98: Bald monk, if you don't want to leave, then don't leave.

Seeing this, Arhat Zhuyun's expression changed.

Li Jiangchen's strength exceeded expectations; even Old Man Chuan could only flee after being injured.

However, the Myriad Buddhas Sect was a power not inferior to the Four Seas Alliance, and as a veteran Grandmaster, Arhat Zhuyun could not lose face. He immediately said, "Benefactor is a natural Sword Cultivator; This Old Monk was blind."

"With this level of strength, you can naturally keep that High Grade Spiritual Artifact sword."

"However, this King Chujiang is someone This Old Monk is determined to capture and take away today."

"Below our Myriad Buddhas Sect's World Honored One, there are still eight hundred Arhats. I hope Benefactor will not ruin himself."

The threat was incomparably cold.

However, the Grandmasters present had all been secretly plotting just now, coveting the High Grade Spiritual Artifact sword that Li Jiangchen had fished up.

Even with three Grandmasters provoking him, only King Chujiang was willing to stand up for him; how could Li Jiangchen abandon him?

With a golden dragon circling his body, Li Jiangchen said coldly, "Buddhism speaks of Opportunity."

"In This Li's view, this Sword Tomb Opportunity is likely not meant for the Buddhist sect."

"If you all do not leave quickly, I fear you will face a calamity."

Upon hearing these words, King Chujiang, who was covered in blood nearby, felt a warmth rise in his heart.

Perhaps it was out of investment before, but now he truly recognized Li Jiangchen's loyalty.

"Junior, how arrogant!"

Without waiting for Li Jiangchen to make a move, the nearby Arhats Fuhu and Xianglong shouted angrily. As they formed hand seals, illusory golden dragons and tigers suddenly appeared all around.

During their conversation, these two had secretly set up a Buddhist Formation.

However, how could all this escape Li Jiangchen's Dharma Eye? The Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation suddenly appeared all around, with the Immortal Sword Domain superimposed over the Demon Kingdom. Surging Sword Qi gathered, transforming into a sky full of Geng Metal Qi, crazily shredding the golden dragons and tigers.

After a few breaths, the dragon bodies broke and the golden tigers had their wings snapped. The two Arhats' lifeline Formations were broken, and they spat out blood one after another, flying backward.

Li Jiangchen did not let up, pouring his True Qi into the Golden Lightning Sword in his hand as if it were worthless.

"Bald donkey, since you don't want to leave, then don't leave."

Whoosh! A golden dragon Sword Qi slashed out. The boundless Sword Qi arrived in an instant, sending the two Arhats flying like broken sacks. Under the shredding of the Sword Qi, they turned into bloody figures, their auras extremely weak.

Many of the Grandmasters who entered the Sword Tomb held sword-shaped keys, but clearly, these two did not.

At this moment, shadows suddenly moved on the ground, forming a terrifying giant mouth that swallowed the two of them in one gulp.

Demonic Qi permeated the air, revealing the figure of the Demon Flood Dragon King.

"Junior Brother!"

Seeing such a scene, Arhat Zhuyun's eyes were about to split with rage. He opened his mouth and spat out a golden sarira, around which an image of a Buddha circled.

The Daoist sect Cultivates the Golden Core, while the Buddhist sect Cultivates the sarira; the two are similar.

At this moment, a massive amount of Buddha Power spewed from the sarira, transforming into a giant golden palm descending from the sky.

Divine Ability — Formless Prajna Palm.

In an instant, the wind surged and the Void Realm trembled. A giant palm resembling a mountain Peak constantly magnified in everyone's pupils, its terrifying aura causing many Grandmasters to frown.

"It is the Formless Prajna Palm. Although this Divine Ability is ranked third grade, having been cultivated by Arhat Zhuyun to this Realm, it already carries a hint of the World Honored One's Tathagata Palm."

"This single strike alone consumes at least a century of his foundation; its power is enough to kill a Grandmaster."

"That fellow Zhuyun is risking his life."

As the terrifying pressure approached, Li Jiangchen crazily consumed his True Qi. The Golden Lightning Sword flew through the Void Realm, spitting out Sword Qi that transformed into a hundred-zhang golden dragon, rushing fiercely toward the mountain-like giant palm.

Boom—

The two collided, and two golden rays of light erupted. Destructive energy spread crazily, stirring up a storm all around.

The terrifying aftermath caused the Formations within the Sword Tomb to teeter on the verge of collapse.

Everyone only saw a figure flash through the dazzling golden light, and a Sword Qi slashed out. Arhat Zhuyun's golden body was like a deflated balloon, rapidly withering.

"This Old Monk's golden body!" Arhat Zhuyun's face was like gold paper, blood spraying wildly, and resentment flashed in his eyes.

A sword-shaped key appeared in his palm. As he activated it, Sword Qi circled his body, isolating him from the outside world as the power of the Void Realm surged around him.

"Little Sword King, if I do not kill you in the future, This Old Monk swears I will not achieve Buddhahood."

The Sword Light dissipated, and Arhat Zhuyun disappeared before everyone's eyes.

