Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 145: One versus Eight, Across All Directions

"Om!!"

Ripples appeared in the space, and an ordinary three-foot-long sword slowly emerged in front of Ying Huanhuan, turning from virtual to real. The moment it completely appeared, a shocking sword intent swept across the surroundings.

"boom!"

Under the sword intent, the attacks of eight Half-step Profound Death Realm warriors were instantly dissipated, causing Shi Dong and others in the distance to shrink their pupils, grit their teeth, and utter two words coldly.

"Juggernaut!"

Immediately afterwards, a burst of extraordinary energy suddenly erupted from the Tianhuang Harp. Then, everyone saw a space crack being torn open, and Lin Xuan, dressed in white, slowly stepped out of it.

Reaching out and grasping the nameless long sword in his hand, Lin Xuan turned his wrist, pointing the long sword diagonally at the ground, staring coldly at Shi Dong and others in the distance, and spoke softly.

"Lin Xuan admires your courage and insight. I hope your strength can also broaden Lin Xuan's horizons!"

"Humph, you finally showed up!"

Director Shi snorted coldly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan. The next moment, his pupils shrank slightly.

“The Great Completion of Shengxuan Realm? Humph, even if you break through to the Great Completion of Shengxuan Realm, so what? You will still die!”

As soon as the voice fell, Director Shi directly mobilized the energy in his body and rushed straight towards Lin Xuan. The other seven people followed closely behind him and besieged Lin Xuan and others.

Lin Xuan, who was standing in front of Ying Huanhuan, turned his head slightly, looked at the blood-stained guqin, and closed his eyes gently. The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, his cold gaze was locked on Shi Dong and others.

"Qiang!!"

A sharp sword energy suddenly burst out from Lin Xuan's body. The next moment, Lin Xuan disappeared from the spot. When Mr. Shi saw the time when Lin Xuan disappeared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Suddenly, Director Shi's face changed, and he quickly slapped his palm above his head. Under that palm, the space shook, and a sword blade emerged out of thin air, directly splitting the powerful Yuanli. Director Shi was so scared that he quickly retreated.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan did not chase after them, but turned his wrist and swept his sword across to intercept the other people.

"Bastard!"

When the remaining seven leaders saw that Lin Xuan actually tried to stop the eight of them by himself, they couldn't help but curse angrily and raised their hands to slap Lin Xuan.

"boom!"

The sharp sword energy tore the violent Yuanli apart, and at the same time, the powerful force also fell on the long sword, forcing Lin Xuan to retreat.

Looking up at Mr. Shi and the others, Lin Xuan turned his wrist, released the force, and swung his sword again, causing the Dao Sect disciples behind him to widen their eyes.

It is true that the name of the Sword Saint is well-known throughout the Eastern Profound Region, but these Dao Sect disciples who have been guarding outside for many years have never seen the Sword Saint in action. After seeing him today, they found that he is indeed very powerful. A person who has reached the great perfection of the Life Profound Realm can actually face eight strong men who are half a step into the Death Profound Realm at the same time, and it seems that he is taking the initiative in the attack.

Seeing Lin Xuan being so arrogant, Mr. Shi and others did not hesitate to join forces against the enemy and began to besiege Lin Xuan.

"Shh!"

A flash of cold sword light passed by, forcing Shi Dong and another person to retreat. Then Lin Xuan turned his wrist and put the sword behind his back to block the attacks of the two people from behind.

With his eyes fixed, Lin Xuan loosened his right hand which was behind his back. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand, grasped the hilt of the sword with his backhand, and slashed it diagonally from the left side towards the top of his head. The powerful sword energy broke the palm prints of the two people on the left and above his head at the same time.

Then, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, Lin Xuan swung the sword to the right without hesitation.

"boom!"

The sword energy collided with the two giant palms that were attacking, causing violent and sharp energy fluctuations to erupt, causing Lin Dong and others in the distance to change their expressions suddenly. Such terrifying power was not a battle they could intervene in at all.

Director Shi looked at the powerful Lin Xuan and the murderous intent in his heart surged. Now, Lin Xuan had just broken through to the Great Success of Shengxuan Realm. With a casual sword, he could force him back half a step to the Sixuan Realm. If he broke through to the Sixuan Realm, then by then, who below the Zhuanlun Realm would be his opponent?

Today, this boy must die!

