When the youth suspected to be a descendant of the White Tiger Lineage had suddenly appeared out of nowhere with an attack, no one had expected it.
After all, those who would do so at such a time were certainly trying to seek death unless they were not afraid of Lin Xun.
Only when the violet-haired young man had appeared in the ambush had the crowd known that it was all a coordinated plan.
The entrance of the red-clad little girl had confirmed this, and everyoneâs blood ran cold when they realized that the first two newcomers werenât the ones to execute the killing move!
This was clearly a well-planned operation. No one dared to imagine what would have happened if Lin Xun hadnât prepared his defense in advance, because then Aâlu would have been doomed!
âTime to harvest!â Lin Xun, who had been watching indifferently, finally moved!
Boom!
His fist blasted out a blazing wave of energy that penetrated the clouds and forced back the white-haired youth who was fighting Toady.
Clang!
The Broken Blade had flown out almost at the same time. It appeared in front of the violet-haired young man at an incredible speed and slashed out with the power of great dao variables.
Impermanence Slash!
The violet-haired youth let out a piercing scream and swiftly retreated a long distance away.
The whole field was shocked. Scaring back two powerful characters in just an instant! Demon God Lin is even more intimidating than before!
But this wasnât the end of it.
A Pulao Roar came out from Lin Xunâs lips and transformed into golden dao ripples that quickly spread. Startled, the little girl screamed and ran to dodge them.
âEveryone, protect Aâlu. Leave these ugly rats to me,â said Lin Xun with an icy expression.
Toady immediately reminded him, âYou have to be careful; none of those three are simple.â
The big black bird also transmitted, âI suspect that they have more helpers hiding around. You must not be careless.â
Lin Xun made a noise in assent, and his eyes swept the area before settling on the three opponents.
The atmosphere instantly became deadly and oppressive.
âFellow Daoist Lin truly deserves the title of Demon God. Such godly martial prowess.â The girl in red regained her composure. She floated in the air, her eyes enchanting and her voice soft and tantalizing.
âVery impressive indeed. If you join us, then our lordship Imperial Son will gain a powerful acolyte.â The white-haired man had also retracted his killing intent. His face was tranquil, not showing a shred of emotion. Only his eyes revealed a sharp hint of superiority belonging to someone who overlooked the world from above.
The purple-haired youth was silent, his figure flickering like he could disappear at any moment.
âSo you didnât intend to continue after your ambush failed? I donât have time for chit-chat.â Lin Xunâs expression was indifferent while his eyes grew colder and colder.
âAre you not curious about us, Fellow Daoist Lin?â The girl in red was stunned.
âIt does not matter who you areâ¦because youâll soon be dead!â said Lin Xun very calmly.
âYu Xi, canât you see that this guy already holds a grudge against us? Even if we spare him, itâs impossible that heâll join us,â stated the white-haired man impassively.
The little girl called Yu Xi frowned and sighed, âThis does seem to be the case. Yao Li, what do you say?â She looked at the violet-haired youth.
âLin Xun, we only came here for the emperorâs mound fortune. Just tell your friend to hand it to us, and weâll leave immediately. Otherwiseâ¦â The youth called Yao Li looked at Lin Xun, his eyes gleaming as he declared with a murderous aura, âIâm afraid that todayâs matter wonât end lightly.â
âHeh.â Lin Xun didnât hide his contempt.
These three either still hadnât recognized the situation they were in, or were emboldened by a very strong backer which made them think they could treat him like this.
However, it was all useless in front of Lin Xun!
âIf you three stop here and take your leave, Iâll let you off. If you refuse to do so, no matter who you are, Iâll kill you all and leave no loose ends!â he folded his arms and said indifferently.
âYou just signed your own death warrant!â The white-haired manâs voice was chilling to the bone as he swung his halberd.
An earth-shattering qi violently swept out, tearing the air as it headed straight toward Lin Xun. Rolling with a murderous aura, it was like the spear of destruction wielded by a killing god of the nine heavens.
The crowd audibly gasped, and their faces drastically changed as they felt a visible weight from the halberd attack.
âNot good enough,â commented Lin Xun with a chilling gaze. He tapped his finger in the air, and his qi poured out in a surge as boundless as the springs and autumns of countless ages.
Bang!
The murderous halberd qi was crushed inch by inch. The remainder of the finger energy kept its momentum and squashed the area to the point that the air crumbled.
Standing within it, the white-haired manâs eyes flashed in shock as he involuntarily trembled under the force.
âBreak!â he shouted. His murderous aura rose to the sky, and a tigerâs roar faintly echoed.
Rumble~
A terrifying collision spread out as the attacks collided. Amidst the surprised voices of the crowd, the white-haired manâs sleeves exploded bit by bit like firecrackers.
He staggered back several steps before barely managing to stabilize himself. His face had turned blue and displayed shock and astonishment.
