Lin Xuan slowly turned around and saw a thirty-meter-tall dragon-elephant on a hill ten miles away, locking onto him from afar.
The dragon-elephant's entire body seemed to be cast in gold, reflecting a dazzling metallic luster. It spread out its four hooves and rushed down the hill with rumbling steps, charging at Lin Xuan at full speed.
A ferocious and bloodthirsty aura spread out in all directions, causing all beasts to go into hibernation and birds to become extinct.
This was a late-stage fourth-rank golden dragon-elephant. Its huge body contained a power that could destroy heaven and earth.
It was the overlord of this area. The moment it saw a human appearing in its territory, it was infuriated.
Unfortunately, it had found the wrong target today.
Roar!
In the blink of an eye, the golden dragon-elephant rushed in front of Lin Xuan. Its sharp tusks shone with a hundred-meter-long sharpness, cutting through the void like two large knives, and fiercely pushed at Lin Xuan, as if it could flatten everything. Its momentum was unstoppable.
Lin Xuan's figure did not move at all, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly in disdain.
Seeing the golden dragon-elephant charging at him, he suddenly took a step forward!
Boom!
The ground suddenly shook, and a terrifying force came from the ground, causing the golden dragon-elephant to jump more than ten meters from the ground.
The golden dragon-elephant was shocked. It was only at this moment that it realized that the large human in front of it, who had expanded several times, had a cultivation base as high as the fifth-rank!
Roar —
The golden dragon-elephant cried out in shock, and hurriedly turned to flee.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Lin Xuan flew up, and his two large hands grabbed one of the golden dragon-elephant's tusks, and forcefully broke it!
Crack crack!
Two crisp sounds rang out.
The golden dragon-elephant's sturdy tusks were broken, and its huge body was fiercely impaled on the ground. It could not help but let out a shrill cry of horror.
However, it stopped abruptly halfway through its cry.
A large foot stepped on its head, swallowing and spitting out a vast power that could take its life at any time.
"Spare — spare me!"
The golden dragon-elephant spat out a sentence in human language that it was not familiar with.
"Tell me the Dragons clan's plan!" Lin Xuan said coldly.
The Golden Dragon Elephant's huge eyeballs turned and said, "The seven Dragon Kings plan to gather the Dragons clan's army and attack Lizhou in the south. They also want us, the drakes, to follow the army."
"Really? Unfortunately, I don't believe it! "
Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold as he exerted force with his foot. With a loud bang, the mountain-like head of the Golden Dragon-Elephant was stomped into meat paste by Lin Xuan. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Lin Xuan lightly shook his armor, shaking off the pieces of flesh on his body. Then, he stepped into the air, heading towards Lizhou in the south.
Lizhou had now become the frontline of the human race in the Northern Wilderness, and the person in charge of Lizhou was originally a marquis of the Daqian dynasty.
However, when the Dragons clan was expanding, the Marquis had immediately abandoned the Marquis Kingdom and fled to the mainland. Later on, he was sacrificed by Lin Xuan.
The current Lizhou nominally belonged to a small country called the Mirage Kingdom.
Although this was still considered the territory of the human race, most of the people left behind were ordinary people who had no power and no ability. Those who had some strength had already fled to the mainland.
Lin Xuan stood in the sky and saw smoke everywhere on the vast land, but he could not see any soldiers stationed there.
It could be seen that before the Dragons clan's army arrived, the Mirage Kingdom's army had already fled, leaving the countless mortals to fend for themselves.
Lin Xuan's heart was a little heavy.
If it was in the past, he would not have cared so much about the lives of mortals. However, now, he was the master of the Human Sovereign Sword and wielded the Xuantian Holy Sword. He looked at the problem from a different perspective.
He needed to focus on the human race as a whole, and not just on the warriors of the human race.
Because it was the billions of ordinary mortals that formed the foundation that maintained the existence of the Xuantian Holy Sword.
Therefore, to let the mortals in the world live was also a responsibility that he could not shirk.
He turned to look at the north and sighed softly.
From the fierce north wind, he could already feel a strong murderous aura. It seemed that the Dragons clan was not far away, and he did not have much time left.
The Dragons clan might pass by Lizhou, or even other prefectures, and head straight for Shuo Province.
It was also possible that they would kill their way through and destroy all the human cities along the way. And for the experts of the Dragons clan, this was not a difficult task. They just needed to do it in passing.
If he wanted to stop the Dragons clan from wreaking havoc in Lizhou, he had to do it before the Dragons clan entered Lizhou.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled into a sinister smile.
"The Dragons clan is not weak, and the Sword Maste is not weak either. Since you all want to cause trouble, then I'll let you all fight."
Lin Xuan's Sky-Shattering Infinite Armor suddenly shook, and immediately broke through the air, disappearing into the western horizon in the blink of an eye.
…
In the west of the Central Plains was a boundless desert.
The desert was not completely made up of sand.
There were a large number of ferocious Sand Beasts here, as well as all kinds of strange Half Beastmen. There was also an ancient Quicksand City whose location was constantly changing. There was also a huge stone hill half buried in the sand called the Sword Tomb.
The stone mound that the Sword Maste was on had a diameter of one thousand li above the ground. As for how large the underground portion was, no one could say for sure.
