Immortal Road.

The mere clash of their spiritual swords was far more dangerous than the other three pairs of Nascent Soul cultivators combined!

Zhong Shenxiu felt the numbness coming from the air and couldn't believe it!
This sword was a magical treasure specially given to him by the leader of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect in order to recruit him. It also came with a sword technique that was comparable to the sect's magical power, demonstrating the meaning of spending a fortune to buy a horse bone.

However, when facing Lin Shan, he was able to cut him into pieces just by using his two wings transformed into sword wings.

"Spring and Autumn Swordsmanship, prosperity and decline!"

The patterns on the sword lit up, and in the blink of an eye, ripples appeared in the water, creating an illusion of lush leaves in spring, withered branches in autumn, and strong winds blew down from the sky, all acting out vividly in the water.

Lin Shan put his hands behind his back and looked at him with interest.

"Not bad, quite interesting. Is this the new sword technique you learned?"

He stood there motionless, relying only on his true energy to activate his Wind-Breaking Wings, transforming into two balls of sword light to fight with the opponent. This was because he had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and his cultivation was far greater than Zhong Shenxiu's. Coupled with the constant blessing of the quality of his true energy and the sea of ​​stars in his body, even Xia Wu was stronger than his opponent.

Zhong Shenxiu originally wanted to show off, but he had always been suppressed by his second brother and suffered repeated defeats. This time, he had the help of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect and had the sword techniques and magic treasures exclusive to the holy land, so he could teach Lin Shan a lesson!
Let him know the value of sword cultivation!
As a result, he discovered in despair that after so much time had passed, the gap had only widened. The opponent was even too lazy to make a move and was easily playing with him!

"No, that's not right. Second brother is a hypocrite who loves to cheat. Every time he beats me, he relies on conspiracy and trickery. He must be pretending this time too!"

"I don't believe that he has been hanging around outside for these years and can soar faster than me with the help of the Confucian Holy Land. He just picked up some treasures to show off."

"His pair of wings are also spiritual treasures. He must be using the sect's fifth-level swordsmanship. He has already used all his strength in secret. He is just pretending to be relaxed, but in fact he is already sweating profusely!"

He observed secretly, trying to find evidence that Lin Shan was struggling.

But I don’t know if Lin Shan was struggling or not, but he was already sweating profusely.

After learning dozens of sword moves, Lin Shan was able to figure out a lot of the Spring and Autumn Sword Art with his comprehension. Now, when he meets people from the holy land of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect in the future, he won't be completely in the dark. He can just treat it as a warm-up in advance.

The more the fight went on, the more frightened his good third brother became, and something seemed to be wrong, especially when he saw that Lin Shan had no idea at the beginning, but later he was able to slowly adjust his tactics and imitate him quite well!

Immediately shouted:

"No, you actually know swordsmanship, could it be that you have become a swordsman???"

Lin Shan hadn't seen his third brother for a long time, and felt very close to him, so he just teased him.

"Yes, how is my chaotic cloak swordsmanship? Can it still catch the eye of Third Brother?"

"Chaos Cloak Sword Technique?"

Zhong Shenxiu was a little confused, but soon realized that it was just a few random attacks!

Well, you dare to play tricks on me?

When he got mad, he didn't care about even his own people. He swung his sword vigorously, and the sword light danced and extended in all directions. The elders of the Bailu Academy who were fighting below were almost killed by him.

After learning from the masters for a while, Lin Shan felt that knowing some sword skills was better than having nothing at all, and integrating them into his own hands could really increase the power significantly.

The two men exchanged sword strikes, stirring up undercurrents in the water. The huge force of the water caused the two armies fighting below to stagger all over the place!
The more Zhong Shenxiu fought, the more frightened he became, and the less confident he became.

"Impossible! I have been practicing so hard for so long, but why am I still defeated by you? How can you beat me in sword fighting?"

"The only holy place in the world that can rival the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect is the Shangxiao Sword Sect."

"Could it be that you, you, you, you, actually defected to the Shangxiao Sword Sect?"

"Tell me, where did you get your sword skills?!"

Lin Shan was puzzled when he saw that his third brother had gone crazy. He hadn't seen him for several years, so why did he become crazy?

He didn't know that Zhong Shenxiu, a young man with good fortune, had suffered a lot over the years and finally achieved what he has today. It was like he was reborn!
A late Nascent Soul stage cultivator who is less than 300 years old is unique in the State of Lu.

His ambitions were as high as the sky, and he was favored by the leader of the holy land Spring and Autumn Sword Sect, who even taught him swordsmanship personally. How many people in the world could have such treatment?
I have been working hard all this time just so that I can meet my second brother next time so that I can act big in front of him and relieve the depression I have been feeling.

As a result, even after a complete transformation, I still can't beat you, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Who can stand this?

