Chapter 262 - Escape and Counterkill!

The shadow was none other than Lin Xuan, who had escaped to this place with the help of the Lord of Wine.

Puh!

As soon as he landed, Lin Xuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Previously, dozens of people had struck at him at once, among them were several Half-step Soul Fusion Warriors.

It was already a miracle that he was alive!

“First, regain my strength,” Lin Xuan said without hesitation as he found a safe place, took out the Ice Platform, and a drop of Earth Spirit Liquid.

As the drop entered his mouth, Lin Xuan circulated the Longevity Technique, beginning to heal his body.

A drop of Earth Spirit Liquid, containing terrifying Life Essence, quickly integrated into Lin Xuan’s body under the influence of his mystical skill.

Radiant light spilled in all directions, an immense energy wrapped around his figure, churning continuously.

Half a day later, the wounds on his body had vanished.

And the drop of Earth Spirit Liquid had only been half-consumed.

Lin Xuan did not open his eyes, but continued to rotate the Longevity Technique.

He sought to break through to the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven in one stroke!

Spiritual Power surged, Lin Xuan constantly changed seals, and a burgeoning energy continued to brew.

A day later, a roaring sound came from within his body, like the roaring of ocean waves, and a tremendously strong aura pervaded the air.

“Spirit Sea Seventh Layer!” Lin Xuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.

“Lin Feng, Meng Yan!

And Purple Extreme Demon Palace, Star Peak Pavilion!

Everyone who laid their hands on me, I will cut you down one by one!”

Calming his emotions, Lin Xuan took out the Treasure Box.

Feeling the terrifying aura on it, Lin Xuan gently rubbed it.

“Let’s see what kind of treasure this is,” he said, opening the Treasure Box with anticipation.

Hiss!

As soon as he opened a slight gap, a terrifying aura shot up into the sky as if a Supreme Divine Sword was awakening, wanting to tear people apart.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The cave was filled with numerous terrifying Sword Marks, a fearsome sight.

Lin Xuan took the brunt of it, as if pierced by ten thousand swords.

Hum!

The Copper Thunder Pattern surfaced in an instant, resisting the terrifying killing intent.

The Great Dragon Sword Intent within his body roared, contending with the Sword Intent inside the Treasure Box.

Hum!

Hum!

As if provoked, the Sword Intent within the Treasure Box fought back, emitting an even more dazzling light.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The entire cave was pierced through, numerous boulders fell, and terrifying Sword Marks appeared on Lin Xuan’s body.

Bang!

Thunder surged on Lin Xuan, forming a ten-meter-long Protective Shield, and he quickly rushed out of the cave.

Crack!

He exerted all his might to close the Treasure Box.

In an instant, all the terrifying Sword Intent vanished.

All was quiet around him, not a sound to be heard.

Lin Xuan exhaled a breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a lingering fear.

Not killed by those people, but nearly killed by this box instead!

“What is this thing, could it be a trap?” Lin Xuan’s face fell.

Just now, in that moment, his Copper Thunder Body was nearly punctured, and that was just from opening a tiny crack.

“Idiot, this is a treasure, all thanks to it your Sword Intent has improved!” the Lord of Wine said.

“Improve Sword Intent?” Lin Xuan pondered, he indeed felt a heaven-shocking Sword Intent in the box, which was far stronger than Lin Feng’s Minor Sword Intent!

“Could it be Great Success Sword Intent?” Lin Xuan was moved.

“But how to improve it?

I simply can’t bear it right now.”

“Wanting to reap the rewards without taking risks, where is there such a good deal?” the Lord of Wine said with contempt, “The greater the risk, the greater the reward!”

“Whether you try or not is up to you, but if you’re attacked again, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to take you away again.”

Lin Xuan fell silent, he knew the Lord of Wine’s situation and that he couldn’t take action lightly.

Moreover, he didn’t want to be ambushed again, hunted down by a group of people because he was weak!

He didn’t want that to happen again!

“Let’s go for it!

