A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 135 The Power of the Great Handprint

Elder Gu and his three companions quickly engaged in battle with Sect Master Wang and his four companions.

Guo Yun and Liu Hong arrived at the opposite side of the Lin River, about twenty or thirty feet apart. The thin, elderly Liu Hong, with a rather volatile temper, bluntly said, "Boy, I have no interest in knowing your name or what you've done. I only know one thing: anyone who offends the young master deserves to die!"

As they spoke, Liu Hong had already controlled a huge iron hammer magic weapon to attack Lin He. Guo Yun, who was standing to the side, smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless about Liu Hong's irritable personality. However, he still cooperated with Liu Hong and controlled a flying fork to attack Lan Chou.

Seeing Liu Hong launch his attack, the massive iron hammer, carrying a faint sound of wind and thunder, was a heavy magic weapon, but its speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it reached Lin He's head and was about to smash down.

"Go to hell!"

As Liu Hong swung his hammer down, Lin He remained calm, standing still without dodging. Instead, he patted his storage bag, and two broadsword warrior puppets flew out. The two warrior puppets wielded their broadswords and forcefully blocked the huge iron hammer.

"A puppet in the early stage of Core Formation!"

Liu Hong's expression changed, and he began to feel that his opponent was a bit troublesome. Just then, Lin He grabbed at him from the air.

Liu Hong was stunned, somewhat confused. The next moment, a large golden handprint flew out and suddenly attacked Liu Hong.

The giant handprint moved incredibly fast, and since the two were not far apart, it reached Liu Hong's head in an instant.

"you----"

Liu Hong hurriedly took out a dark shield magic weapon to defend himself, trying to buy some time to use other secret techniques.

Upon receiving Lin He's command, the two broadsword warrior puppets began to launch a frenzied attack. One puppet tightly entangled the iron hammer magic weapon, while the other puppet unleashed more than a dozen thick sword energies, which slammed heavily onto the black shield, causing it to tremble incessantly.

Just then, the giant handprint took the opportunity to crash into it. The black shield was already under tremendous pressure, and now it was hit by the giant handprint's immense force. It couldn't withstand it for even a second. The shield was deformed, its spiritual light dimmed, and it looked completely useless.

"ah----"

Liu Hong, who was performing a secret technique, only had time to scream before he was violently slammed into the ground by the giant handprint. His body crashed into the ground like a cannonball with a loud bang, leaving a deep crater that was still emitting billowing hot air. Liu Hong lay motionless in the crater like a dead dog, having been knocked unconscious by the immense force of the giant handprint.

"Brother Liu!"

Guo Yun, who had a good relationship with Liu Hong, roared and was about to help when a thick sword aura flew out and Liu Hong was killed by a sword through the heart. It turned out that one of the broadsword warrior puppets had made the move and killed Liu Hong.

From Liu Hong's preemptive strike against Lin He, to Lin He's counterattack, stunning Liu Hong with a giant handprint, and then having his puppet kill Liu Hong, only a minute or two passed before Lin He so easily killed an early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

The numerous Core Formation stage cultivators who were engaged in combat naturally sensed the situation here through their divine senses, and all showed expressions of disbelief. However, Elder Gu's brows were furrowed, while Sect Master Wang and Zhou Yuan were overjoyed. Sect Master Wang even exclaimed with elation, "Excellent! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin to be so valiant. It seems we are destined to win this battle!"

"You can't put up a label like that on the battlefield!"

Lin He muttered to himself as the two puppets had already taken Liu Hong's corpse, storage bag, and the iron hammer magic weapon. As for the black shield, it had lost its spiritual power and was naturally of little value.

Lin He gathered all his belongings before turning to look at Guo Yun, who was fighting with Lan Chou.

When Guo Yun saw Lin He looking at him, he broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had acted very indignantly just now, he had actually been preparing to run away.

Guo Yun controlled the flying fork to block Lan Chou's blue flying sword. He moved and was about to escape when a thick golden sword aura suddenly appeared above his head. It was Lin He wielding the gilded sword treasure and attacking.

Guo Yun was terrified and quickly took out a golden talisman and stuck it on his body. A golden shield appeared and blocked the golden sword energy.

Just as Guo Yun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, more attacks followed.

Lin He brandished his gilded sword, unleashing dozens of golden sword energies. The two broadsword warrior puppets slashed out more than twenty thick sword energies in succession. Lan Chou brandished his blue flying sword, sending out more than a dozen light blue sword energies.

Faced with so many attacks, the golden talisman could not withstand it at all and was quickly broken, exploding into a ball of golden light and dissipating. Without the protection of the golden talisman, although Guo Yun hurriedly used several methods to resist, he was eventually overwhelmed by various attacks and was quickly killed.

Guo Yun and Liu Hong were both early-stage Core Formation cultivators, and their strengths were not much different. Facing the combined attack of Lin He, Lan Chou, and two early-stage Core Formation puppets, it was equivalent to facing four opponents of the same level, so they naturally could not withstand it.

Lin He collected Guo Yun's corpse, storage bag, and the flying fork magic weapon.

Two minutes ago, Elder Gu and his three companions were locked in a fierce battle with Sect Master Wang when they saw that Lin He had already killed Liu Hong, and that Guo Yun was being besieged by Lin He and his group, looking like he was in grave danger. They were immediately filled with horror and exclaimed, "Why aren't you making a move? What are you waiting for?"

Sect Leader Wang and Zhou Yuan were taken aback by what they heard, somewhat confused. However, Zhao and Meng, who were nearby, heard it clearly.

Sect Leader Wang used his jade flute to block the two flying knives from the other side. Just as he was about to use some methods, he suddenly heard a cry of pain beside him. He turned around and saw Zhou Yuan looking at her palm with shock and anger. Her palm was black, indicating that she had been poisoned!

At this moment, a black light fell back into the old man's hand. It turned out to be a poisonous scorpion. It was he who had suddenly released the scorpion to sting Zhou Yuan and poison her.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

Sect Leader Wang shouted, while the nearby scholar surnamed Meng drew his dagger, yelling, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you traitor! How dare you harm Fellow Daoist Zhou! I'll kill you!"

At this moment, the old man surnamed Zhao had already retreated back to the group of four elders, while the scholar surnamed Meng rushed towards the other side as if he hadn't seen them, looking as if he was prepared to fight to the death to avenge Zhou Yuan.

Seeing this, Sect Leader Wang quickly stopped him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Meng, don't be impulsive. The other side has many people and is powerful. Let's wait until we reunite with Fellow Daoist Lin before we act—ah! You—"

Master Wang looked at the scholar surnamed Meng across from him with an incredulous expression. As Master Wang was trying to persuade him, the scholar unexpectedly turned around and stabbed Master Wang in the chest. Blood was flowing out continuously, and Zhou Yuan quickly stopped the bleeding and sealed his acupoints.

Elder Gu and his three companions, along with Zhao and Meng, launched a fierce attack. "Quick! Kill those two first, then deal with that troublesome brat!"

Suddenly, Master Wang and his wife were in a predicament!
