Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 145 - 145 144 Leaving

145: Chapter 144: Leaving 145: Chapter 144: Leaving This feeling was very eerie and made Lin Xuan uneasy.

Beside him, Shen Jingqiu also opened her eyes, a serious expression surfacing on her stunning face.

“Did you feel it too?” Lin Xuan asked.

“Yes.” Shen Jingqiu looked towards the bronze coffin inside, “Don’t act rashly.

Once I’ve recovered, we’ll leave immediately.”

Lin Xuan handed her a pot of Spiritual Wine to help her recover fully.

Bang!

A loud noise rang out as the bronze coffin cracked open slightly.

Lin Xuan abruptly stood up, feeling an immense fear.

“Don’t act rashly!” the Lord of Wine reminded.

“This aura is so dark,” Shen Jingqiu frowned, “Could this be the Old Immortal from Netherworld Hall?”

But Lin Xuan sensed an aura similar to that of the Black Robed Man, yet it was slightly different.

Could the engraved words on the ground about ‘them’ be referring to Netherworld Hall?

Were those people also killed by Netherworld Hall?

But why would he need their skulls?

Lin Xuan couldn’t figure it out, and now was not the time to think about these issues.

He and Shen Jingqiu cautiously retreated.

Buzz!

A mysterious suction force arose, like an invisible abyss, wanting to devour them.

“Could it be him drawing us in?” they wondered.

Both exerted their Spiritual Power to resist strongly.

Lin Xuan noticed that the green egg inside his ring seemed like it was about to be absorbed, frightening him into controlling it immediately.

Fortunately, the Lord of Wine was there, preventing the green egg from being taken away.

Beside him, Shen Jingqiu’s face drastically changed, her body experiencing intense fluctuations of energy.

“He wants to absorb the Life Essence!” Lin Xuan realized.

All over his body, Sword Intent surged, and inside his mind, the Great Dragon Sword Seal lightly chimed, sending fierce Sword Qi slashing forward.

Hiss-hiss!

A sword slashed down, severing the void force.

The suction disappeared, everything returned to normal.

But the next moment, an even stronger suction force emerged.

“Go!”

Without any hesitation, the two rushed out of the grand hall, believing the bronze coffin to be far more dangerous than the Big Octopus.

Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu transformed into two beams of light, diving into the water.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Octopus tentacles flew towards them like mountains.

Behind them, the bronze coffin flew out of the palace, chasing them relentlessly.

Lin Xuan’s scalp tingled as he exerted all his power, fleeing downwards.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three water columns surged forward, striking them and causing Lin Xuan’s Qi-Blood to churn.

“I have a type of Life Essence on me, he might be coming for me; you better leave quickly!”

Shen Jingqiu’s expression was grave, not wanting Lin Xuan to die in vain for her.

“I have it too!” Lin Xuan said with a bitter smile, feeling a hint of fondness for the girl before him.

Behind them, the bronze coffin slightly shook, the long dragons on either side seemingly coming to life, transforming into two Water Dragons, roaring as they approached.

On the other side, the Big Octopus was not far behind.

Though it feared the bronze coffin, the objects on the two of them attracted it.

A massive tentacle, tens of meters long, covered the sky, surging towards Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu.

“There’s a crack below, looks like a Transmission Array,” the voice of the Lord of Wine sounded.

Lin Xuan employed his Purple Spirit Eyes, indeed spotting the crack.

He quickly informed Shen Jingqiu, and they rapidly descended.

Bang!

Lin Xuan cleaved the crack with his sword, discovering indeed two ancient Array Platforms inside.

But at that moment, Shen Jingqiu’s body seemed to be pulled by something, rapidly moving backwards.

“Damn it!” Lin Xuan’s face darkened.

Without any hesitation, he soared into the sky.

“Outer Heaven Flying Star!”

Sword Qi surged like a rainbow, Sword Intent roiling as Lin Xuan unleashed his strongest attack, transforming into a shooting star.

Outside of him, a dragon-shaped form was vaguely visible, fiercely roaring.

