Elder Fang’s gaze fell on Lin Xiao’s hand. It was a pitch-black military knife, which surprisingly remained unaffected by any of the domains. Moreover, the killing intent emanating from this knife was even more terrifying than Lin Xiao himself.
"So, you too have a spiritual artifact. The Dragon Lord treats you well, preparing one for you early on." Elder Fang's face was grim. If Lin Xiao's cultivation hadn't broken through, and if not for the Dragon Lord's warning, he wouldn't have wanted to make a move against Lin Xiao.
Even now, he wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if either the Heavenly Master or the Dragon Lord arrived, he wouldn't be able to afford to offend them.
"This one?"
Lin Xiao played with the military knife in his hand. "It's just an ordinary knife, but it's been with me for five or six years. I've killed nearly ten thousand people with this knife."
The knife was truly sharp. Even after he had personally killed nearly ten thousand people, the blade of the knife remained as good as new.
"An artifact with a spirit..."
Elder Fang frowned. Suddenly, he understood. "Nourished by blood. Even a common item should become a spiritual artifact."
Blood, not just the blood of those nearly ten thousand people, but also Lin Xiao’s own blood.
"Looks like I'm lucky? To have gotten a spiritual artifact even before Qi Tian." Lin Xiao said. He raised his knife again. His target was simple: this Elder Fang.
From the looks of it, this guy was the strongest among the three. Perfect, he could test his own abilities.
On the other side, Zhang Wuwei, under the protection of the Golden Light Mantra, had already darted into the shrunken version of the Kui Tian Sect’s mountain gate almost instantly.
To be precise, from darting in to breaking through directly, Zhang Wuwei had only taken a little over ten seconds.
As he thrust his sword towards Elder Fang, Lin Xiao's knife arrived at the same time.
How is this possible?!
A trace of horror flashed in Elder Fang’s eyes. How could Zhang Wuwei possess such immense strength?!
"Presumptuous!"
The two disciples beside Elder Fang simultaneously roared and attacked. One moved to intercept Zhang Wuwei, while the other blocked Lin Xiao.
"Oh?"
Zhang Wuwei was being held back. After a few exchanges, he retreated a short distance, then looked at the person in front of him with some curiosity. "I thought Elder Fang would bring the cream of the crop from the outer disciples. I didn't expect it to be an inner disciple? Lin Xiao, are you still alive?"
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and forced his opponent back with a powerful slash. Feeling a surge of blood, he retreated to Zhang Wuwei's side. "Still alive."
His opponent was very strong. Even without the Heavenly Net, if he had been the slightest bit careless, he would have been captured by that person.
Moreover, the military knife in his hand couldn't threaten this person. It seemed there was a strange power around him, and every time his knife neared, its trajectory would be altered by this power.
"The Kui Tian Sect is quite attentive to you. This time they sent two inner disciples and this outer elder," Zhang Wuwei said, feeling a lack of confidence now.
The strength of the inner disciples... In those few breaths of engagement, he could feel immense pressure.
If he had been even slightly lax just now, he might have been killed on the spot.
Their raw strength was superior to his.
Fortunately, all these people were still within his domain. As long as they hadn't realized the full effect of his domain, he still had a chance to win.
"Elder Fang, are you alright?"
