When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

Lin Xuan didn't go out because he still didn't know whether the other party had really discovered him or was just trying to trick him.

Seeing that Lin Xuan had not appeared, the two assassins sneered and said, "It seems that Young Master Lin does not want to come out."

"Then we'll... um?"

Before they finished speaking, the two suddenly looked up at the horizon.

A white horse galloped towards them, with a woman in white riding on its back, her sleeves fluttering in the wind.

It turned out to be Nalan Qinghan.

The two black-robed assassins calmly uncovered the bundles on their backs, revealing two halves of a zither.

The two men put the zithers together, pulled up the strings, assumed a horse stance, raised their right legs, and placed the zithers steadily on their right legs, as stable as a table, demonstrating their very solid lower body strength.

Faced with Nalan Qinghan's reckless charge, the two did not choose to dodge, but instead placed their hands on the strings on both sides of the zither and suddenly plucked the strings at Nalan Qinghan.

As the zither music began, an invisible blade of energy flew out, splitting Nalan Qinghan's white horse in two.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted quickly and pulled Nalan Qinghan off the horse in time.

Otherwise, she would have been neatly cut in two, just like that horse.

"what!"

Nalan Qinghan fell to the ground, turned her head to look at the white horse, but saw that the white horse was still in the running posture, but it seemed to be frozen in time.

Immediately, a blood-red line appeared in the center of the white horse's head, splitting the white horse in two. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, and even the internal organs were still throbbing.

This move was so fast that the internal organs didn't even have time to react before they were cut open.

Nalan Qinghan was shocked and stared at the two assassins in disbelief.

"A powerful expert at the Dao Enlightenment Realm," Lin Xuan said.

A powerful being at the Enlightenment Realm can release their soul power, but they need a medium to achieve their goal of killing.

The medium between the two was the zither in their hands.

For cultivators who have not reached the Enlightenment Realm, they cannot see the sharp blade formed from soul power; only cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm can see it.

Therefore, the Realm of Enlightenment is the first hurdle for cultivators, and also their first transformation.

"Hmm?" The two assassins were somewhat puzzled.

Why was Lin Xuan able to see their soul blades and still save Nalan Qinghan?

Could it be that he is also a cultivator at the Dao Enlightenment Realm, but has been hiding his strength all along?

In fact, Lin Xuan was not a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm, and he could not see the exact location of the Soul Blade.

However, he can use his rich combat experience to sense and predict the location of the Soul Blade and react accordingly.

In other words, Lin Xuan doesn't need eyes to fight them; he only needs to anticipate their moves.

"What kind of attack method is this? I've never heard of it before," Nalan Qinghan said in a panic.

She originally came to save Lin Xuan, but unexpectedly, she ended up getting herself involved as well.

Lin Xuan said, "It's just an attack method used by soul cultivators in the Hearing Dao Realm. Since you're not in the Hearing Dao Realm, you can't see their soul blades."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qinghan looked at Lin Xuan in surprise and asked, "Could it be that you can see it?"

"I can't see it either."

Lin Xuan slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and the Demon Spear appeared in his hand.

"Then run!" Nalan Qinghan said anxiously, "You'll die!"

Lin Xuan remained calm and slowly closed his eyes as the two assassins attacked him.

"Young Master Lin, may you have a safe journey ahead."

The two assassins sneered and suddenly plucked the strings of their instruments.

A piercing, clanging sound, like the clash of swords and axes, rang out as countless soul blades hurtled towards Lin Xuan, severing the vegetation along their path and leaving countless shocking trenches in the ground.

The wind was strong and fast.

Lin Xuan stood there calmly, without even opening his eyes.

"Lin Xuan!" Nalan Qinghan screamed, immediately covering her eyes.

The strong wind whipped Lin Xuan's hair, as if announcing his impending death.

However, just when everyone thought Lin Xuan was doomed, Lin Xuan suddenly tilted his head and stood there unharmed.

The trees behind him were neatly snapped in half, making a series of loud noises and kicking up clouds of dust.

"What?!"

The two assassins were terrified.

Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked coldly at the two assassins.

Nalan Qinghan slowly lowered her hand from her eyes, and when she saw that Lin Xuan was alright, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Lin Xuan, you...you're alright?" Nalan Qinghan asked in surprise.

Lin Xuan calmly said, "I said, I don't need to open my eyes when fighting them."

"Impossible! How could you, a mere Earth Profound Realm cultivator, possibly defeat someone at the Enlightenment Realm!"

Lin Xuan kicked the end of the spear, and the demonic spear rose up, pointing straight ahead.

"The Realm of Enlightenment is indeed a crucial juncture for Soul Cultivators, a transition from weakness to strength. But don't forget, Soul Cultivators have a fatal weakness: their physical strength and close-combat ability are far inferior to those of Martial Cultivators. This means..."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan's expression darkened.

"You're afraid of getting close."

Before he could finish speaking, the two assassins sensed the danger and suddenly plucked the strings of their zithers. Countless soul blades poured out towards Lin Xuan like a flood bursting its banks.

"Let's see how you hide!"

Nalan Qinghan screamed, "Lin Xuan! Watch out!"

Lin Xuan stepped on Nalan Qinghan's head, pressing her face to the ground, and said, "Lie still and don't look up!"

Having said that, he leaped up and unleashed his self-created Ziyin Spear Technique.

Lin Xuan trembled, and the demonic spear transformed into thousands upon thousands that appeared in mid-air.

Ziyin Spear Technique, Seventh Form: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.

In an instant, the tangible spear clashed with the intangible blade. In Nalan Qinghan's eyes, she could only see Lin Xuan wielding the demonic spear and hear the clanging sound in mid-air, but she could not see where the opponent's attack was coming from.

Lin Xuan landed and, relying on his keen senses and rich combat experience, instantly predicted the direction of the opponent's attack. He immediately caught one of the magic guns, and while holding the guns with both hands, he kicked the other guns into the air with a high kick.

The soul blades that shot from mid-air were blocked one by one by the flying demonic spears. Lin Xuan used both hands to wield the two demonic spears with great power, actually blocking all the invisible soul blades.

The two assassins played the piano faster and faster, the music becoming more and more urgent, like a silver bottle suddenly breaking and water gushing out, or iron cavalry charging out and swords and spears clashing.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan changed his posture, turned around and leaned back, thrusting the demonic spear firmly into the soil less than an inch away from Nalan Qinghan.

Nalan Qinghan screamed in fright.

Almost simultaneously, the gun hummed, a spark suddenly exploded, and the invisible soul blade was deflected by the gun. The residual force even cut off a few strands of Nalan Qinghan's hair.

Nalan Qinghan immediately covered her mouth, looking at Lin Xuan in disbelief.

Does he really not see? I feel like he might be able to.

However, to see the Soul Blade, one must reach the Realm of Hearing the Dao.

Lin Xuan cannot possibly be at the Dao Enlightenment Realm right now.

How did he manage to deflect the soul blade? Was it all due to his willpower?
