Although he had researched the special nature of Lin Xiao's cultivation technique, he never imagined Lin Xiao could absorb his spiritual energy so forcefully.
What was crucial was that he couldn't move his leg at all; his body seemed to be entirely controlled by Lin Xiao.
"Junior brother! Help me!"
In his panic, he could only cry out for assistance.
At this rate, all the spiritual energy he had painstakingly accumulated through cultivation would be devoured by Lin Xiao in less than two hours!
Instantly, all the protrusions from the ground shot towards Lin Xiao like cannonballs!
"Your junior brother might end up killing you too with that."
Lin Xiao said, extending his other hand, palm open, towards the ground below.
The protrusions stopped three inches before his palm. Then, losing their impetus, they all transformed into ordinary soil and fell to the ground.
Elder Fang realized that things were escalating beyond their expectations.
What method had Lin Xiao used?
He had never heard of any cultivation technique capable of this. Could it be related to the item on Lin Xiao?
Seeing his attack neutralized, his junior brother could no longer afford to hesitate. His three-foot-long sword was instantly unsheathed, transforming into a streak of light that shot directly towards Lin Xiao's heart!
However, it happened again.
Just like before, Lin Xiao extended his hand, and all the force was nullified and absorbed.
The sword fell back into his junior brother's hand.
The junior brother spat out a mouthful of blood. In that very instant, the connection between him and his sword was severed.
The sword, once filled with spiritual essence, was now like an ordinary fine steel short sword.
This scene had already stunned the two brothers.
This was completely beyond their comprehension.
"Elder Fang!"
The senior brother felt his spiritual energy draining rapidly, his voice completely devoid of its former composure, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Elder Fang didn't hesitate. He charged towards Lin Xiao.
Even without knowing a better way to counter, he understood that against Lin Xiao, spiritual energy seemed to have become a burden.
This time, Lin Xiao opened his hand, pointing it at Elder Fang.
The spiritual energy he had just absorbed began to converge in his hand in a different form.
A ball of black energy materialized in Lin Xiao's hand and, less than a second later, was fired at Elder Fang.
No!
The thought flashed through Elder Fang's mind.
He could only sense danger from this ball of black energy.
It was something that threatened his life!
He quickly dodged.
BOOM!
The ball of black energy exploded on the ground. In the aftermath of the blast, Elder Fang's body was thrown out of control.
What kind of power was this?
Impossible!
How could Lin Xiao possess such immense power right after breaking through?!
Even Lin Xiao himself was forced to adjust his stance amidst the violent explosion, evading its aftershocks.
This also gave the senior brother an opportunity. He quickly broke free from Lin Xiao's grasp and retreated a hundred meters in haste.
"Why did you leave so soon?"
Lin Xiao looked at his hand with disappointment. By letting go, he had lost a perfect tonic.
However, the spiritual energy absorbed during that time had reached one-tenth of his capacity, which was satisfactory.
This senior brother's reserves were quite substantial, weren't they?
