Jointly confronting the three guardians was of utmost importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not expect that the final guardian would be so strong that even Dugu Aotian and Li Yunfei combined couldn’t get through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, what surprised him even more was that the third challenger spot seemed to have fallen on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xuan hesitate, Dugu Aotian added, \"Brother Lin, becoming a challenger is a matter of honor, and more importantly, a form of affirmation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can accept and succeed in the challenge, then you will be the great contributor to the entire academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contributor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, then said, \"Is there any tangible benefit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no interest in such illusory titles; he wanted to know, if there were challengers, there must be additional rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Aotian said in a deep voice, \"If a challenger succeeds in the challenge, they will receive a Golden Demon Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it’s a real Golden Demon Core, not the kind in your hand that has just evolved into a Golden Demon Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Demon Core!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, their eyes reigniting with fiery light. They didn’t expect the challenger would have such great benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from Dugu Aotian’s words, the reward’s Golden Demon Core seemed to be better than the one in Lin Xuan’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone greedily swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect the challenger’s rewards to be so good, directly giving a Golden Demon Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, countless Human Kings looked at Lin Xuan, extremely envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan already had one Golden Demon Core, if he got another one, wouldn’t that be against Heaven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, admirable as it was, they didn’t dare to have wild ideas. Didn’t they see even the incredibly strong Liu Qiang was knocked to the ground?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their view, Lin Xuan definitely had the top three strength in the Xuan Venerate List; otherwise, Dugu Aotian and Li Yunfei wouldn’t invite him as the third challenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary martial artists dared only admire, but figures like Jiang Yan were burning with the fire of jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Golden Demon Core! Something countless people dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Qi Hao, his breathing became extremely urgent, his eyes turning red, and his body uncontrollable trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists clenched three times but finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice; although his heart was jealous, he was simply not Lin Xuan’s match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just then, a sharp voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? The third challenger spot given to him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned to look, then showed strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they found that the speaker was none other than the heavily injured Liu Qiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s Liu Qiang up to? Hasn’t he already been defeated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he’s strong but now he’s not Lin Xuan’s match at all, and has no chance to get the three challenger spots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I reckon he’s unwilling. After all, it’s a Golden Demon Core, and such things are extremely precious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiang was indeed jealous, and fiercely so. He gritted his teeth and said, \"I was careless earlier. I still have some ultimate moves left. If I use them, I will surely win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Yunfei was expressionless, while Dugu Aotian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xuan sneered even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to compete for the third challenger spot?\" His voice carried a trace of ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, earlier I was careless; otherwise, you could never have won!\" Liu Qiang gritted his teeth and shamelessly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you to give up.\" Lin Xuan shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not for you to say!\" Liu Qiang snorted coldly, clutching his chest and looking towards Li Yunfei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his little moves, Lin Xuan continued coldly, \"Because you will soon leave the Demon-slaying World!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, a bloody aura suddenly erupted from him, thick with Blood Evil Qi, sweeping over the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blood-colored aura was extremely powerful, much stronger than Liu Qiang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a blood-colored Long Sword appeared in Lin Xuan’s left hand, emitting a scarlet, eerie glow, resembling a bloodthirsty demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-colored Long Sword struck out, instantly piercing Liu Qiang’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed, crimson everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned; they did not expect Lin Xuan would suddenly make a move, and even so forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dugu Aotian and Li Yunfei were stunned; they did not expect Lin Xuan to dare act right in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Dugu Aotian was somewhat pleased, as he had originally been dissatisfied with Liu Qiang’s demands. After all, Lin Xuan had already won and obtained the third challenger spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Liu Qiang still wanted to challenge again, not knowing the heights of Heaven and depths of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunfei’s face turned grim; originally, he wanted to give Liu Qiang a chance. If the opponent hadn’t used their ultimate moves, they might still defeat Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could open his mouth, Lin Xuan acted first, directly heavily injuring Liu Qiang so quickly that even he couldn’t react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiang’s body shuddered, eyes filled with anger and bitterness. His spiritual power quickly drained away, eventually turning into a beam of white light, disappearing from the Demon-slaying World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many schemes he had, he still left the Demon-slaying World at last. Probably until the last moment, he hadn’t thought he would leave in this manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was momentarily silent; everyone fell into a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from the Divine Spear Association were all stunned, staring at Lin Xuan in fear. Even Wei Long trembled, almost scared to the point of wetting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan shrugged: \"You wouldn’t really believe this guy had any trump cards, right? Even if he did, he wouldn’t be my opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, you shouldn’t have sent him out of the Demon-slaying World, right?\" Li Yunfei’s voice carried a hint of reproach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xuan also put away his smile, coldly saying, \"I think you forgot, he’s my enemy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never show mercy dealing with enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the crowd grew silent, heart-stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Liu Qiang had previously spared no effort to capture Lin Xuan’s acquaintances, even attempting to kill Lin Xuan multiple times. The grudge between them was irreconcilable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Lin Xuan took action and sent the opponent out of the Demon-slaying World, no one said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Murong Qingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on the lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great, Brother Lin won!\" Su Yue and others cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Black and White Double Killers were excited: \"That guy is too powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect Lin Xuan to win, and even crush the opponent; it was simply unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To know the opponent was not weak, ranked fourth among the Super Strong People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this kind of strong individual eventually lost in Lin Xuan’s hands, even being driven out of the Demon-slaying World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the Black and White Double Killers also withdrew their smiles, their expression somewhat serious looking into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-06-06T00:47:08.510Z",1,"novelbin.me","f79eb5305c4c60b03d382902ae391d9cb84d1752c8519675ba2014e1128530b1","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-981","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-979",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