In Zhong Shenxiu's opinion, the only possibility for Lin Shan to surpass his growth rate is to find a more powerful holy land and learn more powerful swordsmanship!
Being able to defeat me in a sword fight alone, this guy must be a swordsman.

Shangxiao Sword Sect,

It must be the Shangxiao Sword Sect!

He knew that the Chunqiu Sword Sect and the Shangxiao Sword Sect had been competing for the title of the world's number one sword-cultivating holy land. He absolutely could not lose and must defeat him.

Even if other means are used, this situation must be turned around in front of everyone.

He immediately turned around and two gold-painted wolf-hair brushes fell from his sleeves. He casually drew a white mirage dragon swimming in the water, jumped onto the dragon's head, and disappeared into the river.

The sword lights around him turned from real to virtual, and he began to feel dizzy.

Then the bronze cauldron, the purple axe, and the scarlet mace were thrown out all at once, and they were distracted and multi-tasked, attacking from all sides!
Another four spiritual treasures!

Even Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh that this third brother was truly extremely lucky, a boy of many treasures.

It would be good enough for a normal cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage to have one spiritual treasure, but he has so many. Does he want to let others live?

However, compared to his fancy moves, Lin Shan had already passed that stage. He simply took out a coffin, weighed it, and then swung it up and smashed it over!

Several spiritual treasures suddenly lost control and flew backwards. The powerful and surging force was unparalleled. With Zhong Shenxiu's current true energy and spiritual consciousness, he could not control it at all.

The two sword wings circled and flew back to his back, transforming into a pair of wings that flapped in the water.

The whole person disappeared on the spot. If you squint your eyes, you can vaguely see a white line weaving around. With the Star-piercing Eyes in hand, Zhong Shenxiu's true body was found out, and then he was severely beaten!
"Ouch~"

"what!!"

"No, you are..."

"Spiritual body???"

The soul and physical body are the foundation of those with great supernatural powers. Even without using great supernatural powers or spells, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage cannot be their opponent.

Ren Zhong Shenxiu tried his best, but he was defeated by Lin Shan who smashed him with the coffin as a brick!

After several dangerous situations, he, who knew Lin Shan well, decided to escape decisively.

It is impossible that my second brother does not have other means. He is just warming up and teasing me now. What am I waiting for if I don’t take the opportunity to escape?

As he ran away first, the Nascent Soul stage elder below immediately abandoned his opponent and retreated.

Those disciples looked around and saw that the high-level monks were defeated and fled. How could they dare to stay here any longer? They scattered like monkeys when a tree falls.

For a while, the fight was going well, but suddenly the whole line collapsed, as if the sky was falling!
All the lights in Bailu Academy were instantly extinguished, allowing them to escape and avoid becoming targets.

The dark river went from being as bright as day to being pitch black. In the chaos, the only sounds that could be heard were the sound of water and faint shouts of killing.

Some ruthless people even turned off their protective aura in order to escape quietly!
The cold in the underground river was so intense that they endured it and swam in it to escape!

"Master Lin, Zhong Shenxiu just let him go like that?" Elder Huicong of Guigu Holy Land had been watching the battle from the back. Seeing Lin Shan easily defeat Zhong Shenxiu with just a wave of his hand, he couldn't help but be shocked at this man's strength.

But what puzzled him was that he did not do anything about Zhong Shenxiu's escape. Isn't this like letting a tiger return to the mountains?
"Haha, with Patriarch Luque leading the troops to attack on all fronts, we will be able to erode their territory sooner or later. Why rush for quick success?"

"That's true, but Zhong Shenxiu has great potential and is highly valued by the Chunqiu Sword Sect. He should not be underestimated!"

Lin Shan waved his hands, looking extremely disappointed.

"Third brother is just famous, so there is no need to worry about him. It seems that he has been slacking in his practice over the years. He is a useless person, so why should we care about him?"

If Zhong Shenxiu heard his second brother's comments, he would probably be so angry that he would go crazy on the spot!
I am slacking in my practice???
I'm really hardworking! You're the one who's too abnormal, okay?
Elder Huicong wanted to urge him to catch up, but the residual power from just now was still there, so he didn't dare to press him too hard and could only remind him softly.

"Master Lin, if we don't pursue them now with the momentum of victory, we're afraid that they will go back and reorganize their forces and come back again. What should we do about guerrilla warfare in the Dark River Layer?"

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, the complex water network under Leibo Lake is indeed the best place to fight.

When Lin Shan heard this, he thought it made some sense, so he called Mu Yan who was behind him.

"You should lead your men to hunt down Zhong Shenxiu immediately. Be careful of ambush and proceed with caution."

Mu Yan had been a bystander the whole time, looking sickly and listless, but when he heard that something new was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Order!"

He immediately led his troops to rush into the distance to chase and kill Zhong Shenxiu.

"Eh~No?"

Huicong saw that this was not right!

Mu Yan? Who is this guy? Why would he go after Zhong Shenxiu?

