The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the martial artists nearby. Many of them stopped and looked over, pointing at the grove in bewilderment.
Lin Xuan knew that the true masters of the Sword Maste would soon arrive, so he retreated into the crowd and watched from afar.
As expected, three Transcendent realm sword masters descended upon the grove in a short span of three breaths, releasing an aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
"Who are you, thief? How dare you cause trouble here! Get the hell out here! "
One of the Sword Maste masters flipped his palm and covered the grove.
Chi! Chi!
Boundless Sword Qi shot out from this person's palm, condensing into a storm that extended for hundreds of meters, wreaking havoc in the small forest.
Chi! Chi!
In a few breaths, the entire grove was completely destroyed, causing cries of alarm to ring out from the crowd.
The trees were gone, and on the flat ground was a translucent dome of light that looked like an inverted bowl. It was about a dozen meters in size.
Within the light barrier, a dark green jade platform was quietly suspended three feet above the ground.
On the jade platform, a devilishly charming young man in white clothes was sitting cross-legged on it.
The young man looked young, but his cultivation was unfathomable. His eyes were dark red and filled with endless coldness, as if they were not human.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the three Sword Maste masters in the sky. The corners of his mouth curled into a strange arc, but his smile seemed a little stiff.
"Who are you? Tell us your name! "
One of the Sword Maste masters saw that he did not know the strength of this person, so he did not act rashly. Instead, he asked loudly.
"A bunch of ants. You don't deserve to know my name!" The young man said coldly.
At this moment, Lin Xuan instantly recognized that it was the voice of Young Master Hongchen that he had heard earlier.
He carefully observed him and found that this Young Master Hongchen's aura was very strange. He wasn't human, demon, or devil. Moreover, this person's eyes, expression, and body gave off a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right. It was very strange.
"Hmph! Shameless boasting! You dared to cause trouble in our Sword Maste's Sword Evaluation Assembly and even killed our Sword Maste's disciples. This seat will take your dog life right now to appease the souls of those disciples in heaven! Die! "
A Sword Maste roared and immediately unsheathed his sword. With a swoosh, a hundred-meter-long sword light pierced through the sky and pierced towards Young Master Hongchen.
Boom!
The terrifying sword Qi slashed at the light barrier around Young Master Hongchen, producing a loud boom.
However, that light barrier was exceptionally tough. It actually managed to block that streak of sword radiance. Only, it became a bit thinner, swaying continuously.
Seeing this, Young Master Hongchen couldn't help but feel enraged. He blinked slightly, and in an instant, three rays of dim light shot out and locked onto the three Sword Maste experts in the sky.
The three of them didn't dare to be careless. Some of them quickly moved around to dodge the dim light, while others hurriedly swung their swords in an attempt to destroy the dim light.
However, in the next moment, something that shocked everyone happened.
The three of them couldn't dodge the dim light, nor could they destroy it. The three rays of dim light entered their glabella at the same time.
Following that, the three of them suddenly froze and fell from the sky, landing on the ground with a thump and no longer moving.
Such a strange scene immediately stunned everyone who was watching the show from afar.
"Hiss — what's going on?"
"How is this possible? Those three were all Divine Tier experts of the Sword Maste. They were all experts who had been famous for hundreds of years. How could they all die from a single glance from this person? "
"Dead! All of them are dead! Heavens! Is he a human or a demon? "
A commotion broke out on the road nearby. Many people felt fear in their hearts and hurriedly retreated, as if the young man sitting on the black jade platform was a man-eating demon.
At this moment, even Lin Xuan was secretly shocked.
The three Sword Maste experts were all beginner Divine Tier experts. Lin Xuan was confident that he could kill all three of them.
However, he couldn't have done it so easily.
"Killing with a single glance without any attribute. How strong is his Mentality? This person … No, he's not human. Could he be the legendary Nether Clan that has been extinct for ten thousand years? "
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and quickly thought of something.
The Nether Clan was an ancient race. They were shapeless and formless, similar to the human race's Yin Soul state, but not the same. They were an extremely terrifying and intelligent race.
They didn't need to rely on a physical body to exist, nor were they shackled by a physical body. However, they could rely on their powerful Mentality to easily take over the bodies of all living things in the world. From there, they could devour souls and absorb nutrients to strengthen themselves.
"I know him! He's Liao Hongchen from the Liao Clan of the Eastern Wilderness, the number one expert of the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness. He's respectfully called Young Master Hongchen by the Eastern Wilderness' martial arts community! "
Among the crowd, a manager of a trading company recognized Young Master Hongchen and exposed his identity in front of everyone.
However, he quickly denied himself, "No, he's not Young Master Hongchen. Young Master Hongchen cultivates the Fire Dao Cultivation Method. His Fire Dao Cultivation Method is unparalleled in the Eastern Barren Territory. Although this person is Young Master Hongchen's body, his aura is obviously different!"
The surrounding people were shocked and doubtful.
However, Lin Xuan was even more certain of his guess. This Young Master Hongchen was most likely taken over by the Nether Clan.
