Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 97 The Lost Ancient Ruins

Ancient battlefield, the North.

The northwest region is mostly wasteland, however, the northeast region is completely different. Here, there are numerous peaks and mountains and lakes. If it weren't for the battles that broke out from time to time, there would be a sense of comfort.

On top of a green peak, Lin Xuan, dressed in white with flowing silver hair, held a wine jug in his hand. After taking a sip, he took a step and walked towards the large ancient ruins below.

In front of the ancient ruins, four teams were confronting each other. The energy fluctuations on those teams were all extraordinary. Not only were they all powerful warriors above the peak of the Creation Realm, but the leaders of the four teams were also powerful warriors in the Nirvana Realm who had survived a Nirvana calamity.

"Humph, Tiansen Dynasty, Tianluo Dynasty, Sun and Moon Dynasty, what? Do you want to join forces to rob our Tianyuan Dynasty?"

Among the four teams, the leader of the team from the advanced dynasty with the largest number of people raised his head slightly, with a bit of pride, and spoke in a slightly threatening tone.

Tianyuan Dynasty! As soon as these four words came out, it was obvious that the eyes of the strong men from the other three high-level dynasties all flashed with fear, especially when their eyes fell on the black and white sun logo on the chest of the clothes of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the fear became even stronger.

After hesitating for a while, the young man in the green robe at the front of the Tiansen Dynasty was still a little afraid of the power behind the Tianyuan Dynasty. He raised his hand and turned around and left with his team.

After the Tiansen Dynasty team left, the remaining strong men from the Tianluo Dynasty and the Riyue Dynasty looked at each other and not only did not choose to leave, they even had a tendency to join forces.

The young man who had spoken earlier with his nose in the air looked even darker when he saw this. He looked at the two powerful men in the One Yuan Nirvana Realm with a gloomy look and threatened in a cold voice.

"Do you really want to steal the treasures of my Tianyuan Dynasty? Humph, let me tell you, the treasures here are gifts that I intend to present to His Majesty Xiao Yuanjun. If you dare to steal them, you can try!"

Little Yuanjun Qin Tian!
The number one genius of the Yuan Dynasty, rumor has it, is the strongest contender for the championship of this Hundred Dynasties War. Before entering the ancient battlefield, he had already reached the Nirvana realm, and he had even survived several Nirvana disasters.

After hearing this title, the faces of the people from the remaining two dynasties changed instantly. They looked unwilling, but they also knew that Qin Tian was not someone they could afford to provoke.

But just when the troops of the two dynasties were about to retreat, they saw a young man in white clothes and silver hair coming towards them slowly.

The young man was extremely strange. There was no energy fluctuation on his body, but with every step he took, he moved a long distance forward. What surprised them even more was that their perception was completely absorbed and disappeared.

"Who are you? This place belongs to our Tianyuan Dynasty. Get out of here!"

The young man who had been arrogant before, when he saw Lin Xuan rushing towards the ruins, his face instantly darkened, and he shouted angrily without caring about Lin Xuan's background.

Anyway, no matter what Lin Xuan’s background is, it can’t be stronger than the background of the person behind him, and that’s enough!
The Great Yuan Dynasty, the number one dynasty in the East Xuan Territory, has won the championship of the Hundred Dynasties Competition for several consecutive sessions. It is also the number one force in the East Xuan Territory and the direct descendant of the Yuan Sect. Who else does he need to be afraid of?

However, what the arrogant young man did not expect was that Lin Xuan ignored him at all, but walked directly to the huge mottled stone statue left over from the ruins.

This inheritance of the ancient demon sect is an ancient mottled stone statue, three meters high. The ancient stone statue looks like a giant divine bird, but unlike a normal bird, the giant divine bird has only one foot to support its footing on the ground.

Standing in front of the ancient stone statue, a wild, ancient and vicissitudes of life aura came towards him, and as Lin Xuan approached, bursts of scorching breath continued to come, and there were even tiny flames surrounding Lin Xuan's body, as if to trap Lin Xuan there.

