The head exploded, filling the air with blood mist, which then dissipated into wisps of white smoke.
The old man in the black robe was stunned by the scene before him.
He never expected that this young man would be so resolute, willing to sacrifice himself to drag others down with him.
A cold smile appeared on his face.
"Little brat, you shouldn't have gotten yourself into so much trouble. Since you're so irresponsible, you might as well just die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man in black robes flashed forward and pounced on Lin Xi.
An unparalleled power erupted from his body.
This old man in black robes actually used his own power to condense a towering mountain.
That mountain was at least a hundred feet high.
The enormous black skull roared to the sky and charged toward Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi saw the mountain, his heart skipped a beat.
The mountain was so powerful that even he dared not take its attack head-on.
Lin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, veins bulging, and let out a low shout.
"All swords return to their origin!"
Dazzling sword beams streaked through the void.
The sword beams transformed into sharp sword light, blooming into magnificent flowers in the air.
The mountain that the old man in black robes was built was pierced by this dazzling sword light.
A series of loud noises echoed in the void.
The enormous black mountain collapsed completely.
The sword lights continued to sweep towards the old man in black robes.
A hint of panic flashed across the old man's face.
His expression changed drastically, and terror flashed in his eyes.
Although he was a Yuan Dan realm expert, he only had the strength of the sixth level of the Yuan Dan realm, and was no match for Lin Xi at all.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he threw the black spear in his hand away.
The black spear transformed into a streak of black light, shooting towards the dazzling sword light...
The spear pierced straight through the sword light.
A terrifying recoil sent Lin Xi flying, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
At this moment, Lin Xi felt that the true essence in his body was being rapidly depleted.
His face was as pale as paper, and it felt as if his internal organs were shattered. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
His body was covered with shocking cracks.
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?! Why is it absorbing my true energy?!"
Lin Xi felt a surge of anger as he examined his internal body. He, a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator, was utterly powerless against a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator!
"You little bastard, die!"
The old man in black robes charged at Lin Xi again, thrusting out his spear once more.
Lin Xi's body trembled as the spear pierced through him once more.
Blood was gushing from his body, which appeared to have been severely injured.
His face was deathly pale, but his eyes still gleamed with an indomitable light as he stared coldly at the old man in black robes.
He understood that he had to fight to the very end today to have a chance of winning.
"Hmph! Aren't you so arrogant?"
The old man in black robes sneered: "So what if you're powerful? Do you think you can stand on equal footing with us just because you're only at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Wishful thinking! You're going to die today!"
The old man in the black robe spoke with extreme coldness, filled with a chilling murderous intent.
Lin Xi snorted coldly and did not respond.
He knew that speaking now would only make the other person more disgusted, and the result would only be worse.
Lin Xi's gaze was fixed on the old man in the black robe.
This old man in black robes had actually reached the seventh level of the Yuan Dan realm.
Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat.
This old man in black robes definitely has the strength to kill an eighth-level Yuan Dan realm expert.
"Haha! You little bastard, stop dreaming. Your strength isn't even worth me revealing my trump card!"
The old man in the black robe spoke with utter contempt.
Although this young man has some skills, he is still far behind them.
These ancient artifacts have an extremely long lifespan; they are over a thousand years old.
Each of them was at the pinnacle of martial arts, an invincible figure.
They have lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years, while Lin Xi is only a little over a hundred years old.
In their eyes, Lin Xi was just a young kid who wasn't worthy of their attention.
Lin Xi took a deep breath, and his true energy began to circulate wildly within his body.
"Open it for me!"
He suddenly spoke, shouting loudly.
Ripples spread across Lin Xi's body, surging like a tidal wave.
The ripples instantly engulfed everyone around them.
The old man in black robes and the other two old men in black robes were directly submerged by the ripples.
A drop of bright red blood slid down Lin Xi's lips.
A determined glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward.
"I said I would walk out of this forest alive!"
A cold smile flickered across Lin Xi's face...
His steps were light and powerful, and he vanished from his spot in an instant, like an arrow shot from a bow. His figure left an afterimage as he swiftly rushed towards a dense forest.
The old man in the black robe and the others reacted in that instant.
"Chase!"
"Kill him!"
"We can't let him get away!"
The old man in black robes gave chase first, his face ashen. He was incredibly fast, catching up with Lin Xi in the blink of an eye. The black spear thrust forward fiercely.
A fierce glint flashed across Lin Xi's brow. He gripped the spear tightly with both hands and shook it away with all his might. He staggered and ran wildly into the distance.
"Hmph, where do you think you're going!"
The old man in black robes snorted coldly and used another secret technique, which greatly increased his speed.
"Kid, you can't escape now, kneel down!"
"Kid, did you hear me? Kneel down!"
The old man in black robes caught up again, shouting and cursing. Lin Xi's body accelerated, moving at an astonishing speed.
"Damn it, kneel down now!"
The old man's eyes blazed with fury. He recklessly activated his secret technique and unleashed another secret method, causing his speed to increase dramatically.
Lin Xi watched the old man approach, a cold smile curving his lips. He clenched his right fist and punched out suddenly, the force of his fist gathering on it.
These punches seemed capable of tearing everything apart. Bang! Lin Xi's fist slammed directly into the black-robed old man's chest. It all happened so suddenly that the old man had no time to dodge. He was sent flying by Lin Xi, spitting out blood as he flew backward.
His body crashed into a tree, breaking it as he fell to the ground, fracturing one arm.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
The old man in black robes got up from the ground, glaring at Lin Xi with murderous intent that was almost tangible in his eyes. The two old men behind him quickly caught up as well.
Lin Xi vanished from his spot in a flash. The old man in black robes didn't hesitate and immediately gave chase. Explosions rang out one after another, and tall trees collapsed instantly.
Lin Xi traversed the jungle. This forest was extremely eerie, and Lin Xi couldn't determine his location. Suddenly, the ground ahead violently cracked open. Lin Xi froze, quickly stopping in his tracks.