Yu Xi and Yao Li also felt their pupils constrict, and their expressions turned grave.
No one knew better than them how powerful their companion was. And yet, he had fallen into a disadvantage right at the first exchange.
Meanwhile, Lin Xun was inwardly startled.
His finger strike had been catalyzed by all sorts of secret arts, making it strong enough to easily crush any powerful cultivator of the same stage, but it had only injured the white-haired man lightly.
The opponent was undoubtedly extremely powerful!
âMy turn!â Lin Xun suddenly punched out.
Boom!
The sky and earth rumbled, and the sun and moon flipped over.
This fist strike could already be called divine, carrying a unique momentum that would affect one both physically and mentally. When facing it, they would feel that there was no way to stop it and would have to retreat from the oppressive suffocation.
âHumph!â
The white-haired manâs eyes glowed ferociously. His fighting intent and murderous aura merged and flowed into the platinum halberd that was fully activated.
Swish!
A murderous energy wave even more terrifying than the previous one swept out. Vaguely, a roaring white tiger could be seen in it, shattering the stars with its terrifying voice.
But the moment it clashed with the fist power, the mighty energy burst like a bubble. From the collision, a holy radiance spread rapidly and created shocking void cracks in the air around.
âDamn it!â
The white-haired manâs furious scream echoed as he was smashed by the fist force and slammed into the ground like a meteorite. A heavy thud resounded, and the earth trembled a little.
The whole audience went silent as they gawked with violently drumming hearts. The white-haired man was already terrifying enough, but in a head-to-head battle with Demon God Lin, he was still powerless!
Even Yu Xiâs and Yao Liâs faces changed slightly upon realizing that they had underestimated Lin Xun. The strength he had just displayed was clearly even more frightening than when he had slaughtered Bai Longtingâs group.
They found it hard to believe, but reality forced them to!
âDamn it!â
With another furious roar, the white-haired man sprang up from the ground. His face was seething with murderous intent, and he looked like a god of killing!
âStubborn mule. Well then, donât blame me for being cruel!â Lin Xunâs eyes zapped like electricity.
But right at this moment, a distant, ethereal voice echoed, âBai Qian, Yu Xi, Yao Li, letâs stop here. We need to go.â
Accompanying this voice was a rain of light in the shape of flower petals. It emitted a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere that calmed oneâs mind and soul.
In that instant, all cultivators in the area thought they heard the sound of heaven, feeling intoxicated both physically and mentally.
Lin Xun, on the other hand, revealed a look of âI thought so.â Previously, he had sensed that something was amiss because these three opponents had been too calm.
That was why he had suppressed his own killing intent and secretly observed the area with utmost seriousness.
When the ethereal voice had rang out, he instead could finally relax.
He was not scared of anyone. Instead, he was afraid that they would keep hiding in the dark and not coming out!
Meanwhile, the expressions of the white-haired manâs group immediately changed upon hearing the voice. They said in unison, âYes!â
âWanna run? Did I approve?â Lin Xun said as he completely erupted. A piercing, illusory white blade swept out from him and speedily flew toward the three opponents.
Impermanence Slash!
âThere is no point in this, Fellow Daoist Lin.â
The ethereal voice once again echoed. At the same time, a light-green flying sword no wider than two fingers and no longer than seven inches suddenly appeared on the path of the Broken Blade.
The light-green sword swiftly drew a circle of sword shadows in the air, slowly rotating like an illusory abyss.
And just like that, the powerful Impermanence Slash was dissolved by the rotating momentum. Deafening metallic noises resounded as the two weapons clashed.
Some cultivators felt their eardrums about to burst and their qi and blood churn. The clash was simply horrifying!
âHumph!â Bai Qian, Yu Xi, and Yao Li all snorted with a look of disdain for Lin Xun as they were well aware what kind of a legendary existence the owner of that green flying sword was!
But to their surprise, Lin Xun suddenly let out a cold laugh. âFound you!â
The two words boomed like thunder!
It was then that a matchless sword intent surged out from Lin Xun. The world instantly darkened under its brilliance.
This sword was called No Escape!
At this moment, everyone in the area felt as if a sharp sword was being pressed against their throat. Their scalps turned numb, and their souls tried to escape them.
The sword qi was truly a horror!
Swish!
Almost immediately, the sword qi flickered away!
On a verdant mountain peak a hundred miles away, a delicate figure was sitting cross-legged under an old tree, enjoying her tea. However, in that instant, her slender fingers froze, and the tea spilled out from the cup.
The next moment, she flew up.
Boom!
Beneath her feet, the verdant mountain peak had been sliced in half with a ruler-straight slit that was still extending into the distance.
âThis sword qi⦠Extraordinaryâ¦â she murmured as a bright red cut surfaced on the tip of her right index finger.
