Chapter 35

Jiang Yulong was originally full of confidence, a smile of invincibility on his face, ready to receive the mysterious brown stone. But he didn't expect that the duck in his mouth would suddenly fly away. The stone drew an arc in the air, avoided Jiang Yulong, and flew towards the back.

The disciples of the Divine Might Group standing nearby also had a look of confusion. Just a moment ago, they were praising Brother Jiang for being favored by heaven, but in the blink of an eye, the treasure that flew in had escaped.

Whoosh!

The stone, about the size of a watermelon, drilled into the forest and disappeared. Just as everyone was puzzled, a figure darted out of the forest and quickly fled into the distance.

A moment later, a chorus of curses erupted from the crowd of the Divine Might Group: "Damn it, the stone was stolen, quick, chase after him!"

"It must be that person who used some demonic trick to make the stone change direction!"

"Find him, break his limbs, and let him know the power of our Divine Might Group!"

The disciples all had fire in their eyes, chasing in the direction the figure had fled. Jiang Yulong also sneered, turning into a blur as he quickly chased after the figure.

Huff! Huff!

Lin Xuan exerted all his spiritual energy, running for his life into the forest. Just now, he and Jiuye had used the suction force to successfully draw the brown stone over, causing it to change direction in front of Jiang Yulong.

"Damn, that was too exciting!" Lin Xuan's heart was pounding. Snatching the stone right under so many people's noses, and it was the Divine Might Group's stone at that, the feeling was incredible!

"Jiuye, what's inside?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Can't tell. There's a mysterious force on the surface of the stone that prevents me from probing it. We'll only know what it is after cutting it open."

"Huh, different from last time?" Lin Xuan was surprised. Even Jiuye couldn't see through it?

"It might be because the stone has been tainted by the demonic nature of the pit. But that doesn't matter. Just cut it open and see."

"Grandpa Jiuye, I don't have much of my fine wine left. I really hope it's a ten-thousand-year-old spirit wood!" Just as Jiuye finished speaking, he suddenly frowned. "Xuanzi, hurry, someone is catching up from behind."

"Damn, so fast?" Lin Xuan was startled. He was already running at his fastest speed, but the other party was still catching up, which made him nervous.

This speed meant the person chasing him was definitely an expert, probably not someone as easy to deal with as a junior leader. Lin Xuan was anxious and changed direction again.

However, the sense of danger behind him did not diminish, still hanging over his head like a sharp sword.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind Lin Xuan, followed by a brilliant sword beam.

Boom!

Lin Xuan stepped on a tree trunk, his entire body moving sideways, barely avoiding the sword beam.

"What a terrifying sword!" Lin Xuan was shaken. The sword not only had strong spiritual energy but also carried a momentum that seemed to cut through everything.

"Is this sword momentum? Indeed, it's very powerful!" Lin Xuan was no stranger to sword momentum; his move "Star from Beyond" carried a kind of sword momentum, but he couldn't use it at will.

"Hmph! You actually managed to dodge? You do have some skill, but that's all. Hand over the stone, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, you'll regret ever being born!"

Lin Xuan warily looked at the figure. It was a handsome young man who exuded a natural sense of superiority, looking down on everyone.

However, he had the right to be arrogant. The flame-like spiritual energy around him indicated his powerful cultivation at the Sixth Stage of Meridian Condensation. Combined with that sword, this young man was far stronger than an average Sixth Stage Spirit Warrior.

"Don't resist; you don't even have a chance to fight! Hand over the brown stone, and I'll let you go!" Jiang Yulong ordered. "He originally wanted to kill Lin Xuan immediately, but he didn't find the stone, so he resorted to threats."

"Since you're a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, you must have heard of the Four Heroes of the Outer Sect. Rest assured, as long as you tell me where the brown stone is hidden, I'll ensure your safety!"

Lin Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Jiang Yulong was trying to trick him, and it was a good thing he had already handed over the brown stone. Otherwise, the other party would have already made a move.

However, what made him nervous was that the other party was one of the Four Heroes of the Outer Sect, a truly monstrous existence.

"Want the stone? Follow me!" Lin Xuan had no choice but to buy some time.

He used the Instant Shadow Step and ran in a certain direction. Jiang Yulong sneered and followed at a leisurely pace.

"Jiuye, quickly cut open the stone!" Lin Xuan urged in his mind. If it turned out to be a divine weapon, he could still fight Jiang Yulong.

"You better not play any tricks. I know the route you're taking. One wrong step, and I'll cut off one of your arms!" Jiang Yulong's voice was as cold as a reaper's.

"Damn!" Lin Xuan was furious. He had originally planned to bluff, but he didn't expect Jiang Yulong to be so sharp.

Due to Jiang Yulong's pressure, Lin Xuan had to speed up. He retraced his original route, and a group of people were coming this way. Lin Xuan recognized them as members of the Divine Might Group.

"Trouble!" Lin Xuan saw Xing Lifeng and others. These people knew his identity and would never let him go. He couldn't help but grip the long sword at his waist.

"Xuanzi, it's a talisman paper." Jiuye said.

"Talisman paper? What kind, an attack type?"

A talisman paper is a special method used by talisman masters to seal energy in paper, to be used in times of crisis. These talisman papers are generally very powerful and have countless uses.

Actually, he had long wanted to get a few, but they were too expensive for him to afford.

"It's not an attack type." Jiuye said, "It's a wind escape talisman."

"Escape talisman!" Lin Xuan almost laughed out loud. He needed this so much; it was definitely a lifesaver in a dire situation!

"However, the talisman paper is incomplete, only half of it." Just as Lin Xuan was secretly rejoicing, Jiuye poured cold water on him.

Lin Xuan felt like crying. After all that, it turned out to be a broken half of a talisman paper. His luck was really bad! At this moment, the members of the Divine Might Group arrived in front of him. They were shocked to see Lin Xuan.

"It's you!"

"You know him?" Jiang Yulong frowned.

"Brother Jiang, this kid is the one who opposes our Divine Might Group. He killed Zhang Bin." Someone said.

"Kid, you're too arrogant, daring to steal the divine stone from our Brother Jiang. You're asking for death!"

"Brother Jiang is mighty, he subdued this kid with one move..."

Jiang Yulong frowned and looked at Lin Xuan, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.

"Shut up, the stone is still in his hands."

"What?" The disciples of the Divine Might Group were stunned, then they all glared at Lin Xuan. "Kid, hand over the divine stone quickly!"

"Want the stone? Sure, let me think about it." Lin Xuan smiled. "But you can't shout at me. If you scare me and I forget where I put the stone, it's not my problem."

"Kid, you're asking for death..." The disciples of the Divine Might Group were all furious, ready to pounce.

"Shut up!" Jiang Yulong looked at Lin Xuan's small face, suddenly feeling a very bad premonition.
