Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 172 Serious Injury
As soon as they arrived here, Bo Xuan followed with a strong man in the Samsara Realm. If this wasn't secretly following them, what else could it be?
Moreover, the Dark Ancestral Talisman has always been known for being mysterious and difficult to detect.

However, what Tian Yuanzi and the other two did not expect was that Bo Xuan was so well prepared. Not only did he follow them secretly, he even secretly dispatched a powerful Samsara Realm master to follow Bo Xuan from a distance.

If not for this, even if the white-haired old man was a powerful warrior in the Samsara Realm, Tian Yuanzi and the other two would not have been able to fail to notice anything unusual. The only possibility was that the old immortal Bo Xuan had already planned it out long ago.

Bo Xuan looked at the angry and furious expressions of Tian Yuanzi and the other two, and couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face. He liked the look on the faces of these demon brats who wanted to kill him but were helpless against him.

What Tian Yuanzi and others thought was not wrong. After Bo Xuan went to Beixuan Territory and made all the arrangements, he has been secretly paying attention to Yuanmen's actions. Yuanmen does not dare to act recklessly now, so except for some important places where Bo Xuan dared not go deep, Bo Xuan hid in other places at will.

With the Dark Ancestral Talisman in his possession and the support of two powerful Samsara Realm masters outside, Bo Xuan was naturally bold in his actions. It was this boldness that made Lin Xuan rush into the trap set by the Demon Prison without any scruples, because he believed in Bo Xuan.

Bo Xuan naturally did not let down this trust. He did not dare to follow the clone of the Seven Kings Palace, just as the other party did not dare to follow him, for fear of being discovered by the other party. But with the three masters of Yuanmen as the basis, Bo Xuan had no pressure at all.

Bo Xuan even specially left behind a supreme elder of the Samsara Realm, asking him to continue to keep an eye on Yuanmen and pay attention to the movements of Yuanmen and even the East Xuan Territory, to guard against the old sinister guy in the Seven Kings Palace from causing trouble.

At the same time, in order to ensure his own safety and the safety of Lin Xuan and others, Bo Xuan also specially brought another supreme elder to follow behind him. The purpose of doing this was naturally because Bo Xuan now only had the Dark Ancestral Talisman on him, and the Dark Holy Scythe was no longer with him.

After returning from Beixuan Territory, Bo Xuan handed over the Holy Dark Scythe, along with the sickle spirit, to Lin Dong, and specifically told Lin Dong that he intended to pass the Holy Dark Scythe to Lin Qingtan first, so that Lin Dong could supervise Yan's work while not practicing.

"Three of you, I am honored to meet you!"

The gray-haired Grand Elder of the Dark Temple spoke softly, but the expression on his face was very cold and seemed a little unfamiliar.

On the other hand, Bo Xuan on the side still had that seemingly friendly smile on his face. He introduced the three great masters of Yuanmen with a smile, as if he was sincerely and enthusiastically inviting the three great masters of Yuanmen.

"This is my master's uncle. How about it? Do I think highly of you three? In order to treat you three to a drink, I specially invited all the uncles from the Northern Xuan Region to come here!"

However, when these words fell into the ears of Tian Yuanzi and the others, Tian Yuanzi and the other two looked extremely ugly. Ren Yuanzi's face was even more gloomy, as if he would explode at the next moment.

Tian Yuanzi held Ren Yuanzi down with one hand, while looking at Bo Xuan and the white-haired old man with a serious expression.

If there was only Bo Xuan, Tian Yuanzi was confident that the three of them would have no problem suppressing the opponent. Although Bo Xuan had the Dark Ancestral Talisman, the three of them were not without trump cards either.

But now, the appearance of another powerful person in the Reincarnation Realm has directly put Tian Yuanzi and the other two into a disadvantage. Today, let alone using the master of Hongya Cave to get rid of Lin Xuan, even for them, it would be impossible to leave this place safely without paying some price.

What worries Tian Yuanzi even more is that after the plan fails, the Seven Kings Palace will be angry...

Now, Tian Yuanzi no longer had the same idea as before. He even hoped that Lin Xuan was not as strong as he expected. It would be best if he was killed directly by the master of Hongya Cave. As long as Lin Xuan died, they would not have any trouble.

However, Tian Yuanzi was not a god, so how could everything go as he wished? He had gotten his wish once before, so naturally he was disappointed this time.

On the snowy field, the wind was freezing cold, and the blood on the torn wounds had frozen before it could flow out.

