Just as Lin Ke'er was about to grab that saber-shaped Spirit Treasure, an ice-blue short sword blocked her way.
At that moment, most of Mu Zi's attention was being used to hold back those dozen or so Completion experts, so she could only use the Ice Soul Sword to stop Lin Ke'er.
"Sister, you don't have much strength left to make a move right now, do you?" a crisp, pleasant voice rang beside Mu Zi's ear.
"Why don't we each take a step back? I'll only take this one Spirit Treasure. The rest are all yours."
Mu Zi was nearly sixteen now, and by this point, she had completely shed her childishness. She looked no different from a young woman in the prime of youth.
If she had not mentioned it herself, others would have found it almost impossible to guess that she was only fifteen.
On top of that, Mu Zi was tall and upright, much taller than Lin Ke'er, which led the latter to misjudge her age.
Mu Zi did not respond to Lin Ke'er, but the ice-blue short sword still hovering in front of the latter clearly conveyed her stance.
Seeing her so cold and heartless, Lin Ke'er could not help feeling a little annoyed. This was clearly not taking her seriously at all.
Even if you were powerful, right now, you had already been tied down by so many experts and most of your focus was occupied. You were not in peak condition.
In that state, did you really still think you could stop me?
Lin Ke'er gave a cold laugh, then used her Spiritual Power to drive the "Ice Shatter Sword" toward the ice-blue short sword in front of her.
"A Spirit Treasure?"
Mu Zi's eyes narrowed slightly. She likewise controlled her sword with Spiritual Power and sent it to meet the Ice Shatter Sword.
"Clang! Clang!"
The two ice-blue light swords collided again and again in midair, and clear ringing sounds immediately echoed through the air.
The two beautiful women faced each other in the air, their lovely gazes crossing as fierce sparks flashed between them.
After they exchanged blows for a short while, the Ice Soul Sword began to fall short. Under the pressure of Lin Ke'er's Ice Shatter Sword, it was forced to retreat again and again.
The corners of Lin Ke'er's lips lifted slightly, and she gave Mu Zi a smug smile.
Both of their Spiritual Power levels were within the range of a Three-Mark Symbol Master. Although Mu Zi's mental control was extremely outstanding, Lin Ke'er was also very talented in this aspect, even quite a bit stronger than that fellow Lin Dong.
And what Lin Ke'er was controlling was a true Spirit Treasure, far stronger than Mu Zi's Ice Soul Sword, so this outcome was not really unexpected.
In fact, if Lin Ke'er had not deliberately held back, perhaps the Ice Soul Sword would have been defeated long ago.
"Sister, stop blocking me."
Lin Ke'er smiled as she looked at Mu Zi, feeling that she had already taken control of the situation.
Mu Zi finally reacted. She chuckled softly, shook her head at Lin Ke'er, then stretched out one slender finger.
Her jade-like finger tapped lightly, and a deep chill surged from her fingertip. After crossing a stretch of distance, it landed on the steadily retreating Ice Soul Sword.
In an instant, the ice-blue sword body was dyed with a blue-black hue. After absorbing this chill, the Ice Soul Sword's power immediately soared, stopping its decline.
Seeing this, Lin Ke'er instantly felt a trace of unease in her heart.
This familiar change was something she had only just witnessed not long ago. She had not expected that it would be her turn to experience it now.
"Sis—"
Just as Lin Ke'er was about to speak, she was horrified to see the talisman treasure opposite her bloom with blue-black light and press down toward her Ice Shatter Sword.
The offensive reversed in an instant.
This time, the one being suppressed into continuous retreat was actually Lin Ke'er's Spirit Treasure.
Lin Ke'er went all out, and powerful Spiritual Power surged from her Niwan Palace, stirring up an invisible fierce wind around her.
At the same time, she no longer held back. The Yuan Power of Yuan Dan Realm Completion also poured into the Ice Shatter Sword.
However, even though she used every trick she had, she still found it difficult to withstand Mu Zi's short sword.
"I'm not fighting anymore! Not fighting!"
