onto the two of them.

He didn't actually think his Junior Sister would be a match for this person.

After all, with one at the First Heaven of the Spirit Treasury and the other at the Spirit Storage Ninth Heaven, there was a significant gap between the two sides.

Even though his Junior Sister was not simple and likely possessed significant opportunities,

Lin Ming didn't believe Su Lianxue could cross eight minor Realms to face an enemy.

However, with the help of external forces, it would be a different story.

Before entering the treasury, their Revered Master had given Su Lianxue many means to resist enemies and even save her life; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Su Lianxue was armed to the teeth.

Besides their Revered Master, Lin Ming had also prepared some extra things for Su Lianxue.

Against a cultivator at the Spirit Storage Ninth Heaven, she probably couldn't kill him, but dealing with him shouldn't be a big problem.

"No problem."

Su Lianxue smiled.

She actually wanted to exchange blows with these cultivators at the Peak of the Spirit Treasury.

In an instant, Lin Ming's gaze turned toward Huang Zhang.

With a shift of his feet, he quickly moved toward Huang Zhang.

Seeing this, Chen Xian certainly couldn't let Lin Ming's plan succeed.

Sword out.

Lin Ming directly unsheathed his sword.

The Fourth-level Sword Intent, carrying a sharp Sword Qi, slashed out.

Chen Xian's expression changed.

He took a step back, avoiding the Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi struck directly into the wall, wantonly devastating the area to an unknown depth.

"Your opponent is me now."

Su Lianxue walked in front of Chen Xian and said with a face full of coldness.

"Since you've delivered yourself to me, I'll dispose of you."

Chen Xian's gaze fixed on Su Lianxue; this was the person the Sect's Old Ancestor had specifically requested.

If he captured her and handed her over to the Sect, he would receive a handsome reward.

His resources for reaching the Bitter Sea Realm were right there on her body.

As for Lin Ming's side, Chen Xian wasn't worried at all.

Just a mid-stage Spirit Treasury cultivator!

Challenging across Realms?

Chen Xian believed Lin Ming could indeed challenge those above his level.

But those he challenged were merely trash, including that Lin You.

Senior Brother Huang Zhang was not someone those trash could compare to.

Thinking of this, Chen Xian's attention turned to Su Lianxue, and without any hesitation, he reached out to grab her.

Looking at the approaching Chen Xian, Su Lianxue moved her feet, and a special pattern suddenly unfolded.

On the other side, Huang Zhang was already getting closer and closer to the taiyin soul condensation.

As he approached the taiyin soul condensation, he clearly sensed a chill—a chill targeting both the physical body and the Divine Soul.

It caused his movements to visibly slow down.

Huang Zhang himself noticed this.

But he also had another feeling: desire, a craving for the taiyin soul condensation.

He even had the thought of hogging the taiyin soul condensation for himself.

It was at this moment that Lin Ming's figure appeared.

Because Huang Zhang was affected by the taiyin soul condensation, his reactions were sluggish, and he was a few seconds late to notice Lin Ming's appearance.

Seeing Lin Ming appear, Huang Zhang temporarily shifted his attention from the taiyin soul condensation to Lin Ming.

A sword strike.

A scorching aura covered the sword.

The sword slashed straight down.

The scorching aura was like a flood dragon, lunging to swallow Lin Ming.

"Ssss..."

Lin Ming naturally used the sword in his hand to meet this 'flood dragon.'

With one strike,

he directly extinguished the dragon.

Then, his figure suddenly accelerated.

Walking on air,

he briefly stayed aloft with the grace of a swimming dragon, arriving before the taiyin soul condensation in a few strides.

Lin Ming sensed the extreme cold emitted by the taiyin soul condensation, which could affect a living being's physical body and Divine Soul.

But it had no effect on Lin Ming at all.
