Chapter 4001: Fighting over the mine
“Rob their stores?” Chi Xuan was taken aback. This step was really too big. “Do you have a better idea?” Ling Han asked.
Chi Xuan only hesitated slightly, then nodded, “All right.”
They continued to observe, capturing the rhythm of these people.
“Every ten days, the Ghost Spirit Crystals dug out will be transported away.”
“The three guards are Spiritual Transformation Tier Yin souls, and the weakest is the one in the middle.”
“We’ll start with him.”
Ling Han and the empress waited. The three Spirit Transformation True Lord yin souls would take turns to stand guard here. The strength of their souls were early stage, middle stage, and late stage Spirit Transformation Tier. Thus, if they wanted to make a move, they would definitely have to wait until the early stage Spirit Transformation Tier yin soul was on duty. When that Yin soul arrived, Ling Han and Chi Xuan counted the days, and it was right until the tenth day, when they moved.
They had long since figured out the location of the storehouse. In truth, it could not really be considered a store. The crystals simply stacked together. That Yin soul of the early stage Spirit Transformation Tier was standing guard at the side, and in theory, it could be claimed to be absolutely safe.
“Are you really confident?” Chi Xuan asked.
They were both only in the Core Formation Tier. Though their souls were strong and healthy, and had advanced into the True Self Tier, there was still a gap of a major tier between their cultivation levels and Spirit Transformation Tier. This gap was extraordinarily wide.
Ling Han nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to my death.”
Although Chi Xuan was still worried, she could only trust him.
The value of the Ghost Spirit Crystal was too great.
With a leap, Ling Han had already charged towards that great yin soul. At this time, he no longer had to suppress the undulations of the soul, and flames of light instantly rushed out of his body, incredibly bright.
In the Netherworld, a living soul was practically a small walking sun, incredibly dazzling. “Yi?” That great yin soul immediately looked over, revealing an astounded expression, “There is actually a living soul that dares to attack? Haha, just in time, to satisfy this lord’s craving!”
A True Self Tier living soul could only be considered a delicious feast for it, but could not increase the strength of its soul by much.
Its palm struck over, and its arm actually continued to extend. From afar, it had already arrived in front of Ling Han.
Indeed, there was no need for the soul to be restricted by size. Extending one’s arm was naturally no big deal.
Boom, a palm strike shot out, its power astonishing.
Spiritual Transformation Tier!
If this were the Living Realm, and Ling Han encountered a Spiritual Transformation True Lord, he would definitely turn around and leave without another word. Otherwise, he would spit out the Heavenly Dao Flames from the Primal Chaos Extreme Lightning Tower.
However, this place was different. The strength of his soul was comparable to the middle stage of the True Self Tier, and the Destructive Energy had a powerful restraining effect on Yin souls.
‘Come!’
Boom, Destructive Energy surged and entwined around his fists. Ling Han let out a loud roar, and shot out punches like rain.
“What!” The Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul was shocked. Destructive Energy struck it, and it felt as if even its soul was trembling.
However, it had taken the initiative to attack, so how could it hold back now? Peng! It collided with Ling Han.
“Ah!” It immediately released a terrible scream, and one of its palms immediately melted. It was like water that had encountered fierce flames, and had been forcefully evaporated.
It hurriedly retracted its arm, its face filled with fury and shock.
With just a single strike, it had lost the soul in one of its arms, which could be said to have been a very heavy injury.
Meanwhile, Ling Han shook his head internally. As expected of a Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul. The damage caused by this strike was far below his expectations. Furthermore, he had also been completely numbed by the other’s palm strike, and felt indescribably terrible. If they continued to exchange blows like this, it was hard to say whether he would destroy the other completely first, or the other would shatter his soul first.
However, no matter what, he could not lose in terms of bearing.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and took the initiative to rush forwards, beginning to attack. For a moment, the Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul didn’t dare to face this head-on. That attack just now had caused it to lose more than one percent of its soul, and it didn’t want to lose any more.
One had to realize, was it easy for it to advance another step further?
There was no way to cultivate in the Netherworld, so he could only rely on devouring those at the same cultivation level to improve his soul. Moreover, the higher one’s cultivation level, the fewer yin souls there would be at the same cultivation level. Thus, it was extremely difficult to even raise one’s cultivation level by a tiny bit.
The more Ling Han looked like he was putting his life on the line, the more wary he would be, and the more cowardly he would appear.
Under Ling Han’s coercion, it continued to retreat.
Chi Xuan took the chance to run over, and began to collect the Ghost Spirit Crystals – she was only a spirit now, so she naturally stored the Ghost Spirit Crystals inside her own body.
“How dare you!” the Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul roared loudly, and was just about to charge towards Chi Xuan.
However, Ling Han moved forcefully, forcing this Spirit Transformation Tier yin soul to retreat.
It really didn’t want to fight Ling Han head-on at all.
It was only nine days’ worth of mining, and sacrificing one’s own soul for it was not worth it
at all.
With such a passive attitude, it allowed Chi Xuan to take away all the Ghost Spirit Crystals. “Thank you for your cooperation. See you next time.” Ling Han laughed loudly, and strode
off.
That Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul only chased a few steps before stopping. So what if it caught up?
Previously, when Ling Han had fought all out with it, it had only been continuously dodging. It had not wanted to clash head-on with Ling Han, and lose even the slightest bit of its soul. If
it caught up with them now, it would definitely be the same result.
It could be said that even if the Western Desert King moved, and could kill Ling Han with a single strike, he would definitely lose some of his soul. However, for a Sect Master-level Yin soul, this little loss was negligible.
Ling Han strode away, and very soon caught up to Chi Xuan. The two of them did not hesitate, and immediately exited the formation, and fled into the distance.
Perhaps the Western Desert King would soon arrive. If a Sect Master-level Yin soul made a move, they would only be waiting for death.
After they had walked far away, the two of them stopped, and shared the Ghost Spirit Crystals
evenly.
However, when Ling Han stored the crystals that belonged to him into his body, a strange
feeling rose up in him.
That was because this was something that had just been stored in Chi Xuan’s soul. There
seemed to still be a sliver of her soul fluctuation remaining, which gave rise to an
indescribably amazing feeling.
Chi Xuan also seemed to realize this, and couldn’t help but blush.
F***, this little girl clearly looked ordinary, but why could she give him a feeling of
wonderful enjoyment?
Ling Han hurriedly composed himself. He had more Ghost Spirit Crystals to refine.
“The two of you, please put down the Ghost Spirit Crystals.” A voice rang out, and a young man also walked out. His whole body was exuding white light, and his features were unclear, but it could be seen that his head was completely bald.
The soul could change form in a myriad of ways, but usually, it would simulate the original. Could it be that this guy itself was also bald?
“The Imperial Son of the Buddhist Race, Shi Yongming!” Chi Xuan’s expression became
serious.
“Benefactor actually recognizes this humble monk?” This bald young man gave a Buddhist proclamation, “Good, good, good. Previously, I was in the same team as the female benefactor. You claim that you are only a minor character in the Donglin Imperial Clan, but from the look of things now, the female benefactor should have an extraordinary
background.”
Ling Han also agreed internally. If she did not have some skill, she would have long since died
at the mine.
“Put down the Ghost Spirit Crystals, and you two can leave safely.” Shi Yongming said calmly, “I do not like to commit murder, so please do not make things difficult for me.”
