Chapter 207 Mingya (Seeking Subscriptions)
Lin Rui and Blood Blade Ji were sprinting all the way, still having to deal with the slashing blade energy and Sword Qi from behind.
However, Qin Yan's dungeon truly wasn't large, and they had only run along the branch path for three miles before they saw a bronze door on the front left side.
Although Qin Yan was a figure from 3,000 years ago, his dungeon was still well-preserved. The air inside was fresh, the tunnels wide and tidy, and stone lamps made of luminescent stones hung on the sides, illuminating the interior as if it were daylight.
Lin Rui clearly saw a signboard hanging above that door with the words 'Guang Ji Hall.'
The group of Martial Cultivators from the martial arts world looked at this signboard from a distance, their emotions stirring even more intensely.
The name 'Guang Ji Hall' clearly indicated it was the name of a warehouse.
Lin Rui and Blood Blade Ji struck the door lock repeatedly with their blades, trying to break the lock and enter before the others.
However, the Heavenly Demon arrived first, swinging its tail and smashing it towards them.
"Get lost!"
Lin Rui's face was an iron blue, and he could only lead Blood Blade Ji to escape from the spot and steer clear from afar.
Behind him, Blood Blade Ji's eyes hardened, and the veins on her hand holding the blade bulged.
This monster, does it think it's still twenty days ago? Without Lin Rui's help, she was confident in facing down the Heavenly Demon herself.
Time and again, did they regard them as made of clay?
But just as Blood Blade Ji was about to strike, Lin Rui held her back with one hand. He locked the Heavenly Demon with a fierce intent of the blade, pretending to grit his teeth as he made a crunching sound, "Heavenly Demon! It seems you're asking for a beating."
The Heavenly Demon, hearing this, 'cackled' with laughter, "Just with you?"
Witnessing Lin Rui's posture, it felt extremely comfortable inside.
Asking for a beating? Who could beat it? Just with this lad and that Blood Blade Ji?
However, the blade intents of this master and servant were indeed strong. The Heavenly Demon acknowledged that the fellow's strength had indeed improved greatly compared to twenty days ago, but it was still insufficient in its presence.
While guarding against this human and demon, it swung its palm violently forward, smashing the almost breached door lock with a slap, and as the door swung open, the Heavenly Demon's entire body 'thudded', as if hit by a meteor, violently flying backward.
Behind that door was a large expanse of black vines, netted at the doorway like webs. They flung dozens of long tendrils, smashing them on the Heavenly Demon's body like whips, sending its massive body flying dozens of meters back and crashing into the stone wall behind.
It almost smashed a deep pit into the stone wall, blood plasma flowing from its mouth, sprawled across the wall.
The Heavenly Demon knew it had been tricked, silently cursing the lad for being too cunning. These two had distracted its attention with their blade intent, allowing it to overlook the dangers behind the door.
Seeing this, Lin Rui laughed. He had already warned it, but the creature didn't listen.
A series of exclamations sounded from the crowd at that moment.
"Be careful, these are Sixth Realm Devil Vines! Their lineage is at least close to a king level."
"Impressive, there might be two, no! At least three of them, do not get caught by them."
"Everyone, charge! There must be good stuff inside."
More people, however, were retreating, with those at the Fifth Realm backing away to several dozen meters immediately.
The rest of the numerous Fourth Realm Martial Cultivators also turned pale, fleeing in all directions.
But those black vines had already stretched towards them.
The speed and strength of these Devil Vines, even the Sixth Realm king-level Heavenly Demon couldn't dodge, let alone these Fourth Realm Martial Cultivators?
The black vines caught each one accurately, and numerous threads grew from the vines, penetrating into the flesh of these Martial Cultivators, draining their vitality in an instant.
When Duan Pengxuan arrived later, he first glanced at a 'Professor Han' hidden among the crowd. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
This person wore an armor very similar to the Heavenly Demon Armor but streamliner in design, with a colder tone and more aesthetically pleasing. He floated in mid-air.
In an instant, Duan Pengxuan understood that this person was unquestionably Professor Han.
Just from the style of the armor, it was evident it was a so-called technological creation of the otherworldly Heavenly Demons.
According to the intelligence, this person, although only a quasi-Sixth Realm, possessed an extremely powerful military power Mecha, with an overall combat power not inferior to their upper Sixth Realm experts. It could also burst forth briefly, reaching king level strength within five minutes.
The Mecha was an existence more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Armor, especially in recent centuries as those Heavenly Demons had integrated the rune arrays from the extreme celestial bodies into so-called power Mechas, increasing their combat power tremendously.
It's said that today's top Heavenly Demon Armors were purchased from the otherworldly Heavenly Demons and just given a new casing.
If it were anywhere else, Duan Pengxuan would have attacked Professor Han immediately, teaming up with the nearby Mr. Zhou to take him down!
The problem was, inside this dungeon, there were several other formidable enemies that Duan Pengxuan was exceedingly wary of.
Duan Pengxuan coldly shifted his gaze, turning to look inside the 'Guang Ji Hall', curious about what precisely was hidden therein.
