Chapter 226 - Flame Spirit Armor

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The surrounding rocks crumbled, and two forces transformed into wind blades, destroying everything within a fifty-meter radius.

Zhao Xue’s body floated like duckweed, drifting into the distance.

“Flame Fire Kill!”

Han Zhen stirred his long spear, and a dark red flame appeared above the fiery red spearhead.

Although the flame was small, the energy it contained was astonishing.

As soon as it appeared, the entire void trembled incessantly.

Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted.

As an Engraver, his Soul Power was extraordinary, and he could naturally sense the terror of that flame even more.

Break!

The long spear surged, forming a terrifying flame attack.

Executing Wind Thunder Step, Lin Xuan vanished from his original spot, choosing not to take the hit head-on.

It wasn’t that he was scared, but sometimes retreating is to launch a better offense.

The sword light swept past, as if the sound of a dragon roar echoed, and the sharp sword tip pierced through the dark red flame, sparking astonishing sparks.

“Wind Emperor’s Sword!”

With one thrust of his sword, Lin Xuan’s swordsmanship underwent a drastic change, becoming elusive.

Like an antelope hanging its horns, or a falling star, this sword fully merged with the wind, losing all traces.

“What?”

Han Zhen’s complexion drastically changed.

Apart from clashing with Meng Yan, for the first time, he felt danger among his peers.

He simply couldn’t see Lin Xuan’s sword, let alone block it.

“This guy, he’s not old, but his swordsmanship is incredibly clever!” Han Zhen’s expression darkened, and he withdrew his long spear, dancing it at his side, forming a defensive posture of wind and fire.

Whoosh!

A faint disturbance occurred in the air, and a dazzling Sword Qi shot out, aiming straight for Han Zhen’s vital points.

This sword light directly bypassed his defense, and it was about to cut into his body.

“How is that possible!”

Han Zhen changed color again, not believing that Lin Xuan could penetrate his defense.

But, the fact was right before his eyes.

“Flame Spirit Armor!”

Han Zhen shouted lowly, his body glowing bright red, as if flames were flying out.

On the surface of his body, a Spirit Armor as red as fire rapidly formed, making him look like a Fire God.

Clang!

The Autumn Trace Sword struck the Flame Armor, emitting a metallic roar.

The Great Dragon Sword Intent was exceptionally sharp, the Qiushui-like Sword Light reflected on Han Zhen’s face, causing his body to tremble.

The Flame Armor glowed, but a fine crack was still cut open.

For Lin Xuan, this was already enough.

Great Dragon Sword Intent surged, quickly infiltrating the armor, and that fierce aura began to constantly damage the Flame Spirit Armor.

“Get lost!”

Han Zhen trembled inwardly, his Spiritual Power surged, forming a binding force, as he attempted to trap Lin Xuan’s Longsword.

At the same time, he swung his fist fiercely.

His fist, large as a sandbag, shone with a magma-like color, resembling glowing hot iron, carrying terrifying high temperatures.

This punch, thrown from below, rocketed towards Lin Xuan’s head.

If it landed, it would be fatal.

However, Lin Xuan evidently wouldn’t just sit and wait for death.

As Han Zhen made his move, so had Lin Xuan.

On his arm, the Copper Thunder Pattern emerged, with wild Power of thunder and lightning pulsing, like Nine Heavens Thunder, thunderously exploding.

The thunder and lightning struck the fiery fist, emitting a sound like a torrential flood.

Far away, Zhao Xue frowned tightly and retreated once again.

Moments later, where she first stood, the ground burst open, leaving a charred black scar.

After the roaring noise, Han Zhen’s Qi-Blood churned, and the intense pain turned his face pale.

His arm became numb, having lost all feeling.

“Impossible, you’re a Sword Cultivator, how can your body be so strong!” Han Zhen screamed.

He really was baffled; in his understanding, Sword Cultivators had formidable attack power, far surpassing their peers.

But accordingly, their own defensive systems were quite weak, and many Swordsmen wore high-grade armor to compensate for this shortcoming.

Han Zhen knew this, so he didn’t aim at Lin Xuan’s heart or other vital areas.

But Lin Xuan just clashed with him in physical strength and even far exceeded him!

Striking successfully, Lin Xuan’s longsword pierced in once more.

The Great Dragon Sword Intent attacked again, and behind Lin Xuan, it was as if a dragon’s head had materialized.

Pfft!

The Flame Spirit Armor was sliced open, leaving a sword hole the size of a thumb, and a stream of fresh blood spurted out.

Swoosh!

Han Zhen, enduring the pain in his body, quickly retreated backward.

He didn’t dare to engage Lin Xuan at close range now, only able to avoid him from afar.

“You dare to injure me, I’ll fight you!”

Han Zhen’s eyes blazed with fury; he had never suffered such a wound, even when clashing with Meng Yan.

The spiritual power inside his body circulated wildly, his body emitting a three-zhang-long glow of flames.

“Hmph!” Lin Xuan let out a cold snort.

Boom!

Pfft!

A low roar came from inside Han Zhen’s body, like frying beans.

Immediately after, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as paper, fine beads of sweat instantly covering his entire body.

“You, you…”

Han Zhen half-knelt on the ground, continuously gasping for air.

Just now, the residual golden arcs inside his body had exploded, causing him internal injuries; his spiritual power was extremely chaotic, and he couldn’t even exert half of his strength.

“You are strong, but next time it won’t be so easy!” Han Zhen swallowed a few life-saving Elixir Pills and said viciously.

“You think I’ll let you go?” Lin Xuan laughed mockingly.

This guy had tried to kill him and still dared to talk tough after losing.

“You, you dare to kill me?

I am the Earth Fire Sect’s Core Disciple!” Han Zhen screamed.

He never thought someone would dare touch a member of the Earth Fire Sect.

“Hmph, I won’t kill you, but I will teach you a lesson!” Lin Xuan said coldly, “This place isn’t a free martial arts gym, and I’m certainly not your sparring partner!”

“You have a choice, leave the Storage Ring, or one of your hands!”

Feeling Lin Xuan’s icy gaze, Han Zhen truly became frightened; he had no doubt Lin Xuan would dare to kill him.

However, the thought of handing over his Storage Ring was something he truly begrudged.

Inside it was his entire fortune!

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

Lin Xuan counted down solemnly, the longsword in his hand slowly lifting.

“The Storage Ring!” Han Zhen shrieked.

He took off the dark red ring, threw it to the ground, and then quickly ran away.

Absorbing the Storage Ring into his hand, Lin Xuan probed with his Soul Power, and a trace of delight immediately appeared on his face.

Truly worthy of a Three-star Sect, the wealth was substantial.

Inside were nearly one million low-grade spiritual stones, several Xuan-grade top-level martial arts, and one Lower Grade Spirit martial art.

Among them, there were three human-level top-grade treasures and one Xuan-grade lower-grade treasure.

These almost matched Lin Xuan’s entire wealth before he entered the Underground World!

“I really hope more people like this come along,” Lin Xuan said indifferently.

Zhao Xue walked over and helplessly rolled her eyes at him.

“For you!” Lin Xuan tossed a short sword to Zhao Xue.

“A Xuan-grade lower-grade treasure!” Zhao Xue exclaimed in surprise, her face full of amazement.

“Finder’s keepers,” Lin Xuan shrugged.

He was now very wealthy and didn’t care about a Xuan-grade lower-grade treasure.

The one-foot-long short sword, entirely dark red, shimmered with a ghostly light under the moonlight, like the eyes of something bloodthirsty.

“Thank you!” Zhao Xue suddenly moved closer and kissed Lin Xuan on the face.