The cold wind howled wildly over the ice field, causing Lin Xuan's eyes to narrow slightly. He stared at the monster in front of him. At this time, the Lord of Hongya Cave had countless ice-blue sword marks on his body. They were the result of the power of ice and snow condensing at the wounds.

The densely packed wounds seemed horrifying, but to the master of Hongya Cave who had transformed into a demon, they were nothing. At least, compared to the horrific wound on the chest that cut off one side of the waist, a little bit of ice and snow power entering the body did not have much impact.

The master of Hongya Cave was seriously injured, and Lin Xuan's condition was even worse. His white robe was completely torn to pieces, and there were several shocking claw marks on his chest, deep enough to see the bones. There was even a dark demonic aura attached to it.

But there was no trace of pain on Lin Xuan's face. He just stared coldly at the master of Hongya Cave in front of him, and tightened his hand holding the sword slightly.

The master of Hongya Cave looked down at the wound on his waist. A hint of doubt flashed across his scarlet eyes. He seemed to be unable to understand how he, who was so invincible, could have been injured so badly.

Then, he stretched out his ferocious bony arm and gently touched the wound. The next moment, the Lord of Hongya Cave's face twitched in pain, and in his scarlet devil eyes, there was a flash of madness, cruelty and bloodthirsty expression.

"Roar!"

The master of Hongya Cave growled, then pulled hard with his palm, and it seemed that some internal organs that were cut off by the sword were pulled out directly from the wound.

With his right hand, he threw the internal organs that were almost cut into two pieces towards Lin Xuan. After Lin Xuan dodged it by turning his head, the Lord of Hongya Cave, with demonic energy surging in his body, suddenly rushed towards Lin Xuan.

A demonic shadow kept flashing in the air, approaching Lin Xuan at an extremely fast and strange speed. Seeing this, Lin Xuan did not retreat, but his face became calmer.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes focused, his wrist turned, and he raised the sword in his hand, holding it horizontally in front of him. Then, a huge devil's claw appeared in front of him, carrying powerful force, and grabbed the sword blade.

"Ding!!"

It was like a devil's claw made of gold and iron. The moment it grabbed the sword blade, sparks flew up and were reflected in the pair of calm eyes.

One claw was blocked, and the master of Hongya Cave swung another claw from the flank. Lin Xuan's eyes focused, and with a turn of his wrist, the long sword directly shook off the devil's claw. Then he swung the long sword, which drew an arc in the air and accurately hit the devil's claw.

"clang!"

After the devil's claws and the sword's edge intersected, the force that erupted separated the two sides instantly. The master of Hongya Cave was shocked and took two steps back. However, Lin Xuan twisted his body, unloaded the force, turned around, and suddenly sent out the long sword in his hand, stabbing straight at the master of Hongya Cave.

The master of Hongya Cave instinctively sensed a dangerous aura, and his claws instantly stretched out, while he subconsciously grasped the blade of a long sword in his palm.

"Sizzle!" Amidst a series of sparks, the sword blade finally stopped less than three inches in front of the master of Hongya Cave.

Lin Xuan was not disappointed. This opponent was even stronger than him. How could he be defeated so easily? However, he had already completed most of his mission. The temperature in the snowy plain was dropping rapidly, and even the wind and snow had stopped.

It can be seen that the Ice Ancestral Talisman has already had an owner. Now, what Lin Xuan needs to do is to prevent the monster in front of him from having the energy to track Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu.

His eyes focused instantly, and the power in his body suddenly burst out. Lin Xuan turned his wrist, and powerful force was released directly from the blade, breaking free from the devil's claws.

With a swing of the sword, Lin Xuan left another sword mark on the body of the Lord of Hongya Cave, and at the same time, he also pushed the Lord of Hongya Cave back.

Lin Xuan retreated to the back, holding the sword in his hand upright in front of him. The ice and snow power that was constantly dissipating from the surroundings quickly gathered towards the sword. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of crystal clear and magnificent ice crystals had formed on the ice-blue sword!
"Ice Soul Sword Technique, Thousands of Miles of Ice!"

The long sword was swung out instantly, condensing the power of ice and snow on it, turning into an ice-blue sword energy, flying out from the blade and suddenly attacking the master of Hongya Cave.

"Roar!!"

Feeling the sword energy that made the devil's heart palpitate, the master of Hongya Cave couldn't help but let out a breathtaking devil's howl, and the devil energy in his body continued to gather on his arms.

