"Yin! ——"
Lin Xi wielded his magical sword with divine skill, whirling and clashing with the three men's magical swords, sparking a series of flashes.
He grabbed with both hands, and the Ghost King Claw seemed to be unleashed without any consumption of true qi, fiercely attacking. He fought against three, and with Cao's three brothers, he had both offense and defense, making it hard to distinguish the victor.
Cao Long, Cao Hu, and Cao Bao were increasingly alarmed. The three had seen Lin Xi hunt the Sky Patrol Eagles with the disciples of the Northern Dipper Palace, but there were seven people, and Lin Xi didn't need to act much. Moreover, the distance was far, and they couldn't see clearly.
They originally thought that since Lin Xi was valued by Long Bingyan, who personally ordered his death, it was normal for him to have some special qualities. After all, he was just a nominal disciple and had not passed the formal disciple examination, so his strength was limited.
However, they never expected that Lin Xi was full of secrets. Not only was his strength far beyond that of ordinary first-stage cultivators, but he also possessed a mid-grade magical artifact, and could fight against three, making it hard to distinguish the victor!
"Lin Xi! You are a talent, but you will still die! I want to see how long you can last, fighting us and consuming true qi!"
Cao Long's eyes flickered, and he roared at the other two:
"Cao Bao, Cao Hu, don't hold back. Drain his true qi. Although he has a mid-grade magical artifact for protection, such a powerful artifact consumes a lot of true qi. In just a moment, his true qi will surely be drained. Without true qi support, the mid-grade magical artifact will be useless, and killing him will be as easy as killing a chicken!"
Cao Long's eyes were sharp. Under the same level, the more powerful the magical artifact, the more true qi it consumes. Without true qi support, the magical artifact cannot function.
Although Lin Xi's strength was strong, it was because of the mid-grade magical artifact that he could fight like this. Without that mid-grade magical artifact, he would be shredded in minutes!
"Is that so? Then let's see if you can drain my true qi!"
Lin Xi sneered, dismissing Cao Long's thoughts.
Rumble!
His body trembled, and streams of true qi flowed from every cell in his body, converging into his meridians, transforming back into a surging torrent of true qi.
At this moment, Lin Xi seemed like a heavenly deity, unstoppable.
His body contained a large amount of the energy from the Thunder Lord Pill, so he was not afraid of true qi consumption. Cao Long, Cao Hu, and Cao Bao's decision to drain his true qi was a huge mistake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The attacks between the four were like a storm, earth-shattering. Magical swords, magical artifacts, and techniques were all used, and their true qi was pushed to the limit.
The situation between the two sides was extremely dangerous. If one side could not hold, it would result in death. Their true qi was intertwined, and there was no way to withdraw.
"This feeling is truly wondrous!"
Lin Xi, surrounded, faced the Cao brothers' frenzied attacks, but his mind remained calm, as if he were not part of the battle. It was a state of extreme rationality and calmness.
Vaguely, Lin Xi felt as if he had returned to the battle with the four Flame Black Tigers.
It was because of the previous battle with the Flame Black Tigers that Lin Xi had tested his limits and fully grasped his own strength, which gave him the confidence to face the Cao brothers in a decisive battle!
Whether in martial arts or the path of immortality, one's own strength is important, but combat experience is even more crucial.
Since Lin Xi had started on the path of immortality, he had very little experience fighting true qi cultivators, let alone group battles. The disciples of the Northern Dipper Palace would never fight him, and the Flame Black Tigers, being tigers and not humans, had limited intelligence and could not compare to true immortals.
The appearance of the Cao brothers provided Lin Xi with an excellent opportunity to truly train his reaction to group attacks.
As triplets, Cao Long, Cao Hu, and Cao Bao cooperated seamlessly, far surpassing any other three cultivators. Fighting them greatly enriched Lin Xi's combat experience.
Lin Xi felt that he gained something every moment. Cao Long, Cao Hu, and Cao Bao were like a machine, constantly pushing Lin Xi to his limits, making him perform at his best.
At first, Lin Xi felt some pressure, but later, he felt more relaxed and had the energy to adjust his minor flaws.
"How can it be like this!"
The Cao brothers were increasingly alarmed. At first, they felt they could definitely defeat Lin Xi. Moreover, Lin Xi's magical sword, magical artifact, and techniques were not yet perfectly coordinated, leaving some flaws.
But later, all these flaws disappeared!
Lin Xi had transformed into a killing machine. His entire body was a weapon, and with the same strength, the attacks and destruction he unleashed were comparable to those of three experts of the same level.
What alarmed the three even more was that while their true qi was being consumed, Lin Xi remained as powerful as at the beginning!
"Bad! If we keep fighting like this, we three brothers will die here!"
"How can it be like this! Is he even human! How can a person have such strength and true qi? Even three peak cultivators can't match him!"
