Chapter 240 Iron Spine Mountain
At noon on the third day, seven people arrived at Iron Spine Mountain.
The mountain is steep and the whole body is dark red, which looks particularly dazzling under the gray sky. It is said that it is dyed by the fallen gods for countless years - every inch of red is the trace of the congealed blood of the gods. At the foot of the mountain is an open land, a hundred miles in radius, with no grass growing, and the ground is covered with black gravel, which makes a tiny crunching sound when stepped on.
"Stop." Tyron raised his hand to indicate.
The seven people stopped. According to the route, they need to stay here for an hour and then turn back. This is the rule. Staying under Iron Spine Mountain for an hour is equivalent to telling the people of Eight Great Clans: We are here, and if you want to fight, fight.
"Disperse the alert." Tyron ordered, "Shi Yan, Mystic Weight are on the left, Azure Luan, Gale are on the right, Lin Qin is in the center to provide support. Azure Rock and Wind Forest are behind, watching the way they came."
Everyone quickly dispersed and each took advantageous positions. Lin Qin chose a high ground and sat cross-legged. He did not look around like others, but simply closed his eyes and put his consciousness to the limit.
One thousand two hundred miles, one thousand three hundred years, one thousand five hundred miles - his spiritual consciousness continued to expand until it reached the limit of two thousand miles. This range has exceeded most Seven-Star Fiend and is close to Asura level. Two hours of soul cultivation every day for thousands of years has allowed him to control his spiritual consciousness to a microscopic level. Even extremely weak breath fluctuations cannot escape his perception.
Time passed minute by minute.
Half an hour later, Lin Qin opened his eyes.
"Coming." He sent a message to Tyron, "To the northeast, two thousand miles away, Seven Breaths are approaching here, not fast."
Tyron took a deep breath and sent a message to everyone. "Get ready to fight. Lin Qin keep an eye on them and tell me immediately if there is any change. Others adjust their status and check the artifact. Sovereign’s Might Don't worry about using it when it's ready."
The six people nodded silently.
Lin Qin closed his eyes again, and locked his consciousness on those seven breaths. The distance of two thousand miles was only a moment for the gods. They were indeed approaching, neither fast nor slow, as if they were taking a walk, and as if they were deliberately giving time to prepare here.
These four words suddenly appeared in Lin Qin's mind. This is what Eight Great Clans wants - to let you know that I am coming, to make you wait, to make you nervous, and to let you consume your energy while waiting. Then take action at the most appropriate time and kill with one blow.
But he is not afraid. Over the past twelve hundred years, he has long learned to remain calm while waiting. The knife is in the sheath and the heart is in the cavity. When it comes, it will come naturally.
After half a stick of incense, those seven breaths entered the range of thousands of miles.
"You can see it." Lin Qin said.
Everyone raised their heads and looked northeast. Seven black dots appeared on the horizon. The black dots grew larger and larger, and soon the figures of seven people were revealed.
The leader was a woman, extremely beautiful, dressed in red, with long hair like a waterfall, and skin like gelatin. She stood in the sky, her clothes were fluttering, like a fairy walking out of a painting. But her eyes were as cold as ice, and when she looked here, she seemed to be looking at seven corpses.
"Venner Clan's Mei Ji." Tyron's voice was low, with a hint of solemnity, "Seven-Star Fiend is at her peak, good at soul attacks. It is said that her charm technique can make strong people at the same level fall prey to her attacks without knowing it. Be careful, don't look into her eyes."
Lin Qin nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and only focused on the opponent's breath fluctuations. Mei Ji-He had heard of this name.
In the family's enemy report, this person was ranked in the top ten most dangerous Eight Great Clans Seven-Star Fiend. No less than twenty strong Four Divine Beast Clan died at her hands.
Behind Mei Ji, there are six men. Five humans, one humanoid race, all Six-Star Fiend. One of them is a thin middle-aged man with a particularly strong aura, and is obviously the strongest person besides Mei Ji.
The seven people stopped a hundred miles away. Mei Ji's eyes swept over Tyron and others, and finally landed on Lin Qin, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Lin Qin?" Her voice was soft and soft, with a hint of laziness, "I've heard of you. In a battle with Rock Fortress, one person killed three Seven-Star Fiend, and they all carried Sovereign’s Might. It's amazing."
Lin Qin said nothing.
Mei Ji was not annoyed and smiled softly, "What a pity, it's me you met today."
She raised her slender hand and waved it gently. The six people behind her moved at the same time, but instead of rushing towards this side, they spread out to both sides, forming a semicircular circle.
"Be careful, she wants to surround her." Tyron said in a deep voice, "Keep your formation and don't break up."
