[-8455! Cripple effect triggered!]
[Cripple: Any part of the enemy will become a weak point, ignoring armor for 15 seconds!]
Without any hesitation, Lin Jichen activated the [Heart Devour] skill of the Qingming Sword!
The Qingming Sword swiftly transformed into a crimson longsword, its sword aura imposing!
Lin Jichen stepped forward, his Sword Qi like a shadow, unleashing a dazzling rain of light.
As the Sword Qi crisscrossed, Ti Wushen, caught off guard, was slashed with a wound.
Seeing this, Ti Wushen immediately swung his blade to counterattack.
Previously, Lin Jichen would always parry with his sword, but this time, even as Ti Wushen's blade struck him, he remained unmoved and continued his attack!
Both were hit simultaneously.
Each bore a new wound.
The depth of their wounds was noticeably different.
Ti Wushen could hardly believe his eyes.
A late-stage Gathering Spirit cultivator like him, could his strength really be inferior to a Golden Core Realm youngster?
Unwilling to accept this, Ti Wushen swung his blade again, and Lin Jichen, still not dodging, also swung his sword.
One slash! One strike!
One slash! One strike!
The two continued this reckless exchange, both sustaining injuries.
But in the end, it was Ti Wushen who first abandoned this tactic, starting to dodge and maneuver.
On the contrary, Lin Jichen, like a fierce little teddy, relentlessly slashed at Ti Wushen.
Feeling humiliated, Ti Wushen didn't want to hold back anymore. He dodged Lin Jichen's sword and quickly retreated.
Taking the opportunity, Ti Wushen blew a whistle, and a small door in the prison opened automatically.
A two-headed demonic hound dashed out, like a bolt of lightning, attacking Lin Jichen from behind!
Sensing something amiss, Lin Jichen dodged just in time. The demonic hound leaped past him, landing at Ti Wushen's feet, wagging its tail obsequiously.
This demonic hound, with its two heads exuding demonic energy, had a foul stench emanating from its gaping mouths, and corrosive saliva dripping down, looking particularly disgusting.
Yet Ti Wushen petted its head like a treasure, saying, "Good job, now kill him!"
The demonic hound, receiving the command, immediately fixed its fierce gaze on Lin Jichen, barked loudly, and charged like a leopard!
"Damn it, can't beat me so you sic a dog on me?"
Lin Jichen cursed, watching the demonic hound's foul-smelling mouths open, striking at his neck with the speed of a viper!
Lin Jichen bent and dodged, avoiding the two stinking mouths, while his Qingming Sword slashed out instantly!
The Sword Qi left a long wound on the demonic hound, nearly cutting it in half.
The demonic hound howled in pain, crashing heavily to the ground.
[Guard: Two-headed Demonic Hound]
[Strength: Late Golden Core]
[Health: 27950/50000]
Seeing the demonic hound injured, Ti Wushen showed no pity, instead kicking it away.
Luckily, there were no animal lovers or John Wick around, or he would have been condemned instantly.
"Keep attacking!" Ti Wushen coldly commanded, ignoring the hound's whimpers of pain.
The demonic hound, enduring the agony, bared its teeth and charged at Lin Jichen again.
Lin Jichen sighed, "You got a bad master, don't blame me."
With that, Lin Jichen slashed continuously, cutting the demonic hound in two, ending its life.
However, while Lin Jichen dealt with the demonic hound, Ti Wushen had been silently gathering his strength, a sinister smile on his face, and slashed with his blade!
"Blood Demon Thunder Kill!"
In an instant, the entire third floor of the prison turned into a hellish purgatory, bathed in blood-red light.
The surrounding air sizzled and hissed like hot oil.
The blade aura from Ti Wushen's slash transformed into a blood demon, charging at Lin Jichen with a sinister laugh.
With no way to dodge, Lin Jichen could only brace himself, swinging his sword to block.
But he was still hit by the blood demon, sent flying into a profound crystal iron pillar, spitting blood and collapsing weakly.
[-13450! Triggered Weakness and Dazed states!]
[Weakness: All attributes decreased by 30%, lasts 20 seconds!]
[Dazed: Unable to concentrate to use Ultimate Techniques, lasts 30 seconds!]
The women, hearing the commotion, looked over.
Their hearts tightened, unable to help but call out to Lin Jichen.
Their distraction gave Fei Baihe an opportunity. He retreated and finally chanted a Spirit Skill.
"Heavenly Fire Rain!"
Instantly, Ren Lan, Panda Xiong, and Little Wan were surrounded by flames, their health bars dropping rapidly.
"Don't worry about me! Take care of yourselves! I'm fine."
Lin Jichen shouted as he got up, and the women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jichen wiped the blood from his mouth and barely caught his breath before Ti Wushen slashed at him again.
Taking advantage of his weakened state, Ti Wushen didn't want to give Lin Jichen any chance to recover.
Affected by the Weakness and Dazed states, Lin Jichen was constantly at a disadvantage, unable to dodge or block effectively.
He could only endure Ti Wushen's blade, leaving deep wounds on his body.
Lin Jichen's health was rapidly decreasing, losing thousands every second.
In desperation, Lin Jichen activated the Soul Heaven Battle Robe's skill, doubling his defense, and used his sword to block his weak points, preventing critical hits.
Finally, Ti Wushen's blade could no longer cut him.
But the good times didn't last long; Desperate Defense only lasted ten seconds.
After ten seconds, he still couldn't escape Ti Wushen's relentless attacks.
By the time the Weakness effect wore off, Lin Jichen's health was less than half.
When the Dazed effect ended, he had less than a quarter left.
Regaining his state, Lin Jichen didn't counterattack immediately but continued using the Returning to Origin Sword Art to withstand Ti Wushen's assaults.
Ti Wushen seemed to sense that Lin Jichen was preparing a big move, relentlessly attacking, not giving Lin Jichen any chance to gather energy.
Lin Jichen deliberately shouted, swinging a Sword Qi to temporarily force Ti Wushen back.
But Ti Wushen followed like a shadow the next second.
However, Lin Jichen smiled, just that brief moment was enough.
Buzzing sounds suddenly filled the air, irritating Ti Wushen.
He glanced up and saw a swarm of venomous bees gathering above him, growing in number.
These bees were huge, each the size of a fist, with horns on their heads and sharp, green stingers glowing at their tails.
The largest bee hovered at the back, buzzing continuously, seemingly giving orders.
Once the swarm was fully gathered, they immediately launched an attack on Ti Wushen!
