The audience was utterly silent and still.
A battle ended in just a few breaths, and from the beginning to the end, Tuo Teng was completely overpowered, unable to fight back at all!
The outcome was so unbelievable that everyone’s minds went blank for a short period.
Four years had passed, and every expert present had improved by leaps and bounds. This was the reason why Zhen Yunfeng and the others dared to challenge Lin Xun.
However, they did not think that Lin Xun’s strength would have changed so much over the past four years...
This was completely beyond their expectation!
This was because everyone knew that Lin Xun was schemed and attacked by Ancient Buddha Son four years ago and fell into the Underworld River.
It was already jaw-droppingly unbelievable that he survived, let alone the fact that his combat strength had been transformed.
Zhen Yunfeng’s chest tightened. “Brother Lin, you...”
Pu!
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xun took action and severed Tuo Teng’s head in one swift, clean motion. A jet of striking red blood sputtered out.
Even his primordial spirit was obliterated, unable to escape in time!
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned deathly silent and heavy. Whether it was Ji Xingyao and other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples or experts from Underworld, everyone’s pupils constricted and their hearts pounded in their chests.
Tuo Teng was a warrior of Underworld and an ancient-era eccentric genius with a cultivation of the third longevity tribulation! But he was killed like that!
For a minute, everyone’s expression constantly changed.
“It turns out that you have already stepped into the third longevity tribulation stage in the four years you were gone. No wonder you were so confident and wild.”
Zhen Yunfeng’s cold voice was tinged with a mix of surprise and fear, and it broke the silent atmosphere. His face was a little glum and his eyes were flashing.
Third longevity tribulation!
Only then did many people start to react with sharp gasps. Not only did Demon God Lin come back from the dead, but his strength also underwent a transformation-like change!
Everyone’s gazes changed when they looked at Lin Xun again.
The experts of Underworld were both terrified and angry.
As for Ji Xingyao and the others, they all felt a weight lifting off of them. The worry and unease in their hearts had been replaced by a wave of indescribable joy.
A warrior like Tuo Teng was considered the strongest among the Underworld experts present.
But he failed to withstand a single strike of Lin Xun.
Based on this, even if Lin Xun fought alone, he had the ability to resolve the predicament of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms!
Ji Xingyao and the others understood this, and so did Zhen Yunfeng and the others. Thus, they struggled to remain calm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Is there another nobody who wants to challenge me?” Lin Xun’s dark eyes scanned the audience. His robe billowing around him, and his thick silky black hair dancing about added to his air of superiority.
If Lin Xun had said this before, then he would have been thought to be arrogant and reckless.
But now, things were different.
But even so, the Underworld experts were still fuming and aggrieved to be treated as a nobody by Lin Xun.
“Lin Xun, don’t be so arrogant. You are alone. No matter how powerful you are, how can you compete with our Underworld?” shouted out one of the Underworld guardians.
Thud!
However, before his voice faded, his breathing stopped and his body became stiff, and then he tumbled to the ground.
Everyone’s heart trembled. They could tell that although the man’s body was unscathed, his spirit had been destroyed!
From the beginning to the end, Lin Xun did not make any visible movement nor did he glance at the man.
“Are you bullying the few because you have more people? As long as I am around, do you think I will let you have your way?”
Little Silver was hovering in the air, his handsome little face full of coldness. Even his voice turned ruthless.
Everyone narrowed their eyes, realizing the extraordinary ability of Little Silver. He clearly had not passed the longevity tribulations, yet he was able to silently take the life of a supreme king who had survived the second longevity tribulation!
Demon God Lin was already horrifyingly powerful and now a little white-clothed person with extremely abnormal aura and strength appeared. How would they not panic?
In truth, even Lin Xun was a little surprised as indicated by his twitching eyelids.
Although he knew that Little Silver had reached the Supreme King Stage, he never imagined he could kill Supreme Kings at the second longevity tribulation level!
His ability astonished Lin Xun.
Meanwhile, the Underworld experts’ hearts sank, and they were no longer as confident and obnoxious as before.
From the moment Lin Xun appeared until now, Guardian Xue Feng had been crushed to death and then Warrior Tuo Teng had been overpowered and killed.
But now, a little white-clothed person appeared and shockingly killed one of the other guardians on their side.
After the series of blows striking their hearts like a heavy hammer, their fighting spirit started to waver. They realized that the situation had changed with the appearance of Lin Xun.
In comparison, Ji Xingyao and the other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples could not conceal the delight and joy on their faces. Of course, they also knew that the situation had been reversed!
Taking a deep breath, Zhen Yunfeng asked glumly, “Brother Lin, do you want to become enemies with our Underworld?”
He refused to accept the outcome!
Before this, he had almost forced Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms to submit. Who would have thought that the appearance of Lin Xun would disrupt their plan like an unforeseen disaster?
How would he willingly accept it?
“So what if I become an enemy of your Underworld? Zhen Yunfeng, do you think I will be threatened by you?” A cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s dark eyes.
