The last stone ape was almost scared out of its wits. Seeing its companions die one by one, it opened its mouth wide and screamed. It turned around and ran. Lin Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This stone ape was a 4,000-year-old spirit beast, yet it was so cowardly that no one could see through it!
"Crash!"
The green gourd vine broke through the stone and quickly bound the stone ape. The strength of the gourd vine was closely related to the strength of Lin Muyu's battle energy. No matter how the stone ape struggled, it couldn't escape the binding of the gourd vine. Lin Muyu's palms were filled with raging flames. She quickly spun the longsword in front of her chest. Streams of flames turned into spiraling fire energy that lingered around the sword body. She quickly broke through the stone ape.
The stone ape's skin was very thick. The normal attack of the Burning Prairie Sword couldn't penetrate it at all. However, it was a piece of cake to use the spiraling power to break through it.
"Bang!"
The stone layer shattered and mixed with blood. The stone ape screamed and left with its companions.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath. She used the Spiraling Break twice and the Xuan Energy of the First Star. She had used about 30% of her battle energy. She didn't know if there were more powerful enemies waiting for her. She had to recover her strength as soon as possible.
Holding the Burning Prairie Sword, Xiao Chen dug out two four-thousand-year-old Stone Ape Spirit Stones from the skull of the Three-headed Stone Ape. This was a type of rock-type Spirit Stone. If used to forge weapons, it would be very good. It would make attacks sturdy, and ordinary opponents would not be able to block it.
Sitting on the ground, she summoned the Martial Spirit Gourd to refine the Spirit of Wild Beasts.
However, what Lin Muyu didn't expect was that the six-layered green gourd seemed to be very picky with its food. It didn't even absorb any Spirit of Wild Beasts before it was full.
After several attempts, he couldn't refine the Spirit of Wild Beasts. He had to give up.
It seemed that Lei Hong's teachings were correct. After stepping into the Heavenly Realm, they had to rely on refining the spirits of wild beasts to increase their cultivation. This was because the power that Heavenly Realm experts needed was Dou Qi, and the spirit of wild beasts contained in the bodies of spiritual beasts was Earth Qi. The two belonged to different natures. If a Heavenly Realm expert wanted to increase his cultivation, he could only rely on his own hard work and cultivation. It was no wonder that Feng Jixing and Qin Lei had not broken through after stepping into the first layer of the Heavenly Realm. With their talent, they should have broken through quickly.
However, Lin Muyu was not anxious. Although his strength was increasing slowly, it was very stable. This was because the mental cultivation method of the Dragon Forging Bone Remnant Scroll could slowly increase his strength. At most, it would take two years, or at least half a year. It was only a matter of time before he stepped into the second tier of the Heavenly Realm. However, he was still a little impatient, especially after he witnessed Xiang Yu's strength.
Xiang Yu was known as the number one person in the younger generation of the Empire. This was definitely not an undeserved reputation. With his strength alone, he could contend against Feng Jixing, Qin Lei, and Lin Muyu. In the end, it could also be considered a draw. This was a little too shocking.
Feng Jixing and Qin Lei, these two young elites, were both dragons among men, while Xiang Yu pretty much belonged to the category of dragons among dragons.
When he thought of Xiang Yu's eyes that were filled with killing intent, Lin Muyu could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Xiang Yu's bloodline originated from Xiang Wentian. He had the right to be unruly. Furthermore, Xiang Yu wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of Feng Jixing. This point also made Lin Muyu worried. Feng Jixing's style of doing things was eclectic and open-minded. The Imperial Guard that he commanded had always been the strongest barrier of the Imperial Capital. If Xiang Yu wanted to obtain the position of the number one person in the Empire's army, he had to get rid of Feng Jixing.
… …
After adjusting his breathing for close to two hours, the Martial Spirit Gourd greedily absorbed the spiritual energy in the surroundings. What made Lin Muyu more gratified was that the spiritual energy in the vicinity of Tong Tian Tower was very abundant. It was even more vigorous than in Lan Yan City. Therefore, the battle energy in his body had mostly recovered. It seemed that coming to Tong Tian Tower was not to throw away his life. Instead, it seemed that he had found the best place to cultivate.
The night was long. He circulated the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll and the Spirit Pulse Technique again and again to temper his body and soul. Meanwhile, the light from the oil lamp above his head flickered faintly.
When dawn was about to break, his spiritual sense once again sensed a powerful force.
Lin Muyu immediately became alert. He raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of his sword. Although the Spirit Pulse Technique was mysterious, it could not extend to the third floor. It seemed that there was something restricting him on the second floor. It was like a barrier.
The night wind blew on the Holy Temple's battle robe. At this moment, how could he care about the cold? His clear eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky as he stared at the stairs in the distance.
However, he did not see anyone. He did not even see a spiritual beast.
Could it be a false alarm?
At this moment, the Spiritual Pulse Technique suddenly pulsated not far away, and a surge of energy leaped up. Lin Mu Yu let out a low grunt, and raised her hand to unleash a blazing hot Dou Qi storm!
"Hua la!"
