As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so Lin Family disciples surrounded Lin Jian at the same time.

Lin Jian's brows slightly knitted, the sword in his hand flipped, and the blue body of the ice sword streaked across in a streak of ice in the air, like a profound ice barrier, it blocked the first few incoming attacks. With a * peng peng peng * sound, several of the Lin Clan disciples were forced back.

So, Lin Jian could only use his movement skills to dodge and gain some time to relax. After that, he used the Cold Ice Sword to retreat and unleash the full might of the Aquatic Sword Technique. The sword force was like a vast river and as he poured spirit energy into it, it was as if there was an angry dragon raging and roaring.

"That is my sword! Damn, it was indeed you, a trash who killed Lin Qinghu, yet you still use this young master's sword to deal with me. Lin Yan was infuriated, he unsheathed the Sword that was far from being as good as the Ice Sword and jumped into the battle.

Suddenly, the pressure on Lin Jian increased greatly.

What he had been worried about the most had now occurred. He had sunk into a bitter battle.

Originally, Lin Jian planned to capture all the thieves first and capture Lin Yan in one move, causing him to lose the ability to fight. This way, the other disciples in the other branches of the families would not be able to pose much of a threat to him. However, he never expected that Lin Yan had such a precious mid-grade armor talisman on him.

That Armour Rune stopped his attack, causing Lin Jian's plan to fail as well.

"This bunch of damned rich people …"

Lin Jian sighed in his heart.

In fact, talismans were like pills, they were extremely rare and precious items in the Nine Regions Continent.

Although the Armor Rune on Lin Yan's body was only of the middle grade, it was able to block a full-power attack from a practitioner below the Qi Refining stage.

At this moment, Lin Jian was caught in a heavy encirclement. Even though he was relying on the tyranny of the Dragon Yuan Power, fighting one against fourteen, and was not at a disadvantage, he could only passively defend, unable to retaliate at all.

As the saying goes, a long defense means certain defeat.

Lin Yan and the others also saw this point. They did not attack forcefully, but chose to use besieging tactics.

In fact... Amongst the Five Elements Swords, the Water Element Sword Art was considered a durable defense. Although its defensive power was only second to the Earth Element Sword Art, if it were to last long, after mastery, it would be impossible for Lin Yan and the others to break through its defense with the sword spirit he possessed in his previous life. Otherwise, Lin Yan wouldn't have waited this long.

"Hurry, take him down!"

Lin Yan clenched his teeth, looked at the calm and composed Lin Jian, and an emotion named jealousy turned into raging anger, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

To be fair, if he and Lin Jian stayed in the same place, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for that long. In twenty breaths time at most, they would be surrounded and killed. He called Lin Jian a piece of trash, but in reality, even he himself knew that this trash was already thousands of times stronger than him.

"You must die! "Trash, you must die!"

Lin Yan was completely unable to accept this.

At this moment, the secret realm space slightly shook. The sword Qis that had been scattered throughout the world suddenly gathered together with this vibration.

"That's …"

Everyone's faces changed. Not far away, they saw a tornado made from sword Qi was taking shape.

"Damn it!" Sword Intent Storm?! "

Lin Yan's pupils shrank as fear leaked out of his eyes and he scolded, "How could this happen? Isn't this a period of peace? Not even three days have passed, why did this storm of sword intent start again? "

Seeing that, Lin Jian was also surprised, he had initially planned to use a secret technique to obtain a short burst of power and resolve the battle in front of him, but did not expect the sword force in his body to be activated, causing the space in the secret realm to resonate with him.

"Was the storm caused by me?"

Lin Jian had a strange look on his face.

While they were confused, the tornado had already been formed. The howling gale that was accompanied by a sharp sword qi was rushing straight towards them!

"Not good, let's quickly avoid it!"

The expressions of Lin Yan and the rest changed greatly. Facing the onslaught of the storm of sword intent, they could not care less about surrounding and annihilating Lin Jian as they turned around and fled.

Although this tornado was formed in a hurry and did not have the true Sword Intent Storm like the horrifying might that covered the entire secret realm, it was still fatal for them who were at the Body Refinement Realm.

"Let's go!"

Lin Jian's expression turned solemn, he also planned on avoiding them.

But who knew that when he moved, the storm of sword intent would suddenly accelerate and crash into him!

In just a single breath, Lin Jian's clothes were tattered. The white robe had already turned into strips of cloth, and the exposed skin on his body was also left with streaks of red marks from the storm.

This was the effect of tempering one's body with Sword Qi.

