The Legend of the Netherworld

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, concentrating his mind.

He slowly unfolded the parchment book in his hand, and the mantra of "Sword Controlling Technique" in the book emerged word by word, as if sword lights were blooming in his mind.

Silently chanting in his heart: "The art of controlling the sword lies in regulating the breath, embracing the essence and maintaining unity, so that the five spirits of man and sword become one. The sword is born from the heart, and the sword spirit responds naturally. The Qi meridians flow into the sword, and man and sword become one. The two Qis are of the same origin. Using Qi to control the sword, you are invincible..."

He closed his eyes and meditated, secretly feeling the mystery in it.

After a moment, he followed the sword techniques described in the book, slowly circulating the energy in his body and unleashing his hidden martial arts.

As his energy gathered, a long sword with a cold glow quietly appeared in front of him.

Lin Xiao stretched out two fingers and formed them into sword fingers. The power transmitted from his fingers flowed into the long sword, and the long sword trembled slightly as if it had a spirit.

He was delighted and mobilized all his strength, which surged like a tide. He poured his strength into the sword, and the sword suddenly shone brightly.

With a slight flick of his finger, the sword immediately moved.

He was delighted and tentatively moved the sword in the tree hole. Then he smiled and suddenly stabbed the sword towards the big tree in front of him.

The long sword broke through the air like lightning and instantly penetrated the tree trunk. The tree made a slight cracking sound, leaving behind a narrow sword hole.

He gently retracted his fingers, and the sword quickly returned to his front, hovering motionlessly.

Lin Xiao showed a satisfied smile on his face. He practiced this sword-controlling technique over and over again until his energy was exhausted.

He put down his sword, crossed his legs, entered a meditative state, and began to practice the "Boundless Sea of ​​Mind" to restore his strength.

The next morning, the sun had just begun to shine on the forest, and the forest was surrounded by moisture. Lin Xiao left the tree hole and after eating a simple meal of grilled leopard meat, he began to wander in the forest.

He first collected some branches and leaves and made himself a simple hat to prevent his bald head from being too conspicuous and causing trouble for himself.

While moving back and forth between the big trees, he saw a wolf pack in front of him. There were about seven wolf monsters. The leading wolf monster was at the seventh level of spiritual enlightenment, and the rest were at the fifth level. They must have been searching for him all night and were planning to return to the cave to rest.

Lin Xiao moved his feet and instantly performed the "Dragon Traveling Across the Seas". His body moved as fast as a stream of light, and his trace was almost invisible.

He quickly came to the back of the wolf pack and immediately used his hidden chemical weapons and sword-controlling skills. The cold sword hung above Lin Xiao's head. With a flick of his finger, his sword stabbed out like lightning, and a "Spirit Sword Stab" directly locked onto the wolf demon at the tail of the wolf pack.

With a scream of "Ah", the head of the wolf demon at the tail of the wolf pack fell to the ground.

The long sword's attack did not stop. A "Spirit Sword Slash" move was immediately used. The long sword carried an invincible killing intent and chopped towards the two wolf monsters one after another. Two more wolf heads fell to the ground.

"Ahhh" two screams echoed all around, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

As the long sword continued to chop towards the fourth wolf-goat, the leader of the Lingqi Seventh Realm Wolf Demon Captain, holding a mace in his hand, quickly came to the front of the Fifth Realm Wolf Demon.

"boom"

The sword and mace collided, sparks flew, and the wolf demon captain successfully blocked the attack.

The long sword continued to hang in front of them. The wolf demon captain erupted in anger and shouted to the front: "Who is it? Come out! What are you doing sneaking around like?"

Lin Xiao then appeared, wearing a leopard skin coat and a leaf hat. He had an expressionless face and his eyes were staring straight ahead like two sharp blades.

The wolf demons in front of them saw that it was Lin Xiao. One of them recognized Lin Xiao and stepped forward to say to the wolf pack leader: "He looks like the young man who went to kill the Wolf King."

The wolf pack leader also recognized him, his eyes showing a desire for revenge. He said to the wolf demon beside him: "You guys run away and find the left and right wolf lords. I will drag him away."

After saying that, the remaining wolf demons immediately ran in four directions.

Lin Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Run, run faster." At this time, the long swords on the heads of the wolves flew quickly towards the four wolves, gliding through the air like a meteor.

The wolf demon captain roared, and a wave of energy came towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked calm as he used the "Tiger Roar Palm". A palm print turned into a tiger pouncing on its prey and broke through the air.

The palm print instantly dispersed the energy wave and attacked the wolf demon captain with a tiger roar.

The wolf demon captain immediately turned around and dodged, and the big tree behind him was cut in half.

Immediately afterwards, the wolf demon captain, holding a mace in his hand, rushed towards Lin Xiao with the power of revenge.

Lin Xiao moved his feet and used the "Phantom Body Technique" to leave a shadow behind and was hit by the wolf demon captain.

At this time, he came behind the wolf captain, grabbed the wolf captain's head with one hand, and put the dagger on its neck with the other hand.

The wolf demon captain only felt a huge force controlling his body, and he was completely powerless to resist.

Lin Xiao turned around with the wolf demons and pointed the wolf demon captain's head in the direction where the other wolf demons were fleeing.

Lin Xiao's long sword caught up with the fleeing wolf demons one by one and killed them one by one.

"No, no."

The wolf demon captain roared loudly, tears streaming from his eyes and dripping onto Lin Xiao's dagger.

Seeing that all the fleeing wolf demons had been killed, blood gushed out from the wolf demon captain's neck, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Lin Xiao recalled his sword, and they walked towards the stream with a sword in hand.

With a helpless look on his face, he said, "I have to take a shower again. It's really annoying so early in the morning. What a shame to encounter them."

After washing, Lin Xiao continued to look for his target prey in the forest. After a while, he finally saw a snake demon.

The human-shaped snake body drove the long sword to fly, and the long sword pierced its tail like silver lightning.

He immediately stepped forward and controlled it.

Lin Xiao promised it that he would let him go as long as he answered his questions.

"Tell me where the Green Water Pond is? What is the strength of the Green Water Snake Queen?" Lin Xiao asked immediately.

However, before he could finish his words, the snake demon suddenly bit his own head with its fangs. The venom instantly invaded his body, and the snake demon began to convulse all over and fell to the ground and died.

Although this was the second time Lin Xiao had seen this scene, he was still shocked.

Lin Xiao continued to use his sword-wielding skills to catch snake monsters in the forest, but without exception, as soon as they asked about the Green Water Snake, all the captured snake monsters would pierce their own heads with their fangs and die.

He stared at the snake demon's corpse, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He muttered to himself coldly, "What tricks did this Jade Water Snake Queen use to make her subordinates so loyal that they aren't even afraid of death."

Afterwards, Lin Xiao wandered around in the ancient forest until dusk, when he encountered the snake demon again. This time, he did not ask rashly.

After he subdued the snake demon, he used a dagger to break its fangs, and blood filled the snake demon's mouth.

At this time, he asked with a smug look on his face: "Tell me where the Green Water Pond is and how powerful the Green Water Snake Queen is. Answer honestly and I will let you go."
