Chapter 221 - Underground World

After entering the underground passage, Lin Xuan immediately felt a wave of intense heat surge towards him, the temperature reaching over a thousand degrees.

The Thunder Patterns on his body shimmered, forming a barrier of thunder and lightning that enveloped him.

He plummeted downward like a shooting star.

Outside, a group of Martial Artists looked around uncertainly.

“We can’t let that kid get all the benefits, let’s hurry inside!”

Factions like the Earth Fire Sect and Lie Family quickly jumped in.

On the side of the Engraving Alliance, Deacon Wang and Deacon Meng exchanged glances before making a decision.

“The dangers underground are unpredictable, disciples below the Fifth Level of Spirit Sea should not go.”

A few disciples stepped forward, moving to the side.

Although they were reluctant, they knew it was for their best.

Because they simply couldn’t withstand that wave of intense heat.

The others followed the two deacons and jumped down.

Boom!

Lin Xuan landed on a layer of rock, sending numerous cracks throughout it.

He deployed his Purple Spirit Eyes, observing his surroundings.

Chirp chirp!

The Snow White Monkey jumped onto his shoulder, pointing forward and chirping incessantly.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Lin Xuan smiled and rushed forward quickly.

The ground was covered in fiery red magma, sizzling as he stepped on it, Lin Xuan accelerated to maximum speed, swiftly passing through the scorching zone.

Gradually, some red plants appeared on either side, bearing agate-like fruits.

“Ah, it’s Fire Bodhi!” Lord of Wine exclaimed.

“Little Xuanzi, pick more, I want to brew some wine!”

Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks and quickly began picking.

These fruits were extremely hot; it would have been difficult to pick them without his Copper Thunder Pattern.

Meanwhile, the Snow White Monkey was also busy.

In a flash of white light, a red fruit disappeared from a vine.

Moments later, over twenty Fire Bodhi were picked clean, and Lin Xuan set off again.

Not long after he left, a large group of people arrived.

“There are plants!” exclaimed a Martial Artist from the Lie Family.

“These are clearly marks of picking; did that kid take them?”

The Martial Artists’ faces turned grim, especially those from the Earth Fire Sect.

They were Fire Element Martial Artists, and these fruits were like Holy Fruit to them!

But now, all they could do was watch helplessly.

“Speed up!” Meng Yan said gravely.

He led the Earth Fire Sect’s group, turning into a beam of light and swiftly leaving.

“We must also hurry, we can’t let Lin Xuan get hurt!” the people from the Engraving Alliance also hastened towards the front.

From the Lie Family’s side, Ru Xi left the group, turning into a cloud of Blood Mist and disappeared quickly.

The last to arrive were Jiang Ruyue and a short old man.

“It’s Fire Bodhi!” the old man exclaimed.

After that, he transplanted a few Fire Vines and stored them in his Storage Ring.

Jiang Ruyue stood by, blinking her big eyes, quietly waiting for the old man.

Moments later, the two set off again.

Ahead, three paths appeared.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered, using his Soul Power to probe ahead.

But, within a hundred meters, the three paths were identical.

Chirp chirip!

The Snow White Monkey pointed at the path straight ahead, looking confident.

Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate, his body flickered, disappearing into the passage.

It didn’t take long for the people behind to also reach the junction.

“Damn it, there are three paths!” a person from the Lie Family cursed under his breath.

“Let’s split up!”

They divided into three groups, each entering a different passage.

The disciples from the Earth Fire Sect all looked at Meng Yan, waiting for his decision.

“I’ll take one route with Zhu Hao, the rest of you stick together and take another.”

After speaking, he, along with Zhu Hao, entered the passage on the right.

“We’ll take the left side,” said the remaining disciples from the Earth Fire Sect.

The group also quickly disappeared.

Whoosh!

A mass of red Blood Mist suddenly appeared and transformed into a human figure.

Ruyue licked his red lips, sensed the residual aura in the air, then sneered as he darted into the central passage.

The members of the Engraving Alliance also split into two groups, heading toward both the left and right passages.

At last, the short old man and Jiang Ruyue entered the central passage.

Lin Xuan encountered no obstacles and moved swiftly forward.

On the ground, he spotted numerous red crystals, each containing a burst of energy.

“This is a Fire Crystal Stone, and this one is even more precious than a Mid Grade Spirit Stone,” Lord of Wine said.

Since it was a valuable item, Lin Xuan, naturally, did not hesitate and, with a wave of his sleeve, he collected all the Fire Crystal Stones from the ground.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and sensed a faint aura rapidly approaching from behind.

“Purple Extreme Demon Palace!” Lin Xuan sensed the sinister aura from within and sneered smugly.

Sss!

Countless red threads shot out swiftly like numerous fine sword marks, aiming at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan turned around and threw a punch.

Thunder Roar!

Fierce power of thunder and lightning formed into a Thunder Dragon rampaging in all directions.

The dark red lines were all shattered and then submerged by the Thunder Sea.

Whoosh!

The moment Lin Xuan’s punch was thrown, a ball of red mist appeared behind him, and a pale hand wielding a bizarre dagger stabbed towards his heart.

Ting!

The Copper Thunder Pattern on Lin Xuan’s body intensified, and dense thunder patterns covered him.

At the same time, he twisted his body, and his right leg swept backward like a Heavenly Blade slicing through the air.

The dagger was blocked by the Copper Thunder Pattern, and Ruyue again transformed into a mist of blood.

Lin Xuan’s right leg passed through the Blood Mist unharmed.

Whoosh!

The Blood Mist tumbled, and Ruyue’s figure reappeared, his red lips looking as if they could drip blood, unnaturally seductive.

“Fire!”

It was the first time he had opened his lips, seemingly possessing an invisible Magic Power, as flames suddenly surged from both sides of the corridor.

In an instant, the place turned into a sea of fire.

“Illusion Technique!”

Lin Xuan was alert.

He had only seen Pupil Skill before; he didn’t expect to experience another Soul Technique this time.

The sea of fire surged as if about to devour Lin Xuan.

Swoosh!

A beam of Sword Light surged up, splitting the vast sea of fire in two.

“Soul Sword!” For the first time, Ruyue showed a look of shock.

“Fire Beast Blood Devouring!”

From his lips seemed to float a drop of blood that fell into the middle of the sea of fire.

Roar!

A deep roar sounded immediately.

Around them, dozens of fierce and terrifying Demon Beasts appeared, their bodies ablaze with flames, hurling their colossal claws towards Lin Xuan.

The Soul Sword swung again, slaying all the Demon Beasts that came close to him.

But more and more Flame Demon Beasts kept approaching.

“Sword Soul Space!”

Lin Xuan’s right eye emitted a brilliant light, creating an independent spiritual world that captured all the Demon Beasts within the Sea of Flames.

The Soul Sword stabbed out again, swiftly slashing at Ruyue.

Puh!

Ruyue clearly did not anticipate Lin Xuan’s Soul Attack to be so exquisite, capable of instantly dismantling his Flame Demon Beasts.

Caught off-guard, he sustained an injury.

Staggering, the Flame World receded, and Ruyue stood opposite, his face deathly pale.

“Let me show you my Blood Demon Great Method!”

Ruyue stretched out his thumb, vigorously wiping his alluring red lips.