However, the reason why the storm of sword intent was so terrifying was not because of the sword Qi, but rather the sword intent.

The sword qi could be blocked through cultivation techniques and elemental energy control, but the sword intent was different. One could only rely on one's willpower to digest it.

When Lin Jian entered into the storm, other than the sword aura, there were also streams of completely different complex sword intents that rushed into his sea of consciousness, causing mental attacks towards Lin Jian. Once Lin Jian was unable to digest all of the complex sword intents, his cultivation method would no longer function.

Once the cultivation technique stopped, the Dragon Yuan Power in Lin Jian's body would no longer continue to defend against the attacks of the Sword Qi. At that time, other than being killed by the Sword Qi, there would not be a second outcome.

Lin Jian's face turned gloomy, he immediately calmed his mind and sunk into his sea of consciousness.

But Lin Jian was different. He was the reincarnation of the sword spirit, and the sword intent was like a source of power to him. If he could absorb and refine the sword intent, it would be greatly improved.

"Roar!"

Just then, a dragon's roar sounded out in Lin Jian's sea of consciousness.

The golden dragon image was riding the cloud and controlling the wind and clouds in his sea of consciousness, devouring the sword intent that had invaded this place.

It turned out that the Spirit Devouring Method had controlled the passive protection of the dragon's vein and helped Lin Jian to refine a portion of the sword intent.

After a few breaths of time, most of the sword intent that had invaded's sea of consciousness had been solved by Lin Jian and the Spirit Devouring Method. As Lin Jian's body was enveloped in the storm, he continued to receive the sword aura's tempering and strengthening.

"He's here!"

Lin Jian's eyes lit up. The cultivation realm was already close to the door, and with the signs of a breakthrough, he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

In a split-second, the Dragon Yuan Power in Lin Jian's body filled up and began to circulate throughout his entire body. All of them rushed to the fifth Yang vein of his eight extraordinary meridians, and began to launch wave after wave of ferocious attacks.

BOOM!

It was like a flood breaking through a rock dam.

Fifth grade Refining Body, success!

Lin Jian's mind was wandering, but at the moment, he was extremely satisfied, and had a faint feeling of floating.

However, at this moment, there was another movement in his Sea of Consciousness!

A sword intent suddenly erupted!

"What?"

Lin Jian frowned, and immediately sunk into his sea of consciousness, only to see a broken sword coming from nowhere, attacking the depths of his sea of consciousness. The moment it appeared, was exactly when Lin Jian had broken through, his mind was the most defenseless, and after it appeared, it immediately launched the most ferocious attack, it could be said to have been premeditated for a long time.

A dragon's roar sounded out in his sea of consciousness. The Spirit Devouring Method controlled the dragon fountain Qi and stood in front of the broken sword.

"That is …" Sword Spirit? "

Lin Jian looked at the broken sword, and felt a familiar aura from within: "No wonder this secret realm is getting more and more unstable, and the storm of sword intent is also continuing to grow longer and longer. So it turns out that a sword spirit has already been birthed within this broken sword, it's truly unbelievable."

However, what was even more inconceivable was the Sword Spirit's plan.

It could sense the aura of someone of the same sect from Lin Jian's body, which was why it had instigated the storm of sword intent to attack him.

This was possession!

Lin Jian laughed faintly: "In terms of being a sword spirit, I am your ancestor. With your insignificant broken sword, the sword spirit that you hatched is incomplete, and you actually planned to possess my body. You are truly a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger … Spirit Devouring Method, go! "Swallow it!"

With that, the Spirit Devouring Method transformed into a dragon. Roaring, it rushed towards the broken sword, opening its mouth and biting onto the blade of the sword. With a cracking sound, the broken sword actually broke into pieces!

The dragon beast bit down on the sword blade, crunched it into pieces and swallowed it into its stomach. A wave of pure spirit energy was refined out, causing Lin Jian's realm to improve by a lot, immediately stabilizing the recently broken through body refining fifth level.

"I almost forgot, the Spirit Devouring Method itself relies on the Devouring Spirit Body for cultivation. Since you plan on possessing me, then I won't be polite with you."

With that said, Lin Jian controlled the dragon and rushed towards the spirit of the broken sword.

Weng! *

The sword spirit trembled and turned around to flee!

With a hum, the sword spirit flew out of Lin Jian's sea of consciousness. Under the protection of the sword storm, it frantically escaped.

Lin Jian frowned, how could the duck in his hands let it go? Swallowing this sword spirit would definitely bring great benefits to the Spirit Devouring Method. It was such a godsend opportunity, it would be a pity not to grab it.
