Chapter 196 - A Sword to the Throat

The young man was extremely arrogant, not only wanting to steal items but also declaring that he would cripple Lin Xuan before feeding him to the wolves!

Which sect’s disciple was this, so ferocious?

Lin Xuan’s eyes slightly squinted as he looked towards the group of people opposite him.

There were about ten people, their cultivation all above the Spirit Sea Fourth Layer Heaven.

Among them, the grey-clothed elder had reached the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven, while the three people beside the young man were at the peak of Spirit Sea Fifth Layer Heaven.

Such a match-up, aside from old freaks of the Soul Merging Realm, would not intimidate anyone else.

Lin Xuan did not make a move, his figure shook, and he was about to leave.

“Want to leave?

It’s not going to be that easy!” The three martial artists close to Lin Xuan attacked simultaneously, and three surges of overwhelming power burst forth.

If it had been an ordinary Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven martial artist caught in this pincer attack, they would have perished already.

Lin Xuan executed the Wind Thunder Step, evading the three men’s attack.

“He can actually evade?” The three martial artists were somewhat surprised.

“Attack with all your might, this kid has a heavy treasure, his strength is definitely extraordinary,” said the grey-clothed elder, “Kill him directly, no need to hold back!”

The three Spirit Sea Fourth Level martial artists sneered menacingly as they surrounded Lin Xuan.

“Kid, in your next life, be sure to pick your enemies more carefully!”

“Daring to offend our young master, you’re truly seeking death!”

The three attacked together, and the terrifying fluctuations of their power were enough to injure a martial artist of the Spirit Sea Fifth Level.

Lin Xuan’s gaze sharpened; these people kept provoking him without taking him seriously.

He was not one to stir up trouble, but neither was he afraid of it, and now that someone wanted to kill him, he naturally would not show mercy.

“Lightning Storm!”

Within ten meters all around, sudden wind and thunder raged as if it were the end of the world.

Crackle and boom!

A loud noise resounded, and the three men, charred and blackened, fell to the ground.

“What?” Those on the opposite side were stunned, unable to believe it for a moment.

The grey-clothed elder’s face turned grim, his gaze constantly assessing Lin Xuan as if pondering something.

“Kid, you dare to kill my men, do you know who I am!” the young man bellowed, his eyes full of rage.

He came to Xia Country, not putting anyone in his eyes, but he did not expect to suffer a setback in the Snow Mountain.

“Get him, kill him!”

“Kid, surrender without a fight!” said the grey-clothed elder coldly, “Although you have extraordinary strength, you have no chance of winning against us!”

“Furthermore, our elder is currently a guest at the Wenxue Sect, do you think you have a chance to escape!”

Since the fight had begun, Lin Xuan had no intention of letting these people go.

His body became a beam of light, charging over swiftly.

With a flick of his finger, the Autumn Trace Sword appeared in his hand.

Ssht ssht!

Sword light flashed, and a martial artist fell to the ground with a thud.

“Everyone, back off!” the grey-clothed elder bellowed, recognizing that Lin Xuan was extraordinary, and ordinary Spirit Sea Fourth Layer Heaven martial artists were no match for him.

The group retreated, watching Lin Xuan cautiously.

“Elder Zhou, let us handle this.”

The three martial artists who had always protected the young master spoke up.

“Very well,” nodded the grey-clothed elder.

The three moved in a flash, forming a triangle to enclose Lin Xuan.

“Let’s see what sort of level Xia Country’s martial artists are at!” one of them sneered.

Lin Xuan was slightly astonished in his heart; it seemed these people were not from Xia Country.

Well, he had even fewer reservations then, for if he let these people go, he would undoubtedly face endless pursuit.

Moreover, the opponents still had an elder in the Wenxue Sect.

Someone addressed as an elder must be a freak of the Soul Merging Realm.

For the sake of his own life, Lin Xuan could only strike with all his might.

The Autumn Trace Sword swept out, and a fierce sword light flew forth.

“Shadow Transformation Sword Formation!”

The trio worked together, casting an array that trapped Lin Xuan.

A figure flew out, wielding a sword, stabbing at Lin Xuan.

“Split Wind Style!”

With one thrust of his sword, the figure was mercilessly torn apart, turning back into energy that merged into the sword formation.

