Chapter 72 A Match?
Under the moonlight.
Lin Xuan looked carefully at Shentu Longteng's familiar face and said: "I know that if I don't have a match with you, you will probably keep pestering me until I lose my patience and spar with you!"
"Saint Son Lin actually understands my temperament quite well. Have you perhaps investigated my news in private!"
Shentu Longteng said with some surprise in his eyes.
"With the prestige of the Third Young Master of the Shentu Family, is there a need to specially investigate?"
Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
"You are an interesting person. Since you know my temperament, let's not delay. Let us start right now!"
Shentu Longteng stretched the limbs of his body, saying with eagerness to try in his eyes.
"Wait, I can spar with you, but we do not need brute force or spells. Instead, let's compete in foot speed!"
Lin Xuan said.
"Foot speed?"
"How do we compete?"
Shentu Longteng froze and asked subconsciously.
"It is very simple. Two hundred and ten thousand miles southwest of the Demon Cloud Ridge, there is a large lake. At the bottom of the lake is a ten-thousand-year Black Tortoise. Whoever can obtain that Black Tortoise's Beast Core will be the winning side!"
Lin Xuan said.
"Just run a distance and kill a Black Tortoise, it is that simple?"
Shentu Longteng pursued the question.
"Mm, that Black Tortoise is a Nascent Soul Realm beast!"
Lin Xuan seemed to be emphasizing that this matter was not as simple as he said.
"Tch, a mere Nascent Soul Realm Black Tortoise. I could shatter its shell with one hand!"
"By the way, if I win this time, I get to choose the location. You must have a good fight with me. You should know that the first and second Saint Sons of the Nine Heavens Holy Land have both fought with me!"
Shentu Longteng said.
"Everything is up to you!"
Lin Xuan did not say much more.
"Then, when do we start?"
Shentu Longteng asked.
"Now!"
Lin Xuan replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Whoosh!
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, Shentu Longteng transformed into a streak of resplendent shocking light and sped away towards the southwest.
"Hahaha, I, the young master, will go ahead first!"
Shentu Longteng's excited laughter came from the distance, his voice filled with confidence.
Lin Xuan, however, remained stopped in place, as if the match he just spoke of was a performance.
What Lin Xuan proposed was not a problem. However, what he did not mention was that beneath that lake was hidden a remnant treasure left behind when a Myriad Longevity Realm Mad God fell. That held immense benefits for him.
Lin Xuan did not want to see those people who died tragically in the game before die again. Now that he had transmigrated into the game which had evolved into a real fantasy world, the trajectory of all gears of fate would change.
At this time.
Shentu Longteng, who had already flown out dozens of miles, probed backward with his spiritual consciousness but did not see Lin Xuan's figure chasing up. However, he did not think much of it. The bet was already set, and he was not afraid that Lin Xuan, as a Saint Son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, would renege.
With a thought, Shentu Longteng took out a flying spirit boat from his storage bag. The whole boat was shuttle-shaped, and its escape speed was comparable to the full-speed flight of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
He injected spiritual energy into the spirit boat. The nearly three-zhang-long greenish boat's array patterns suddenly lit up.
The next moment, it turned into a streak of green shocking light and disappeared into the night.
As for Lin Xuan, he traveled non-stop in the opposite direction, speeding away. These demonic beasts that escaped from the Demon Cloud Ridge really did not let one have peace, and they were extremely difficult for ordinary Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples to deal with.
Half a day later.
The sky gradually brightened.
Lin Xuan also arrived at the destination, Qingye Town.
It was a small town spanning only a dozen miles or so.
However, when Lin Xuan arrived, he saw three Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples lying wounded on the ground on a hillside outside the town. There was also a young man dressed in brown splendid clothes stepping on the face of one of the Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples, his face full of disdain.
"Disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, you only have this much ability? No wonder my old man told me to provoke you less. I don't understand why our dignified Shentu Family should fear you weaklings!"
Shentu Changfeng said with a sarcastic tone, looking high-spirited.
Lin Xuan opened the system's inspection function.
Nickname: Shentu Changfeng
Race: Human Race
Level: Golden Core Realm Second Heaven
"It's this bastard of the Shentu family!"
After confirming Shentu Changfeng's name, a trace of killing intent flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
In the previous life.
The reason Shentu City was destroyed was because this Fourth Young Master of the Shentu family was greedy for life and afraid of death, becoming a running dog for the demon race. He cooperated with the demon race from the inside and outside to break through the city's defensive formation. Inside Shentu City, over eighty percent of the millions of human races were killed or injured, truly completely becoming rations for the demon race's livestock.
This also caused Shentu Longteng to lose his life.
Everything was thanks to this Shentu Changfeng.
"Big liar, is that guy a bad person? It is the first time I feel such a powerful angry emotion from you!"
Xiao Yu said.
Because Xiao Yu was cultivated from a plant, her nature was simple, and she could also sense the emotional changes of other living beings.
But Lin Xuan did not reply to Xiao Yu. A pair of his eyes stared straight at Shentu Changfeng.
Next, facing the dawn light of the early morning, Lin Xuan's figure smashed directly onto the hillside. The Creation Divine Dragon Art operated frantically, causing slightly pink and hard scales to begin growing on his body and arms, protecting his whole body.
Bang!
The instant Lin Xuan's figure crashed onto the ground, he was like an arrow leaving the string, charging towards Shentu Changfeng.
The two Refining Void Realm guards protecting Shentu Changfeng, seeing this situation, wanted to take action to intercept Lin Xuan.
"Xiao Yu, tie up these two Refining Void Realm guys for me!"
Lin Xuan waved his hand casually, summoned Xiao Yu from his storage ring, and instructed her.
"Understood!"
Xiao Yu nodded at him.
Pupupu!
From under the feet of the two Shentu family's Refining Void Realm elders, strips of tough emerald vines suddenly broke out of the ground. They wrapped around their bodies at a fast speed, binding the two in place, making them unable to move an inch.
And Shentu Changfeng, with a face full of arrogance, directly felt his vision go black as a powerful strong wind arrived in an instant.
At the same time, in Shentu Changfeng's line of sight, he saw a claw-shaped hand ruthlessly clamp down on his fragile neck area. The hands, like iron pincers, got closer and closer.
Even on the hillside where dust was flying, harsh sounds of bone breaking could be heard.
"You... you... can't kill me. I am the son of the Shentu family. Our Shentu family is one of the four great families of the human race. If you kill me, you definitely won't be able to escape either!"
Shentu Changfeng's entire face was flushed red. Being pressed firmly to the ground by Lin Xuan, every struggle seemed so pale and powerless.
"Hehe. A scum of the human race like you, regardless of your identity, what background you have, or what defying-heaven inheritance you possess, if I see one I will kill one, if I see two I will kill a pair!"
Hearing Shentu Changfeng's resounding threat, the killing intent in Lin Xuan's expression grew a few points stronger.