No one knew the origin of the stone mound. The world only knew that several thousand years ago, a sword sect called the Sword Maste had risen to prominence. By forging swords, selling swords, and practicing swords, they had slowly grown into a super sect, a power that could not be ignored, enough to influence the world.
To this day, the Sword Maste had more than one million disciples, and its vassal clans and sects numbered in the thousands. Its influence spread throughout the world.
Even though some time ago, the Sword Maste had encountered an unprecedented turmoil because of the Ji Clan, it had not been defeated. Moreover, among all the super powers, the Sword Maste was the first to stabilize its situation, recovering from the civil strife.
At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Sword Maste, a group of Sword Maste's higher-ups were seated, discussing the future strategic direction of the Sword Maste.
"Head, this Old Man believes that the world is in chaos right now. So, there is no leader. Our Sword Tomb is the pillar of the True Martial World. So, we have the responsibility and obligation to form a new unified imperial court. We have to end this chaos, and save the people from their misery!" an elder of the Sword Tomb said in a righteous manner.
Another Elder shook his head, and said, "Elder Wang, your words sound very reasonable, but it is very difficult to carry out.
We once supported the Lian Clan, and established a great empire. Unfortunately, the fate of a nation is not something that can be obtained just because you want it.
We spent so much manpower on the Lian Clan back then, but what about now?
In the blink of an eye, the Lian Clan has sided with the Ultimate One Sect, and become Lin Xuan's meat in the bowl. What can we do? "
Elder Wang sighed, and said fiercely, "Lin Xuan, that brat, is just a bit lucky. Do you think that we, the Sword Maste, a great sect with three thousand years of history, should be afraid of a mere brat?
In my opinion, we don't have to be afraid at all. We should just destroy the Ultimate One Sect with lightning speed, and let that brat Lin Xuan wake up, and let him know his place! "
Another person said, "Elder Wang, you make it sound easy, but don't forget that Lin Xuan is now the master of the Human Sovereign Sword. Behind him stands the Human Sovereign Sword. If we go too far, once the Human Sovereign Sword takes action, I'm afraid we will be in a lot of trouble!"
At this moment, Que Lingzi, the leader of the Sword Maste, who was sitting in the upper seat, nodded and said, "You all have a point.
However, we do need to be cautious when it comes to dealing with Lin Xuan.
Although we are trying to suppress Lin Xuan and the Ultimate One Sect, we cannot go too far. It would be best if we do not have a head-on conflict with them.
The rise of the Ultimate One Sect has harmed the interests of many forces. Because of the lack of a leader, most of the forces do not have the courage to say anything and are simply observing in secret.
"In the Sword Tasting Ceremony on the ninth of next month, we only need to give some instructions, and a large number of forces will attack the Ultimate One Sect, making it difficult for them to move forward.
"If we promote the establishment of an alliance in the Martial Arts world and become the leader of the alliance, how much trouble can the Ultimate One Sect, which has been excluded by the alliance, cause by then?"
"You're absolutely right, leader! When the Sword Maste becomes the leader of the alliance, we will have a lot of allies. It will be a piece of cake for us to deal with the Ultimate One Sect! "
"Exactly. The Ultimate One Sect won't be able to be arrogant for much longer! They dared to kill the disciples that we sent to the Great Cause. They don't know what's good for them! Sooner or later, we will make them pay back a hundredfold! "
"…"
When the Ultimate One Sect was mentioned, the upper echelons of the Sword Maste could not help but gnash their teeth.
The Ultimate One Sect had tried to swallow the Great Cause Dynasty supported by the Sword Maste and had even killed four disciples of the Sword Maste. It was a slap to the Sword Maste's face. For the Sword Maste, it was an unprecedented humiliation.
However, considering the Human Path behind Lin Xuan, the Sword Maste weighed the pros and cons and did not dare to fight the Ultimate One Sect head-on in the end.
However, not fighting the Ultimate One Sect head-on did not mean that the Sword Maste would stop there.
For the Sword Maste, there were many ways to deal with the new force that was the Ultimate One Sect.
At this moment, an elder who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at the sky with unfocused eyes. He frowned slightly.
This elder's name was Qu Chongxiao. He cultivated the Huiling Sword Principle. When this Sword Principle was cultivated to a high level, not only could it kill people, but it could also strengthen one's wisdom and sense one's destiny.
Qu Chongxiao's attainments in the Huiling Sword Principle could be said to be the best in the Sword Maste. This had also established his respected status in the Sword Maste. Even the Sect Leader, Que Lingzi, respected him very much.
At this moment, Qu Chongxiao frowned and his expression changed. It immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
Elder Wang asked, "Brother Qu, do you have a different opinion?"
Qu Chongxiao shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I have a strong premonition that the Sword Maste may suffer a calamity in the near future."
"What! Elder Qu, are you kidding? "
"What calamity? Who in the Realm of True Force can threaten the Sword Maste? "
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this. They asked Qu Chongxiao one after another.
Qu Chongxiao closed his eyes and was silent for a while. After a while, he opened his eyes again and sighed. "I can't tell you what calamity it is. I only know that this calamity is probably related to the Dragons clan."
