Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 537 Breakthrough—Fifth-Order Domain (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Water King, who was fighting against the Platinum Tiger and the Mountain-Moving Ape, suddenly received a message from the Mountain and River King.

"Master, the Mountain and River King has ordered you to hold off the Crimson Flame Bird and the Black Gold Eagle!"

"Lynch was assassinated by the Zerg..."

The alluring-looking Water Queen, clad in blue armor, heard the message from the intelligent life form.

His expression immediately turned serious.

Without hesitation, it turned and soared into the sky, beginning to hold back the Crimson Flame Bird and the Black Gold Eagle.

Those martial artists at the ninth realm basically all have the ability to kill a level nine calamity beast single-handedly.

However, facing the combined attack of two level-nine calamity beasts will significantly increase the difficulty of defeating them.

They themselves will also fall into crisis.

With the departure of the Water King, only the Crimson King remained, and he now had to face four level-nine calamity beasts all by himself.

His combat strength ranks in the lower middle range among ninth-realm martial artists.

There was no way to hold back the four level-nine calamity beasts; if left unchecked, the other martial artists would suffer.

King Chi Lie also knew about Lin Qi's assassination.

He gritted his teeth and said to the intelligent life form:

"Have Old Sun use plasma cannons, laser cannons, and self-destructing drones to bombard us! We must hold off the level nine monster!"

"Yes, Master!"

Inside the Black Dragon Base, the laser cannons began to adjust, and a large number of metal spheres launched a suicidal attack on the level nine calamity beast.

“Bang bang!!”

With each explosion, level nine calamity beasts such as the Earth-Shaking Dragon Elephant and the Platinum Fiend Tiger were blasted to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and the snow to melt into blood.

……

"Clang clang clang!"

"Break it for me!!"

Commander Kaz unleashed his full power, channeling all his strength into his sharp scythe, attacking with reckless abandon.

At the same time, other Zerg warriors rushed out, brandishing their weapons.

Some soldiers were entirely golden, with burly figures and arms like spiked iron hammers!

It radiates a golden, sharp light, as if it could cut through space itself.

There are also Zerg warriors who are entirely black and have arms like sharp knives.

It's as if you can see the prototype of the insect.

For example: mantises, beetles, rhinoceros beetles, bees, ants...

Lynch felt a terrifying force as they relentlessly impacted the silver metal sphere.

"Master, the impact has become stronger; you can only hold out for 20 seconds!"

Xiao Chan's voice came to my ears.

Lin Qi could sense that the silver metal sphere was nearing its limit.

His mood also turned serious; he clenched his fists, ready to unleash the [Second Stage: Golden罡 Transformation] at any moment.

That was his trump card, capable of significantly boosting his combat power.

However, he didn't know if he could escape from the level nine Zerg warriors.

“Ding ding!!”

“Bang bang!!”

Commander Kaz smirked as he continued to slash with his scythe, creating a flurry of blade shadows that sliced ​​through the air!

The falling snowflakes instantly split into dozens of pieces.

He is a level nine Zerg warrior, capable of unleashing thousands of strikes per second.

The metal sphere was covered with numerous knife marks.

Soon, soon!
Time is life, and both he and Lynch are racing against time.

Every second felt like an eternity!

"Lin Qi, you're just waiting to die!"

Commander Kaz spoke, his voice hoarse, as he launched a psychological offensive.

Lin Qi remained silent, his expression still calm.

Gripping the black and gold spear tightly, the Golden Emperor's Qi was frantically compressed into the spear, and the intent flowed through the spear tip.

"Master, there are 5 seconds left, 4 seconds left, 3 seconds left..."

Xiao Chan keeps counting down!
Lynch was highly focused. Although less than 20 seconds had passed, it felt like 20 years had gone by, each second feeling like an eternity.

"Beast, seeking death!"

Just as the metal sphere was about to shatter, several golden axe-like beams suddenly cleaved out.

The attack struck Commander Kaz and several Zerg warriors.

Then, a deep, resonant voice roared out.

"Da da!!"

Commander Kaz raised his arm and swung his scythe to block the attack, then took several steps back to look at the newcomer.

A burly figure landed beside Lin Qi, brandishing a battle axe.

Lin Qi looked up and was startled.

It was Meng Wu!
Looking at the burly man in front of him, he and Meng Wu harbored resentment because of Zhang Tai's matter.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wu came to his aid at the crucial moment.

The burly Meng Wu didn't waste any words:

"I'll deal with the strongest one, you run!"

"call out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Commander Kaz arrived in an instant.

Meng Wu brandished his silver battle axe, unleashing a burst of brown axe energy and terrifying power emanating from his body.

