Chapter 1554: A Massive EXP Pack

Countless rattans and branches intersected, practically blotting out the entire sky as they surged forth like a tsunami.

Lin Huang and the other two were like three little boats traveling in the waves, against the wind. They looked as if their boats would capsize anytime.

In the face of an opponent suspected to be half-step lord-level, the three of them showed no fear at all.

Countless rattans were crushed into dust as they were swallowed up by Lin Huang’s blood-red sword gleam.

Meanwhile, Virtuoso and Saber9, who were behind him on both sides, held nothing back in their attacks. Wave upon wave of palm prints and saber gleams filled the sky with brilliant golden and white luster.

Both of them were fighting as hard as they could so Lin Huang could have an opportunity to attack.

The three of them surrounded the opponent on three fronts and tore a rift in the massive wave by force.

If one were to watch from above, it was as if a strand of golden, red, and white thread was going against the current amid the massive tsunami-like wave without a single pause along the way.

Quite some time later, the thread made it to the top of the wave at last.

Lin Huang and the other two also finally saw the culprit that had attacked earlier—the Dead Spirit Vine.

Within the Night Demon Fir Forest that had now collapsed to the ground, a gigantic Dead Spirit Vine seemed to be staring at the three of them like a snake.

Lin Huang and the other two had yet to catch a glimpse of its entire form, but while the Dead Spirit Vine was slithering, they were also able to see scales on it that looked like those of a dragon.

If not for their Divine Telekinesis having sensed things, they might have thought that it was a Dragon Tribe monster terrorizing the place if they had relied on the evidence of their eyes.

However, Virtuoso and Saber9 knew very well that this Dead Spirit Vine having such scales on its surface was very likely because it had swallowed a member of the Dragon Tribe or a Dragon Tribe member’s remains.

When it saw Lin Huang and the others approaching, the strength and frequency of the Dead Spirit Vine’s attacks peaked almost immediately.

However, Lin Huang merely made a grand gesture, and Mirror appeared as a shield in front of the three of them, completely blocking all the attacks.

Countless rattans and branches were deflected back when they hit Mirror, landing on the Dead Spirit Vine’s massive body.

“This fellow isn’t a half-step Lord!” Lin Huang confirmed as soon as he witnessed Mirror taking effect. He shared the news with Virtuoso and Saber9 through voice transmission.

Virtuoso and Saber9 already had their suspicions when the three of them managed to tear a rift through the wave of rattans. However, they also considered that since they were just attacking casually, the Dead Spirit Vine might not be taking them seriously, so its attack strength was rather weak.

However, now the three of them were almost right in front of it.

By all normal logic, it was impossible that this Dead Spirit Vine would hold back on its attacks. At this point, the power of its attacks would definitely be at its usual standard, perhaps even stronger.

However, its attack did not break through Lin Huang’s Mirror’s defense. It clearly proved that its combat strength was not yet at half-step lord-level.

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the Dead Spirit Vine was not a half-step Lord, but merely a peak ninth-rank powerhouse.

They looked at each other, and it seemed that all of them could read the excitement in each others’ eyes.

Now that there was no longer the fear of fighting a half-step Lord, all three’s hunting enthusiasm suddenly soared to the highest level.

They had never encountered a peak ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouse before. It was the most powerful enemy they had ever fought, which was why their will to fight skyrocketed

The Dead Spirit Vine also appeared to have sensed the three’s intentions and became fully enraged.

Countless rattans swarmed from all directions, descending upon them like torrents of rain.

Lin Huang moved his fingers slightly, and Mirror turned into a sphere immediately, enveloping himself, Virtuoso, and Saber9. It countered this round of attack flawlessly.

“Is your Divine Power and Rule Bending Power enough to defend against such an attack?” Virtuoso could not help asking.

Beside them, Saber9 had the same doubts, and he looked at Lin Huang as well.

“I’ll give advance notice if I’m running out.” Lin Huang’s expression was calm with no hint of concern. “I’m not one of those stubborn people who’s afraid of admitting defeat.”

