Chapter 197 Divine Master Mulan! My Stepping Stone to Fame!
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Master Zhong flew into a rage, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
He, a newly promoted Divine Master, was so looked down upon by a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
Without saying another word, he slapped the two spirit beast pouches at his waist with both hands.
A burst of light shone from the bag's opening, accompanied by two deafening tiger roars.
Two ferocious beasts, each the size of a calf, with silver stripes on their backs and a single horn on their heads, roared out. They were none other than the infamous "Sky Tiger Beasts" of the Mulan Grassland, their auras both reaching the seventh level.
"roar!"
As soon as the two Heavenly Tiger Beasts appeared, they locked onto Lin Chuan. Their eyes flashed with ferocity, and they opened their blood-red maws at the same time, each spewing out a dazzling golden ball of light the size of a human head. Inside the ball of light, runes flowed faintly, carrying a sharp Geng metal aura. They tore through the air and slammed towards Lin Chuan from the left and right.
"Two mere level seven demonic beasts dare to be so presumptuous."
A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes. With a slight thought, dozens of condensed golden sword lights instantly split off from the Great Geng Sword Formation.
Like two lithe golden snakes, they precisely met the two golden orbs of light.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
With two soft sounds, the seemingly powerful golden sphere of light was easily cleaved like paper before the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword Light, which was infused with Geng essence and was incomparably sharp, and its spiritual light dissipated.
The sword light, its momentum undiminished, continued its fierce slash towards the two Heavenly Tiger Beasts.
However, the two Heavenly Tiger Beasts seemed to be quite intelligent. Upon seeing this, they were not alarmed or flustered. Instead, a hint of anthropomorphic cunning flashed in their eyes.
Just as the sword light was about to strike, his figure blurred eerily in place for a moment, then vanished instantly. The next instant, he appeared in the air dozens of feet away, narrowly avoiding the deadly sword light.
"Oh? Short-distance teleportation?"
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, showing no panic. While this kind of teleportation talent was indeed troublesome...
However, it is not without a solution, especially for someone with his powerful divine sense and speed.
The light from the teleportation shuttle beneath his feet flickered, and his figure became elusive. At the same time, a seemingly inconspicuous gray cloak quietly appeared on his shoulder—the Shadow Cloak!
This treasure activates silently, and combined with his divine sense, which far surpasses that of others of the same level, it can greatly interfere with the enemy's divine sense lock-on.
The next instant, Lin Chuan's figure faded and disappeared like a bubble, and his aura vanished instantly, as if he had never existed.
"Um?"
Master Zhong's pupils shrank suddenly; he had momentarily lost his focus on Lin Chuan!
He hurriedly released his divine sense to scan, but Lin Chuan seemed to have merged into the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations and light and shadow of the battlefield, making him difficult to catch.
"Not good!" Master Zhong's mind raced, and he immediately tried to recall the two Heavenly Tiger Beasts for defense. However, it was too late!
Right next to one of the Heavenly Tiger Beasts, a very faint ripple appeared in the void, and Lin Chuan's figure appeared like a ghost, standing almost face to face with the beast!
He could even smell the strong, fishy stench emanating from the monster.
The monster seemed to sense the deadly danger, its eyes filled with terror. It tried to teleport again, but at such close range, how could Lin Chuan give it another chance?
"cut!"
With a soft shout, several extremely refined golden sword lights burst forth from Lin Chuan's sleeves, slicing through the tiger beast's neck and abdomen like hot knives cutting through butter!
Blood splattered as the level seven demonic beast, renowned for its speed and teleportation abilities, was cleaved into pieces before it could even utter a mournful cry, its massive body falling from the sky amidst a shower of blood.
The other Heavenly Tiger Beast let out a terrified roar. Master Zhong was both shocked and furious. He hurriedly made a hand seal, and a blood-red light rope rolled out, forcibly pulling the surviving Heavenly Tiger Beast back to his side and stuffing it into his spirit beast pouch.
