Chapter 4005: Waiting for an opportunity
Hearing Ling Han and Chi Menghan’s words, the early stage Spirit Transformation Tier great yin soul was immediately enraged.
The crystals had been snatched by Ling Han and Chi Menghan once, and he had already been harshly scolded by the Western Desert King. Now, not only had these two people come over when he was on duty, they were even shamelessly boasting that they would kill him.
Hehe, were living souls all so fond of jokes?
“You guys are really courting death!” it said balefully.
“Kill it!” Chi Menghan commanded.
“All right!”
Ling Han joined forces with her. The Heavenly Brilliance Technique was used, and instantly, their souls lit up. Shua, shua, shua! Multiple rays of brilliant light shot out like arrows from the sky.
The Yin soul in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Tier was shocked. The strength of these two living souls were only on par with the True Self Tier, so how could their combined might actually reach the level of the Spiritual Transformation Tier, and actually be capable of matching it?
However, it was naturally unafraid.
This giant monster approached, exchanging blows with Ling Han and Chi Menghan.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
The Heavenly Brilliance Technique unleashed its full might. With a single strike, the giant monster stumbled, and actually looked like it was outmatched.
The large monster was astounded. Were these two living souls transcendent above the gods? How could they be so terrifying?
Ling Han laughed loudly. His right hand and Chi Menghan unleashed the Heavenly Brilliance Technique together. Meanwhile, his left hand was wrapped with Destructive Energy, and he launched a barrage of attacks at the Spirit Transformation Tier yin soul.
This would be fatal.
In the first place, the large monster was already experiencing great strain, and now added with the Destructive Energy, it had become the last straw that was pressing down on it.
It didn’t dare to fight anymore, and hurriedly turned around to run.
However, how could Ling Han and Chi Menghan allow it to do as it pleased? The Heavenly Brilliance Technique unleashed its might, firmly trapping it. Then, the Destructive Energy unleashed its might, blasting its soul into continuous destruction.
Spiritual Transformation Tier elites were indeed powerful, but they couldn’t withstand this kind of expenditure. In less than half an hour, it was exhausted to death by Ling Han and Chi Mengguan.
Er, it was a yin soul in the first place, and was as dead as could be. Exhausting it to death was not a very appropriate word. In short, this time, it was really gone, completely disappearing from the world.
“We now have ten days.”
Ling Han and Chi Menghan moved, eliminating all the Yin souls that had been mining here. Then, the Donglin Imperial Clan sent a large number of people to replace the original miners, and began to mine madly.
The next time the Western Desert King sent someone over, that would be ten days later. It should be a Yin soul of middle stage Spiritual Transformation Tier. At present, even if Ling Han and Chi Menghan joined forces, they would only be able to fight to a tie, at most, but would not be able to destroy it.
Thus, when the time came, the yin soul only had to retreat, and bring the Western Desert King over. Then, Ling Han and the others would be completely wiped out.
In just ten days, they would dig with all their might!
They had a large number of people, so the efficiency of mining was naturally incomparable to those Yin souls from before. Meanwhile, Ling Han and Chi Menghan were personally mining as if their lives depended on it.
However, they were all souls, and the soul technique only had great destructive power against souls. However, against these mountain rocks, the effects were far inferior. The best method was still to use the Soul Tool as a tool to cut open the stone.
Ten days passed very quickly. They had also dug up a large pile of Ghost Spirit Crystals, and the Spirit Transformation Tier Yin soul under the command of the Western Desert King also
came.
Ling Han and Chi Menghan joined forces to fight, but though they could match this great monster, they couldn’t trap it. Though there was only a gap of a minor cultivation level between them, it was still much, much stronger.
Finally, this giant monster was scared off by Destructive Energy.
“Retreat.”
It was clear that the late stage, or consummate stage of Spirit Transformation Tier, and even the Western Desert King would be personally making a move next. It would be too dangerous to stay.
Moreover, they had mined for ten days, and their gains were already huge enough.
They retreated to the place where they had just entered. Most of the members of the Chi Clan had to return, and Ling Han and Chi Menghan still planned to stay here for a while longer.
In terms of the distribution of Ghost Spirit Crystals, Ling Han received 30%, while the Chi Clan received 70%.
This seemed very unfair to Ling Han, but firstly, this was indeed the territory of the Chi Clan, and secondly, the Chi Clan had also mobilized a large number of people to excavate. If it was Ling Han alone, his gains definitely wouldn’t be so great.
Actually, the fact that he was given 30% was because Chi Menghan had fought for it. Otherwise, giving him 10% would have been enough.
Ling Han only felt rueful about this, and that was Chi Menghan was indeed very good at conducting herself. She was generous, and her future prospects should be very amazing. The two of them had great ambitions. In fact, they even wanted to kill the Western Desert King, but this would require them to increase the strength of their souls to at least Spiritual Transformation Tier.
Thus, they began to refine the Ghost Spirit Crystals with all their might.
However, when the strength of Ling Han’s soul reached the peak stage of the True Self Tier,
he discovered that he couldn’t take another step further.
Just like how the strength of his soul had advanced into the True Self Tier, killing ordinary Yin souls would have no effect on him, and it was the same now.
He wasn’t the only one. Chi Menghan was the same.
This could only mean one thing, and that was there was an upper limit to how much the Ghost Spirit Crystals could improve one’s Spiritual Power, and that was the peak stage of the True
Self Tier.
Now, if they joined forces, they could even match Yin soul elites at the peak stage of Spirit Transformation Tier. However, against Yin soul elites at the level of Sect Master, they could only flee in panic, completely outmatched.
No wonder those Spirit Transformation Tier yin souls didn’t think of stealing from the Ghost Spirit Crystals they were guarding at all, because this was completely useless to them.
Ling Han still had many Ghost Spirit Crystals in his possession. Of course, these were still useful, as he could bring them out for the empress and the others.
“What do we do? Are we just going to retreat like this?” Chi Menghan was unwilling to give
up.
If they could kill the Western Desert King, the entire mine would belong to the Chi Clan. At that time, the younger generation of the Chi Clan would be able to cultivate their soul to an astonishing level, far surpassing their peers.
Ling Han remained silent. After a while, he turned to look at Chi Menghan, only to see that she was also looking at him. Her eyes were burning, and it was as if her entire soul was glowing.
“You’re not thinking the same as me, are you?” the two of them asked at the same time.
Ling Han laughed loudly, “The Western Desert King has been nurturing troops all this while. Sooner or later, a battle will break out, and at that time, we will take advantage of the opening
to cut him off!”
“That suits me,” Chi Menghan said with a smile.
The two of them were really extremely bold. They actually dared to cut them off and reap the gains of an existence like that.
“Let’s have a good discussion. If we really get into a battle, how should we proceed?”
The two of them were in high spirits. Now, the only thing that could make them wary was the Sect Master yin soul, and once the Western Desert King started fighting with other yin soul forces, their attention would definitely be focused on the Sect Master yin souls.
This gave them a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, this was also plucking chestnuts from the fire, so it would definitely be extremely
dangerous.
They were livinb souls, so no matter how much they suppressed their aura, as long as they were close enough, they would naturally be seen clearly.
However, this was a great opportunity, and they didn’t want to miss it.
Time passed faster here, and Ling Han began to deduce formation techniques. He and Chi Menghan cultivated the Heavenly Brilliance Technique together, trying their best to unearth the profound secrets contained within.
This was an Imperial Technique. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one would gain new comprehensions even if he cultivated diligently for his whole life.
Just like that, a month passed, and the two of them finally saw their chance.
The Western Desert King was about to mobilize his troops against the Heavenly River King.