Those seemingly tiny flames contained extremely terrifying energy. Once they appeared, the strong men from the surrounding Tianyuan Dynasty and other three dynasties were all frightened away.

The man from the Tianyuan Dynasty who had spoken earlier laughed out loud when he saw Lin Xuan foolishly approaching the inheritance stone statue and being trapped in place by the divine fire.

"Heh, another fool who came out from nowhere. Do you really think that the inheritance of the ancient demon sect is so easy to obtain?"

As the man spoke, a special token appeared in his hand. It seemed to be made of bronze and was green in color. It looked like a crane about to spread its wings, but the crane only had one leg. It was very similar to the stone statue in front of him.

"Demon Sect?"

Lin Xuan did not pay attention to the elf-like flames around him, but looked up and stared at the two birds on the huge stone statue of the divine bird, as if it was not a stone statue, but a living creature.

But in fact, it was indeed a heritage stone statue that had long lost its breath of life, and even its spirituality had disappeared.

And in Lin Xuan's perception, the flames around him were indeed like little elves, emanating a sense of closeness.

Looking directly at the stone statue in front of him, a hint of emotion flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he shook his head slightly and sighed.

"The world is so ridiculous!"

The next moment, Lin Xuan did not make any movement. Instead, the countless tiny flames that originally surrounded him, as if to trap him in place, suddenly turned into streams of light and rushed into the sky as if they had received some kind of order.

Looking at the flames that seemed to be driven by someone, the strong men from the three dynasties all had a flash of shock in their eyes. They watched as the countless flames shot up into the sky, and then, in the air, they transformed into a huge one-legged green crane!

Looking at the divine blue bird circling above his head, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the arrogant man from the Tianyuan Dynasty, and he spoke quickly.

"Boy, pass on that secret technique to me and I will spare your life, quick!"

Originally, Lin Xuan had a faint smile on his face as he looked at the one-legged green crane above his head, but after hearing the words of that arrogant man, his face turned slightly cold and he spoke softly.

"Lin Xuan is not a bloodthirsty person, don't seek death!"

The recent practice has made Lin Xuan's originally cold heart gradually become more compassionate. I wonder if it was influenced by the four ancient sacred beasts.

You know, the four sacred beasts were willing to turn their bodies into blood moons after death to create living beings. They were truly benevolent beasts.

Therefore, in recent times, Lin Xuan has been speaking more frequently, but it seems that it has no effect.

At this moment, the arrogant man who was blinded by greed, perhaps because of his confidence in his own strength and background, could not help but snorted coldly and shouted angrily after hearing Lin Xuan's response. "You are looking for death. How dare you not hand it over? Then..."

"hold head high!!"

Before the arrogant man could finish his words, a clear crane cry suddenly sounded, interrupting him directly. Then, in front of the horrified eyes of the Tianyuan Dynasty team, the one-legged green bird opened its mouth and spewed out a green flame, which fell straight towards the area where they were.

Before the people from the Tianyuan Dynasty could react, the green flame instantly engulfed them. Only a few screams were heard. Then, the strong men from the remaining two dynasties, the Tianluo Dynasty and the Riyue Dynasty, saw that only a streak of ash was left on the ground.

"call out!"

After burning all the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty to death, the green flames returned to the sky and into the body of the green one-legged divine bird.

“Bifang! Bifang!!”

After the green flame was swallowed by the long white beak, the green divine bird flew in the air and chirped loudly. Then, perhaps because it was tired of flying or for other reasons, it finally folded its wings and landed on the hilt of the long sword held tightly in Lin Xuan's left hand.

Looking at the blue divine bird standing on one foot grasping the hilt of the sword, Lin Xuan couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the illusory wings with red markings. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, and he sighed softly.

"There is a bird that looks like a crane, with one foot, red markings, green body and a white beak. It is called Bifang. Its cry is its own. If it is seen, there will be a fire in the town."

This beast is a special kind of divine bird, Bifang, the divine bird in charge of disasters and fires in the world, and one of the divine birds under the command of the former sacred beast Suzaku.

