Inverse Sword Mad God

"You’ve taken the goods, so you should let us go. What if you run off afterward as well?"

"Kid, I think you’re just a little swindler!"

"Xue’er! Shut up!"

The white-haired old man snapped coldly. He had finally managed to invite the other party here; if his granddaughter angered him, he feared none of them would be able to escape.

The Green-clothed Woman was furious and wanted to say more.

But just then, the ground began to tremble violently. Cracks appeared beneath their feet and rapidly spread out in all directions.

Seeing this, the Green-clothed Woman could no longer care about speaking and instead let out a shriek.

The other dozen or so Martial Artists all wore terrified expressions, because they knew the Earth Demon was coming.

The white-haired old man was also shocked, but quickly spoke in a deep voice, "This isn’t the Earth Demon’s true body, but an avatar condensed by the Demon Energy on its body together with the rocks of the earth."

"We still have hope of escaping."

Upon hearing it was a Clone, these people did not dare relax, because even an avatar was incomparably powerful.

They would have to go all out just to deal with it.

Rumble, rumble!

The next moment, the earth indeed split open and a massive pit appeared.

Then, billowing Demon Energy and enormous rocks gathered together, forming a Demon Beast that bared its fangs and brandished its claws, roaring madly.

"Form the Array!"

"Attack with me!"

The white-haired old man let out an angry shout. At once, the Martial Artists behind him stepped onto profound Runes and began setting up a massive Array, preparing to join forces against the enemy.

At this moment, Lin Xuan simply raised his arm and waved his palm.

Instantly, countless streams of Ice Breath spread out rapidly, freezing the Demon Beast avatar in front of them in an instant.

Crack, crack, crack!

As the Cold Energy erupted, Cold Ice formed in all directions around them.

Snowflakes fluttered through the air. The white-haired old man, the Green-clothed Woman, and the dozen Kings all trembled.

They felt as if they themselves were about to be frozen.

The avatar in front of them was frozen solid in an instant, turned into a block of ice with no ability to resist.

Boom!

Then Lin Xuan flicked his finger.

At once, the massive block of ice in front shattered, turning into shards of ice scattered across the ground.

The Earth Demon’s avatar was slain in an instant.

What? How is that possible!

The Green-clothed Woman was dumbfounded, and the dozen Kings all froze.

They stared at this scene, unable to believe it.

That was an Earth Demon’s Clone! Its strength was incomparably terrifying. Even if all of them went all out, they might only barely fight it to a draw.

Yet now, this young man before them had casually waved his hand and easily taken down an Earth Demon’s avatar.

It was simply unbelievable!

The white-haired old man was also utterly shaken, but quickly grew excited.

Because he realized his guess was correct. This young man’s strength was terrifying beyond compare; he was most likely the Saint Heir of some Great Sect, or a peerless genius from an Ancient Family.

He knew that his group had managed to preserve their lives, and the Green-clothed Woman was likewise filled with lingering fear.

Only now did she understand why her grandfather had been so humble.

The young man before them possessed power far beyond their imagination. She hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Young master, I offended you earlier in many ways. I hope you will not hold it against me."

"It’s nothing. You can go. That Earth Demon behind you, I’ll block it for you."

With that, Lin Xuan waved his hand, bringing the Dark Red Divine Dragon and the Snow White Monkey with him. Then he turned into a streak of Sword Light and vanished from where he stood.

"Hehe, kid, this haul isn’t bad. Not only did you get a Wood Element Demon Core, you also learned the Earth Demon’s whereabouts." The Dark Red Divine Dragon laughed.

"Yeah, that Earth Demon is an Earth Attribute Demon Beast, and from the looks of it, it should be a Seven-star Demon King. If we can obtain its Blood Demon Soul, then the Demon-breaking Sword Formation can be unleashed."

"In the future, as we collect more and more Demon Souls, the Demon-breaking Sword Formation’s power will grow even more terrifying."

Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected to encounter an Earth Demon here; his luck was truly great.

That was one of the reasons he had acted to help those people.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

From deep within the forest came waves of furious roars. Clearly, they were emitted by the Earth Demon.

It had sensed its avatar being destroyed and was endlessly enraged. How could it possibly allow its chosen prey to escape?

Thus, it roared like a mad beast.

Not only that, it also sped up, using Earth Tunneling Technique to travel a thousand miles in an instant.

Roar!

Very soon, it sensed a human aura flying toward it from ahead.

This made it utterly furious.

Someone actually dared to blindly walk toward it? They were simply courting death!

The next moment, it struck without hesitation!

The merciless earth quaked, cracks spread out, and a giant hand of rock condensed in front of it, slamming rapidly toward the front.

This rock palm was incomparably huge, blotting out the sky and sun, thick with Demon Energy, displaying boundless power.

Boom!

In an instant, it covered Lin Xuan, about to come crashing down mercilessly.

Hmph!

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, and a surge of powerful Ice Breath erupted at once. Then a blue Heavenly Sword shot into the sky.

Peng, peng, peng!

The next moment, countless layers of frost formed over the giant hand that blotted out the sky, and its descent grew slower and slower.

In the end, it froze in midair.

Then the blue Sword Light flashed, cleaving the rock hand in two.

Boom!

At this moment, the ground split open and a colossal creature emerged onto the surface.

It resembled a giant lizard, its whole body covered in earth-gray Scales.

But it was not a lizard; it was an Earth Demon, its aura surging to the heavens, as if an Ancient Demon Beast had awakened.

"Human, come here and die!"

The Earth Demon let out a Bing Leng voice, not putting Lin Xuan in its eyes at all.

Hmph!

Lin Xuan didn’t bother with nonsense. This Earth Demon was precisely one of the Demon Beasts he needed, so he struck directly.

Sword Qi flickered over his body as the Dragon Sword Domain manifested directly in midair, sweeping out toward the front.

The terrifying Sword Light swept up to the heavens, piercing through the Void as it slashed straight downward.

"Heh, an ant dares to strike at me?"

"You’re seeking death!"

The Earth Demon sneered. It could naturally sense Lin Xuan’s Cultivation, only a Six-star King.

Someone like that was nothing but an ant before it.

He wouldn’t even be enough to wedge between its teeth, yet he dared attack.

So endless Demon Energy surged from its body. The surrounding earth split open, forming a gigantic Rock Giant that charged forward.

Rumble, rumble!

The Rock Giant grew larger and larger, towering a thousand zhang high as it collided with the Dragon Sword Domain.

A sound like Thunder Shock rang out at once.

Void Rifts appeared, vast swaths of forest collapsed, and the endless earth split open, leaving gashes one after another.

Lin Xuan remained calm. He controlled the Dragon Sword Domain to attack again.

At once, the Dragon Sword Domain changed. Countless Sword Qi condensed, then formed two Dragon Claws that grabbed toward the massive Rock Giant.

The two Dragon Claws were incomparably lifelike, as if a True Dragon had awakened.

Then they pierced through the Void, grabbing toward the Rock Giant.
