This martial saint is too cautious.

Chapter 347 Fifth Tier (8K views, please vote)

Both of them, at the fifth level of the illusory realm, are dead!

One was killed with a single sword strike.

The other one is no different from being killed by a single sword.

The remaining six were terrified and felt a chill run through their bodies.

They couldn't understand how Lin Yan could be so strong.

Why should I?!

Having broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm only a few months ago, he was able to kill a fifth-level Void Aspect cultivator. Such a feat was unheard of in the entire martial arts world.

Xian Chengfeng felt a chill run through his body, but his two companions felt even colder.

The two of them had no enmity with Lin Yan or the Taiyi Sword Sect. The reason they got involved was entirely because they had already formed an alliance with Xian Chengfeng before the secret realm opened.

Of course, neither of them objected to Xian Chengfeng's choice to cooperate with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

With the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace, and two Void Phase Level 5 experts guarding the area, we can practically roam freely in the second level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm. We don't even need to worry about the Thunder Fruit being stolen if we find it.

In fact, they had encountered stronger opponents when they were vying for the Thunder Fruit, but after announcing their alliance with the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace, they deterred those who wanted to compete for it.

But now, if given the choice again, they would rather not have this kind of deterrence.

run!

At this moment, another person from Tai Xuan Palace took the lead in retreating.

As soon as he retreated, the others reacted immediately, their figures transforming into rainbows as they fled.

The two strongest fifth-level Void Realm experts are dead. Even if the six of them join forces, they are no match for Lin Yan.

The only bet is that Lin Yan isn't pursuing him.

Seeing that the two were about to run away, the sword intent of the Sword Melody above Lin Yan's head shone even brighter, the sound of the music expanded again, and invisible sound waves spread out.

Boom!

The two slowest runners fell straight down from mid-air.

Lin Yan's figure also shot out, and the Taiyi Sword Escape was used to its fullest extent at this moment.

His body moved like a rainbow of swords, his sword energy crisscrossing the land!

With every sword strike, someone falls.

"Lin Yan, spare me, and my Zhaoye Martial Arts School is willing to give you—"

Xian Chengfeng watched in horror as his two companions were killed, but before he could finish speaking, a terrifying sword aura struck and instantly engulfed him.

"Outside the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, we agreed to a battle. I've satisfied your request."

Seeing the despair on Xian Chengfeng's face, Lin Yan murmured something and then turned his gaze to the last one, another third-level Void Realm martial artist from Tai Xuan Palace.

The opponent was not only the first to run, but also clearly used a secret technique, with the Dharma image above their head burning wildly.

However, Lin Yan used the Taiyi Escape Technique for three consecutive instants, and he was already thirty feet behind his opponent.

call out!

The Abyss Sword was swung out, shattering both the person and the Dharma image together.

In the span of ten breaths, all six men perished.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Lin Yan did not rest. He began to clean up the scene and killed the six people, including Lu Siyuan and Fang Du from before, without expending too much energy.

After a short while, the site was cleaned up.

Lin Yan didn't stay where he was, but continued to walk forward.

Fang Du and the others just headed in this direction, so it's highly likely that Senior Brother Pei and the others are ahead of them.

Half an hour later.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Pei Wujiu's face lit up with surprise when he saw Lin Yan.

Ever since Lin Yan chose to leave alone last time, he had been worried that his junior brother Lin might encounter people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace.

"Senior Brother Pei."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, seeing the appearance of Pei Wujiu and the other three, it seemed they hadn't encountered any major battle.

"Senior brothers, something has happened in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm."

Lin Yan had no intention of telling anyone about the destruction of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace.

Originally, he wanted Jianxu to take the blame, but now that something has happened in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, there is another person to take the blame.

"What happened to the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm?" Zhao Qing asked hurriedly.

"The Thunder Dragon, which was suppressed in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, has now awakened and is trying to break free of its seal—"

Lin Yan repeated Han Che's words once again, and after hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhao Qing and the others' expressions became serious.

