Lin Xuan used his footwork 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 Hu Man's safety, so he hurried over.
As expected, Hu Man couldn't hold on for much longer.
The black fog around the black-robed man was thick and rolling. Four pitch-black chains extended from his sleeves like agile snakes, intertwining in the air.
"Senior Sister Hu Man!" Lin Xuan used the Phantom Thunder Step, and his speed reached an extreme. His body turned into a streak of light as he appeared between the two.
Sword Qi danced as Lin Xuan slashed at the pitch-black chains.
Swoosh!
Something strange happened. The sword didn't cut through the chains, but was instead entangled by the four chains. Strands of black fog came out and swam around the sword, corroding it.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. His sword shook lightly, 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 charged at 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 very close to the Sea of Soul realm now!" Hu Man waved her jade fan, creating a gust of wind.
"Keke, this is all thanks to you guys!" The black-robed man sneered. Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death!
"Ghost Fiend!"
You Shiyi's body floated back, and his hands formed a strange seal. Black fog rolled around his body, and a fifty-meter-tall ghost head appeared.
The ghost head was the size of a house, and it constantly changed shape in the air, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Wind Spirit Slash!"
Hu Man gritted her teeth, and the jade fan in her hand enlarged. A dark green hurricane flew out, leaving deep marks on the ground.
Peng! Clang!
Clang! The green hurricane crashed into the ghost face and disappeared. The ghost face only rippled like water, but it didn't break.
"Devour!" You Shiyi sneered, his hand seals changing.
The ghostly head suddenly bent down, opened its mouth, and swallowed Lin Xuan and Hu Man.
Their surroundings turned dark in an instant, and the two of them were able to see each other through the light of 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! "Homan panicked.
"Senior Sister Hu Man, follow me closely!" 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 …" Hu Man's beautiful eyes revealed a shocked expression. "Could it be sword intent?"
"Flying Star!"
Dazzling light shone, illuminating the boundless darkness. Soaring Sword Qi flashed past.
Outside, You Shiyi laughed wildly, "After devouring these two, I should be able to enter the Sea of Souls Realm completely!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely be put in an important position!"
An excited smile appeared on his pale face, and he looked very pleased with himself.
But in the next moment, something strange happened.
The house-sized ghost head suddenly cracked open, and a hole appeared. It was very small, like the tip of a needle. However, the hole grew bigger and bigger until it was torn into a huge crack.
"Impossible!" You Shiyi screamed.
Whoosh!
Sword Qi surged, and the sword intent was shocking. A sword light that looked like a golden thread pierced through his body.
"Sword … Sword intent!" You Shiyi's eyes widened, and his body collapsed.
Hu Man covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. Her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't accept it.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, placed his sword on his back and slowly exhaled. His face was pale, and he had used up more than half of his spiritual energy. Using Flying Star twice in such a short time was too much for him, 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 power had also increased by a lot.
"Half-step sword intent!" Wine Lord 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 already comparable to a ninth-stage condensed meridians. Once he grasped true sword intent, he might even be able to put up a fight against a soul realm martial artist!
Lin Xuan collected his thoughts and looked at the dead black-robed man. He used his soul power to search the body, and found a token.
He bent his fingers, and a suction force appeared in his palm, sucking 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 "You" written on it. Behind it was a black dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was very lifelike, as if it was alive.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Feng hasn't returned yet. Let's go take a look!" Lin Xuan put away the token, and the two moved, turning into afterimages as they ran.
Feng Bufan was very depressed. He had wanted to stay behind to help Fan Chong, but the black-robed man had swallowed his companion, and his strength had increased greatly. This had put him and Fan Chong in danger.
Fortunately, they were both ninth-stage condensed meridians, and together, they could resist for a while. However, as time passed, the black-robed man's strength increased, and now he and Fan Chong were both 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 Hu Man appeared.
When Fan Chong saw Lin Xuan, his heart was filled with joy and excitement. Even he didn't notice this change in his heart.
"Come help me!" Fan Chong shouted.
Lin Xuan took a step forward, pulled out the large sword on his back, and slashed out.
The green sword qi carried a sliver of sword intent, and its power was astonishing. It formed a rapid sound as it broke through the air, and crashed down.
Pu!
The black-robed man was killed by the combined efforts of several people.
Lin Xuan used his soul force to search, but didn't find anything. He looked into the distance and said in a deep 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 regarded him as their leader, and even Fan Chong didn't dare to oppose.
The four turned into flowing lights and disappeared.
Not long after, they met up with Huang Wei, and the group quickly rushed toward North Guard City.
When North Guard City appeared in front of them, Lin Xuan took out a signal flare and released it into the sky. A dark red cloud exploded in the sky, and could be seen from a hundred miles away.
When General Zeng and the others saw the signal, they all laughed to the sky. They didn't want to continue fighting, and after a desperate attack, their bodies turned into flowing lights and fled.
The silver eaglemen and the other demon beast leaders were incomparably angry. At this time, they also received the news, and their expressions became even more panicked.