Lin Ke'er suddenly pulled back and no longer clashed head-on. She stood not far away, staring closely at Mu Zi, her eyes full of vigilance.
"What a freak!" Lin Ke'er grumbled inwardly.
While splitting her focus to deal with more than a dozen Completion experts, Mu Zi still had the spare strength to force her back. Such strength made Lin Ke'er shake her head again and again.
She could not afford to provoke her, absolutely could not!
Wasn't it just an Intermediate Spirit Treasure? She did not want it anymore!
Lin Ke'er's father was a Creation Realm expert, and even a powerful elder with real authority in the Lin Clan. How could she lack Spirit Treasures?
Once she broke through to the Shaping Realm, an Intermediate Spirit Treasure would naturally be hers. There was no need to insist on fighting this freak Mu Zi for one.
Of course, Lin Ke'er chose not to haggle with Mu Zi also because she found her pleasing to the eye.
If the one who had snatched her Spirit Treasure had been a burly brute with a face full of fierce flesh, then Lin Ke'er perhaps would not have been so magnanimous.
Seeing Lin Ke'er retreat in the face of difficulty, Mu Zi also stopped pursuing her. Instead, she quickly turned around and reached out to grab a Spirit Treasure.
The moment that Spirit Treasure was caught in Mu Zi's hand, it immediately struggled. However, under her suppression, it soon lost the strength to resist and was stored inside her Cosmos Sack.
Mu Zi repeated the same method, and before long, she had dealt with the other five Spirit Treasures.
However, after this delay, quite a few more people streamed into the Great Hall one after another.
These people witnessed the scene of Mu Zi collecting the Spirit Treasures, and all of them revealed greed in their eyes as they surrounded her in the center of the Great Hall.
"Have all those demon spirits been dealt with?" Mu Zi thought to herself.
So many experts had appeared in the Great Hall, which meant that those demon spirits used to stall for time had perhaps already ended their sinful lives.
At this moment, Mu Zi had already stopped fighting the dozen or so Completion experts and was silently confronting the crowd.
She swept her gaze around, cold light in her eyes, while releasing an astonishing aura that made them not dare step forward lightly.
However, there were simply too many experts surrounding her. With a rough scan, Mu Zi saw that there were several dozen Yuan Dan Realm Completion experts alone.
Mu Zi's heart chilled. Without using her trump cards, there was no way she could deal with so many Completion experts at the same time.
Faced with such a lineup, even a true Shaping Realm expert would have to avoid their sharp edge for the time being.
"I have to think of a way to get away," Mu Zi thought to herself.
Relying on her movement technique, perhaps she could break out of the encirclement, but doing so would inevitably draw endless pursuit.
She still had to go compete with Wang Yan and the others for the spiritual herbs and did not want to waste time here.
Just as Mu Zi was thinking, a fiery-red shadow appeared in the Great Hall. Lin Dong had arrived, riding Little Flame.
Seeing Lin Dong's figure, a plan immediately came to Mu Zi's mind.
The next instant, she suddenly struck, throwing a Heavenly Yuan Seal at the crowd and startling everyone into retreating repeatedly.
Afterward, Mu Zi took out that spear-shaped Spirit Treasure and hurled it out fiercely. The spear shaft was tightly wrapped in Yuan Power, like a streak of flowing light, shooting rapidly toward Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong, catch!"
Lin Dong reached out and grabbed the Spirit Treasure, holding it in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
What was going on?
Mu Zi wrapped her throat with Yuan Power and shouted. Her voice echoed throughout the entire Great Hall, allowing every single person present to hear it clearly.
"Quick, split up and run!"
Before her voice had even faded, Mu Zi moved, vanishing into the passage that led deeper into the tomb estate at an extremely swift speed.
"What do we do? Do we chase?" The people in the Great Hall hesitated.
"Forget it, let her go. That woman is way too strong. She's not easy to deal with."
"That kid also has a Spirit Treasure in his hand. Just snatch his!"
After making their decision, they all turned around and cast their gazes toward Lin Dong off to the side.
Being stared at by so many people, Lin Dong felt an urge to vomit blood.
He had already understood. It seemed he had been set up.
