The sky dimmed as a dense, murderous intent squashed the atmosphere.
The onlookers instinctively moved away as the overwhelming aura of Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King made them tremble and suffocate.
Meanwhile, Aâlu and Toady were stunned by the sudden event. But immediately, their eyes shone with a fervent light.
âFinally some decent opponents,â said Aâlu as his fighting spirit boiled.
âLet me have this one. I wanna see if the pretty boy can fight.â Toady rubbed his palms, his expression clearly saying that he was eager to try.
Seeing this, Yuan Fatian was stupefied and then furious. He coldly said, âLin Xun sent you lap dogs to bark at me? But Iâll give you a chance. Go and tell him to get out here, and Iâll spare your lives!â
His voice resounded like thunder throughout the area, making his aura even more intimidating.
âOoh~ A body refiner!â Aâlu stared at Yuan Fatian like he was staring at tasty prey. His gaze burned even brighter with an unprecedented zeal, and his qi erupted.
âHuh?â Yuan Fatian finally noticed the exceptional breath that came from Aâlu. He raised an eyebrow. âYouâre also a body refiner?â
A thunderous sound resounded as Aâlu rocketed into the sky with a big grin. âFriend, wanna play with me? Defeat me, and I promise Iâll let you see Boss. But if you canât, then donât blame me for being rough on you.â
Yuan Fatian laughed out of fury. âIn the path of physical refinement, Iâve never feared anyone. I advise you to refrain from provoking me, or you will only die miserably!â
There was strong disdain in his voice. As a descendant of the Snubbed-Nosed Monkey Lineage who had been silent within one of the four great ancient dominions, the Return Dominion, he had cultivated the Nine Pure Saint Body Art to the ultimate peak, which allowed him to be fearless of anyone in this world!
He found Aâlu stupid and ignorant as his provocation reminded him of the saying: showing off oneâs meager skill before an expert!
âAâlu, heâs looking down on you! How about you leave him to me?â Toady made a ruckus.
âBullshit! Just watch me beat him up good!â shouted Aâlu.
Immediately, his flesh and blood seemed to boil as he emitted a monstrous aura. It was as if he had transformed into a savage god whose breath alone caused the air around to continuously explode and collapse.
Boom!
He deployed a punch, and the phenomenon of a divine elephant rampaging through the stars manifested, blotting out the sky and earth.
âEh? Emperor Extreme World-Subduing Art! Heâs the heir of the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor lineage! Donât let your guard down, Monkey!â shouted Little Golden Winged Dapeng King in the distance.
âHmph!â Yuan Fatianâs expression was chilling. From within him, metallic sounds like that of swords clashing rang out â a reflection of his terrifying blood and qi power reaching an extreme.
Around him, magnificent and crystal-clear light pillars emerged and reflected the image of heaven. In those light pillars, one could see vague images of gods sitting in meditation and chanting sutras. The sight was simply astonishing.
âBreak!â
Yuan Fatian leaped up and punched out. His fist qi looked as if it was carved from glass, but its power was boundless and carried the might to overturn the world and destroy everything.
BOOM!
The two clashed like comets colliding. The horrifying explosion plunged the region into disorder. The clouds crumbled in unceasing, bursting dao sounds.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Yuan Fatian and Aâlu in the sky both staggered back a few steps.
âNot bad! Not bad at all!â shouted Aâlu in exhilaration. This was the first time he had encountered a body refiner who could be a match for him. His fighting spirit was completely ignited.
âHmph!â Yuan Fatianâs gaze was icy, but he had secretly retracted his contempt.
He knew how terrifying an existence the Divine Elephant Martial Emperor had been, and the savage heirâs attainments on the way of physical refinement were indeed not something an ordinary supreme figure could compare to.
The two both let out a battle cry and charged again.
BOOM!
Heaven and earth were once again in turmoil. From afar, it was as if two gods were clashing with their flesh, unleashing the power that could destroy the world.
Watching from the ground, the onlookers gasped collectively. Yuan Fatian was an apex giant whose physical strength gave him superb battle prowess enough to dominate everyone, but the body strength that Aâlu displayed was not inferior at all. So far, they appeared to be evenly matched!
âThis fellow Aâlu must also be a character with great luck. Itâs not easy to achieve this level of body refining at all.â Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was secretly shocked.
He and Yuan Fatian had come here to deal with Lin Xun, but who could have thought that they would encounter such a powerful character before they could see him?
âLilâ eagle, why donât we play too?â
Little Golden Winged Dapeng King only saw a flash, and a green-robed youth appeared just a thousand feet away from him with a smile.
âToad, I advise you not to make a fool of yourself!â Little Golden Winged Dapeng Kingâs face sank with an icy expression.
His looks were ordinary, but he exuded the arrogance of a king in his golden robe. Since he was the heir of the Golden Winged Dapeng Lineage, no one had ever dared to address him like that!
