Versatile Sword Cultivator

Lin Jichen had encountered a Formation Master at the Gathering Spirit Realm during his previous life in the Elemental Infant Realm.

The opponent had used just two formations to render him powerless, ultimately killing him with ease.

Since then, Lin Jichen had developed a keen interest in formations.

He scoured various formation diagrams, knowing full well that he had no money, but he wanted to understand this field, to know his enemy and himself, so he wouldn't be helpless if he encountered such a situation again.

Therefore, Lin Jichen could recognize ordinary formations at a glance.

The Wind Ghost Formation wasn't difficult; it was a Spirit Grade formation. As long as one entered the formation and dealt with a Wind Ghost King inside, it could be broken.

However, entering the formation wasn't easy; it required specific movements to avoid triggering the formation.

After so many years, Lin Jichen had somewhat forgotten the exact steps for the Wind Ghost Formation, so he had to rely on his memory and start exploring.

Whoosh!

After just a few steps, Lin Jichen was blown back and collided with Zhou Tiantian.

Lin Jichen felt his back hit something soft and plush, causing his thoughts to wander.

Zhou Tiantian let out a muffled groan, clutching her ample chest, her face flushed.

Lin Jichen gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's... it's okay," Zhou Tiantian replied shyly.

Lin Jichen continued to move forward, probing again.

Before long, he was blown back again.

This time, he collided with Liu Xiazi.

Liu Xiazi was unscathed, and Lin Jichen felt nothing, coughing awkwardly.

Thus, Lin Jichen kept experimenting and kept getting blown away.

Except for Niu Naitang, who was protected by everyone, almost all the women had been bumped into by him.

"This guy, I seriously suspect he's doing it on purpose," Ren Lan said, covering her chest and blushing. She was the one who had just been bumped into.

Seeing everyone holding back their laughter while looking at her, Ren Lan threatened, "If he does it again, I'll kick him back myself."

It seemed Lin Jichen heard this, as he walked down this time.

"I've broken the formation, let's go."

After saying this, Lin Jichen acted nonchalant and quickly led the way, afraid everyone would settle scores with him later.

The ten of them climbed the stone steps again, and sure enough, the eerie wind disappeared, and they successfully reached the second level of the prison.

Unlike the first level, which was swarming with guards, the second level had only one guard—a man with a giant hammer, nearly bald, standing motionless at the entrance.

The moment someone stepped onto the second level, his eyes snapped open, flashing with a sharp light!

In an instant, the man vanished from his spot, leaping high into the air, and the giant hammer in his hand came crashing down!

"Dodge!"

Lin Jichen immediately pushed Su Wanling and Liu Xiazi aside while dodging himself.

Boom!

The giant hammer smashed into the ground, like Mount Tai pressing down, causing the entire second level of the prison to tremble.

The extremely hard black iron stone ground was smashed into a huge pit.

If a person were hit, they'd be turned into a meat patty.

Hammer Cultivators, the profession with the most visual impact and violent artistry.

Swinging a hammer and smashing people like crazy was immensely satisfying.

Unfortunately, if the enemy had one, it was quite painful.

Although no one was directly hit, the aftershocks upon landing still caused everyone minor injuries.

Ren Lan, unwilling to accept this, charged forward and landed a heavy punch on the man's face.

[-1500!]

It didn't break his defense, only dealing skill damage.

The man countered with a hammer swing!

Ren Lan couldn't dodge in time and had to raise her arm to block, feeling a paralyzing sensation in her arm as she was sent flying.

[-4822!]

Ren Lan sat on the ground, frustrated, "How can his weapon be so big and still deal such high damage?"

Everyone looked at the fifth BOSS's panel.

[Guard: Tu Ganglie]

[Level: BOSS Grade]

[Heart Protection: 80]

[Tenacity: 20%]

[Physical Resistance: 10%]

Seeing the BOSS's attributes, all the women smiled bitterly. These stats were too strong; it seemed unbeatable~

"No wonder one hammer took so much of my health. I'm a Body Cultivator and still lost so much health. You all better be careful. Someone as small as Tang Tang might be gone with one hit!" Ren Lan joked bitterly.

Niu Naitang protested, "Hmph, don't underestimate her. Tang Tang won't be taken out by one hit."

With that, Niu Naitang chanted a spell, her Chess Sect robe billowing in the wind, her young face showing determination.

Soon, countless black and white chess pieces appeared around her.

Niu Naitang pointed with her small hand and shouted, "Seal!"

A large number of chess pieces flew towards Tu Ganglie, surrounding him.

Tu Ganglie's body froze, unable to move.

Niu Naitang clapped her hands and laughed, "Brother Lin, go! He's immobilized for three seconds!"

Lin Jichen wouldn't miss this opportunity, charging up his Dizzying Sword Qi.

But before he could finish charging, Tu Ganglie had already regained his movement and countered with a hammer swing, sending Lin Jichen flying!

[-5250!]

Lin Jichen got up from the ground, looking a bit disheveled, and said, "His tenacity is high, reducing the duration of control skills."

Tu Ganglie attacked again, charging with his giant hammer, exuding immense pressure.

This was something other professions couldn't provide.

Su Wanling and the others swallowed nervously, feeling tense.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

Jiang Luoyu remained calm, chanting a skill and launching it at the opponent.

Unfortunately, she only dealt skill damage, and Tu Ganglie didn't even bother to dodge, charging straight into the crowd, swinging his hammer.

In an instant, the women scattered in panic, dodging clumsily.

Seeing this, Lin Jichen's eyes flashed with killing intent, a nameless fury rising in his heart.

Just as Tu Ganglie was in the midst of his rampage, Lin Jichen suddenly appeared in front of him, slashing a Sword Qi directly at Tu Ganglie's chest.

[Wind Thunder Sword! -3650!]

Tu Ganglie roared in anger, locking onto Lin Jichen and swinging his giant hammer.

Under the passive effect of Wind Thunder Sword, Lin Jichen's speed increased significantly, easily dodging the hammer's attack.

Turning around, he unleashed several more sword strikes, leaving Tu Ganglie covered in wounds.

Enraged, Tu Ganglie's mana surged, and his giant hammer glowed with a dark light!

"Annihilation Hammer!"

At this moment, Lin Jichen's Wind Thunder Sword passive ended, and his speed returned to normal.

Tu Ganglie raised the dark hammer and hurled it at Lin Jichen.

The dark hammer, like a small mountain, came crashing down on Lin Jichen, locking onto him, making escape impossible.

Boom!

The hammer struck, and Lin Jichen spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling the heavy blow.

[-7544! Paralysis triggered!]

[Paralysis: Unable to use basic attacks, lasts 10 seconds.]

Damn it!

Lin Jichen cursed inwardly. At this moment, Gu Qiuxue's umbrella sword danced, channeling a large amount of spiritual energy into him.

[Holy Spirit Infusion! +3500!]

"Little Chen, go for it~"

Encouraged by Gu Qiuxue, Lin Jichen smiled confidently.

"Sis, watch me take him down!"

With that, Lin Jichen's expression turned serious.