His gaze toward Lin Chuan was filled with disbelief and solemnity.
The opponent's speed of escape was unpredictable, his attacks were ruthless, and the power of his magical weapons far exceeded his expectations!
"You're asking for it!"
Master Zhong was consumed by rage; the loss of a rare level-seven spirit beast pained him deeply.
He clasped his hands together, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fluctuate violently. A blood-red giant hand, a hundred feet in size and as solid as a substance, appeared out of thin air. Its five fingers were spread wide, and it grabbed down fiercely towards Lin Chuan with a terrifying power that could capture mountains!
This is a high-level spiritual technique of Mulan, powerful enough to crush ordinary mountains.
"A trivial skill."
Lin Chuan remained calm as the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords resonated in unison, and the Great Geng Sword Formation was fully activated. Hundreds of golden sword lights no longer dispersed but merged like a well-trained military formation, transforming into a golden sword river that stretched across the sky, surging upwards to meet the blood-red giant hand head-on!
"Sizzle—!!!"
A piercing tearing sound resounded through the sky. The seemingly invincible blood-red giant hand, under the impact of the golden sword river, was like flesh and blood thrown into a meat grinder, cut, decomposed, and shredded by countless sharp and unparalleled sword lights! In the blink of an eye, the blood-red giant hand collapsed and dissipated into a sky full of blood-red spiritual light.
In a head-on clash, Lin Chuan, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was not at all at a disadvantage against Zhong Shenshi, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and even seemed to have the upper hand!
"Even your Master Zhong of Mulan was no match for me and was forced to retreat by me. Do you think you, a newly promoted late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, are much stronger than that old fox?"
Lin Chuan stood on his sword, his robes fluttering, his tone undisguisedly sarcastic, his voice clearly reaching the ears of Master Zhong and the two sides engaged in battle nearby.
"What?!"
Master Zhong was deeply shaken, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his face.
When Master Zhong returned from Huanglong Mountain, he only said that Lin Chuan was a man of extraordinary supernatural powers, and that he was defeated by him by relying on his powerful magic weapons and spiritual milk.
But the word "invincible" was never mentioned!
Could it be that Master Zhong suffered a hidden loss at the hands of this person, or even... was no match for him?
This thought sent a chill down his spine.
But now he was caught in a dilemma, and his dignity as a divine master would not allow him to back down.
He roared and summoned his two most treasured ancient artifacts: a blood-red halberd and a bronze shield, and charged at Lin Chuan once more.
However, the people of Mulan are poor in resources, and their magical artifact crafting skills are not as good as those of the people of Tiannan.
Although Master Zhong's two ancient treasures are quite extraordinary, how can they compare to Lin Chuan's seventy-two natal flying swords, which were infused with Geng essence and meticulously cultivated for many years?
After only three to five rounds of fighting, the blood-red halberd was slashed open by several cunning sword lights, its spiritual power greatly diminished.
The bronze shield, under the relentless barrage of sword light, groaned under the strain, its surface cracking like a spiderweb.
"This...this is impossible!" Master Zhong was utterly horrified. His magical treasures were so fragile in the face of the opponent's sword formation!
A shadow of death instantly loomed over my heart.
"It's time!"
A cold glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes; his killing intent was resolute.
Today's battle is the perfect opportunity for Lin Chuan to make a name for himself throughout the south and establish his unparalleled reputation!
What could better demonstrate strength than slaying a Mulan Divine Master?
His mind sank into his sea of consciousness, mobilizing his vast and boundless divine power. At the center of his brow, a faint, almost imperceptible silver light flickered.
The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects!
Eighty-one invisible and extremely refined divine consciousness spikes silently emerged from between the eyebrows, converging and compressing in an instant.
Finally, it reformed and took shape again, transforming into a sword that was only an inch long, completely transparent, and seemed to exist in the world as if it did not exist!
This sword ignores physical defense.
Ignore the protective aura.
It is a deadly secret technique that directly attacks the soul!
