Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He knew that with his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to resist the sword energy unless he took out his Ascendant soul.
At this moment, Qian Feng and Liu Mei also frowned. It was obvious that they had also noticed something.
Qian Feng's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Ceng Niu, how about the three of us join forces to resist the sword energy?" "Okay!" Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he nodded.
Qian Feng had no choice but to invite Wang Lin to join forces. It was obvious that even if he and Liu Mei joined forces, they wouldn't be able to withstand the sword energy. If they couldn't, then they wouldn't be able to enter the palace. Right now, Yunque Zi and the unfamiliar old man had already entered. If they were any later, this trip would be ruined.
Now that Wang Lin had joined forces, their chances of success would increase a lot.
In Qian Feng's heart, he didn't look down on Wang Lin just because he was at the early stage of Soul Transformation. On the contrary, in his heart, Wang Lin was someone who could fight against him. Also, in the depths of his heart, the one-billion-soul soul flag in Wang Lin's hand was a treasure that could kill him. He dreaded Wang Lin very much.
This was why he had Red Butterfly stall Wang Lin so that he could obtain the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Unfortunately, after he arrived at the spirit mountain, he found out that there were still a few hurdles before he could obtain the Cultivation Planet Crystal.
In his heart, Wang Lin was no longer at the same level as before. However, there was still a trace of pride hidden deep in Qian Feng's heart.
In his mind, if Wang Lin didn't have the one-billion-soul soul flag, then he wouldn't be able to compare to him.
After hearing Wang Lin's words, Qian Feng pondered for a bit and said, "Fellow cultivator Ceng, the two of us will go first to resist the sword energy.
What do you think? "After hearing Wang Lin's words, Qian Feng pondered a bit and said," Fellow cultivator Ceng, the two of us will go first to resist the sword energy.
Wang Lin's gaze was calm as he looked at Qian Feng and Liu Mei. At this moment, Liu Mei also looked at him and smiled. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. Wang will be the first to receive the sword light, and the two of you will follow."
Qian Feng was startled and his eyes lit up. Not only would he have to defend against the sword energy, but he would also have to be careful of the people behind him. It was extremely dangerous. The reason why Qian Feng suggested going with Wang Lin was because he was afraid that Wang Lin would have too many misgivings and wouldn't use his full strength.
Furthermore, with Liu Mei supporting him from behind, even if Wang Lin secretly made a move, he wouldn't be worried.
Qian Feng had already decided that resisting the sword energy was his first choice. As for killing Wang Lin, he could put it off for later.
Hearing Wang Lin suggest going first, Qian Feng was a bit confused, but he knew that now wasn't the time to think about it. He nodded and said, "Then it's all up to Fellow Cultivator Ceng!"
Liu Mei frowned. She felt that this matter was a bit strange. After pondering for a bit, she looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't even look at her. He jumped out and flew toward the golden-armored man.
Qian Feng and Liu Mei followed behind him. The three of them formed a line and flew over.
The moment the three of them closed in, the golden-armored man's eyes narrowed. He raised the golden sword in his hand and a dazzling golden light came from it.
Then he suddenly slashed down.
Suddenly, the sword ray that was a thousand feet wide, as if it could split the heavens and earth apart, let out a powerful whistling sound as it arrived.
At this moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the sword energy whistling through the sky. It was extremely fast as it descended.
The seawater on the surface of the sea was instantly forced into a gully. It quickly separated along the sides, revealing a deep and serene long mark.
When Yunque Zi and the gloomy old man fought against the sword energy, Wang Lin didn't personally participate. Although he felt it, it wasn't very deep. Now that he had personally faced the sword energy, he immediately felt the destructive aura.
Within the presence, his soul even began to tremble gently, showing signs of instability. Not only that, but he also felt like countless mountains were crushing down on every part of his body.
He wasn't unfamiliar with this feeling; it was the same as when he was in the spirit vein under the Soul Refining Sect. However, this time it was 100 times stronger than before.
Before the sword energy even closed in, blood flowed out from the corner of Wang Lin's mouth. However, his eyes revealed an unyielding gaze.
Seeing Wang Lin like this, Qian Feng couldn't help but stop. His eyes lit up and he revealed a look of hesitation.
He didn't know if he should use this opportunity to kill Wang Lin and steal the One-Billion-Soul Soul Flag, or if he should follow his original plan and help resist the sword energy.
This thought flashed through his mind and he made a decision. He was going to kill Wang Lin and take the soul flag. That way, the soul flag would be able to resist the sword energy.
All of these thoughts flashed through his mind in a very short period of time. After making a decision, Qian Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Cultivator Ceng. I'm coming!" With that, Qian Feng's figure moved like lightning and charged forward.
