Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 162 The Demon King Hiding in Linyuan Peak

Looking at Lin Xuan's expression, Ling Qingzhu realized that something was wrong. She seemed to have misunderstood something just now.

Grabbing Ling Qingzhu's wrist with one hand, Lin Xuan's brows couldn't help but sank. As soon as he started, Lin Xuan could sense a feeling of weakness coming from Ling Qingzhu's soul.

However, what puzzled Lin Xuan was why Ling Qingzhu didn't notice anything at all? With Ling Qingzhu's strength and talent, she shouldn't have been unaware of her abnormality.

What's more, what made Lin Xuan even more surprised was that the special aura he sensed in Ling Qingzhu's body was not the strong evil aura in Linyuan Peak. Although they were somewhat similar, their essences were completely different.

The Yin Sha Qi is mainly cold and gloomy. The biggest characteristic of the Yin Sha Qi is that it is just like Lin Qingtan's physique, which is not only extremely cold and gloomy, but also has an aggressive nature.

But the power that Lin Xuan felt from Ling Qingzhu's body was not cold, but more feminine, and it also revealed a special sense of heaviness.

"Have you been in seclusion here lately?"

Lin Xuan turned his head and stared at Ling Qingzhu and asked, his brows were deeply furrowed as he spoke, "The abnormality in Ling Qingzhu's body definitely did not happen in a day or two. It must have been accumulated for a long time to create the current situation."

Before this, when he was outside Linyuan Peak, Lin Xuan had noticed some abnormalities in Linyuan Peak. He suspected that the abnormality in Ling Qingzhu's soul was related to the secret in Linyuan Peak.

As for what the secret is, Lin Xuan has no idea. The only clue is Ling Qingzhu in front of him. He just doesn't know whether she has noticed anything.

Ying Huanhuan first glanced at Lin Xuan suspiciously, and then stared at Ling Qingzhu. Just now, she was only paying attention to Lin Xuan's movements, and only at this moment did she vaguely discover that there seemed to be something wrong with Ling Qingzhu.

Suddenly, Ying Huanhuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a strange color flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a look of doubt, and she asked Ling Qingzhu softly.

"Sister Ling, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

In response to Lin Xuan and Ying Huanhuan's questions, Ling Qingzhu first nodded, then shook her head and replied with some doubt.

"Qingzhu has indeed been in seclusion at Linyuan Peak recently. Since I entered the realm of the Supreme Power, the soul-eating cold wind here has had little effect on me. Junior Sister Ying asked this. Did you discover something?"

Although Ling Qingzhu didn't know what caused Lin Xuan to react like this, Lin Xuan was able to perceive something that she had not noticed. Ling Qingzhu was not surprised, because this was the man who could beat her every time.

But why was Ying Huanhuan also able to perceive it? This is worth pondering.

The thought that had just been extinguished once again surfaced in Ling Qingzhu's mind. According to some information Ling Qingzhu had learned recently, the only person who could compare her perception with Lin Xuan was her senior sister.

Even Lin Xuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ying Huanhuan. Although there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he was still calm.

When Ying Huanhuan was asked by Ling Qingzhu, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She was secretly annoyed in her heart that she had forgotten to hide it. She must not let this wooden man find out.

Just when Ying Huanhuan was thinking about how to explain, she heard Lin Xuan taking the initiative to explain.

"Miss Ling, the weakness in your body is already extremely obvious. Could it be that you haven't noticed it?"

To Lin Xuan, it was indeed extremely obvious. He could feel the feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside without even having to examine it carefully.

"Qingzhu didn't feel anything."

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but frown. She really didn't notice anything unusual in her body and didn't feel anything at all.

"So, how do you feel about your current condition, Senior Sister?"

Ying Huanhuan asked, looking at Ling Qingzhu in front of her, a strange feeling flashed through her heart, as if she and Ling Qingzhu had a fateful connection.

"Qingzhu feels that he is in very good condition and his strength has improved a lot."

Hearing Ling Qingzhu's answer, Ying Huanhuan's eyes flashed with understanding, but all of this was hidden in that look of doubt and confusion.

However, after listening to it, Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly. The next moment, he raised his right hand instantly, and then, before Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan could react, he slapped Ling Qingzhu on the chest.

