With a single swing of the blade, a faint ripple emanated from the void.
An extremely dangerous aura surged from the black greatsword.
With a single slash, the black broadsword seemed to transform into a black ribbon, tearing through space and fiercely slashing towards Lin Xi!
A dazzling blade of light, carrying boundless terrifying power, instantly enveloped Lin Xi.
The flash of the blade carried an aura of destruction, seemingly capable of annihilating everything and tearing all things to shreds.
"What a terrifying aura! Is this the power of a Yuan artifact?"
"This power is terrifying!"
Lin Xi's expression turned extremely serious.
Being so close, he felt the terrifying power within the flashing blade.
Ripples spread out continuously, tearing the surrounding void to pieces.
Lin Xi's expression was extremely serious.
He lightly touched the ground, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he reappeared, but on the other side of the flashing blade.
The blade missed its target, striking a nearby building with a deafening crash.
The old man in the black robe's pupils suddenly contracted.
Without hesitation, he slashed at Lin Xi with his sword again.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xi's expression changed again.
This blade of light was even more ferocious and faster than before!
He had to use the Wind Shadow Step to dodge, otherwise he would definitely not have been able to withstand this attack.
But he overlooked one fact...
The trajectory of that blade was truly unexpected.
As Lin Xi dodged, the blade's direction changed, appearing to his left before shifting position again.
Lin Xi's body was lightly grazed by the blade, and blood splattered.
"Damn it!"
He roared, turned around quickly, and brandished his longsword.
Streaks of sword light shot out from his sword, forming a dense net of swords that enveloped the old man in black robes.
"Hmph! Little trick!"
The old man in black robes didn't care at all, casually waving his longsword and easily destroying the sword nets.
He sneered, "Lin Xi, I advise you to just surrender obediently!"
Lin Xi snorted, flicked his arm, and a black talisman flew out of his hand, turning into a large net.
A large black net fell down, covering the entire room.
"Haha, you think you can trap me like this?"
The old man in black robes sneered, "I advise you to give up resisting, so you won't suffer later!"
A dark look crossed Lin Xi's face as he said, "I'd like to see what you're capable of that makes me surrender!" The old man in black robes was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Xi to be so stubborn, preferring to suffer torture rather than submit.
"You're asking for it!"
Enraged, the old man in black robes gripped his broadsword and slashed at Lin Xi once more.
Black lightning flashed in the void. With a single strike, space twisted and shattered, seemingly unable to withstand the power of the blow and breaking apart completely.
Two world-shaking sword lights collided, causing the very space to tremble.
A crisp cracking sound immediately rang out in the void.
The next second, tiny cracks spread through the void, expanding in all directions.
Lin Xi's expression immediately changed.
This old man in black robes was indeed extraordinary; the power of his single strike was terrifying.
Bang!
Lin Xi was knocked back a few steps, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
His face was pale and his expression was grim. He thought to himself, "This old man in black robes is indeed not simple. If we fight him head-on, I'm afraid I will definitely lose!"
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately turned around to run away.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
The old man in black robes snorted coldly and swung his broadsword again.
The blade flashed through the air.
The light of the blade collided with the light of Lin Xi's fist, creating an incomparably dazzling black mist.
The area was completely shrouded in black mist.
Lin Xi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale instantly.
He was sent flying backwards, tumbling several times in the air before finally regaining his balance.
His face looked very pale.
Although the blow did not cause fatal damage, his internal organs suffered a severe impact, and all his internal organs were damaged to some extent.
"This person is incredibly strong!"
A hint of awe flickered deep in Lin Xi's eyes.
Seeing this, the old man in black robes smiled faintly and said, "Lin Xi, you'd better surrender! If you obey me, I might spare your life."
"Dream on!"
Lin Xi roared, his body instantly growing larger, his eyes turning bloodshot, and his clothes billowing on their own even without wind. His arms rapidly expanded, becoming like two iron pillars. He was tall and muscular, his muscles as hard as rock. Behind him, an ancient stone tablet miraculously appeared, shaking heaven and earth.
The stone tablet exuded a solemn and vast aura, as if containing the origin of the world and infinite mysteries, making Lin Xi's aura even stronger, seemingly capable of devouring everything. He roared to the sky, his voice booming and echoing in all directions, causing many experts watching from afar to involuntarily cover their ears. This roar seemed to shake one's soul, instilling fear in everyone.
The old man in black robes showed surprise on his face.
"How is this possible?!"
Lin Xi's figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of the old man. He threw a punch, the violent force like a mountain pressing down, impossible to withstand. The old man's body was immediately blasted away, his legs plunging into the ground. With a deafening roar, the ground cracked, burying him deep in the earth. A thick fissure extended from beneath him. He struggled a few times, but couldn't break free from the earth's hold.
"Oh no, we're trapped!"
The black-robed elder's expression changed drastically. He was very strong, capable of fighting even against a Great Emperor-level expert. But against this unfathomable monster, he was utterly powerless to resist.
Lin Xi swung his spear again, thrusting it at the black-robed elder. A layer of black light appeared on the elder's body, blocking the spear tip. The spear blade struck the light barrier, producing a metallic clang. This light barrier was so hard that it almost shattered Lin Xi's spear. Intense flames erupted from the spear blade, directly incinerating the light barrier.
"This guy is even stronger than that old man," Lin Xi thought to himself. The black-robed old man was at the second level of the Great Emperor realm, while the one before him was a true peak three-star Great Emperor. Lin Xi understood that defeating the black-robed old man was virtually impossible. His strength was far from sufficient to challenge a three-star Great Emperor.
Lin Xi continued his attack on the black-robed elder with his spear. However, this time, the spearhead failed to penetrate the light barrier, blocked by a powerful force. Lin Xi was blasted away, landing more than ten feet away. His face was even more ashen, and blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.
"You're asking for it!"
The old man in black robes had icy eyes, a cold glint in them. He gripped his broadsword and slowly approached Lin Xi.
"I don't believe in superstition!"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a crazed light. He stood up, flicked his wrist, and charged forward with his broadsword once more.