"No wonder the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm is so strange this time; it turns out the Thunder Dragon is the culprit."

"Senior Brother Zhao, what do we do next?"

"It depends on the situation. We definitely can't set foot on the third level. Calculating the time, there are only seven days left until the end of the secret realm. For these seven days, we will stay on the outermost edge and avoid being struck by lightning again."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Qing gave his suggestion.

Lin Yan nodded slightly upon hearing Zhao Qing's suggestion, as he shared the same thought.

Staying on the edge is the safest approach.

"Let's go, retreat towards the outer area."

Without hesitation, the group began to retrace their steps.

However, an hour later.

"Junior Brother Lin, have you noticed anything amiss?"

"have."

In response to Pei Wujiu's question, Lin Yan nodded: "In the past hour, the thunderstorms have become more frequent. You know, we are heading outwards. Normally, thunderstorms should become less and less frequent. The current situation is clearly abnormal."

Lin Yan had carefully observed this over the past hour and noticed that the further out one went, the more frequent the thunderstorms became.

Judging from the current frequency of thunderstorms, they will have to stop in less than an hour.

It's not that these thunderstorms are too powerful to withstand, but rather that we dare not withstand them.

It is now clear that these lightning bolts can absorb their Dharma power, and enduring the thunderstorm is equivalent to providing the thunder dragon with the energy to break the seal.

"It seems that beast doesn't want us to retreat to the edge."

Zhao Qing's expression turned somewhat grim as he listened to Lin Yan and Pei Wujiu's conversation.

As if to verify Zhao Qing's words, the next moment, thunderstorms poured down again in front of them, stretching endlessly and completely blocking their path.

The group changed directions several times, and wherever they went, the thunderstorm followed, even getting closer to them.

"Senior Brother Zhao, this beast is trying to force us back. What do we do now?"

Wang Mu looked at Zhao Qing, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, but before he could make a decision, a figure suddenly appeared not far away.

"Fellow members of the Taiyi Sword Sect, the thunderstorm has now completely sealed off the outer area and is still shrinking. Brother Han Che has asked us to gather together so that we might be able to come up with a way to break this deadlock."

The messenger was a third-level Void Realm martial artist. Upon hearing his words, Zhao Qing nodded and then looked at Lin Yan and the others: "There's no chance to go to the edge area now, so let's meet up with the others. But we have to be careful of those people from the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Brother Zhao, there's no need to worry. Brother Han said that our common enemy this time is that Thunder Dragon. Even if your Taiyi Sword Sect and Tianjian Sect have grudges, he will intervene. At this critical juncture, he won't let you have a conflict."

Upon hearing Zhao Qing's words, the visitor immediately offered his assurance.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The words of a sixth-level Void Realm expert still provided some assurance.

Lin Yan sensed Zhao Qing's relieved expression, blinked, but did not speak.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Han and the others are on the left front right now. Just head in this direction. I still need to find the others."

Having received Zhao Qing's confirmation, the newcomer clasped his hands in a fist salute and continued flying to the right.

Watching the other person leave, Zhao Qing said, "Let's go and meet up with the others. Han Che definitely knows more about Lei Long's situation. It's always good to know more about Lei Long."

After saying that, Zhao Qing seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Yan again: "Junior Brother Lin, when you encounter people from Tai Xuan Palace and Jiu Xiao Lei Sect later, don't let their words provoke you."

Although Han Che promised not to let everyone fight, Zhao Qing was afraid that the people from Tai Xuan Palace and Jiu Xiao Lei Sect would provoke Lin Yan with their words. Once Lin Yan was provoked, the two families would find an excuse to attack.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhao, I'm not easily angered."

Lin Yan smiled. No one in Tai Xuan Palace could provoke him. As for Jiu Xiao Lei Zong—Jiu Xiao Lei Zong alone had fewer people than their Tai Yi Sword Sect, so they might not dare to make such a request.

However, Zhao Qing and the others had strange expressions when they heard Lin Yan's words.

Are you not an easily angered person?

