Chapter 147 - Sword Cry Slaying Demons, Yuan Gate Conspiracy

"Whoosh!"

A golden light flew out from Shi Dong's corpse. The faint golden Nascent Soul looked at the youth not far away, who was standing in front of Ying Huanhuan, with a hint of fear still in its eyes.

Not far away, Ying Huanhuan looked at Shi Dong's Nascent Soul, her pupils shrinking involuntarily. On Shi Dong's faint golden Nascent Soul, which had been dimmed quite a bit by Lin Xuan's attack, there were many black Demonic Markings, obviously completely tainted by Demonic Contamination.

And the Otherworldly Demon race always had many methods, especially the means of devouring each other to enhance their strength. She hoped Shi Dong and the others wouldn't do that!

Shi Dong never expected that this guy would be so crazy, so perverted. Was he even human?

Eight people joining forces to fight one, with the advantage of severely injuring the opponent first, shouldn't they have the upper hand? How could he be killed instead? Moreover, that astonishing Sword Qi almost instantly wiped out both of his lives. He was truly a crazy monster.

Recalling that dazzling Sword, Shi Dong still felt lingering fear. If it weren't for preserving his strength to resist the attacks of the other people, if Lin Xuan had released all of his Sword Qi just now, he would have truly been destroyed in both body and soul, his Nascent Soul and physical body completely annihilated.

Was this the Sword Skill that mortals could achieve?

At this moment, even as an opponent, Shi Dong no longer had the slightest doubt about the title of Sword Saint, because it was not just a title, but a fact.

Moreover, this madman's grasp of combat opportunities was also terrifyingly accurate. He could always find the most advantageous way for himself, as if he could see through the entire battle situation, making his opponents follow his train of thought.

"Old Shi, are you alright?"

The old man with Demonic Blood already dried on his arms asked in a deep voice, causing Shi Dong's face to twitch involuntarily. He had already been killed, leaving only a Nascent Soul. What did he mean by "are you alright?"

However, although his expression was a bit strange, Shi Dong still shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

"I can still fight. We can't hold back anymore. If we don't kill the Sword Saint, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave!"

The other seven Yuan Gate Division Heads' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, all of them hesitant. The gray-robed old man couldn't help but speak out.

"Old Shi, is it necessary? This kid's strength is only at this level. We can form a formation..."

"If we fail to complete the mission today and let the Dao Sect experts rescue the Sword Saint, can you bear the consequences?"

Seeing that these guys were all so afraid, Shi Dong's face couldn't help but darken. Hearing Shi Dong's warning, the gray-robed old man and the others' expressions changed.

In the next moment, Ying Huanhuan's pupils shrank instantly, watching Shi Dong and the other seven people and one Nascent Soul forming seals with their hands at the same time, her heart gradually sinking. After gritting her teeth, Ying Huanhuan raised her eyes and looked at the figure in front of her that made her feel extremely secure, and said softly.

"Lin Xuan, this is a method of mutual devouring and fusion used by the Otherworldly Demon race. You should leave first. I have my own way to escape!"

"Although those eight people are extremely strong, with the Sword in my hand, protecting you is enough!"

Lin Xuan's gaze was fixed on Shi Dong and the others in front of him. Within his body, streams of not weak Devouring Power were constantly drawing on the energy of heaven and earth. At the same time, Nirvana Fire was burning in his body, and wisps of deep red flames were constantly gushing out from his pores.

With the help of the Devouring Power and Nirvana Fire, the injuries in Lin Xuan's body were rapidly improving, and the Sword Intent within his body was constantly rising. In the meantime, even in the surrounding space, there were already long Swords formed by the gathering of Sword Qi, taking shape one by one.

At the same time, Shi Dong and the others on the opposite side suddenly stopped their hands, and an evil hand seal slowly formed on their hands. In the next moment, from the eight hand seals, beams of black light shot out, connecting Shi Dong and the other seven people together.

In the next instant, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, watching the eight gradually dissolving bodies, gradually turning into streams of black Demonic Qi. Then, the eight groups of black Demonic Qi approached each other, forming a larger mass of Otherworldly Demonic Qi.

The viscous, almost substantial fused Otherworldly Demonic Qi actually began to wriggle like flesh and blood at this time. Groups of Otherworldly Demonic Qi stretched out in all directions, and gradually, those groups of Otherworldly Demonic Qi formed hideous arms.

After a while, the viscous Otherworldly Demonic Qi transformed into a hideous and terrifying giant Demonic being with four arms, and the aura on its body reached the terrifying peak of the Death Profound Realm.

