Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

The sword energy of the Dragon Soul Sword raged within his body.

"Awooo!"

Xuan Biao roared again, and the ghost entered his body, dissipating the sword energy.

He suffered a back injury, and blood gushed out like a jet, making it difficult for him to move.

Lin Zhu took advantage of his illness and tried to kill him.

He raised the Dragon Soul Sword high, its sword energy condensing into a massive sword aura twenty feet long. This was his full-force strike, which he slashed forward.

Sensing the extreme power of the sword energy, Xuan Biao roared, "No, you're just a Celestial Immortal. So what if you have a acquired spiritual treasure? You can't possibly be this powerful!"

One after another, the ferocious demons crashed into the sword energy, giving Xuan Biao a chance to speak.

The sword energy showed no mercy, annihilating the various forms of the evil spirits. As the sword energy was consumed, it was replenished by the innate spiritual energy.

Lin Zhu's eyes were devoid of any emotion; this was a ruthless and heartless sword strike, but also a strike that charged forward without hesitation.

Xuan Biao was locked onto by the sword intent. With each step he took, it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Even with the help of the ghosts blocking the sword energy, he was still unable to escape the sword.

The sword energy touched Xuan Biao's body, and the sharp blade instantly sliced ​​him in two. His body was torn apart, and blood splattered, staining a patch of earth crimson.

Before its primordial spirit could escape, it was annihilated by Lin Zhu's extremely powerful Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Intent, leaving only a wisp of true spirit heading towards reincarnation.

Thirty thousand merits have been earned.

Ten thousand were for killing Xuan Biao, and the other twenty thousand were for Lin Zhu helping that group of vengeful spirits escape.

After that sword strike, eighty percent of his spiritual energy was depleted, leaving him feeling an unprecedented emptiness.

Now is not the time to deal with Xuan Biao's body. Lin Zhu first put Xuan Biao's two pieces of remains into the storage space, and then stood in place to meditate.

The innate spiritual energy, along with the innate malevolent energy, surged into the body.

Its body radiates a dazzling golden light of merit, automatically filtering out innate evil energy from its meridians and dantian.

Lin Zhu didn't waste any time. After eight major cycles, his spiritual power was fully restored, and he also refined the innate evil energy into his body.

After this battle, he felt his spiritual power had increased again.

However, what he didn't realize was that, during the process of restoring his spiritual power, the golden light of merit on his body was too dazzling, causing ferocious beasts and demons within a hundred miles to flee in panic.

These ferocious beasts and demons were also discerning; such a massive amount of golden light of merit must belong to at least a Golden Immortal, and they couldn't afford to offend it.

But a spirit ran towards Lin Zhu.

The golden light of merit terrified ferocious beasts and demons, but not spirits.

"Immortal, this lowly demon is in trouble, please come to my rescue."

Her voice is soft and cute, and quite pleasant to listen to.

Lin Zhu's gaze sharpened, and the golden light of merit faded, revealing a palm-sized orchid spirit before him.

Although small in size, it has everything it should have, and the proportions are very harmonious.

Dressed in blue, with orchid petals adorning the hem of her skirt, concealing her slender lower body, she danced gracefully in mid-air.

Judging from his aura, he possesses the strength of a celestial being.

Lin Zhu found it amusing and asked, "Why do you think I can save you?"

The orchid spirit said, "This little demon was sent here by Grandpa Qiling. With your great strength, you will surely be able to help us."

Although she was young, she looked mature, yet too innocent. At this moment, she was dancing around the bamboo grove, within arm's reach.

"You're an orchid spirit, eating you is very nutritious, aren't you afraid I'll eat you?"

Lin Zhu exuded malice.

The orchid spirit trembled in fright. "You, you wouldn't do that, and neither would Grandpa Qiling. He wouldn't send me here to be eaten by you."

Lin Zhu grinned mischievously and, with lightning speed, grabbed the orchid spirit.

The orchid spirit was startled and froze.

Lin Zhu applied a little force with his right hand; the feel was much better than that of the figurine.

But he quickly relaxed, suppressing it with only his spiritual power, and then opened his mouth to put the orchid essence into it.

"Ahhh~"

The orchid spirit cried out in fright, "Don't eat me! I don't taste good; I'm bitter!"

Lin Zhu was just trying to scare her; she wouldn't actually eat it.

With her hands outstretched in front of her, the orchid spirit screamed with her eyes closed, forgetting even to run away.

Lin Zhu pointed at her in front of him, "Stop yelling, I won't eat you."

The orchid spirit then opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and asked, "You really won't eat me?"

"I really won't eat you." If the orchid spirit were just in its physical form and hadn't yet transformed into a spirit, Lin Zhu would have eaten it without hesitation. But now that she had transformed into a spirit, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.

"I knew Grandpa Qiling wouldn't lie to me, the Immortal is a good immortal." The orchid spirit pleaded, "Immortal, please help us."

