Chapter 10

"Brat, you're dead!" the square-faced disciple screamed wildly.

In the distance, several figures were rapidly approaching. Their bodies were glowing, and their strength was no less than Lin Xuan's.

Although Lin Xuan was not afraid of trouble, he wasn't foolish enough to fight the entire Divine Might Group alone. Who knew how many of their people were in these mountains? It wasn't the right time to confront them head-on.

He moved his body and was about to run away.

Swoosh!

A cold light blocked his path. It was the square-faced disciple, who was desperately trying to intercept him. Seeing his companions arrive, he naturally wouldn't let Lin Xuan escape.

"Scram!" A sword light flashed in Lin Xuan's hand, piercing out like a rainbow. The square-faced disciple let out a惨叫 and was thrown back.

However, this delay gave the Divine Might Group members from a distance enough time. Three figures arrived first, blocking Lin Xuan.

"Who dares to harm the Divine Might Group? You're asking for death!" The first person had a strong aura, and his body was glowing brightly. He was a Fourth-Rank Spirit Warrior. The other two were also powerful, reaching the Third-Rank Spirit Warrior level.

"Lin Xuan, it's actually you!" One of the Third-Rank Spirit Warriors was surprised, then laughed, "Meeting me, you can die in peace!"

This Third-Rank Spirit Warrior was Zhang Bin, who turned red with anger at the sight of Lin Xuan, wishing to kill him immediately.

"Brother Hai, this brat is the sword slave I told you about. Don't let him go!" Zhang Bin said to the Fourth-Rank Spirit Warrior.

"Don't worry, our people are all coming. Even a god can't save him." The disciple called Brother Hai sneered.

Lin Xuan's heart sank. Since the other side wanted to capture him, he wouldn't hold back. It was better to strike first than to wait for death. He glanced at the surrounding terrain and had an idea.

He suddenly leaped up, and his black iron sword turned into a meteor, flashing past.

Pfft!

Everything happened too suddenly, with no warning. Lin Xuan was like a bolt of lightning, moving at an incredible speed.

The Fourth-Rank Spirit Warrior called Brother Hai tried to dodge but was too late. In a hurry, he could only avoid the vital areas. The sword cut across his chest, tearing off a piece of flesh.

"Ahh!"

A scream echoed as Lin Xuan broke through the encirclement, stepping on the trees and leaping onto a rock, fleeing into the distance.

"Chase him!" the Fourth-Rank disciple screamed, using his spiritual energy to wrap his wound and then taking a red pill, swallowing it.

"We can't let him escape. Watch his route and send a signal. Those who provoke the Divine Might Group have only one outcome!"

The three chased after the direction Lin Xuan fled. Zhang Bin, seeing Lin Xuan getting stronger each time, had only one thought: to make Lin Xuan die. Otherwise, he would be the one to suffer in the future.

"Hmph, put in more effort. This brat's movement technique is low-level, and his speed isn't fast. We'll chase him to death!" The Fourth-Rank Spirit Warrior, covering his wound, had a fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Xuan's speed wasn't fast, as he was using a basic movement technique. Being able to achieve this speed with a basic technique was already impressive.

However, he was still caught up.

The Fourth-Rank disciple called Brother Hai, like a hungry wolf, used his strongest move, trying to split Lin Xuan in two. Zhang Bin and the other Third-Rank Spirit Warrior also used their most vicious moves, attacking Lin Xuan's vital points.

The previous move, "Meteor from the Sky," had almost drained a third of Lin Xuan's spiritual energy. At the time, he didn't intend to kill, just to incapacitate the Fourth-Rank disciple. Otherwise, the other side would have died.

If he really killed someone, the Divine Might Group would surely seek revenge. Not for the lives, but for the reputation. The Divine Might Group wouldn't let Lin Xuan go, and it might even alert the inner disciples.

This wasn't what Lin Xuan wanted. His goal was to become a core disciple and return to his family. Fighting the Divine Might Group now would be too costly.

Lin Xuan's long sword glowed with spiritual energy, like a celestial sword, slicing through the air.

The three were forced to retreat, surprised by Lin Xuan's sword skills. Despite using the most basic techniques, he always managed to counter them.