“Melt Wind Style!”

A silent sword energy struck one of the martial artists.

The air was torn apart, and dazzling sword light slashed at the waist of the man.

“Useless!”

The trio worked together, their sword formation emitting light, dissolving Lin Xuan’s attack.

“We have trapped martial artists of the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven before, let alone a little kid of the Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven like you!”

“Hand over the items, and I’ll leave you a whole corpse!”

“Otherwise…

hmph!”

The three’s voices were cold, their attacks suddenly turned fierce.

Dozens of sword shadows flew toward him from various angles, enveloping his whole body.

Sword Qi clashed, as if they were real blades, their power comparable to a strike from a Sixth Layer Heaven Martial Artist of the Spirit Sea.

Lin Xuan’s body also transformed into countless illusions, flying in all directions.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

Almost ninety percent of the illusions were pierced by the Sword Qi, and Lin Xuan’s true body was also reached by the attack.

Clang!

He raised his sword to block, his arm numbed from the vibration.

“What terrifying force!” Lin Xuan thought with a slight shock.

This Sword Formation could combine the power of all three, unleashing the strength of a Sixth Layer Heaven Martial Artist of the Spirit Sea.

And when under attack, it could divide the attack into three, bearing it together.

Lin Xuan’s Purple Spirit Eyes flickered, understanding in a flash.

“I have to break their Sword Formation!”

His eyes twinkled with Purple Light; his invisible Soul Power stabbed at one of the Martial Artists.

“Ah—”

That Martial Artist screamed miserably, his aura suddenly concentrated.

“Wind Emperor’s Sword!”

Lin Xuan channeled his Sword Intent, unleashing the Wind Emperor’s Sword, stabbing toward that Martial Artist.

Blood splattered, a sword sealed the throat!

The Sword Formation broke without a fight, and the remaining two Martial Artists were greatly shocked.

Their Sword Formation had never failed before, but today it was broken, and one of them was even killed!

“You, courting death!”

The two furiously launched their attacks.

Sword Intent surged, and Lin Xuan’s aura climbed to its peak.

“Sword Intent, it’s actually Sword Intent!”

The two Martial Artists turned pale, their own auras suppressed.

Those in the distance arrived with shock on their faces, seemingly unable to believe that they could see a Martial Artist who comprehended Sword Intent here.

“Your Sword Intent may be strong, but your cultivation is stagnant, die!” The two resisted the pressure and attacked, their longswords viciously thrusting toward Lin Xuan.

“Soul Stab!”

Lin Xuan used the attack method of Purple Spirit Eyes; his robust Soul Power transformed into a pointed spike, stabbing at one of them.

“Mad Lion Roar!”

Lin Xuan continued his offensive, unleashing another sonic attack.

Both were impacted in spirit, especially the one who suffered from the Soul Stab, displayed a moment of daze.

In a battle between experts, the fight is for the initiative.

The Autumn Trace Sword was cold as water; a flash of Floating Light, and a head flew off.

“Ah—”

The last Martial Artist’s face was filled with terror, he retreated frantically.

“A demon, he is a demon!”

Too terrifying, two Fifth Layer Heaven Martial Artists of the Spirit Sea had been easily killed.

And their opponent was actually a Third Layer Martial Artist of the Spirit Sea.

“Is this still a human?

Are the Martial Artists from Xia Country all this formidable?”

For a moment, a group of people in the distance went pale, terribly silent.

Lin Xuan swung his sword, unleashing a two-meter-long Half Moon-shaped Sword Energy, like a moonlight beam.

Pfft!

The fleeing big man was cleaved in two, falling to the ground.

Gurgle!

The group of people uneasily took two steps back, even the arrogant young master’s face turned slightly pale.

“Zhou, Elder Zhou.” He called out nervously.

“Don’t worry, young master, he’s not my match!”

The grey-clothed Elder’s aura erupted completely, like Furious Sea Waves, making his heart tremble.

Lin Xuan’s aura condensed, he felt a pressure, slowing his movements.

“As expected of a Sixth Layer Heaven Martial Artist!”

“You little devil, die!”

The grey-clothed elder took a step, his five fingers transformed into claws, reaching forward to grab.
