The Legend of the Netherworld

Seeing that Lin Xiao was completely controlled by the vine, the three of them walked over to the seed. The burly man raised his lips slightly and said jokingly, "Don't look at this kid who is only at the Jiawu level 6, he is quite powerful. If it weren't for the thin guy using his special move, we would have to wait a little longer."

The thin man sneered, his eyes flashing with cunning light: "But first, let me make it clear that the golden armor on his body must belong to me."

The dagger man nodded casually with a relaxed smile on his face: "No problem, we are all brothers." Their conversation was full of familiarity and tacit understanding. It was obvious that they were already accustomed to such division of labor and cooperation.

The thin man was unwilling to give up. A sinister look flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Wait a little longer. My vines will soon penetrate his limbs. Even if he has a golden armor, what good will it do? It won't protect his entire body."

Lin Xiao was wrapped in the dark vines, his heart calm and resolute. The space around him was suffocatingly small, and in the darkness, he could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Lin Xiao chopped and stabbed left and right but could not break through the encirclement. Suddenly, four vines came towards Lin Xiao's arms and calves, trying to pierce Lin Xiao's limbs and lock Lin Xiao tightly. The four vines were as hard as iron plates when they touched Lin Xiao's limbs. Every attack was unable to pierce through, and instead injured the vines' own forelimbs. Every attack was blocked by Lin Xiao's tough and invincible body.

Lin Xiao felt as if a small insect was gently tickling his skin, posing no threat at all. Seeing that the vines had stopped attacking, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and thought to himself, "Not attacking anymore? Then it's my turn."

He began to channel his inner energy, gathering it in his hands. He then unleashed a powerful spiritual sword strike. The sword's light streaked through the night sky like a meteor, instantly piercing the top of the vine and freeing it from its restraints. "Sure enough, the top is the weakest spot!" Lin Xiao felt a sense of relief, but the three of them were instantly shocked.

"How is that possible? He's only at the sixth level of Jiazi!" The thin man's voice was filled with disbelief, and his eyes flashed with anxiety.

The burly man didn't hesitate and shouted angrily, "Don't overthink it, just strike hard and leave no one alive!"

The burly man kicked towards Lin Xiao with a powerful force, like thunder.

Lin Xiao's heart trembled as he unleashed his Dragon Shadow Fist to meet the blow. The impact of his fists was deafening, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. Both sides were repelled by the immense force, and the ground trembled slightly at the moment of their collision.

However, just as Lin Xiao finished his breath, the dagger man emerged from the ground, and the sharp dagger pierced his feet. Lin Xiao instinctively dodged, and then the dagger man disappeared again, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Lin Xiao thought to himself: "Why did he burrow into the ground? This move is too outrageous." Then Lin Xiao looked at the ground and found that it was the tunnel left by Teng Man just now. He thought to himself: "These two people actually have such cooperation." Just when he was about to take a breath, the burly man threw another hook, upper hook, lower hook, left hook, right hook, and the wind of the punch followed him like a shadow. Finally, he suddenly turned around and elbowed him.

Lin Xiao knew that he could no longer dodge, so he quickly activated the sword formation to protect his body. The sword light quickly rotated around him, like a protective shield. The sword blade trembled slightly between his fingertips, as if ready to attack at any time.

But at this moment, the thin man cast a vine explosion from a distance, and instantly dozens of vines grew in front of Lin Xiao and then exploded.

The sap from the vines rained down like raindrops, splashing onto Lin Xiao's clothes. The corrosive feeling was like a burning flame. He couldn't help but frown, cursing inwardly, "This guy actually resorted to such tactics!"

Just when he was getting anxious, the man with the dagger emerged from the ground again and headed straight for Lin Xiao.

Seeing that there was no time to react, Lin Xiao rolled over to avoid the dagger in an instant, his body drawing an arc on the ground and narrowly avoiding the sharp blade of the dagger.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's mind gradually became clear: "The cooperation of these three people is really impeccable. It is almost impossible to defeat them one by one. It seems that I can only trade my body for a chance."

He knew that only by turning passivity into initiative could he secure a glimmer of hope. Using his phantom form, Lin Xiao attacked the thin man with lightning speed, appearing behind him in an instant.

Seeing this, the thin man's heart tightened. He quickly formed seals and cast a spell. An extremely tight vine armor immediately appeared around him, like a solid city wall, protecting him tightly.

At this moment, the man with the dagger was not to be outdone. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, and the dagger slashed horizontally like lightning, attacking Lin Xiao's feet.

Lin Xiao subconsciously closed his feet, and the dagger slashed across, instantly cutting off his shoes. The sharp blade only left a shallow scar on the sole of his foot and could no longer cause any harm to Lin Xiao. Normally, Lin Xiao should have been cut in half by now, but Lin Xiao's physical defense was too high.

Supported by the dagger man's attack, Lin Xiao did a somersault in mid-air and used the momentum to stab backwards, with the blade pointing directly at the dagger man's head.

The dagger man was so shocked that he had no time to react. With a "click", the sword blade pierced deeply into his brain, and blood splattered everywhere, like a gorgeous red flower blooming in the air.

Lin Xiao quickly drew his sword, blood stained his palms. The warm liquid stimulated him, as if injecting more strength into him.

This scene stunned the burly man and the thin man, and they turned pale in an instant. The burly man's anger surged like a flame. He roared as if he wanted to tear the world apart, and launched his powerful "Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering" power.

He kicked out suddenly, and the ground cracked instantly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Xiao quickly dodged, and the ground under his feet was smashed to pieces, and the dust raised was like smoke.

The thin man was not to be outdone. He formed seals and used the "Sunflower Seed Technique". A huge red sunflower instantly bloomed behind him and fired a shower of sunflower seeds at Lin Xiao with such force that it was like a rain of arrows that never missed the target.

Lin Xiao did not dare to delay and quickly activated the sword formation to protect his body. The sword light around him flickered like stars, blocking all attacks.

However, the burly man did not stop his attack. His fist came straight at him like a cannonball. Lin Xiao concentrated his mind and used the Dragon Shadow Fist to meet it. The force was so strong that the two fists collided with each other with a loud noise, shaking the surrounding trees.

Both of them were knocked back more than ten meters by the strong impact. Lin Xiao knew in his heart that although his body retreated, it did not affect his movements at all.

After Lin Xiao landed on the ground, he reacted instantly and used the Phantom Body Technique. The burly man was still immersed in the pain of Lin Xiao's Dragon Shadow Fist and had not reacted yet. At this time, Lin Xiao had come behind the burly man. Just as he was about to stab the burly man in the back, the thin man saw it and immediately cast a spell. The Vine Armor instantly appeared behind the burly man, trying to block Lin Xiao's attack.

Lin Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself: "Haha, I really got fooled!"

He used the Dragon Swimming Across the Seas technique, and his figure was as swift as the wind. He rushed towards the thin man, stabbing him with the tip of his sword.

By the time the thin man realized what was happening, it was too late. The sword pierced through like lightning, and blood gushed out. The thin man clutched his chest in pain, staring at Lin Xiao in horror, his eyes filled with despair and disbelief. Lin Xiao felt a tinge of pleasure, but he thought to himself, "This is battle, a fine line between life and death."

Seeing his companion severely injured, the burly man was completely enraged. He roared to the sky, his voice as deafening as thunder. His eyes burned with immense rage, as if he wanted to tear Lin Xiao apart. He clenched his palm into a fist, his knuckles white, and trembled as he attacked Lin Xiao.