How did Zeng Yun, the sword-heart disciple of the fifth lineage, and Wei Xian, the core disciple, die?

Five hours later.

Lin Yan and the others stopped near the edge of the third floor.

More than twenty people had already gathered ahead.

"The Taiyi Sword Sect has arrived!"

Upon seeing Lin Yan and the others, the crowd turned their attention to them.

"The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace are not here."

Wang Mu quickly glanced at the more than twenty people present and whispered.

Zhao Qing nodded, and landed on the ground with Lin Yan and the others, while he walked towards Han Che.

Lin Yan's gaze swept across the entire room without leaving a trace. The thirty-odd people present were either sitting or standing, in groups of two or three, with the largest group being four people. There were no groups of six like their Taiyi Sword Sect.

No one spoke to each other; they just stood there quietly.

Time passed slowly, and martial artists appeared from time to time.

Three hours later, more than thirty people had gathered at the scene, and Lin Yan also saw the three people from the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect.

The three of them immediately looked at him, but when they saw that there were six people standing next to him, and they couldn't find them in the crowd...

The three members of the Nine Heavens Thunder Sect quickly withdrew their gazes from the figures of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Tai Xuan Palace, becoming as still and absorbed in their own thoughts as if they were in deep meditation, no longer glancing in his direction.

"Brother Han, everyone who should be here has arrived."

When the third-level Void Realm martial artist who had previously notified Lin Yan and the others returned to the scene, his words caused an uproar.

This time, more than fifty Void Realm warriors entered the secret realm, but only thirty-two were present. This means that more than twenty people have already perished in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

"Where have the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect gone?"

"Where have the people from Tai Xuan Palace gone?"

"Those three from Teruno Dojo have also disappeared."

"Cao Xiu of Qinghai Gate has disappeared without a trace."

"Xu Zhengchu of the Crimson Sun Sect has also fallen? He was a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Void Realm."

A clamor erupted from the crowd instantly; more than 30% of the people had perished, something that had almost never happened before in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

"Lin Yan, your luck is incredible—"

Of the more than twenty people who perished, about half of them had a grudge against Lin Yan.

Lin Yan smiled back at Kuang Ye and noticed Zhou Chen standing next to him. After a moment's thought, he said, "I suspect that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect have been poisoned by the Sword Ruins warriors. I previously discovered the Sword Ruins' unique Devouring Sword Gu Silk."

Lin Yan's voice was loud enough that many people at the scene could hear it.

Moreover, everyone present was a powerful cultivator in the Void Realm, so as long as one was attentive, even if Lin Yan's voice was very low, it could be heard clearly.

"That's right, I also saw the Sword-Eating Gu threads back then, and this time there were indeed Sword Ruins warriors who infiltrated."

Soon, several more illusory martial artists spoke up, confirming Lin Yan's words.

After Lin Yan spoke, although he did not look at Zhou Chen, his senses remained on Zhou Chen, but he found no flaws.

Zhou Chen showed little change in expression, except for a hint of surprise.

"Fang Du of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lu Siyuan of the Tai Xuan Palace, and Xu Zhengchu of the Crimson Sun Sect are all experts at the fifth level of the Void Realm. Unless someone at the sixth level of the Void Realm makes a move, it is impossible for anyone to kill them."

From the crowd, someone spoke softly, and as soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes turned to Han Che in the center of the arena.

Han Che frowned slightly: "I have no grudge against these three, so there's no need for me to take action against them."

"Brother Han, it's not that we doubt you, it's just that you were the one who spread the news about the Thunder Dragon, and you were the one who gathered us together, but you still haven't told us what the situation is on the third floor?" The person who spoke earlier spoke again.

"I originally intended to speak after everyone arrived, but it seems the others won't be able to make it, so in that case—"

Then I'll just say it directly.

Han Che looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The Thunder Swamp Secret Realm does indeed suppress a Thunder Dragon. Not only is the Thunder Dragon sealed, but it has also been in a dormant state. The Thunder Liquid and Thunder Fruit that we have absorbed from the Thunder Transformation Pool all come from the energy dragon saliva released by the Thunder Dragon. However, this time, someone came in and awakened a wisp of the Thunder Dragon's consciousness."

