Lin Xuan used his movement technique to rush forward. Firstly, he hated Fan Chong, so he wouldn't attack. Secondly, he felt that the black-robed man's aura had suddenly become much stronger. He was worried about Human's safety, so he hurried over.
As expected, when he arrived, he found that Human couldn't hold on any longer.
The black-robed man's body was covered in dense black fog. Four pitch-black chains extended from his sleeves like agile snakes, intertwining in the air to attack.
"Senior Sister Human!" Lin Xuan used Phantom Thunder Step, his speed reaching an extreme. His body turned into a streak of light as he instantly appeared between the two.
Sword Qi danced as Lin Xuan slashed at the pitch-black chains.
Hualala!
Something strange happened. The sword didn't cut through the chains, but was instead entangled by the four chains. Strands of black fog appeared and swam around the sword, corroding it.
Lin Xuan's pupils shrank. His sword trembled slightly, and the rust on the dark red sword fell off. Fiery red runes flickered, overflowing with light. In the next moment, the golden lightning in his body also surged out, crackling as it rushed towards the black-robed man.
Chi!
When the two forces collided, it was like ice meeting fire, constantly fusing with each other.
"Junior Brother Lin, be careful. This black-robed man has swallowed the dead You Shisi, and his strength is constantly rising. He's now very close to the Spirit Sea realm!" Human's jade fan whistled, fanning out a gust of wind.
"Keke, this is all thanks to you guys!" The black-robed man, Gamma Aquarii, laughed sinisterly. Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death!
"Ghost Fiend!"
Gamma Aquarii's body floated back, her hands forming a strange seal. Black fog churned around her body, and a fifty to sixty feet tall ghost head appeared.
The ghost head was the size of a house, constantly changing shape in the air, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Wind Spirit Slash!"
Human clenched her teeth, and the jade fan in her hand grew larger. A dark green hurricane flew out, scraping a few deep marks in the ground.
Peng! Clang!
The green hurricane hit the ghost face and kept disappearing. The ghost face only rippled like water, but it didn't break.
"Devour!" Gamma Aquarii sneered, and her hand seals suddenly changed.
The ghostly head suddenly bent down and opened its mouth, swallowing Lin Xuan and Human.
Their surroundings instantly became dark, and the two of them were only able to see each other through the light of their spiritual energy.
Countless mucus-like things flew towards them, each of them carrying a strong corrosive aura. When they landed on their protective spirit light, sizzling sounds could be heard.
"What should we do? My defense is quickly disappearing! "Human panicked.
"Senior Sister Human, follow me!" Lin Xuan shot out a sword light from his eyes, as if it could cut through everything. His aura became fierce and wild, as if it could tear everything apart.
"This is …" Human's beautiful eyes revealed a shocked expression, "Could it be sword intent?"
"Heavenly Meteor!"
A dazzling light lit up, illuminating the endless darkness, and a soaring sword qi flashed past.
In the outside world, Gamma Aquarii laughed arrogantly, "After devouring these two, I should be able to completely enter the Spirit Sea Realm!"
"At that time, I will definitely be put in an important position!"
An excited smile appeared on his pale face, and his expression was very proud.
However, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
The house-sized ghost head suddenly cracked open, revealing a very small hole, like the tip of a needle. However, the hole grew crazily, and finally tore into a huge crack.
"Impossible!" Gamma Aquarii screamed.
Whoosh!
Sword qi surged, and the sword intent was astonishing. A sword light that looked like a golden thread quickly pierced through his body.
"Sword … sword intent!" Gamma Aquarii's pupils gradually widened, and his body collapsed.
Human covered her small mouth, her eyes full of shock. Her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, placed his sword on his back and slowly exhaled. His face was somewhat pale, and more than half of the spiritual energy in his body had been consumed. He couldn't bear to use Heavenly Meteor twice in such a short period of time, and the second time was when he used it with sword intent.
However, he still gained something. In that instant, he felt that the sword intent in his body had become stronger, and its might had increased significantly.
"Half-step sword intent!" Lord Alcohol transmitted, "I believe you will soon be able to grasp true sword intent."
"True sword intent." Lin Xuan's heart burned. He had only grasped a sliver of sword intent, and his strength was comparable to a ninth stage Meridian Condensation cultivator. Once he grasped true sword intent, he might even be able to put up a fight against a Soul Realm warrior!
Putting away his thoughts, Lin Xuan looked at the dead black-robed man. He circulated his soul force and searched the black-robed man's body, and found a token.
He bent his fingers and exerted some force, creating a suction force in his palm that sucked the token into his hand.
The token was made of a very strange material. It was neither gold nor stone, but it was extremely hard. The palm-sized token had the word "Nether" written on it. Behind it was a black dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was lifelike, as though it was alive.
"Senior Brother Feng hasn't returned yet. Let's go take a look!" Lin Xuan put away the token, and the two moved, leaving afterimages behind as they ran.
Fan Chong was extremely depressed. He had wanted to stay behind to help Fan Chong, but the black-robed man had devoured his companion, and his strength had increased greatly. This had put him and Fan Chong in danger.
Thankfully, the two of them were at the ninth stage Meridian Condensation realm, so they were able to resist for a period of time. However, as time passed, the black-robed man's strength grew. Now, both he and Fan Chong were injured.
"Damn that Lin Xuan, why isn't he back yet!" Fan Chong gritted his teeth.
In the distance, two figures ran over. Lin Xuan and Human appeared.
When Fan Chong saw Lin Xuan, joy and excitement rose in his heart. Even he didn't notice this change.
"Come and help me!" Fan Chong yelled.
Lin Xuan stepped forward, pulling out the large sword on his back and slashing out.
The blue sword energy carried a thread of sword essence. Its power was astonishing. It formed a rapid sound as it slashed down.
Pu!
At the hands of the black-robed man, he was killed by the combined efforts of several people.
Lin Xuan used his soul power to search, but didn't find anything. He looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "The black-robed man is dead. Let's hurry and meet up with Huang Wei!"
The three didn't have any objections to his words, and didn't dare to. After this battle, everyone's understanding of Lin Xuan had changed completely. The three vaguely thought of him as their leader. Even Fan Chong didn't dare to object.
The four of them turned into streaks of light and disappeared.
Not long after, they met up with Huang Wei, and the group quickly rushed towards North Guard City.
When North Guard City appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Lin Xuan took out a signal flare and released it into the sky. A dark red cloud exploded in the sky. It could be seen from a hundred miles away.
When General Zeng and the others who were fighting in Mountain Overlook City saw this signal, they all raised their heads and laughed. They didn't want to continue fighting. After attacking with all their might, their bodies turned into streaks of light and fled.
The Silver Eagle Man and the other demon beast leaders were incomparably furious. At this time, they also received the news, and their expressions became even more panicked.
"What, the Underworld Death Guards are all dead!"
