The Legend of the Netherworld

Lin Xiao faced Yu Sheng and Dao Yi in front of him and smiled calmly: "Yu Sheng, why don't you introduce the helpers you brought today?" There was a hint of amusement in his tone.

Yu Sheng sneered and replied, "This is Brother Daoyi from the Chan Yi Hall. He has heard of your reputation a long time ago and wanted to spar with you. I brought him here so that you can see what he is like."

Lin Xiao looked at the two of them, calculating in his mind. Yu Sheng's realm had reached the eighth level of Ding Chou, while Dao Yi was clearly stronger than Yu Sheng, having already entered the first level of Jia Yin. Although Lin Xiao was only at the fifth level of Jia Zi, he had no problem dealing with an opponent like Yu Sheng.

"Okay, then, do you go first, or do you two go together?" Lin Xiao said contemptuously.

Upon hearing this, Daoyi's eyes suddenly blazed with rage, and he attempted to charge at Lin Xiao, brandishing his hammers. However, Yu Sheng hurriedly stopped him, whispering, "Brother Daoyi, let me test his strength first. This boy is cunning, and we must not take him lightly."

Daoyi heard this, suppressed his anger, and took a step back. Yu Sheng stepped forward, looking at Lin Xiao sternly: "The fight we had last time wasn't over yet, let's continue it today!"

"I'm always at your service." Lin Xiao said casually, clearly not taking Yu Sheng seriously. Seeing Yu Sheng approach, Lin Xiao's mind shifted, and he retracted the sword containing his weapon into his body. Although his realm was lower than Yu Sheng's, dealing with an opponent at the Ding Chou Eighth Realm was no problem at all.

Seeing Lin Xiao's disdain for him, Yu Sheng was instantly enraged. He formed seals with his hands and rapidly chanted an incantation, instantly unleashing a fiery storm of flames. The fierce flames swept towards Lin Xiao, and the temperature in the air suddenly rose.

Lin Xiao faced the oncoming flame storm with a calm expression. He clenched his fists and first activated the Overlord Divine Power Technique, instantly increasing his strength and speed. Then, he suddenly stepped forward and thrust out both palms. With a single Tiger Roar Palm, the flames dispersed the flame storm. The flames seemed to be torn apart by a violent wind and instantly dissipated into the air.

However, Lin Xiao did not stop. He flashed, using his phantom body skills, approaching Yu Sheng in an instant like a ghost, and his Dragon Shadow Fist, with terrifying power, struck Yu Sheng in the face.

Seeing the fist approaching, Yu Sheng was startled and quickly formed a fire shield. Flames quickly condensed in front of him to form a protective barrier, blocking Lin Xiao's Dragon Shadow Fist. At the same time, he quickly performed the Pyroblast technique, and a fire explosion exploded beneath the two men.

The massive explosion sent both Yu Sheng and Lin Xiao flying. Yu Sheng, relying on his flame shield, wasn't seriously hurt. While Lin Xiao lacked a shield, his body was invincible, long invulnerable to weapons. The flames had little effect on him, though his robe was ripped apart.

Lin Xiao got up from the ground and looked at his torn Taoist robe, frowning: "Another one is ruined this time."

His eyes grew cold, and he pressed his fingers together, silently chanting, "Sword Pointing to the Universe." A sharp sword energy burst forth from between his fingers, piercing directly into Yu Sheng's flame shield. With a single "bang," the flame shield was instantly shattered by the sword energy.

Yu Sheng was startled. Before Lin Xiao could attack again, he quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the Fire Chain Binding and Fire Snake Dance. Several chains of flame suddenly appeared from the ground, entwining themselves around Lin Xiao. Around him, the flames transformed into snakes, circling him, waiting for their chance to strike.

Lin Xiao quickly unleashed his "Dragon Wandering Across the Seas" acrobatic technique, nimbly weaving between the chains of fire. Facing the fire snakes' attacks, Lin Xiao remained calm, dodging whenever possible and resisting whenever he couldn't. These fiery snakes posed little threat to his resilient body; they could only slightly shake him, but couldn't stop him.

