The Legend of the Netherworld

Chapter 156 Rescue everyone

The darkness enveloped Lin Xiao, and the entire venue was silent. The only movement was the tense atmosphere between Lin Xiao and Elder Xuantian.

At this moment, Elder Xuantian appeared silently behind Lin Xiao, with a sneer in his eyes. A blade of light condensed in his hand and stabbed fiercely at Lin Xiao's back.

However, Lin Xiao showed a sneer on his face, and his back shuddered slightly, as he had already felt the deadly breath.

He stood still, without turning around, as if waiting for this sneak attack.

He knew very well that his body could withstand any attack, so he was not afraid of his trump card being discovered today.

"bump!"

The light blade pierced Lin Xiao's back, as if hitting hard steel, making a loud noise and then shattered.

Lin Xiao's body remained motionless, appearing extremely tough.

Before Elder Xuantian could react, Lin Xiao's hand had already tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. He turned around and stabbed without hesitation. The sword tip pointed straight at Elder Xuantian's chest like lightning and pierced into his chest in an instant.

"what!"

Elder Xuantian screamed, covered his wound with both hands, and stepped back in pain. His movements were messy and blood gushed out like a fountain.

As Elder Xuantian's injuries worsened, his "Heavenly Secret Star Transformation" became ineffective. The light around Lin Xiao suddenly recovered, and a bright scene appeared.

At this time, the disciples of Tianji Pavilion around were stunned when they saw Elder Xuantian was injured. They looked at each other with shock on their faces, and then surrounded Lin Xiao, ready to surround him again.

However, Elder Xuantian endured the severe pain and ordered in a deep voice: "Disperse! Stay away from this battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples quickly retreated, leaving a space for the two powerful men to continue their duel.

Elder Xuantian gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain as he pulled the sword from his chest. Blood splattered, and he immediately cast a spell to press on the wound, trying to slow the bleeding. Seeing his miserable state, Lin Xiao's anger didn't subside, but instead intensified.

With a cold wave of his hand, the dagger flew out of the air and pointed directly at Elder Xuantian's eyebrows.

Elder Xuantian's face changed, and he reacted instantly. He raised his hand to block, and a light shield condensed in his hand, quickly blocking the flying dagger.

The light blade pierced the shield with a loud crash, and then the dagger bounced back into the air.

Elder Xuantian took a breath, then stood up calmly and stared at Lin Xiao. "It seems you're not going to hide your cards anymore today. Your body is truly formidable, comparable to a divine weapon." His voice was calm, but his eyes held a hint of fear. "However, this alone isn't enough to make me retreat."

"The dead don't need to speak!" Lin Xiao's voice was cold and angry.

Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed like a ghost and instantly appeared behind Elder Xuantian, and his left fist swung out like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Elder Xuantian reacted slowly, and it was obvious that the previous injury had a great impact on him. He hurriedly used the light shield to block the attack, but was still knocked several meters away by Lin Xiao's punch. He fell heavily to the ground, knelt on his knees, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha……"

Elder Xuantian gasped in pain, then laughed heartily, his voice filled with madness and anger. "Even if you kill me today, what good will it do? The threat to Feng Shui Academy has only just begun!"

He suddenly leaped up and flew into the air with his injured body. The spiritual power around him rushed towards him frantically, and his wounds were quickly healed at this moment.

The spiritual energy around him condensed, and the images of three old men gradually emerged. Their figures were illusory, but they exuded a strong aura, as if they came from another time and space.

"Today, I'll let you see the Feng Shui Academy's protective formation!" Elder Xuantian said sternly.

Lin Xiao looked at the three elders, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He took a closer look and discovered that these three elders were exactly the same as the figures in the portraits he had worshipped when he first entered the Feng Shui Academy! Those three were none other than the previous leaders of the Feng Shui Academy! They had died, but now, somehow, they had been resurrected.

Elder Xuantian waved his hand, and the three old men moved at the same time. Their figures seemed to turn into three beams of light and rushed straight towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly, but his mentality remained calm.

He took a deep breath, and the energy in his body began to flow, and without hesitation, he used the "Illusionary Body Skill: Imitating Phantom Moves".

In an instant, two phantoms that looked exactly like him appeared beside him, and the three Lin Xiaos started to fight at the same time.

Three Lin Xiaos, one facing an old man.

The left fist was sent out like a split in the air, with a whistling energy, rushing straight towards the old man; a move of "Shadow Spirit Sword Stab" stabbed at another old man like lightning; the third one used "Blue Sky Sword Rain Weaving", and the sword energy swept out like a rainstorm, carrying a breath of destruction.

