"Five stripes... it's Five-Mark Demon!"
Wen Ling never imagined that their luck could be this bad.
Along their journey, they encountered at most two-striped demons.
With the combined efforts of everyone, including Qin Lingsu and Lin Xuan providing support, it was not impossible to kill a demon of such strength.
However, whether the Three-Mark Demon could win was still a very big question, as the Five-Mark Demon had already appeared before them.
How are they supposed to fight?
Even if we fight to the death, we still can't win!
The five-striped demon before them, though only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm and not yet at its peak, would not necessarily have a chance of victory even if the Ten Saints came here.
Wen Ling and the others turned pale.
Lu Qiuyan was trembling all over, biting her lip tightly, and muttering, "It's over, it's over, this is going to kill me."
"I should have bought that dress I had my eye on last month. I'd rather die a beautiful death, sob sob... Senior brother, do you think we have a chance to switch to ghost cultivation?"
Her eyes were filled with tears; she was terrified.
Qin Lingsu's eyes also revealed astonishment and a bitter smile.
She never expected to encounter a demon with the strength of a Five-Patterned Heavenly Venerable in such a place.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have encountered such a powerful demon since they had only been here for a short time.
Now that everyone is scattered, how can they possibly win with just a few scattered individuals?
"Our luck is just too bad..." Qin Lingsu shook her head with a wry smile.
Despair was already evident in her eyes.
In the path of cultivation, sometimes, bad luck can be extremely fatal.
Those who achieve the supreme Great Dao are all favored by Heaven and Earth.
But they...
With a sigh, Qin Lingsu forced a smile, feeling utterly powerless.
It's not that she had no trump cards up her sleeve.
However, facing such demons, and the large horde of demons surging forward behind them, is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Forget about fighting, you can't even escape.
However, at that moment, a sudden inspiration flashed before Qin Lingsu's eyes.
Wen Ling, who had hurriedly set up the array plate, stared blankly at the white-clad figure that walked out through the array wall. Before he could even be shocked, he saw the other party draw his sword.
A white shadow flashed and disappeared.
A sudden burst of sword light illuminated the entire passage like daylight. The breathtaking beauty of the countless sword lights was captivating, and also awe-inspiring, revealing the immense power they contained.
After the sword light fell, Qin Lingsu slowly came to her senses. Looking at the scene before her, her pupils suddenly contracted!
She even instinctively took a step forward, staring in astonishment at the corpses scattered on the ground.
... The ground was truly littered with corpses.
All the demons, including the Five-Mark Demon, perished under this One Sword strike, without a trace of life.
Moreover, while these demons were killed, those inside the formation remained completely unharmed, and even the formation itself was not damaged in the slightest.
What terrifying control!
Qin Lingsu was completely shocked.
Not to mention her, even Wen Ling and the others, who knew to some extent that Lin Xuan was very powerful, widened their eyes in astonishment.
That's a demon comparable to the Ten Saints!
They were even competing against the top Ten Saints.
But he actually died from Lin Xuan's One Sword?!
Not a sliver of life was left behind; a single One Sword strike killed the entire terrifying demon, leaving only a sharp sword mark on its fatal point, piercing deep into its heart and lungs.
Such strength...
Such strength!!
He was clearly just a freshman...
Wen Ling swallowed hard, completely at a loss for words.
Qin Lingsu was brought back to her senses by the sound and blinked gently.
Only then did she finally understand why everyone was so determined to follow Lin Xuan.
He's incredibly strong!
Compared to Yu Wei, he is even stronger! Stronger than just a little bit!
'My choice was definitely right...'
As Qin Lingsu pondered this, her gaze towards Lin Xuan took on a strange tinge.
Lin Xuan calmly sheathed his sword, and only after Xuan Bing had collected all the demon corpses around them did he slowly say, "Let's go."
No one else said no.
In their minds, Lin Xuan's current strength was practically no different from that of the Ten Saints.
Not Ten Saints, but better than Ten Saints!
After slaying the demon, the group continued on their journey, but this time they proceeded with greater caution.
After all, this hall was filled with arrays, and they were all broken and damaged.
If you're not careful, you might lose your way or the road.
Just now, Lu Qiuyan took a wrong step and was teleported away. Fortunately, she was teleported to a spot not far from the group, so they could see her at a glance. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
After this incident, everyone was extremely cautious.
I was terrified that one second I would be here, and the next I would be lost in a horde of demons somewhere.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan was there along the way. He intervened time and again to dissolve various formations, which prevented the group from getting separated.
Although Lin Xuan was not proficient in formations, Xuan Bing's perception was very strong.
She could easily sense the presence of formations, and most restrictive formations were ineffective against her.
With Xuan Bing's whispered reminder, Lin Xuan could easily break through various formations.
The others also admired Lin Xuan even more.
Even Qin Lingsu, who usually only cared about her own pills, looked at Lin Xuan with a more curious expression.
As they moved forward step by step, their view suddenly opened up, revealing the group teleportation array that they had correctly guessed. Everyone tensed up immediately, their minds racing, and they subconsciously observed their surroundings.
However, once they saw their surroundings clearly, their expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Demon..."
"How can there be so many demons?!"
They were located above a cave.
This place looks like a side hall, but it has long been dilapidated. They are on a raised platform, and they can clearly see that there is basically no foothold below. More than 95% of the area is water.
This is a cave that has been flooded.
In the water, the side hall was almost entirely filled with demons.
On them...
They all have patterns!
Strangely, despite being so close to these demons, they didn't go berserk, and didn't even glance in their direction!
All the demons focused their gaze on one spot, unwilling to look away even as they drifted on the water.
The moment everyone's gaze fell upon it, they froze, like demons, unwilling to look away.
Qin Lingsu took a step forward almost subconsciously, her tone dreamlike and ethereal.
"I... I must have seen wrong, right?"
"This is... the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fruit!?"
