Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "They're behind us."
Sure enough, another group approached from the distance. It was Lu Xiu and his n.
Seeing that Lu Xiu and the others were still alive, Elder Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on Song Yan's face eased slightly. They probably couldn't escape, so they ca back, he thought.
The people from the Hidden Moon Empire didn't attack again, rely surrounding them. They felt like cats playing with mice, certain that with their absolute advantage, they could slowly toy with these people until they died. They wanted Song Yan and his n to perish in despair.
"Lu Xiu, what's going on? Weren't you able to break through the encirclent?" Song Yan asked quickly.
Lu Xiu replied, "Don't worry. The enemies pursuing us are all dead. We ca back to help you."
"What? All dead?!" Song Yan was dumbfounded. Elder Chen was stunned, and the surrounding warriors erupted in an uproar.
Was it true? They had to rember that the force chasing Lin Xuan included two Centurions and ten warriors—an extrely formidable lineup. For Lu Xiu to have broken through such an encirclent was already miraculous. How could he possibly have turned around and killed his pursuers?
"You killed two Centurions by yourself?" Song Yan was flabbergasted. When did Lu Xiu beco so powerful?
"It wasn't who killed them," Lu Xiu shook his head.
"If not you, then who?" Song Yan was baffled. Could there be soone else even more powerful than Lu Xiu? That's ridiculous!
"I took care of them," Lin Xuan stated plainly. "I killed both of those Centurions."
Upon hearing this, Song Yan rolled his eyes. Champion Marquis, I'm begging you, I'll kowtow to you, just please stop bragging, will you?
Song Yan didn't believe it. Elder Chen didn't believe it. No one believed it.
But Lu Xiu insisted, "It's true, Song Yan! The Marquis really did kill them. The Marquis is incredibly strong. He's much stronger than any of us. He's a true genius, a peerless genius."
What?
Hearing this, Song Yan froze. Elder Chen froze. All the surrounding warriors froze. They stared at Lin Xuan, their minds going blank.
Lin Xuan had killed two Centurions all by himself? What kind of joke was that? How was that even possible? Their instincts scread in disbelief.
Song Yan grew anxious. "Lu Xiu, why are you bragging along with him? Are you trying to kill with anger?"
"Ah, Song Yan, what I'm saying is true," Lu Xiu explained. "You didn't see it with your own eyes, so you can't believe it. To be honest, I'm still in shock myself, but it's the truth."
"Alright," Lin Xuan interrupted them. "We'll talk about this later. First, let's deal with these people from the Hidden Moon Country."
Lin Xuan strode forward, his gaze fixed on the two Centurions across from them. He said coldly, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel and surrender, and I'll grant you a quick death."
"Hahahaha!" The two Centurions from the Hidden Moon Country threw their heads back and laughed. Even Song Yan wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, yet this kid had the gall to act so wildly in front of them? Their side had four Centurions; they held the absolute advantage.
However, the boy's sheer arrogance infuriated them. One of the Centurions swung his blade at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan remained unfazed, reaching out with his palm to grab at the air before him.
"Not good!" Elder Chen's face changed drastically as he prepared to intervene.
Song Yan's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. You dare to catch a Centurion's blade with your bare hands? Do you have a death wish? He let out a roar, about to charge forward.
But Lu Xiu, at his side, said, "Song Yan, don't worry. Just let the Marquis handle it. With the Marquis's strength, he can settle everything."
Li Fu and the other warriors chid in, "That's right! The Marquis is invincible!"
"A re Centurion is no match for the Marquis at all."
What? Song Yan was completely stunned. Nearby, Wang Hu was also dumbfounded.
Damn! It's one thing for Li Fu to suck up to the Champion Marquis, but why are Lu Xiu and the others flattering him too? Never mind the flattery, they're actually letting the Champion Marquis fight! Aren't they afraid he'll be killed?
BOOM.
A loud explosion erupted from the front, startling everyone. They all turned their heads to look, only to freeze in place. Wang Hu looked as though he had seen a ghost. Song Yan's eyes were on the verge of popping out, and Elder Chen was rooted to the spot. The other warriors were simply agape.
They witnessed the most unbelievable sight. Lin Xuan's palm had transford into a Dragon Claw. As he thrust it forward, the long blade shattered. The attacking Centurion was instantly torn to shreds.
An instant kill in a single blow!
Everyone was in shock. Whether they were from the Long Ming Legion or the Hidden Moon Country, they were all completely stunned.