"Who is it?"

Upon hearing Han Che's words, someone immediately asked a question. Lin Yan glanced at the person and saw that they were also a Void Phase Level 5 expert.

"Chen Jiang, the deputy head of the Azure Eagle Martial Arts Academy."

It's him?

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. When this deputy master of the Azure Eagle Martial Arts Academy appeared at the entrance of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, he was curious as to why this man, who was over eighty years old, would come to the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

So this person didn't come for the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm at all, but for the Thunder Dragon. But what was his purpose in doing so?

"Brother Han, why did Chen Jiang do this? Don't forget there are Reality Realm experts guarding outside the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm."

"He wants to use the power of the Thunder Dragon to break through to the Realm of Reality. As for the powerful figures outside, once the Thunder Dragon is freed, it will naturally have no interest in him. Moreover, as long as no powerful figures in the Divine Ability Realm appear, once he leaves the Thunder Mountain area, who will be able to find him?"

Upon hearing Han Che's words, everyone present fell silent.

It would be truly difficult to find the whereabouts of a powerful Realm expert without a sect who is determined to conceal their presence.

It's clear that Chen Jiang has already given up on the Eagle Martial Arts School.

"I see. So, Brother Han, what is the purpose of summoning us here? And if I remember correctly, besides Chen Jiang, there is another sixth-level Void Realm expert. I wonder where that person is?"

"He's dead. He was ambushed by Chen Jiang on the third floor, and Chen Jiang sacrificed him to awaken a wisp of Lei Long's consciousness."

O

Han Che gave the answer directly, and seeing the silence of everyone present, he continued: "If we want to survive, there is only one way to go, and that is to stop the Thunder Dragon from fully recovering. To do this, we must enter the third level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm to stop Chen Jiang."

Enter the third level and stop Chen Jiang?

Many martial artists at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment, remaining silent.

They were considering two things: how credible was Han Che's statement?

"I know some of you doubt my words, and even think that I, Han Che, should be able to stop Chen Jiang, but what I want to say is that Chen Jiang has awakened a sliver of Lei Long's consciousness, and can draw on Lei Long's power. I am no match for him. Most importantly—"

"The main problem is that you, Han Che, have selfish motives. You want to use yourselves as cannon fodder to hold me back so that you can go and get the Thunder Marrow."

A chilling voice rang out, and everyone's gaze immediately turned towards the direction of the third level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm. From within the thunderstorm of the third level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, Chen Jiang's figure slowly emerged.

At this moment, Chen Jiang was surrounded by lightning, like the Lord of Thunder.

Upon seeing Chen Jiang appear, Han Che's expression turned extremely ugly: "Chen Jiang, how dare you show your face?"

"Why can't I appear?"

Chen Jiang sneered: "You fought with Dong Guan for the Thunder Marrow, and Dong Guan was killed by you."

Listening to the conversation between Chen Jiang and Han Che, Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Han Che was indeed hiding something.

"Master Chen, are you saying that Han Che slandered you?"

A phallus martial artist who was relatively close to Chen Jiang asked the question.

"Stain?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang suddenly burst into laughter: "It's not exactly slander, because it was indeed I who awakened the Thunder Dragon, but it was Han Che who gave me this opportunity. Without Dong Guan's corpse, I wouldn't have been able to awaken the Thunder Dragon's consciousness."

"Everyone, did you hear that? This Chen Jiang is trying to awaken the Thunder Dragon's consciousness. Let's all work together to kill him, otherwise once the Thunder Dragon's consciousness is awakened, we will all have no way to survive."

Han Che spoke coldly, and as his words fell, someone's aura actually rose.

However, he quickly realized something was wrong and tried to withdraw his aura, but it was too late.

Chen Jiang's eyes narrowed, his gaze falling on this person. He spread his five fingers and suddenly clenched them in the void. The lightning surrounding him suddenly surged, transforming into a huge bolt of lightning that directly struck the person.

boom!

