Chapter 27: The Final Kill of Tao Xuan

With a deafening boom, the Water - Qilin crashed through the fragile earthen wall, its gaping maw wide open and its enraged eyes bulging like over - inflated basketballs.

As the earthen wall dissipated, the Water - Qilin looked around but found the area inside empty!

Just then.

"Lightning Release: Earth - Shaking Dash!"

A deep voice resounded behind the Water - Qilin, and Lin Xing suddenly emerged.

Expressions of fear, surprise, and confusion appeared on the Water - Qilin's face. It turned its head and was met with a sea of endless lightning.

Lin Xing had dispelled Susanoo mainly to divert the Water - Qilin's attention, facilitating his solo movement. The ancient auspicious beast, as the essence of nature, could only reach the limit of understanding human nature. Essentially, it was still an animal. In its anger, it lacked the ability to think calmly. It was no match for humans in this regard!

Battle wasn't solely about strength. Wisdom was an equally indispensable part. In his numerous confrontations with Itachi, Lin Xing had deeply understood this.

The massive lightning crashed down, paralyzing the Water - Qilin's body, and for a moment, it lost all sensation.

Lin Xing was in no better state. His face was deathly pale, with only two - tenths of his vast spiritual energy remaining. Although his chakra was abundant, his spiritual energy was nearly depleted. With the increase in his cultivation, Lin Xing's chakra had become closely intertwined with his spiritual energy, and neither could be lacking! To perform ninjutsu, spiritual energy was necessary; when using Daoist magic, chakra would inevitably be involved!

The previous earth - shattering slash of Susanoo, the confrontation with the Water - Qilin's all - out large - scale Earth Release, and this huge lightning that shot up tens of feet high. After these three major moves, only two - tenths of his spiritual energy was left!

If it weren't for the recent breakthrough of his Daoist magic to the sixth level of the Jade Pure Realm, Lin Xing might have been exhausted to the point of fainting by now!

Fortunately, he had managed to subdue this troublesome creature!

Gritting his teeth, Susanoo once again condensed around Lin Xing. To conserve extra spiritual energy, he formed only a skeletal structure.

The Water - Qilin's huge eyes were still in a daze, with streaks of lightning occasionally flickering across its massive body. Seizing the moment, Lin Xing threw a punch!

The sturdy fist of Susanoo struck the Water - Qilin's head.

Boom ——— Brain matter splattered, and blood sprayed everywhere. The Water - Qilin's huge head cracked open. After a muffled groan, its four limbs went limp, and it collapsed to the ground.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, Lin Xing sent a wisp of spiritual power towards the Water - Qilin. In the next second, the Water - Qilin vanished. In the storage space of the Mangekyo Sharingan, there appeared an enormous corpse.

"Water - Qilin, I'm sorry."

Although it might seem insincere, deep down, Lin Xing didn't want to kill it.

He wanted to protect Ping'er; it was to safeguard the Qingyun Sect. How similar they were!

But if he didn't kill it, the lives of himself, Ping'er, and many others would be at risk. Even if it could increase the chance of survival by just one percent, Lin Xing would unhesitatingly kill it to gain a glimmer of hope for the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Survival was a matter of life - and - death. There was no need to feign kindness. When it was time to act, one should act!

Dropping the last bit of sentimentality, Lin Xing turned around. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed into his body, replenishing the consumed spiritual energy; the Blood - Devouring Pearl was also Crazy bsorbing the Water - Qilin's essence blood and feeding it back to him through the Mangekyo space.

The Mangekyo Sharingan gradually became clearer.

Lin Xing stared into the distance and saw a dark - green figure hurtling towards him. Several dazzling lights were streaking through the night sky from a thousand - zhang distance.

Dao Xuan!

Lin Xing shuddered!

Not only had he just finished a fierce battle, but even if he were at his full strength, he was no match for Old Man Dao Xuan!

He had killed the Water - Qilin in just about twenty seconds. How could Dao Xuan arrive so quickly?

It was terrifying!

"Demonic heretic, don't be so arrogant!"

Old Man Dao Xuan let out a thunderous shout, and a sword qi shot towards him from a thousand - zhang distance in the air. Lin Xing's hair stood on end, and a sense of fear welled up in him!

Run!!!

Run quickly!!

There was no room for any thoughts of luck because any extra action would only cost him his life. Abandoning all other thoughts, he fled at top speed!

Susanoo instantly took shape, with its massive defense concentrated around his body. Lin Xing condensed Susanoo to a height of one - and - a - half people, focusing all his energy on defense.

Regardless of the spiritual energy depletion, he desperately poured spiritual energy and chakra into Susanoo. As long as he could escape, everything would be fine!

Lin Xing had witnessed Dao Xuan's strength countless times in the simulation space!

There was absolutely no chance of winning!!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion sounded behind him. The place where Lin Xing had been standing was blasted into seven or eight deep holes by the sword qi. Each hole was small, only as thick as a chopstick.

But through the perception of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Lin Xing knew that those unremarkable holes were at least ten - odd meters deep!!

The sword qi shot from a thousand - zhang distance remained condensed and could still maintain such strong penetrative power. The pure strength of Old Man Dao Xuan was evident!!

Lin Xing felt a wave of After fear. Ignoring his dizziness, he pushed himself forward again!

Quickly, get away from this old man!

The Blood - Devouring Pearl continuously supplied essence blood for replenishment, and Lin Xing's Mangekyo Sharingan could see more clearly in the night. Although his spiritual energy was on the verge of exhaustion, it was also recovering with the pure supply from the Water - Qilin.

In this way, as long as he had a breath left, no matter how severely his spiritual energy was depleted, he could recover in a short time! This action of dealing with the Water - Qilin was worth it!

Lin Xing shouted, mustering his strength again, and his speed far exceeded his body's limit. The dark - green figure of Dao Xuan gradually fell behind.

Beyond the river ahead was a lush forest. Once he reached there, Dao Xuan would be unable to do anything to him!

Just then, Lin Xing sensed that Dao Xuan had slowed down.

What was going on? Lin Xing was puzzled.

But in the next instant, he understood.

A long, white immortal sword leaped out of its sheath. The spiritual energy around Old Man Dao Xuan surged. The sword momentum made a strange pause in the air and then struck out in an instant.

It had a full sense of rhythm!

This powerful rhythm affected the surrounding mountains, rocks, plants, the gentle breeze, and the rapid current. Even the pitch - black night sky was encompassed by this single sword strike!

This sword strike had actually harnessed the power of the natural elements!

This was likely a killing move of Old Man Dao Xuan!

Lin Xing fled frantically, leaving behind the pain in his body and the depletion of his spiritual energy. Who would have thought that Dao Xuan had stopped to prepare this ultimate strike!

Run! Run faster!!

Each step landed heavily on the ground, creating a thunderous boom and leaving deep depressions. The appearance of Susanoo changed rapidly, with its surface contorting into various elegant streamline shapes to reduce air resistance.

For the first time in his life, Lin Xing felt such a strong sense of crisis! Even Obito in the other world had never brought him such intense pressure!

He racked his brains, exerted all his strength, and employed every method he could think of!

He had to dodge this move!!

Otherwise, he would surely die!!!!
