Chapter 274 - Spirit Martial Mountain

Du Fei’s expression changed again and again.

As a Half-step Fusion Spirit Warrior, he truly couldn’t bear to beg for mercy.

But Lin Xuan’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

If he persisted, there was a high possibility of being slain.

“Guardian Ling Fengzi’s strength is formidable; ten Lin Xuans wouldn’t match him, let alone the chance of Lin Xuan being killed in seconds by Guardian Ling Fengzi!” Du Fei thought to himself, and calmness settled in his heart.

“It’s in Spirit Martial Mountain!” Du Fei said gravely, “Three thousand miles to the east from here.

You’ll see it once you arrive.”

“Mr.

Lin, what Du Fei said is indeed true,” Bai Ling spoke from the side.

“Spirit Martial Mountain is a holy land within the Futu Sect and also the place where martial arts have been passed down from this ancient sect.”

“There are a vast array of martial arts there.

As long as one can establish contact with Spirit Martial Mountain, one can acquire its martial arts.”

“Oh, is it that miraculous?” Lin Xuan was surprised.

“I wonder what grade these martial arts are?”

He now had a wealth of resources, and he somewhat looked down upon low-level Spiritual Martial Arts.

“The martial arts of Spirit Martial Mountain vary in strength, but the lowest are low-level Spiritual Martial Arts, and there have been reports of Earth Rank Martial Arts appearing.”

“Earth Rank Martial Arts!” Lin Xuan’s pupils shrank slightly; he was shocked.

Those were martial arts of legend, and the entire Xia Country probably didn’t possess a single complete Earth Rank Martial Arts text!

“Indeed, it is a good place!” Joy surged in his heart.

Bai Ling paused for a moment before continuing, “However, the privilege of communicating with Spirit Martial Mountain is limited, and there will be a fierce battle for it.”

“Also, some special items can enhance the contact with Spirit Martial Mountain, such as the Futu Order, so Mr.

Lin must be cautious!”

“Thank you,” Lin Xuan smiled.

Afterward, he turned to look at Du Fei, his eyes narrowing suddenly, faintly gleaming with a hint of coldness.

“I’ve already told you the whereabouts of Guardian Ling Fengzi.

You won’t go back on your word, will you?” Du Fei’s look was panic-stricken as he sensed a certain killing intent.

“I said I wouldn’t kill you, and I won’t go back on my word,” Lin Xuan stated gravely, “But someone like you keeping your martial arts is just harming others.

It’s better you live as an ordinary person.”

Whoosh!

A flash of light, and Lin Xuan rapidly charged toward Du Fei.

“You, you wouldn’t dare!” Du Fei’s face turned white with fear; this was an attempt to cripple his martial arts!

“Wind God Technique!”

A ruthless look appeared in his eyes, and Du Fei was surrounded by swirling black winds, like a Demon Beast.

Boom!

A Star Stone, glittering with dazzling brightness, smashed toward him, instantly tearing apart the surrounding black winds.

The immense impact force struck him, causing him to spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

At that instant, Lin Xuan’s figure also appeared in front of Du Fei.

Sword Intent surged, and with a flick of his finger, sword light swirled forth, carrying a piercing force that shattered the Spirit Sea within Du Fei’s body.

“Ah—”

Du Fei screamed, his body tumbling to the ground.

“You dared to cripple me, Guardian Ling Fengzi won’t let you off!” His agonizing scream echoed throughout the hall, and the others trembled, not daring to make a sound.

This method was too terrifying; two Half-step Fusion Spirit Warriors, one dead and one injured, had genuinely shocked these people.

“Don’t let me catch you, Black Wind Sect, committing evil again; otherwise, I won’t spare you next time!” Lin Xuan huffed coldly, his cape billowing as he rushed down the stairs.

After Lin Xuan’s departure, the hall finally returned to normal.

“This guy will be a strong opponent for Brother Zhao Jie in the future!” Bai Ling felt a twinge of worry within.

The disciples of the Black Wind Sect lifted Du Fei in a panic, the terror on their faces not yet dissipated.

“Let’s go, quickly to Spirit Martial Mountain!” The group hastened to leave.

On his way through the thirteenth floor, Lin Xuan went to see Leng Yidao and the Ice and Snow Fairy.