Raise your battle axe to defend!

"clang!!"

The clash between the two sides stirred up a fierce storm.

Meng Wu's expression changed drastically as he sensed Commander Zi's terrifying strength and speed!

The opponent is indeed at the ninth level of combat power!
Although he was at the peak of the eighth realm, he was instantly at a disadvantage when facing the combat power of the ninth realm.

"Get out of my way!" Commander Kaz roared disdainfully.

"Die!"

Meng Wu's expression was ferocious; he was ranked 28th on the overall ranking list of the Eight Realms.

He was the former Southern Inspector, and in the Black Dragon Base, apart from those at the Ninth Realm, he was one of the strongest individuals.

"boom!"

A terrifying aura erupted as he unleashed his full power, frantically mobilizing his inner energy and activating it.

At the same time, the metal sphere on Lin Qi's body began to decompose and condense into a body.

Xiao Chan transformed into human form and followed Lin Qi.

The Silver Guardian, clad in silver armor, formed the shape of a shield with his arms.

"clang!!"

In an instant, an eighth-level Zerg warrior appeared, its entire body black and gold, with arms like sharp cones.

Lynch sensed a dangerous atmosphere in the air.

Without the slightest hesitation, a terrifying aura erupted from his entire body.

[First Stage - Golden Transformation] Activated!
In an instant, Lin Qi felt as if a switch had been flipped, and terrifying power surged from his body, affecting every part of his body.

"Dong Dong!!"

His heart began to pound violently, like an engine starting up, and his thick blood pounded like rolling thunder.

"Whoosh!!"

His body was covered in bulging veins, and his blood was flowing, appearing like flowing golden-red blood beneath the golden patterns.

Lin Qi unleashed his full speed, unleashing the full power of "Thunderous Nine Flashes".

At this moment, the essence of thunder emerged, empowering my body and making me feel even lighter.

Lin Qi instantly surpassed his limits and burst forth.

At that moment, he felt that he had become stronger.

He condensed the Golden Emperor Spear Qi in his hand and thrust it towards the nearest Black Gold Warrior.

"clang!"

Like steel clashing, the opponent condensed silver lightning power to withstand the attack.

"Oh!"

Both were thrown back by the force. Lin Qi used the impact to fly out and turned to rush towards the area where the calamity beasts were most concentrated.

Everything happened within two seconds.

"call out!!"

In Lin Qi's perception, the remaining 11 figures surrounded him from different directions.

Crimson flames, flowing water, lightning, sharp edges, wind blades...

Various special abilities launch ranged attacks against themselves.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Under the overwhelming bombardment, Lin Qi [Golden Eyes] accurately predicted the landing point of the attacks and quickly dodged.

He was very fast, but some Zerg warriors were not slow either.

In particular, one of the green mantis warriors was of the same race as the leader from before.

It was even a little faster than me.

As expected of a level eight warrior!

"roar~"

"Boom!"

Just then, the ground shook, and six enormous Earth-Splitting Wolves pounced on them.

The target was Lynch and 11 Zerg warriors!
"Ow~"

The Earth-Splitting Wolf opened its blood-red maw and pounced, and Lin Qi's gaze sharpened.

"court death!"

He unleashed a powerful black and gold spear, its golden serpent-like energy piercing forth.

"Pfft~"

Lin Qi unleashed a spear strike like lightning, precisely piercing the Earth-Splitting Wolf's head.

"Oh!"

The massive Earth-Splitting Wolf crashed to the ground, splashing up snow, and died instantly!

Merit Points +3000
Now that Lin Qi has unleashed his minor supernatural power, his combat strength has risen to another level.

The level 7 Earthshaker is no match for it.

"Puff puff puff~~"

The plunging Earthshakers effectively hindered the 11 Zerg warriors.

However, they were no match for the level 8 Zerg warriors and were quickly killed.

Some Zerg warriors even targeted Lynch and launched an attack instantly.

"Bang bang!"

One of the golden-armored rhinoceros beetle warriors swung his steel-like arms down at Lin Qi.

"Oh!"

Lin Qi swung his spear to defend himself, and the terrifying force of the impact sent him staggering backward once more.

"What a powerful force!"

Lin Qi's expression hardened; these Zerg warriors were indeed just as described in the martial arts general knowledge class.

They are not very intelligent, but they are natural-born warriors with unparalleled physical abilities.

Each of them would be a top-tier genius among humans.

The opponent is modeled after a rhinoceros beetle and possesses formidable power.

Gu Jian, who had just broken through to the eighth realm, was no match for this Zerg warrior in terms of strength.

Even though he possessed greater power, he was actually at a disadvantage in terms of strength when using minor supernatural abilities.