As the demonic energy continued to gather, the hideous barbs on the pair of demonic arms that were originally pointing backwards suddenly stood up and grew a lot longer. In addition, many strange silver patterns appeared on the arms, which looked evil and weird.

Facing the fierce sword energy, the master of Hongya Cave did not dodge or evade. Instead, his pair of strange demonic arms that had undergone tremendous changes reflected a dazzling cold light in the sunlight. He grabbed towards the sword energy fiercely, and it seemed that he wanted to tear the sword energy into pieces directly.

On the ice field, the Ice Soul Sword Qi that shone with an ice-blue light finally collided with the pair of devil arms. In the simple mind of the Hongya Cave Master, the sword Qi's tearing did not happen as expected. Instead, he was frozen directly at the moment of contact.

The moment the sword was swung, Lin Xuan's figure disappeared from the spot, following the sword energy, and chased after the master of Hongya Cave.

The moment the Ice Soul Sword Qi froze the Lord of Hongya Cave, Lin Xuan had already arrived in front of the frozen Lord of Hongya Cave. The power of ice and snow condensed on the long sword in his hand again, and he was about to chop it down towards the Lord of Hongya Cave.

"Ice Soul Sword Technique, Snow is as clear as the sky!"

When the long sword was swung down, the crisp cold air had already caused the owner of Hongya Cave, who had turned into an ice sculpture, to show signs of breaking into pieces. It seemed that this sword would turn the entire ice sculpture into flying snow and dissipate between heaven and earth.

But just as the sword fell, the ice crystals on the body of the master of Hongya Cave suddenly shattered into pieces, and the pair of scarlet eyes suddenly stared at Lin Xuan, and suddenly met Lin Xuan's pair of calm, yet extremely firm deep eyes.

The next moment, Lin Xuan swung the sword in his hand down without hesitation. At the same time, the master of Hongya Cave immediately stretched out his claws to grab forward.

"Ding!"

"laugh!"

The sound of the sword cutting into bones and the sound of the claws cutting into flesh sounded almost simultaneously.

In the air, Lin Xuan did not hesitate at all. Even though he knew that he would be seriously injured by the Lord of Hongya Cave, he did not hesitate at all. He chopped down the Lord of Hongya Cave on the head with his sword. The long sword instantly split the Lord of Hongya Cave's skull in half, and the blade was stuck on the spine and stopped moving.

The sharp claws of the master of Hongya Cave also pierced Lin Xuan's chest directly, and broken bones could be vaguely seen at the ribs.

"Haha! Die!"

A sinister demonic sound came out of the cracked mouth of the Lord of Hongya Cave. As a demon, as long as the demon heart was still there, his life would not be in great danger. It was just a split head, which was not a fatal injury.

The severe pain from his chest did not make Lin Xuan lose his mind. He ignored the smug smile of the Hongya Cave Master and slapped the Hongya Cave Master's chest with his left hand. In an instant, the broken ice crystals shattered, and the figures of Lin Xuan and the Hongya Cave Master were separated again.

"Cough cough!!"

Lin Xuan fell to the ground and knelt on one knee, holding the long sword in one hand. He suddenly coughed out two mouthfuls of dark blood, which spilled on the melting ice field and slowly solidified by the ice and snow.

Without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lin Xuan slowly stood up with his sword in hand and looked towards the master of Hongya Cave opposite him.

It can be seen that the master of Hongya Cave at this time looked much more miserable than him. Not only was his head split open, but there was not a single healthy place on his body. On his chest, there was an empty space, with only a few ribs left to protect the beating demon heart.

The hideous barbs on the pair of demonic arms were all shattered along with the ice crystals and separated from the arms. Even three of the ten fingers were missing.

However, even though he looked extremely miserable, the aura coming from the Lord of Hongya Cave did not decrease much. At least, it was much stronger than Lin Xuan, whose aura was weak. The originally confrontational aura had completely turned into a one-sided overwhelming momentum of the Lord of Hongya Cave.

“Hahahaha, Sword Saint, you will eventually die in my hands, hahahaha!!”

Strange laughter kept coming from the leaky mouth of the Hongya Cave master. At this moment, the Hongya Cave master, who had completely gained the upper hand, seemed to have completely regarded Lin Xuan as a prey and wanted to play with him in order to avenge his head being chopped off.

"is it?"

But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the sky. The master of Hongya Cave turned his head and saw two streams of light quickly coming from the sky, carrying an aura that made the demons disgusted and frightened.