This attack had to succeed, so Qian Feng wasn't in a rush. He was going to leave an unforgettable destruction for Wang Lin after he got close. He had to succeed in one go; if he gave Wang Lin the chance to take out the One-Billion-Soul Soul Flag, it would be bad.
With Liu Mei's intelligence, she immediately knew Qian Feng's intention. She hesitated for a moment, but a flash of coldness appeared in her eyes. She didn't follow but stayed behind.
She was a ruthless person. If Qian Feng could kill Wang Lin, then she would be able to erase his aura from her last illusion. When she reached dao in the future, she would have one less heart demon to worry about.
At this moment, the sword energy arrived directly above Wang Lin's head and pierced through the air.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he revealed a mocking smile. How could he not have predicted Qian Feng's change of heart when he proposed to be the first to resist the sword energy?
All of this was exactly what he had expected, and it was completely within his expectations.
As Qian Feng closed in and the sword energy descended, Wang Lin secretly calculated Qian Feng's movements. The moment Qian Feng appeared within 100 feet of him, Wang Lin let out a laugh. He slapped his bag of holding and a pagoda flew out. In a flash, it blocked in front of him.
Zhou Yi's early stage Ascendant divine sense spread out from the pagoda. When the sword energy closed in, it couldn't help but slow down for a moment. Borrowing this moment, Wang Lin let out a laugh and recalled the pagoda. His body flickered and he charged toward the surface of the sea. However, his speed wasn't fast, and he maintained a distance of 100 feet from Qian Feng.
The golden-armored man's eyes narrowed. He didn't chase after Wang Lin and instead looked at Qian Feng. Without the Ascendant divine sense resisting the sword energy, it regained its power and suddenly descended on Qian Feng.
Qian Feng's expression changed greatly. He didn't have time to guess why the golden-armored man's sword energy didn't attack Wang Lin and instead attacked him. At this moment, he slapped his bag of holding and a red awl appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the red awl was covered in lightning and charged toward the sword energy.
A hint of mockery flashed through Wang Lin's eyes. When the old man and the little monkey faced off against the sword energy, he was a bit confused. After some analysis, he was sure that the golden-armored man had determined that the old man and the little monkey were together, which was why he only sent out one sword energy.
According to Wang Lin's calculations, the distance between the little monkey and the old man was less than 100 feet. As a result, the golden-armored man determined that they were together.
Within this range, the sword energy would attack whoever was closest to the sword energy.
That was why Wang Lin refused to fight with Qian Feng and Liu Mei. Although he was very close to Qian Feng, it was because they were too close that Qian Feng would be able to react immediately if he made any small movements. As a result, Qian Feng would be on guard.
That was why he proposed to fight alone, and Qian Feng fell for it. Although he was confused, he agreed.
In truth, even if Qian Feng didn't agree and the three of them didn't work together, Wang Lin still planned to face the sword energy by himself. He didn't believe that Qian Feng wouldn't launch a sneak attack when he was in danger. However, luring Qian Feng to within 100 feet of him would be a bit troublesome.
However, Wang Lin also had a plan. He was confident that he could lure Qian Feng over.
Qian Feng's suggestion of the three of them working together was exactly what Wang Lin wanted. Qian Feng couldn't resist the temptation and gave up on fighting together. Instead, he used the excuse of fighting together to fool Wang Lin. Just as he was about to attack, he didn't expect Wang Lin to have already seen through everything.
This time, Zhou Yi's Ascendant divine sense played a key role on Wang Lin's pagoda. Borrowing the moment the sword energy stopped, Wang Lin had the opportunity to escape from the sword energy. This allowed Qian Feng to be the closest to the sword energy.
Although all of this sounds slow, it all happened in a flash. When the sword energy swept toward Qian Feng, Wang Lin's body paused. He didn't immediately charge out and instead coldly looked at Liu Mei.
When Liu Mei saw this, her heart trembled and she suddenly understood something. Her eyes lit up and she quickly chased after Wang Lin.
Seeing Liu Mei close in, Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he charged out. This time, he was more than 100 feet away from Qian Feng.
The moment Wang Lin was more than 100 feet away from Qian Feng, the golden-armored giant's eyes narrowed. He waved the golden sword in his hand twice and two rays of sword energy flew toward Wang Lin and Liu Mei.
There was a flash of killing intent in Wang Lin's eyes. Not only did he not charge toward the surface of the sea, but he blindly teleported to within 100 feet of Liu Mei just as the sword energy closed in.
Liu Mei's expression changed. Although she wasn't sure, she was able to guess what was going on from Wang Lin's actions. She was about to teleport so that Wang Lin would be the closest person to the sword energy.