"Pathetically weak," Lin Xuan sneered, withdrawing his hand.
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar.
"Damn, what did I just see?"
"A powerful Centurion, killed with a single palm strike!"
"The Champion Marquis actually possesses such strength?"
"Holy crap, so Lu Xiu and the others weren't just flattering him! They were telling the truth!"
"The Champion Marquis really can kill a Centurion in an instant!"
Wang Hu was utterly terrified. He now understood why Li Fu's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds in just a month. With soone like Lin Xuan as a teacher, it would be difficult not to improve.
Song Yan was too shocked to speak. All this ti, he had considered Lin Xuan a nuisance. He never thought highly of him and even resented him deep down. But now, he realized Lin Xuan wasn't trouble at all. He wasn't a burden; he was a genius. A genius who could save all their lives!
The warriors of the Hidden Moon Country were petrified. They had never seen such a terrifyingly powerful young man. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
One warrior asked, "Centurion, what do we do?"
The remaining Centurion heard him, imdiately turned, and fled. What else could they do? They couldn't win. Run!
The soldiers of the Hidden Moon Country scattered instantly, fleeing as if their lives depended on it, wishing they had two more legs. A peerless genius had appeared in the Long Ming Legion! They had to report this back. They must send stronger experts to assassinate this genius.
Lu Xiu roared and quickly led his n in pursuit.
Song Yan also snapped back to his senses. The fact that Lin Xuan was a peerless genius absolutely could not beco known to the higher-ups of the Hidden Moon Country. Otherwise, they might send so ancient monster to assassinate him. They absolutely could not allow that to happen. They must kill every last warrior from the Hidden Moon Country here and now.
Waving his hand, Song Yan led his warriors in a swift pursuit.
It didn't take long for them to catch up to the fleeing warriors and slaughter them with ease. The Centurion in the lead desperately burned his Spiritual Power to flee faster.
But Lin Xuan was too fast. He surpassed everyone, gradually closing in on the man. The Hidden Moon Centurion felt his scalp tingle with dread; at this rate, it was only a matter of ti before he was caught.
Looks like that place is my only option, he thought. He veered towards a patch of ruins in the distance.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lin Xuan snorted coldly and gave chase.
Lu Xiu, Elder Chen, and the others followed, all converging on the ruins. Soon, they had the last Centurion completely surrounded.
This last Centurion's na was Zheng Song. Although surrounded, he seed completely unconcerned. Instead, he sneered coldly, "You can all go to hell!"
"Zheng Song, stop bluffing! Do you really think you can take us down with you?" Song Yan scoffed. With three Centurions on their side, plus a peerless prodigy like Lin Xuan, the enemy stood no chance.
"You really think you're invincible?" Zheng Song laughed coldly as power erupted from his body.
The entire ground shook violently, and dust billowed from the surrounding ruins. From the depths of the rubble ca a rustling sound as countless black shadows began to erge. These dark figures were overwhelming in number, quickly swarming throughout the entire area.
When Song Yan saw these shadows, his face drained of all color.
Lu Xiu cried out in terror, "Blackwater Mysterious Snakes! How can there be Blackwater Mysterious Snakes here?"
"It's over… we're dood," Elder Chen said, his face ashen. These were Exotic Beasts from the Dragon Moon Ancient Land—incredibly fierce and possessing a lethal poison. A single bite ant certain death. Forget Centurions like them; even a Marshal couldn't defeat these Blackwater Mysterious Snakes.
"Damn it! Zheng Song did this on purpose! He deliberately led us here!" Song Yan cursed angrily. "He wants to take us all down with him!"
Lu Xiu also fell into despair. It was one thing if they died, but the Champion Marquis was here too. If the Champion Marquis were to fall here, the loss for Great Xia would be trendous! No, even if it cost them their lives, they had to ensure the Champion Marquis escaped.
Lin Xuan glanced at the black snakes and sneered with disdain. "A bunch of little snakes. What's there to fear?"
Lin Xuan was a Dragon Warrior who cultivated True Dragon Power. Moreover, he possessed a Treasure like the supre Wanlong Illustration. Why would he fear a few black snakes?
Across from them, Zheng Song sneered. "Kid, you really are an idiot. You think you can resist the Blackwater Mysterious Snakes? What a joke! Only a Dragon Warrior can withstand them! What, are you a Dragon Warrior?"