It's a pity that after the death of the ancient mythical bird Bifang, its inheritance was obtained by someone and joined the Demon Sect, so that people forgot that Bifang was a mythical bird that controlled the rules of heaven and earth.

Not far away, the white-robed young man who was the leader of the Tianluo Dynasty heard Lin Xuan's murmurs, and while recalling the name that Lin Xuan had just said in his mind, the next moment, his pupils widened instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Are you a sword master?"

"Sword Saint? My name is Lin Xuan, not some Sword Saint!"

After hearing what the man said, Lin Xuan responded softly, then raised his hand and caught the green one-legged crane sculpture that fell into the ashes.

After holding the token in his hand, a special energy wave emerged from Lin Xuan's hand. Then, others saw that the blue divine bird called Bifang by Lin Xuan turned into a stream of light and poured into the blue crane statue.

After absorbing the green divine bird, the exquisite and small statue in Lin Xuan's hand actually became more lively, which even made people wonder that the next moment, the small divine bird would flap its wings and fly away.

At this time, the strong men from the Tianluo Dynasty and the Sun and Moon Dynasty had just recovered from their shock. Their faces suddenly changed, and they saluted to Lin Xuan with some trepidation.

"Greetings, Master Sword Saint!"

The name Sword Saint appeared in the Northland at some unknown time, but during this period of time, this name was extremely famous, because no one had ever seen him draw his sword. However, dozens of Nirvana Realm warriors had died at his hands.

They were Nirvana Realm experts, who were not the chosen ones of heaven? Even in the super dynasties, they were all top talents, but there were already dozens of them who died at the hands of the sword master in front of them.

Not only the strong men in Nirvana Realm, but all the dynasties that were hostile to it were basically wiped out like the Tianyuan Dynasty in front of it. Even if the geniuses of an entire dynasty joined forces, they could not withstand a single move of it.

In the eyes of many people, the Sword Saint is much stronger than Qin Tian, ​​who is known as the Little Yuanjun. There is even a saying that goes, "It is better to meet Yuanjun than to meet the God of Death!"
Sword Saint is a respectful title, but in private, more people like to call the Sword Saint the God of Death, because the man in front of them is a real killer without blinking an eye, no matter how many people he kills, it will not cause any emotional fluctuations in him.

"Master Sword Saint, we have no intention of offending your majesty. If there was anything inappropriate just now, we are willing to apologize and hope that Master Sword Saint will show leniency!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at those people, but he didn't say anything. He just put the green crane statue, which had a lot more charm in his hand, into the belt around his waist.

On its belt, many raised marks can be vaguely seen. Those are the inheritance marks of special ancient mythical beasts.

After leaving that unknown city, Lin Xuan began to intentionally search for the inheritance of those ancient mythical beasts, hoping to get some insight into the past of this ancient world.

After putting away another statue, Lin Xuan took out a wine jug, took a sip, and then walked away. As he took a step, he disappeared from the sight of the people from the Tianluo Dynasty and the Sun and Moon Dynasty.

After seeing Lin Xuan's iconic figure in white clothes and silver hair disappear, both teams breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and a feeling of surviving a disaster rose from the bottom of their hearts.

"boom!"

The sudden noise startled the two teams. They took out their magic treasures and looked towards the place where the noise came from. Then they found that the noise was caused by the collapse of the huge stone statue.

After realizing that it was a false alarm, the troops from the two dynasties no longer hesitated and led their teams directly in the opposite direction of Lin Xuan's departure.

Not long after the people from the two dynasties left, several streams of light rushed here. Looking at the collapsed and shattered stone statues on the ground, the old man in the linen robe focused his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this is the sixth ancient relic that has completely disappeared!"

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. It was the sixth ancient relic that disappeared. As for whether there are more, we don't know!"

The beautiful woman in willow skirt had a slight gleam in her eyes, with a strange light flickering in them. She glanced at the other people around her and quietly suppressed some thoughts.

"Looking like this, could it be that he is really going to uncover the heritage of the ancient ruins?"

A sturdy man said this in a silly voice, but the gleam in his eyes showed that he was not as stupid as he appeared.
