Sui Wei narrowly dodged Lin Jichen's strike, but he didn't dare to be complacent. He quickly retrieved an elixir from his Storage Ring and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Lin Jichen's smile grew wider. This scene was all too familiar to him. It reminded him of how he used to deal with Golden Core Realm enemies, relying on elixirs to make up for his lack of attributes.
Who would have thought that an Inner Temple disciple at the Golden Core Realm would need elixirs to enhance his damage against someone at the Crystal Realm?
Although Lin Jichen knew Sui Wei wasn't his match, he remained highly focused, never underestimating his opponent.
Taking advantage of the moment Sui Wei was consuming the elixir, Lin Jichen launched a swift attack.
Sui Wei had just swallowed the elixir when he saw a black sword shadow coming at him. He had no time to dodge and could only raise his spear to block, protecting his vital points.
But Lin Jichen wasn't aiming for his vital points; he casually stabbed Sui Wei's shoulder.
With the passive attack damage of the Falling Thunder Sword Technique boosted by 100%, Lin Jichen didn't need to aim for critical hits. The normal attack damage was equivalent to a critical hit.
It was as if Sui Wei's entire body was a weak point.
However, this passive effect was short-lived, lasting only five seconds. Once it expired, if he didn't land another normal attack, the damage would revert to 50%, requiring him to stack it again.
The sword tip pierced Sui Wei's shoulder, effortlessly breaking through his Golden Core Spirit Shield.
Bright red blood sprayed like fireworks, a beautiful yet gruesome sight in the air.
[Normal attack! -2800!]
Damn! Even after consuming a Mysterious Grade defense elixir, he was still injured this badly by a single strike.
Sui Wei had no time to alleviate the intense pain and shock. After taking this hit, Lin Jichen's assault showed no signs of slowing down. The sword tip lifted, tearing through Sui Wei's shoulder flesh, and continued to slash at him!
Lin Jichen's offensive was like a raging fire, unstoppable. Sui Wei could only endure the excruciating pain and parry with his spear.
Sui Wei knew that if he continued to fight , he would never be a match for Lin Jichen. So he decided to use his skills.
He unleashed various demonic sect secret techniques, each one incredibly powerful.
Golden Core Realm skills were not to be underestimated in terms of damage.
Not wanting to be careless, Lin Jichen activated his Thunder Armor and re-engaged in battle.
Seeing that his spirit and martial skills were not posing much of a threat to Lin Jichen, Sui Wei gritted his teeth and decided to use his Ultimate Technique!
In an instant, Sui Wei transformed into a hellish demon, surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy.
Sui Wei threw his dark spear, which transformed into a hellish dragon, its roar echoing through the sky as it charged at Lin Jichen.
The entire sky was shrouded in the dragon's dark aura, a terrifying sight.
Lin Jichen was annoyed that someone was using an Ultimate Technique against him. He had suffered from others' Ultimate Techniques before and wasn't about to let it happen again.
Lin Jichen held his sword in his right hand, but his left hand was even more striking.
His entire left arm surged with immense black energy, resembling a demon's arm.
Lin Jichen opened his palm, gathering all the demonic energy into his hand.
In his palm, it seemed as if a planet was about to explode, carrying the power to destroy everything!
"Shattered Sky Demon Seal Palm!"
The sky, already dim, turned completely dark, as if night had fallen.
Anyone unaware would think two high-level demonic cultivators were fighting.
This Ultimate Technique was something Lin Jichen had learned from Li Chang'an, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, using his Eye of Insight.
He had never been able to use it before due to his realm not reaching the Crystal Formation.
This was Lin Jichen's first time using it, and its aura alone was far stronger than Li Chang'an's.
In the sky, a massive black palm print descended, colliding with the hellish dragon!
The violent shockwaves swept through like a hurricane, obliterating the lone mountain beneath their feet!
The entire mountain collapsed!
Nearby disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were thrown back dozens of meters, coughing up blood from the shockwaves.
Lin Jichen and Sui Wei stood at the center of the battlefield, locking eyes.
Lin Jichen's mouth bled, and his clothes were tattered.
But he remained calm and undefeated.
In contrast, Sui Wei looked much worse.
The clash of their Ultimate Techniques had a clear winner!
Sui Wei spat out a mouthful of blood but forced a smile and said to Lin Jichen, "So, you're also a disciple of the demonic sect. My apologies."
Did this guy really think that just because he used a demonic sect's secret technique, he was a demonic cultivator?
"I'm from a righteous sect! Not a demonic sect disciple! Are your eyes on your ass?" Lin Jichen cursed.
To think his righteous image was mistaken for a demonic cultivator, damn it!
"Then why do you know a demonic sect's Ultimate Technique?" Sui Wei didn't believe him.
Lin Jichen sneered, "Any secret technique is like a weapon; they don't distinguish between good and evil. Only people do, you idiot!"
Sui Wei was furious and was about to retort when Lin Jichen, already impatient, attacked again!
Using the Ultimate Technique had wasted the +100% normal attack damage he had painstakingly stacked. Unforgivable! He had to stack it again!
Sui Wei was both shocked and angry, knowing he couldn't escape. He could only grit his teeth and continue to fight.
At the same time, he called out to his 'useless' fellow disciples.
"What the hell are you all looking at? Get over here and help me!"
But none of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples were willing to listen. Why should they take orders from an Inner Temple disciple?
Besides, they knew they would be walking to their deaths.
Demonic cultivators were inherently selfish. Seeing that Sui Wei was unreliable, they exchanged glances and quickly retreated, fleeing the scene.
With his fellow disciples gone, Sui Wei had no chance of resisting and was left to be beaten by Lin Jichen.
Realizing he was in a hopeless situation, Sui Wei decided to self-destruct his Golden Core!
But Lin Jichen, having learned from past experiences, wouldn't let his prey self-destruct in front of him.
He launched a relentless barrage of attacks on Sui Wei.
This left Sui Wei unable to force out his Golden Core.
In the end, he couldn't land a final blow on Lin Jichen and died a miserable death.
His body fell from the sky, smashing into a pulp.
Lin Jichen let out a long breath. This Golden Core opponent was as strong as the Hell Boar God.
But it was much easier for him to deal with this time.
Thanks to the growth brought by breaking through to the Crystal Realm.
After killing Sui Wei, the other Ten Thousand Demon Sect disciples had long scattered and disappeared.
Lin Jichen had no interest in chasing them. He also feared other experts from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect might arrive.
He quickly descended, looted Sui Wei and the demonic cultivators' Soul Burial Mounds, and retrieved Sui Wei's Golden Core before swiftly leaving.