The pace of the battle became increasingly rapid. Lin Xiao discovered that although the three resurrected masters had powerful auras, their cultivation was only at the Dingmao level 1, which was far less powerful than he had expected.

Despite this, the attacks of the three old men were extremely fierce, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, even causing some trouble to Lin Xiao.

With a loud collision, Lin Xiao gradually took the initiative.

His energy surged, and each blow carried unstoppable destructive force. Although the three elders were powerful, they gradually fell into a disadvantage under Lin Xiao's full-strength counterattack.

As time went by, the strength of the three old men gradually declined. Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and launched a final attack without mercy.

He swung his fists like lightning, with incredible swiftness. The three former sect leaders were instantly scattered, their bodies collapsed, and they flew several feet away, turning into a series of afterimages before finally falling heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Elder Xuantian, who was recovering in the air, was suddenly startled, and a deep sense of crisis came from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of panic, realizing that the situation was wrong and could not be reversed.

However, Lin Xiao would never give him a chance to fight back.

He had seen through Elder Xuantian's weakness. The three Lin Xiaos attacked simultaneously, their coordination seamless. The three figures attacked almost simultaneously, unleashing the "Blue Sky Sword Rain Weaving" technique simultaneously. A cloud of swords rained down on Elder Xuantian in the air like raindrops.

Elder Xuantian knew that it was unavoidable, so he immediately cast a light shield to try to resist.

But he never expected that the attacks of the three Lin Xiaos would come like a tide, and the light shield was broken in just a moment. He saw the long sword flying like an arrow and piercing his chest almost at the same time.

"Junior Brother Sanyuan! Beg me!" At the most critical moment, Elder Xuantian used up almost all his strength to roar towards the Sanyuan Palace in the distance, his voice filled with endless requests for help and regret.

However, when Elder Sanyuan, who was in seclusion far away in the Zen temple, heard Elder Xuantian's cry, his heart turned cold as ice. A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and he whispered to himself, "Brother, you are wrong this time, you are really wrong!"

Elder Xuantian's call for help was not answered, no matter how hard he struggled,

Finally, the dense rain of swords pierced his body, his screams pierced the night sky, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Xiao stood on the battlefield, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes. His gaze swept coldly over the body of Elder Xuantian that was pierced by the rain of swords.

Then he turned around and scanned the surroundings with his eyes like a knife.

When the disciples of Tianji Pavilion saw their master, Elder Xuantian, being killed, they were stunned and looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

They seemed to have seen the coming of death, and their faces were filled with fear.

Lin Xiao did not give them any chance to breathe. He waved his hand coldly, and the sword and dagger cut through the air like the scythe of the god of death, and suddenly shot towards the disciples who were trying to escape.

The daggers and swords were extremely sharp and instantly pierced the heads of many fleeing disciples. They fell to the ground and died, their blood staining the ground red.

In this chaos, Zhang Ning, the eldest brother of Tianji Pavilion, had already seen through the direction of the battle. He knew very well that he would never be able to compete with Lin Xiao.

Seeing that Elder Xuantian was dead, Zhang Ning was shocked and made a decisive decision to abandon his master. He turned around and fled quickly towards the ancient forest, trying to save himself.

Lin Xiao watched as the long swords and daggers slashed across everyone's heads like a harvester, and sighed in his heart: "This kid escaped again!" With a wave of his hand, all the disciples of Tianji Pavilion were dealt with.

After a while, the battlefield returned to deathly silence. Lin Xiao did not stop for a moment, turned around and walked towards Xuanzhen Pavilion, ready to rescue the trapped disciples.

When he arrived in front of Xuanzhen Pavilion, Lin Xiao saw a transparent barrier tightly covering Xuanzhen Pavilion, and the elders and disciples of Baicao Garden, Xuanzhen Pavilion, and Xingchen Pavilion were trapped in the barrier.

His arrival immediately caught the attention of the inner disciples. One disciple, beaming with joy, quickly ran into the Xuanzhen Pavilion, shouting, "Lin Xiao is here! Lin Xiao is here to save us!"

As the news spread, Wang Hao and Yuan Hong looked at each other and smiled with relief, "I knew Lin Xiao could do it!" They quickly found Lin Qing and told him the good news.

As the news spread, the elders of Zhendao, Xingchen and Yaowang Pavilion couldn't help but feel happy when they heard it. They all brought their disciples to the gate, ready to let Lin Xiao break the barrier.

All the trapped disciples came to the gate of Xuanzhen Pavilion. They watched Lin Xiao's every move anxiously across the barrier.

