Chapter 151 – This old bastard is cheating!

Li Chang'an looked up at the sky, only to see Lin Jichen once again appearing in mid-air like a ghostly shadow.

Moreover, the Dark Night Sword in his hand was brimming with spiritual energy, showing no signs of mana depletion.

He slashed out a familiar Sword Qi towards him!

"Dizzying Sword Qi!"

Boom!

The Sword Qi descended from the sky, hitting Li Chang'an precisely, stunning him on the spot.

[-1070! Stunned!]

[Stun: Duration 2.5 seconds!]

How does he still have so much mana?

This was the big question mark that popped into Li Chang'an's mind just before he was stunned.

What was even more unbelievable was that this Sword Qi had sliced a long gash across his shoulder, causing blood to flow profusely.

Lin Jichen's Dizzying Sword Qi had also reached a proficient level, dealing 500 points of damage and extending the stun duration to 2.5 seconds.

As soon as the stun was triggered, Lin Jichen, like a shark smelling blood, charged down without hesitation.

Giving no chance at all, his sword techniques were like a storm, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on Li Chang'an's body.

[Critical Hit! -1140!]

[Critical Hit! -1140!]

...

[Poison Sword Qi! -200!]

[Blood Fury! -240! -240!]

When the stun ended, Li Chang'an had eight glaring wounds on his body, all of which were weak point damages.

Previously, Lin Jichen could only swing out eight Sword Qis within 2.5 seconds, but making every strike a Critical Hit was absolutely impossible.

Before, it was entirely up to luck, swinging the sword without any pattern, just aiming for speed to deal the most damage during the stun.

Sometimes, hitting two weak points out of eight strikes was already considered lucky.

However, this time, Lin Jichen seemed to have made a qualitative leap in his swordsmanship.

It was as if he had become one with his sword, wielding it as naturally as his own limb.

When the stun ended, Li Chang'an's health bar had dropped by nearly ten thousand points!

The pain from the wounds felt completely different from before.

Previously, apart from this kid using skills, all other normal attacks felt like scratches.

But this time, Li Chang'an felt excruciating, bone-piercing pain, and his robes were soaked in blood.

Why was there such a huge difference in less than half a minute?

And why did Lin Jichen still have the mana to fly and use skills?

Could it be that he had taken some high-quality elixir?

Looking at Lin Jichen's wounds, they had all healed, and his complexion was rosy, not at all like someone who had been beaten to the brink of death.

[Poisoned: Lose 100 HP per second, lasts for 5 seconds.]

Li Chang'an's Movement Technique was indeed hard to dodge, but after taking a palm strike, Lin Jichen was fine and even smiled at him.

Li Chang'an also noticed that his damage seemed to have decreased a bit.

"You... broke through?"

Li Chang'an finally realized the reason, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Lin Jichen grinned and said, "You're quite smart."

Li Chang'an finally understood why Lin Jichen could regain so much mana so quickly and remain so composed.

It turned out that while he was recovering, Lin Jichen had secretly broken through a realm!

In such a life-and-death battle, this kid had such a mindset. Was it a spur-of-the-moment decision or a long-planned scheme?

It didn't matter anymore.

Li Chang'an had to admit.

Lin Jichen was no ant; this kid's future achievements would far surpass his laughable Golden Core Sect Leader status.

"You've won."

Li Chang'an spoke slowly, then glanced at the corpses of the two Grand Elders on the ground and the increasing number of elite disciples' screams from the mountain below.

He knew he had truly lost, and it was a complete and utter defeat.

Li Chang'an's eyes were filled with desolation, but in the next second, they were filled with madness.

"Even if you've won, I won't let you win so easily! Die with me!"

With that, Li Chang'an suddenly spat out a golden bead from his mouth.

The bead was entirely golden, but it had many impurities, not a pure color.

Lin Jichen recognized it at a glance; it was the Golden Elixir of a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

The Golden Elixir was the source of power for Golden Core Realm cultivators. The stronger the cultivator, the brighter and more translucent the Golden Elixir.

This Golden Elixir had many impurities and black spots.

This indicated that the method the other party used to form the core was likely of the Human Grade.

A Human Grade early-Golden Elixir cultivator had almost beaten him to this state.

He knew that Senior Brother Chu Tianhan of the Sword Sect was a late-Golden Elixir cultivator of the Heavenly Grade.

If he faced him, he probably wouldn't be able to take even one move.

But now was not the time to think about that.

The moment Lin Jichen saw the Golden Elixir, his face changed drastically.

He wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the Golden Elixir.

Then, violent energy overflowed, and a terrifying, destructive spiritual energy filled the entire mountain!

"Damn! This old bastard is cheating!"

Lin Jichen cursed.

The Golden Elixir, self-destructed!
