Chapter 103: Chapter 101 He Is Not a Burden_1

From when Martial Guo Liangchen started to when Zhang Yan, the civil representative, reached a hundred feet from Master Chenghuang, the time span was just a breath. Yet, the battle within these two layers of the prison was heating up to its peak. Numerous aftershocks of the gale scattered, swirling back and forth in this subterranean space, sweeping and striking.

Li Xuan was hiding behind Xue Yunrou, his hands covered in cold sweat.

He watched with his own eyes the spirit barrier of the ‘Umbrella of Yin Yuan’ unfold and within the shortest time, it got bombarded to the thinness of a cicada’s wing by the techniques of those Taoists. Xue Yunrou’s face turned pale and lost color.

Luckily, right after Martial Guo broke the sacrificial array, he had free hands. His spear shook, emitting the shockwaves the size of a bucket. Majestic spear aura scattered in all directions, interlacing and covering the vast underground prison. In just a moment, it reduced a seventh-house level lizard demon in the distance into a meaty pulp.

This not only significantly alleviated the pressure on Civil Zhang Yan but also made the few robe-wearing spell cultivators incapable of casting spells calmly, no longer focusing all their strength against Li Xuan and Yunrou.

After turning danger into safety, Li Xuan felt relieved. He then curiously asked Tingtian Ao, standing on his shoulder, “Mr. Ao, aren’t you going to take a shot?”

After all, this is a divine general with the bloodline of a deity, appointed by Master Chenghuang himself.

“Me, fight? Who told you Tingtian can fight?” Tingtian Ao rolled his eyes, “I’m not even two hundred years old. I’m still a rookie, not much stronger than you.”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then completely lost his respect for Tingtian Ao, “Tsk, for a deity like you to go against your reputation, I had high hopes for you.”

The ‘Tianao’ he remembered was a very fierce breed of dog. Although there’s this factor of modern interpretations, at least within China’s breeds, Tianao is quite remarkable.

“Hehe,” Tingtian Ao chuckled awkwardly, “I’m just using the title of Tianao, but I mostly have the bloodline of Tingtian. Because I have the pure bloodline of a divine beast, I don’t have a knack for fighting.”

The next moment, Li Xuan could no longer concern himself with Tingtian Ao. He watched as the surrounding walls of this dungeon opened with a ‘cracking’ sound, revealing thousands of demons and evil spirits behind.

At the stairwell, countless shocking and strange beasts also surged in.

Albeit most of them just blew over and got swept away, blasted, shattered, or even vaporized by the power of civil and martial officers and those high-level demons as soon as they approached.

Still, some of them seeped in front of Xue Yunrou and Li Xuan.

Not only did Xue Yunrou fall back into the fierce battle, but Li Xuan also started to focus all his attention on the surroundings.

He couldn’t participate in the fairies’ fight in front of him, but the four to five-house level demons that flowed in around him were within his capabilities.

Although his own cultivation was only at the third house level, because of his strong Primordial Spirit, Li Xuan’s power greatly increased in this Netherworld. His single sword-strike was almost as powerful as Xue Yunrou’s spell.

He hid behind Xue Yunrou and swung his sword forward. Almost every strike hit the mark. The Zhenyuan he used was either ice or thunder. The approaching demons were either directly frozen into ice or blown to dust by thunder. Almost none could resist his sharp sword strikes. Only a few of the sixth house level managed to retreat from his sword but were all severely injured and unable to fight again.

Li Xuan found that his ‘Yi Han Chopper’ was more convenient for those demons with flesh and blood, whereas his ‘Huandian Knife’ worked better against ghosts. Those demons had no resistance to the cold, and the evil spirits were as fearful of the power of the thunder as they would be of a tiger.

As his mind became extremely focused and the fight continued, Li Xuan found himself getting more and more proficient in using the “Shi” of Martial Law, and his understanding started to evolve during the fight.

The consequence was an increase in the power of his sword technique, smoother transitions between ‘thunder’ and ‘ice’ techniques, and firmer connections. His use of Cold Evil and Shenxiao Juemie Thunder gradually changed from being novice to skilled.

Perhaps the sense of danger from a powerful enemy and intense combat really do help to unlock the potential of the human body. Just a few days ago, Li Xuan was struggling to master his blade palm technique, but now, he could do it easily.

Before, Li Xuan had been keeping one worry in mind, always keeping his ‘Evil Suppressing Gourd’ open at his waist. He remembered what Ma Chenggong had said, about earning merit on the night of the middle Yuan through the sealed evil spirits in the ‘Evil Suppressing Gourd’.

Li Xuan thought that if he could successfully escape this time, maybe he could use the remnants of the spirits in the ‘Evil Suppressing Gourd’ to exchange for another Liudao Renyuan Elixir. However, after this intense battle continued for a while, Li Xuan became totally absorbed and could no longer be distracted by anything else.

Now, he was no longer hiding behind Xue Yunrou, he began to strike proactively, using the ‘Unsettling Divine Thunder’ technique he had learned up to the fifth move and patrolling around the area. The dense light of his blade sprayed out in all directions, relieving Xue Yunrou’s pressure as much as he could.

“This guy——”

Distracted by Li Xuan’s big movements, Tingtian Ao, who had already jumped onto Xue Yunrou’s shoulder, couldn’t help but stare. It observed every move of Li Xuan with astonishment flashing in its eyes.

It thought that if Li Xuan hadn’t wasted too many of his previous eighteen years, his current cultivation and combat power would not be inferior to Jiang Hanyun, and were more likely to be superior.

Its previous claim that its fighting power was approximately equal to Li Xuan’s could already be considered a joke.

Xue Yunrou’s eyes also revealed a constant surprise. The strength and number of their enemies in this battle were far beyond her expectation. Her Mana was depleting like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, she had already used nearly half of it.

However, the battle power shown by Li Xuan was unexpectedly strong. Not only did he not become the burden she expected, but he was also exceptionally reliable, responsible for nearly ninety percent of the damage in the battle.

Especially those demons at the sixth house level, Xue Yunrou had to defend in all directions, simply unable to spare enough extra strength to kill them.

Li Xuan’s blade, however, was terrifying. Each slash sent out rays of lightning and the cold evil spirit, making those demons at the sixth house level dare not to approach easily.

Xue Yunrou thought to herself that she had underestimated Li Xuan. This man, a little over a year older than her, was nothing like the playboy she initially thought he was.

At this moment, when her Mana was about to be exhausted, Xue Yunrou hesitated a little and hurriedly took an elixir from her sleeve and put it into her mouth.

Just at that moment, a black arrow suddenly came flying in, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Xue Yunrou.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yunrou’s face instantly changed. This attack was like a strike from a venomous snake, not only swift like lightning, but it also came when she was distracted with getting the elixir, leaving her no power to defend.

At that instant, she even envisioned herself being severely injured by this attack.

But then she saw a tall figure blocking her.

“Don’t just stand there, both our lives depend on you now.”

Li Xuan swung a knife and struck the arrow. But his strength was far inferior, the blade of his knife was chipped, and the arrow, still with leftover momentum, struck him.

Despite the ‘Kuiniu luminous armor’ on his body, blood still seeped from the corner of Li Xuan’s mouth. However, he only slid back a few steps before returning to Xue Yunrou’s side.
