The next day.
Situ Ye: "Lin Xuan, today is the day you die!"
"Enough with the nonsense. You said the same thing yesterday, and yet here I am. I won't die today either." Lin Xuan's complexion was slightly pale, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.
At this moment, Xie Feiran and some members of the Seven Stars Sword Sect stood by Lin Xuan's side, ready to fight alongside him.
Xie Feiran said, "You people from the Heavenly Demon Sect are relentless, but don't think you can bully Lin Xuan this time. We're not defenseless."
Su Luo chuckled, "Haha, it seems Lin Xuan is struggling and needs your help."
Liao Duci added, "That's right. This time, the demon beast army and our Heavenly Demon Sect are joining forces to deal with you. You won't be able to handle it."
Situ Ye sneered, "Even with a few more useless allies, Lin Xuan, your situation won't improve. Today, you will die."
Xie Feiran declared, "We will carve a path through the bloodshed."
And so, the battle resumed.
However, Su Luo felt that something was still off.
Qing Bukuang and the others weren't using their full strength, which was one thing.
But what about Lin Xuan's side? Were they also holding back?
What are you all playing at? Why not take advantage of Qing Bukuang's hesitation and finish them off?
Of course, they couldn't. Qing Bukuang and the others were key figures in the Heavenly Demon Sect. If they were killed, the rest might flee at the first sign of trouble.
The Seven Stars Sword Sect wasn't confident enough to ensure that no one would escape.
So, while they didn't go all out against the Heavenly Demon Seven, they ruthlessly slaughtered the other members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, all without the Seven noticing.
"Su Luo! You think you're the only one with grievances? We have them too. You've always targeted us, causing the deaths of so many of our brothers. Today, I will avenge them!"
Xie Feiran unleashed a Seven Stars Whirlwind Slash directly at Su Luo.
Su Luo pointed at Xie Feiran, "It's not your turn yet. Why are you in such a hurry to die?"
Suddenly, Xie Feiran was sent flying backward.
"What... what kind of treasure did you use?"
"I didn't use anything."
Su Luo was puzzled. He had intended to take Xie Feiran down in one move, as Xie Feiran's current strength was no match for him. He wasn't Lin Xuan, after all, and his progress was slow.
Su Luo could easily finish him off with a single strike.
But before he could even act, Xie Feiran had already fallen.
"Hmph, you're not worthy of making a scene here," Su Luo said coldly. Whatever, if he wants to fall, let him fall.
Qing Bukuang and Liao Duci exchanged glances. Perfect, Su Luo had used another treasure. The more he used, the sooner he would meet his end.
The battle continued, and Su Luo felt like they were all just here to annoy him.
Lin Xuan's side was holding back, and so were the Heavenly Demon Seven. What exactly were they here for?
Especially the Heavenly Demon Seven. Every time it seemed like they were about to clash, the Seven would dodge and evade, refusing to engage.
Su Luo wanted to scream, "Do you even know how to fight? Where's the confidence you had before? Is this all you've got? Don't embarrass yourselves."
Not long after, Lin Xuan and his group suddenly fled, heading towards Lone River Peak.
"Hahaha, Lin Xuan, even you have to flee in disgrace. After them!" Su Luo shouted with glee, giving chase.
However, only Su Luo was pursuing them.
Feeling something was off, he stopped.
Su Luo turned back to look at the other Seven, "What's wrong? Isn't this the perfect time to press the advantage?"
"No need to rush. He's just retreating, not leaving. The demon beast army is behind them. We're not the ones who need to hurry."
Qing Bukuang sheathed his sword and turned to leave gracefully.
"Hey, isn't this the perfect chance to kill Lin Xuan? Are you just going to let him go?" Su Luo was still unwilling to give up.
Hurry up and finish him off, so I can go home.
If this is how you're going to fight, you might as well have waited until the third day to make your move. We've been at this for hours and accomplished nothing. What's the point?
But none of the Seven listened to Su Luo.
"Su Luo, don't be impatient. Killing Lin Xuan step by step can be quite enjoyable," Liao Duci said with a mysterious smile.
"That's right. Our past failures have taught us not to underestimate Lin Xuan," Situ Ye added.
"Exactly. Who knows if he has an ambush waiting for us? We need to be cautious," Xu Wuliang chimed in.
Su Luo shook his head. Was he hallucinating? Since when did Situ Ye and Xu Wuliang talk like this?
But since they weren't attacking, Su Luo had no choice. It seemed they would have to wait until the third day to finish this.
Fine, I'll wait until tomorrow. I might as well have waited until the third day to join in. What a waste of time.
Su Luo followed them back.
The third day.
The sect leader did some calculations. It was about time. Even if they revealed their full strength now, they could still wipe them all out.
"Get ready, Lin Xuan. Today, we fight without holding back!"
"Alright."
Lin Xuan was in excellent condition, as he hadn't been fighting non-stop, and the supplies brought by the sect leader were plentiful.
It was time to settle things with the Heavenly Demon Seven.
As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, they encountered the Heavenly Demon Seven.
Lin Xuan took the initiative, "Alright, alright, I know. Today is the day I die, so come at me."
Qing Bukuang remained calm, "So, you're in a hurry? The demon beast army behind you must be putting a lot of pressure on you."
"No need to worry about that."
"I wasn't worried."
The Seven attacked, and this time, they finally showed a bit more seriousness.
However, not long after, before the battle even reached its peak, Su Luo was once again the focus.
Cui Baiquan said, "Su Luo, hurry up and use your treasure!"
Su Luo snapped back, "I don't have any left. I used them all."
You want to rely on me? What about the new techniques you developed? Save them for your funeral.
Qing Bukuang wanted to laugh, but he was more afraid that Su Luo was lying. This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate both Lin Xuan and Su Luo. He couldn't afford to be careless.
He decided to wait and see.
The battle continued, but Lin Xuan's attacks were stronger than the previous two days. Clearly, he was aiming to kill the Seven.
Qing Bukuang sensed something was wrong. Why did Lin Xuan still have so much strength? Shouldn't he be exhausted?
"Retreat! Let the demon beast army and our subordinates continue to wear them down!"
Qing Bukuang decisively ordered a retreat, planning to weaken them further.
The other Seven obeyed without hesitation, following Qing Bukuang's lead.
Only Su Luo remained standing still.
Retreat?
Again? Today is the final day. Since when did you all become so cautious?
But who said you could retreat?
Su Luo raised his foot and stomped down. Golden lines began to spread across the ground, intertwining to form an intricate array.
A sturdy semicircular barrier instantly formed, enclosing everyone within a radius of one hundred meters.
This sudden phenomenon immediately caught everyone's attention.
Xu Wuliang struck at the barrier, but it didn't even show a scratch. He shouted, "Su Luo, what are you doing?"
Su Luo chuckled.
"I've had enough. You're not here to challenge Lin Xuan; you're here to test my patience. Today, if Lin Xuan isn't dealt with, no one leaves!"
