Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 62: Immortal Tomb Key

She turned her head around before her gaze fell on a young man in blue robes.

The young man didn't hesitate for a second after beheading the two guards; he immediately jumped and ran in the direction Li Mei had previously gone.

"Thank you..." Su Yiling could only mutter those words in a low voice. She watched as Lein slowly disappeared from her sight.

Lein wasn't trying to be a hero, but he felt that the item they were fighting over must be something valuable, and that's what he wanted.

Lein chased for two minutes before finally spotting Li Mei who was fleeing.

Li Mei, who was running with a small smile on her face, suddenly stopped as she sensed Lein's presence.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?" Li Mei felt very unfamiliar with Lein's appearance.

"Hand over the sword or die," said Lein without preamble. He observed Li Mei from a distance while looking at her status panel.

[Status]

- Name: Li Mei

- Race: Tayi Bao

- Power Core: Cultivator

- Rank: Golden Core

Although the woman in front of him was a Golden Core cultivator, a Tier-3 being like himself, Lein felt no oppression whatsoever.

"Hahahah..." Li Mei laughed amusedly at Lein's threat.

But before her laughter had faded from her lips, a slash was already flying toward her.

"Bastard..."

Li Mei was startled; she didn't expect Lein to be so direct.

Lein's movements were very quick; he had activated the speed skill of his boots.

Tang... Teng...

A sword and a large zither clashed.

Every time Lein attacked, the large zither acted like a protective shield. Li Mei seemed very adept at using it, spinning around and lifting the zither in her hands with both hands, smashing it towards Lein.

Pufh...

Lein blocked with his sword, and he was thrown 10 meters back.

Not stopping there, Li Mei immediately activated her zither's ability. The zither strings, like snakes, extended and quickly shot toward Lein like needles.

Tag... Slash...

Lein slashed at every incoming string, running to the side and trying to evade.

Tang... Slash...

"You foolish player, you seem to be lost," Li Mei observed Lein deflecting each zither string. As a cultivator, she could feel that Lein's energy was very different from that of ordinary people.

"Uh... it seems my swordsmanship has really improved," Lein muttered calmly. He hadn't used any attack skills before because he wanted to test his new skill (Sacred Heart Sword). Indeed, his swordsmanship had greatly improved.

Li Mei heard Lein's words from a distance and smiled disdainfully. She wanted to say something when suddenly Lein was already beside her.

Shhttt...

Lein's sword pierced Li Mei's heart without resistance.

"You talk too much, miss."

Lein pulled out his sword and let Li Mei's lifeless body fall to the ground. He then searched Li Mei's body for her spatial storage.

[Killed (Li Mei - Cultivator) exp +97,300]

"Got it..."

Lein held a silver ring in his hand.

(Space Ring)

- Owner: Li Mei

- Slot: 1,000 square meters

Ordinary rings didn't have soul protection, so Lein easily checked the ring's contents with his mind.

The ring's contents mostly consisted of weapons and some energy crystals, a few books, clothes, and some medicinal herbs. The most notable item was the sword in the corner of the space.

Lein took the glowing sword and looked at its status panel.

[Rinen Sword]

- Level: 27

- Attribute: STR +287, AGI +104

- Skill: (Lin Yang's Tomb Key) Can open the immortal tomb of Lin Yang.

"Whoa... finally," Lein smiled contentedly as he saw the sword's skill section. "The immortal tomb," he said.

"But where is Lin Yang's immortal cave?" Lein pondered hard this time. It was pointless to have the key but not know the location to open. After thinking for a while, his slightly slow mind finally lit up, "Wasn't the previous girl the owner of the sword, just ask her," Lein said happily.

He then stood up and slashed Li Mei's corpse into ashes.

Immediately, he jumped and ran back in the direction he had come from. It had taken him about 5 minutes to chase Li Mei earlier. "Hopefully that woman hasn't gone too far," Lein thought to himself.

...

At the site of Li Mei's guards' corpses.

Su Yiling, still injured, was sitting weakly, leaning against a large tree behind her. She had bandaged her wounded stomach and arm with cloth by now. Her left hand skillfully tied a knot on the bandage of her right arm.

"Luckily, that young man came, at least my life is saved this time," Su Yiling said in a low voice. She then took out some healing bottles from her space ring to heal the major wounds on her body.

"Damn Bao Guo, traitor..." Curses came from Su Yiling's mouth. Her gaze was empty, as if she were thinking about a very hated event from before.

Glug... Glug...

Su Yiling drank all the healing bottles she had. After that, she wiped the remnants from her lips.

Silence...

She was now sitting in silence, contemplating the moments when she had formed a team to explore the treasure tomb she had found. Foolishly, she had trusted an old friend, a traitor. Su Yiling's face was very ugly when she kept thinking about it.

Her ugly expression didn't last long because this time she imagined how lucky she was that the young man in blue robes had arrived just in time and saved her.

Her left hand now touched the crystal necklace around her neck. This necklace was a gift from her mother when she left home to become a disciple of the Tantai sect. She felt her mother's prayers always with her.

Su Yiling's weak eyes suddenly widened when she saw the young man who had saved her earlier standing right in front of her.

"Hello... sorry to startle you," Lein approached Su Yiling. He then squatted in front of her and took out a few high-level healing bottles.

"Here, take this... Your wounds will heal quickly," Lein said warmly. The person in front of him was the key to the treasure for him. Disposing of small items like these was not a loss.

"Thank you, sir, but who are you?" Su Yiling was confused by Lein's sudden kindness. She didn't think they had met before, so did this person have certain intentions? But whatever it was, the person in front of her had saved her, so she had to be polite.

"I'm Lein. Before we talk further, quickly use this medicine so your strength can recover," Lein said, not intending to explain further.
