Chapter 863 - 858: Double Horns 2

Chapter 863: Chapter 858: Double Horns 2

"Damn Golden Lotus Cult!" The captain of the guards cursed loudly, holding a knife in both hands, striding towards Lin Xin.

The large group of dual-horned people behind him were all nervously watching this side, and some alert guards quickly drew their weapons and gathered around.

"The boss has activated the Dragon Spirit! The Dragon Spirit of the Dragon Bone Realm is indeed extraordinary!"

"Kill him! Kill him!! Hahaha! Go boss!"

"Seven Extremes Three Slashes! Let’s see one of those!"

The guards laughed and shouted.

The captain charged in quickly, gripping his knife with both hands, aiming a diagonal slash at Lin Xin’s chest.

Buzz!!

An invisible wave instantaneously confined the space around Lin Xin, making it impossible for him to escape or teleport.

This wave was extremely strange and powerful, mainly interfering with key points used to locate and maintain the stability of True Yuan, thereby restraining True Yuan and Heaven and Earth’s Elemental Energy.

It seemed an ordinary long knife slash, with no flashy energy or True Yuan ripples, but it could inflict irreparable, terrifying injury even to cultivators of the Golden Core Stage.

"Interesting."

This time Lin Xin deliberately focused his attention, observing each step of the opponent’s exertion of force.

Sure enough, he understood the steps involved in this long knife slash.

"By parasitizing a semi-living energy life form within one’s body, constantly increasing compatibility, and raising the level of this energy life form, then receiving feedback strength to enhance oneself or attack. Let’s call it Dragon Spirit for now."

Puff!

The long knife came to a stop in mid-air, less than a meter away from Lin Xin, unable to move.

The dual-horned captain looked incredulous, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Kill!!" He roared, infusing his entire Dragon Spirit madly into the blade.

"Its nature is somewhat like highly condensed demonic power, yet more honest and bright, with a bit of purifying force." Lin Xin reached out and retrieved the captain’s long knife, its blade emitting invisible waves of transparent Dragon Spirit.

But no matter how it emitted, it could never touch Lin Xin’s close skin.

Even when he grabbed the blade, there was always an invisible distance between his skin and the blade.

This was the Divine Skill of Insulation, a property Lin Xin comprehended from the Primordial Free Tranquility Art.

Any being weaker by three realms could never sense or touch his true existence, like current unable to pass through an insulator.

"Though not as powerful as the Primordial Free Tranquility Art, it is still fearless of group battles."

Understanding what Dragon Spirit was, Lin Xin lost interest, bending his fingers.

With a snap, the long knife shattered into countless pieces.

The dual-horned captain in front, at the same time, sprayed blood everywhere, countless invisible vigor qi pierced his body, like numerous powerful arrows shooting through him.

"Quick...run...!"

He turned his head to shout back one last time.

Puff. He collapsed to the ground, never to make a sound again.

"A few, come here."

Lin Xin looked at a group of dumbfounded dual-horned people, reaching out a hand, instantly drawing two elderly ones over, landing before him.

Two streaks of red light swiftly flowed out from their eyes, like water, drilling into Lin Xin’s palms.

After the red light flew out, the two elders tilted their heads, lifeless.

"Run!!!"

The entire convoy scattered and fled, like startled birds, abandoning their cargo.

Lin Xin slightly opened his mouth, exhaling a breath of air.

Whoo....

A fierce wind swept across the grassland, not damaging it, causing a momentary chaos, all dual-horned people screamed, lifted and spun at high speed, forming a terrifying grey-white tornado connecting the heavens and the earth.

The tornado lasted less than five seconds before collapsing abruptly, the dual-horned people within were all turned to skeletons, falling and crashing down.

Only two hornless people in gray clothes survived from the entire convoy.

Bang!

A cart crashed down, scattering lots of metal weapons and shields, many twisted by the strong wind.

Glancing at the weapons, Lin Xin ignored the two hornless people, walking north on the grassland.

His speed was fast, appearing to take slow steps, but each step crossed several kilometers.

From the memory of the Soul Search just now, he saw a dual-horned city in the north of the grassland named Hero Song City.

It was said to house powerful martial artists of the Dragon Crown Realm.