Shi Dong and others who were forced back by Lin Xuan looked at each other and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes. Then, the eight of them joined forces again and attacked Lin Xuan together.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Although there were enemies on all sides, Lin Xuan's attacks were not chaotic at all. The long sword flew between his left and right hands, and sword energy surged out, taking all the attacks.

Not far away, Ying Huanhuan and others were staring at the fight between Lin Xuan and others. After seeing that Lin Xuan was not at a disadvantage, Ying Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Lin Dong, you go first!”

Ying Huanhuan, holding the guqin in both hands, spoke in a deep voice, causing Lin Dong and the others to stare at him. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Dong nodded slightly. He also knew that a battle of this level was not something that someone like him, who was not even at the high-level Nirvana realm, could participate in.

At that moment, Lin Dong flew over and picked up the ancient tree, then ran towards Dao Sect. The other Dao Sect disciples gritted their teeth and followed Lin Dong to fly away.

Shi Dong and his companions who were fighting with Lin Xuan, when they saw Lin Dong, Xiao Diao and the others leave, their eyes narrowed slightly. Just as they were about to say something, Shi Dong's pupils shrank, and a sharp sword appeared silently in front of Shi Dong and went straight for Shi Dong.

Although there was no aura emanating from the sword blade, Mr. Shi could feel an extremely dangerous aura.

He suddenly raised his hands and aimed at the long sword in front of him. Then Shi Dong suddenly clasped his hands together, and violent energy burst out from his hands. It seemed that he wanted to restrain Lin Xuan's sword.

"boom!"

The violent force suddenly burst out, and the sharp sword energy became more condensed. Even Mr. Shi’s energy could not completely block it, and several sword marks were left on the palm of his hand.

However, Mr. Shi didn't care and put his hands together to restrain the sword in Lin Xuan's hand. The sharp and piercing sword energy suddenly burst out from the blade, piercing several bloody holes in Mr. Shi's hands. The bright red blood instantly dyed the sword blade red.

While Director Shi was restraining the sword, the other seven Yuanmen immediately seized the opportunity and attacked Lin Xuan together. The violent Yuan power continued to surge in the seven people's bodies, and they displayed powerful martial arts and slapped them towards Lin Xuan.

"Great Qian Yuan Palm!"

"Tianluo Demonic Hand!"...

This sudden crisis made Ying Huanhuan, who was far away, feel nervous. When she was about to use her strength to help Lin Xuan, she heard a cold snort.

"Humph!"

Glancing at Mr. Shi, Lin Xuan suddenly felt an extreme energy wave burst out from his right wrist. He twisted the hilt of the sword with force, and the amazing sword energy instantly gouged out large chunks of flesh from Mr. Shi's palm, leaving the finger bones clearly visible.

Director Shi felt pain in his palm and subconsciously loosened his hand. After feeling the cold sword energy from Lin Xuan, his pupils shrank involuntarily and he stepped back without saying a word.

After catching the hilt of the sword with his left hand, Lin Xuan's body's vast energy and mental power were unleashed together. In an instant, an astonishing sword energy swept across the entire mountain range.

"Across all directions!"

Lin Xuan waved his left hand, and seven sword shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, carrying sharp and domineering sword energy, and directly attacked the remaining seven Yuanmen leaders, smashing them one after another.

Lin Xuan turned his wrist, and the blood on the sword blade instantly spilled out. He looked coldly at Shi Dong in the distance, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and a sense of arrogance emanated from him.

"You hid very quickly!"

When Director Shi heard this, he didn't know why he felt a chill rising in his heart. His hands and feet gradually became cold, and the breath of death enveloped his heart.

The next moment, Director Shi's expression changed slightly. He looked at Lin Xuan who disappeared in an instant and quickly mobilized the energy in his body to repair the wound on his palm while keeping alert to his surroundings.

The remaining seven Yuanmen leaders were also alert and looking around, fearing that Lin Xuan would suddenly attack them. If they were hit by the Sword Saint's sword, they would be close to death.

Suddenly, a leader of the Yuan Sect frowned, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the violent Yuan Force suddenly vented towards a certain space. At the moment when the old man slapped out his palm, a sword emerged from the space without warning, and chopped down the old man on the head with a direct blow.

"boom!!"

Powerful force poured out at the moment the sword fell. The brewing sword force suddenly burst out and directly broke through the Yuanli defense. It seemed that it was about to fall on the head, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The leader of the Yuan Sect looked at the sharp sword that was falling on his head, his pupils shrank, and in horror, the energy in his body instinctively surged out, and the dark demonic energy instantly covered his arms, and he crossed his arms in front of him.

