"Watch out!"
As they advanced, Grass suddenly called out a warning.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Lin flashed sideways, shifting one body-width away.
A hazy shadow shot through the spot he had just occupied.
The shadow was small, its entire body blazing with lightning, almost indistinguishable from the Thunder Pond. Had he not been on constant guard, it would have been difficult to notice.
But although it was fast, its attack was not particularly powerful.
It had not reached the true realm level.
Nor was it enough to trigger the Heaven-Swallowing Golden Toad's swallowing ability automatically.
With a thought, Chen Lin manifested the full-moon scimitar, ready to strike the phantom image and destroy it.
Just then.
Grass's voice rang out again.
"Master, leave it to me!"
As her words fell, a streak of sword light shot out and slashed into the phantom image.
The sword light transformed into Grass. She opened her little mouth and sucked the collapsing spiritual body into her belly.
Her aura instantly grew stronger.
Chen Lin's eyes flickered.
Grass could actually swallow it directly. That meant this spiritual body was extremely pure.
The innate spiritual entities they had obtained before had all required slow refinement and absorption. It had never been this easy.
Not far away, Gu Siming immediately sent him a voice transmission, an unusual look on her face.
She clicked her tongue. "Second Brother, this sword spirit of yours really is extraordinary. She can actually swallow a thunder spirit directly. Although this thunder spirit has only just formed, an ordinary spiritual body still couldn't swallow it. Even the artifact spirits of eternal treasures rarely possess such an ability."
"She isn't an artifact spirit."
Chen Lin replied flatly.
Gu Siming was about to say more, but seeing that Chen Lin seemed displeased, she thought better