As the lightning struck, the second-stage Void Realm martial artist was instantly reduced to ashes.

This scene made everyone present look grim.

"I don't want to kill you people yet. I'll let you enjoy the thunderstorm slowly. My target is Han Che. Of course—if you want to die for Han Che, then go ahead."

Chen Jiang spoke coldly. He needed the energy from the corpse of Han Che, a sixth-level illusory cultivator, to quickly revive Lei Long.

As for the others—their Dharma power will be absorbed by the thunderstorm sooner or later, so there's no need for him to take action.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiang vanished from his spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of Han Che and struck out with a palm, the palm wind carrying the power of thunder towards Han Che.

Han Che was also prepared, and almost the instant Chen Jiang appeared, he also threw a punch.

boom!

The deafening roar reverberated!

A ripple of lightning spread outwards, and Han Che staggered back several steps.

Seeing this, the others retreated and moved away from the area where the two were fighting.

However, not long after everyone retreated, another large number of thunderstorms struck. This time, the thunderstorms were like a sea, instantly filling all areas, and no one could escape them.

Rumble!

Several bolts of lightning struck him, and Lin Yan could feel the power of his divine form being drained from his divine palace, just like before.

No wonder Chen Jiang only attacked Han Che and didn't care about anyone else.

Because he doesn't need to intervene, these thunderstorms will eventually drain the power of their divine forms from their divine palaces.

Want to join the battle?

Lin Yan looked at Chen Jiang and Han Che in the thunderstorm. Han Che was at a disadvantage, and judging from Chen Jiang's leisurely manner, he clearly still had strength left. Even if he joined in, he might not be a match for Chen Jiang.

When his gaze swept over the others, Lin Yan vanished from his spot and reappeared beside Chu Yan and Ye Ya.

"Brother Chu, how many lightning-attracting pearls do you have left?"

Chu Yan, who was bracing against the power of the thunderstorm, didn't expect Lin Yan to suddenly ask such a question, especially since it was done telepathically. But he still replied, "There are four left."

These days, he hasn't been able to use a single lightning-attracting bead.

The main idea was to search for the Thunder Fruit on my own, break through to the third level, and then use the Thunder-Attracting Pearl after my strength increased, so that I would have a greater chance of protecting the Thunder Fruit.

Give them all to me.

Chu Yan was taken aback. At this point, what did Lin Yan still want to do with the Thunder Pearl?

Despite his doubts, Chu Yan still took out the remaining four lightning-attracting beads from his pocket.

After receiving the four lightning-attracting beads, Lin Yan no longer hesitated. His figure transformed into a streak of rainbow light, and he braved the thunderstorm to head towards the third level.

Lin Yan's actions attracted the attention of many people.

Chen Jiang, who was fighting Han Che, also sensed it, but he didn't care. His old face even showed a mocking expression.

Running to the third floor at this point, could it be an attempt to undermine the enemy's defenses?

These so-called Dharma prodigies are truly naive.

If he wasn't absolutely certain, why would he have come out?

The only one who could disrupt his plan was Han Che; the others would exhaust their Dharma power before they could even reach the depths of the third level.

"What is Junior Brother Lin doing?" Wang Mu asked, looking puzzled as he saw the direction Lin Yan had left.

Zhao Qing did not answer, because he had just received a telepathic message from Junior Brother Pei.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Lin asked us to find a way to hold off Chen Jiang and prevent him from returning to the third level too quickly. He has a way to break the deadlock."

Upon hearing Pei's telepathic message, Zhao Qing looked in the direction Lin Yan had left and asked, "How did he break the deadlock?"

"I don't know, but I think I can trust Junior Brother Lin."

Pei Wujiu's tone was full of certainty, and Zhao Qing didn't know where his junior brother Pei got his confidence from.

Chen Jiang only targeted Han Che, ignoring the others, because he was certain they couldn't affect his plans.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I believe in Junior Brother Lin."

