Standing to the side, Ling Qingzhu's eyes involuntarily narrowed at Lin Xuan's words.
Even she hadn't sensed any other presence within Lin Langtian, yet Lin Xuan had perceived it with ease. Just how terrifying was his perception?
Inside the Stone Hall, the expressions of those present shifted instantly. Wang Yan and Qin Shi turned to Lin Langtian, their faces filled with shock.
Neither of them had expected Lin Langtian to be hiding so deeply.
But in the very next moment, both Wang Yan and Qin Shi turned their gazes to Lin Xuan. Even someone like Lin Langtian, so thoroughly hidden, had been crippled by Lin Xuan in a single move. Just how unfathomable was this man?
Under the weight of everyone's stares, a phantom slowly flew out from Lin Langtian's body. Upon emerging, it cupped its fist politely toward Lin Xuan.
"Hehe, sir, you misunderstand. I bear no ill will toward the Lin Clan and never encouraged him. In fact, I tried to stop him from killing his clansmen for resources, he simply refused to listen. I had no choice!"
"Mu Shi! What are you afraid of him for? If you help me, I'll agree to any condition you want! You've always wanted my body, haven't you? Help me kill him, and it's yours!"
Lin Langtian, collapsed on the ground, glared at Lin Xuan with bloodshot eyes full of savagery
However, Lin Xuan didn't even glance at Lin Langtian. He simply glanced at Wu Tao, who immediately stepped forward and dragged Lin Langtian, whose Origin Power had fallen to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, back, and then conveniently gagged him.
Lin Dong glanced at Lin Langtian, being dragged off like a dead dog, his expression slightly complicated. Who could have imagined that the once proud and aloof Lin Langtian would fall so far?
Little Flame, not knowing whether it was because he hated Lin Langtian or wanted to vent his anger for Lin Dong, even kicked Lin Langtian hard, knocking him unconscious.
Mu Shi, who was left in place, watched Lin Langtian gradually move away from him, his expression gradually changing from awkward to solemn, because a Qi dynamic had locked onto him, preventing him from making any rash movements.
"Do you have any last words?"
A cold voice slowly came from Lin Xuan's mouth. Mu Shi was about to explain when Lin Xuan directly blocked him with a sword.
"Clang!"
The moment the longsword was drawn, a beam of sword light went straight for Mu Shi!
The profound sword body and the sharp sword Qi made Mu Shi feel as if his Nascent Soul was about to be torn apart.
Looking at the rapidly approaching longsword, Mu Shi, relying on his stronger realm, predicted the direction of the sword in advance and retreated before the longsword arrived.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light brushed past Mu Shi's face. Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged. However, his eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, he turned his wrist, paused the longsword, and then slashed horizontally.
Seeing this, Mu Shi had no choice but to forcibly use his Nascent Soul power to increase his speed and retreat, dodging this sword.
Although one sword missed, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, just swinging his sword at Mu Shi one sword at a time.
The sword, in Lin Xuan's hand, seemed to have a life of its own, one sword after another, a continuous stream of attacks, forcing Mu Shi to constantly consume his Nascent Soul power to dodge.
Although, with the power of the Nascent Soul, Mu Shi was able to dodge, the Nascent Soul power was not comparable to spiritual power, nor was it like Origin Power, which could be recovered with a simple cultivation after use.
Once the Nascent Soul power was consumed too much, his final outcome would either be being killed by Lin Xuan's sword or dying from the exhaustion of his Nascent Soul power.
He couldn't continue to be consumed like this, otherwise, there would only be a dead end!
Mu Shi thought to himself, his eyes filled with a surging light, taking in all the sword shadows in Lin Xuan's hand.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light flashed again, but this time, Mu Shi did not continue to dodge, but condensed his Nascent Soul power, and then slammed his palm towards Lin Xuan!
"Boom!"
Before the violent fluctuations could spread, they were blocked by an invisible mental force.
Lin Xuan gracefully landed on the ground. His simple white clothes exuded an otherworldly, aloof aura. He looked at Mu Shi with a calm gaze.
Lin Dong, standing beside him, felt the violent aura from just now, and his face was filled with shock. That aura, even just a residual wave, would have seriously injured him.
"Little Marten, what's the strength of that mysterious Nascent Soul? How is it so terrifying?"
"Before he died, he was a little weaker than yours truly. But now, with soul-burning techniques, he's punching far beyond his level. He probably has the strength of a Three Yuan Nirvana Realm expert now. Still, Lin Xuan's got him suppressed. Tsk, this guy's a monster."
Little Marten clicked his tongue at Lin Xuan's performance.
"He's only passed the first Nirvana Tribulation, the Wind and Thunder Tribulation, yet he can block Nascent Soul-level attacks directly. That Nascent Soul isn't in peak condition, but with that secret technique, he's still comparable to a top-tier Nirvana cultivator. And yet… he's getting wrecked. What a pity. If I could devour that Nascent Soul, I'd recover enough to crush a Creation Realm expert."
At the end, Little Marten's tone couldn't help but reveal a bit of regret. If he could swallow it in one gulp, his Demon Spirit could recover a lot. At least, dealing with some Creation Realm expert would be a piece of cake.
Lin Dong was stunned. A Three Yuan Nirvana Realm expert, being beaten by someone who had just stepped into Nirvana?
As the battle dragged on, Mu Shi's face turned increasingly savage. A ruthless light flickered in his eyes.
"Boy, you forced me to do this!"
"Otherworldly Demon Mirror, Demon Soul Burning! Hahaha! Die for me!"
With a flurry of seals, a ghostly, cold flame ignited over Mu Shi's Nascent Soul. As it burned, his aura climbed rapidly.
"Damn it! That lunatic actually burned most of his Nascent Soul! He's at the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm now! Lin Dong, kid. RUN!"
Little Marten's voice turned sharp with alarm.
Without any hesitation, Lin Dong immediately shouted at Lin Ke'er and the others beside him.
"Run!"