From the memory of those two, Lin Xin saw they originally lived in a barren desert without minerals or woods.

There, water was the most precious thing.

Here, water was worthless.

So one day, when news spread that everyone could move to a place full of water and plants, everyone was shocked and ecstatic.

That’s how groups of dual-horned people were organized, led by their supreme and great leader towards the Teleportation Formation.

"Teleportation Formation....." Lin Xin’s heart moved, "If I can find out what kind of Teleportation Formation these dual-horned people built, maybe I can solve their appearance mystery. But I have no time to handle this now. I need to find a way to absorb Taoist Ancestor Origin, then find Hongye."

"How to quickly absorb Taoist Ancestor Origin?" He had no clue for now.

Destroying this world might be easy for someone like him.

But finding what he wanted would be extremely difficult.

"Maybe I can find Red Leaf Sword Master first, and get some information from him."

He settled his mind slightly.

Finding Red Leaf Sword Master wasn’t difficult.

As a Sword Master Level being, on par with a Taoist Ancestor, doing something big in the Nether Mansion should easily get his attention.

Then, let him come to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin’s figure flashed, quickly seeing a way to make some big moves.

In front of him lay a magnificent, towering city.

Though thousands of meters away, the city dominated all his sight from left to right.

Large crowds of black-armored dual-horned guards, emitting faint Dragon Spirit aura, wildly poured out of the city, rushing towards him.

Lin Xin saw from afar that the guards’ auras fused, forming a massive black lion, roaring arrogantly toward him.

The lion was tens of meters high and over a hundred meters long, its power waves instantly expanding to far exceed the previous dual-horned captain’s.

But what Lin Xin was most concerned about was the hostility he felt from the space around the black lion.

The Nether Mansion was a world completely isolated from the outside, its will being the sole ruler here.

So this was the Nether Mansion’s hostility.

Watching the approaching black lion, Lin Xin slowly raised his hand.

"I give you three days to find Red Leaf Sword Master, or...."

A faint black light appeared at the edge of his palm, his voice spreading far.

Though also black light, his hand emitted a clustered glow, vaguely evoking the concept of planetary orbits.

With a gentle sweep of his hand.

Swoosh!!

Countless airs were instantly depleted.

A straight black crack split the area ahead, from Lin Xin’s feet all the way to the black lion and the huge city behind it.

No True Force, no Elemental Energy, just Lin Xin’s bare-handed strike.

The ground trembled first and then shook violently. Countless stones floated up, the black lion shuddered, then exploded with a loud bang.

Countless dual-horned people’s blood and limbs were scattered, blood mist and black gas mixing and scattering in all directions.

The great city echoed with a roar from afar, its outer walls flashing with intense, invisible ripples, trying to block Lin Xin’s strike.

But it was in vain.

Pure terrifying power created an unmatched vacuum wave, ruthlessly breaking through the city walls.

Buildings inside collapsed rapidly, like sandcastles, crumbling one after another.

Lin Xin held back much force to avoid disturbing the Nether Mansion’s will too much.

In the outside world, such a strike could leave permanent, terrifying scars across the land.

"Find Hongye, tell me his location." Lin Xin’s voice spread far.

"Fail to do so in three days, and I will destroy this world."

He didn’t use any language, only pure mental transmission.

This was a communication method any race could understand.

This mental wave quickly spread from Lin Xin’s center, reaching any intelligent life form in the world.

They soon saw Lin Xin’s location and his apocalyptic act of destroying the city army through these waves.

The city split open, countless black dual-horned people within fled like flies, but none dared to rush towards Lin Xin.

They scattered like birds, flying desperately away.

Masses of civilians and ground troops poured out of the fractured city, fleeing westward on the grassland, hoping for sanctuary and protection.

Lin Xin stood calmly, closing his eyes, letting the dual-horned people flee.

He didn’t care how the beings of this layer achieved it, he only wanted the result.

If not, they could die.

Maybe he would allow these dual-horned people to integrate with him, becoming honored parts of himself.

The wave spread far and fast.

Among the closest fleeing dual-horned people.

Noble families, bringing their kin, hiding in luxurious carriages, driving away, initially thought they were hearing things.

But as more confirmed hearing the same wave, they had to believe it.