In between dodges, Lin Xiao quickly approached Yu Sheng, a cold glint in his eyes. He took advantage of Yu Sheng's gap in forming hand seals and attacked him with Dragon Shadow Fist again. In desperation, Yu Sheng had no choice but to dodge quickly, while simultaneously launching a flaming fist, confronting Lin Xiao head-on.

The two fists collided, and the flames and dragon shadows clashed fiercely, erupting into a powerful wave of energy. After the two fists exchanged blows, they distanced themselves from each other.

Yu Sheng looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, his heart filled with shock and uneasiness, thinking secretly: "This person's strength is definitely not just Jiazi Fifth Realm. His strength and speed far exceed those of cultivators at the same level. He is simply like a monster."

Daoyi, who was standing by, also had a serious expression on his face, muttering to himself, "This boy is indeed worthy of his reputation. His strength is unimaginably strong."

Yu Sheng took a deep breath, unwilling to be so easily overwhelmed by Lin Xiao. He quickly formed seals with both hands, unleashing Blazing Light and a Flame Whip. With a flick of his right hand, a whip of blazing flames appeared in his hand, its blazing glow infuriating. Yu Sheng swung the whip violently, synchronizing it with the Blazing Light. Each swing of the whip generated a fiery halo, which exploded when it approached Lin Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao frowned slightly and thought to himself, "These two moves are well coordinated and there are almost no flaws." Faced with this impenetrable attack, he could only keep dodging, staying vigilant at all times, and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

In the gap between the flaming whips, Lin Xiao seized the opportunity, put his two fingers together, and unleashed the sword pointing to the universe. A sharp sword energy burst from his fingertips, striking Yu Sheng directly. Yu Sheng was unable to dodge, and the sword energy struck his shoulder, breaking the spell he was casting.

Seeing Yu Sheng's spell interrupted, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate. He used his Phantom Body Technique to quickly appear behind Yu Sheng, followed by a fierce whirlwind kick. Yu Sheng had no time to react and was kicked hard, falling heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Standing up with difficulty, Yu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Xiao, you forced me to do this!" He quickly formed seals, and his hands released blazing flames, casting two powerful spells - the Cage of Flame and the Spear of Blazing Flame. Lin Xiao was quickly surrounded by a circle of flames, and the scorching breath caused the air to distort.

Lin Xiao looked at the blazing flames around him and couldn't help but recall the similar moves Lin Jiao had used against the Cobalt Guards. He smiled and thought to himself, "It seems Yu Sheng has put in a lot of hard work to deal with me."

The flames quickly formed a cage, attempting to trap Lin Xiao. However, to Yu Sheng's surprise, Lin Xiao suddenly leaped out of the flaming cage. Lin Xiao's movements were as fast as lightning, as if the flaming cage had no power over him at all.

Yu Sheng and Lin Xiao were both stunned. Yu Sheng had obviously not expected his move to be so easily broken, while Lin Xiao sneered inwardly, realizing that Yu Sheng's realm was not high enough to control two powerful spells at the same time.

Without waiting for Yu Sheng to react, Lin Xiao unleashed the "Dragon Wandering Across the Seas" technique and instantly appeared beside him. He used the Soul-Locking Grabbing Hand Technique, striking Yu Sheng's arm with precision and swiftness, interrupting the Blazing Spear he was concentrating.

Then, Lin Xiao continued to use the Soul Locking Hand Technique to tie Yu Sheng's left and right hands together, and with his other hand, he quickly tied his left foot to his right foot. Lin Xiao's movements were swift and precise. Before Yu Sheng could react, he had tied his limbs into a ball, his entire body bent like a twist, and was firmly bound behind his back.

"You guy, you really don't know what you can do." Lin Xiao sneered and kicked Yu Sheng, kicking him towards Daoyi like a sack.

Daoyi was furious when he saw Yu Sheng being humiliated like this. He clenched his hammers tightly, his eyes blazing with anger as he roared, "Lin Xiao, you're courting death!"

With a roar, Daoyi swung his heavy hammers and smashed towards Lin Xiao like thunder.
