Lin Xuan realized that the Water Buffalo Spirit King Da Sheng had set his sights on him, so he simply turned his head and ran away. Like the other Heavenly Soldiers, he randomly picked an unpopulated direction and fled madly towards the edge of the battlefield.
Even if he wanted to avenge General Chen, he had to get out of this battlefield.
Not to mention the Golden Immortal early-stage Goat Spirit Yang Xian, the main problem was Yuan Hong. He was too terrifying. Even if Lin Xuan fought with his life on the line and used all his tricks, he would still be dead. He had to escape as far away as possible.
“Little bug, you think you can run?”
Da Sheng sneered cruelly. He was already extremely annoyed that this True Immortal-level Heavenly Soldier dared to look at him with such hatred and murderous intent. Now that he saw this guy trying to run, how could he allow it?
He immediately gave chase, ready to chew this Heavenly Soldier up and swallow him down!
“Wasting time on a tiny Heavenly Soldier.”
Seeing this, Goat Spirit Yang Xian glanced over without bothering to pay attention. After all, it wouldn't take long for Da Sheng to torture and kill a Heavenly Soldier, and he would be back soon enough.
After he and Da Sheng joined forces to kill General Chen, they turned their attention to other Heavenly Generals. A few Heavenly Generals, similar to General Chen, were quite troublesome and required a Golden Immortal to quickly overwhelm them before they could massacre large numbers of Heavenly Soldiers.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the entire battlefield were experiencing a one-sided rout. All the Heavenly Soldiers were fleeing in fear, but most of them couldn't escape and were killed before they could take a few steps!
On the other side, the injuries on the Giant Spirit God were getting worse. He was spitting blood, his body was bleeding profusely, and he felt like his internal organs had been displaced. Yuan Hong had beaten him so badly that his head was dizzy!
Despite his powerful physique, he was severely injured, and his physical cultivation techniques couldn't withstand it for long.
The Fire Virtue Star Monarch was even worse. He was heavily injured after a few rounds. Later, Yuan Hong felt annoyed with him, and after knocking away the Giant Spirit God, he freed his hand and swung his staff, directly hitting the Fire Virtue Star Monarch with all his strength!
The pitiful Star Monarch, once a powerful Golden Immortal, seemed weak and pathetic against Yuan Hong. He was directly killed and fell on the spot!
There was no doubt that this major Heavenly Court expedition was doomed to fail, and it was almost certain to end in complete annihilation!
…
Whoosh!
Lin Xuan moved at incredible speed, dashing across the land, his speed rivaling that of a Xuan Immortal.
He had the blue word strips ‘Divine Speed’ and ‘Wind Spirit Body’, and with his physical and spiritual cultivation bursting forth simultaneously, his speed was indeed quite fast. A layer of wind spirit power constantly surrounded him, like a gale sweeping across the land!
“This kid sure knows how to run.”
In the rear, Da Sheng chased relentlessly, feeling somewhat annoyed. He couldn't wait to flay Lin Xuan alive.
He had planned to toy with Lin Xuan a bit, but he found that this True Immortal Heavenly Soldier was too fast, not far behind him. Although Da Sheng was incredibly strong, he was not good at speed, only slightly faster than Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan constantly used the terrain to his advantage, looking for obstacles to help him escape, making it difficult to catch up.
Da Sheng decided that once he caught Lin Xuan, he would torture him mercilessly before crushing him to vent his anger!
“That’s enough. This is the place.”
Lin Xuan surveyed his surroundings, estimating the distance. He felt that he was far enough from Mount Mei, so even a Taixu Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to sense this vast area. No outsiders would arrive for a while.
Then, he abruptly stopped, his body coming to a halt, and he turned to face Da Sheng with a cold gaze. The killing intent in his eyes was about to burst forth!
General Chen might not have been a big shot, but he had shown kindness to him. He was the only person who had been so good to him. And yet, this demon had killed him. If he didn't avenge General Chen, he would forever feel guilty!
Of course, he was only at the late True Immortal stage, and to kill this Xuan Immortal late-stage demon with such a huge gap in cultivation, he had to use all his trump cards and fight with his life on the line!
“But I have three lives. Can’t I kill you?”
Lin Xuan murmured to himself, his heart cold and indifferent. With a raise of his hand, a magnificent scarlet fairy sword, radiating flowing light, appeared in his hand. He poured his magical power into it, almost to the point of exhaustion, to activate the spirit treasure’s restriction and unleash its maximum power.
The Red Cloud Sword, a low-grade innate spirit treasure!
Innate spirit treasures contained boundless power and could help him bridge the huge gap in cultivation. The Red Cloud Sword was originally an offensive spirit treasure, capable of posing a fatal threat to any Xuan Immortal!
“You little ant Heavenly Soldier, you're finally not running?”
Da Sheng was overjoyed when he saw Lin Xuan stop, thinking that he had run out of steam. He sneered cruelly.
However, upon seeing the Red Cloud Sword in Lin Xuan's hand and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from it, he immediately realized something was wrong. His laughter stopped abruptly.
Boom！！！
A wild, extremely powerful red sword light soared upwards, carrying the aura of annihilating everything and killing all beings. Lin Xuan held the Red Cloud Sword, directly charging towards Da Sheng, his face filled with determination, as if he were about to die together!
He was using all his strength, pouring everything into this attack, including his blue word strips ‘Swordsmanship’ and other abilities, to maximize the power of this sword strike!
“That’s an innate spirit treasure?!”
“How is that possible? He's just a Heavenly Soldier, how could he possess a legendary innate spirit treasure? Even our Big Brother Yuan Hong doesn’t have one!”
Feeling this terrifying power, which even made him tremble in fear, Da Sheng was dumbfounded!
However, the innate undying spirit light bursting forth from the Red Cloud Sword could not be faked. Only an innate spirit treasure could allow a True Immortal to unleash such terrifying power, directly rivaling that of a Golden Immortal!
“Even if you have an innate spirit treasure, you won't be able to turn the tide!”
He didn't have time to think. The terrifying sword energy was rushing towards him, jolting Da Sheng awake. He roared loudly, spitting out a cow bile from his belly and launching it towards Lin Xuan.
The innate spirit treasure sword was indeed powerful, and he was instinctively a bit apprehensive. However, as long as he killed this Heavenly Soldier first, it would be over. He assumed this Heavenly Soldier could only use his innate spirit treasure to defend against the cow bile attack.
Over time, the victor would still be Da Sheng. After all, it would take a True Immortal a lot of energy to activate an innate spirit treasure, and they wouldn't last long. They couldn't possibly outlast his Xuan Immortal late-stage cultivation.
The power of an innate spirit treasure was indeed heaven-defying, but it couldn't be invincible. This Heavenly Soldier was too low-level, and there was no way Da Sheng could lose!
However, once again, it was beyond his expectations. Lin Xuan didn’t dodge or block at all, and he didn’t even try to defend against the cow bile. He still charged forward with determination, holding his sword, as if he were determined to die together, carrying the aura of utter despair!
Pfft！！
The power of the cow bile was at the Xuan Immortal late-stage level. It could even kill General Chen, let alone Lin Xuan. His body was instantly pierced, and a large hole appeared, completely transparent from front to back. His life force was rapidly fading!
But the innate restriction of the Red Cloud Sword had already been activated, and it was also enhanced by the blue word strip ‘Sword Qi’. It carried violent power and pierced right through Da Sheng’s enormous body as well!
