Chapter 363: Strange Stone Pillar
The few black-robed men did not speak and did not move for a long time. They only stood around the stone pillar and stared at Lin Xuan and Huang Hao.
These people were covered in black robes and their entire bodies were covered. Only their pitch-black eyes were revealed, and there was a faint gloomy light flickering in their eyes. When Lin Xuan sensed carefully, he could already sense that the spiritual qi in their bodies was connected to the spiritual qi on the stone pillar, and it even seemed to be growing endlessly.
It seemed like the treasure on the stone pillar should have already fallen into their hands.
Lin Xuan carefully observed the few black-robed people in front of him, and he had a faint ominous feeling.
These few people’s cultivation levels were not high, and from their appearances, they were not people with high foundations. However, facing Lin Xuan and Huang Hao, they did not have any emotions. This clearly did not make sense.
In that case, if these black-robed men did not obtain any heaven-defying treasures, there was something else.
The sinister feeling did not dissipate with the appearance of the black-robed man. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. Huang Hao could not help but shiver. He looked at them for a long time and said coldly, “They’re only a few minions. Let me kill them.”
Lin Xuan muttered to himself for a moment and said, “Don’t attack. Let me do it. These few people are probably not so easy to deal with.”
If it was only these few black-robed men, Huang Hao naturally could deal with them. However, if things were as he had expected, it was probably the best choice to let him personally take action.
The divine lightning of the nine heavens crackled. Lin Xuan carefully controlled the divine lightning and condensed it into a line, turning it into a longsword. Then, he flew towards the stone pillar.
Roar!
A furious roar shook the world. The gazes of the five black-robed men turned to Lin Xuan at the same time. Their long knives were instantly drawn, and they roared as they rushed towards Lin Xuan.
When these five people took out one person, their movements could only be said to be ordinary. Lin Xuan was even confident that he could instantly kill one of them in the first encounter, but when the five of them combined into one, it was a little different.
The movements of these five people were especially orderly, almost like one person. This made Lin Xuan involuntarily think of a word—marionette.
The same blade move, the same speed, and the same strength. When the five of them rushed forward, all their situations were the same. Only when they were dozens of feet away from Lin Xuan did the movements of these five black-robed men change.
The sharp sword condensed from the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning suddenly waved. Lin Xuan shouted and relied on his spiritual qi to slash horizontally, forcefully receiving the combined attack of the five people in black.
The five long blades were not extraordinary artifacts. Under the power of the invincible divine lightning, they broke apart.
Lin Xuan’s figure did not move at all. Instead, the five black-robed men grunted in unison and were swept away like five fallen leaves, falling heavily to the left of a few stone pillars.
“Good!” Huang Hao’s eyes lit up, and he could not help but cheer.
This move of Lin Xuan’s seemed to be simple, but it contained the truth of the lightning technique. Just this move was enough to see his immense control over the power of lightning.
Huang Hao was excited, but Lin Xuan was still focused.
When the black-robed men flew back earlier, he clearly sensed that the spiritual qi flowing between the stone pillars had increased a little.
Before he could continue forward, the few black-robed men who had vomited blood and flew back earlier had already stood up as if nothing had happened. The most shocking thing was that along with a wave of dark light flickering, the long blades of the five black-robed men actually recovered.
Remodeling?
This word appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind for no reason.
Even though his attack from before seemed to be casual, as the one involved, he knew that this attack had already shattered the internal organs of the black-robed men when it collided with the five long blades. Not to mention people, even a Golden Immortal would probably be unable to get up after this.
However, the black-robed men acted as if nothing had happened, and they even seemed more ferocious than before. The only difference was that the gazes of these black-robed men were even deeper, and they seemed to be filled with evil qi and awe-inspiring aura, causing others to be unable to move their gazes away from them.
The five of them rushed over again and used the same attack as before. Lin Xuan chose to use the same move, but he still held back a little earlier. This time, he used his full strength. The Nine Heavens Divine Lightning erupted with light, and the four-foot-long sword that was originally condensed grew in the wind and became ten feet long.
When the blades and swords crossed, Lin Xuan’s figure could not help but tremble. The five black-robed men could not withstand the power of the divine lightning. As the long blades shattered, their bodies were cut into two by the force of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. Their flesh was instantly scorched black.
With this strike, not to mention injuries, even the flesh, bones, and even organs in their entire body would be heavily injured.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared again.
Dark light rose from the ground and surged out like a heavenly river. It circled in the sky for two weeks and then quickly swooped down, gently enveloping the five black-robed men.
Under the envelopment of this dark light, the originally broken body of the black-robed man was reconnected. The other four people were not obvious, but the lower body of the person who had rushed ahead earlier had already become minced meat. At this moment, his body had regrown, and the speed at which it grew was really shocking. In the blink of an eye, the white bones had already been reborn, and flesh and blood slowly crawled up the white bones like maggots.
“I see, I understand.” Lin Xuan was not worried but happy. He already had a plan in his heart.
Although the Ascension Immortal Dynasty had the dragon qi to suppress it, it came from the True Dragon and was the strongest with the most Yang qi. There was a saying that when things reached the extreme, they would go against the trend. Usually, the core of the strongest Yang was the extreme Yin of evil.
There were many capable people in the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, so they naturally understood this principle. Therefore, these few stone pillars in front of him should be the core of the array that sealed the extreme Yin and evil qi. There was definitely a spiritual object under the stone pillar.
In other words, once the array was broken, the dragon qi that suppressed the light from providence of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty would naturally be corroded by the Yin qi, and the spiritual object would become an ownerless object. At that time…
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan could not help but laugh.
The five black-robed men in front of him should be the invaders who had coveted the treasure vault of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty in the past. Unfortunately, they failed on the brink of success and were completely controlled by the extreme Yin and evil qi to become complete puppets.
This made it easy for Lin Xuan. If not for these few people, he would probably not have understood the reason.
While thinking, the five black-robed men finished reconstructing their bodies and still rushed forward. However, after reconstructing their bodies, they became stronger. If they continued to reconstruct, Lin Xuan could only live in regret.
Therefore, it was best to end the battle quickly!
Lin Xuan laughed loudly, and his arms suddenly spread out to the sides. Dense divine lightning surged out from his palm as the center.
As he cultivated for a long time, his grasp of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning had become more and more familiar. With a raise of his hand, he could condense lightning into an artifact, and his control of the divine lightning could be said to be exquisite. This time, under his control, the divine lightning did not defeat the five black-robed men with the might of lightning like before. Instead, it circled around them and formed a net, firmly trapping the five of them.
Taking advantage of this opening, Lin Xuan used the Seven Reversal Divine Steps to brush past the black-robed man and rushed towards the center of the stone pillar.
The purple divine lightning of the nine heavens condensed into two balls like divine generals and firmly guarded his side.. When he rushed to the side of the stone pillar, the two balls of divine lightning suddenly exploded. Lightning arcs slashed at the five stone pillars like rain!
