Seriously Injured

They had just arrived here, and Bo Xuan had already followed with a Reincarnation Realm expert. If this wasn't secretly tracking them, what else could it be?

Moreover, the Darkness Ancestor Symbol had always been known for its mystery and difficulty in detecting its traces.

However, what Tian Yuanzi and the others didn't expect was that Bo Xuan was so well-prepared. Not only did he secretly follow them, but he had also secretly dispatched a Reincarnation Realm expert to follow him from a distance.

If not, even if that White-Haired Old Man was a Reincarnation Realm expert, Tian Yuanzi and the others wouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual. The only possibility was that Bo Xuan, that old geezer, had planned it all out in advance.

Bo Xuan looked at the angry expressions of Tian Yuanzi and the others, and couldn't help but smile triumphantly. He loved the way these Demon Spawn looked like they wanted to kill him but couldn't do anything about it.

Tian Yuanzi and the others were right in their assumptions. After Bo Xuan went to the Northern Xuan Region and made the necessary arrangements, he had been secretly monitoring the Yuan Gate's movements. The Yuan Gate didn't dare to act recklessly yet, so apart from some important places that Bo Xuan didn't dare to delve into, he could hide anywhere else he pleased.

With the Darkness Ancestor Symbol and two Reincarnation Realm experts outside as backup, Bo Xuan naturally acted boldly. It was this boldness that allowed Lin Xuan to plunge headfirst into the trap set by the Demon Prison without any hesitation, because he trusted Bo Xuan.

Bo Xuan naturally didn't let that trust down. He didn't dare to track the Seven Kings Hall's clone, just as the other party didn't dare to track him, both fearing being discovered. But Bo Xuan didn't feel any pressure when it came to the Yuan Gate Three Sect Leaders.

Bo Xuan even specifically left a Reincarnation Realm Grand Elder to continue monitoring the Yuan Gate, paying attention to the movements of the Yuan Gate and even the Eastern Xuan Region, to guard against that old schemer from the Seven Kings Hall causing trouble.

At the same time, to ensure his own safety and the safety of Lin Xuan and the others, Bo Xuan also specifically brought another Grand Elder, following his trail. The purpose of doing so was naturally because Bo Xuan only had the Darkness Ancestor Symbol on him now, and the Darkness Holy Scythe was not with him.

After returning from the Northern Xuan Region, Bo Xuan handed the Darkness Holy Scythe, along with the Scythe Spirit, to Lin Dong. He specifically instructed Lin Dong that he intended to pass the Darkness Holy Scythe to Lin Qingtan first, so that Lin Dong could supervise Yan's work in his spare time.

"Greetings, esteemed sirs!"

The White-Haired Darkness Hall Grand Elder said softly, but his expression was very stern and somewhat aloof.

Bo Xuan, on the other hand, still had that seemingly amiable smile on his face, and he introduced the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders with a smile, as if he was sincerely and warmly inviting them.

"This is my Lord's Martial Uncle. What do you think? Am I treating you three well? To invite you three for a drink, I specially invited my Martial Uncle from the Northern Xuan Region!"

However, these words made the faces of Tian Yuanzi and the others very ugly. Ren Yuanzi's face was even more gloomy, as if he would explode at any moment.

Tian Yuanzi held Ren Yuanzi's hand, while staring solemnly at Bo Xuan and the White-Haired Old Man.

If it was just Bo Xuan alone, Tian Yuanzi was confident that the three of them could suppress him without any problem. Although Bo Xuan had the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, the three of them were not without their trump cards.

But now, the appearance of another Reincarnation Realm expert directly put Tian Yuanzi and the others at a disadvantage. Today, not to mention using the Hongya Cave Master to eliminate Lin Xuan, even they would have to pay a price if they wanted to leave this place safely.

What worried Tian Yuanzi even more was that after the plan failed, the Seven Kings Hall would be angry...

Now, Tian Yuanzi no longer had his previous thoughts. In fact, he wished that Lin Xuan was not as strong as he had expected, and that he would be directly killed by the Hongya Cave Master. As long as Lin Xuan died, they would not have any trouble.

However, Tian Yuanzi was not a god, so how could everything go according to his wishes? He had already had his wish fulfilled once before, so this time, he was naturally destined to be disappointed.

On the Snowy Plains, the cold wind was biting, and the blood had not yet flowed out of the torn wounds before it was frozen.