Zhen Yunfeng’s face was livid, but he still stated decisively, “Fine, out of respect for you, we shall leave!”
He realized that the situation was not ideal and chose to retreat.
“Leave? Have I agreed?”
Lin Xun’s words made Zhen Yunfeng’s heart jolt and his expression altered.
He said sternly, “Lin Xun, I already gave you enough face for the sake of our past friendship. You should know what’s good for you. Do you know what sort of horrible consequences there will be if you anger Underworld?”
Although this was a threat, it was indeed true.
In the present Upper Nine Realms, the Underworld force was akin to an overlord. Its abrupt and unstoppable rise raised eyebrows.
In the past four years, under the threat of Underworld’s soldiers, countless sects and clans had to either choose to surrender or be directly annexed!
The Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms was incredibly powerful, but today, it was still forced into a predicament. If Lin Xun hadn’t arrived in time, then the consequences would have been unimaginable.
When Mo Tianhe and Ji Xingyao heard those words, they also calmed down. After weighing everything up, they did not want Lin Xun to form an irresolvable blood feud with such a powerful force.
But before they could persuade Lin Xun, he burst out laughing, “If it wasn’t for our former friendship, do you think I would tolerate your nagging? Also, Underworld has already angered me. Sooner or later, I will personally go there and settle the score with Underworld Son!”
As he reached the end of the sentence, his voice was loaded with bone-chilling killing intent.
Why did Zhao Jingxuan choose to self-seal her spirit?
She was forced!
If Wang Ziying and the others hadn’t forced her to take that step that day, then would she have ended up this way?
And Wang Ziying and the others were lackeys of Underworld Son!
A chorus of gasps broke the silence.
After disappearing for four years, Demon God Lin emerged and planned to settle a score with the Underworld force headed by Underworld Son!
If this news spread out, it would no doubt set off storms across the Upper Nine Realms!
“You…”
Zhen Yunfeng was exasperated or rather he was frightened by the murderous intent that Lin Xun revealed.
“Enough!”
Lin Xun suddenly soared into the air, his entire body glowing brightly, and a tremendous aura swept the area.
The wind raged and clouds scudded across the changing sky!
“Start the battle.” As his calm voice rang out, Lin Xun moved mysteriously and left no trace like a streak of lightning or like a flowing rainbow.
Pu!
The heads of several Underworld experts who were closest to Lin Xun were slashed off in an instant with a muffled hiss.
Then, heads tumbled down one by one, and blood splattered across the space.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the same time, everyone caught sight of a broken blade, but it was as ethereal as an illusion, as nimble as a feather, and sacred-looking.
“Die!”
Zhen Yunfeng’s eyes reddened. He knew that if he didn’t fight, he could not leave this place safely.
He leaped up.
However, he was on the peak of Kongzhe Mountain and standing nearby was Mo Tianhe, Ji Xingyao and others.
As soon as he made a movement, Mo Tianhe and Ji Xingyao also attacked.
They hated Zhen Yunfeng to the bone!
Little Silver disappeared with a flash as he murmured, “He talks so much nonsense, but the battle has finally begun. Because of me, my God-Devourer Insect Clan gained another unprecedented supreme king. I will surely live up to the reputation left by my ancestors!”
Pu!
At the same time, an Underworld expert dozens of feet away from Little Silver died abruptly and silently.
His spirit was crushed by incomparably sharp sword intent!
Pu!
Very quickly, another guardian-level expert was caught off guard and had their spirit destroyed.
This was the terror of the God Devourer Insect Clan.
Their attacks were invisible and formless, which were incredibly difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Additionally, their attacks were like the most ruthless assassins in the world—it was always a one-hit kill!
They slayed within ten steps and left no trace within a thousand miles.
Rumble!
On the battlefield, Lin Xun also launched into attack mode. Glowing brightly, he seemed to be moving unhindered across the universe. With no effort at all, every attack he unleashed was strong enough to deter ghosts and demons.
Enemies exploded one after another wherever he passed like he was invincible.
Suddenly, the place was filled with the stench of blood, piercing screams, and chaos.
This was not because the Underworld soldiers were incompetent. Instead, Lin Xun’s current martial skills trumped all of theirs.
Based on that, it was as easy to slaughter them as tearing up a painting!
“Die!”
Suddenly, a cold but sweet voice rang out, followed by Yu Liangyin, one of the twelve warriors of Underworld, charging his way.
She looked delicate and alluring, but she wielded a giant black iron hammer in her slender, fair hand. She swung it with ease and sent beams of black light sweeping across. The space exploded wherever they touched.
The destructive power was frightening!
She charged at Lin Xun from behind with astonishing speed!
Buzz—
However, the Broken Blade suddenly slashed across the air like a rainbow streak, activating the Birth Destruction Slash. First, the black iron hammer, which had been raised for several years, split into two with a clean cut.
Then, from the center of her eyebrows, a blood-colored line extended straight down the bridge of her nose, red lips, neck, chest, abdomen...