"Master Lin, isn't he being too arrogant?"

Lin Shan turned around with a smile and waved his hand behind his back.

"Don't worry, Mu Yan is still quite capable. It's a good opportunity for him to fight Zhong Shenxiu. Nothing will go wrong."

Elder Huicong stared blankly at the twinkling stars in the distance. There was an endless battle in the underground river. Elder Lu Que led his army in a roaring battle. Tens of thousands of protective spiritual lights were swimming forward in the water. The scene was so spectacular, but he was still a little worried.

He had just come up from the lower level and knew very well how critical the current situation was. He had to break the deadlock on the upper level as soon as possible.

The Guigu Holy Land also had several thousand men in the Dark River Layer. They were originally there to serve as military supervisors to collect troops, but he gathered them together and brought them to the front line.

Compared with the little profit from the micro-rock moss, he felt that there was no need to send someone specifically to monitor it. Elder Hui Miao had been narrow-minded before, so it would be better for him to come to the front line to add weight!
Since Sect Leader Xun Gu is unwilling to pursue personally, then Huicong will lead his men to pursue!

"Guigu disciples, listen up, follow me and attack Huanglong and capture Zhong Shenxiu!"

"Hoha~"

The army of Guigu Holy Land is very warlike, and those who can go to the Lingchao are all elite soldiers and generals. At this moment, they are rubbing their hands and disappearing into the darkness with Elder Huicong.

Lin Shan quietly watched the new military supervisor elder of the holy land lead his troops away.

The little fox girl was busying herself beside him, massaging his shoulders and legs, and asked curiously with her ears perked up:

"Sir, why did you let Zhong Shenxiu go?"

"He is my third brother. If I don't let him go, will I kill him?"

"Then what should we do if he comes to cause trouble for us in the future?"

"hehe."

Lin Shan smiled slightly.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​He's the one causing trouble, so I have to stay in the upper echelons to suppress him. What a perfect excuse to fish in troubled waters!

Raising a tiger will cause trouble. If you don’t raise a tiger, how can you cause trouble?

Jade shattered in the cold pond.

Grandmaster Manqie and Dong Chanzi led the team down and found the temporary base camp of Guigu Holy Land.

The lights here are dim and the silence is deep.

Not only is there a large formation of defense, with a sentry every five steps and a guard every ten steps, there are also countless restrictions in the water, all to prevent the leakage of intelligence.

Master Liang personally met with them, as well as the top leaders of the five major sects of Guigu Holy Land.

Under the scorching gazes of so many Nascent Soul cultivators, the two men seemed to be on fire. They could clearly sense the surging dissatisfaction and anger!

Regarding the incident where Elder Hui Miao was hung up and beaten by the Xun Gu Sect.

Except for the Bingzhen lineage, other lineages are actually more gloating over others' misfortune, but that is only within the group!
Once we face the outside world, we will inevitably be united in hatred of the enemy and suffer together.

Hitting someone is like hitting the face of the entire Guigu Holy Land!
Even if they are not right, sometimes they will just help their relatives instead of the right one. Which force is not like this?
What made them even more annoyed was that in the past, the Holy Land had always sent out supervisory envoys, which was equivalent to putting a collar on their own dog.

As a result, this time the Tian Gang was defeated, and the Xun Gu Sect actually sent people to monitor their Guigu Holy Land. The dog put a collar on its master! !

This is the true feeling of the top leaders of various factions in front of them. It is as disgusting as eating shit.

"Brother Liang, is this what you did?"

"That Xun Gu Sect Leader is also a talent. He even thought of sending people to monitor our holy land. This is truly a joke that has never been heard of since ancient times!"

"He doesn't really think that he is such a big shot that no one can rule the world and even the Holy Land can't do anything to him, right?"

"I think this guy is extremely bold and will definitely betray us in the future. We'd better get rid of him as soon as possible!"

"You all should keep your mouth shut. The envoy has already come down, but you are still being so rude in front of him. Aren't you afraid that the leader Xun Gu will come down personally to teach us a lesson?"

"Ahahahaha, he should come down quickly. I can't wait to beat him up!"

These people were unscrupulous and began to ridicule in front of the envoys.

Grandmaster Manyan and Master Dong Chanzi looked calm, not angered at all. They looked at their noses and their hearts, appearing mature and steady, as if they heard nothing.

After talking for a while, these people found that the two people did not respond, so they felt bored and stopped.

When Master Liang saw the noise around him getting quieter, he finally cleared his throat and looked around.

"Have you finished speaking?"

"Well, it's my turn next!"

"The battle in Yu Sui Han Tan is currently tense. Even with the alliance with Tai Xuan Holy Land, the situation is still declining. The only way to break the situation is to hope that the upper Xun Gu Sect can open up the situation and help us cut off the retreat of Hao Ran Holy Land and Chun Qiu Jian Men."

"You treat your allies like this, do you still want to win?" (End of this chapter)
