Chapter 136 - Ownership of the Treasure

Just when everyone thought Lin Xuan was doomed, a sudden change occurred.

Blue light, like the light of the moon, enveloped everything, and a terrifying energy that made everyone’s hearts tremble surged forth.

Boom—

It was as if the world itself was ending, space shattered, and the entire hall shook incessantly.

One seal after another lit up, forming a defensive cover that kept the hall intact.

Countless figures were thrown into the air by the strong winds, scattering in all directions.

After a long time, calm finally returned to the hall.

Aside from the three treasures in the sky, which remained unaffected, everyone else was impacted.

Many martial artists were injured, but even more profound was the tremor in their hearts.

This technique was too terrifying, a single strike could annihilate a group of Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists!

People looked towards the center of the arena and then stood still like statues.

There in the center, Lin Xuan stood with his hair fluttering, donning ancient armor that shone brightly, enveloping his body.

On his left hand was a bronze glove, from which the terrifying residual energy emanated, each strand sending shivers down one’s spine.

A giant hole several zhang wide appeared on the black mountain, having been pierced through.

Eventually, the black mountain gradually vanished, and on the octagonal stone of Lingfeng, a conspicuous crack appeared.

“Impossible, this can’t be possible!” Lingfeng shouted like a mad dog.

Lin Xuan had been suppressed, so why was he still able to resist!

And he even damaged his talisman treasure.

The other three Ling Family Disciples were even more terrified, trembling uncontrollably, not daring to look at Lin Xuan.

The surrounding crowd wore strange expressions, some looking at the young man in the center with a touch of horror.

“I didn’t expect him to also have a talisman treasure…” some martial artists thought hotly, eyeing Lin Xuan’s left hand.

But no one dared to act rashly; nobody wanted to provoke Lin Xuan at this time.

Lin Xuan’s face was somewhat pale, as he too had not had an easy time with that last strike, and even now his left hand was still numb.

However, he showed no sign of anything amiss.

Looking up at the knife-shaped treasure in the sky, Lin Xuan slowly walked over.

Raising his hand, he sent out sword light, and he began to suppress the treasure with his Sword Intent.

Seeing Lin Xuan boldly attempting to subdue the treasure, the people around tensed up and subconsciously ran forward.

Lin Xuan looked back indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

It was like a sharp sword light passing by, sending a chill down everyone’s back, and they all halted in their steps.

Just one look was enough to stop everyone in their tracks, a feat so terrifying that no one else could accomplish it.

Lingfeng stood aside, still caught in a great shock, until Lin Xuan subdued the knife-shaped treasure.

Only then did he come to his senses.

But it was all too late.

Lin Xuan, who now possessed a treasure, was even more formidable.

There was likely no one who could be his match.

“Brother Lin, you’re alright, that’s great!” Murong Qianling approached with a radiant expression.

Lin Xuan’s expression softened, and he nodded with a smile before inquiring about her situation.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Several more figures rushed over at a speed that was startling.

In the blink of an eye, two figures had already stopped in front of everyone.

“Brother Zheng, Brother Xie!” many called out.

The newcomers were Zheng Jun and Xie Changfeng.

Seeing the signs of battle nearby and the residual energy in the air, their expressions changed slightly.

They quickly learned what had happened and looked at Lin Xuan with some surprise.

Among them, Xie Changfeng was merely curious, while a glint of cold light flashed in Zheng Jun’s eyes.

“Brother Lin, you are a Sword Cultivator; a knife is of no use to you.

Why not give it to Lingfeng, how about that?” Zheng Jun said flatly.

“What?” Everyone was stunned, as if they couldn’t believe their ears, even Ling Feng had a look of shock on his face.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he glared at Zheng Jun, and a chill began to grow in his heart.

The other party already knew that he possessed a talisman treasure, and yet dared to act like this, they must have something to rely on.

Lin Xuan speculated that perhaps Zheng Jun had a similar weapon.

