Versatile Sword Cultivator

The blue Earth Grade equipment was a bow, and since they were clearing the Secret Realm together, it naturally went to the only archer, Zhou Tiantian.

Zhou Tiantian was overjoyed to receive the bow and repeatedly expressed her thanks.

Although with the emergence of new Secret Realms and the improvement of everyone's realms, Earth Grade equipment was no longer a rare commodity, and its price had dropped significantly.

However, players who could own Earth Grade equipment were still very few.

She had only come to get the first clear victory, but ended up getting an Earth Grade bow for free, which made her ecstatic.

Selling this bow would easily fetch millions without any problem.

The other Earth Grade and Mysterious Grade equipment were distributed by Lin Jichen to everyone.

Including the equipment for sword cultivators, which he gave entirely to Su Wanling.

Generally, he didn't care for ordinary Mysterious and Earth Grade items.

Unfortunately, there were a few pieces of equipment suitable for Gu Qiuxue and Zhao Baige, but due to realm restrictions, they couldn't use them for now and had to keep them aside.

After distributing the equipment, Lin Jichen led everyone to continue their journey.

They ascended a long stone staircase.

At this moment, a large number of demonic cultivator guards emerged, blocking their way.

However, it didn't put much pressure on them. The ten of them worked together and cleared all the demonic cultivator guards.

They acquired another large batch of equipment.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Prison, where a cultivator wielding a meteor hammer stood guard.

This was the third BOSS, and it was a woman.

But her appearance was quite ghastly.

Even a flower would look delicate and pretty compared to her.

"Do all female demonic cultivators look like this? I feel like I've never seen a good-looking demonic cultivator girl," Ren Lan suddenly complained.

Lin Jichen's mind flashed with the image of Luo Muxian. The truth was, there were indeed beautiful demonic cultivators.

But Lin Jichen had no interest in a venomous woman like Luo Muxian. On the contrary, she was his enemy, and he would seek revenge sooner or later.

"This BOSS has high defense, be careful. I'll draw the aggro," Lin Jichen said, charging forward first, slashing with his Qingming Sword, and a high number flew out from Yu Qiuyan's head.

[-4550!]

The girls: "...."

Did this guy misunderstand what 'high defense' means?

High defense and yet a normal attack dealt nearly five thousand damage?

Yu Qiuyan was enraged after being injured, her hands glowing with power.

Jiang Luoyu was about to warn Lin Jichen, but she held back, suddenly wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

Lin Jichen didn't notice. Just as he thought Yu Qiuyan was about to attack, she did something that left him dumbfounded.

Yu Qiuyan, finding her clothes too cumbersome, tore them apart.

Suddenly, Yu Qiuyan stood half-naked before Lin Jichen.

Lin Jichen was stunned on the spot. He remembered this scene from the Snowstorm Prison, Yu Qiuyan's restricted scene.

It was such a minor detail that he had forgotten it over the years, but now he saw it all at once.

If she were a beauty, it would be fine, but her body was more terrifying than a flower. Lin Jichen felt like his eyes were going blind after seeing it.

"Damn, I'm going to get a stye."

Covering his eyes, Lin Jichen said to Ren Lan with a look of dread, "Miss Frenzy, you take over. I can't handle this."

He then ran off, leaving the nine girls laughing, especially Niu Naitang, who laughed the hardest.

To avoid seeing Yu Qiuyan's 'sexy' 'figure' again, Lin Jichen stayed far away, remotely directing the battle.

Ren Lan took Lin Jichen's place, drawing Yu Qiuyan's aggro. Zhou Tiantian shot arrows, and Jiang Luoyu chanted spells.

However, Yu Qiuyan's defense was too formidable. Their skills didn't do much damage, and her health decreased slowly.

Moreover, Yu Qiuyan was strong. As a later stage Golden Elixir BOSS, her meteor hammer forced Ren Lan to retreat repeatedly.

Fortunately, with Ren Lan, Jiang Luoyu, and Zhou Tiantian's strong performance, and the support from Niu Naitang and Gu Qiuxue, they managed to kill the BOSS without any major mishaps.

Lin Jichen no longer had to worry about getting a stye.

They continued their journey, entering the Heavenly Prison.

The prison was enormous, divided into three levels, each filled with numerous cells.

These cells were made of Mysterious Crystal Iron, capable of holding even Elemental Infant Realm cultivators.

Inside the cells were many cultivators, all from righteous sects based on their attire.

This was the reason Lin Jichen and his team had come.

As long as they rescued all the imprisoned righteous cultivators, the Secret Realm would be cleared.

However, to open these cells, they needed keys, which were held by the guards, officers, and BOSSes.

Each level hid a Gathering Spirit Realm BOSS, along with numerous guards and officers.

As soon as the ten of them entered, a large number of demonic cultivator guards attacked, including many mid-Golden Elixir officers and captains.

There were even two later stage Golden Elixir wardens. It truly was Hell difficulty.

With such a setup, each player would need to be at least mid to later stage Golden Elixir to barely hold on.

But among Lin Jichen's team, the highest realms were Jiang Luoyu and Zhou Tiantian, both at later stage Golden Elixir.

Su Wanling was mid-Golden Elixir.

Lin Jichen and Ren Lan were early Golden Elixir, Niu Naitang was at the initial bottleneck of the Crystal Realm, Liu Xiazi was at the later stage of Crystal Formation, Gu Qiuxue and Shi Xiyue were at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and Zhao Baige was even worse, still at Qi Refining...

With such a lineup, claiming to clear the Hell difficulty Snowstorm Prison would be laughable.

However, Lin Jichen didn't find it difficult.

He wielded his sword and quickly positioned himself at the narrowest passage of this level, calling Ren Lan to join him in holding the front line.

Jiang Luoyu and Zhou Tiantian didn't need instructions; they started providing fire support and suppression.

Niu Naitang controlled the enemies, and Gu Qiuxue healed and removed debuffs.

The others dealt with any stragglers.

Despite their seemingly low realms, key members could play crucial roles.

But Hell difficulty wouldn't let them pass so easily.

There were over a thousand guards on this level.

Soon, everyone's mana began to run out.

Except for Lin Jichen, who was still full of energy, casting skills wildly.

He had the Rain of Spiritual Energy and the Thunder Spirit Heart, giving him several times more mana than spell cultivators.

He told the others to rest and recover mana while he continued to fend off the prison army.

But Lin Jichen was only one person. He could protect himself, but he couldn't hold off so many enemies alone.

Many guards bypassed Lin Jichen and attacked the girls behind, disrupting their plans to recover mana.

They had to fend off the enemies and protect the fragile Zhao Baige, Niu Naitang, and Gu Qiuxue.

The situation became chaotic.