The seven people quickly adjusted, with their backs to Iron Spine Mountain and facing outwards, forming a semicircular defensive formation. Lin Qin stood on the far left - this is the easiest position to break through and the easiest position to kill the enemy.
Mei Ji looked at their formation with a smile on his lips, "Tyron, you are still so cautious. But today, being cautious is useless."
She suddenly took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, she had appeared a hundred feet away, pointing at the center of Tyron's eyebrows. Before the wind arrived, a strange force had already invaded Tyron's sea of consciousness. It was a soul attack, invisible and insubstantial, but extremely deadly.
Tyron groaned, and his face instantly turned pale. He had long been on guard against Mei Ji's soul attack, but when he actually faced her, he realized that this woman's methods were even weirder than he imagined.
"Back off!" He shouted lowly, and at the same time activated a drop of Sovereign’s Might, forcibly stabilizing the sea of consciousness.
At the same time, the six Six-Star Fiend also moved. The five people rushed in other directions, but the thin middle-aged man came straight towards Lin Qin. Obviously, they also knew who was the real big fish.
"Your opponent is me." The thin middle-aged man sneered and punched out.
The fist wind roared, carrying violent Laws of the Earth power. This punch was enough to seriously injure ordinary Six-Star Fiend, but for Lin Qin-
He didn't even draw the knife.
He just turned slightly sideways to pass the punch, and at the same time, his right hand formed a claw and clasped directly towards the opponent's wrist. The skinny middle-aged man's expression changed, and he wanted to change his moves, but found that the space around him suddenly froze for a moment Dragon Roar.
"What?!" He was shocked and tried his best to use his divine power to break free. But Lin Qin's claws had already arrived.
"Crack."
The sound of broken bones was clearly audible. The slender middle-aged man's right wrist was crushed to pieces by Lin Qin. He screamed and struck with his left fist again. Lin Qin did not retreat but moved forward, bumping into his arms with one shoulder - this was pure physical strength, without the slightest blessing of divine power.
"Bang!"
The thin middle-aged man was like a shooting star, which was thrown hundreds of feet away and hit the ground, creating a deep pit. He struggled to get up, but found that half of the bones in his body were broken.
"You——" He stared wide-eyed and looked at Lin Qin in disbelief. What kind of physical body is this? He has lived for tens of thousands of years, and he has never seen a median god who can crush Six-Star Fiend with his physical body alone.
Lin Qin didn't give him a chance to speak.
His figure flashed and appeared above the pit, and he stepped down.
"Boom!"
The whole Iron Spine Mountain was shaken. The pit doubled in size, and the thin middle-aged man was trampled into a ball of flesh. Godhead flew out and was smoothly collected by Lin Qin into Space Ring.
All this happens in three breaths.
Mei Ji had just forced Tyron back and was about to pursue him when she suddenly felt the thin middle-aged man's aura disappear. She turned around and saw Lin Qin stepping down.
Her expression finally changed.
"Okay, okay, okay." She said three good words in a row, with a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes, "I do underestimate you."
She gave up Tyron, turned around and rushed towards Lin Qin.
Lin Qin did not retreat. He drew his sword and faced him.
The light of the sword intersects with the wind of the finger.
"Boom!"
The two retreated at the same time. Lin Qin retreated ten feet, and Mei Ji retreated five feet. It seemed that Mei Ji had the upper hand, but Mei Ji knew that she had used 70% of her strength, and Lin Qin just slashed casually.
Mei Ji's eyes narrowed and he suddenly smiled, "Interesting. But I don't have time to play with you today."
She suddenly raised her hand, and there was a drop of the power of the gods in her hand.
"Sovereign’s Might?" Tyron's face changed drastically, "Rewind!"
But it's too late.
Mei Ji absorbed Sovereign’s Might, and an invisible force spread instantly, covering a hundred miles in radius. Lin Qin felt the sea of consciousness shake, and a strange wave invaded, trying to control his mind.
The art of charm. And it is the art of charm blessed with Sovereign’s Might.
Lin Qin closed his eyes, and Dragon Roar Zhenhun launched with all his strength. Deep in the sea of consciousness, a Dragon Roar sounded, and the strange fluctuations trembled violently, but stubbornly refused to dissipate.
Three breaths.
Five breaths.
Ten breaths.
The smile on Mei Ji's face gradually solidified. Her charm technique, which blessed Sovereign’s Might, was enough to make Seven-Star Fiend lose consciousness instantly. But Lin Qin managed to hold on for ten breaths and still did not fall down.
"You——" A trace of horror flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, Lin Qin opened his eyes.
