A silhouette broke out of the furnace that had yet to extinguish. His body was wreathed in lingering flames. It was the physical immortal.
"He's not dead?"
Lin Jin was startled as well. Activating the Heaven and Earth Furnace earlier had only consumed a little of Lin Jin's mana. But for Xiao Huo, it was enough for him to recuperate. However, he didn't expect his sure-kill move to fail to kill the physical immortal. His plan to decapitate him had failed.
"B * stard, how dare you ambush me! I'll tear you apart today!" the physical immortal cursed. The True Immortal Body State was cursing out right now. Even though he wasn't dead yet, he was severely injured. Earlier on, the Heaven and Earth Smelt had nearly burned him to death.
In fact, several of his fingers were burned off and his flesh was almost charred. Many protruding parts of his body had been burned to ashes, including the most important parts of a man.
Even though the physical immortal had cultivated to the realm of rebirth from a single drop of blood and had an immortal body, the humiliation and pain was enough to drive him insane.
Now, the physical immortal was enraged. Ever since he cultivated his supernatural powers and became a true immortal, he had never suffered such humiliation, especially when his opponent was a mere mortal.
A true immortal had been injured by a mere mortal. If word got out, he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
In his rage, the physical immortal punched at Lin Jin at a speed comparable to a flying sword.
Lin Jin was already prepared. The Four Seas Freedom Gourd immediately shot out a stream of water, forming several water walls in front of Lin Jin. At the same time, the Breezy Monster Sword flew out with a whoosh, slashing at the physical immortal with a sword beam.
It only took a split second for both parties to exchange blows.
The physical immortal had the upper hand this time, landing a direct hit on the first water wall. The wall crumbled at once and the force of the punch surged out, shattering the second and third water walls. Fortunately, Lin Jin had covered himself with the ghost-blood beasts beforehand and the water walls had negated ninety percent of the opponent's strength.
The last bit of force landed on Lin Jin.
Even with the protection of the ghost-blood beasts, Lin Jin was sent flying over a hundred feet away. He almost fainted, but he didn't because of the ghost-blood beasts. Also, he spat out a mouthful of blood, almost choking to death.
Too strong.
Lin Jin's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and held on.
He lamented to himself that he was still too weak and that there was a need for him to increase his defensive measures. At present, it would appear that it would not be an issue for him to encounter the average Pseudo Immortals. However, if he were to encounter a True Immortal, it would truly be insufficient.
What Lin Jin didn't know was that if other immortals were to witness this, their jaws would drop.
All of the Immortals knew that in terms of offensive power, True Immortals with fleshly bodies were without a doubt the strongest. This was especially true when it came to close-quarters combat. In terms of punching power, no Immortal could compare to True Immortals with fleshly bodies, let alone take a punch head-on.
Lin Jin could be proud that he managed to survive as a mortal.
On the other side, the True Immortal Fleshly Body had a look of surprise on his face as well. Clearly, he was thinking that his punch should have been enough to kill the other party, but the result was the complete opposite.
In the next instant, the Clearwind Demon Sword slashed over.
The True Immortal's fleshly body immediately swung his arms to block. Clanging sounds, which sounded like metal clashing against metal, could be heard. Sparks flew everywhere. The True Immortal's fleshly body was actually using his bare fists to fight against a magic treasure like the Clearwind Demon Sword.
"As expected of a physical artifact." Lin Jin quickly retreated.
Earlier, Lin Jin had Xiao Huo restrain himself and allow him to slowly recover his strength. After all, he had just used the Heaven and Earth Furnace. But now, Lin Jin had to admit that he had no idea how to deal with this True Immortal Fleshly Body.
To be able to defend against the Heaven and Earth Furnace, this body was too strong. As for the Clearwind Demon Sword, it could only leave a faint white mark on the True Immortal's body.
That was all.
Just then, the other two Hollow Immortals seized the opportunity to ambush the people in the Blood World. To them, these people were mere mortals, ants. They could capture or subdue them first so that they could use them as blackmail against Lin Jin.
Then, they would have the upper hand.
However, they didn't expect Lin Jin to be prepared for this, hiding a spirit eater ghost worm inside the Blood World. One of the Hollow Immortals didn't notice it. When he went over, he reached out and tried to break the Blood World. But the next moment, he shrieked and retreated. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at his palm. A ghost worm had just burrowed into it.
"What's going on? What the hell is this?" The Hollow Immortal panicked. He shouted for his companions to save him while he tried to force the ghost worm out.
But was it that easy to force this thing out?
After all, this was a demonic creature personally refined by Lord Gai, a true immortal of the demonic path. After Lin Jin subdued it and nourished it by the ghost blood beast, its strength increased by another level.
No matter what the Hollow Immortal did, he couldn't force the ghost worm out. However, the other Hollow Immortal was a ruthless character. With quick reflexes and quick reflexes, he invoked a sword spell and used his finger as a sword to cut off the Hollow Immortal's arm.
Ordinary Hollow Immortals couldn't regrow severed limbs. Cutting off an arm was equivalent to crippling a person.
But this was the only way to save the Hollow Immortal.
The Hollow Immortal's face twitched from the pain but he sounded extremely grateful.
"That seems to be the legendary spirit eater ghost worm. This kid is really strange to have such a legendary demonic creature. We need to be careful …" Before the Hollow Immortal could finish, his companion who had his arm cut off let out a blood-curdling scream and turned into a puddle of blood.
The Hollow Immortal died.
"What … What's going on?" The other Hollow Immortal from the Beast God Cult retreated in fright. His arm had clearly been cut off so he should be fine.
Just then, he saw a few ghost worms swimming around in the puddle of blood on the ground. He immediately understood what was going on.
When he grabbed the ghost worm earlier, he didn't try to isolate it. In fact, the moment the ghost worm entered his body, the final outcome was already decided.
No doubt, the horror of the spirit eater ghost worm far exceeded his imagination.
"I mustn't touch this demonic creature!" The Hollow Immortal no longer dared to approach the blood world nor did he have the guts to join the battle between the physical immortal and Lin Jin. After some thought, the Hollow Immortal retreated, probably to report the situation.
Lin Jin didn't have time to stop him.
He had to focus on the physical immortal.
This time, Lin Jin borrowed the power of the Ghost Blood Beast and mixed it with the spirit eater ghost worm to create a rain of blood. As long as it came into contact with the physical immortal, the spirit eater ghost worm would burrow into his flesh. Since Lin Jin and the physical immortal were locked in a fierce battle, it was now a contest of who had more chips and who had better trump cards.
Lin Jin believed that his opponent must have trump cards and tricks he hadn't used yet. Hence, Lin Jin had to seize the initiative.