“Little Xuanzi, the youngster opposite has reached the Spirit Sea Third Level, you need to be careful,” Lord of Wine warned.

“Also, there’s a sword-shaped treasure in his storage ring.”

“Huh?” Lin Xuan was slightly stunned—it seemed that the other’s fortune was not small either, advancing not only in cultivation but also obtaining quite a few treasures.

Everyone was looking at Lin Xuan, waiting for his response, and Ling Feng was filled with a sliver of hope.

Lin Xuan slowly said, “I heard Brother Zheng is not a Sword Cultivator either, so why not give away the sword-shaped treasure from your storage ring, or is it too precious to part with?”

To the others, these words seemed insignificant, with most assuming he was just talking nonsense in retaliation.

However, Zheng Jun’s heart shuddered, and his pupils contracted sharply.

“How does he know about my business?” Zheng Jun couldn’t figure it out.

“Did he see it?”

The more he thought, the less he understood.

He could only snort coldly, “What a joke, why would I have a sword-shaped treasure!”

Zheng Jun’s expression turned slightly cold, and his aura spilled out.

An extremely oppressive aura emerged, causing the bodies of the surrounding martial artists to tremble.

“Spirit Sea Third Level!”

All the martial artists were shocked.

They swallowed hard, then looked at Zheng Jun with faces filled with fear.

Between each level of the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven, the gap is vast, and aside from geniuses like Lin Xuan who had comprehended Sword Intent, few could fight across levels.

“Congratulations to Brother Zheng Jun on your breakthrough!” Many people congratulated him.

“Brother Zheng, congratulations!” Ling Feng felt bitterness in his heart; not only had he lost to Lin Xuan, but he also damaged his talisman treasure, making him utterly unlucky.

While others were making continuous progress, leaving him far behind.

“It seems Brother Zheng’s ranking on the Hidden Dragon List will rise quite a bit.”

Zheng Jun’s previous ranking was ninety-seventh on the Hidden Dragon List.

With his cultivation greatly increased, he would surely advance many positions.

When the congratulations stopped, Murong Qianling finally said solemnly, “Brother Zheng, the treasure belongs to Lin Xuan by right, and it should return to him.

I hope Brother will not interfere!”

Murong Qianling also knew about the conflict between Lin Xuan and the elder of Xuan.

However, Zheng Jun putting Lin Xuan on the spot so publicly was not something she had anticipated.

Regardless, Lin Xuan was a disciple of Xuantian Sect and a genius who had comprehended Sword Intent; she would not let Lin Xuan be threatened!

“Since Junior Sister Murong has spoken, then let’s drop this matter!” Zheng Jun said magnanimously.

Lin Xuan felt nauseated.

He really wanted to kick Zheng Jun to death.

Damn it, just because one’s cultivation is high, they can bully people at will?

“Hmph!” Lin Xuan snorted coldly, putting away the treasure.

Meanwhile, the fights over the other two treasures had also ended.

But the outcomes were unexpected.

The long spear was surprisingly obtained by Shangguan Liuyun, standing tall and proud with the spear in hand, like a mountain.

And the other piece of armor was in the hands of a mysterious woman.

This woman, dressed in white, surpassed the snow in purity; her face was veiled, enveloping her in mystery.

Her slender jade hand grabbed the purple armor, and Spiritual Power surged, allowing her to put it on directly.

The purple armor trembled slightly and disappeared from sight.

Many had strange expressions; the winners of the three treasures were all unexpected.

Lin Xuan and Shangguan Liuyun were both rising stars, while the white-clothed woman was unknown to everyone.

On the other hand, high-level fighters like Ling Feng, Wan Jianxing, Yuan Fei, and others that people were anticipating did not obtain a single treasure.

Lin Xuan gave Shangguan Liuyun a slight nod, acknowledging him with a greeting.

Shangguan Liuyun put away his long spear and came over like a streak of light.

Swoosh!

He stopped beside Lin Xuan.

The crowd glanced over subtly, but even more eyes were focused on the mysterious white-clothed woman.
