I will take you to the next round!”Everyone looked puzzled, not knowing where they were going, but their feet moved quickly as they each jumped onto the large ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship was very large; even with one hundred and three disciples on board, it didn’t feel crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stood on the ship, curiously looking around and found that although it was made of wood, it was incredibly hard—beyond the damage a Cultivator at the Mystical Realm could inflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take off!” commanded the square-faced middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship, which was dozens of meters long, shook a few times before slowly ascending with everyone on board, rising into the sky and flying toward the distance alongside the other two ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the ship took off, the square-faced man didn’t pay attention to the disciples and walked into the cabin instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of over a hundred people looked at each other, feeling uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the ship’s speed increased, the wind grew stronger, causing a stinging sensation when it blew against their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from some special Body Refinement disciples and those with profound strength, others began to circulate their Spiritual Power, forming a protective layer over their bodies to guard against the fierce wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, having practiced the Golden Jade Body Tempering Technique, could still endure the wind, but Tang Yu and Yin Qingyi beside him had conjured Protective Spirit Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such strong winds, it was impossible to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many settled down to meditate in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing else to do, Lin Xuan looked curiously around, eventually setting his gaze on the neighboring ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between the two ships was over a hundred meters, but with the help of his right eye, Lin Xuan could still make out some details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that those on the other ship were also youths; however, they were generally older than his group, and very few of them had activated Protective Spirit Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sat silently, wiping their Weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by their attire, they must also be disciples of the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they be Inner Sect Disciples?” Lin Xuan speculated in his heart, but he did not know why they were traveling together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about three to four hours of travel, the ship gradually slowed down, and many disciples stood up, aware that their destination was near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the final leg of the journey, the ship was abuzz with slow movement, allowing Lin Xuan and the others to clearly see the scenery below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the scene that unfolded below gave them quite a shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below was a city, or more precisely, a city that was ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the ten-meter-tall walls had collapsed, most of the buildings inside were destroyed, and the rubble and white bones were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the glaring crimson color that assaulted their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” All the Outer Disciples were stunned by the scene before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, someone muttered, “This is a city invaded by Demon Beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve come to the frontline of a war!”“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frontline!” Many exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daxia Kingdom was far from peaceful, especially the regions bordering the Primitive Forest, where wars were common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place Lin Xuan and the others had arrived at was evidently a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can we possibly defeat those Demon Beasts when we’re so weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this sending us to our deaths?” someone complained discontentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, I don’t want to be eaten by a Demon Beast!” Numerous disciples voiced their concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up, a bunch of useless trash!” Jiang Yulong said coldly from within the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the sect wouldn’t simply send us to the frontline directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, don’t be hasty,” Duan Fei also said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan looked at the devastated landscape on the ground, feeling slightly despondent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the cruel world where the weak were devoured, and only the strong could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and he swiftly turned around, his muscles tense, staring intently at the sky with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing screech sounded, vibrating eardrums and causing dizziness and headaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Outer Disciples activated their Spiritual Power to resist, while a pale cyan Energy Shield emerged above the ship, covering it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How terrifying, what is that sound?” everyone wondered with alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge shadow was cast upon the ship as a grey bird, over ten meters in length, appeared above the disciples and swooped down towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, it’s an Iron Claw Eagle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s huge; it must be beyond the Magnetic Condensation Realm!” someone recognized the creature above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eagle’s talons, shimmering with silver light, collided with the cyan Energy Shield, causing a tremor, but the shield only deformed slightly before returning to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the cabin doors opened, and a square-faced middle-aged man emerged, followed by two young men in their twenties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evil beast!” The square-faced middle-aged man looked up at the Iron Claw Eagle and snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a gleaming sword light, like a red hot whip, piercing instantly into the chest of the Iron Claw Eagle and leaving a two-meter long wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood scattered across the sky, and grey feathers fluttered in the air as the Iron Claw Eagle cried out pitifully and swiftly flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a terrifying sword!” Lin Xuan looked warily at the square-faced middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sword strike was so sharp it could have nearly annihilated all of them, the entire group of Outer Disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repelling the Iron Claw Eagle with a single sword strike, the square-faced middle-aged man then said indifferently, “I am the person in charge of this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may call me Elder Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of your assessment is combat, real combat!”“I will send you to a small battleground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no Demon Beasts inside, only some Fierce Beasts, whose strength is comparable to yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your task is to slay these Fierce Beasts!”“After you’ve slain the Fierce Beasts, you will need to cut off their left ears as proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, you will be ranked based on the number of beasts you’ve killed.”“Of course, this test comes with certain risks, and there may be casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I’ll give you a chance to opt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Answer me after ten breaths!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","bdcef1a0079f288995e7ce4e2f0aabf0eb7a100f5aeb460e5b426afa516809af","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-66","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-64",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
