Chapter 92

The young man riding the tiger demon was naturally Lin Xuan. He had not rented a flying bird and could only walk. Later, under the guidance of Old Jiuye, he entered a whole new realm, the realm of the soul.

The root of this was the seed of sword intent within his body, which not only enhanced his attacks but also strengthened his will and soul. Lin Xuan used this seed of sword intent to form a prototype of a sword soul in his mind and could employ various techniques.

For example, piercing illusions and mind control.

This first-stage demon beast was subdued by his powerful will, and Lin Xuan used it for transportation while continuously studying the usage of the sword soul.

Half a day later, the tall trees gradually became sparse, and Lin Xuan knew he was about to leave the forest.

He gently patted the first-stage demon tiger beneath him, urging it to speed up.

Whoosh! Rustle!

Suddenly, sounds came from ahead, and black shadows moved in the forest.

Lin Xuan looked around vigilantly, his spiritual energy ready to be unleashed.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Dozens of black rays flashed, rushing towards Lin Xuan with a sharp whistling sound.

Golden Thunder Palm!

Lin Xuan remained still, golden arcs appearing in his palm, and a flurry of palm shadows filled the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black arrows collided with the golden palm shadows, generating waves of energy that snapped the surrounding branches and trunks.

Huff! Huff!

After the ambush, the black shadows hiding behind the trees revealed themselves.

Lin Xuan glanced over and his expression changed slightly.

Dozens of black figures floated in the sky. These creatures had human bodies and eagle heads, covered in black feathers, with large black wings flapping continuously.

"Demons!" Lin Xuan took a deep breath, jumping off the demon tiger and focusing his attention.

"These eagle men are second-stage demons, with strength equivalent to the early Ninth Rank of the Condensation Pulse stage. You'd better break through quickly," Old Jiuye reminded.

Lin Xuan's figure flickered, and he used the Illusory Thunder Step, turning into a residual image and dashing towards the forest exit.

Behind him, the eagle men pursued relentlessly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The second-stage eagle men flew very fast and had bows and arrows, continuously attacking Lin Xuan.

Fortunately, this was in the forest, with many trees providing cover, and Lin Xuan constantly changed direction, avoiding injury.

However, despite this, Lin Xuan was still somewhat disheveled.

"No good, if I keep running, once I leave the forest, they will definitely catch up." Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, and he did not immediately leave the forest but engaged the eagle men.

"Try attacking!" Lin Xuan swung his palms, creating a flurry of palm shadows, then leaped towards one of the eagle men.

A green sword aura, intertwined with golden arcs, quickly pierced towards the eagle man's chest.

The eagle man let out a sharp cry, and his wings suddenly flapped, creating two gusts of wind that rushed towards Lin Xuan.

"Illusory Thunder Step!"

Lin Xuan formed a lightning illusion in the air, while his true body moved to the side, and a sword beam struck down.

Boom!

The two gusts of wind hit the lightning illusion, emitting a burst of light, while the eagle man was injured by Lin Xuan's sword aura, nearly losing half his body.

Huff! Huff!

The injured eagle man lost balance and began to fall.

However, the remaining eagle men all pounced on Lin Xuan, various gusts of wind and arrows continuously attacking him.

"Whirlwind Sweep!"

Lin Xuan swung his sword twice, creating six whirlwinds on the ground, each with green wind blades rushing forward.

Immediately, a strong wind blew, the two air currents colliding, uprooting nearby trees and sending them into the air. The eagle men flapped their wings to maintain balance.

"Good opportunity!" Lin Xuan's body turned into a green lightning bolt, instantly rushing out.

"Swift Wind Triple Thrust!"

"Protective Sword Aura!"

With a green sword aura protecting him, Lin Xuan thrust forward.

The Swift Wind Triple Thrust was a series of three attacks, each extremely fierce and covering a great distance.

The first thrust brought Lin Xuan to the injured eagle man, the second took its life, and the third allowed him to escape.

All these actions happened in an instant. The eagle men only saw three green sword auras in the sky, then Lin Xuan's figure appeared, and the injured eagle man fell dead.

With a successful strike, Lin Xuan did not linger and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Behind him, the eagle men were enraged, emitting mournful cries and madly chasing after Lin Xuan...

North Guard City was a human combat base, filled with many martial artists and abundant resources. It was the closest base to the front lines.

Many Spirit Sea Realm martial artists were stationed there, making it very safe, with few demons even in the surrounding area.

At this moment, some armored martial artists were patrolling the city walls, mainly monitoring the sky.

At this time, someone noticed something unusual.

Outside the city gates, several auras were rapidly approaching. The soldiers were tense, preparing for battle.

"Should we report it?" someone asked.

"Wait, it doesn't seem to be a demon horde, just a few demons," a small leader said.

Everyone looked closely and confirmed this.

A black-clothed youth was running quickly, his figure like lightning. Behind him were six angry eagle men.

"His speed is incredible, even second-stage eagle men can't catch up!" a soldier exclaimed.

"Amazing, to escape from six eagle men!" the small leader was also shocked.

"First, kill the eagle men, then question his identity."

Immediately, several soldiers took action, quickly setting up six large crossbows, ready to fire.

Fire!

On the command, six huge arrows flew out, each over two zhang long, piercing the air.

Lin Xuan used the Illusory Thunder Step, running quickly. He had already killed three of the nine eagle men, but the remaining six stayed together, making it impossible for him to attack.

However, the city was now clearly visible.

At this moment, six black arrows flew out, like six spears, carrying a strong wind.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The six eagle men behind him were all pinned to the ground, their bodies convulsing.

"Amazing!" Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. He could feel the power of the arrows; no one below the Spirit Sea Realm could survive.

"Who are you?" a voice came from the city wall.

"I am Lin Xuan, a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, sent by my sect to participate in the Hundred Herbs Hall rescue mission!" Lin Xuan gathered his spiritual energy, his voice resonant.

Soon, the huge bronze city gates opened, and two teams of armored soldiers walked out, cautiously looking at Lin Xuan.

"Identity token!" one of them said coldly.

Lin Xuan handed over his sect disciple token and mission token, while secretly observing the soldiers. He found that their auras were strong, their eyes sharp, and they carried a killing aura that ordinary disciples did not have.

"Truly the front lines, even ordinary soldiers are so strong!" Lin Xuan thought to himself.

At this moment, the soldiers had verified Lin Xuan's identity. A man with a scar on his face laughed loudly, "Young brother, your skills are remarkable, to escape from six eagle men, truly a heroic youth!"