"Otherworldly Demon!"

Ying Huanhuan stared at the monster's body, her pupils shrinking slightly. Then, she looked at Lin Xuan with some worry. The Otherworldly Demon's six scarlet Demonic eyes swept over Ying Huanhuan before its gaze fell on Lin Xuan.

"Roar!!"

A cold, hoarse roar came from the Otherworldly Demon's mouth, but Lin Xuan's expression didn't change slightly. Only his deep eyes scanned the Otherworldly Demon. Ying Huanhuan wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but she vaguely saw a hint of a smile flash across Lin Xuan's lips.

Locking his gaze on the Otherworldly Demon exuding a terrifying aura, Lin Xuan turned his wrist. In the next moment, the long sword in his hand hummed softly, like the sound of a zither, echoing in the air.

"Buzz!"

Under the sound of the Sword Cry, the countless sharp swords that quietly condensed around also emitted Sword Cries. Instantly, countless long swords trembled continuously, and the Sword Cries intertwined in the air, composing a free and unrestrained Sword Cry song.

"Roar!"

The all-pervasive Sword Cries constantly drilled into the Otherworldly Demon's ears, causing the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in the six-eyed, four-armed, hideous Otherworldly Demon to surge continuously. Its ferocious face revealed a savage and bloodthirsty look due to the pain, and it let out unconscious roars from its mouth.

Lin Xuan held the long sword in front of him, raised the two fingers of his left hand, and gently placed them on the sword's body. As the Sword Finger slid upward, the aura in his body gradually climbed, and soon reached the peak of the Life Profound Realm.

"Buzz!"

Another Sword Cry like a dragon's roar sounded, causing the hideous Otherworldly Demon to roar, and its hands slapped wildly, trying to tear the unknown enemy hidden in the dark to shreds.

However, no matter how rampant the Otherworldly Demonic Qi was, the unknown enemy was still there. The Sword Cry mixed with the Qi of chaos constantly drilled into the Otherworldly Demon's body, making it even more difficult for the already confused Otherworldly Demon to control itself.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light passed by, and Lin Xuan's figure instantly appeared in front of the Otherworldly Demon. Then, on the frosty blade of the long sword in his hand, sharp Sword Qi burst out instantly.

"Shred!"

With one Sword, an arm flew out instantly. Under the severe pain, the Otherworldly Demon subconsciously slapped Lin Xuan with a claw, but Lin Xuan raised his Sword to block it.

"Clang!"

The sharp claw struck the sword's body, making a crisp sound, causing the Otherworldly Demon to roar in pain again.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he waved his long sword, and the sharp Sword Qi burst out again. Just as he wanted to cut towards the Otherworldly Demon's neck, the Otherworldly Demon seemed to sense the danger, and instinctively raised its claw to wave it. Lin Xuan turned the long sword in his hand and directly waved it towards the legs below.

"Swoosh!"

The Sword light flashed, and two hideous thighs were directly cut off. When the Otherworldly Demon raised its claws to slap again, Lin Xuan raised his Sword to block, and at the same time used this force to fly back, and at the same time put the three severed limbs into the Universe Bag.

"Roar!"

The severe pain made the Otherworldly Demon even more frantic, but the more frantic it was, the more difficult it was to remain calm. Facing Lin Xuan's Sword Cry, it would only lose control even more.

Not far away, Ying Huanhuan looked at the constantly flashing Sword light, and there was a bit of amazement in her eyes. She never thought that Lin Xuan would actually integrate the Sword Dao and the Zither Dao together, using the Sword body as a string and the Sword Cry as a zither sound. Dealing with this kind of monster with low intelligence was simply an easy massacre.

However, the vitality of the Otherworldly Demon was indeed amazing. Even Lin Xuan felt incredible. It took a full eight Swords to successfully kill the Otherworldly Demon. After seven Swords cut off the six limbs and shaved off the flesh, only a head remained, but it was still not dead. The eighth Sword completely split the head and annihilated its vitality before it was completely killed.

"Phew!"

After the secret technique ended, Lin Xuan also felt a sense of weakness in his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and after putting all the broken corpses of the Otherworldly Demon into the Universe Bag, Lin Xuan even collected Shi Dong's body. The cautious look made Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lin Xuan, were you particularly nervous about me just now?"

The hand holding Shi Dong's head didn't pay attention, and a Sword Qi emerged, directly splitting Shi Dong's head again, creating a crack. After taking it back, Lin Xuan looked at Ying Huanhuan, who seemed to be a little different, and frowned slightly.

