hundreds of them were swinging their sharp claws, relentlessly biting and snapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them was a giant lead wolf, spewing human-sized fireballs from its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball, like a miniature sun, exuded a terrifying heat as it assaulted the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Fan, save me!” A Disciple screamed in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Chong looked back only to see a fireball hit the Disciple, instantly burning him to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, more of the wolf pack pounced…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farther away, the Eagle-man Tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of this team was a young girl in a green dress, beautiful in appearance, wielding a Jade Fan, fighting together with a group of Eagle-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Hu Man, there are too many Eagle-men, what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all go ahead;

your Soul Power is much stronger than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As your Sword Soul continues to grow stronger, your Soul Power will also slowly increase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Power has thousands of wonderful uses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will first teach you the most basic methods of probing and discerning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using Soul Power to subdue the tiger demon last time was also Soul Power, wasn’t it?” Lin Xuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh-huh, last time I used a strong Soul Power to directly suppress the opponent’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I’ll teach you other methods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under the tutelage of the Lord of Wine, Lin Xuan began to use Soul Power to probe the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the sense of the soul, everything around became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those scenes all appeared in his mind, and every detail around was laid bare under his probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered a Stone Gate hidden behind a broken pillar, obscured by several large rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one didn’t look closely, they would not find it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s lips curled slightly as he walked over slowly, “If I’m not mistaken, this must be the place where they are hiding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Bufan and the other two opened their eyes and all walked over, observing carefully and then frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With our strength, I’m afraid we can’t move these huge rocks,” Feng Bufan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This stone is made of special rock, I’m afraid only Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists can open it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan nodded in agreement; he estimated that the stone was probably even harder than the skin of the Earth Armor Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, there are other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait until everyone arrives, and then we’ll act,” Lin Xuan said, “For now, what we need to do is recover our strength as quickly as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four returned to their original spot and began to replenish their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, figures breached their way in.\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","70dc81c28209518a4bcdabd2f83befa312d87b91d8b567fa107b91e999a35af2","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-98","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-96",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