The Dou Qi swept across the ground and quickly blew out a human figure. As expected, the person who came was invisible. It was a very thin person with two daggers in his hands. The shape of his face looked very twisted and strange. It was like the face of an ugly monkey. His beard was not long, but every strand of it was like iron thorns piercing out of his skin.
Fortunately, the Spirit Pulse Technique could sense him. Otherwise, he would have been ambushed by this person.
"Who are you?" Lin Muyu held the sword in his hand and asked calmly.
The person licked his lips. His expression was indescribably wretched. He said, "It has been many years since someone was sent to Tong Tian Tower. I thought that the Empire was safe and sound. I did not expect that a new person would come today. Hehe, kid, you are only my prey. Wait until you go to hell and ask me who I am!"
As he said that, he suddenly waved his dagger. A milky white light appeared on his arm — Dou Qi!
Another Heaven Realm Ranker!
Although the dagger was short, the Dou Qi that surged out was at least two meters long. Lin Muyu quickly got into position. The wall of the gourd was placed in front of his chest to block the opponent's attack. However, he only felt his blood boil. The strength of the person's Dou Qi was stronger than his!
"Dang dang dang!"
Her dagger was parried by the Burning Prairie Sword several times in a row. Lin Muyu looked for an opportunity and gave a heavy kick. Dou Qi shrouded her combat boots and sent her opponent flying a few steps back. The Burning Prairie Sword flashed and instantly unleashed five slashes. This was the "Speed" Formula of the Imperial Wind Sword Technique. The storm-like attacks could catch the opponent off guard.
However, the thin assassin in front of him was not weak. His eyesight was excellent. With a flick of his wrist, the dagger danced like a butterfly, dispelling all of Lin Muyu's attacks. However, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. He did not think that this kid who had just been sent to Tong Tian Tower would be so strong.
"Pa pa … Pa pa …"
Lightning flashed. Lin Muyu directly threw the Burning Prairie Sword, using the Thunder Sword Technique to attack the opponent.
The assassin was stunned. He had never seen such an attack pattern before. He quickly brandished his dagger to parry the attack. "Clang!" He managed to parry the attack, but his arm suddenly went numb. Lin Muyu's attack was too strong.
"Damn it!"
He cursed and roared in rage: "Ye Sha!"
In the darkness, his Martial Spirit was quickly released. It was like a ball of dark elements surrounding his body. Immediately after, the space seemed to distort and turned into a chaotic darkness. The assassin's figure disappeared again.
Lin Muyu was slightly stunned. She finally understood why this person could become invisible. It turned out that he was relying on the power of his Martial Spirit to cover his eyes.
She quickly activated the Spirit Pulse Technique and sensed every trace of power in the surroundings. As long as the opponent attacked, his aura would definitely fluctuate strongly. At that time, she would not have to worry about not being able to find his position.
However, this assassin seemed to be very patient. He did not appear for a full ten minutes.
Lin Muyu frowned. She could not help but feel a little anxious.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in front of her chest. The opponent's two daggers had joined together and launched an attack. It was similar to Lin Muyu's Fire Sword Technique. His daggers were surrounded by a spiral of dark energy, which quickly broke through the Black Tortoise Shell and Dragon Scale Wall. So strong!
The defensive layer was broken through. There was no way to dodge!
Either his heart would be pierced, or he would choose to attack other parts of his body. In a flash, Lin Muyu reacted. She moved half a meter with the Star Steps. In the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. A dagger had pierced through her arm and she was nailed to the stone wall.
"Hey!"
The opponent showed an ugly smile. "I've already said, you are my prey. Any resistance is futile."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu smiled coldly. The power of her Martial Spirit spread out in an instant. Vines extended from the ground. It was another Entanglement ability, which quickly bound the opponent's feet.
"Damn it!?" The assassin glanced at the vines on his feet and said, "How dare you show off in front of me with such insignificant skills?!"
He stomped his foot and unleashed his combat energy, shattering countless vines.
However, when he looked up, he saw a calabash spitting poison at him!
"Qi Armor!"
He let out a low grunt, and his Qi Armor blew away the poisonous liquid. However, at this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. It was Lin Muyu's full force punch.
Two Luminaries Demonic Dance!
With the sound of ribs breaking, the assassin retreated with a pale face and fell to the ground. The power of the Two Luminaries Demonic Dance was so powerful that he could not withstand it at all.
"Ah …"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath. She endured the pain and pulled out the dagger from her arm. She looked at it. Fortunately, there was no poison on it. She quickly took out a bottle of healing medicine and poured it on the dagger. She then looked at the assassin who was struggling on the ground and said, "Do you still think I'm your prey now?"
The assassin exhaled more than he inhaled. He was about to die, but he still grinned and said, "You … So what if you kill me? The Blood Lord will not let you go. Heh … heh …"
"Blood Lord?"
Lin Muyu frowned. "Who is the Blood Lord?"
The assassin did not speak. He tilted his head and died decisively.
Lin Muyu was filled with hatred. It seemed that this invisible assassin was not the leader of the upper floors. It was already a little difficult for her to deal with this assassin. If the Blood Lord came personally, would she still have a chance?
She bent down and searched the assassin's body. She found two diamond coins and a spiritual stone. She felt the spiritual power of the stone. It should be a fire spiritual stone that was around 5000 years old. Not bad.