The cold wind howled wantonly on the ice field, causing Lin Xuan's eyes to narrow slightly. His eyes stared at the monster in front of him. At this time, the Hongya Cave Master had countless ice-blue Sword marks on his body, which were formed by the power of ice and snow condensing at the wounds.

The dense wounds seemed very terrifying, but for the Hongya Cave Master, who had already transformed into an Otherworldly Demon body, it was nothing. At least, compared to the terrifying injury on his chest that had cut off one side of his waist, a little bit of ice and snow power entering his body did not have much impact.

The Hongya Cave Master's injuries were not light, and Lin Xuan's condition was even worse. The white robe on his body had been completely shattered, and there were several shocking claw marks on his chest, deep enough to see the bone. On top of that, there was even a dark Otherworldly Demon Qi attached to it.

But there was no trace of pain on Lin Xuan's face, only his eyes coldly staring at the Hongya Cave Master in front of him, and the hand holding the Sword tightened slightly.

The Hongya Cave Master looked down at the wound on his waist, and a hint of doubt flashed in his scarlet eyes, as if he couldn't understand how the invincible himself could have suffered such a serious injury.

Then, he stretched out his hideous bone arm and gently touched the wound. The next moment, the Hongya Cave Master was in so much pain that his face twitched, and in his scarlet Demonic pupils, there was a flash of madness, violence, and bloodthirst.

"Roar!"

The Hongya Cave Master roared, then forcefully yanked his hand, as if some viscera severed by a sword were pulled directly from the wound.

With his right hand, he tossed the viscera, nearly cut in two, towards Lin Xuan. After Lin Xuan dodged it by turning his head, the Demonic Qi on the Hongya Cave Master surged as he abruptly charged towards Lin Xuan.

A demonic shadow flickered continuously in the air, approaching Lin Xuan with extreme speed and eeriness. Seeing this, Lin Xuan did not retreat, but his expression became even calmer.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's eyes focused, his wrist turned, and the long sword in his hand was raised horizontally in front of him. Immediately afterward, a huge demonic claw appeared in front of him, carrying immense power, and fiercely grabbed onto the sword's edge.

"Ding!!"

The moment the demonic claw, as if forged from metal, grabbed the sword's edge, sparks flew in all directions, reflected in those calm eyes.

His claw blocked, the Hongya Cave Master swung another claw from the flank. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, his wrist turned, and the long sword directly shook the demonic claw away. Then, with a wave of the long sword, after drawing an arc in the air, it accurately struck the demonic claw.

"Clang!"

After the demonic claw and the sword's edge collided, the power that erupted separated the two instantly. The Hongya Cave Master was shaken back two steps, but Lin Xuan twisted his body, dissipating the force while turning around, and suddenly thrust the long sword in his hand straight towards the Hongya Cave Master.

The Hongya Cave Master instinctively sensed a dangerous aura. His demonic claw instantly reached out, subconsciously grabbing the sword's blade in his palm.

"Tz!"

Amidst a series of sparks, the sword's edge finally stopped less than three inches in front of the Hongya Cave Master.

Lin Xuan was not disappointed. His opponent's strength was greater than his own. How could he be hit so easily? However, his mission was mostly completed. The temperature in this snowy plain was dropping sharply, and even the wind and snow had stopped.

It was evident that the Ice Ancestor Symbol already had an owner. Now, what Lin Xuan needed to do was to ensure that this demon had no energy left to track Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu.

His eyes focused instantly, and the power within his body erupted violently. Lin Xuan turned his wrist, and formidable power was released directly from the sword's edge, breaking free from the demonic claw's restraint.

With a flick of the long sword, Lin Xuan left another sword mark on the Hongya Cave Master while also shaking the Hongya Cave Master back.

Retreating to the rear, Lin Xuan held the long sword vertically in front of him. The constantly escaping power of ice and snow rapidly converged towards the long sword. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of crystal-clear, beautiful ice crystals had formed on the ice-blue long sword!

"Ice Soul Swordplay, Thousand Miles of Ice!"

The long sword was instantly swung out, and the power of ice and snow condensed on it transformed into an ice-blue Sword Qi, flying from the sword's edge and suddenly attacking the Hongya Cave Master.

"Roar!!"

Sensing the Sword Qi that made his Demonic Heart palpitate, the Hongya Cave Master couldn't help but let out a soul-stirring demonic roar. The Demonic Qi within his body was constantly gathering towards his arms.