Lin Xiao looked at these familiar faces and felt their anticipation and anxiety. Without any hesitation, he mobilized all his strength, formed seals with his hands, and performed the "Tiger Roar Palm".

The moment the palm print condensed, a surging wave of air rushed towards the barrier like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Under the impact of the palm print, the barrier vibrated and seemed to begin to crack. The entire area shook and the disciples within the barrier panicked.

However, after a moment, the power of the palm print gradually dissipated, and the barrier remained intact. Lin Xiao frowned slightly, feeling that the barrier was powerful and it was obviously not easy to break.

"I will still help you!" A sudden shout echoed in the air, shaking the four directions.

Elder Sanyuan appeared in the sky, holding the unconscious Elder Chanxin in his hand, and slowly landed beside Lin Xiao.

He threw Elder Chanxin in front of Lin Xiao, his face filled with anger and determination: "I have brought this man to you, but I am not here to repent. After I have done all this, I will report to the headmaster."

He spoke in a firm tone, turned around without hesitation, locked his eyes on the barrier, then took a deep breath, raised his fists, and unleashed the "Dragon Demon Shadow Fist".

His fists were like two giant dragons, slamming into the barrier.

Every time a punch was thrown, there was an astonishing fluctuation in the air, and the barrier began to vibrate violently, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

Elder Sanyuan's face was ferocious, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he never stopped. His punches became more and more fierce, and his voice became hoarse: "Break!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Xiao did not hesitate and unleashed the "Tiger Roar Palm". The palm print was like a tiger emerging from the mountains, carrying an extremely powerful momentum, and slammed into the barrier fiercely.

boom!

The two powerful impacts intertwined with each other, and the barrier suddenly made a violent vibration. Then, under the combined attack of the two, it finally couldn't help but break apart and scattered.

The shattering of the barrier caused the trapped disciples to rejoice. They excitedly shouted loudly: "Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao! We are saved!"

The three elders stood aside, their hearts filled with gratitude, but their faces were still filled with grief. They slowly walked towards Lin Xiao and sighed, "Well done, the Sect Leader was right about you."

Lin Xiao nodded, his eyes as calm as water.

At this time, the elder of the formation shouted angrily: "Sanyuan, you still have the nerve to come in front of us!"

Elder Sanyuan did not refute what he heard. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Xiao and the three elders and whispered, "This is the body of the Sect Leader."

He pulled a small crystal coffin from his sleeve and gently placed it on the ground, his eyes complex. "At that time, I sealed the Sect Leader's soul in the coffin just in time. As long as we find the 'Nine Transformations Revitalizing Grass' in the future and use our extraordinary skills, there's still a chance the Sect Leader will be resurrected."

The Zhen Dao elder took the crystal coffin, examined it carefully for a moment, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."

Elder Sanyuan did not pause, then looked at Elder Chanxin who was standing beside him and continued, "I have brought this Elder Chanxin to you as well."

He flipped his palm and a piece of broken ice appeared in it. He handed it to Lin Xiao, "This is the only physical evidence left by Ye Xuan. I once went to the place where he and the Shadow Monkey King fought fiercely. I searched for a long time, but in the end, I only found this piece of broken ice."

Lin Xiao took the shattered ice and secretly felt Ye Xuan's breath. It was as if his heart had been struck hard. That familiar breath made him feel extremely sad, and the pain swept over him like a tide.

Suddenly, Elder Sanyuan roared to the sky: "I, Sanyuan, will bear the responsibility for my mistakes!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly detonated his internal energy, his body instantly exploding, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Before Lin Xiao and the others could react, Elder Sanyuan completely vanished into thin air, leaving behind only an endless blood mist and debris.

"Sanyuan!" Elder Yaowang exclaimed, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

"Let him be." Elder Xuan Zhen sighed softly, "He has been like this since he was a child. If he makes a mistake this time, I'm afraid he will never forgive himself."

Lin Xiao remained silent, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart. He watched Elder Sanyuan's self-destruction, feeling the despair and determination, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, his gaze fell on the still unconscious Elder Chanxin, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then how should we deal with Elder Chanxin?"

A hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the Zhen Dao elder, and he said coldly: "Lock him in a dark room and never let him out!"

Elder Yaowang and Elder Xingchen also nodded in agreement, and no one objected to this decision.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Lin Xiao tightly grasped the broken ice, slowly turned around, and prepared to continue what he had not finished.

At this time, the Daozhen elder called him and said, "Lin Xiao, the three of us have discussed it and decided that you will take over the Feng Shui Academy and become the next headmaster."
