"Buzz—"
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the crimson spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword seemed stunned, trembling but forgetting to stop.
It never expected that Lin Yun's words would not only render it useless, but would also cause it to make a mistake.
"So, your task now is to make amends for your mistakes. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you. Or, do you not believe I have the ability to kill you?" Lin Yun said with a light snort.
"Buzz—"
The Bloodthirsty Sword continued its dazed trembling, but soon these tremblings disappeared completely. Within the Bloodthirsty Sword, the crimson spirit shrank to a corner and trembled slightly.
However, it did not stop refining that spiritual energy. Large amounts of pure spiritual energy continued to pour into Lin Yun's mind space, and the speed not only did not slow down, but actually accelerated.
Furthermore, Lin Yun could clearly sense that the speed and amount of spiritual energy absorbed by this crimson spiritual entity had also decreased significantly.
"..."
This time, it was Lin Yun's turn to be speechless.
He never expected that his threatening words would have such a great effect.
Seeing the blood-red spirit trembling in fear, he couldn't help but feel as if he had just bullied a child, a child who couldn't speak and whose intelligence was incomplete.
"Could it be that the spirit of this Bloodthirsty Sword is truly lacking in intelligence? Is it mostly just acting on instinct?"
Lin Yun thought to himself.
The weapon spirit of the Bloodthirsty Sword reacted in this way, making him feel a little embarrassed to continue bullying it.
"Don't be afraid. As long as you behave, I won't kill you. I told you to absorb this spiritual energy, so absorb as much as you want, just don't absorb too much..."
After a pause, Lin Yun finally thought for a moment and spoke.
In a corner of the Bloodthirsty Sword's spatial dimension, crimson spiritual energy pulsed rapidly, seemingly nodding in agreement.
"..."
Lin Yun was speechless again.
After that, he stopped paying attention to it.
This bloodthirsty sword is indeed extremely malevolent; it's best not to let your guard down too much.
"唳——"
"quack--"
"Roar—roar—"
Just then, the surrounding mountains suddenly emitted a series of ear-piercing sounds, and a powerful aura suddenly surged towards him from all directions.
"not good!"
Lin Yun looked up and saw the surrounding scenery; his expression changed drastically.
Unbeknownst to him, he was surrounded by many powerful ghost cultivators.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
Lin Yun quickly counted the auras and soon determined that there were at least thirty or forty ghost cultivators, and each of them was no less than the second level of the Super Realm.
It must be because he went too far into the mountains while chasing those three ghost cultivators.
Lin Yun's heart sank.
"run!"
The next moment, Lin Yun dared not make any other reaction; he turned around and ran outside.
There were thirty or forty ghost cultivators, each of whom was no less than the second level of the Super Realm. If he were completely surrounded by these combatants, he would be in danger.
Even top-tier super-strong individuals at the fourth level of the Super Realm would likely face the danger of perishing.
Not to mention him, a half-baked individual who could only reach the third level of the Super Realm by using the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Lin Yun dodged several times and quickly escaped a great distance.
"Kill him!"
"Kill this human!"
"I haven't eaten the flesh and blood of a living being in so long!"
“He killed our kind. We can’t let him escape, otherwise he will bring more powerful creatures to kill us…”
All around, the voices of countless ghost cultivators rang out loudly, some angry, some heavy, and some sharp.
Many of the ghost cultivators were skilled in speed, or they were already in the direction Lin Yun was running from. In just a moment, Lin Yun was approached by several ghost cultivators.
Damn it!
Lin Yun's face turned somewhat ugly, and he cursed inwardly.
If he had known there were so many ghost cultivators here, he wouldn't have gone this deep.
He was too arrogant. Who would have thought that in the past, he only encountered one ghost cultivator at a time, and it was the same several times in a row. Just now, he only encountered three ghost cultivators together.
Now, we've suddenly encountered thirty or forty ghost cultivators?
The difficulty of the levels shouldn't increase like this!
"I was too eager to get those gray crystals. I should have kept my composure and stopped chasing after those three ghost cultivators when they had run a certain distance away..." Lin Yun sighed slightly.
The saying "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food" is truly apt.
In reality, if he did that, he might very well have met his demise.
"I've heard that if you encounter danger while climbing the Heavenly Dao Tower, you can send your thoughts to the tower to get out. Is that really true?" Lin Yun wondered to himself.
The Heavenly Tower challenge is not without its dangers, but if they encounter danger, they can choose to leave the tower... This is what the judges told them when they entered the tower.
Although he had heard about this before, the judges mentioned it again, and Mo Dan had also reminded him, so it must be true.
He just hadn't tried it yet, since trying it would mean leaving the tower, and he didn't want to do it unless it was truly dangerous. So, he was also feeling uneasy.
"If we can't escape the encirclement, this is probably all we can do..." Lin Qu smiled bitterly.
He was really unwilling to accept that he had only reached the fiftieth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower; he still had six months to complete the tower!
However, several ghost cultivators are now very close to him. If any ghost cultivator blocks him and delays him for even a little while, he will be caught up by the other ghost cultivators... If he doesn't leave the tower, he will most likely perish here.
Although very few cultivators perish while attempting to conquer the Heavenly Dao Tower, the accumulation of time over a long period has resulted in the deaths of quite a few.
Perhaps some brain-dead cultivator thinks this is also one of the tests of the Heavenly Dao Tower?
The allure of the Heavenly Dao Tower is too great for cultivators. It's not impossible for cultivators to try it out. Even with many precedents of failure, people will still rush to do it one after another.
As I said before, the allure of the Heavenly Dao Tower is too great for cultivators.
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
However, Lin Yun did not intend to do that.
However, he must do his best before leaving the tower.
"kill--"
Thinking this, Lin Yun looked at the fastest ghost cultivator and immediately stopped running away, instead heading towards him.
Lin Yun had already calculated the opponent's speed. The opponent was extremely fast. If he ignored the opponent and continued to escape in the same direction, there was a high probability that he would be stopped by two ghost cultivators, and a third ghost cultivator would arrive soon.
In that case, he would truly have no hope of escaping.
His only hope... was that he would take the initiative to confront the fastest ghost cultivator, quickly make contact with him, severely injure him, and prevent him from catching up with him, which would greatly increase his chances of survival.