As the Demonic Qi continued to gather, the originally backward-pointing, ferocious barbs on those demonic arms suddenly stood up and grew abruptly longer. Moreover, many strange silver patterns appeared on the arms, eerie and bizarre.

Facing that fierce Sword Qi, the Hongya Cave Master did not dodge or evade. A pair of strange demonic arms that had undergone tremendous changes, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sunlight, fiercely grabbed towards that Sword Qi, seemingly wanting to tear that Sword Qi apart directly.

On the icy plain, the Ice Soul Sword Qi, shining with an ice-blue light, finally collided with that pair of demonic arms. The situation of tearing the Sword Qi apart, which the Hongya Cave Master had envisioned in his simple mind, did not occur. Instead, at the moment of contact, he was directly frozen.

At the moment the long sword was swung out, Lin Xuan's figure had already disappeared from the spot, following closely behind the Sword Qi, chasing towards the Hongya Cave Master.

The moment the Ice Soul Sword Qi froze the Hongya Cave Master, Lin Xuan had already arrived in front of the frozen Hongya Cave Master. The power of ice and snow was once again gathering on the long sword in his hand, about to strike down on the Hongya Cave Master.

"Ice Soul Swordplay, Snow Like Clear Sky!"

As the long sword fell, the clear and cold air had already caused the Hongya Cave Master, who had been turned into an ice sculpture, to show signs of shattering. It seemed that with this sword, the entire ice sculpture would be turned into a sky full of snowflakes, dissipating between heaven and earth.

But just as the long sword was about to fall, the ice crystals on the Hongya Cave Master's body suddenly cracked inch by inch. That pair of scarlet eyes suddenly stared at Lin Xuan, and suddenly met Lin Xuan's pair of calm, yet exceptionally firm and deep eyes.

In the next moment, the long sword in Lin Xuan's hand fell without hesitation. At the same time, the Hongya Cave Master immediately grabbed forward with his demonic claw.

"Ding!"

"Chi!"

The sound of a long sword splitting bone and the sound of sharp claws piercing flesh rang out almost simultaneously.

In the air, Lin Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest. Even knowing that he would be severely injured by the Hongya Cave Master, he did not hesitate at all. He brought his sword down, instantly splitting the Hongya Cave Master's skull open. The entire head was directly split in two, the blade stopped by the spine.

At the same time, the Hongya Cave Master's sharp claws directly pierced Lin Xuan's chest, and broken bones could be faintly seen at the ribs.

"Jie jie jie! Die!"

A sinister demonic sound came from the Hongya Cave Master's already cracked mouth. As an Otherworldly Demon, as long as the Demonic Heart remained, there would be no major life-threatening danger. Being split open was not a fatal injury.

The severe pain coming from his chest did not make Lin Xuan lose his mind. Ignoring the Hongya Cave Master's triumphant sneer, his left hand directly slapped the Hongya Cave Master's chest. Instantly, the shattered ice crystals shattered with a bang, and the figures of Lin Xuan and the Hongya Cave Master separated again.

"Cough cough!!"

Lin Xuan, who fell to the ground, knelt on one knee, propping himself up with his long sword. Two mouthfuls of pitch-black blood suddenly coughed out of his mouth, spilling onto the melting Snowy Plains, slowly congealing by the ice and snow.

Without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lin Xuan propped himself up with his long sword and slowly stood up, looking towards the Hongya Cave Master opposite him.

It could be seen that the Hongya Cave Master at this time looked far more miserable than him. Not to mention that his head was split open, there was not a single good place on his body. At the chest, the empty place only had a few ribs to protect the beating Demonic Heart.

On a pair of demonic arms, all the hideous barbs broke with the ice crystals, detaching from the arms. Even three or two fingers were missing from each hand.

However, even though he looked extremely miserable, the aura emanating from the Hongya Cave Master did not drop too much. At least, it was much stronger than Lin Xuan, whose aura was weak. The originally tit-for-tat aura had completely turned into the Hongya Cave Master's one-sided overwhelming momentum.

"Jie jie jie, Sword Saint, you will eventually die in my hands, jie jie jie!!"

A strange laughter constantly came from the Hongya Cave Master's leaking mouth. At this moment, the Hongya Cave Master, who had completely gained the upper hand, seemed to completely regard Lin Xuan as prey, wanting to play with him to avenge the splitting of his head.

"Is that so?"

But at this moment, an icy voice suddenly came from the sky. The Hongya Cave Master turned his head to look and saw two streams of light swiftly Raid coming from the horizon, carrying an aura that demons hated and feared.
