Chapter 1302: Chapter 1296: Demon Refining Pot

Zhao Tinghan intended to kill Li Changlin—everyone in the arena could see it clearly. Li Changlin had killed his opponent, and no one could nitpick about it.

Putting away the Blazing Flame Spear, Li Changlin had now secured five Divine Artifacts. His gaze shifted, falling on the three families that had yet to act.

For a moment, the three family members holding Divine Artifacts became immediately alert.

These three were Gao Chen, who controlled the Taiji Bell.

Hu Hongyi, who held the Demon Refining Pot.

Ren Zhiqi, who wielded Bo Ya’s Zither.

The Ten Great Divine Artifacts consisted of the Sky-opening Axe, Xuanyuan Sword, Zhen Tian Tower, Qiankun Ding, Blazing Flame Spear, Taiji Bell, Grand Thousand Mirror, Cangtian Seal, Demon Refining Pot, and Bo Ya’s Zither.

At this moment, Li Changlin already possessed the Qiankun Ding, Zhen Tian Tower, Blazing Flame Spear, Grand Thousand Mirror, and Cangtian Seal.

The Xuanyuan Sword and the Sky-opening Axe were in the Upper Realm for now, so they were temporarily out of reach.

But the Gao Family’s Taiji Bell, the Hu Family’s Demon Refining Pot, and the Ren Family’s Bo Ya’s Zither were now Li Changlin’s targets.

The three individuals wielding these Divine Artifacts were all Peak Virtual Energy Experts with the Power of Four Dragons.

However, seeing even Zhao Tinghan fail, they felt utterly hopeless in their chances of winning.

To be truthful, this was all due to the false information Li Changlin had provided earlier.

Li Changlin had feigned injury, leading everyone to believe he only possessed the Power of Sixteen Dragons.

But today, just moments ago, Li Changlin had defeated Zhao Tinghan, who had the Power of Twenty-Two Dragons. This had naturally put the remaining three on high alert.

Failing in a combat challenge on the arena wasn’t a big deal, but wagering one’s family Divine Artifact as the price of entry—that was something far less justifiable.

In his past matches, Li Changlin had seemingly never exerted his full power, easily dispatching his opponents with minimal effort.

The three of them weren’t much stronger than those previous challengers. If they stepped forward now, odds were, they would meet the same fate—a loss.

As such, Gao Chen, Hu Hongyi, and Ren Zhiqi hesitated.

Li Changlin frowned slightly, quickly deciphering their thoughts.

Pausing briefly, a plan swiftly formed in his mind.

Li Changlin then let out a soft laugh and said, "While there’s indeed a sense of gambling today, in the end, the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill are meant for the most outstanding disciples of each family. So I propose this: if the three remaining families only seek the Holy Fruit and the Grass Revival Pill, you can all join forces against me. If you lose, leave your Divine Artifacts behind. If you win, you can claim the Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pill but not any of the Divine Artifacts."

"In that case..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Chen and the others were immediately intrigued.

One-on-one, none of them could defeat Li Changlin. But if the three of them worked together, there was a chance they could overpower him.

And besides, even in the unlikely event they lost, the Divine Artifacts would only remain in the Li Family’s custody for fifty years, not causing any major loss to their families.

Gao Chen and the others thought it through and quickly exchanged glances, wordlessly communicating among themselves.

Finally, they nodded in agreement and decided to fight.

Still, without securing the Divine Artifacts as a wager, it was somewhat disappointing. Naturally, Gao Chen and the others weren’t fully satisfied and intended to haggle with Li Changlin.

Li Changlin didn’t mind in the slightest; his sole purpose was to lure them onto the stage.

In the end, he pretended to grudgingly agree to their request, adding two Divine Artifacts to the stakes.

The three of them would fight Li Changlin together. If they won, they would receive valuable Holy Fruit and Grass Revival Pills, as well as two Divine Artifacts.

As for how the spoils would be divided among the victors, that was none of Li Changlin’s concern—nor did he expect them to win in the first place.

Once an agreement was reached, Gao Chen, Hu Hongyi, and Ren Zhiqi leapt onto the arena. The three formed a triangular formation, surrounding Li Changlin in the center.

"Make your move!"

Li Changlin, calm and composed, held the Heaven-Reliant Sword and spoke indifferently.

Gao Chen sneered coldly. With a gesture, he struck his own forehead, summoning a massive bell above his head.

The Taiji Bell, reputed as the strongest defensive Divine Artifact throughout the ages, now loomed above him, suppressing the surrounding void.

Buzz!

The bell trembled, threads of spiritual energy coursing into Gao Chen’s body, instantly enhancing his strength to the Power of Twenty Dragons.

Almost simultaneously, Hu Hongyi summoned the Demon Refining Pot, while Ren Zhiqi called forth Bo Ya’s Zither.

The Taiji Bell specialized in defense, whereas the Demon Refining Pot and Bo Ya’s Zither focused on offense.

Gao Chen stood at the front to directly engage Li Changlin, while Hu Hongyi and Ren Zhiqi remained at a distance to launch attacks.

Their strategy had been pre-discussed; otherwise, they wouldn’t have rashly stepped onto the stage.

Li Changlin was a formidable adversary—none of them dared to underestimate him.

With Gao Chen ready to confront Li Changlin head-on, Hu Hongyi initiated the attack first. Opening the Demon Refining Pot, he unleashed brilliant beams of light that charged toward Li Changlin in mid-air.

Li Changlin swung the Heaven-Reliant Sword in a direct slash at the beam of light.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air as the beam of light appeared almost tangible—it wasn’t severed by Li Changlin’s swing.

The Heaven-Reliant Sword quivered, and the beam of light was merely distorted.

Instantly, Gao Chen didn’t hesitate. He spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Demon Refining Pot.

The pot’s surface radiated with dazzling light, and moments later, even more beams of light surged out from the pot.

One beam, two beams, three beams, five beams—by the end, a total of ten beams erupted from the pot’s mouth.

In an instant, the Demon Refining Pot unleashed ten strikes. Each beam of light possessed enough power to shatter the arena and obliterate an Inch Force Expert, radiating an unparalleled brilliance. One after another, the beams of light swept through the void.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Changlin wielded the Heaven-Reliant Sword, engaging in a fierce clash.

But eventually, the Heaven-Reliant Sword emitted a sorrowful hum, seemingly unable to withstand the brilliance exuding from the Demon Refining Pot.

The spectators widened their eyes, watching the spectacle on the arena with shock and awe.

Hu Hongyi, with no need to concern himself with defense, gave his all in this assault.

Unburdened by any concerns for his own safety, Hu Hongyi poured all his strength into his attack.

At the same time, Ren Zhiqi ascended into the air, seating herself cross-legged.

Placing Bo Ya’s Zither on her lap, she lightly strummed the strings with a delicate motion.

Immediately, ripples of soundwaves emanated from the zither strings. With a flick of her hand, the ripples surged toward Li Changlin.

This was an attack targeting the soul—distinct from attacks focusing on physical strength.

Sensing the immense threat, Li Changlin’s vigilance heightened. He swiftly employed the Eight Steps Chasing Cicadas, dodging the attack with rapid movements.

Below the arena, many members of the Li Family watched anxiously. Though their confidence in Li Changlin was unwavering, at this moment, they couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of tension.

After all, their opponent consisted of three Peak Virtual Energy Experts, each empowered by the strength of their Divine Artifacts. Combined, they commanded the Power of Twenty Dragons, sufficient to obliterate any Inch Force Expert with ease.
