Lin Dong's shout jolted everyone to their senses. In the next instant, every figure in the Stone Hall bolted at once.
At their level, they dared not dream of joining a battle of such magnitude. They weren't even qualified to observe from nearby, just a stray shockwave could erase them from existence.
In a blink, the once-crowded Stone Hall stood empty. Even Ling Qingzhu did not remain.
Lin Xuan and Mu Shi paid the fleeing crowd no mind.
"Hum!"
The long sword hummed softly. As Lin Xuan's Sword Heart surged within him, the front half of the originally black blade transformed into the color of frost and snow.
"Ten years to forge a sword, its frosty edge yet untried!"
Lin Xuan slightly raised his eyes, slowly lifting his gaze from the frosty blade in his hand, looking at Mu Shi, whose aura was still rising, and said softly.
As Lin Xuan spoke, an aura of solitary arrogance, accompanied by the chilling sword Qi, swept out in all directions. His straight figure was like a solitary pine tree on a cliff, proudly standing tall, piercing the sky.
"Since Lin Xuan first took up the sword, more than ten years have passed. Of all I've faced, only you have forced me to draw my true blade. To test it on you, this is my honor. Come, enlighten me."
His calm voice echoed within the Stone Hall, causing Mu Shi's expression to change slightly. The destructive aura contained within that solitary arrogant figure made even him, a powerhouse of the Life and Death Profound Realm who had seen greater things, feel a pang of fear.
As soon as Lin Xuan's voice fell, an even more fierce aura completely sealed off the entire Stone Hall, causing Mu Shi's eyes to narrow.
In the next moment, Mu Shi's figure retreated violently. Just as Mu Shi's figure disappeared, a section of frosty blade cut through the air, piercing the afterimage.
After the sword missed, Lin Xuan also raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Shi, whose aura was still rising. Now, the other party's Soul Burning Secret Technique still had room for improvement.
At this time, more than half of Mu Shi's Nascent Soul had already been burned, and the aura on his body had completely reached the realm of the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm. However, Mu Shi did not stop there.
Although this strength seemed to be enough to deal with Lin Xuan, who was only at the One Yuan Nirvana Realm and a First Seal Heavenly Symbol Master, Mu Shi was not confident.
But then, Mu Shi's eyes narrowed, because he saw that Lin Xuan, who was standing opposite him, slowly closed his eyes.
In the next instant, a special fluctuation emanated from Lin Xuan's body, causing Mu Shi's expression to change slightly, and he retreated violently again.
"Sword One · Sky Piercer!"
Mu Shi, who had just stabilized his figure, didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowed instantly. He saw that Lin Xuan had disappeared from his original spot. In the next moment, that section of frosty blade directly appeared in front of him, instead of being dodged as Mu Shi had expected.
No time to think. Mu Shi broke off his technique and poured raw power into his palms, meeting the strike head-on.
"Boom!"
This time, the violent energy swept out in all directions without restraint. In the blink of an eye, countless cracks appeared on the entire Stone Hall.
"Clang!"
A sword cry rang out from the long sword. Lin Xuan, holding the Divine Sword, gracefully landed. Under the guidance of the Sword Heart, Origin Power was poured into the sword.
Then, Lin Xuan's figure disappeared from his original spot once again. In the next moment, after sensing something, Mu Shi hurriedly turned around.
"Whoosh!"
Just as he turned around, a dazzling sword light suddenly lit up, carrying an extremely fierce sword momentum, and slashed towards Mu Shi's Nascent Soul. Under that sword, the faint Qi of Death made Mu Shi even feel a burst of stinging pain in his Nascent Soul.
"Sword Two · Life Extinguisher!"
His pupils shrank instantly. Mu Shi didn't even have time to think about why Lin Xuan was able to grasp this trace of Qi of Death. The strong desire to survive had already made Mu Shi use the power he had gained from burning his Nascent Soul to slap towards Lin Xuan.
"Otherworldly Demon Soul Shattering Palm!"
"Bang!"
A sword, a palm, the terrifying power of which instantly collided together, and the violent and sharp energy ripples generated swept out towards the already shattered stone walls around like a destructive force.
Outside the Ancient Tomb Mansion, perhaps because of the Grim Reaper's urging, or perhaps because the Sword Saint's reputation made this group of adventurers rush out like madmen.
Before long, a large group of experts had gathered outside the Ancient Tomb Mansion. Many people stood on the treetops, gazing at the massive Ancient Tomb Mansion from afar.
Of course, there were also some daring individuals who directly watched the deepest bottom hall from the top of some buildings on the periphery of the Ancient Tomb Mansion, seemingly waiting for something.
At this moment, an extremely strong energy fluctuation came from the bottom hall in the deepest part. Then, under the gaze of countless people, that massive bottom hall actually shattered with a bang.
"Boom!"
As the bottom hall shattered, two streams of light, one black and one white, instantly soared into the sky!
"Clang!"
A crisp sword sound echoed between heaven and earth the moment the white stream of light ascended. Subsequently, it transformed into a white-robed figure standing in mid-air.
Under the blowing of the night wind, that white robe was already fluttering. In the white-robed youth's hand, he was actually holding an incomparably strange long sword.
The long sword was more than three feet long, and its style was no different from ordinary long swords. However, the long sword in the youth's hand was divided into black and white colors. The front half of the sword tip was frost-white, and there was a cold light flickering on the blade, revealing a bone-piercing chill. The rear half, where the hilt was located, was jet-black, without a blade, and carried a mysterious and unpredictable aura.
"Lin Xuan's strength is shallow, far beneath yours. So I can only greet you with the strongest sword I've ever learned."
"This sword was passed to me by a revered Sword Dao master, a generation of Sword Saint. Please… enlighten me."
Raising the sword upright, Lin Xuan's gaze turned solemn. Origin Power surged into the blade like a tide.
"Buzz!"
As the Origin Power was continuously injected, sword Qi constantly emerged around the Divine Sword, and the aura on Lin Xuan's body was also constantly rising.
The frost-white sword Qi continued to increase, also moving around Lin Xuan's body. Gradually, it actually formed a white divine dragon.
At the instant when the sword Qi divine dragon emerged, an extremely terrifying pressure swept across the entire heaven and earth. Everyone felt a huge sense of oppression falling on their shoulders.
