Versatile Sword Cultivator

"Little Wan, your task is to go and open the door to the first prison cell..."

Lin Jichen's words suddenly got stuck halfway, and he instantly wanted to slap himself.

He had forgotten something. With Conceal and Shadow combined with Mountain River Step, he could easily open the first cell without alerting the three BOSSes!

Why did he have to call out the female ghost?

This was really like taking off your pants to fart—completely unnecessary!

Lin Jichen cursed himself inwardly for being an idiot.

If he had remembered he had this trick up his sleeve, why call out the female ghost and make everyone think the wrong thing about him, almost ruining his reputation?

But on second thought, they would find out sooner or later anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether it was sooner or later.

Moreover, they indeed needed Little Wan to help in the fight here. After all, among the ten people in his team, those with combat power were few and far between.

Lin Jichen assigned the task to Little Wan, who accepted without hesitation. She took the key and vanished into the void, sneaking towards the prison.

Lin Jichen and the women watched from behind.

Little Wan successfully reached the first cell, and the three BOSSes seemed unaware.

Delighted, Little Wan took out the key to open the door.

At this moment, the bearded elder holding a staff suddenly opened his sharp eyes and roared, "A mere ghost dares to sneak into the prison!"

Little Wan trembled in fear, dropping the key.

"Not good, we've been discovered!"

"How did they find out?"

The women were shocked.

Lin Jichen said helplessly, "This spell-casting BOSS has extremely high mental power; ghosts can't hide from him."

"What do we do now?"

"No choice, I'll go up first to buy some time. Miss Frenzy, come with me!"

Lin Jichen drew his sword and charged towards the three BOSSes.

Ren Lan immediately followed.

The others, seeing this, also sprang into action.

The bearded elder threw a fireball at Little Wan.

Ghosts fear fire the most. Little Wan was terrified, tears welling up in her eyes.

Just then—

Swish!

A figure flashed by like lightning, casually slicing the fireball apart with a sword.

"Just keep opening the door."

Leaving these words, Lin Jichen appeared in front of the three BOSSes.

Seeing a living person intrude into their territory, the three Gathering Spirit Realm BOSSes moved simultaneously.

Lin Jichen quickly summoned Panda Xiong to share the burden.

As he summoned Panda Xiong, the three demonic cultivator BOSSes attacked simultaneously!

The bearded elder chanted a spell, sending countless fireballs raining down. Meanwhile, the gray-robed bald man closed in on Lin Jichen, throwing a powerful punch like a tsunami!

The remaining fat man, wielding a long blade, moved as fast as lightning, his blade crackling with the Power of Thunder, striking down fiercely!

In an instant, Lin Jichen became the target of all, surrounded.

Seeing this, Lin Jichen dared not be careless. Using Phantom Step, he flashed out of the encirclement, simultaneously drawing an arc with his Qingming Sword, Sword Qi like frost, soaring into the sky!

The Frost Moon Slash's Sword Qi hit the three with a tricky angle.

[-4850! Triggered Frozen, Slowed!]

[-1350! Triggered Slowed!]

[-1750! Triggered Slowed!]

Different damage numbers appeared on the three BOSSes, and their attribute panels were revealed.

Except for the spell-caster being slightly weaker, the fist and blade cultivators were both tough opponents.

Lin Jichen took advantage of the spell-caster being frozen and immediately flew over to try to take him out.

Unexpectedly, the three BOSSes coordinated perfectly. The gray-robed bald man shouted, his whole body shooting towards Lin Jichen like a cannonball, his fist surging with mana.

"True Dragon Demon Hand!"

A dragon's roar echoed through the prison, a black True Dragon roaring out, its wild mana transforming, as if a real dragon had descended!

Ti Wushen swung his blade from a distance, the blade turning into a wave of air, slashing towards Lin Jichen.

"Setting Sun Divine Slash!"

The blade Qi was like a setting sun, flashing with golden light, carrying destructive power as it chased Lin Jichen.

Lin Jichen was too focused on taking out the bearded spell-caster, failing to dodge in time, only managing to avoid the fist cultivator's attack, but still taking a hit from the blade Qi.

[-6122!]

Hiss!

Lin Jichen couldn't help but gasp. Ti Wushen's strength over a thousand was fully displayed in the damage.

This was even after Lin Jichen had changed into two pieces of the Soul Heaven set, greatly increasing his defense. Otherwise, this slash would have taken over ten thousand of his HP.

Fortunately, Ren Lan and the others had arrived.

Ren Lan shouted, activating the Soul of the Body Cultivator, and engaged Tie Yehai in battle.

"Sis, Zhou Tiantian, help Ren Lan deal with this fist cultivator. Be careful not to let him get close to you, just attack from a distance."

Lin Jichen began to command, remaining calm even in the rush.

"Luo Yu, protect Little Wan as she opens the cell door. Tang Tang, provide control. Liu Xiazi, Shi Xiyue, you protect her."

"Understood!" The women received their orders and began to act.

The bearded spell-caster, now free from the freezing effect, quickly moved out of Lin Jichen's attack range, hiding behind Ti Wushen and starting to chant a spell.

Lin Jichen didn't want to give him a chance to cast a skill, so he activated his mana.

"Wind Thunder Sword!"

His figure flashed, darting past Ti Wushen, closing in on the bearded spell-caster Fei Baihe.

With a thrust of his Qingming Sword, it was like a dragon striking.

[-5544!]

Fei Baihe screamed, flying backward, his spell chant interrupted.

Lin Jichen sneered. Letting a spell-caster cast skills in front of him? Not a chance.

In his previous life, he had suffered countless assassination attempts as a spell-caster. In this life, he would repay them all!

Ti Wushen roared in anger, flying up with his dark blade, the blade Qi surging like a raging wave!

Lin Jichen didn't want to get entangled with him, using the passive speed boost of Wind Thunder Sword to dodge.

At the same time, he kept closing in on Fei Baihe, attacking and moving simultaneously.

Unfortunately, Tie Yehai broke free from Ren Lan's entanglement and immediately came to support, temporarily forcing Lin Jichen to retreat.

From this, it was clear that the three BOSSes had rich combat experience and excellent coordination.
