(Fifth Update)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever the little rooster points to, that’s who I will choose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s finger moved among the eight individuals, and his words made the faces of Nangong Hao, Gui Li, and others turn dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s you then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lin Xuan pointed to a figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was it? Everyone craned their necks, looking closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? It’s him! Cries of surprise followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Branch Leader of the Purple Demon Hall, Ziyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ziyang was chosen, Nangong Hao and the others were somehow relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around were in an uproar, unexpected that Lin Xuan’s final opponent turned out to be Ziyang from the Purple Demon Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ziyang, didn’t expect it to be him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a master of Soul Power, and his pair of Purple Extreme Demon Pupils are incredibly eerie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although Hua Wufeng was powerful previously, he showed no outstanding traits in terms of Soul Power. Now facing Ziyang, he’s likely in grave danger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Lin Xuan had only showcased Thunder and Ice Element previously, without displaying Soul Power, so no one knew how powerful Lin Xuan’s Soul Power truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s expressions varied, while Ziyang’s face was even more sullen, shocked that it’s him who would have to duel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziyang’s face was extremely unsightly, shocked that he was chosen by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, all eyes focused on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the other seven Heavenly Pride on the Array Platform, looking at him with playful smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling those gazes, Ziyang’s face became even gloomier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, the Purple Demon Hall wasn’t the top existence within the Black Dragon Sect, at best mid-tier, weaker than Blood Hand, Nangong Hao, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lin Xuan managed to dodge the elites’ pursuit from various halls, even taking down two Fire Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such achievements, he admitted he couldn’t match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially seeing the opponent’s spirit high, aura sharp, with no sign of fatigue, shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because yesterday, he sent a skilled person from the Purple Demon Hall, well-versed in Illusion Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, that elder, battle-hardened, would seek the best opportunity to strike. Even these Heavenly Pride, if ambushed, might get trapped in illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though one might escape eventually, Soul Power would be heavily damaged, suffering grievous injury if not killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the power of the Purple Demon Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it seems the opponent suffered no harm, as if not affected by any illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Ziyang deeply shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew only two possibilities existed: one, the opponent was fearfully powerful, so swift his skilled didn’t even get to cast illusion before getting wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If true, it meant the opponent’s strength far surpassed his imagination, even if he tried his best, he might not be able to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second possibility, the opponent indeed fell under illusion attack but easily cracked it, hence unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, it’s even more astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To know, the opponent already showed formidable combat power, if possessing strong Soul Power, such a person was flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Described as defying the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not act because even if his illusion was stronger than the previous Purple-robed elder’s, it might still be ineffective against the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking through it all, Ziyang felt bitter, realizing whatever the case, the opponent’s strength surpassed his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he engaged, he would definitely lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the opponent’s previous actions, none could leave unscathed, either deeply humiliated or slain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Ziyang took a deep breath, turning his face horribly dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to be slain, nor humiliated in public, so he decided to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to compete, I concede this spot.” Ziyang said gravely, his figure flickered, exiting the Eight Treasures Chess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? He retreated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone was stunned, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Am I dreaming? Ziyang actually retreated voluntarily?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh Heaven! Has Hua Wufeng become so terrifying even top Heavenly Pride won’t dare challenge him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreat without a fight, has Ziyang lost his mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exclaimed, unable to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other seven Heavenly Pride were also dumbfounded, their minds somewhat blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Ziyang! A top Heavenly Pride like them, and the opponent excelled in Illusion Technique attacks, extremely elusive and hard to defend against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even facing him, they needed utmost caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally wanting to use this battle to gauge Lin Xuan’s strength, but unexpectedly, now Ziyang retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat without a fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outcome was something they hadn’t anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, what’s Ziyang doing?” Blood Hand said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, a useless coward!” Nangong Hao scoffed disdainfully, filled with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui Li sneered twice, his gaze flickering, thoughts unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Heavenly Pride’s expressions varied, but without exception, their gazes carried contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For they believed Ziyang acted far too cowardly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only lost face for the Purple Demon Hall, but also for the entire Black Dragon Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn coward, timid as a mouse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a person doesn’t deserve to stand with us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the disdain from the other seven Heavenly Pride, Ziyang’s face turned dark, trembling with rage, fists tightly clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words felt like barbs, stabbing into his heart, unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he wanted to charge forward recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet recalling his analysis, finally, he halted, not advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was also surprised, looking at Ziyang, then slightly nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, you’re able to see the situation clearly, know when to advance or retreat, not too stupid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since so, I’ll spare your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Xuan flickered, moving to the position Ziyang vacated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s up, really got up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone saw Lin Xuan step onto the Eight Treasures Chess, immediately intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, they hadn’t heard of Lin Xuan’s name before, his existence unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the Black Shine Conference, appeared with great arrogance, they realized such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, actions made him more shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he looked down on Nangong Hao, made him perform Alchemy. Then the next day, he killed the Shura Hall elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even beat up the Blood Evil Hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, managed to evade the elite assassination attacks by various Heavenly Pride afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In merely two days, Lin Xuan gained massive fame, overshadowing other Heavenly Pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now seeing him on the scene, they were even more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For although previous conflicts were intense, Lin Xuan hadn’t directly clashed with those Heavenly Pride, so they didn’t know who was stronger or weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, this mystery would be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T00:47:22.549Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e58b038abbda1c15f231c9ab064782e41d9f445024b9e1498a5469c2e9c2538","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-1385","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-1383",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
