A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Lin He activated the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman, borrowing some of the power from the level-five demonic beast, the Silver Scale Python. His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. With his physical strength alone, he was able to fight against a cultivator in the early Core Formation stage. As soon as he made a move, he caused Xu Chong to suffer a small loss.

"You... this doesn't seem like a spirit possession technique. It looks like you've borrowed the power of a demon beast through a talisman."

Xu Chong was taken aback and quickly retreated. However, Lin He did not take the opportunity to pursue him. Instead, he looked at him with a mocking expression.

"not good!"

Xu Chong was also a man with rich fighting experience, and he immediately understood what was going on. He quickly stepped aside, and at that moment, a hairy fist grazed his face. The wind from the fist left a small wound on his face, and a trickle of blood flowed out.

Xu Chong was both surprised and angry, and quickly looked towards the opposite side. At this moment, a yellowish-brown ape appeared beside Lin He. This ape was only the size of an adult, but it was holding a coiled dragon staff and wearing rock spirit armor, looking very majestic.

"A level four spirit beast? No, wait..."

At this moment, Yuan Yi and Lin He rushed over together. Xu Chong dared not be negligent and quickly controlled the blue flying sword to deal with it. However, Lin He and Yuan Yi threw a punch at the same time, and two powerful forces came, shaking the blue flying sword so that it was difficult to resist. Xu Chong, who was connected with it, was immediately affected and his face turned an unusual crimson.

At this moment, dozens of golden sword energies flew out at great speed. Xu Chong, who was fighting with Lin Heyuan, had no time to dodge. The golden sword energies quickly hit Xu Chong, making him stagger, but they did not seriously injure him.

Only then did Lin He realize that Xu Chong was wearing a blue inner armor, which was the one that had helped him withstand Lan Chou's sneak attack with the Golden Rain Sword.

Lin He snorted coldly and attacked at the same time as Yuan Yi. In an instant, countless fist shadows flew out, and the attack was like a storm. How could the blue flying sword withstand such power? The originally dazzling blue light had become much dimmer, and it looked like its spirituality was damaged.

Xu Chong, whose mind was connected to his, was immediately alarmed. If his natal magic weapon were destroyed, he would also suffer a severe injury. He quickly released two blue flying forks to attack, trying to retrieve the blue flying sword.

But Lin He wouldn't let him have his way. He and Yuan Yi casually slapped the two flying forks away, and then concentrated all their power on the blue flying sword.

In an instant, the wind howled and countless fist shadows fell. The blue flying sword finally could not withstand it, and its blue light almost went out.

"No!"

Xu Chong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale. At that moment, dozens more golden sword energies attacked.

The blue inner armor, now dimmed, trembled violently after being struck by the golden sword energy, appearing as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

At this moment, Lin He and Yuan Yi appeared in front of Xu Chong. One wielded the Panlong Staff, and the other threw a punch. The blue inner armor, which was already unable to support itself, collapsed instantly under the force of the two forces, revealing Xu Chong who was completely defenseless.

"what……"

In the brief moment it took for him to spit out a mouthful of blood, his inner armor was pierced through. Xu Chong was horrified, but it was too late. The Panlong Staff struck his crown, and Lin He's fist pierced through his body. Xu Chong was still in shock when Lin He, not wanting to waste any time, collected his corpse along with his storage bag.

The process from Lin He's attack to the killing of Xu Chong was very brief. Meng Liang's side wanted to provide assistance, but was blocked by Nangong Wan.

At this moment, Nangong Wan manipulated a fiery red jade tablet in her hand, and dozens of mysterious red runes immediately appeared on the tablet.

These runes flew out and attacked Meng Liang continuously, temporarily holding back Meng Liang, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Lin He wasn't the only one whose strength improved; Nangong Wan also gained a lot from the battle at Spirit Beast Mountain. This fiery red jade pendant is a high-quality ancient treasure with fire attributes, which she obtained in this battle.

Yuan Yi was left to protect Senior Sister Chen and the others, while Lin He and Lan Chou surrounded them at the same time.

Seeing the three of them closing in, Meng Liang's face turned extremely gloomy. He had thought that holding off Lin He and the others would not be a difficult task, but he did not expect to lose a teammate so quickly.

"I didn't expect you to know the talisman techniques of the Myriad Wonders Temple. But do you really think you've already won?"

Lin He frowned upon hearing this, while Nangong Wan seemed to sense something, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Looks like you've noticed too. Good, you didn't really think there were only two of us, did you?"

"Hurry up!" Nangong Wan reminded him and prepared to leave with Lin He. However, at this moment, Meng Liang suddenly waved his hand and threw out four fire bombs all at once.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan quickly took out her fiery red shield to defend herself, while Lin He controlled Lan Chou to take out a golden Ruyi.

After four earth-shattering explosions, Meng Liang quickly looked up and was immediately filled with disbelief.

A dense golden shield enveloped the three of them. The fire and lightning were indeed powerful; even a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation could suffer serious injury if caught off guard. However, it was still difficult to break through the defenses of the Golden Ruyi, a fine defensive ancient treasure, and cause any harm to Lin He and the other two.

After the smoke cleared, Lan Chou put away the golden ruyi, and the three of them immediately flew back to Chen Shijie and the others.

"Let's go! Their reinforcements have arrived!"

After Nangong Wan finished speaking, she was about to lead everyone away when several Core Formation stage cultivators appeared. Three Core Formation stage cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect blocked Lin He and the others' path. All three were actually at the mid-Core Formation stage. At the same time, Meng Liang also flew over, blocking Lin He and the others' retreat.

"Young man surnamed Lin, you've really surprised me. Hand over your treasures and the talisman techniques you're using now, and maybe I'll let you die a little more easily."

As soon as Meng Liang finished speaking, the other three Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators were also greatly surprised, because Lin He's appearance was indeed strange at this moment, and his aura had been raised to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan frowned, looked at Lin He, and asked, "Should we use that?"

Lin He glanced at the person opposite him, "How long can your current spiritual power last...?"

At this point, Lin He suddenly looked in a certain direction. Not only Lin He, but Nangong Wan and the others also noticed something and turned to look.

Meng Liang seemed to have sensed something and quickly looked in that direction, his brows furrowed.

The three Ghost Spirit Sect elders seemed to have realized something as well, and were no longer as confident as before.

Four streaks of light flew in. The two in the lead were both dressed in red. The leader was a young woman in red with the cultivation level of early Foundation Establishment, while behind her was a beautiful woman with powerful magic that had reached the cultivation level of late Core Formation.
