Chapter 286 – This chicken really holds a grudge

The speed difference made Lin Jichen feel strained for the first time since his rebirth.

His counterattacks and skills were easily dodged by the Chibi Bird.

A speed gap of nearly a hundred points wasn't just a bit faster.

In the past, Lin Jichen always relied on his speed to bully his opponents.

This time, it was his turn to be toyed with by a Golden Core Realm exotic beast in the same manner.

But he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

After all, the Chibi Bird was a wind-attribute exotic beast, and its realm was much higher than Lin Jichen's. It was only natural for it to be faster.

It was fortunate that Lin Jichen had always allocated his free attribute points to speed, making his speed top-tier among cultivators of the same realm.

If it were any other Crystal Formation cultivator, the Chibi Bird's speed would be two or even three times theirs.

Moreover, exotic beasts possessed considerable intelligence and were very experienced in combat.

The Chibi Bird, leveraging its speed advantage, gave Lin Jichen no chance, intending to wear him down through this playful approach.

After being injured by the Chibi Bird's claws for the third time, Lin Jichen lost his patience.

"Wind Thunder Sword!"

Lin Jichen turned into a shadow and disappeared in mid-air, reappearing in front of the Chibi Bird the next second.

"You damn wild chicken, let's see if I don't pluck you clean and roast you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jichen's usually unstoppable Wind Thunder Sword was dodged by the Chibi Bird.

Not only that, the Chibi Bird flapped its wings, and a large amount of wind elements began to gather in the void!

Two gusts of wind suddenly formed and swept towards Lin Jichen!

"Storm Sweep!"

The two gusts of wind rapidly expanded in the air, lifting grass, wood, and stones effortlessly. The howling wind made it feel like being in a storm.

Despite the extreme speed of the gusts, Lin Jichen's speed increased by 70% after activating Wind Thunder Sword, surpassing the Chibi Bird's speed.

Although the duration was short, it was a rare counterattack opportunity for Lin Jichen.

He turned into a shadow, closing in on the Chibi Bird, his sword dancing like a dragon.

Under the speed suppression, the Chibi Bird could no longer dodge and was slashed several times by Lin Jichen.

Seeing that the acceleration time was almost over, Lin Jichen seized the moment and swung a white frosty Sword Qi!

"Frost Moon Slash!"

The Sword Qi hit the Chibi Bird, causing a slowing effect, but it did not trigger the freezing effect.

Lin Jichen sighed in disappointment. If the freezing effect had triggered, he could have drained a significant amount of its health.

At the same time, the acceleration time of the Wind Thunder Sword was completely over.

But now that the Chibi Bird was slowed, it was equivalent to speeding up Lin Jichen.

The opponent is slowed down is Lin Jichen's acceleration.

This was called relativity.

Lin Jichen could still use the brief time to deal damage.

But he was no longer satisfied with normal attacks.

Lin Jichen channeled his mana, and the Dark Night Sword in his hand hummed excitedly.

Countless sword shadows suddenly appeared, revolving around Lin Jichen. The prelude and visual effect alone were full of Xianxia style.

This was what a Sword Cultivator was! Just the opening move was incredibly cool!

The players below could only look up at the battle in the sky, feeling an insurmountable gap and awe.

They were also Sword Cultivators, so why couldn't they use such flashy and cool sword moves?

As Lin Jichen finished his sword incantation, all the sword shadows and the Dark Night Sword flew towards the Chibi Bird.

"Blade Storm!"

Countless sword shadows followed the Dark Night Sword, forming a sword array that surrounded the Chibi Bird.

The sword shadows automatically began attacking the trapped Chibi Bird, and a series of damage numbers popped up above its head.

[-1650!]

[-1650!]

[-1650!]

Seizing the momentum, as the Blade Storm temporarily trapped the Chibi Bird, a Buddha seal appeared in Lin Jichen's hand.

As he raised his hand to the sky, the motion was smooth and fluid.

Above the sword array, a giant golden Buddha seal gradually appeared!

Seeing this, the Chibi Bird immediately chose to forcefully break out of the sword array.

But as it broke through, it was slowed again.

Forcing through the Blade Storm array inflicted a 40% slowing effect and a sword mark above its head, triggering the Armor Break effect.

Slowed again, the Chibi Bird could only watch helplessly as the Buddha seal slammed down!

[-4250!]

The Chibi Bird let out a mournful cry, which also triggered its ferocity.

Once the slowing effect wore off, Lin Jichen was once again on the defensive.

The Chibi Bird began darting around Lin Jichen at lightning speed, leaving him with no way to counterattack.

But the Chibi Bird didn't rush to attack him up close. Instead, it started erratically flying around him.

The players below were puzzled. Had the bird gone mad from the beating? What was it flying around for?

The next moment, shadow claw patterns appeared all around Lin Jichen.

Then, like a rain of arrows shot by a massive army, they all stabbed towards Lin Jichen!

"Shadow Claw!"

Although Lin Jichen used Phantom Step to escape the encirclement of the Shadow Claws, he was still hit by many of them due to his slower speed, losing over five thousand health points in an instant.

The damage he suffered was even more severe than the Chibi Bird's.

Moreover, the Shadow Claws were poisonous, and Lin Jichen's wounds turned green, continuously losing health.

Helpless, Lin Jichen had to take out a few elixirs and stuff them into his mouth, temporarily boosting his attributes while slowly recovering health.

When attributes were insufficient, elixirs came to the rescue.

Unfortunately, these elixirs were of too low a grade, providing only minimal attribute boosts, somewhat of a chicken rib.

But better than nothing, Lin Jichen wanted to enhance his strength as much as possible.

Seeing Lin Jichen still lively and vigorous, the Chibi Bird lost its patience. It let out a long cry, its entire body turning even redder, with flames seemingly flowing on each feather.

The Chibi Bird flapped its flaming wings, and the gusts rose again!

"Hurricane Blaze!"

This time, to everyone's shock, the storms carried flames, and the wind was burning!

The wind and fire elements seemed to merge into one.

The two gusts were far more powerful than before.

Wherever they passed, they left blazing flames, even scorching the air.

And because of the wind, the flames kept growing.

The players below were scorched, running for cover, watching as flames inexplicably ignited on their bodies, their health rapidly decreasing. They no longer dared to watch the fight up close and quickly retreated.

Others could barely dodge because the Chibi Bird's move wasn't aimed at them, but even the residual effects of the skill left them in such a sorry state.

As for Lin Jichen, the target, he wasn't so lucky.

The wind's speed far exceeded Lin Jichen's current speed.

Before he could escape, the two flaming hurricanes had already surrounded him.

Having just used a sword array to bully the Chibi Bird, the Chibi Bird retaliated with a wind-fire array, trapping Lin Jichen.

This wild chicken really held a grudge!