In Lin Xuan's perception, the power in Ying Huanhuan's body had not yet recovered, but Ying Huanhuan gave him a different feeling.

However, after seeing the girl's expression as usual, Lin Xuan nodded slightly and replied.

"You can't have anything happen to you!"

"But, I'm seriously injured right now, what should I do?"

The girl blinked her big eyes, her pale face due to the injury revealing a hint of weakness and grievance, making her look even more pitiful. However, to Ying Huanhuan's annoyance, Lin Xuan actually explained to her in a serious manner.

"It's alright, the Yuan Gate shouldn't be sending any more experts. Even if they do, I can protect you."

As Lin Xuan spoke, he felt the continuous weakness coming from within his body due to the Extreme Realm Ascension. He didn't linger, grabbing Ying Huanhuan's arm with one hand and directly manipulating the power of space, taking Ying Huanhuan towards the Dao Sect, causing a burst of dissatisfaction from the girl.

"Ouch, Lin Xuan, you're hurting my arm."

"Ouch, you're making my shoulder uncomfortable!"

"Hmph, can't you just hold my hand?"

"It's the palm, not the wrist, forget it, whatever, hmph!"

Not long after setting off, Lin Xuan and Ying Huanhuan encountered Ying Xuanzi, who had personally rushed over. Seeing that Ying Huanhuan was unharmed, Ying Xuanzi, who had rushed over as soon as he received the news, couldn't help but relax.

However, soon, Ying Xuanzi's gaze fell on Ying Huanhuan and Lin Xuan's hands. Lin Xuan was about to explain when Ying Huanhuan quickly said.

"Father, let's go back to the sect first, Lin Xuan is injured and needs to go back to heal as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Ying Xuanzi didn't say anything more. However, watching Lin Xuan, urged by Ying Huanhuan, pulling Ying Huanhuan along the way, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, then he sighed softly and disappeared in place.

Yuan Gate, Ancestral Land.

"Boom!"

Three enormous auras instantly enveloped the Yuan Gate Ancestral Land, startling countless Yuan Gate disciples, their faces changing drastically. Soon, a disciple responsible for guarding the life tablets discovered in horror that the life tablets belonging to the eight Yuan Gate Division Heads had shattered simultaneously.

The eight Yuan Gate Division Heads were all experts at the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm. With the eight of them joining forces, who below the Death Profound Realm would dare to directly confront them? They were experts who had a great reputation even in the Eastern Xuan Region, yet they had all fallen together?

As soon as this news came out, the entire Yuan Gate was in an uproar.

In that dark space, the three Yuan Gate Sect Leaders had faces so gloomy that water could drip from them, because they knew the truth better than those Yuan Gate disciples.

"Bastard, eight Death Profound Realm experts, joining forces, couldn't even handle that little bastard who's only at the Life Profound Realm, truly useless, useless!"

Ren Yuanzi's angry roar echoed continuously in this dark space. Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi next to him didn't speak, but their faces were equally gloomy.

Even Tian Yuanzi, who had been mentally prepared, didn't expect that from the time the Otherworldly Demonic Qi erupted from Shi Dong and the others' bodies until now, not much time had passed, yet they had all died.

Although the time wasn't short, it was impossible for the Dao Sect's experts to arrive in time to support them in such a short time, not even Ying Xuanzi and Qian Laogui.

In other words, it was highly likely that Shi Dong and the other eight had all died under Lin Xuan's Sword, and they had all fallen together. Either he had killed all eight with one Sword at the same time, or he had used a secret technique to merge and still been killed by Lin Xuan.

And no matter which one it was, it meant that they needed to re-evaluate Lin Xuan's strength.

This was a monster, and a monster who was growing extremely fast. If they couldn't suppress and kill him this time, perhaps they would never have another chance to kill that monster.

Not only that, but even their Yuan Gate would be defeated by Lin Xuan.

"Alright, enough, since Shi Dong and the others have failed, then next time, after our injuries recover, we will personally take action again and definitely suppress and kill that little bastard!"

Tian Yuanzi said in a deep voice. More than anger, the most important thing for them now was to recover their strength. At the same time, they had to secretly plan carefully.

"The most important thing now is to guard against the Dao Sect. They must already know our news. At the same time, send people to secretly keep an eye on the other super sects to see if they have any unusual movements, to prevent them from secretly forming an alliance with the Dao Sect!"
