Xing Sen had just broken free from being frozen and was puzzled. Why hadn't Lin Jichen taken advantage of this perfect opportunity to deal more damage?
It wasn't until he saw another seamless Sword Qi coming his way that he realized he had been too naive...
[Dizzy: 100% chance to trigger, lasts 3 seconds!]
[Silence: 5% chance to trigger, lasts 4 seconds!]
Xing Sen felt like crying. What was this? Even a 5% chance could hit? Was this a joke?
But it was out of his control now. This time, after being stunned, Lin Jichen didn't hesitate like before.
Instead, a storm of Sword Qi rained down on his face!
Xing Sen's health bar plummeted!
Lin Jichen didn't use any skills, knowing that skills required a brief charge time.
In this stationary output situation, normal attacks were enough!
In three seconds, Lin Jichen managed to slash nearly ten times.
The passive effect of the Falling Thunder Sword Technique was triggered to its fullest, causing considerable damage.
Xing Sen lost over twenty thousand health points just like that.
Adding the nearly ten thousand lost earlier, over thirty thousand health points were wiped out.
Fortunately, as a mid-Golden Core Realm cultivator, Xing Sen had nearly fifty thousand health points, leaving him with just over ten thousand.
When the dizziness wore off, Xing Sen immediately turned and ran. He couldn't use any skills as the silence effect was still active.
Lin Jichen, relentless, followed like a ghost.
Xing Sen was both annoyed and deliberately exposing weaknesses.
As soon as the silence ended, he turned and swung his axe, hoping to trigger the "Brutality" effect of the Six Harmonies and Eight Trigrams Axes.
But Lin Jichen, as agile as a monkey, had already anticipated this move and dodged.
Yet, Xing Sen didn't give up. He suddenly threw both axes from his hands!
This was the second skill of the axes, "Throw"!
He aimed precisely at Lin Jichen's next step, ensuring a perfect hit!
Seeing this, Lin Jichen played another trick.
He lifted his sword and, at an unbelievable angle, struck the incoming axes, threading them like a skewer through the gaps in the axe blades.
Then, with a spin, he threw them back at Xing Sen!
Xing Sen quickly dodged, barely avoiding being hit by his own axes, which would have been extremely embarrassing.
The axes spun back into Xing Sen's hands.
On the other side of the battlefield, Su Wanling and Panda Xiong were struggling.
Su Wanling's talent wasn't high, and her cultivation was only at the Crystal Realm.
Panda Xiong was also just a Crystal Realm pet. Facing so many attackers and several Golden Core Realm cultivators, they were having a tough time.
Shi Xiyue was doing her best to help, but her limited strength wasn't much of a help.
If it weren't for her luxurious equipment, she would have been defeated long ago.
Lin Jichen glanced over and decided not to hold back anymore.
From a dozen meters away, he suddenly flashed forward!
His figure moved like lightning, and the Dark Night Sword in his hand sliced through the air, carrying terrifying Sword Qi!
Lin Jichen's speed suddenly increased by seventy percent!
At this speed, Xing Sen had no chance to dodge and took the hit head-on!
[Wind Thunder Sword!]
[Critical Hit! -4800!]
Using his incredible speed, Lin Jichen began to toy with Xing Sen, striking and retreating before Xing Sen could react.
Each time Lin Jichen swung his sword, Xing Sen tried to counterattack, but Lin Jichen was already gone.
The next second, Lin Jichen would return, strike again, and then slip away.
It was infuriating! Ugh!
This monkey-like behavior made Xing Sen extremely frustrated, and his health was dangerously low!
Xing Sen roared, and his axes suddenly struck the ground beneath him!
Instantly, it felt like Lin Jichen's feet were filled with lead, and a gravity field formed around him!
His speed was forcibly reduced, and he was stuck in place.
Lin Jichen hadn't expected this move. Although he still had Mist Piercing Charge ready, the slowing skill had already been used, making it useless.
Mist Piercing Charge had to be used the moment a control skill hit to successfully break free.
Seeing that he couldn't move, Xing Sen smiled confidently, his axes gathering terrifying power!
He was about to unleash his ultimate technique!
However, Lin Jichen was only immobilized, not stunned.
Immobilization only prevented movement; Lin Jichen could still attack.
Just before Xing Sen could release his ultimate technique, Lin Jichen's right arm trembled, and his sword turned into a blinding light, slashing out in an instant, the light turning into shadows.
[Heavenly Light Slash!]
One slash, light and shadow intertwined and vanished!
[Critical Hit! -7200!]
[Triggered! Death Execution! Instant Kill!]
A clear blood mark appeared on Xing Sen's neck.
The ultimate technique he had been gathering dissipated, and he turned into a shadow, leaving only a Soul Burial Mound.
"Phew, this skill is pretty good," Lin Jichen praised his newly learned skill.
Yes, this was the kind of skill effect he needed now.
Otherwise, if the skill's damage was less than normal attacks, what would be the point?
After killing Xing Sen, Lin Jichen walked to his Soul Burial Mound and picked up a Mysterious Grade armor with great attributes, though not suitable for him.
Of course, Lin Jichen didn't mind, tossing it into his ring before heading to support Su Wanling.
At this point, Zhang Chang and the others hadn't noticed that Xing Sen had been taken down by Lin Jichen.
By the time they realized, Lin Jichen had already rushed over and killed them all in a flash.
Before dying, Zhang Chang warned Lin Jichen, "Lin Jichen! Just you wait, this isn't over!"
Lin Jichen feigned innocence, "Don't blame me, it was all my wife's idea. Go find her."
Zhang Chang wanted to say more, but he was already dead and went back to his sect to be resurrected.
With everyone cleared out, Su Wanling breathed a sigh of relief, not bothering to argue about Lin Jichen blaming her, and quickly went to collect the Soul Burial Mounds.
"Haha, look what I found, a Mysterious Grade sword! And a pair of Spirit Grade boots, and..."
When Su Wanling returned, her arms were full of equipment.
"Here, take it." Su Wanling handed all the loot to Lin Jichen.
"Why give it all to me?" Lin Jichen chuckled.
"You killed them all, so it's yours."
"Alright, you're the best, wife." Lin Jichen grinned as he accepted the items.
Su Wanling blushed and playfully tried to hit him, but Lin Jichen dodged nimbly.
As they were messing around, a voice came from the side.
"Um... thank you for saving me. I'll never forget your kindness," said Shi Xiyue, the Lucky One of Tale of Immortal.
"It's nothing, just helping out. Girls need to protect themselves when they're out. You should head back," Su Wanling said coolly.
Shi Xiyue hesitated and then asked, "Are you from the Moon Shadow Guild?"
"I was wondering... can I join the Moon Shadow Guild?"
After this experience, Shi Xiyue realized the importance of having a strong backing. She wanted to join Moon Shadow!