But the first thing Duan Pengxuan saw were several rune Golden Needles controlled by Lin Rui.
—They were piercing through the gaps in the vine net!
Duan Pengxuan's pupils contracted slightly as he realized that Lin Rui intended to bypass those Heavenly Demon vines and directly use Flash Escape to enter 'Guangji Hall'.
At that moment, not only he, but Zhou Changgong also realized they could no longer delay; otherwise, Lin Rui would gain the upper hand.
He maneuvered his master's 'Blazing Blood Dragon' forward fiercely, each hand grabbing a black vine, causing the two Heavenly Demon vines to burn intensely.
Though the bloodline of this 'Blazing Blood Dragon' was only of a royal rank, its level was as high as the seventh realm!
The Heavenly Demon vines couldn't resist at all and burned intensely from the inside out.
At this time, the demon dragon counterattacked, tearing a large part of the vine net with one grab.
Duan Pengxuan's Titanium Gold Dragon also followed closely, slashing the remaining vine net into pieces.
The two men and one dragon teamed up and in an instant, they severely damaged these three demon vines; the remaining vines shrank back like frightened snakes, retracting into the ground.
However, Lin Rui had already entered a step ahead of them using the method of Thunder Escape, taking advantage of the Golden Needle to flash in first.
He immediately headed for a wooden rack inside 'Guangji Hall' and grabbed a long, narrow iron box placed behind it.
The faces of the two men and the dragon turned pale, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in their eyes.
However, the next moment, they saw Lin Rui smash the long, narrow iron box with a palm and take out a gleaming, luminous flying sword.
Joy filled Lin Rui's eyes.
The demon dragon was slightly taken aback and looked confused, "Lin Rui, did you rush here just for this thing?"
It looked around and noticed that the so-called 'Guangji Hall' mostly contained weapon racks and medicine cabinets.
There were also several small rooms nearby, piled with large amounts of food and condiments.
Indeed, it was a warehouse, but they hadn't discovered the Dragon Blood Destiny Pill yet.
"Of course it's for this thing!"
Lin Rui slashed his finger, smearing the blood on the flying sword.
The name of this flying sword was 'Mingya', and although it only had the attributes of light and thunder, its level reached beyond the sixth realm of kings! It was the best flying sword in the warehouse.
Although its attributes were not entirely suitable for him, its power was much greater than his previous fourth realm flying sword.
Besides, if he ever had the chance to go to Luojing later, he could easily trade this sword for one that was truly suited to him.
Lin Rui smiled slightly, "There are so many fine weapons here, over two hundred in total, the lowest being of the fourth realm, and there are also more than a dozen of the sixth realm. Demon Dragon, you can pick one too."
He was not greedy; he just wanted the best one, and to take two good ones for Wang Sen and Lin Xi, the rest he did not mind leaving behind.
Lin Rui had no intention of becoming a target.
By now, those who had poured into the warehouse were fiercely fighting over the items; they were either battling around those weapon racks or searching through the medicine cabinets.
However, these people dared not approach Lin Rui, wisely keeping their distance.
Everyone had witnessed the ferocity of this Defense Enforcer; they knew that although he was only of the fourth realm, he could easily slay those of the fifth realm. His combat strength was exceptionally high and not to be provoked.
As long as the Defense Enforcer wasn't excessive, they were unwilling to risk fighting over what he had.
A weapon of the sixth realm king rank was precious, but not worth risking their lives over.
Even Duan Pengxuan and Zhou Changgong, among others, picked up a few blades; they similarly did not want to provoke the crowd over these weapons, entangling with the Martial Cultivators of the rivers and lakes.
The demon dragon was frustrated at this revelation, thinking, if only you had said so sooner! It wouldn't have been in such a rush to fight, taking those few lashes.
It then looked down at its two claws, a hint of helplessness in its eyes.
Though the weapons were fine, they were of no use to it.
Yet the demon dragon still grabbed a sixth realm royal sword and tucked it into the pouch hanging at its waist, thinking perhaps it could eventually transform into a dragon if it got that pill.
"Where is that Dragon Blood Destiny Pill?" Zhou Changgong's gaze was as sharp as a knife, pressing Lin Rui, "Where in the cave is this pill bottle?"
"How would I know where this thing is? I don't need it."
Lin Rui, looking calm and composed, wielded the 'Mingya Sword' in front of him, making various movements.
He was getting familiar with this sixth realm flying sword: "Isn't there a lot of medicine cabinets over there? Maybe it's hidden inside."
Duan Pengxuan and Zhou Changgong, among others, had been keeping an eye on those medicine cabinets.
The rivers and lakes Martial Cultivators' fighting grew increasingly fierce, overturning all the medicine cabinets, causing a large amount of medicine bottles and herbs to spill out everywhere.
Just then, Duan Pengxuan saw that 'Professor Han' suddenly made a move, reaching out toward one of the medicine cabinets.
"Hmm?" Duan Pengxuan's eyes widened immediately, his gaze sharp.
