A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 136 Profound Yin Demonic Qi

Seeing the six people surrounding and attacking, Sect Master Wang quickly took out a spirit beast pouch, and the level 5 peak Earth Ape appeared, quickly blocking in front of the two.

The beast's body was strong, but it also had its limits. Faced with the fierce attack of six early-stage Core Formation cultivators, the Earth Ape was beaten to a pulp and seriously injured before it could even use its Rock Armor Technique. However, it was truly a physically strong beast, able to cover its master's retreat even after suffering such severe injuries.

The Earth Ape stretched out its large, hairy hands and grabbed the two of them, heading towards Lin He. Its back was already bleeding profusely from the beating. If it were a cultivator, they might hesitate about whether to risk their lives to save it, but the spirit beast was different. It didn't even think about it and chose to risk its life to save its master.

The Earth Ape was severely injured and had no strength left to fight. Sect Master Wang quickly put it into his spirit beast pouch to recuperate. At this time, Lin He had just killed Guo Yun and seemed unable to spare the time to help, only arriving at the two's side now.

The Wang family head and his wife were seriously injured and were already considering retreating. Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, we mustn't linger. The enemy is stronger; we should retreat first."

Lin He shook his head and said, "It's too late! Even if we want to leave now, they won't agree."

At this moment, Elder Gu and the other six had already surrounded Lin He and his group of four. Seeing that Lin He was so capable, Elder Gu did not want to give him a chance to breathe. Without even saying a word, he waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

In an instant, the six early-stage Core Formation cultivators made their moves, unleashing a barrage of magical treasures that created a dazzling display of light and spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Sect Leader Wang and Zhou Yuan looked on in despair. Without the help of the Earth Ape, and with their own serious injuries, they were no match for such a fierce attack and could only look to Lin He.

At this moment, Lin He remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic. Faced with such a powerful attack, he simply took out a golden Ruyi (a type of scepter).

The golden Ruyi, activated by magical power, transformed into a thick golden shield that protected everyone within it.

This golden Ruyi truly lived up to its reputation as a top-quality defensive ancient treasure. Despite numerous attacks from various magical artifacts striking it, the golden shield trembled violently but ultimately failed to break through, thus preventing any injury to Lin He and the others.

The Wang family head and his wife were stunned. This Fellow Daoist Lin was truly a treasure trove of knowledge. The previous high-quality offensive ancient treasure had already amazed them enough, and now he had presented them with another high-quality defensive ancient treasure, which was truly an eye-opener for them.

However, what happened next surprised them even more. Lin He took out a special talisman, and after activating its magic power, the figure of a giant silver python disappeared into Lin He's back. Lin He showed a look of pain, and then scales grew from his neck to his arms, which looked very strange.

This is naturally the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman made using the essence of a Level 5 Silver Scale Python. This talisman has already been used twice in Tiannan. After this use, the essence power within the talisman will be completely exhausted.

At the same time, Lin He's aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation level instantly rose to the peak of the early stage of Core Formation. He even borrowed some of the physical power of the Silver Scale Python, making his body much stronger than before.

Seeing Lin He's strange appearance and his rapidly increasing cultivation level, Elder Gu and the others changed their expressions and began to unleash even more ferocious attacks around the golden shield.

In an instant, seven or eight magical treasures attacked, causing the golden shield to shake violently. However, Lin He, who was at the center of the golden shield, snorted coldly and grabbed at Elder Miao in the air.

Elder Miao had already witnessed Lin He using the Golden Spirit Great Handprint, and quickly realized what was happening. He hurriedly took out a magic treasure to shield himself.

At this moment, the golden handprint had already flown to Elder Miao's head. With just one impact, the Ruyi magic weapon immediately twisted and deformed, looking as if it could not withstand the attack at all.

Elder Miao looked horrified upon seeing this, seemingly unable to believe it. He quickly took out another earth-yellow talisman and slapped it on his body, creating a thick earth-yellow protective shield.

Immediately afterward, the giant handprint sent Ruyi flying, then landed on Elder Miao's position. The earthen-yellow protective shield was utterly vulnerable and was directly shattered by the giant handprint. The next moment, Elder Gu's body was violently sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, lifeless.

Elder Gu and the others were stunned. The power of this giant handprint was never this strong before. How did it suddenly become so ferocious? Could it be related to the scales that suddenly grew on the opponent's body?

However, they had no time to think. After killing Elder Miao, the golden handprint quickly set its sights on Zhao and Meng. Although they had some tricks up their sleeves, how could they withstand the handprint amplified by the Spirit-Nourishing Talisman?

The two only held on for a short while before being brutally killed by the immense force of the giant handprint.

Previously, Elder Gu and his six companions were in a dominant position, besieging Lin He and his group of four. However, the situation changed in the blink of an eye, with Lin He overwhelming Elder Gu and the others. In a short period of time, Zhao, Meng, and Elder Miao were all killed by Lin He, leaving only Elder Gu and the other two.

The Wang family head and his wife were already somewhat numb. The shift in attack and defense was too fast, and they hadn't quite adapted yet.

But something strange happened. After killing Zhao and Meng, Lin He did not continue to attack. He simply collected their bodies and storage bags and then came to the two sect leaders, Wang and Meng.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you doing—"

Zhou Yuan didn't understand what it meant, but she soon realized it because a dark, gloomy wind suddenly appeared opposite them.

"Mysterious Yin Demonic Qi!" Zhou Yuan and Sect Master Wang couldn't help but exclaim in shock, appearing extremely fearful.

After the eerie wind dissipated, a short, thin, and strangely ugly young man with a face covered in black pockmarks appeared in the place. He was none other than Wu Chou.

Wu Chou's gaze toward Zhou Yuan was unrestrained, revealing his desire without any attempt to conceal it, making him appear exceptionally arrogant.

"As expected of the wife of the Miaoyin Sect Master, she is quite beautiful. If you are willing to hand over the Miaoyin Sect to me today and hand over all the female disciples to me for disposal, I may spare your lives for the time being."

Upon hearing this condition, Zhou Yuan refused without hesitation. Wu Chou seemed to have anticipated this as well, and instead of being in a hurry, he suddenly looked at Lin He and said with some surprise, "Your divine sense is not weak. You were able to see through my concealment technique, so you didn't rashly attack Elder Gu and the other two, right? What a pity. I was originally planning to give you a surprise."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan suddenly realized, but then felt strange. Even her husband, who was in the mid-stage of Core Formation, had not noticed, yet Lin He was able to detect it. Didn't that mean his divine sense was even stronger than her husband's?

Lin He, however, was too lazy to waste words with him and said coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why bother with more talk?"

Wu Aoyan's face darkened and he said, "Fine, then let this young master see your methods."