A scar is nothing but a larger bowl; I do not wish to undergo the humiliation I faced today!” Lin Xuan’s eyes were resolute.

“Good, first set up an Array to avoid Sword Intent being exposed and causing unnecessary trouble,” the Lord of Wine communicated.

Lin Xuan nodded, ready to leave, but suddenly his brow furrowed.

“They’ve actually caught up, are they out to hunt me down mercilessly?” Lin Xuan’s face looked extremely unsightly.

Swoosh!

He vanished in a flash, leaving the area.

Moments later, several dozen figures appeared—it was indeed the people from Star Peak Pavilion and others.

“There’s residual Sword Intent here, along with some fresh blood; it seems he really sustained serious injuries!”

“Pursue!

We must not let him get away!” Fang Qiming said gravely.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Flashes of light flickered as these people chased after him.

“To the left!”

In the crowd, a white-robed youth with a cold expression constantly issued commands.

He was not Mu Chen, but another disciple of the Mu family, Mu Yi!

“You can’t escape.

Everything is under my control!” Mu Yi sneered coldly, holding a disc in his hand.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his face darkened.

Originally, the disc displayed a moving red dot representing Lin Xuan.

But now, that red dot had vanished!

Mu Yi felt as though he had been slapped across the face—his skin burned with humiliation.

He had just said that everything was under his control when Lin Xuan disappeared; it was undoubtedly a slap in his face!

“Damn it, he must have used some technique to conceal his presence!” Mu Yi bellowed in a fit of rage.

“Be calm.

Let’s split up and search.

He’s injured, surely he can’t have gone far,” Fang Qiming was cooler-headed than Mu Yi.

“Li He, take a team and head left.

Wu Dong, you take your men right, and the rest will follow me straight ahead!”

Immediately, the entire crowd split into three groups, heading swiftly in their respective directions.

In the Primitive Forest, Lin Xuan’s expression was solemn.

He had just used a method taught by Lord of Wine to temporarily seal the scent on the Demon Beast Bag, narrowly avoiding disaster.

“They’ve split up.

Time to collect some interest!” Lin Xuan darted out like a cheetah.

These people were ferocious and relentless, pursuing him for thousands of miles; naturally, he would not show mercy.

Choosing a team without any Half-step Soul Fusion Warriors, Lin Xuan used Soul Power to cover his entire presence and quietly got close.

A breeze stirred, and the leaves rustled.

The grass on the ground swayed like a green sea.

An eight-man team led by Li He was searching urgently.

“Eh, this looks like traces of being stepped on!” someone in the team exclaimed.

“Search carefully!” commanded Li He coldly.

The eight men spread out in an arc, each glowing faintly as they searched cautiously.

This formation not only improved the efficiency of their search but also allowed them to form a defense rapidly to prevent ambushes.

However, they still underestimated Lin Xuan.

Moreover, not only had Lin Xuan’s injuries healed, but his cultivation had also increased by a tier!

Hidden in the trees, Lin Xuan seized an opportunity and burst forth.

A flash of sword light burst forth—sharp Sword Waves surged, instantly slicing the two nearest men in half at the waist.

“Be careful, everyone!” Li He shouted, “Form the array!”

At the same time, he let out a long howl, calling for the others.

Boom!

Without wasting words, Lin Xuan slashed with his sword, emanating a chilling Sword Intent.

A flash of sword light, and Li He fell, clutching his neck, his eyes filled with indignation.

Boom!

A punch to the left sent blood mist exploding from one person Lin Xuan was beside.

Lin Xuan’s expression was icy.

If he didn’t kill them, they would kill him.

To survive, he had no choice.

“Wind and Thunder Sword Wave!”

Sword Qi churned, sending dense Sword Waves surging in all directions.

Puff, puff, puff!

Instantly three slower men were cut to pieces.

Flee!

The remaining two were terrified and ran in opposite directions.

As long as one person escaped, they could deliver the news that Lin Xuan wasn’t injured.
