319: Chapter 319 Fifteen against seven, the advantage is mine

"You're the one who should go down."

Lin Ming said coldly.

Eight Forms of Thunder Strike.

It was by no means an ordinary spell art.

Lin Ming was well aware of this.

"You..."

The word was uttered, but not finished.

His Divine Soul dissipated under the devastation of the thunder.

Only a husk remained—a shell that looked intact on the outside, which fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Brother Jinyu, consider this as me avenging you."

Lin Ming said with a smile.

However, he only just realized that he shouldn't have dealt with Gou Lang so quickly.

He should have captured him first for a soul search.

But since he had slaughtered him, so be it; it wouldn't affect much.

"That's about enough."

...

"You..."

"What about 'you'?"

The Spirit Avatar looked bored.

The Divine Soul before him was the person who had wanted to possess him.

However, the moment it appeared, the Spirit Avatar had subdued it, leaving it with absolutely no power to resist.

The Spirit Avatar wasn't one to play the 'pig eating the tiger' trope; he simply suppressed the opponent's Divine Soul directly and dealt with it.

However, his next goal was already clear.

The Divine Soul crumbled; within the Spirit Avatar's hand, this soul completely dissipated.

...

"The people of the Inverse Demon Cult are indeed not simple."

Mu Qinglian looked at the Divine Soul before her that had attempted Possession, a naturally charming expression surfacing on her face.

After swallowing this Divine Soul, it would be of great help to her cultivation in the path of the soul; perhaps she could even break through her current shackles.

However, Mu Qinglian still felt a lingering fear regarding the clash just now.

If not for the methods the Pavilion Master had left on her, her body would likely have a different occupant by now.

This matter was far from over.

...

First Floor

Fifteen figures appeared here, all of whom were people who had completed their Possession.

They waited there, waiting quietly.

It was at this moment that the expression of one among them underwent a subtle change.

"Go."

That person walked toward the tall tower with a serious expression.

The others followed behind him.

...

"Yuanxu Mountain's Lin Ming and Su Lianxue, Shangji Sect's Huang Zhang, Blood Fiend Sect's Wang Feng, and these two Fellow Daoists are indeed extraordinary."

Mu Qinglian looked at the people present with a charming gaze.

There were seven people in total; including herself, seven had escaped Possession.

The rest had likely already met with foul play.

They were currently on the eighteenth floor, the penultimate floor of this tall tower.

All the way—

"If not for this old man, you would have died long ago. Now it is your turn to repay me. Give everything you have to me."

The voice said.

"Get the hell out of my body!"

Xue Jinyu roared.

And this roar of Xue Jinyu's was naturally heard by Lin Ming.

"So it wasn't thoroughly cleaned out."

Lin Ming understood as he watched the scene before him.

This fellow had resisted the Possession, but he presumably hadn't dealt with the opponent's Divine Soul completely, allowing it to hide within his body.

In Lin Ming's estimation, his previous sword strike should have been enough to kill Xue Jinyu.

But when that strike hit him, a power that didn't belong to Xue Jinyu appeared, neutralizing part of the strike's power and saving Xue Jinyu's life.

Looking at it now, that power must have belonged to the one trying to possess him.

"Get out, get away from me!"

Xue Jinyu roared.

His body was gradually falling out of his control, and his Divine Soul was being eroded by the other party.

How could Xue Jinyu tolerate such a thing? He was the favored genius of the Shangji Sect, destined to step into Nirvana and undergo Ascension to the Upper Realm.

How could he be possessed here by some outdated old fossil? This was something he absolutely could not accept or allow to happen.

Xue Jinyu also threw everything he had into resisting this Divine Soul.

Since he could defeat the opponent once, he could naturally defeat them twice.

However, this time was different.

Facing the opponent's erosion, Xue Jinyu could hardly muster any resistance.

"How can this be?"

Seeing this, Xue Jinyu found it somewhat hard to accept.

"Naive junior."

The person said indifferently.

As for this Disciple of the Shangji Sect, he had long expected him to have some preventive measures.

Just as he anticipated, Xue Jinyu did indeed have methods targeting the path of the soul.

The old man hadn't met Xue Jinyu head-on; instead, he feigned defeat, appearing to be destroyed while actually hiding within his body, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.

The clash with Lin Ming had provided him with that opportunity.

However, Lin Ming's strength had exceeded his expectations, forcing him to act to help Xue Jinyu shoulder some of the damage, but this also allowed him to find his chance.

The chance to possess Xue Jinyu.

Xue Jinyu's originally contorted face gradually relaxed and became calm.

Lin Ming watched this scene quietly; he wanted to see which of the two would emerge victorious.

Though he could have acted while they were struggling, he chose not to, playing the role of a spectator who enjoyed a good show.

This incidentally reminded Lin Ming of the fellow he had dealt with.

He had soul-searched him, and his Divine Soul had been destroyed in the process.

There should be no chance for him to be reborn.

Fifteen minutes later.

Xue Jinyu's gaze turned toward Lin Ming, carrying a sense of ancient weariness.

"It looks like you, old fossil, won."

Lin Ming said.

"A young body, not bad."

Xun Lang laughed loudly.

After more than eight thousand years, he had finally obtained a physical body again.

Only with a body did he feel like a human.

"Next, it's your turn."

Xun Lang said to Lin Ming.

Controlling this body for the first time did indeed feel somewhat awkward.

But Gou Lang was very confident in dealing with a Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator.

The strength Lin Ming displayed was indeed not weak.

That sword strike had even made Gou Lang sense danger.

But that was all.

All outsiders who entered the treasury this time had to die; this was the consensus they had reached.

Otherwise, they would be the ones in danger.

"So confident you can take me down?"

Lin Ming looked at Gou Lang with a playful smile.

"You'll know once we try."

Gou Lang said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gou Lang casually tossed the axe aside.

Immediately after, he struck out with a palm.

One Sword to Break the Seal.

Lin Ming slashed apart the palm print with a single strike.

Three figures, however, attacked from three different directions.

All three were phantom bodies.

Lin Ming saw through them at a glance; none were the true body.

Three streaks of Sword Qi were swung out.

In an instant, they collided with the three figures.

Boom...

As the three figures were cut down, bursts of extremely strong Yang Intent erupted from them.

These bursts of Yang Intent had already swallowed the Sword Qi and were rushing toward Lin Ming.

Lin Ming took a step forward and casually slashed the Yang Intent into extinction.

This kind of attack could no longer pose any threat to Lin Ming.

However, Gou Lang had just possessed Xue Jinyu's body, yet he used the Shangji Sect's Moves with great ease.

Lin Ming looked at Gou Lang and saw the temperature in this space rising rapidly.

"Chaotic Rebellion · Solar Zenith."

Gou Lang directly cast this dharma formula.

In an instant, the temperature that had been rising rapidly suddenly dropped.
