Chapter 898: Fighting Above One's Level (Please Subscribe)_1

The elder spoke with a mix of wariness and curiosity, "Boy, are you truly as young as you appear to be?"

He felt an incredibly ancient presence emanating from Xu Sheng, as if he were speaking to someone who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years...

Especially that thoroughly penetrating sensation he had just now, it was as if he had seen right through him...

Xu Sheng replied with a faint smile and a gentle voice, "Of course."

Contrastingly, the four Sect Disciples who were battling with these revenants couldn't afford to be the slightest bit careless...

One of them, holding his personal sword, suddenly got knocked back a few steps by the bone claws of the three revenants before him...

He bellowed angrily, "Damn it! Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Sky-Splitting Spin Strike!!"

His sword began to emanate ripples, followed by the rapid formation of a swirling vortex at its tip...

Then, he fiercely lifted his sword and slashed with all his might at the three revenants in front of him...

The vortex nurtured by the tip of his sword shot out instantly, turning into a spiritual power whirlpool over a dozen meters wide, sucking in the revenants and violently shredding them...

After continuously executing the move for over ten seconds, the three revenants had been reduced to nothingness, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead...

His gaze then unconsciously drifted towards the old man's direction and he was suddenly startled by the additional figure beside him...

He exclaimed in shock, "What, another person appeared? Is he an accomplice of that guy?!"

But when he sensed that Xu Sheng was only at the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Realm, he breathed a sigh of relief...

The other three disciples also realized that they couldn't exterminate the revenants before them without using powerful attacks and thus unleashed terrifying spiritual power, releasing their own martial techniques...

They shouted in unison, "Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Yang Qing Sword Qi!!"

"Profound Grade Superior Martial Technique, Withered Wood Cold Sky Slash!"

"Mid-Grade Profound Martial Skill, Explosive Heaven-Shaking Fist!!"

Following their words, three terrifying forces that made the space tremble emerged, striking at the revenants around them...

After hitting their mark, they emitted bursts of dazzling light...

Soon after, the revenants let out pitiful cries and were all reduced to smoke, dispersing away...

And as the dazzling light dissipated, the Sect Disciples who were panting heavily were revealed...

One of the disciples took a deep breath and said gravely, "Phew... At least half of my spiritual power has been consumed, these revenants are really troublesome!"

Another disciple's beautiful eyes turned towards the elder, "Indeed! If we can't finish this quickly... wait."

Upon noticing Xu Sheng, her tone changed abruptly, exclaiming, "When did that guy get someone beside him, could he also be a helper?"

The man who had already noticed Xu Sheng said coldly, "Don't worry about that guy, his cultivation level is only at the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Realm..."

As long as they cut down that man, this guy at the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Realm would be nothing but a weakling they could easily crush in their hands!

But the woman's beautiful eyes stared at Xu Sheng, and upon seeing his face clearly, she couldn't help but feel a hint of astonishment...

Such a handsome man, why would he be with that kind of person, he must also be a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Then, her expression turned icy, and she stared at the old man, "Now that your revenants have all been killed by us, accept your death gracefully!"

The other disciples chimed in, "Without those revenants, even if it were just you alone, you would never be able to handle the four of us!"

"Though your cultivation level has reached the ninth layer of the Profound Immortal Realm, without breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm, victory is impossible!"

Hearing these words, the elder's expression darkened, and he seemed somewhat taken aback that the revenants he had nurtured for so long had failed to inflict any harm on them….

With a chilling tone, he said, "Hmph! It seems you truly believe you can slay me! Come and try, then!"

After speaking, his turbid eyes turned to Xu Sheng, "Kid, you'd better leave this place quickly. If you get killed, I won't save you!"

Xu Sheng picked up on a tinge of concern in those words and pressed his thin lips together before responding softly, "Alright, then I'll retreat for now!"

Since the seal hadn't been lifted, he had no desire to linger here…

Seeing Xu Sheng attempting to flee, one of the disciples coldly shouted, "Don't even think about it! Anyone who's in league with you is no good person! Today, both of you will die here!!"

He then turned to the other three, suggesting, "Rain Junior Sister, Elder Brother Yin, Junior Brother Mo, could you please intercept that fellow? I'll seize the opportunity to slay this lad, and then come to support you!"

Upon hearing this, the other three had no objections and nodded in agreement….

The next moment, without any hesitation, they rapidly charged at the elder with a speed hard for the naked eye to follow, and in the blink of an eye, they were locked in battle….

At first glance, even when facing the onslaught of three adversaries, the elder didn't show the slightest sign of disadvantage, and even held his own….

The sole remaining Sect Disciple fixed his gaze firmly on Xu Sheng….

"Now that that old man is not here to protect you, come and meet your fate!"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes grew colder, "I'm not on the same side as that old man. There's no need…"

Before he could finish speaking, the other interrupted him, "No excuses! If you are not in cahoots, why didn't he kill you and turn your soul into a revenant?"

Xu Sheng's lips twitched involuntarily….

This guy, could he be insane? Such logic was beyond ridiculous.

Even with his long cultivation experience, he couldn't help wanting to curse out loud.

Before he had time to ponder further, the disciple channeled spiritual power into his personal sword, which emitted a buzzing sword cry….

Then, locking his gaze on Xu Sheng, he made his move….

Moving like a wraith, he reached Xu Sheng in the blink of an eye, gripping his personal sword and slashing towards the his head….

Xu Sheng, seeing this, furrowed his brows and stepped back a few paces to dodge the strike, but the sharp chill of the blade still left a shallow wound on his cheek….

After wiping away the bloodstain, he immediately pulled his personal sword from his Storage Cosmos Bag, his icy gaze fixing on the disciple in front of him….

Up to now, the seal within his body still hadn't been lifted….

This time, he truly had to fight beyond his level!

Seeing Xu Sheng's stance, a cold sneer spread across the disciple's face, "That cold gaze of yours, is it because you want to kill me? Hmph! With the might of the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm?"

In the face of such blatant mockery, Xu Sheng simply gripped his personal sword, his expression unchanged as he said, "Whether I can kill you or not, we'll only know after we've tried!"