Zhang Bin grew more and more afraid as the fight continued. Finally, he gritted his teeth, took out a talisman, infused it with spiritual energy, and threw it at Lin Xuan.

The talisman expanded in the wind, growing larger and emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation.

Lin Xuan instinctively felt alarmed. The spiritual energy from the talisman made his heart tremble, and it was likely that even a Fifth-Rank Spirit Warrior wouldn't have such power.

Swoosh!

The talisman kept flashing, and in a burst of light, three half-meter-long silver light swords, like silver dragons, pierced towards Lin Xuan's vital points.

The terrifying spiritual energy shook the surroundings, creating a loud rumbling in the air.

Lin Xuan pushed his basic movement technique to the limit, constantly changing his position. He fully activated his spiritual energy, which flickered like green flames around his body.

However, the three silver light swords were too fast, like lightning. Despite his best efforts to dodge, Lin Xuan was still grazed by the sword light, and he was thrown back like a leaf.

The three silver light swords hit the ground, creating a deep, black pit and cutting through several trees.

Pfft!

Just being grazed by the sword light, Lin Xuan felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, his blood boiling, and he suffered internal injuries.

"He's injured, everyone attack!" Zhang Bin, seeing that his life-saving talisman didn't kill Lin Xuan, was furious and urged his companions to attack.

Lin Xuan's situation was very dangerous. The three opponents were like fierce beasts, charging at him with overwhelming momentum.

He frantically circulated the Longevity Technique, his spiritual energy flowing like a river, repairing his injured body.

Swallowing a pill, Lin Xuan's body shot up, leaving a trail of afterimages as he fled into the distance.

The three pursued relentlessly, startling many wild beasts along the way. However, they didn't care; they were driven by a burning anger, and they would go mad if they didn't kill Lin Xuan.

"Brat, die!" The three charged at him wildly.

Lin Xuan raised his sword to block.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor inside his body, and a black lotus appeared at the tip of his sword.

Mysterious and eerie.

The black lotus, like a bloodthirsty demon, instantly drained the Fourth-Rank disciple of all his blood, leaving only a human skin on the ground.

Zhang Bin and the other disciple were so frightened that their eyes bulged, and they trembled, stepping back.

"You, you're a monster..."

Swoosh! Lin Xuan, seemingly unable to control himself, thrust his sword at the Third-Rank Spirit Warrior. Soon, that person was also drained.

Clang!

Zhang Bin's sword fell to the ground, and he kept retreating. When he saw Lin Xuan raise his sword again, he fell to his knees.

"Don't kill me!" Zhang Bin kept bowing, trembling all over. He never thought Lin Xuan was so terrifying, capable of draining human blood. If he had known, he would never have provoked Lin Xuan.

"He discovered my secret, he will definitely kill me!" Zhang Bin thought, "I'll beg for mercy, then attack him!" With this in mind, he secretly reached for another talisman in his pocket.

"Big brother, grandpa! Don't kill me!" Zhang Bin kept begging, "No, you're my grandpa, treat me like a grandson, please let me go!"

Lin Xuan was trying hard to suppress the bloodthirsty impulse inside him. He didn't know what was happening, but the black lotus was very familiar to him. It was the same black lotus that had sealed his spirit veins.

He only wanted to kill, and if not for the continuous circulation of the Longevity Technique, he would have already lost control. Two forces were fighting inside him: one was the green spiritual energy formed by the Longevity Technique, and the other was the black aura from the black lotus. They were in a stalemate, neither able to overpower the other.

Zhang Bin noticed that Lin Xuan was frozen in place, a fierce look in his eyes. He quickly took out the talisman from his pocket and threw it at Lin Xuan.

"Die!" Zhang Bin was like a madman.

Boom!

The talisman flashed, and a light ball brighter than the sun flew towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's body seemed to turn into a black hole, instantly absorbing the light ball. Then, the mysterious small sword inside him trembled, and the green spiritual energy surged, quickly suppressing the black lotus.

Lin Xuan regained his senses and decisively thrust his sword, piercing through Zhang Bin's throat.

"You..." Zhang Bin clutched his throat, his pupils dilating, "My, my big brother is..."

He didn't finish his sentence before collapsing.
