Ye Ruyan was a little at a loss!
Only then did I realize that very few cultivators who came to the Heavenly Gate World before carried Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Naturally, those Heavenly Gate guides would not mention that Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure could not be activated at the end of this stone staircase!
"My Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure is useless, and so is yours!"
Although Ye Ruyan said this, she did not immediately charge forward!
"But my two Great Saint Puppet can unleash their power without being activated. If you don't believe me, come and try them!"
Lin Heng smiled smugly and provocatively beckoned downwards with his finger!
"You think I'm afraid of you?!"
Ye Ruyan took a step forward!
Lin Heng didn't dawdle and decisively released two Great Saint Puppet to block the next level of stone steps!
This stone staircase is eight zhang wide from the foot of the mountain to the top, and each level is two chi high!
The two giant wolf golems can completely occupy a whole floor of stone steps!
"Snort!"
Ye Ruyan's face was ashen, but she still confidently climbed another step!
Even in this Saint Realm, progress becomes difficult. Although the Great Saint can stand tall and take one step at a time, he cannot leap; he can only walk like an ordinary person!
Ye Ruyan put away the Primordial Azure Lotus Platform and summoned her Saint Artifact, the longsword!
She approached the two giant wolf puppets step by step!
Here, even the domain cannot be released!
Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang leaned against the stone wall, silently recovering their strength while looking down!
Seeing that Lin Heng looked relaxed, they weren't too worried!
When Ye Ruyan was only two stone steps away from the two puppets, the battle broke out!
The two giant wolf puppets stood side by side, each swinging its front paws to launch an attack!
Ye Ruyan used her longsword to defend herself while simultaneously looking for an opportunity to counterattack!
For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle!
Ye Ruyan was not at a disadvantage, but she was under tremendous invisible pressure and was expending a lot of energy. If she could not quickly break through the two Great Saint Puppet, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable to her!
She temporarily suppressed her inner resentment and focused on the fight!
The longsword in her hand wasn't Top-Grade Saint Artifact, but it was still of very high quality. If she couldn't cut through the giant wolf puppet's outer armor in one go, she could do it in a few more tries!
Lin Heng also noticed that the sword marks on his two Great Saint Puppet were becoming more and more numerous and severe, which made him feel a little distressed!
If this fight continues, it's hard to say whether Ye Ruyan will succumb to the strain first, or whether the two giant wolf puppets will be destroyed first!
Lin Heng naturally didn't want to lose these two powerful "bodyguards," so he decided to take matters into his own hands!
Having rested for a while, he suddenly landed between the two puppets and punched Ye Ruyan, who was swinging her sword!
In this special environment, the power of supernatural abilities and spells is weakened too much to be effective. For Lin Heng, using his fists and feet to fight is more effective!
Swish!!
Ye Ruyan reacted extremely quickly, meeting Lin Heng's fist with a sword strike!
In an instant, Lin Heng changed his fist into a claw and fiercely grabbed Ye Ruyan's longsword!
This longsword, whose grade was much higher than the Luan Feather Holy Sword and comparable to the Human Emperor Sword, was caught by Lin Heng with his bare hands!
At this moment, even though Ye Ruyan already knew that Lin Heng had an extremely strong physique, she still found it incredible!
After all, her longsword was not only of high grade, but also blessed by her Saint Power!
The Great Saint's Dao Embryo Saint Power is far stronger than the Saint Spirit Saint Power of the Saint Realm!
Even so, the blade of her longsword still couldn't cut through Lin Heng's palm; it only separated the gray Divine Power enveloping that palm!
"Could it be... that only Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure can harm his body?"
Ye Ruyan was horrified!
Whew! Whew!
The two giant wolf puppets attacked from the left and right, slashing with their claws!
Ye Ruyan had no choice but to loosen her grip on the hilt of her longsword and retreat several steps in time to avoid the two sharp claws!
Lin Heng neither gave chase nor allowed the giant wolf puppet to pursue!
He grabbed Ye Ruyan's longsword with both hands, then crumpled it into a ball and flattened it!
"You are a peerless genius of the Saint Alliance, but the sword the Saint Alliance gave you is far too inferior!"
Lin Heng took out his Human Emperor Sword and said mockingly, "Why don't you pledge allegiance to me and I'll give you this high-grade holy sword?"
Not to mention Ye Ruyan, even Liu Ling'er and Duanmu Yunshang were deeply shocked!
A high-grade holy sword was simply destroyed by a pair of bare hands?
Lin Heng felt no reluctance in destroying the holy sword.
Even if he manages to seize it, he cannot forcibly erase the bond between the holy sword and a Great Saint Realm expert, at least not for now!
He has so many Saint Artifact that he wouldn't feel any pain in destroying someone else's Saint Artifact!
"You..."
Ye Ruyan was so angry that she trembled all over, and her branches shook violently!
To be asked to pledge allegiance by a High-Stage God Venerable is an utter disgrace!
"It seems today isn't my day of reckoning. You overestimate yourself!"
Lin Heng sheathed the Human Emperor Sword and said with a sneer, "If this were anywhere else, or back in the God Realm, with your Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, I might not be able to defeat you and would be afraid of you. But here, you can't do anything to me!"
In truth, there was nothing he could do to this Great Saint woman!
Even with the unique environment here, plus the two Great Saint Puppet, he could at most drive them away, but not kill them!
The other party could easily escape if they wanted to!
For example, if she jumped off the stone steps, Lin Heng wouldn't chase after her!
"Then I'll just have to wait and kill you somewhere else!"
Although Ye Ruyan was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to bow to reality!
After saying that, she started backing away!
This time, not only did she fail to harm Lin Heng in the slightest, but she also lost a holy sword, leaving Ye Ruyan extremely angry!
She quickly returned to Lin Qiu's side, who was struggling to climb the mountain.
Don't ask!
Before Lin Qiu could ask a question, Ye Ruyan spoke first, "We can't use the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure here. That little thief has two giant wolf puppets helping him; I can't do anything to him!"
"Are we just supposed to watch him climb to the top of the mountain and seize the opportunity?"
Lin Qiu was unwilling to accept this, her tone carrying a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction!
He saw that Ye Ruyan was not injured at all, which made him naturally assume that Ye Ruyan had not used her full strength!
"Otherwise what?"
Ye Ruyan glanced at Lin Qiu, "He's protecting two other women as they climb the mountain. Those two women are only High-Stage God Venerable, so their climbing speed is very slow. You can catch up with them. Why don't you give it a try later?"
"Well..."
Lin Qiu was speechless!
If even Ye Ruyan couldn't do it, then of course he couldn't either!
He naturally understood that Ye Ruyan's words meant he had no right to complain!
He was still extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, and he dared not show his dissatisfaction too obviously!
"Don't worry, this is the Heavenly Gate World. No matter how great the opportunity he obtains, he can't directly advance to the Saint Realm!"
Ye Ruyan said indifferently, "His strength has reached its peak. Only by returning to the God Realm can he advance further. I still have a long time to kill him in the Heavenly Gate World!"
