Soul Devouring Sword Master

"Old man, are you sick?"

Lin Xiao glared at the skinny old man coldly.

He did not provoke the other party, thinking that they should not interfere with each other, but the other party wanted to kill him, which was really vicious.

Originally, when Lin Xiao came from behind, he could have taken the opportunity to attack the skinny old man and take away his ring, but he did not do so. Instead, the other party attacked him, which was shameless.

"Hehe, son, you are lucky to have escaped. You can't get what I can't get. Die!"

The skinny old man grinned, flipped his hand, and another scroll appeared. After activating it, seven swords condensed and slashed at Lin Dan.

The skinny old man used three-level scrolls, which were equivalent to the attack of a warrior in the Earth Spirit Realm.

In his opinion, Lin Xiao was only a second-level spirit pattern master, and was not his opponent at all. He was bound to die in his hands, and then he could get some resources.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Lin Xiao was not only a spirit pattern master, but also a warrior. His martial arts strength was far superior to spirit patterns.

"Looking for death!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and he punched out with a fist. The dragon roared and directly defeated the sword.

"What...what!"

The skinny old man stared in shock.

Just now, he thought Lin Xiao was lucky to escape his attack, but now, he launched several times the attack, but was defeated by the opponent with one punch. It was incredible.

No, the opponent's strength was definitely far above him, and he did not use spirit patterns, but martial arts power. Obviously, the opponent was a warrior, and definitely a warrior at the spirit realm level.

A warrior of this level can kill him with just one finger.

Thinking of this, the skinny old man was terrified and kowtowed for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare my life..."

"Hehe, if my strength was not stronger than yours, would you let me go?"

Lin Xiao sneered, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Buzz!

At this moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the skinny old man. He flipped his hand and two more scrolls appeared and were quickly activated. The next moment, endless sword light and sword energy shot out, covering Lin Dan like a storm.

These two scrolls were both low-level level 4 scrolls. They were the skinny old man's trump card. They were used to save his life at a critical moment. At this moment, he knew that the other party would not let him go, so he had to fight to the death.

Bang! Bang...

The explosions sounded one after another. In an instant, Lin Xiao was covered by endless energy attacks, smoke and dust rose, and energy shot out.

"Haha, I won after all. The old man is still the best. You...ah?"

Originally, the skinny old man was sneering triumphantly, thinking that Lin Xiao was dead, but when the smoke and dust dissipated, Lin Xiao was still standing there, standing calmly, looking at him with an idiotic look.

In an instant, the skinny old man's face froze and he was petrified on the spot.

Plop!

"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, please go away..."

The skinny old man knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but before he could finish his words, a ray of sword energy suddenly slashed at him, causing his body to tremble suddenly.

Gudong!

The next moment, the skinny old man's head fell to the ground, blood gushed out like a spring, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

He took the other party's ring with a finger, and turned away without even looking at the corpse.

Soon, he passed through the corridor and pushed open the stone door.

The moment he pushed open the stone door, a dazzling light came, causing Lin Xiao to cover his eyes subconsciously. When he opened his eyes again, there was a hall in front of him.

In the hall, there was a statue of an old man with a fairy-like appearance. In front of the statue were bluestone cushions, several feet apart. In front of each cushion, there was a stone table with a stack of scrolls and a spiritual pattern pen on it.

At this moment, five figures were sitting on the futon, holding the spirit pattern pen, carefully sketching on the scroll.

Lin Xiao walked over and sat on a futon.

Just as he sat down, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"The second level is a test of your comprehension. Three spirit patterns will be condensed on the stone table according to your spirit pattern level. If you can completely engrave them on the scroll, you can pass the level!"

After the voice fell, Lin Xiao looked down and saw that the light pattern on the stone table was flashing. Soon, three spirit patterns were condensed and arranged in sequence.

Lin Xiao first looked at the spirit pattern on the far left. According to its complexity, it should be a second-level spirit pattern, but this second-level spirit pattern, Lin Xiao had never seen it before, and it revealed a trace of mysterious aura.

After a closer look, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be speechless.

He found that this spirit pattern was formed by the merger of many second-level spirit patterns, at least dozens, or even more. These spirit patterns intertwined and overlapped with each other to form this complex spirit pattern.

Some parts of the spiritual pattern are covered by other spiritual patterns. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to detect and may be mistaken for another spiritual pattern. In fact, some spiritual patterns only show a fingernail-sized part, and the rest are covered.

It can be seen that in order to completely depict this spiritual pattern, not only a broad reserve of spiritual patterns is required, but also a keen eye. As long as one spiritual pattern is missing, it will be considered a failure.

However, this is not difficult for Lin Xiao.

In his mind, there are fragments of the memory of the seventh-level spiritual pattern master, the Mingxuan Saint, which can be a treasure trove of spiritual patterns. Before, he would squeeze out some time to memorize spiritual patterns every day.

Now, Lin Xiao has basically memorized all kinds of second-level spiritual patterns. He has the confidence to carve this spiritual pattern.

First, Lin Xiao carefully observed every detail, from left to right, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, meticulously.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiao had basically understood the entire spiritual pattern, split it into thirty second-level spiritual patterns, and memorized the order.

So, Lin Xiao held the spiritual pattern pen, spread out the scroll, and began to carefully engrave it.