Shen Jingqiu’s heart sank bit by bit.

At the moment she was captured, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Her cultivation was extraordinarily high, and her status even more so.

She had come to this remote place in search of something, only to face impending death here.

For a moment, she thought of many things, and in the end, she could only sigh sadly.

“Am I going to die here?”

Suddenly, the water surged wildly without cessation, and a figure rapidly approached.

“It’s him!” Shen Jingqiu’s heart palpitated; she thought that Lin Xuan had long since left, but unexpectedly…

“He actually gave up escaping for me, regardless of his own life!” A strange emotion swelled in Shen Jingqiu’s heart.

“But what use is there?”

In her view, Lin Xuan’s cultivation was incapable of changing anything.

Whoosh!

Below, Sword Intent erupted, and the sharp edge of the sword split the water current.

A stunning sword strike landed behind Shen Jingqiu.

“Run!” Lin Xuan transmitted his voice.

Shen Jingqiu was somewhat stunned, gazing fixedly at the young man before her.

Black hair, handsome, with a somewhat thin figure.

But his eyes, bright as stars, were filled with confidence.

Subsequently, violent fluctuations erupted, sweeping over.

Lin Xuan quickly flashed by, grabbed Shen Jingqiu, and dashed downward.

With his left hand holding the beauty and his right hand swinging the longsword, he struck down, repelling the surrounding water currents and even reducing the resistance.

Only then did Shen Jingqiu snap back to reality, feeling the peculiarity of the hand hold, and her cheeks slightly reddened.

However, she did not withdraw her jade hand, but let Lin Xuan continue to hold it.

She felt a trace of relief in her heart, just when she was about to give up, this young man had pulled her back from the brink of death.

Whoosh!

Lin Xuan landed on the Array Platform.

“Just activate the Spiritual Power!” That’s what Lord of Wine had told him.

Shen Jingqiu stood on another Array Platform, her beautiful eyes staring at Lin Xuan.

The array activated, and white light flickered.

As the figures were about to disappear in an instant, a purse flew into Lin Xuan’s hand, and Shen Jingqiu’s voice echoed in his ear.

“I’m in the Sky Martial Domain, Flying Moon Pavilion…”

Finally, the light vanished and the figures were gone.

…

Inside the Blood-colored Heavenly Palace, the disciples reluctantly left the blood-red gate.

The trial was nearly over, and they didn’t want to waste any more time.

Zheng Jun also stood up with a look of reluctance and glared fiercely at the blood-red gate before quickly leaving.

As Lin Xuan and Shen Jingqiu used the Transmission Array to leave, the Blood-colored Trial also ended.

The timing and calculations were slightly off, not quite a month, but it was still the longest in a century.

Outside, white light flickered.

One by one, the disciples appeared, their expressions varied, but most of them wore faces of joy.

After all, they had all obtained treasures, and quite a few had entered the Spirit Sea Realm.

The elders of various sects laughed heartily, watching their disciples with joy in their hearts.

“What?

Only you came out!

Where are the others?”

In the crowd, an elder from the Ling Family shouted, his face flushed red.

Before him, a disciple from the Ling Family trembled under the elder’s imposing presence, nearly fainting.

“I…

I don’t know…” the disciple’s voice trembled.

“Let’s wait a bit more; maybe they are still inside,” someone suggested, “after all, the trial site hasn’t fully closed yet.”

On another front, the Xuantian Sect.

Elder Xue looked at Zheng Jun, who had entered the Spirit Sea Third Level, his old face blooming like a chrysanthemum.

Elder Duanmu, however, looked slightly somber—Lin Xuan hadn’t emerged yet.

“Brother Lin has entered the final legacy site, unsure of the outcome,” Murong Qianling said from the side.

“What?

The legacy site!”

Not just the Xuantian Sect’s elders, but other factions’ elders had also heard of this.

After all, many had seen Lin Xuan enter the blood-red gate.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards the direction of the Xuantian Sect, their eyes aflame.
