The fat and wretched man’s expression changed drastically. He actually did not see how Lin Xuan disappeared.

When he discovered Lin Xuan’s figure, a fist the size of a sandbag had already appeared in front of him. The fat man was shocked and hurriedly blocked it.

Under his hasty resistance, the fat wretched man fell into a disadvantage. Blood continuously flowed from his mouth, and his body retreated rapidly.

“Boss!” The others hurriedly stopped the wretched man who retreated.

The man looked at Lin Xuan in shock. One had to know that he was at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

Although there was the use of medicinal pills so his combat strength was slightly weaker than geniuses of the same realm, it was more than enough to deal with a brat. However, he was defeated in just one move.

The wretched man was just about to speak when he was shocked by the killing intent on Lin Xuan.

The moment Lin Xuan saw Nan Nan, he treated her as his biological sister. He did not allow anyone to bully her.

At some point, the long saber rewarded by Heaven Ascension Tower appeared in his hand. A domineering blade qi assaulted his face, leaving an arc in the air. There were some traces of blood on the long saber.

The wretched man did not know what had happened. He felt the pain in his neck and gently touched it. His pupils constricted, and the vitality in his body immediately dissipated.

“Die!” Lin Xuan slowly spat out a word.

“Spare me…”

The others had only just entered the Foundation Establishment realm. Even eighth level Foundation Establishment experts were not his match. Wouldn’t they be courting death if they resisted?

Their legs turned weak, and they were prepared to kneel down and beg for mercy.

However, Lin Xuan did not give them this chance at all. He killed these people like cutting cabbage.

After doing this, Lin Xuan’s expression was extremely calm. A ball of flames appeared in his hand and burned the corpses of these people. He did not want Nan Nan to see it, as if he had done something insignificant.

“We’ll protect you in the future!”

Coming to Nan Nan’s side, Lin Xuan and Huang Hao said at the same time. They looked at each other and could not help but laugh.

When Nan Nan saw this scene, she smiled happily and tears of joy flowed down.

Originally, other than her brother, no one else had treated her so well.

Lin Xuan smiled and wiped her tears away before starting to walk towards the Horizon of Death.

There were many paths to the Horizon of Death, but through Lin Xuan’s investigation, only this path in front of him was relatively safe. There were many Purple Prefecture-level demon beasts on the other paths. Once they met, it would probably be difficult to escape.

A black mud pool filled with a pungent smell appeared in front of the three of them, emitting a black aura. There were even unknown creatures squirming in the mud, looking very disgusting.

“Are we going through here?” Not to mention Nan Nan, even Huang Hao, who was eating the spiritual fruit, lost his appetite when he saw the mud.

“We still have injuries on our bodies, and we still have to consider Nan Nan’s safety. If we encounter Purple Prefecture-level demon beasts on other paths, it will be very troublesome. We can only choose this path,” Lin Xuan said with a solemn gaze. Choosing this path was a helpless choice.

“I’ll walk in front, and you guys stand a meter behind me. If you discover danger in front, stop.” Lin Xuan could discover the danger under the quagmire through his eyes and avoid it.

“Be careful!” Nan Nan said to Lin Xuan in concern.

Lin Xuan nodded and held the rusty long saber in his hand.

Looking at the long saber in his hand, he shook his head. At the peak of this long saber, it should be a heaven-rank spirit artifact. Under the corrosion of time, this spirit artifact had long lost its former glory.

In just one attempt, a crack appeared on the long saber. It would probably shatter completely after a few more times.

Otherwise, this long saber could still be used as his intrinsic weapon.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and entered the mud.

The black aura emitted from the quagmire turned into poisonous fog and floated in the air. As long as ordinary cultivators smelled it, their bodies would begin to decay until they died. However, they could not do anything to Lin Xuan. The Connate Saint Body Dao Fetus was not to be trifled with.

“Eat the antidote pill. The air here is poisonous.” Lin Xuan threw a small bottle to Huang Hao. He was immune to these toxins, but Huang Hao and Nannan were not. They had to consume the antidote pill.

Through his eyes, Lin Xuan discovered that the squirming places in the mud were all small poisonous insects. They looked small, but the poison in their bodies made people not dare to ignore them.

As Lin Xuan went deeper, there was already no foothold in the middle of the quagmire. There were only a few floating pieces of wood with some limbs on them that had long turned into white bones. There were animals and humans. Clearly, the cultivators who had entered earlier had died here.

Lin Xuan took out a few spiritual artifacts that he could not use and destroyed them with a punch before holding them in his hand.

Every spiritual artifact could make countless Foundation Establishment realm cultivators fight over it in the outside world, but Lin Xuan used it as a tool to step on. If other geniuses saw it, they would definitely be furious.

Lin Xuan planned to wait until he stepped on the trees. If there was an accident and there was no foothold, with the power of the mud, he could completely float these scrap iron and use it as his foothold.

Then, he leaped and landed on the finger-sized tree each time. Then, he jumped and entered the next target. Every time, it was terrifying.

Huang Hao and Nan Nan watched with their hearts in their throats, afraid that Lin Xuan would accidentally fall down again.

When Lin Xuan passed through half of the mud, swishing sounds sounded. The squirming insects under the mud shot out and flapped their small wings as they flew towards Lin Xuan densely.

It made one’s scalp go numb.

These poisonous insects contained a powerful corrosive poison. Once touched, their bodies would fester.

If he could not treat it in time, he would fester and die.

Lin Xuan hurriedly reacted and shouted in a low voice, “Fire dragon, come out!”

The flames condensed by the Five-Element Great Origin Technique were activated by Lin Xuan, forming a fire net that surrounded those black insects.

For these creatures who liked darkness, they were most afraid of containing pure Yang power.

Immediately, there were hissing sounds as the small insects in the air were burned and fell into the mud.

“Don’t move!”

Lin Xuan shouted at the two of them. This black worm did not have much of an effect on him, but he was worried that other creatures under the mud would be alarmed. In this mud, it was not advantageous for him to fight.

At this moment, a large mud pool squirmed violently, and countless mud splattered. A long poisonous snake flicked its tongue and opened its mouth at Lin Xuan, emitting several streams of poison.

They tried to influence Lin Xuan and drag him into the mud.

“Great Vajra Technique!”

The golden spear quickly spun in the air, forming a rapidly spinning shield to resist the poison.

The left hand holding the long saber swung down with a terrifying spiritual qi pressure.