"Boohoo!!"

Another green, mantis-like Zerg warrior charged out, brandishing its sharp scythe.

Lin Qi brandished his large gun and engaged in a fierce battle with him.

"Oh!"

“Ding ding!!”

The spear and scythe clashed, releasing a burst of energy that collided with the force of the wind. "So fast!"

Lynch kept backing away!

Then the other Zerg warriors rushed up one after another.

Lynch sensed intense danger; in a one-on-one fight, he was not afraid of any Zerg warrior.

But now there are 11 Zerg warriors!
"Zerg, you're asking for death!"

Suddenly, a green sword aura shot out and struck a Zerg warrior!
Xu Qing came into view.

"Beast, die!"

Several more streaks of azure spear energy appeared and slammed heavily into the Golden Beetle warriors.

Mu Hong, dressed in black armor, suddenly appeared.

"Xu Qing, teacher!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up with joy.

"And I!"

Suddenly, Pei Hongfeng, clad in silver armor and possessing a burly physique, charged out, brandishing his battle sword!
They quickly engaged a Zerg warrior!
He is a peak eighth-realm martial artist ranked 15th, and his strength is even greater than Meng Wu's.

Behind them, Dean Liu controlled 10 throwing knives, which shot towards a Zerg warrior like streaks of light.

Shen Heng has also arrived, and he's found a rival!
In a short while, he met Shen Heng, Xu Qing, Dean Liu, Mu Hong, and Pei Hongfeng, whom he was familiar with.

Besides the five of them, there were three other martial artists at the eighth level.

They are the teachers of Shen Heng, Xu Qing, and Pei Yiqing, respectively.

Including myself, there are nine people in total.

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the rescue team arrive.

He sent messages to Shanhe Wang, Pei Hongfeng, and his teacher Mu Hongda.

I never expected that so many rescues would come in just a few seconds.

"Do it!"

Pei Hongfeng spoke, his heart pounding as he saw the 11 level-eight Zerg warriors.

So many Zerg warriors, just to hunt down Lynch?

Moreover, he also sensed a terrifying aura.

That's a level nine Zerg warrior!

"clang!!"

"kill!"

All the Zerg warriors were filled with murderous intent and charged towards Lin Qi without the slightest hesitation.

But all of them were blocked.

However, three Zerg warriors were still missed.

"Whoo~"

"Are there only three Zerg warriors left?"

Lin Qi exhaled, sensing the Zerg warriors rushing in from three directions.

A praying mantis, a rhinoceros beetle, and a beetle.

These correspond to [Swift Wind], [Golden Edge], and [Earth Arm] respectively.

Lin Qi gripped the large gun tightly, a terrifying power flowing through his body.

Three level-eight Zerg warriors, stronger than Gu Jian, came to assassinate him.

An unnamed fire surged up from my chest.

He had just brushed with death in a split second, a feeling he vehemently hated.

He hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time.

This wasn't the first time he'd been assassinated, which made him furious.

【Insect God Society】【Insect Race】

All deserve to die!
"call out!!"

"die!"

The mantis warrior charged forward first, his arm a scythe, his swordsmanship fluid and his speed swift as the wind.

Lin Qi sensed the danger and his energy erupted once more.

【Double Transformation of Metal and Steel】

Lin Qi instantly unleashed the Second Stage of Golden Transformation, and his body underwent another change, with the golden patterns on his skin becoming even clearer.

His muscles bulged, making him even more imposing, and the aura of a golden tiger emerged.

My bodily functions have improved dramatically, and my heart is pounding wildly.

Lynch's sensory abilities also improved significantly, and his [Golden Eyes] began to function.

His combat power has increased significantly once again.

The speed of the mantis warriors slowed down in their own eyes.

He instantly brandished his black and gold spear, and the imagery of mountains and rivers appeared!
The power of artistic conception is integrated into the great spear.

"Bang!!"

The two collided instantly, and Lin Qi felt a terrifying force.

His physical abilities are now no weaker than those of the Zerg warriors.

"call!"

Just then, the golden-armored warriors who had separated from Lin Qi descended from the sky and collided with him.

At the same time, a sharp blade pierced through the air and stabbed towards Lin Qi's back.

Lin Qi unleashed his movement technique, "Thunder Nine Flashes," narrowly dodging the attack.

The others were also shocked when they saw Lin Qi's battle; Lin Qi was actually able to fight against three level eight Zerg warriors.

Pei Hongfeng was also shocked when he saw it.

Is Lynch really that good?
Lynch felt the surge of power.

Facing the Zerg warriors, his power continued to increase; although the [Double Transformation of Golden Qi] could greatly enhance his physical attributes.