âWhat a big mouth! Today, Iâll let you experience what itâs like to submit under absolute strength!â Toady erupted with a grandiose aura as he attacked abruptly. Like a flash of lightning, his palm formed a blade and slashed out.
âFierce!â Many people were awed.
The whole world knew what a menace Lin Xun was, but who would have thought that his two brothers in arms were no less swashbuckling.
Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was an overbearing and conceited apex giant whose valiance knew no fear. While he had been keeping a low-profile, no one dared to ignore his existence!
But Toady couldnât care less.
âFrog in the well, youâre seeking death!â Little Golden Winged Dapeng King was enraged. In an instant, brilliant golden light burst out from him and crackled with electric arcs.
It was as if he had transformed into a different person with an overwhelmingly sharp aura. Every move he made exuded the might of an overlord.
âSky Split!â
A dazzling golden beam of light shot out from Little Golden Winged Dapeng Kingâs palm, sharp and eye-catching like a heavenly blade as it met Toadyâs attack.
Rumble!
The whole land shook amidst blazing sparks.
To Little Golden Winged Dapeng Kingâs shock, the green-clad youth was only forced back a little and not injured.
His slash had been at full force and could have easily killed any opponent, yet it had stopped after meeting the palm strike. Without a doubt, Toadyâs combat power could not be underestimated.
âAgain!â shouted Toady brazenly. His golden pupils flowed with raging battle spirit as he once again charged forward. His hair danced wildly, and his handsome face distorted with a crazed expression.
âSince you are begging to die, I will fulfill your wish!â Little Golden Winged Dapeng Kingâs face couldnât be gloomier as he felt like his dignity had been challenged. He completely let go and stormed forth.
In just a few moments, the two exchanged hundreds of blows. In a series of explosions, the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon, and even the void above were imprinted with their afterimages.
The audience was shivering with thrills.
They had not expected to see two unprecedented duels play out in such a short time. Both Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King had encountered formidable foes!
Such a level of confrontation was a rare sight, so how could they not be excited?
At some point, Lin Xun had appeared atop Flying Star Mountain. He watched the two intense battles unfolding in the distance with an unperturbed expression.
But when he saw Yuan Fatian, his heart slightly stirred. To think that the person he wanted to look for had delivered himself to his door!
He gazed at Yuan Fatian with a pondering expression.
Some time ago, Lin Xun had contemplated the matter of physical refinement and made up his mind. However, he needed an opportunity to put it into practice. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And now, this opportunity showed itself on Yuan Fatian!
At this moment, Lin Xun even had a feeling that this was predestined by heaven.
âAâlu! Since he came all the way here to provoke us, you must not let him escape,â said Lin Xun suddenly, his voice echoing through the area loud and clear.
Demon God Lin!
Everyone immediately looked over in shock before raising a clamor. For even Demon God Lin to come out from his secluded cultivation, they could predict that todayâs conflict would not end peacefully!
âDonât worry, Boss! Iâll capture this Snubbed-Nosed Monkey cub!â Aâlu laughed coarsely.
Seeing this, Yuan Fatian was furious. His eyes became bloodshot and murderous.
âLin Xun, after I kill this barbarian, Iâll come back to you and exact my revenge. Donât worry though, I wonât kill you!â he shouted as his aura grew stronger and stronger.
Lin Xun smiled faintly without a word.
However, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly turned his gaze in another direction while transmitting, âBlackie, someone else is coming. Iâll greet them. You keep an eye on Aâlu and Toady, and donât hesitate to interfere if you have to.â
With that, Lin Xun flew up and stood in the sky, quietly waiting with his hands crossed behind his back.
On the mountain, the big black bird furtively poked its head out and looked at the distant sky. It then immediately understood what was going on and cackled. âLeave it to me.â
The next second, the black bird disappeared.
It was also at this moment that a voice as pleasant as heavenly music resounded on Flying Star Mountain, âWanyin, personal maid of Lord Imperial Son, along with a group of fellow disciples have come to pay homage to Fellow Daoist Lin Xun!â
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a line of people came into view on the horizon. The leader was a slender woman shrouded in hazy mist, looking like a goddess who descended from heavens.
Behind her were five figures riding the wind. The auras they exuded were unbelievably godly.
The area fell into utter silence as the audience gawked in disbelief.
No one had expected such liveliness today. Following the appearance of Yuan Fatian and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, a group of cultivators arrived at Flying Star Mountain with impressive momentum!
Even Toady, Aâlu, Yuan Fatian, and Little Golden Winged Dapeng King, who were in the middle of a fierce fight, were stunned.
But they quickly redirected their focus on their fights, not daring to be distracted for long.
âYu Xi, Bai Qian, Yao Li...â Lin Xun scanned the newcomers and instantly recognized several familiar faces.
Eventually, his gaze landed on the leader, Wanyin. That was when he confirmed something.
During the rescue of Aâlu in the Ancient Land of All, Lin Xun had deployed the No Escape sword and injured a supreme character who had been hiding in the shadows.
And that would have been this woman called Wanyin.