Leng Yidao sat cross-legged in front of the stone statue, lost in contemplation, while the Ice and Snow Fairy stood by as a guardian.

After telling the Ice and Snow Fairy about the events at Spirit Martial Mountain, Lin Xuan left a few talisman treasures behind before departing.

These talisman treasures were ones he had discovered in the Storage Rings of Meng Yan and others, they were of no use to him, so it was better to give them away.

“You plan to go to Spirit Martial Mountain?

There might be a fierce battle ahead!” Lord of Wine said.

“Mm,” Lin Xuan knew, but for the Earth Rank Martial Arts, he had to take the risk.

Earth Rank Martial Arts, those were legendary martial arts that didn’t even exist in the entirety of Xia Country!

Even the top Three-star Sects only had some incomplete pieces.

That’s why Spirit Martial Mountain was a place that everyone aspired to reach.

“If I’m not mistaken, to acquire the Earth Rank Martial Arts, you’ll need at least the Futu Order, and possibly other conditions.

Not to mention the Futu Order itself probably isn’t abundant, you need to prepare for the worst!” Lord of Wine reminded.

Indeed, there were not many Futu Orders, so far just three had appeared.

And the Earth Rank Martial Arts were too tempting—martial artists who had the Futu Order might likely be attacked by a group.

The thought of a group of Genius Martial Artists vying for the Futu Order excited Lin Xuan.

His cape fluttered behind him, and Lin Xuan turned into a ray of light, darting out.

The cloak, after Lord of Wine’s appraisal, was an incomplete Spiritual Grade Treasure, its grade even higher than Lin Xuan had anticipated.

With this black cloak, Lin Xuan’s speed had at least tripled; no one could match him now.

Even the ordinary Half-step Fusion Spirit Warriors were likely not his equal.

Furthermore, this cloak had other functions.

During his refining ritual, Lin Xuan discovered secret techniques such as invisibility, cloning, and Blood Sacrifice acceleration.

However, the cloak was only a semi-finished product, and currently, only the Blood Sacrifice acceleration secret technique could be deployed.

“Earth Rank Martial Arts, this could be key to defeating Lin Feng!” Lin Xuan’s heart blazed as he increased his speed once again.

Before long, a majestic giant mountain appeared in his view.

The mountain had five peaks connected together, resembling a human hand.

Atop the mountains, Lin Xuan felt a peculiar energy, like a slumbering lion, containing a heart-throbbing power.

“This must be Spirit Martial Mountain.” Lin Xuan slowed down and drifted forward.

The towering Spirit Martial Mountain had no vegetation; it was all uniquely shaped rocks.

From a distance, one could see that these rocks made up strange patterns, full of mystery and wonder.

Feeling the ancient aura coming from the mountain, Lin Xuan shivered.

“This mountain is no simple thing!” Lord of Wine said gravely, “I seem to feel a sense of familiarity here.”

“Things from the distant past, some I can hardly remember, but you must be careful.”

Lin Xuan nodded and walked towards Spirit Martial Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a large number of martial artists had gathered, creating an overwhelming presence.

But this momentum paled in comparison to the aura leaking from Spirit Martial Mountain, insignificant as gnats shaking a tree.

The most conspicuous in the crowd were Black Wind Sect and the Mu family, each occupying the best positions, warily monitoring each other.

Among them, Ling Fengzi and Mu Chen were surrounded like stars surround the moon, a sight to behold.

Apart from them, there was a figure in white seated alone, surrounded by Sword Qi making no one dare to approach.

“Lin Feng!”

Lin Xuan’s gaze darkened; he felt the other’s Sword Intent had improved again, almost equal to his.

“It seems this guy has also had an adventure!” Lin Xuan took a deep breath; although he didn’t have the confidence to defeat Lin Feng now, the other party could do no harm to him either.

Lin Xuan’s eyes twinkled with sword light, and his fist clenched slightly.

“The humiliation of being driven out of Sword Pond Prefecture, I will claim it all back at the family meeting!”

Lin Xuan’s gaze was resolute, and a Dragon Roar rang out from within him.

He sought not an equal struggle, but absolute dominance—to brutally knock down the person who had framed him!

“Half a year left!” Lin Xuan calmed himself and looked towards Spirit Martial Mountain.

Only the Earth Rank Martial Arts would allow him to make great strides in half a year.
