Evil spirit!
The crimson color was not from sword energy, but from the convergence of demonic energy. This was a true demon, likely a member of the demon race.
Lin Xuan watched the blood-red demonic energy slashing down at lightning speed, but he showed no emotion whatsoever.
Because he had long suspected that someone was hiding in the shadows.
However, he didn't know it was a demon before, and thought it was a powerful demon.
Hidden in the shadows, patiently waiting for the opportune moment when he had killed the eight demons and lowered his guard, he planned to deliver a fatal blow.
Unfortunately, the demon had no idea that his whereabouts had already been exposed.
Lin Xuan's divine sense far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he locked onto his aura.
However, he did not expose the truth directly. Instead, he turned the tables and, after killing the eight demons of the Longevity Sect, pretended to turn around and leave.
Their real purpose was to lure that person into making a move.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Xuan sneered as he watched the surging demonic energy. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and with a thought, flames instantly ignited within him.
It is the fire of the earth's soul.
It directly protected Lin Xuan's entire body, and the moment the blood-red demonic energy flew over, it instantly erupted into towering flames.
Then it forcefully burned away all the demonic energy.
"Innate spiritual fire, damn it..."
A low growl echoed from the void.
The next moment!
A phantom figure vanished like a streak of light.
It was the demon that had ambushed Lin Xuan. After missing its target, it realized Lin Xuan's strength and fled without hesitation.
That's quite decisive.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan wouldn't let him have his way.
He chuckled coldly, then pulled out a large bow and fired an arrow at the fleeing demon.
Whoosh whoosh...
The arrow pierced the sun like a rainbow, carrying with it the terrifying power of wind and thunder.
It tore the sky apart, creating a terrifying storm, and then pierced through the demon's body.
Boom... Bang...
With a flash of arrow light, the demon's illusory body exploded.
However, the demon did not die.
His body exploded, and the blood and flesh scattered everywhere strangely coalesced into one piece, and he was resurrected once again.
However, the already illusory body looked even more illusory.
It's as if it might drift away at any moment.
Lin Xuan frowned, refrained from attacking, and instead stepped forward, using the Wind and Thunder Light Escape Technique to chase after the demon.
His speed is terrifying.
Although the demon was constantly on the run and had already gotten ahead of the others.
But Lin Xuan kept up and quickly closed the distance.
The demon was so frightened that its face turned pale. After glancing back at Lin Xuan, it roared angrily, "Damn it, Lin Xuan... I've already surrendered and tried to escape, why are you still chasing after me?"
You were born in the Year of the Dog, weren't you?
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan felt as if his lungs were about to explode.
This bastard, you can ambush me all you want, but now you think I can't kill you?
"You beast, if I don't kill you today, I'll take your surname from now on."
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.
Rumble...
With a thought, wind and thunder roared beneath his feet, instantly doubling his speed and closing the distance between him and the demon by half.
Now the two are less than a kilometer apart.
Moreover, this distance is rapidly decreasing.
"Damn it, Lin Xuan... spare me, and I can give you a great opportunity..."
The demon trembled and growled through gritted teeth.
He was genuinely terrified. Lin Xuan's strength had exceeded his expectations, and if he were caught up, he would likely meet a bad end.
However, Lin Xuan was determined to kill him, so why would he care about these temptations?
His expression remained unchanged as he looked at the guy as if he were an idiot.
His foot speed suddenly increased by three points out of nowhere.
They closed the distance to the demon even further, leaving them less than 800 meters away.
Then, it's 500 meters.
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
...
And so, when there were less than a hundred meters left, the demon stopped, turned around and glared at Lin Xuan, its demonic aura surging and boiling, and it gritted its teeth and growled: "Lin Xuan, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
You are strong, but I am not weak either.
If it really comes down to a fight, the outcome is still uncertain...
"Then you are welcome to try and see how many cuts it will take me to kill you."
Lin Xuan chuckled, and with a flick of his wrist, the Jingzhe Blade appeared in his hand, pointing at the demon opposite him. Rolling thunderous power surged forth, exuding destructive might.
This immediately made the demon's face even more unpleasant.
"A Sun-level spiritual artifact? How is this possible...?"
He recognized the extraordinary nature of Lin Xuan's Jingzhe Blade and let out an incredulous growl.
I'm filled with deep regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to ambush Lin Xuan.
They originally thought they had gotten a great deal, that killing Lin Xuan, a human prodigy already listed among the demons outside Shanhaiguan, would bring them a lot of credit.
Who would have thought that Lin Xuan's strength was so abnormal?
How the hell do you play this?
"Lin Xuan, do you know that because you're too arrogant, you've become a notorious figure outside Shanhaiguan Pass? Do you know how many people want you dead?"
The demon gritted its teeth and said coldly, "If you insist on fighting me, even if you can kill me, you will definitely be injured."
Now that the divine position has been established, if you are injured, it means you have lost your qualification to compete for the divine position.
How about we make a deal?
Let me leave, and I can help you remove you from the kill list, how about it..."