The duo was relieved as they could tell by Lin Huang’s expression that he could handle it.

In reality, Dead Spirit Vine’s attack did not last very long either.

It seemed to sense that its attack could not break through Lin Huang’s defense, and completely abandoned the attempt after less than five minutes.

After all, an attack of such frequency and intensity was a great drain and burden to it.

Most importantly, Lin Huang’s defensive skill was savage. Many attacks were deflected back at it—the gains did not make up for the losses. Although the deflected attacks could not harm the Vine on a physical level, more of its Divine Power and sequence power would be drained to defend itself against them.

Noticing that the Dead Spirit Vine’s attacks had weakened, Lin Huang immediately dispelled Mirror that was enveloping them.

He had no idea what Virtuoso and Saber9 had in mind but to him, the Dead Spirit Vine was undoubtedly a massive EXP pack.

The fourth-rank heavenly god-level Dead Spirit Vine from before had provided him with over one hundred thousand types of Rule Bending Powers. The number of rules within this peak ninth-rank Dead Spirit Vine would definitely be considerable.

However, what he had not expected was that Virtuoso and Saber9 would fight for this monster as well.

As soon as Mirror was dispelled, Virtuoso attacked the Dead Spirit Vine first before Lin Huang could react.

Their jade-like white palms struck out, transforming into tens of thousands of palm prints in the void, all targeting the Dead Spirit Vine.

Almost simultaneously when Virtuoso attacked, countless golden saber gleams consolidated in front of Saber9, surging toward the Dead Spirit Vine like a storm.

Lin Huang was rather confused as to why both of them were even more enthusiastic than he was.

Naturally, he would not back down. If they killed this monster, he might need to spend a few days making up for the EXP that he would lose.

He attacked without hesitation, and it was an extremely powerful attack.

He charged with eleven compounded levels of sequence power and Sword Dao heavenly rule.

A brilliant blood-red glow lit up on the blade at once.

The power of the attack was like a massive blood-red sun descending upon the world. Even the fog around Lin Huang faded a little.

Meanwhile, the sword-wielding Great Dao Will above his head did exactly the same thing.

The gargantuan sword in its hand shone with a red glow that light up the area for miles.

Two red glows, one large and one small, gradually integrated within the void. As Lin Huang swung his sword, the glows turned into an invincible shockwave that shot out...

The Dead Spirit Vine seemed to have sensed this fatal threat, and completely abandoned dealing with Virtuoso and Saber9’s attacks. It sent all of its rattans surging forward in an attempt to defend itself against Lin Huang’s assault.

However, all of the rattans turned into dust whenever the blood-red shockwave passed by; they did not manage to block the attack at all. The velocity of the attack did not slow down either, not even a little.

Sensing that its defense had failed, the Dead Spirit Vine finally thought of running away. However, it could not escape in time as it was too big.

Almost as soon as the thought of fleeing entered its head, its body was struck by the blood-red shockwave. The shockwave pierced through its body almost effortlessly, leaving a giant hole that was over a meter in diameter on its torso.

The Dead Spirit Vine could sense a terrifying sequence power rushing into its wound, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Meanwhile, its body began to collapse, starting from the wound area...

Lin Huang felt satisfaction like never before as he sensed close to three million Rule Bending Powers surging into his body like a wave. The feeling was over ten thousand times better than soaking in a hot spring during winter.

When the Dead Spirit Vine’s carcass collapsed, Lin Huang, who had just devoured all of the Rule Bending Powers, suddenly felt an overwhelming Divine Telekinesis sweeping through.

The suppression coming from the wave of Divine Telekinesis was many times more powerful than this last Dead Spirit Vine.

Saber9 and Virtuoso clearly sensed the same thing. Their newly-relaxed nerves grew tense again. Under the force of this overwhelming suppression, they both even had their knees bowed slightly, and their breathing was visibly more labored now...
