Chapter 108 - 108 107

108: Chapter 107 108: Chapter 107 The black-clothed martial artist sprinted swiftly, transforming into a streak of residual light in the air. Whoosh-whoosh! In the blink of an eye, he was before Lin Xuan, the dagger in his hand brandishing rapidly. However, before he could strike, the tenfold gravity engulfed him, and unable to reach him, the black-clothed figure was suddenly pressed to the ground. “Hmph!” Lin Xuan quickly followed up with a kick, crushing the man’s head into the mud, blood gushing profusely upwards. “What?” The black-clothed men in the distance were all stunned, their faces filled with shock. They didn’t know what had happened, only seeing their companion rush forward rapidly, then lay prostrate on the ground as if waiting to be tormented. “Damn, this is really weird!” cursed a black-clothed martial artist, “Could this kid be using evil techniques?” For a moment, the four black-clothed martial artists didn’t dare to act rashly. “You, go and try!” An eighth-stage martial artist was pushed to the front. The black-clothed martial artist walked forward with a mournful expression, cautiously circulating his spiritual power to its maximum, cloaking himself in a thick protective layer, and then charging forward. Bang! The moment he came close, he too felt the enormous pressure. Even though he had initiated his defense, he was still slammed to the ground by the force. Consequently, Lin Xuan’s sword intent flashed, and his sword pierced through the black-clothed martial artist. Hiss— The remaining three black-clothed martial artists inhaled sharply. Now they saw it clearly; anyone who approached within three yards of Lin Xuan would be subject to an inexplicable attack. “Long-range attacks!” The three black-clothed martial artists reached a unanimous decision. “Kid, even if it’s a war of attrition, we will wear you down to death!” sneered the leading black-clothed martial artist. Lin Xuan stood immobile, remaining in his spot. He ventured, “Were you sent by Ling Ze?” “Mmm, even if we tell you, what does it matter! You’re not escaping today anyway!” The three black-clothed martial artists cautiously moved forward, constantly slashing through the air with sword light and sword qi, followed by a sky full of palm shadows, pouring their vast energy towards Lin Xuan. “Damn, you really think I’m easy to bully!” Lin Xuan exerted all his strength, hurling the longsword behind him. Boom! The area of ten times gravity suddenly fell, instantly crushing the black-clothed men, bending their bodies. “How, how is it possible, he has been under such gravity this whole time!” the color drained from the black-clothed men’s faces. “Too terrifying, this kind of gravity, it’s simply not something humans can endure!” The three black-clothed men struggled to escape outward. But, Lin Xuan wouldn’t give them the chance. The instant he threw the Red Flame Greatsword, a stream of sword light split from his fingertips, dazzling and splendid, with a chilling intent to kill. Pfft! The sword qi was like a rainbow, surging through the air, instantly splitting that eighth-rank martial artist into two. “No!” The remaining two black men bellowed, their eyes filled with angry light, staring hatefully at Lin Xuan while churning their spiritual power, fleeing outward. Hum! Hum! Hum! “If you wish to kill, then be ready to be killed!” Lin Xuan swung his arm, the sword qi soaring into the heavens, transforming into a luminous spectacle, slicing towards the two. Bang! The yards-long sword qi struck the black-clothed men, piercing through their protective defenses, and the overwhelming tenfold gravity surged up, threatening to devour them. “One day, I will set foot on Ling Family ground myself and kill Ling Ze!” Lin Xuan’s hair fluttered, the sword qi crisscrossing beside him. “Just because you want to oppose the Ling Family, you’re too naive! My Ling Family is a major family in Yunzhou!” “Is that so?” Lin Xuan’s mouth curled upward, his Sword Intent soaring into the sky, the powerful Sword Intent sweeping in all directions, sending chills down everyone’s spine. The two black-clothed Martial Artists trembled all over, seemingly unable to withstand such willpower, their entire bodies stiffened in place. “Sword Intent, this is Sword Intent!” “Damn it, how does he possess such a thing!” The two roared in frenzy. “It seems you haven’t entered Beiwei City, what a pity!” Lin Xuan’s eyes gleamed like lightning as he swung out two streams of Sword Qi, piercing the two men through. Under the pressure of ten times gravity and facing the terrifying Sword Intent, the two had no chance to gather their strength to dodge and collapsed powerlessly. “My Sword Intent is becoming more and more adept.” Lin Xuan felt the sharp aura around him, his heart brimming with confidence. Drawing the Red Flame Greatsword, Lin Xuan struggled to hoist it onto his back, then silently walked toward the distance… Half a month later, in front of a silver waterfall. A figure sat cross-legged below the waterfall, his strong muscles glinting in the water with a crystalline shine, as if imbued with power. “Truly, the Body Strengthening and Marrow Cleansing Wine is effective!” “This is just the low-level stuff, I have plenty of Spiritual Wine here!” Another voice echoed out of thin air, sounding very ethereal. This figure was Lin Xuan, who since the day he dealt with the Wanling Family’s Martial Artist, had been cultivating under ten times gravity. Later, Lord of Wine refined a type of Spiritual Wine that was particularly effective in strengthening the body. Lin Xuan consumed it daily, not only enhancing his muscles but also fortifying the meridians, internal organs, and other vital parts. His body now, even when compared to Martial Artists specialized in Body Refinement, was superior by a margin. “Considering the time, it’s almost time to go back.” Lin Xuan leapt out of the water, donned a black long robe, swiftly strapped the Red Flame Greatsword on his back, and dashed off toward the distance. Three days later, he returned to the Xuantian Sect. Putting away the Red Flame Greatsword, Lin Xuan walked in. Freed from the confinement of ten times gravity, he felt as light as Piao Piao, as if he did not exist. With a slight exertion, Lin Xuan tapped his foot against the ground, his body shooting forward like a bolt of lightning, reaching an extreme speed. Whoosh! A streak of lightning flashed past, stirring up gusts of wind. The surrounding Disciples did not even notice Lin Xuan’s figure, looking around in confusion. Moments later, Lin Xuan arrived at the Herb Hall, completed his task, and received his reward. Along the way, he overheard many Disciples eagerly discussing a certain trial ground, their expressions filled with excitement. Out of curiosity, Lin Xuan inquired and found out that the trial ground they were talking about was a Secret Realm in Yunzhou, akin to an independent small space, filled with various rare herbs and Weapons and Cultivation Techniques, a veritable paradise. “Is it really that good?” Lin Xuan wondered. Those Disciples explained to him, “As good as the items might be, it’s also extremely dangerous inside. Not only are there powerful Demon Beasts, but there are also Mechanical Arrays, and one must also be wary of other Sect Disciples’ attacks.” One could say that danger and opportunity coexisted. “So it is.” With understanding, Lin Xuan continued to ask, “What are the requirements for participating in this trial?” That Disciple looked at Lin Xuan with surprise and then replied, “Each sect has a limited number of slots, probably requiring at least the strength of a Core Disciple.” “Core Disciple?” Lin Xuan smiled faintly. He had been planning to challenge a Core Disciple, and it seemed now that he would need to accelerate his plans. From the Disciples’ discussion, the Blood-colored Trial would take place in a month. “First, to challenge the Trial Tower!” Lin Xuan decided, his figure turning into an afterimage as he sprinted toward the Trial Tower. In fact, not just Lin Xuan, but other Disciples within the Xuantian Sect were also preparing meticulously; many were about to challenge the Core Disciples, vying for a spot in the trial. And on this day, a piece of news exploded within the Inner Sect of the Xuantian Sect.
