It was none other than Chu Tiannan!
He shielded Lin Xiao behind him as he faced the ghostly shadow.
"Boom!"
Two powerful magic powers collided. Lin Xiao and the guards of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion were forced to take a few steps back.
Some of the weaker ones even fainted on the spot.
Even Lin Xiao felt his blood and Qi tremble. A metallic taste rose up in his throat. He barely managed to stabilize himself and looked at the two people in the air.
The ghostly shadow lifted the cloak that covered his head, revealing a cold face. He looked at Chu Tiannan and said coldly, "Chu Tiannan, do you really want to go against me?"
"It's you …"
Chu Tiannan clearly recognized the person.
He was the Branch Leader of the Corpse God Sect's branch in the Imperial City, Sengoku. His strength was the same as his, at Level Four of the Body Integration Realm. He also had a high position in the Corpse God Sect.
If it was any other time, Chu Tiannan would definitely back off if he could. However, Lin Xiao was his savior. How could he watch as Lin Xiao was killed?
Thinking of this, Chu Tiannan gritted his teeth and said firmly, "This is Jiangchu County. As the Prefectural Governor, how can I allow you to run amok here?"
"If the county is harmed, the Imperial City of Beiwu Country will definitely settle the score with your Corpse God Sect!"
Mu Qing stood in front of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. Her face was pale because of the clash between Sengoku and Chu Tiannan, but she still gritted her teeth and said.
Sengoku's eyes flickered when he heard Chu Tiannan and Mu Qing's words.
Although the Corpse God Sect was powerful enough to deal with Jiangchu County, with his strength, if Chu Tiannan insisted on stopping him, he would not be able to gain any benefits. Furthermore, if this matter reached the Imperial City and angered the Imperial Family, even the Corpse God Sect would not be able to bear it.
With this thought in mind, Sengoku immediately retreated and flew into the air. He looked down at Lin Xiao and said coldly, "Are you really going to hide here?"
Lin Xiao didn't answer and looked at him with disdain.
There was nothing wrong with his brain. Would he run out of the protection of the County Governor's Office just to play the hero for a moment and let Sengoku kill him?
"Cough, cough, cough …"
At this moment, Chu Tiannan suddenly coughed violently.
As it turned out, the poison that he had contracted a while ago, although it had been neutralized by the Earth Level Detoxification Pill, his body had yet to fully recover. Just now, when he had forcefully exchanged blows with Sengoku, his injuries had been aggravated.
Seeing Chu Tiannan's pained expression, Sengoku's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He grinned and said, "So the rumors are true!
You've really offended the Third Prince and now you're heavily poisoned! "
"I was framed!"
Chu Tiannan's expression was a little angry at the mention of the Third Prince's wedding banquet. He clenched his fists tightly and said with a flushed face.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Sengoku curled his lips in disdain. His gaze fell on Chu Tiannan as he said coldly, "I only know that your injuries haven't healed and you're no match for me. Moreover, you've offended the Third Prince. I believe that if I were to attack you, no one in the Imperial City would dare to stand up for you."
As he said that, his gaze fell on Lin Xiao. With endless murderous intent, he said word by word, "Now, I'd like to see who can protect you, little bastard!"
Boom!!
At the same time, Sengoku brazenly attacked. His fist carried an earth-shattering power that even cut through space.
Seeing this, Donghai Dragon King and Chu Tiannan quickly protected Lin Xiao behind them.
However, both of them were injured. Although they could stop Sengoku for a while, they couldn't defeat Sengoku. Once they were defeated, Lin Xiao would only be waiting for death.
Lin Xiao's expression became serious. Looking at the 9,800 points of energy, he thought of an idea. He mustered all his strength and said loudly, "How dare a mere Level Four of the Form Synthesis Realm show off in front of me? When my subordinates arrive, you'll die without a burial place!"
"You're courting death!"
Sengoku didn't expect Lin Xiao, a mere Level Five of the Form Synthesis Realm, to dare to mock him, a Level Four of the Form Synthesis Realm powerhouse. His eyes flashed with anger and his attacks became fiercer.
Donghai Dragon King and Chu Tiannan were already injured. Under Sengoku's frenzied attacks, they were forced to retreat.
Seeing this, Mu Qing frowned and glared at Lin Xiao. She said angrily, "You're still acting tough at a time like this!
What good will it do you to provoke this guy? "
Hearing this, Lin Xiao just smiled noncommittally.
His energy had reached 9,910 points. He only needed 90 more points to get a chance to summon!
As long as he could summon a Level Four of the Form Synthesis Realm powerhouse, together with Donghai Dragon King and Chu Tiannan, they would definitely be able to defeat Sengoku.
However, if he wanted to summon a powerhouse above Level Four of the Form Synthesis Realm, he would have to have his own cultivation level.
Obviously, it would be difficult for him to summon one at his current cultivation level.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao took out the Earth-level "Cultivation Pill" that he had refined in the County Governor's Mansion and swallowed it without hesitation.
At the same time, Lin Xiao closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
"What is the Deputy County Governor doing?
Is he going to make a breakthrough? "
"I think he just took an Earth-level pill!"
"So what if it's an Earth-level pill? Can it help him break through to the Form Synthesis Realm?
Even if he breaks through to Level One of the Form Synthesis Realm, he won't be able to defeat Sengoku. Besides, an Earth-level pill can only help him break through to the Spirit Severing Stage at most! "
"What's the point of sharpening one's spear at the last minute?
If he's going to make a breakthrough, why did he offend Sengoku just now? I think the County Governor and the white-browed man can't hold on any longer! "
…
Seeing Lin Xiao sitting cross-legged, the guards of the County Governor's Mansion could not help but discuss among themselves.
Mu Qing stood beside Lin Xiao. Her beautiful eyebrows were completely knitted together and her hands were involuntarily clasped together.
However, Lin Xiao did not seem to have heard anything. He closed his eyes and circulated the "Ethereal Cycle" technique in his body to digest the energy of the Earth-level Cultivation Pill.
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for reaching Level Six of the Form Synthesis Realm! "
…
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for reaching Level Nine of the Form Synthesis Realm! "
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for reaching Level One of the Form Synthesis Realm! "
A series of system notifications rang in Lin Xiao's mind.
In just five minutes, Lin Xiao's cultivation level rose rapidly as if he was sitting on a rocket. He directly broke through to Level One of the Form Synthesis Realm!
Mu Qing's beautiful eyes widened when she sensed the change in Lin Xiao's aura. She could not believe her eyes.
In just five minutes, Lin Xiao had crossed five stages and reached Level One of the Form Synthesis Realm from Level Five of the Form Synthesis Realm!
This speed was too terrifying!
The guards of the County Governor's Mansion also widened their eyes and looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.
However, in their opinion, even if Lin Xiao was extremely talented and broke through to Level One of the Form Synthesis Realm in five minutes, he was still like an ant in front of Sengoku.
Of course, Sengoku also thought so.
At this moment, he had completely gained the upper hand. The Donghai Dragon King and Chu Tiannan were injured. He sneered disdainfully and said to Lin Xiao, "Isn't it too late to increase your strength now?
Even if you reach the Form Synthesis Realm, you are still an ant in front of me! "
