Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 524 - 524 523 Siege

524: Chapter 523: Siege 524: Chapter 523: Siege Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan’s expressions were grave; they couldn’t believe that in such a muddy, heavy gravity field, Lin Xuan had still managed to evade their attacks.

What horrified them even more was that Lin Xuan, a Martial Artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm, mastered such terrifying martial arts.

His martial arts were not the slightest bit inferior to theirs.

Moreover, the two were affected by the distorted gravity field and did not possess Lin Xuan’s speed.

However, as top experts, they reacted instantly.

Yu Qingcheng and the moonlight behind her unified as if a fairy descended, emitting a dazzling radiance.

She swiftly retreated, vanishing like a streak of flowing light.

On the other side, Jiu Mo Yan’s body was enveloped by jumping purple flames, condensing into a pair of huge fiery wings behind him.

With a flap of his wings, he also rapidly retreated.

Seeing them retreat, Lin Xuan furrowed his brows tightly, and with his sword in hand, he charged forward quickly.

He had to fight quickly; once he left the gravity field with no speed limitations, he could no longer contend with two Late Stage Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists.

However, Yu Qingcheng and the other proved even more terrifying than he had anticipated.

In an instant, they had broken the ten-zhang limit and were swiftly approaching Lin Xuan.

Both wanted to capture Lin Xuan, so they ceased resisting against the Exquisite Pavilion.

At that moment, Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan pushed their powers to the extreme.

A full moon pressed down in all directions.

Jiu Mo Yan, with a pair of purple fiery wings behind him, unleashed his speed to its limits, charging swiftly toward Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan continuously dodged while also running towards the distance.

However, the two attacks from the sky were too fierce, shaking Lin Xuan’s qi-blood until he finally incurred an injury.

Spitting out blood, Lin Xuan staggered, then stabilized and quickly ran.

“Little thief, stay!” Jiu Mo Yan roared in anger, extending a huge palm that covered the sky, looming over the area below.

Lin Xuan invoked the Black Dragon Flame, covering his fist, and threw a punch.

Boom!

The Black Dragon Flame collided with the Undying Purple Fire, causing the sky to rise in a sea of fire, the void shattered, and a terrifying heatwave swept across.

“What!” Jiu Mo Yan bellowed in anger and alarm; his Undying Purple Fire was formidable, overpowering even some senior martial artists.

Yet Lin Xuan could not only withstand his Undying Fire but even suppress it!

“What on earth is that black flame?

So terrifying!”

Shaken, he felt increasingly that Lin Xuan was not someone who could be allowed to remain.

Across from him, Yu Qingcheng seized the chance and struck quickly.

A full moon crashed onto Lin Xuan, flinging him away.

This blow directly sent Lin Xuan flying out of the range of the Exquisite Pavilion, and immediately, disciples from the Divine Bird Palace and the Moon Embracing Pavilion armed themselves, launching terrifying attacks.

Lin Xuan felt as if all his bones were breaking; this hit had indeed cost him dearly.

If it weren’t for his robust Golden Thunder Body, he’d likely have been severed by now!

He knew he couldn’t stay any longer; he must leave, or else surrounded by these people, he would have no chance of escape.

Facing Late Stage Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists was still too forced.

Thinking this, he fully stimulated his Spiritual Power, slashing out several Sword Qi.

The ordinary disciples of the Divine Bird Palace and Moon Embracing Pavilion were immediately knocked away.

But several Mid Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists tightly bound Lin Xuan, preventing him from leaving.

In an instant, Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan arrived once again.

Lin Xuan’s expression grew serious; he invoked the Black Dragon Flame, forming a barrier of flame in front of him, dispersing the crowd.

Following that, the Wind Shadow Sword thrust out, employing the move Thunder Fire Kill, rapidly surging.

Terrifying Sword Qi surged above, where the Black Dragon Flame leapt, golden lightning surged, and the Great Dragon Sword Intent amplified its power.

This sword strike was massively powerful.

Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan desperately resisted, held in check, and could only watch helplessly as Lin Xuan charged toward the distance.

“We can’t let him escape.

Chase!” the two shouted angrily.

In a split instant, countless martial artists rapidly charged out to pursue Lin Xuan, with Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan leading the way.

Zhao Ziqi felt an urgent pang in her heart, somewhat inexplicably worried about Lin Xuan’s safety.

She blended into the crowd and followed.

Lin Xuan had been hit by the Ming Yue, suffering severe internal injuries, so his speed was somewhat slowed.

Combined with the continuous attacks from Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan at his rear, his situation grew even more dangerous.

At the critical moment, he burned a portion of his Spiritual Power and turned into a beam of light, his body disappearing at the end of the road.

“Split up and search, immediately signal if there’s any news!”

Immediately, numerous martial artists dispersed in all directions to search rapidly.

Lin Xuan temporarily eluded the crowd and came to a corner of the palace, contemplating his next move.

He figured Yu Qingcheng and Jiu Mo Yan wouldn’t just let him off, surely they would conduct a thorough search within the entire palace.

If he continued to stay here, he might very likely be besieged again.

Yet he was very reluctant to give up the items in the Exquisite Pavilion.

If he could break through to the Spirit Communication Realm, perhaps the situation would be different.

Lin Xuan clenched his fists; he had the Earth Essence on him—if he consumed it, a breakthrough would only be a matter of time.

However, there was currently no safe place for him to attempt the breakthrough.

Swooosh!

In the distance, the sound of breaking air arose, with several auras rushing this way.

Clearly, someone was coming this way to search.

Lin Xuan frowned, got up, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a voice emerged nearby.

“Come with me!”

“Is that you?” Lin Xuan was startled, looking at Zhao Ziqi with some surprise.

Zhao Ziqi scattered some powder around to erase their traces, then quickly pulled Lin Xuan away.

“Why are you helping me?” Lin Xuan was perplexed.

Logically, if he were in danger, the happiest person should be Zhao Ziqi, especially since she still harbored the Black Dragon Flame inside her.

Yet, Lin Xuan had not expected Zhao Ziqi to actually help him escape.

“Don’t ask now, it’s too complicated to explain,” Zhao Ziqi pulled Lin Xuan along, her face slightly flushed.

Although the two masked their presence, the martial artists searching for Lin Xuan were numerous.

Eventually, they were discovered.

Fighting their way through, they once again neared the Ancient Demon Bull.

“Humph, boy, just surrender quietly!” Jiu Mo Yan, leading the disciples of the Divine Bird Palace, sneered.

Yu Qingcheng, leading the people from the Moon Embracing Pavilion, blocked the road.

The road ahead was blocked, and the Ancient Demon Bull’s cave mansion was behind.

Lin Xuan was completely trapped.

“Boy, reveal your secret, and I might leave your body intact!” Jiu Mo Yan sneered.

“Hand over that item, and I might consider sparing you,” said Yu Qingcheng from the other side in a cold voice.

“What should we do?” Zhao Ziqi grasped Lin Xuan, her face filled with fear.

Lin Xuan’s face was stern; he drew a pattern on Zhao Ziqi, retrieving the Black Dragon Flame from her body.

“You’re free now, leave quickly,” Lin Xuan said, unwilling to burden the girl who saved him.

Zhao Ziqi was stunned; she had desired countless times to rid herself of the Black Dragon Flame and gain freedom, but she hadn’t expected it to happen under these circumstances.

Moreover, she even felt a strong sense of loss.

“No, I want to stay here, maybe I can help you!” Zhao Ziqi said.

“In that case, maybe you could hold me hostage, perhaps that would deter Sister Yu from taking action.”

“Are you really willing to stay here?” Lin Xuan asked.