"Tell me first who your spirit-awakening grandfather is?"

Lin Zhu felt that the guy who could come up with the name Qi Ling must be someone extraordinary.

"It's Grandpa Qiling! We were able to transform into spirits because of Grandpa Qiling's guidance."

Answer whatever the orchid spirit has to say.

Chapter 707 Acquired Spiritual Root of Unknown Rank

"He can already guide you to become spirits, so why are you seeking my help?" Lin Zhu wondered. This Qi Ling was probably not a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Grandpa Qiling is unable to move around easily, and those demons and evil spirits come every night. Many of our sisters have been eaten by them. Immortal brother, please have mercy and save us."

The orchid spirit held Lin Zhu's fingers, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Zhu was puzzled. "Is he injured and has difficulty moving around?"

“No.” The orchid spirit shook her head. “Grandpa Qiling is an orange tree. He hasn’t taken human form and can’t move.”

"An orange tree?" Lin Zhu became interested. Could this be an acquired spiritual root?

Although acquired spiritual roots are not as good as innate spiritual roots, they are still rare, and it is surprising that they would appear here.

“Yes!” The orchid spirit nodded, then explained, “We are all flowers and plants under Grandpa Qiling’s tree. Every time the Qiling oranges ripen and fall, several of us sisters can be transformed into spirit children.”

What kind of Qiling Orange has such powerful effects?

Lin Zhu swallowed hard, thinking that it should taste pretty good.

However, judging from its effects, the Enlightenment Orange Tree must be something to be trifled with. Whether or not to go there remains to be seen.

He asked, "You need my help, where are you located?"

“There!” The orchid spirit pointed southeast without hesitation. “It’s 1,600 li from here. It took me three hours to fly here.”

Lin Zhu's spiritual energy circulated for eight major cycles, which took about four hours. Now, the sky was beginning to brighten.

He activated his True Self Eye and looked in that direction. A huge orange tree was covered with oranges that were bigger than red lanterns.

It was a hundred feet tall, and its thick roots pierced through the earth, killing a demon.

A large group of flower fairies surrounded Him, but He couldn't protect them all. One of them was snatched away by a one-horned demon and swallowed whole.

"Hahaha, delicious! I can continue my cultivation now. Have a few more."

The Yi Wood spirit screamed in fright, "Grandpa Qiling!"

Enraged, the Qiling Citrus tree trembled, and a single orange leaf fell, shooting out and piercing through the bodies of countless demons and monsters.

Unfortunately, it was a spiritual being, and even though it possessed a spirit, it wasn't very good at fighting. Although the leaves drove back the demons and monsters, they couldn't cause even a single death.

Despite being at the level of a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, he couldn't even unleash the full power of a Mystic Immortal.

His power is used more in the results; each fruit that grows has a certain probability of giving life to flowers and plants.

This is the origin of the name Qiling.

Lin Zhu saw the scene ahead and felt that he could help.

Plant spirits and acquired spiritual roots can purify the innate evil energy in the world, and saving them is meritorious.

It would be bad if the Enlightened Citrus was forced into a desperate situation and actively transformed into a tree demon.

As the saying goes, turning evil makes one a hundred times stronger. At that time, he might break through to the Golden Immortal realm and then fully transform his abilities into attack and defense.

By then, even a Golden Immortal might not be able to defeat the Tree Demon.

"Let's go, let's go save your sisters and your Qiling Grandpa."

As he spoke, he placed the orchid essence on his shoulder.

The orchid spirit said, "I can fly too."

"I don't need you." Lin Zhu's feet moved like lightning, and he appeared several miles away in a flash, his speed was undeniably fast.

The orchid spirit was so frightened that she clung tightly to Lin Zhu's clothes on his shoulder.

At this moment, Lin Zhu was still wearing the Qilin suit, which was just a piece of clothing to him.

"Good, so fast!" The orchid spirit felt that the demons and evil spirits that came to hunt them were not as fast as Lin Zhu.

It was only a little over a thousand miles, and Lin Zhu arrived in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Normally, the arrival of wind and thunder would bring the sound of wind and thunder, but the vibrations were quietly absorbed by Lin Zhu himself, arriving without a sound.

He appeared on top of a Thousand-Faced Demon Spider.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider had a human body, clad in black armor, with colorful patterns on its body outlining human and beast faces, all in great pain.

Each of its eight sharp, slender legs was about two meters long, and it opened its mouth to spray out a spider web that trapped a chrysanthemum fairy.

"Ah, it's Sister White Chrysanthemum!" The orchid spirit exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Zhu was exposed, and the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider turned its head.

But there was only enough time to turn around.

Lin Zhu's speed was too fast. The Dragon Soul Sword swept across, and the flying sword energy decapitated the Thousand-Faced Demon Spider.