"puff!"

With one palm strike, the defenseless Ling Qingzhu was instantly seriously injured. As her delicate body flew backwards, a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of her mouth.

"Oh!"

Ling Qingzhu fell on the dark rocky road, raised her head, and looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief as he suddenly changed his expression and attacked.

Ying Huanhuan, who was behind Lin Xuan, actually noticed the moment Lin Xuan raised his hand. A hint of approval flashed in her eyes, but she did not stop him.

On the contrary, it was after Ling Qingzhu was injured and fell to the ground that Ying Huanhuan finally realized it belatedly and exclaimed, shaking off Lin Xuan's big hand that was holding her, and exclaimed.

"Lin Xuan, what are you doing?"

While speaking, Ying Huanhuan flashed to the side of Ling Qingzhu, stretched out her hand to help up Ling Qingzhu, who was seriously injured by a palm and had lost his fighting ability.

Lin Xuan's expression remained very calm from beginning to end. He did not show any strange expression because of the sneak attack on Ling Qingzhu that caused serious injuries, or because of Huanhuan's reproach.

Even after seriously injuring Ling Qingzhu, Lin Xuan turned his head and looked elsewhere, ignoring Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan.

After scanning the eight stone roads, Lin Xuan's eyes wandered and he spoke softly.

"Since you have already taken action, why do you need to continue hiding?"

Ling Qingzhu, who originally had a somewhat cold expression on her face, had a flash of suspicion in her eyes after hearing Lin Xuan's words. Ying Huanhuan, who was supporting Ling Qingzhu, also exclaimed in shock.

"Is there anyone else here? Is it a demon?"

While speaking, Ying Huanhuan's expression changed at the right time, which instantly reduced the coldness in Ling Qingzhu's eyes, and even brought a bit of self-blame. Ling Qingzhu was not stupid, and she naturally understood by now that she must have been deceived by the demon without knowing it.

"Hehehe, you have such a keen sense, you can even detect this."

A burst of sinister laughter echoed in the ears of Lin Xuan and the other two. Then, the water surface above the cold pool on the ground began to surge, as if something was trying to emerge from under the pool.

As the water in the cold pond continued to surge, waves of cold air began to rage in the cave, causing Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan to shiver.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly and snorted from his nose. The power of the Vermillion Bird in his body rushed out and overflowed from his body, surrounding the stone path under his feet. Red walls of fire rose up and confined all the cold air to the surface of the cold pond.

At this time, a special thing came out from the cold pond. Ying Huanhuan looked up, and the next moment, her pupils, which were flashing with ice-blue light, shrank slightly.

Ling Qingzhu's brows sank, and she looked strangely at the piece of pitch-black wooden board rising from the cold pond. The "wooden board" was more than 13 feet high and about five feet wide. There seemed to be a thin crack at the top and on the left and right sides, away from the edge. Looking closely, it was clearly a door, not a wooden board.

And as the pitch-black door of unknown material appeared, a special pressure fell on Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan.

Ying Huanhuan just took a glance and then retracted her gaze. She naturally recognized that thing, and even the guy inside it, she also knew it. However, Ying Huanhuan did not expect that the thing was so tough and had not died yet.

Therefore, in order not to be recognized by her 'old friend', Ying Huanhuan had to lower her presence as much as possible. Anyway, with Lin Xuan in front of her, Ying Huanhuan was absolutely confident in the charm of the man she liked.

However, this time, the charm seemed to have lost its effect.

"I never thought that I would meet an old acquaintance just after I was born. Haha, Ice Lord, long time no see!"

Although the voice coming from inside the door carried a hint of laughter, the murderous intent in that laughter was extremely obvious.

After hearing the voice, Ling Qingzhu's pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Ying Huanhuan, but happened to meet Ying Huanhuan's shocked eyes.

"Senior Sister Ling, you..."

Ying Huanhuan looked at Ling Qingzhu in disbelief, her bright eyes widened at this moment, as if she had not expected that the senior sister she knew would be the famous Ice Lord.

At that moment, Ling Qingzhu was a little confused, but soon, Ling Qingzhu reacted and realized that maybe it was her junior sister Ying... No, her junior sister, seemed to have not awakened from the reincarnation yet.