His eyes were still as calm as water, showing no sign of being confused. He looked at Mei Ji and said calmly, "That's all?"
Mei Ji's face was ashen. She gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around and left one or six of her men. One was killed and five were still fighting. But the thin middle-aged man was dead, and the remaining five were no match. If the fight continued, she would be the one who died.
"Remove!" she shouted sharply, and rushed away first.
The remaining five Six-Star Fiend had long wanted to run away, but upon hearing the order, they immediately activated Sovereign’s Might and fled in all directions.
Tyron and others did not pursue them. They stood there, breathing heavily. Everyone was injured, but none of them were fatal.
Lin Qin put the knife into its sheath and looked in the direction where Mei Ji disappeared with calm eyes.
"Are you okay?" Tyron came over and asked.
Lin Qin shook his head.
Tyron looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed, "You are really a monster. Mei Ji's charm technique has been blessed by Sovereign’s Might. You have been carrying it for ten breaths, and you are still as fine as a normal person."
Lin Qin has no explanation. His soul strength far exceeds that of the same level. This is the result of thousands of years of hard work day after day.
Two hours of soul cultivation every day, rain or shine, accumulated over twelve hundred years, naturally makes him much better than ordinary people.
Azure Luan came over, eyes bright Jingjing: "That kick you just made was so cool. You crushed a Six-Star Fiend to death with one kick. I have never seen such a move."
Shi Yan also came over, his face still a little pale - he had just blocked two more attacks from Six-Star Fiend, and had a few new injuries on his body. But the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Qin was not only grateful, but also a little awe-inspiring.
"I owe you two lives," he said.
Lin Qin shook his head. "As a family, we don't talk about this."
Tyron looked around and said in a deep voice, "Pack up and prepare to go back. Mei Ji Although he has retreated, he may call someone to come. Let's go quickly."
Everyone nodded and quickly cleaned the battlefield. Godhead, a thin middle-aged man, was put away by Lin Qin. He also had a High-God Artifact and some scattered treasures on him, which were also collected. The other five fled too fast, leaving nothing behind.
"Let's go." Tyron waved his hand, and the seven people turned around and rushed towards the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range.
On the way back, the team was silent.
Everyone is thinking about the battle just now. Mei Ji's charm technique blessed Sovereign’s Might, and that kind of terrifying pressure makes them still frightened. If Lin Qin hadn't withstood it, at least half of the seven of them would have died today.
Tyron was walking in front and suddenly said, "Lin Qin, the Six-Star Fiend you killed today was Deen Clan. His name is Salon is the direct disciple of Hogan. Mei Ji brought him here specially because he wanted him to kill you with his own hands and give Hogan an explanation."
Lin Qin nodded. He guessed it. The thin middle-aged man came straight to him as soon as he came up, and he fought fiercely, obviously aiming to kill him.
"Hogan, be careful over there." Tyron said, "He is a man who must retaliate. If his direct disciple dies, he will definitely take revenge."
Lin Qin nodded again.
Today's battle didn't consume much, but Mei Ji's charm technique still shook his sea of consciousness a bit. He needed time to recover.
Three hours later, he opened his eyes. The moon was already passing through the window. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range in the distance.
Under the moonlight, the mountains undulate, like a dormant giant beast. There are lights flickering in the mountains, which are the settlements of the tribe. The lights of Azure Rock Valley are at the far east, and from a distance, they look like a lone star.
Early the next morning, the news spread again.
Lin Qin World War II Mei Ji, kill Deen Clan Six-Star Fiend Salon, forced Mei Ji himself to retreat. This record is even more amazing than last time - Mei Ji is not an ordinary Seven-Star Fiend, she is the top powerhouse who is expected to challenge Asura. Being able to force her back has already explained a lot of problems.
"I heard that Mei Ji used Sovereign’s Might, and the charm technique was extended to the limit, and Lin Qin endured ten breaths." A veteran said to his companion, "Ten breaths, think about it, what is the concept of this?"
"So." The veteran sighed, "That kid is really a monster."
When the news reached Council of Elders, Garvey was drinking tea. After hearing the report, his hand paused and then slowly put down the teacup.
"Mei Ji used Sovereign’s Might?" he asked.
"Yes." Morris said, "With the charm of Sovereign’s Might, Lin Qin held it for ten breaths, and then forced Mei Ji back."
Garvey was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, okay. This kid can handle it better than I thought."
Morris also laughed, "Would you like to add Contribution Points to him?"
"Add." Garvey said, "Salon is the direct disciple of Hogan. Killing him will be a great achievement. Also, ask Tyron to tell him to continue patrolling next time."
Morris nodded, turned and left.