But time was short, and he had to deal with them as soon as possible.

"Then you will be my sharpening tools, helping me improve my marksmanship!"

"Die!"

He brandished his golden spear and launched an attack, his body moving like lightning, leaving nine afterimages.

His speed increased, and the "Nine Lightning Flashes" technique achieved a breakthrough.

His spear thrust out like a mountain collapsing.

"Clang!"

As they clashed with the Mantis Warriors, their speed increased, and the 5000-kilogram gun, amplified by the increased power, unleashed terrifying force.

Through his golden eyes, he saw through the flaws in the Mantis Warrior's swordsmanship.

"Pfft~"

The spear pierced the mantis's carapace, but only penetrated a portion of it.

"What a strong shell!"

Lin Qi was secretly alarmed; this armor was only slightly weaker in defense than an eighth-tier battle armor.

“Ding ding!!”

At the same time, two other Zerg warriors charged over.

Lynch instantly engaged them in battle, doubling the level of danger.

Lin Qi felt the pressure and threw himself into the battle.
Based on the timeline, King Shanhe should have arrived by now.

……

one kilometer away

"Oh!"

"Pfft~"

Commander Kaz swung his scythe, piercing Meng Wu's neck and penetrating his heart through his shattered armor.

"Ho~"

Kaz kicked Meng Wu away, sending him crashing into a snowdrift and splashing up a lot of snow, while blood splattered on the ground.

Meng Wu's consciousness became blurred, and his life began to slip away. In the end, he was just an ordinary peak eighth-realm martial artist.

The amplification effect brought by the minor divine power also became limited, unable to support him in crossing borders and fighting against Kaz.

He was no match for Commander Kaz.

"time is limited!"

Commander Kaz ignored Meng Wu and burst forth from the spot; a kilometer was not a long distance for him.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Lin Qi's location.

Wielding a scythe, two wind blades slashed out, tearing through the void at incredible speed.

"not good!"

"Lynch is in danger!"

Pei Hongfeng, Mu Hong, and the others sensed danger and looked up, realizing something was wrong.

Commander Kaz immediately smiled and unleashed his speed. If he were to stand in front of Lynch without the protection of the Silver Guards, he would surely die.

Even if he dies here, it's worth it.

"Beast, you are courting death!"

Just then, a roar came, and a brown spear beam pierced the sky, heading straight for Commander Kaz.

Commander Kaz's expression changed, and he raised his scythe, using the power of the wind to protect himself.

"Oh!"

Its body was instantly blasted back, and a tall, imposing figure appeared in his sight.

The Mountain and River King, clad in silver armor, brandished a large spear, and an invisible domain emanated from his body.

"Zerg, you're courting death!"

"Buzz!!"

Commander Kaz felt uncomfortable, as if his body was being suppressed by a mountain.

His body became unusually heavy; this was the power of the Mountain and River King's domain.

The realm of mountains is also the realm of earth!
If the Mountain and River King could comprehend the Water Domain and join it, the suppressive power would become even more terrifying.
"It's over!"

He knew the chances of completing the task had become very low.

But since he's still alive, he has to continue the mission.

Kill Lynch!

He continued charging toward Lynch.

Shanhe brandished his spear and sneered, "If you want to kill someone, you'd better think about yourself!"

Then the big gun fired!

……

Meanwhile, Lynch is fighting against three Zerg warriors.

He was fully engaged in the battle, and his mind was racing during the intense fighting.

Under the influence of the [Double Transformation of Metal], the body boils violently, and the body cells move and rub against each other at high speed.

Lynch sensed the body's cells and began to take control of them.

Suddenly he sensed danger; two wind blades were slashing toward him from afar.

It was incredibly fast; even when slowed down several times, it was still very fast.

If that blade of wind were to strike him, he would be instantly and severely injured!
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lin Qi looked at the wind blade, and the artistic conception of mountains and rivers suddenly erupted and compressed.

The cells in the body also began to mobilize frantically.

The mental imagery contracted and entered the body, concentrating at a single point, and the body's cells came under Lin Qi's control.

"Kaka!!"

In an instant, he felt something shatter inside his body, and suddenly he was able to control the cells within him.

Breakthrough!
"Hoohoo!!"

In an instant, an invisible force was released from his body, his cells pulsated, and his life force field transformed into the power of his domain.

The area expanded to within three meters of the body.

The wind blade rushed into the domain and was instantly suppressed.

In an instant, Lin Qi felt a sudden enlightenment, as if he had received some kind of blessing.

Facing the wind blade that was within arm's reach, he accelerated, as if he had teleported out of thin air, and brushed past the wind blade.