Lin Xuan was not surprised by the sound coming from the door, but the murderous intent in his heart became stronger. He could sense Ying Huanhuan's identity and even tell others, but he could never let others take the initiative to sense Ying Huanhuan's identity, especially the demon!
The Ice Lord is the hope of this world, nothing must happen to her.

A long sword appeared in his hand, and a powerful sword intent was already contained within the long sword. At the same time, Lin Xuan's eyes were fixed on the dark door, and he said in a cold voice.

"I wonder which demon king you are. You are able to erode the Heaven and Earth Gate, which ranks seventh on the Ancient Divine Objects List. I believe you must have been a famous figure in ancient times, right?"

"Tsk tsk, boy, you have a sharp eye. You can actually recognize the Heaven and Earth Gate."

The gaze from inside the dark door swept over Ying Huanhuan before falling on Lin Xuan again, and said with a chuckle.

"I am known as the Phantom Demon King. I am not very famous. I was just defeated by the Ice Lord back then."

As he spoke, a gaze came from the dark door again and scanned Ying Huanhuan, seeming a little confused.

"Your Excellency is too modest. He is known as the number one among all the kings. Even Lin Xuan is familiar with the name of the Phantom Demon King."

Although he said so, Lin Xuan's eyes still maintained that calmness. He was able to make Ling Qingzhu, who had already mastered the Supreme Power, fall into his trap because of carelessness. Among the demon clan, only the Demon King who was good at illusion could do that.

"Illusion Demon King?"

Ying Huanhuan muttered to herself, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had heard it before but couldn't remember it, which instantly dispelled the doubts in the Phantom Demon King's mind.

The next moment, a dark demonic energy gushed out from the dark door, and then transformed into an elegant man in a green robe. His warm eyes always made people subconsciously feel a little close to him.

After the green-robed man, the Phantom Demon King, appeared, there seemed to be some regret in his eyes when he looked at Ying Huanhuan.

"It seems that Lord Ice has forgotten about his defeated general. Also, the Phantom Demon King is just a king-level general. It is not worth Lord Ice to remember him."

However, Lin Xuan was able to sense the strange demonic energy surging from the body of the Phantom Demon King, as well as a special energy.

Ling Qingzhu took a deep look at Ying Huanhuan. Her intuition told her that Ying Huanhuan must know the Phantom Demon King in front of her. Eyes are hard to deceive. Although there was a flash of confusion in Ying Huanhuan's eyes just now, her peripheral vision was looking at Lin Xuan, and she was obviously paying attention to Lin Xuan's reaction.

If you are really trying to recall something you can't remember, your eyes should be scattered and not focused on an irrelevant person.

Therefore, the truth is most likely that the person who was truly attracted to that guy who had no sympathy for women was her simple and silly senior sister, not Ying Huanhuan.

Thinking of this, Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Xuan. Looking at that profile that was as cold and sharp as ice, a hint of curiosity flashed through her heart.

What good is there about this stinky man? He has a bad temper and is cold, and he doesn't know how to control his strength. Although Ling Qingzhu knows that he wants to temporarily disable her fighting power to prevent her from being controlled by the Phantom Demon King, this guy is too cruel, isn't he? Not only did he temporarily disable her fighting power, but he also made her body ache and her meridians seemed to be broken.

Although Lin Xuan is extremely talented, why should her proud senior sister be so cautious and lower herself to actively pursue him?
Is this what is called love? Isn't that too humble?

Under the gazes of Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu, Lin Xuan stared closely at the Phantom Demon King in front of him, then suddenly chuckled and spoke out.

"Your Excellency wants to leave this place?"

Upon hearing this, the Phantom Demon King looked at Lin Xuan in confusion, not knowing what the other party was up to. As for what Lin Xuan said, that was simply nonsense. If he didn't want to leave this damn place, would he have to go to so much trouble to erode the gate of the Heaven and Earth Gate?
"It just so happens that Lin Xuan also wants to kill you. How about Lin Xuan make a bet with you?"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he even raised the sword in his hand, inserted the sword and the scabbard into the ground, and spoke to the Phantom Demon King.