Seeing that Zhao Qing did not respond, Pei Wujiu sent another telepathic message.

He was confident in Lin Yan because Lin Yan had told him something telepathically just as Lin Yan left.

"Fang Du of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Lu Siyuan of the Tai Xuan Palace were both killed by me."

Pei Wujiu could not describe the shock he felt when he first heard his junior brother Lin's telepathic message.

For a fleeting moment, he even thought that Junior Brother Lin was talking nonsense.

Upon closer analysis, the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Tai Xuan Palace, and the Zhao Ye Martial Arts School—

All three families that had grudges against Junior Brother Lin are dead. What a coincidence!

Most importantly, Junior Brother Lin had no reason to tell this lie.

He didn't know how Junior Brother Lin had done it, but for now he could only trust Junior Brother Lin.

The reason why Junior Brother Lin only sent a telepathic message to himself was clearly because he didn't want more people to know about this matter.

Seeing Pei Wujiu's serious expression, Zhao Qing finally nodded.

Since Junior Brother Pei trusts Lin Yan so much, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

"Gentlemen, we cannot let Chen Jiang defeat Han Che so easily. Even if we are not strong enough, we must help. Otherwise, once Han Che is defeated, our fate will be sealed as well."

After saying that, Zhao Qing took the lead, picked up his longsword, and charged towards the battlefield.

The reasoning Zhao Qing spoke of was understood by all the illusory martial artists present. However, people subconsciously prioritize self-preservation, and without someone taking the lead, no one was willing to be the first to stick their neck out.

Now that Zhao Qing has taken the lead, many Void Realm experts have also shown signs of interest.

"What kind of method does Lin Yan have?"

Zhou Chen, standing in the crowd, listened to Zhao Qing's words and glanced in the direction Lin Yan had left. He didn't believe that Lin Yan would blindly rush into the third floor. In addition, given Zhao Qing's actions at this moment, it was obvious that Lin Yan had some kind of plan.

This plan requires them to stall Chen Jiang.

"We'll take a gamble; we have no choice but to trust him."

There is another reason why Zhou Chen chose to believe Lin Yan.

Lin Yan pinned the deaths of the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect on Jianxu. Others might think it was highly plausible, but as the Prince of Jianxu, he knew all too well that this was a huge scapegoat.

Fang Du of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't die at his own hands, and the other two good-for-nothings didn't have that kind of strength either, plus they were already dead.

Lin Yan specifically mentioned Jianxu, clearly intending to make Jianxu take the blame.

This, on the contrary, suggests that the deaths of Fang Du and the others were closely related to Lin Yan.

He didn't know how Lin Yan did it, but if Lin Yan really had the strength to kill Fang Du, it would mean that Lin Yan already had the top strength of the fifth level of the Void Realm, and perhaps—there really was a way to break the deadlock.

"Brother Zhao is right. With Han Che dead, our fate is sealed. No matter what, we must lend Han Che a hand."

Zhou Chen roared, drew his long sword, and charged into the battlefield right after Zhao Qing.

The other two Void Realm level 5 martial artists on the scene saw Zhao Qing and Zhou Chen rushing towards the battlefield, exchanged a glance, and then both of them shot off towards the battlefield.

Sword energy, blade aura, spear light, and palm print slammed into Chen Jiang.

Sensing the attack from Zhao Qing and the others, Chen Jiang's expression turned cold. He had just injured Han Che and wanted to finish him off before Han Che could regain his footing, but now the four of them were attacking him from all sides at the same time. Even though their attacks posed little threat to him, he had no choice but to stop and deal with them.

He needed to break through to the Realm of Reality, so he couldn't afford even the slightest injury. Otherwise, he would have killed Han Che long ago, even at the cost of a minor injury.

"Lightning Ring!"

Chen Jiang gave a soft shout, and the lightning that had been swirling around him instantly transformed into a ring, enveloping his entire body.

