Chapter 962: Relationship Breakdown (Please Subscribe)_1
Standing on these broken stones, Xu Sheng, faced with the dense silver needles coming at him, tried his best to calm down...
Although he couldn't use Spiritual Power here, he believed that with his swordsmanship, it might still be possible to block them!
With this thought, he took out his Personal Sword with a serious expression and began to wield it with a nimble stance...
In an instant, the swift and cold gleams of Sword Shadow began to whirl around him incessantly...
And as the silver needles approached within a certain distance of Xu Sheng, they were perfectly deflected by the rapidly swinging Personal Sword, subsequently falling into the magma below...
Just like that, this deadly assault was perfectly intercepted!
Seeing this, the Wei Family Disciples behind him almost wanted to spit blood...
They couldn't help but wonder if Xu Sheng was some kind of monster; without any protective amulet or the aid of Spiritual Power, he had still managed to ward them off...
Some disciples, unable to cope with the disparity, cursed, "Damn it, aren't we not supposed to use Spiritual Power here? Why can this guy swing his sword so effortlessly and elegantly?"
"Don't even think about it, this Xu Sheng must have specifically trained in sword techniques! Otherwise, how could he achieve this without the enhancement of Spiritual Power?"
"Xu Sheng even got this damn lucky! He was almost at the brink of perishing here!!"
At that moment, the "ground" that the Wei Family Disciples stood on began to tremble wildly, and as the quivering sounds grew louder, it started to sink rapidly...
It would take only about a few minutes to be completely submerged in the gray-black Magma Flow Region below...
If they stayed on it, the end was already sealed—with obliteration being the only outcome!
Exhausted from using significant energy to fend off the silver needles with his sword, Xu Sheng gasped for breath...
Hearing the eerie noise, he turned his head and threw a glance back with his dark eyes...
He could vaguely make out the cheeks of the Wei Family Disciples, displaying extreme panic, unsure of what to do...
They had thought that being able to stay here for a lifetime wouldn't be too bad, but who knew, even this sliver of hope was to be mercilessly crushed by this Secret Realm!
"Damn it! What to do? This place is going to sink any moment now!!"
"We have no choice but to take the plunge; otherwise, we only have a dead end!!"
"This damned Xu Sheng, it must be because of him that this place is continuously sinking!!"
"We have no choice but to try. If we're careful enough, we can also survive! After all, that guy Xu Sheng ahead of us has explored most of the mechanisms and traps!!"
"Right! Why didn't I think of that—just follow his lead, imitate him, and we can clear the way!"
With this in mind, their eyes began to glint with determination...
But they felt conflicted deep down; they had been hoping Xu Sheng would perish sooner, but now, if they wanted to survive, they could only rely on him!
If he were to die, it would mean that the last thread of hope no longer existed!
Hence, the Wei Family Disciples didn't linger and cautiously jumped onto the stone pillars...
Of course, a few disciples, due to their underlying fear, failed to secure their footing and fell into the gray-black magma...
Their fate was to be turned to ash, burned by the raging flames...
Xu Sheng quickly averted his gaze, feeling no desire to stop them in his heart...
If they could survive without any protective amulets, then it was their destiny!
So, he continued to stride forward, rushing ahead...
He could vaguely sense that there were even more troublesome things ahead...
...
On the other side, Xu Peng's face was extremely gloomy as he stared with those man-eating eyes at the two monsters lying not far away...
Then, he turned his gaze toward the Xu Family disciples lying on the ground, lifeless...
He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! So many disciples joined forces to attack, and yet it took so long to slay them!"
His Xu Family had lost a total of six disciples! In stark contrast, the Lin Family had not suffered a single casualty!
Lin Mo cast a cold glance at the dead Xu Family disciples and said, "After those two disciples turned into monsters, not only did their cultivation levels increase, but their defensive and offensive capabilities also greatly enhanced! It's normal for there to be casualties."
In his words, there seemed to be no feeling for the death of the Xu Family disciples...
Upon hearing this, rage gradually rose in Xu Peng's heart, "Why hasn't a single disciple of your Lin Family suffered any losses? Lin Mo, I need an explanation from you!"
Although he didn't understand how it was done, there was definitely something wrong — why were all the casualties from the Xu Family, while not a single person from the Lin Family was harmed!
Lin Mo replied indifferently, "An explanation? What explanation? If your Xu Family's disciples were stronger, they wouldn't have been killed so easily!"
Overcome with anger, Xu Peng's eyes widened, and he felt a sweetness in his throat before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, pointing at Lin Mo and saying, "You... you..."
Even the Xu Family disciples behind him, after hearing this, couldn't help but emanate fury from their eyes...
Xu Peng, laughing bitterly from extreme anger, said, "Good... good, it appears the Lin Family has become so arrogant. Well then, you must be able to handle it on your own. Xu Family disciples, follow me and leave this place!"
"Hmph! To insult our Xu Family's disciples like this, there's no need to cooperate with them!"
"That's right, the reputation of the Lin Family has never been good. I don't know why the Family Head had us join hands with them!"
"I think, the Lin Family harbors ulterior motives; there's no need to cooperate any further!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "Oh? It seems the Xu Family intends to part ways with our Lin Family! Fine, I'll grant your wish."
With that, he cast a glance at the Lin Family disciples...
Seeing the signal, the disciples immediately understood and in a flash drew their personal swords, surrounding the Xu Family members...
Xu Peng, seeing this formation, watched Lin Mo intently and questioned in a cold voice, "Lin Mo, what exactly do you mean? Are you intending to attack the Xu Family?"
The Xu Family disciples behind him also prepared themselves for the imminent battle...
Lin Mo said with disdain, "Hmph! Since the Lin and Xu families are no longer allies, what's wrong with doing this? Lin Family disciples, attack!!"
The Lin Family now clearly had the advantage over the Xu Family, who had suffered casualties!
Although it might be tough, annihilating them was just a matter of time!
When that time came, his Lin Family could swallow up everything here!
At his command, all the Lin Family disciples began a fierce attack...
Knowing that avoiding battle was impossible, Xu Peng gritted his teeth and shouted furiously, "Did you really think our Xu Family is afraid of you? Xu Family disciples, slay them!"