In an instant, he had defeated all three Grandmasters of the Myriad Buddhas Sect.

Even Arhat Zhuyun, with his full-power outburst, was vaguely in the first tier, comparable to Old Man Chuan, yet he could still only flee in panic.

At this moment, an absurd thought arose in everyone's minds.

A Quenching Fiend Realm Sword Cultivator could actually only be suppressed by a Pseudo-Saint; it was simply outrageous.

Many Grandmasters shook their heads secretly, and three Grandmasters who had secretly locked their Qi onto Li Jiangchen left on the spot, fearing that Li Jiangchen would trouble them.

"Many thanks, Brother Chu, for stepping in to block those three bald donkeys for me. Otherwise, if they had swarmed me, This Li would have felt it troublesome."

Li Jiangchen cast a strand of Undecaying Power, which merged into King Chujiang's body. His injuries recovered rapidly, making King Chujiang grin.

"Brother Li is too polite. I had long found that nest of bald donkeys unpleasant. Before, I only killed one, and they wouldn't stop pestering me."

"It's a pity that Zhuyun had a sword-shaped key, otherwise I would have definitely sought to give him some trouble," King Chujiang said.

Soon, the storm subsided.

After this incident, many Grandmasters spontaneously kept their distance from Li Jiangchen, not daring to spy secretly.

Li Jiangchen continued fishing. Since the Golden Lightning Sword belonged to the metal element, he simply melted down the metal-element semi-Spiritual Artifact to use as spiritual bait.

As soon as the spiritual bait fell into the river, the water churned again. A large number of Spiritual Artifacts scrambled, frantically devouring the dissipating spiritual charm.

Several times, Spiritual Artifact fish tried to swallow the spiritual bait, but they were all avoided by Li Jiangchen's vibrating True Qi.

Since he had fished up a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, he naturally looked down on ordinary Spiritual Artifacts.

At the very least, it had to be a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact to be qualified to be fished up by him.

Such behavior naturally aroused the jealousy of many Grandmasters.

Even for Grandmasters, they didn't have many Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts in their hands. If they had a Spiritual Artifact fish take the bait, they would be burning incense; they had no right to be picky.

Under the temptation of the spiritual bait, it became increasingly difficult for Spiritual Artifact fish to take the bait.

Many Grandmasters began to leave the treasure bridge, heading towards the end filled with mist.

There were many treasures in the Sword Tomb; there was no need to hang themselves here.

At this moment, a golden light flashed at the bottom of the river, transforming into a fish that bit hard onto the spiritual bait.

"A Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, that will do I suppose..."

Just as Li Jiangchen was about to exert force, a giant red crab waving giant pincers suddenly parted the water, smashing down with one pincer. The fish biting the bait was instantly knocked unconscious and sank to the river bottom, while a giant pincer grabbed the spiritual bait tightly.

"This feeling, could it be a High Grade Spiritual Artifact..." Li Jiangchen suddenly exerted force, only to feel a violent force coming from the other end.

This strength was actually greater than that of the Golden Lightning Sword from before.

However, it was ultimately no match for a Body Refining Grandmaster.

After a bout of wrestling, Li Jiangchen seized the moment the giant crab was exhausted and dragged it out of the water in one go.

The giant crab streaked across the sky, burning with scorching flames, and transformed into a pair of crimson gauntlets embedded with gemstones.

"Not a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, but it has the standard of a Peak Medium Grade." The moment Li Jiangchen grabbed the gloves, a piece of information flooded his mind, and he immediately understood the item's utility.

This item contained a Body Refining Divine Ability, which could significantly increase the user's physical strength.

No wonder this giant crab artifact spirit had such lasting strength; so that was why.

"This item shall serve as repayment for Brother Chu's loan of the Spiritual Artifact earlier," Li Jiangchen said, tossing the gauntlets to King Chujiang.

As soon as King Chujiang got them, his expression changed, and he appeared bashful: "Brother Li, this is too valuable. What I lent earlier was just a broken semi-Spiritual Artifact, a world of difference from this Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact. Better to..."

Before he could finish, he was met with Li Jiangchen's firm gaze that brooked no refusal.

"If Brother Chu still acknowledges This Li as a friend, then accept it," Li Jiangchen said.

With the spiritual bait in hand, he didn't have to worry about not being able to fish up more Spiritual Artifacts here.

King Chujiang flushed, offered a plea of indulgence, and accepted the crab gauntlets. He then took out a Storage Pouch and said, "Brother Li, there are still quite a few semi-Spiritual Artifacts and broken Spiritual Artifacts in this Storage Pouch. Take them and use them."

Li Jiangchen pondered slightly and nodded immediately. He was indeed lacking junk to refine spiritual charm.

Within a day.

Several rays of spiritual light streaked out from the water, landing in Li Jiangchen's hands and transforming into Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

At this moment, the Flying Swords that made up the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation had already been upgraded, all of them replaced, with the lowest being a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Among them, the metal-element and fire-element Flying Swords were the strongest, having reached the High Grade level.