The attacks from Zhao Qing and his three companions landed on the ring, which trembled several times, blocking all of their attacks.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when Chen Jiang was defending against the attacks of Zhao Qing and the other three, Han Che retreated dozens of feet and quickly took out a bottle of pills from his pocket, swallowing them all to replenish his depleted Dharma power.

"I originally intended to let you live a little longer, but since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way first."

Seeing Han Che take the pill, Chen Jiang knew he had lost the chance to kill Han Che quickly. His eyes were filled with intense killing intent. He stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion in the air. Lightning fell from above Han Che's head and transformed into four lightning snakes that coiled around his arm.

"go!"

Chen Jiang waved his right hand, and four lightning snakes of different sizes roared out, heading towards Zhao Qing and the other three.

Seeing the laser beam heading towards him, Zhao Qing's expression changed, and he parried with his longsword, unleashing a sword aura.

The moment the sword energy collided with the lightning serpent, the lightning serpent exploded, destroying the sword energy. At the same time, the energy blast sent Zhao Qing staggering back more than ten steps, his hand gripping the longsword splitting open and blood dripping down.

Zhou Chen on the other side fared slightly better, only being knocked back several steps by the energy generated by the Razer explosion.

On the contrary, the two martial artists at the fifth level of the Void Phase stage suffered the worst damage. Most of their clothes were blown off, and their faces were charred black.

It wasn't that the two were weaker than Zhou Chen and Zhao Qing, but rather that Chen Jiang was focusing his attention on these two, and the lightning bolts he fired at them were more powerful.

After injuring Zhao Qing and three others with a single blow, Chen Jiang raised his hand again to prepare for a second attack. However, Han Che, wielding a long spear, once again took the initiative to attack him.

The spear thrust out with terrifying force, interrupting Chen Jiang's second attack.

"Thank you all for your help!"

Han Che had no choice but to act immediately. If he allowed Chen Jiang to kill these four people, no one else would help him.

Because helping yourself is tantamount to quickly sending yourself to your death.

Without help, it's just a slow death, and since they haven't truly reached the moment of death, these people still have some hope in their hearts, hoping that powerful beings from the outside world will break through the secret realm and come in to rescue them at any moment.

Without these people buying him some breathing time, he wouldn't have lasted a hundred breaths against Chen Jiang.

While Han Che continued fighting Chen Jiang with his gun, Zhao Qing and the other three took out pills from their pockets. At this moment, the Void Realm warriors who had not yet made a move also began to head towards this side.

They also realized that they didn't need to confront Chen Jiang head-on; they only needed to buy Han Che a little time when he couldn't hold on any longer.

Even if Han Chewan is defeated, they can live a little longer.

Who can guarantee that Chen Jiang, after killing Han Che, won't change his mind and stop letting the thunderstorm slowly absorb their Dharma power, but instead directly slaughter them?

Helping Han Che is helping yourself.

The third level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

At this moment, Lin Yan had already ventured hundreds of miles into the third level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

The first lightning-attracting pearl, forty lightning fruits.

Continue deeper into the territory.

The second lightning-attracting pearl, and forty-five lightning fruits.

Let's delve deeper.

The third lightning-attracting pearl, and fifty-three lightning fruits.

Go even deeper.

The fourth lightning-attracting pearl, and sixty lightning fruits.

There are a total of 198 Thunder Fruits.

Lin Yan examined the power of the Dharma Image within his Divine Palace and frowned slightly. It was still not enough to reach the fifth level.

"The Fruit of the Dao Source".

If the Thunder Fruit's energy isn't enough, the Dao Source Fruit will make up for it!

As Lin Yan thought of it, the Dao Source Fruits on the Martial Dao Tree disappeared.

At the same time, within the Divine Palace, the rotation speed of the Dharma Image vortex suddenly increased.

The thirty-zhang-long divine palace has already liquefied 70% of its Dharma form, and it continues to grow as the vortex increases.

75% to 80%!

The moment Lin Yan's Dharma Aspect power reached 80%, he opened his eyes, feeling the rich liquefied Dharma Aspect power within his divine palace, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Fifth stage of the Illusory Form, achieved!
