After the five sword strikes, the spirit beasts exploded, and crystal cores flew out of their bodies and fell into the canyon.
"Hmph, you dare to ambush me? If I don't teach you a lesson, won't you become even more arrogant in the future?" Lin Yu snorted coldly and attacked again, instantly killing dozens more spirit beasts.
They stopped after killing more than thirty spirit beasts.
"Wait, where are the crystal cores? Have all the crystal cores here been harvested? No, the crystal cores must still be there!"
Lin Yu carefully observed the surrounding scenery, but found no trace of the crystal core, meaning the crystal core was still there!
However, Lin Yu didn't pay any attention and continued to fly deeper into the canyon. He planned to find a secluded place to take all the crystal cores.
However, he was unaware that behind him, a pair of eyes were intently watching his back.
" Lin Yu, I didn't expect to encounter prey in such a remote place. You're really lucky!"
A soft, feminine voice rang out; it was the woman who had been secretly spying on Lin Yu earlier.
She wore a flowing red dress, her face veiled, obscuring her features. However, she had a stunning figure, with long, straight, beautiful legs, making her incredibly sexy!
She had a faint fragrance that was very pleasant to smell.
Although her cultivation level is only at the Spirit Emperor realm, her combat power is terrifying, absolutely comparable to a Spirit Venerable realm expert!
Lin Yu had just killed dozens of spirit beasts, so he naturally didn't notice anything unusual behind him.
Lin Yu continued forward and arrived at a boulder. He then sat cross-legged on the boulder and began to recover his depleted strength, preparing to fully restore the soul power within his body.
" Lin Yu, you can't escape!" the woman said coldly as she saw Lin Yu recovering his strength.
Then, her figure blurred into a blur, instantly appearing behind Lin Yu and delivering a hard kick to Lin Yu buttocks.
Lin Yu felt a pain in his back and immediately opened his eyes. He turned around abruptly and slapped out with a palm strike, a palm blade strike.
Lin Yu's strength had already reached the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm, so the palm technique he unleashed was even more powerful.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Yu's palm strike slammed into the woman's chest, sending her flying backward. Her body shattered a rock and landed in the canyon.
The woman looked down at the wound on her chest, her eyes filled with rage. " Lin Yu, I won't let you get away with this! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
"You're the one who'll die without a proper burial!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, then leaped into the canyon and charged forward.
" Lin Yu, you stop right there!" Upon seeing this, the woman immediately followed.
Lin Yu was very fast, disappearing from the woman's sight in the blink of an eye.
However, the woman quickly caught up with Lin Yu and punched Lin Yu in the back.
Boom!
This punch contained the power of a Spirit Emperor, and Lin Yu immediately felt a tremendous force strike his back.
"Pfft!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body falling downwards and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Ah! Damn it, not only did I fail to seriously injure him, but I ended up hurting myself!" The woman clutched her chest, gritting her teeth as she watched Lin Yu's retreating figure. "Damn it, Lin Yu, I will definitely kill you, I will make you suffer endless pain, I will make you regret your decision!"
As the woman spoke, she slowly approached Lin Yu Lin Yu, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. But just as she was about to reach Lin Yu, she suddenly felt something creeping up on her from behind.
The woman felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively dodged to the side, grabbing the object and pulling it outward with all her might.
"Bang!"
But just as the woman exerted all her strength to pull the thing away, she suddenly felt a heavy weight in her hand, as if she were holding a large lump of iron that almost broke her hand bones.
The woman was startled and quickly let go of his hand. Then she looked at what she was holding and realized it was a sharp sword!
"Who... who are you?!" the woman exclaimed in surprise, turning to the man and asking.
The man looked no different from an ordinary person, but his strength far surpassed that of an average Spirit Emperor!
"I am your master, you can just call me master!" The man smiled slightly, looking at the woman. "Master, this sword is a gift for you, I hope you like it!"
"A greeting gift?" Upon hearing his words, the woman frowned immediately, her gaze filled with wariness. "What do you mean?"
"Haha, don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to tell you that this sword is called the Heavenly Gang Sword, one of my weapons. As long as you can recognize it as your master, it will be yours, and it can enhance your combat power!" the man explained with a smile.
"What?"
Upon hearing his explanation, the woman's expression finally changed, a greedy glint appearing in her eyes. "Really? This sword can really enhance my combat power?"
"Of course! You're only at the early stage of the Spirit King realm right now. If you can refine it, you'll soon be able to advance to the Spirit Venerable realm!" the man laughed.
"The Spirit Venerable Realm, isn't that incredibly powerful?" the woman asked excitedly.
"It's very powerful, and if you can use it, you can practically sweep away any enemy in this canyon! But I have a condition: if you agree, I'll give you this sword!" The man looked at the woman with a smile, seemingly very optimistic about her.
"What are your conditions? Tell me!" the woman said.
The man's face suddenly turned ferocious as he looked at the woman and said, "I need you to work for me for a while. Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it!"
"Sell your life?" The woman's face turned cold, and she said icily, "How could I, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, possibly risk my life for a nobody like you? You overestimate yourself!"
"Heh, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect? Do you think I'm lying to you?" The man's eyes flashed, and he sneered, "You'd better behave yourself in front of me and obey my orders, or you might save your life. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to torment you!"
"What arrogance!" the woman said, looking at the man with disdain.
Without another word, the man raised his right hand and made a sweeping motion in the air, instantly creating a black mist that enveloped the woman.
"What are you doing?" The woman's body was trapped in the black mist, and she felt unable to move.
The man sneered, his gaze towards the woman filled with mockery. "I'm brainwashing you, making you loyal to me!"
"Brainwashing? How dare you use such despicable methods on me!" the woman sneered.
The man shook his head and said, "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm ordering you. These are my rules. If you disobey, I'll leave you here forever, never to see the light of day again!"
