Dozens of martial practitioners armed with weapons surrounded Lu Xuan and Ling Jin as if they were facing a great enemy. Every one of them had a grave expression on their faces. The battle that had taken place in the Sikong family several months ago had already spread throughout the entire Holy Temple of Eight Directions. Now, there was no one who did not know the name of the God of Slaughter, Lu Xuan.
He had come alone from the Jiuhua Alliance, led the Anying Hall hidden in the Holy Temple of Eight Directions, and joined forces with the remnants of the Nangong family that had been defeated by the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. He had led a large group of people into the depths of the Sikong family and destroyed the Sikong family's Xumi Palace in one fell swoop. He had killed countless martial practitioners, and there were even rumors that one of the Sikong family's most important Archaeozoic Insect had been stolen.
After doing such a shocking thing, he was still able to escape from the Sikong family's heavy encirclement. Even the ancestor of the Sikong family, Sikong Zhengqing, had not been able to catch him. Instead, he had escaped into Heaven Fiend Valley and killed one of the four great hidden elders of the Sikong family, Sikong Nan. This was enough to make all the martial practitioners in the Holy Temple of Eight Directions pale at the mention of it. The name of the God of Slaughter had spread like wildfire.
Although Ye Ruida and Ye Wenjun had helped him, this was not important to most martial practitioners. As long as the result was the same, it was fine.
But now, Lu Xuan, who had disappeared for several months, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere again. No one dared to take him lightly. Even the presence of a powerful being like Sikong Dong was unable to dispel the fear in their hearts. After all, there were rumors that Sikong Nan was killed under the protection of Sikong Dong and Sikong Xi. If Lu Xuan could not even protect his own brother, who would believe that Sikong Dong could protect them?
Of course, these words and thoughts could not be revealed. Otherwise, before Lu Xuan could do anything, Sikong Dong would first end their lives. Right now, they could only brace themselves.
"This formation seems to have the effect of suppressing one's strength. I feel a heavy weight on my shoulders, as if I'm carrying a mountain," Ling Jin whispered into Lu Xuan's ear.
Lu Xuan replied in a deep voice, "They have long since made preparations, so they naturally won't let us have an easy time. However, right now, they don't know your strength. In a moment, I will attract their attention, and you find an opportunity to break the formation or kill that old man."
Ling Jin turned her gaze to Sikong Dong and said, "Under normal circumstances, killing him wouldn't be a problem. But right now, my strength has been greatly restricted, so it might be a little difficult. As for breaking arrays … I don't understand arrays."
Lu Xuan also felt a slight headache coming on. He didn't think that Sikong Dong's hatred towards him would be so great. Sikong Dong had guarded this place for a few months, and had even laid down such an inescapable formation. Lu Xuan's strength hadn't recovered yet, and his battle prowess couldn't be compared to before. If it wasn't for Ling Jin by his side, Sikong Dong would have been able to kill him without the help of this formation.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan quickly said, "Then you hold Sikong Dong back, I'll deal with these small fries. I'll try to find the flaw in the formation as soon as possible. Pay attention to my orders later."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ling Jin unreservedly believed in Lu Xuan.
Seeing that Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to make a move, Sikong Dong didn't choose to seize the initiative. Although he hated Lu Xuan to the bone, and wanted nothing more than to immediately kill him to avenge his two brothers, he had a deep understanding of Lu Xuan's strength and various methods. He knew that Lu Xuan wasn't someone who could be taken down in a short amount of time. Rather than advancing rashly and giving Lu Xuan an opportunity, it would be better to delay them here and wait for the Sikong Clan's reinforcements to arrive. At that time, even if Lu Xuan grew wings, he wouldn't be able to escape!
Just as Sikong Dong was thinking this, he suddenly felt his vision blur. It was Ling Jin, who had suddenly burst forth with extreme speed, suddenly attacking him. Before he could even react, Ling Jin's iron fist had already arrived at his side.
In a moment of desperation, Sikong Dong's Dantian suddenly erupted with power, and he instantly shifted three feet to the side, dodging Ling Jin's attack. However, Ling Jin didn't let him go. With a spin, her long leg kicked out, and a strong gust of wind attacked Sikong Dong.
However, Sikong Dong was still a peak expert who had experienced hundreds of battles. This little bit of time was enough for him to react. With a swoosh, a sword light flashed, and his sword chopped at Ling Jin's leg that was kicking at him.
The moment he attacked, Sikong Dong couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. This girl looked aggressive, but she had too little battle experience. She actually dared to use her legs to face his longsword. This time, he had to teach her a ruthless lesson.
However, Sikong Dong's smile quickly froze on his face. When his sword chopped down, it was as if he had chopped at Black Metal Essence. Not to mention teaching Ling Jin a lesson, it wouldn't even be easy for him to injure her.
With a clang, Ling Jin's attack paused slightly. However, the remaining power of her leg did not diminish, and directly kicked at Sikong Dong's chest. With a muffled sound, Sikong Dong let out a muffled groan, holding his chest as he retreated several feet away. His eyes revealed a look of disbelief. Just how did this girl train?
Although his sword had been hurried, and he had only used fifty percent of his full strength, but even so, it was enough to cut gold and break stone. Who would have thought that it wouldn't even be able to injure Ling Jin? At this moment, his eyes finally showed a hint of seriousness. It seemed that Lu Xuan had found this helper from who knew where. Her strength was definitely not ordinary, and could even be considered top-notch. It must be known that Ling Jin had to endure the suppression of the Golden Bell Array!
This exchange also allowed Ling Jin to have a preliminary understanding of Sikong Dong's strength. If she was at her peak, she should be able to obtain an absolute advantage within a hundred moves against a martial artist of Sikong Dong's level. At most, she would need less than three hundred moves to kill or heavily injure him.
However, she had just arrived at the Heavenly Sword Continent, so she was still not used to it. In addition, there was also the suppression of the array, so her strength could not compare to her peak. Even so, she was confident that she could fight evenly with Sikong Dong, and perhaps even gain a slight advantage.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Jin once again unleashed a thunderous attack. Although she looked a little thin and frail, she had the body of a demon. Under this beautiful and alluring body, there was an endless amount of power hidden!
And just as Ling Jin attacked Sikong Dong, Lu Xuan also slowly took out his Dusty Sword.
For a famed sword to be covered in dust was a kind of sorrow. And on the Demon Sealed Continent, the Dusty Sword had almost always been hidden by Lu Xuan, not having much use for it. But now that it had returned to the Heavenly Sword Continent, with the endless amount of natural energy around it, the Dusty Sword was finally about to reveal its brilliance once more.
Seeing this simple and unadorned longsword, all the martial artists surrounding Lu Xuan could not help but take two steps back, gulping, all of them cursing in their hearts.
Originally, they had thought that Sikong Dong would be able to hold off Lu Xuan, and that they would be able to restrain him from the side. Who would have thought that Sikong Dong, whom they had placed such high hopes on, would actually be suppressed by an unfamiliar girl, unable to attend to Lu Xuan at all. In this way, didn't they have to face the god of death, Lu Xuan?
