CHAPTER 901: CHAPTER 899: FOURTH-LEVEL VENERABLE, DEAD!

Xiao Li’s pupils contracted sharply, struggling to resist, but his defense was like paper, unable to withstand a blow.

The green Sword Shadow descended, slicing through the purple light screen in an instant, and then heavily striking Xiao Li.

Bang!

Xiao Li flew backward, half of his body’s bones shattered. Fortunately, he had the defense of the Purple Martial Soul; otherwise, this sword would have split him in two.

In the distance, Dongfang Fenghuang and others stared dumbfounded at this scene, unable to believe it. Not long ago, Xiao Li was arrogant and superior, but now he was like a dead dog, beaten by Lin Xuan.

This contrast was too great!

Xiao Li was also stunned, his whole person dazed. As the City Lord of Black Water City, a dignified Fourth-level expert, he was actually defeated?

Fear flashed in his eyes; until now, he was finally afraid because the opponent possessed the power to kill him.

Previously, he was arrogant because he could crush Lin Xuan and others, but now the situation was reversed, and his arrogance and conceit were gone.

"Stop! No more fighting, spare me."

Xiao Li panted continuously, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don’t want your Half Earth-grade Treasure anymore, nor the Crystal Skull. I’ll let you go, and we can reconcile, how about that?"

"Reconcile?" Lin Xuan sneered, "First, the Half Earth-grade Treasure and the Crystal Skull are mine, you have no right to say no."

"Second, reconcile? Impossible! When you hurt Bing Ling and the others earlier, why didn’t you think about reconciling?"

"Now that you can’t win, you come running to me for reconciliation. Do you think that’s possible?"

"Then what do you want, what compensation do you want, just say it!"

"Compensation? I’ve said it before, bullying my companions means you must pay with your life!"

"Kid, don’t take things too far!"

Hearing this, Xiao Li became furious again, like a crazed lion: "Do you know who I am? Dare to kill me, even if you are a disciple of the Immortal Martial Academy, it will be hard to escape death!"

"Threatening me? No matter who you are, you must die today!"

Lin Xuan didn’t want to say more, gripping the Great Dragon Sword Soul, he walked forward step by step.

"I will fight you to the end!" Xiao Li’s face was full of madness, and the next moment, he burned the Spiritual Power within his body, forming a purple flame on the surface of his whole body.

And his aura increased instantly.

"Kid, go to hell!"

To save his life, he wouldn’t hesitate to burn Spiritual Power, a method that could temporarily increase one’s strength, but the side effects were extremely severe, likely he wouldn’t recover within half a year.

The purple flame mixed with violent Spiritual Power rushed fiercely towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, took a deep breath, grasped the green Sword Shadow with both hands, and performed the Great Dragon Sword Soul to the fullest.

Then, he swung his sword.

The sky showed no abnormalities, yet a Sword Shadow swiftly swept across, turning into the form of an Azure Dragon, snarling ferociously as it pounced forward.

Afterward, the terrifying sound rang out, blinding light illuminated the entire sky, dreadful energy spread like waves in all directions.

Everything it touched turned to ashes.

"Bad, retreat quickly!"

Dongfang Fenghuang and others, originally hiding in a safe place, were greatly alarmed when they saw the incoming Sword Wave Energy, and they quickly retreated backward.

They retreated several hundred feet before stabilizing themselves, then their faces filled with urgency as they looked forward.

At the front, sword qi soared, thunder reverberated, an apocalyptic scene lasting a long time, until the terrifying sight gradually disappeared.

The land was scarred, filled with cracks cut by sword qi, stretching for kilometers.

The forest and mountains nearby had vanished, becoming flat ground.

"Lin Xuan!"

Dongfang Fenghuang and others exclaimed, rushing forward quickly.

Soon after, they saw a figure standing there.

The person standing was Lin Xuan, while not far from him, Xiao Li lay on the ground, a transparent blood hole in his chest, dead beyond recovery.

Seeing the corpse, Dongfang Fenghuang and others shivered and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Fourth-level Venerable Xiao Li, was actually dead!

Lin Xuan, this guy, actually killed a Fourth Heavenly Realm Venerable!

The four gasped, then looked at Lin Xuan with complicated expressions.

Lin Xuan put away the green Sword Shadow, then staggered slightly, struggling to stand firm.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Dongfang Fenghuang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Bing Ling and others also saw Lin Xuan’s pale face, their eyes full of worry: "Your face is so pale, are you injured?"

"Not injured, just exhausted." Lin Xuan said weakly.

Indeed, his Spiritual Power inside was nearly dry, all his muscles were aching, his whole body seemed to be on the point of breaking apart.

Summoning the Great Dragon Sword Soul, though strong and unbeatable, came with a significant price, just like now, Lin Xuan was extremely weak.

"Exhausted?"

After hearing this, Dongfang Fenghuang and others were relieved. Being not injured was good.

They also knew Lin Xuan’s combat power earlier was astonishing, probably triggered by some secret technique, and now was suffering the aftermath of using the secret technique.

"Anyway, we are safe now." Yang Lin sat on the ground, completely relaxed.

Indeed, the previous battle was too tense, and each of them was severely wounded.

Initially thinking against the Fourth-level Venerable, they were doomed, yet Lin Xuan resolved everything.

This feeling of surviving a calamity was wonderful!

"Alright, let’s not linger here, quickly leave. If people from Black Water City come, it will be very bad." Bing Ling said worriedly.

After hearing this, everyone nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Lin Xuan summoned the Golden Feathered Divine Eagle, preparing to depart, but just as they climbed onto its back, a mocking voice suddenly sounded.

"Worthy of the Immortal Martial Academy’s Heavenly Pride, remarkable indeed, capable of killing a Fourth-level Venerable."

Upon hearing this, everyone froze, eyes filled with shock.

Lin Xuan frowned deeply, quickly probing with Soul Power.

"Who’s there? Come out!"

He shouted sternly, realizing the situation was very unfavorable; aside from Dongfang Fenghuang, the remaining four of them were all injured.

Moreover, Lin Xuan was extremely weak now, with very little combat power. If targeted now, the situation would be dangerous.

Bing Ling and others also understood this situation, carefully scanning in all directions.

"No need to look, I’m here."

The mocking voice sounded again, and then the void fluctuated, a figure appeared in front of them.

It was a young man, tall with a mocking smile on his face.

He wore a purple long robe, and on his chest, an ’Yan’ character was drawn.

Upon seeing the young man, Bing Ling and the four were tense, secretly channeling Spiritual Power, while Lin Xuan’s pupils contracted sharply, a bad feeling emerged.