"I can't hold on anymore. Such attacks are too draining! —— Are we really hunting a nominal disciple?"
...
The three were not just alarmed; they were terrified!
Their opponent was just a nominal disciple, but the strength he displayed was on par with a second-stage cultivator. Even a second-stage cultivator wouldn't have such monstrous endurance!
"Second brother, third brother, this guy is too strong. We can't win, prepare to retreat!"
Cao Long, at this moment, had to admit defeat. He didn't speak but signaled with his eyes to Cao Hu and Cao Bao. As triplets, they shared a mental connection, and a glance was enough.
Lin Xi, being who he was, felt the three's magical artifacts start to waver, far less impressive than before, and immediately knew that the three were exhausted, and the time was right.
"Alright, let's end this. I'll send you on your way!"
Lin Xi's true qi surged, a vast torrent encompassing heaven and earth, surging into the mid-grade magical artifact, the Golden Cauldron, on his head. He abandoned his defense, raised his magical sword, and with both palms, unleashed the "Ghost King Claw," aiming for Cao Long, the leader.
Rumble!
This attack was earth-shattering, the momentum so overwhelming that it seemed to tear the sky apart.
"Bad!"
Cao Long was shocked, a sense of unprecedented danger rising in his heart. He roared, using all his true qi for a desperate attack.
"Big brother! ——"
Cao Hu and Cao Bao, their hands and feet cold with fear, roared and attacked Lin Xi's back with all their might.
However, the magical sword and the lion claw hit Lin Xi but encountered an invisible barrier, failing to tear through his body as expected.
Lin Xi grunted, being thrown back, but his attack on Cao Long was unaffected.
"Ah! ——"
A惨叫 sounded, and at this moment, Cao Long could not withstand Lin Xi's full attack. Just one hit, and he was crushed by the "Golden Cauldron," his legs kicking as he was turned into a bloody pulp.
"Big brother! ——"
Cao Hu and Cao Bao, seeing this, their eyes bloodshot, let out a mournful cry.
At this moment, Lin Xi revealed his ferocious side.
With the "Ten Thousand Emperors' Robe" protecting him, the attacks of Cao Hu and Cao Bao were far less damaging than expected. Moreover, after a long battle, their true qi was exhausted.
"Hmph! You thought that by teaming up, you could overwhelm me. This time, I will thoroughly eliminate you. I will warn Long Bingyan to see how many experts she has to send to kill me!"
Lin Xi, having killed Cao Long, exuded a surging killing aura!
The Long family, led by Long Bingyan, had been rooted in the Divine Night Sect for a long time. Lin Xi's goal was to cut off Long Bingyan's wings and uproot the Long family as revenge.
"Lin Xi, don't be so smug! You have committed a heinous crime by killing your fellow disciples. My big brother will not die in vain. I will make you pay for his death!"
Cao Bao, gritting his teeth, was angry, but he felt the situation was hopeless. The previous attack could have severed even iron, but Lin Xi, struck by the magical sword, was unharmed, clearly protected by a powerful magical artifact.
This battle, from the start, put him in an unbeatable position.
Even if he stayed, he was no match. It was better to leave and preserve himself for future revenge!
"Immature! You dared to hunt me, so I can kill you. And—"
Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light:
"Do you think we will let you escape?"
Boom!
The void trembled, and a vast torrent of true qi surged, enveloping the two brothers. At the same time, a huge lion claw imprint burst forth from Lin Xi's body, grabbing at them.
"Lion Palm!"
The two were terrified, their hearts almost failing!
They immediately recognized it as their own true qi and their ultimate technique. But the one who unleashed it was Lin Xi.
This was even more terrifying than Lin Xi fighting three!
"Brother! Run!"
Cao Hu's eyes flashed with despair, and he roared, suddenly throwing Cao Bao and blocking Lin Xi.
The situation was now in Lin Xi's control, and there was no peaceful resolution. Someone had to stay behind!
"Boom!"
The "Lion Palm" stored in the Ten Thousand Emperors' Robe, combined with Lin Xi's full attack, killed Cao Hu in one hit, leaving no trace of his body.
However, at this moment, Cao Bao had the opportunity to fly away.
"Camilla, it's time to act!"
Lin Xi did not chase, but looked up at Cao Bao, issuing an order.
From the side, a red figure flew up, instantly catching up to Cao Bao. The Vampire Queen, after following Lin Xi, absorbed his blood daily, restoring much of her strength. Moreover, she had absorbed the energy from the Thunder Lord Pill, making it easy for her to deal with the exhausted Cao Bao.
"Ah! ——"
Cao Bao was instantly caught by Camilla, who bit into his neck, and he let out a piercing scream:
"Lin Xi! Senior Sister Long will avenge us—"
His voice cut off as Camilla drained his blood, twisted his neck, and kicked his body down from the air.