"What an eventful time! I didn't expect the Nether Clan to appear. It seems that the True Martial Domain is going to be in turmoil again! "
"According to ancient records, the Nether Clan doesn't have a physical body. Their souls are incomparably powerful and extremely difficult to deal with. Now that the Nether Clan is colluding with Di Ying, Yu Tianxing, and the others to destroy this space and kill millions of martial artists, they must be up to something big. Since I've encountered them, as the Sword Master of the Human Sovereign, how can I just sit back and do nothing? "
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as he gradually came up with a plan in his mind.
Although he didn't want to see the Sword Maste, Dark Hall, and other forces form the True Martial Alliance, he was happy to see Di Ying, Yu Tianxing, and the others take action.
However, if the Nether Clan were to participate, the nature of the situation would be different. According to ancient records, every time the Nether Clan appeared, they would bring a great catastrophe to the world. They were even more terrifying than the Ban Clan.
At this moment, Young Master Hongchen moved again.
He formed hand seals and muttered incantations at the same time. The protective light shield around his body dissipated, and the ink-colored jade platform he sat on gradually emitted gray halos that spread in all directions.
At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a sense of danger. A sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
"Hmm? That Dark Weapon is moving! "
Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched as he hurriedly took out the Dark Weapon he had bought not long ago. As soon as he took it out, a fine silver light emerged from the Dark Weapon and shot towards Lin Xuan's forehead. It was as fast as lightning, and Lin Xuan couldn't dodge in time.
In the next moment, the silver light in Lin Xuan's Knowledge Sea turned into a giant that was thousands of feet tall.
It was only a strand of Divine Will, but it was incredibly powerful. It was more than a hundred times stronger than the soul of a Transcendent realm elite like Lin Xuan.
After the Divine Will Giant entered, it immediately pounced on Lin Xuan's soul. It let out a deafening roar, waved its giant claws, and bared its fangs. The powerful mental pressure caused Lin Xuan to be greatly alarmed. He almost couldn't think of resisting.
Fortunately, his will was firm, and he didn't panic in the face of danger. The moment the Divine Will Giant pounced on him, he immediately channeled the Power of Creation into his Knowledge Sea, turning it into a Baleful Soul Storm that firmly protected his soul.
Roar!
The Divine Will Giant let out a strange roar and instantly pounced into the Baleful Soul Storm.
Then, there was a sizzling sound. The moment the Divine Will Giant pounced into the Baleful Soul Storm, it began to rapidly disintegrate.
The Divine Will Giant struggled in pain and roared in anger, trying to escape the storm and escape from Lin Xuan's Knowledge Sea.
But Lin Xuan refused to let go. He controlled the Baleful Soul Storm and trapped the Divine Will Giant, causing its body to rapidly shrink and gradually weaken until it completely disappeared.
The Divine Will Giant was finished.
Lin Xuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation just now was indeed very dangerous. If he didn't have the Power of Creation, his soul would have been swallowed by that Divine Sense, and his body would have become a puppet of the Netherworld Clan. Thinking about it now, he still had a lingering fear.
He opened his eyes and quietly wiped away the cold sweat. However, his movements suddenly stopped, and he looked around solemnly.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd had already fallen into great chaos. Countless martial artists had bloodshot eyes and held sharp divine weapons in their hands as they crazily slashed at the people around them. Screams, cries of agony, and the roars of battle connected together and resounded through the sky.
The Sword Trial Gathering, which had been lively and orderly, had now become a huge battlefield, a bloody hell.
For a moment, the entire space was filled with saber Qi, sword light flashing, broken limbs flying, and blood flowing like a river.
Every minute, every second, there were countless people dying. It was extremely tragic.
"Roar!"
"Wang Dakui! I'm your good brother! You don't recognize me, no — ah! "
"Bastard! I'll kill you! Kill — "
"What's going on? Why does Master want to kill us? Has Master been bewitched — "
Boom boom boom —
…
At this moment, those martial artists with red eyes were clearly under the control of the Netherworld Tribe.
These people had originally bought things from the stalls of Di Ying's subordinates.
The treasures, pills, materials, cultivation methods, and so on that they'd bought from Di Ying's subordinates all contained a strand of the Netherworld Tribe's consciousness.
Just now, Young Master Hongchen had spread his power through the formation to awaken these strands of consciousness, causing them to possess human martial artists and start a massacre.
The Netherworld Tribe's consciousness was extremely powerful. Even if the treasures they'd bought were stored in spatial rings, they couldn't shackle it. Only spatial artifacts could truly isolate it.
However, those who owned spatial artifacts were rare. Therefore, ninety-nine percent of the people here had fallen into the Netherworld Tribe's consciousness and been turned into slaughter puppets.
What was even more frightening was that these slaughtering puppets controlled by the Netherworld Clan all had a powerful mental deterrence, which greatly increased their fighting power. Their destructive power was astonishing.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb at the sight.
Roar —
An angry roar came from above, followed by an invincible saber Qi.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He flipped his hand and slapped the air above him. A powerful force exploded, dispelling the Blade Qi above him and turning the puppet into minced meat.