"clang!"

The long sword chopped on the pair of arm bones, and there was a crisp sound of metal clashing. Lin Xuan's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble. The next moment, he kicked the Yuanmen leader away and at the same time, with the help of the recoil force, he quickly retreated, forcing Shi Dong and others who wanted to besiege him to give up the attack.

However, after the leader of the Yuan Sect was exposed, Director Shi and the others no longer hid, and each of them emitted bursts of extraordinary demonic energy, and even their strength increased from the Half-Step Death Profound Realm to the Small Success of the Death Profound Realm.

Lin Xuan retreated to Ying Huanhuan's body. A cold light flashed in his dark and deep eyes. The sword energy lingering on the sword in his hand even distorted the space.

Ying Huanhuan, who was behind him, looked at the demonic aura on the eight leaders of Yuanmen and his expression became even colder.

……

Yuanmen, the ancestral temple, in that dark space.

Tianyuanzi, Diyuanzi and Renyuanzi were sitting cross-legged in space. Under their bodies, there were things like chains formed by rich demonic energy. One end was connected to Tianyuanzi and the other two, and the other end was connected to the depths of the earth.

Under this endless demonic energy, the injuries of Tian Yuanzi and the other two gradually stabilized and began to improve slowly.

"Shh!"

At a certain moment, Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi opened their eyes at the same time, and there was a flash of cold light in their eyes.

"The demons in Director Shi and the others' bodies have been activated!"

Di Yuanzi said in a deep voice that in order to prevent accidents, Tian Yuanzi and the other two could sense the status of all the demon seeds bestowed upon the disciples of the Yuan Sect. Just now, the demon seeds in the bodies of Shi Dong and the other eight were activated almost at the same time.

Yuan Zi, who was standing by, had a hint of resentment in his eyes and said in a cold voice.

"It should be a fight with that evil creature!"

Among the three, Ren Yuanzi was the most seriously injured. His soul was shattered in half by a palm strike from Old Ghost Qian. If he did not have a demonic body, with such injuries on his body, if he could not find the treasure, he would have been ready to die in a few decades.

Therefore, among the three, Ren Yuanzi had the strongest murderous intention towards Lin Xuan. In fact, this action was ordered by Ren Yuanzi himself, who ordered Shi Dong and others to go out together.

"He was forced to activate the demon seed in his body. It seems that the strength of that evil creature is improving very quickly!"

Tian Yuanzi said this with a hint of amazement in his tone, and this amazement further strengthened Tian Yuanzi's murderous intent.

The strength of Mr. Shi's eight men was boosted by the three of them. The eight of them joined forces but were unable to defeat Lin Xuan, which meant that the other party already had the strength to fight against a strong man in the Death Profound Realm.

But how long has it been? During the Hundred Dynasties War, Lin Xuan had just broken through to the Small Success of the Shengxuan Realm. Now, he can already fight against the strong men of the Sixuan Realm. Does that mean that after a while, when their injuries have healed, they will have the hope to really fight one of them with all their strength?

If that evildoer has some other means to draw the power of the ancient battlefield, I'm afraid...

"This time, Director Shi and the others attacked together. That evil creature should finally die!"

Di Yuanzi said in a cold voice that in the last battle of Baichao Mountain, the three great masters of their Yuan Sect directly became stepping stones for Lin Xuan, allowing him to step on the names of the three of them and become famous throughout the entire Dongxuan Region.

But after hearing Di Yuanzi's words, Tian Yuanzi shook his head slightly, with a bit of fear in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"Not necessarily. That evil creature is very tough, and they are in Dao Sect's territory. Director Shi and his team may not be able to kill him before Dao Sect's strong men arrive to support them. Instead, Director Shi and his team are forced to reveal their identities, which is a bit troublesome."

Even Tian Yuanzi had never thought that Shi Dong and the others would be defeated. After all, after activating the demon seeds, there were eight powerful men who had reached the minor success stage of the Death Profound Realm. With the combined efforts of the eight, coupled with their methods, ordinary powerful men who had reached the major success stage of the Death Profound Realm might not be able to survive.

"Rather than thinking about that evildoer, we should think about how to complete the task assigned by the adults and rescue those suppressed general-level and king-level alien demons. Also, we should think about the news of the adults of the Nine Kings Palace..."
