The Breezy Monster had obtained all of the Unending Nature Landscape's Divine Sword Scroll. With its current sharpness, even a true immortal would find it difficult to defend against it. It could even kill a true immortal. With Laojun's Cursed Sword Token, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. It was no wonder the Breezy Monster's sword energy could break through the Heaven Mending Orb's spider web.
Facing the sword energy, God Yan didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his deformed arm to block it.
With the sound of metal clashing, the sword energy shattered.
It was a crushing defeat.
The Breezy Monster's sword energy couldn't harm God Yan's sage body at all.
Fortunately, Lin Jin was aware of this. He had only done this to test the waters. He had also secretly flicked out his needles to check on God Yan.
Lin Jin's plan was simple.
Regardless of whether or not he was a sage, just based on God Yan's current appearance, even if he had the body of a sage, those who didn't know better would assume he was a monster cultivator who hadn't even learned how to transform. Moreover, he was a snake demon, a half-human, half-beast monster.
Since he was a beast, the Museum of Deadly Beasts should be able to identify him.
Lin Jin used his needles to assess God Yan's current condition and if there were any weaknesses he could exploit. It would be great if he could identify them, but if not, he wouldn't lose anything.
He still had to fight.
Of course, God Yan was oblivious to Lin Jin's thoughts. The latter looked smug. "What can a mere sword energy do to me? Lin Jin, you've brought about your own destruction today. Don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Having said that, he pointed a finger and the Rank 8 heaven mending spider immediately pounced.
Although Lin Jin's strength had skyrocketed, the Rank 8 heaven mending spider was still difficult to deal with. It was like a carefree immortal. If Lin Jin was alone, he would have to use Xiao Huo to deal with it.
A Rank 8 versus a Rank 8.
Otherwise, even true immortal experts like Sage Miao Yan and Sage Mystic Moon wouldn't be a match for the heaven mending spider.
If that was the case, Lin Jin's strongest combat power would be restrained. If Lin Jin had to fight against God Lord Ma, the situation would be difficult to predict. God Lord Ma's actual combat power was obviously not weaker than the Heaven Mending Spider's. Lin Jin was much weaker, and his chances of winning would be extremely slim.
Fortunately, Lin Jin had brought along Old Lord, a top-notch expert from the immortal era. Although Old Lord was now a mortal without immortal powers, Old Lord's Rank 8 green carp was a bona fide carefree immortal. Especially after transforming into a dragon, the green carp's combat strength surpassed that of a carefree immortal. Back then, Old Lord even wanted to use the Rank 8 green carp's transformation to challenge the immortal devouring beast.
This was not only because the Grand Supreme Elder wanted revenge, but also because the Black Carp's transformation into a dragon had indeed given him enough confidence.
Hence, there was no need for Lin Jin to speak. Old Lord had already used his trump card. The large green fish flew out and transformed into a huge green dragon to stop the sky mending spider.
"Thank you, Old Lord." Lin Jin expressed his gratitude while Old Lord chuckled. "A sage's body isn't easy to deal with. Young friend, don't be careless."
Lin Jin nodded.
By keeping the sky mending spider busy, God Lord Ma would have no more claws and wings. If they were to fight again, Lin Jin would have to fight them himself.
As for Patriarch Xue Pao who was hiding behind, Lin Jin had already noticed him.
However, things were different now. In the past, Lin Jin couldn't deal with Patriarch Xue Pao. But now, Patriarch Xue Pao was no longer a threat. If God Lord Ma wasn't around, Lin Jin could kill Patriarch Xue Pao in minutes.
Hence, Patriarch Xue Pao's luck was pretty good as he managed to avert disaster several times.
But today, Lin Jin wasn't going to let God Lord Ma go so he wouldn't let Patriarch Xue Pao escape again. No matter what, he had to get rid of these hidden threats.
Otherwise, they would only be trouble in the future.
Lin Jin was tired of these troubles and potential threats. Today, he would resolve everything.
The needle couldn't pierce through God Lord Ma's sage body but it was enough to complete the appraisal. After reading the Museum of Deadly Beasts' description, Lin Jin had an idea.
His guess was right. Sages were beasts too.
However, they were unique. Back in the day, sages could maintain their serpent form and could even transform into humans. It was said that after their cultivation was successful, they were reborn and maintained a half-human, half-snake form. What others didn't know was that according to the Museum of Deadly Beasts, the sage's body had undergone more than nine thousand rebirths before he could achieve his current appearance and powers.
Each rebirth required at least a hundred years.
No doubt, Lin Jin had no chance of winning against a sage. Forget him, even the powerful Old Lord who could rival an immortal emperor in power back then was no match for this sage.
Fortunately, Lin Jin wasn't facing that sage but God Lord Ma who had borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao's cornerstone fragment to forcefully fuse with half of the sage's body.
To put it bluntly, God Lord Ma wasn't in a stable state and the amount of sage power he could use was extremely limited. He might not even be able to use ten percent of his power.
With this, Lin Jin still had a chance of winning.
"Xiao Huo, go!"
With a plan in mind, Lin Jin wasted no time. Xiao Huo immediately transformed into a blazing flame and pounced at God Lord Ma.
The latter sneered and a golden light emitted from his body. His body instantly doubled in size and in a flash, he was right in front of Lin Jin.
His speed was so fast that no one could react in time.
Even Lin Jin was startled. Looking up, he saw God Lord Ma's massive claw coming for his head.
Fortunately, Xiao Huo was fast enough and was connected to Lin Jin through a blood contract. Using the remaining flames in Lin Jin's body, Xiao Huo surged upward and morphed into a huge flaming wolf head that lunged at God Lord Ma's claw.
The fight was a fierce one.
The wolf head's attack sent God Lord Ma flying more than a hundred feet away, saving Lin Jin from danger. However, God Lord Ma reached out and grabbed the flaming wolf head's neck.
This could be considered Xiao Huo's doppelganger, which was completely made up of flames. Flames were originally formless, like flowing water or air, and could not be grabbed at at all. However, God Lord Yan's claw seemed to have a demonic nature, and it actually grabbed the Fire Wolf Beast doppelganger and crushed it directly.
With a crack, the flames shattered and scattered on the ground. The resulting shockwave forced everyone to retreat. Lin Jin used the force to leap backward, moving several hundred feet away.
Although Xiao Huo's clone was far inferior to his original form, it definitely had combat strength surpassing that of a true immortal. Yet, God Lord Ma easily crushed it to death. This was enough to show the might of a sage. Although God Lord Ma could only borrow a small amount of power, it was still not an easy opponent.
During this time, Xiao Huo's original form had arrived. The next moment, he was engaged in a fierce battle with God Lord Ma. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand.
Lin Jin and the others retreated once more to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. At the same time, the fact that Lin Jin was almost 'beheaded' by God Lord Ma scared the immortals out of their wits. Reverend Miao Yan and Reverend Mystic Moon immediately stood by Lin Jin's sides like guardians, guarding against another sneak attack.
