Lightning rippled, creating a blinding brilliance as Qian Huai’s angry and resentful roar echoed in the background.
The sight made Lin Xun’s heart flutter with exhilaration.
In the Sky Martial Arena, the Heaven Ascension expert Hua Qiancheng had interfered just as Lin Xun was about to kill Hua Wuyou, nearly resulting in him being killed instead.
The Sky Suppressing Bead had fended off Hua Qiancheng back then!
Today, Lin Xun had merely re-enacted that scene. However, the effect was clearly much more significant due to Qian Huai’s carelessness.
“You little mongrel, I’m going to kill you—!”
Qian Huai’s figure suddenly charged out from the churning maelstrom. However, his appearance was completely different.
His clothes were in tatters, his skin was scorched black, his hair was frazzled, and half of his face was a bloody mess, making him look exceptionally frightening.
A mighty Heaven Ascension expert was a dignified and dazzling existence. It was a huge humiliation for someone like him to be forced into such a miserable state!
Qian Huai was nearly about to go mad with rage as he murderously charged at Lin Xun.“Hand over your life!”
Qian Huai resembled a sinister demon god. He had become an incarnation of brutality whose only desire was to slaughter Lin Xun.
Unfortunately for him, the youth had fled again, turning it into another chase.
“Little mongrel, you can’t escape. I will not stop until even your bones are crushed to dust!”
Qian Huai’s eyes were red with rage, showing that he was genuinely angered.
He had been careless earlier and assumed that Lin Xun could not possibly possess anything that could injure him.
Who could have anticipated that the Sky Suppressing Bead would possess such terrifying power? Qian Huai was caught off guard, resulting in him sustaining severe injuries.
How could he not feel angry?
It was like being viciously slapped by an ant, which made him feel extremely shitty.
Qian Huai was undoubtedly exceedingly frightening in his enraged state. It only took a few moments for him to catch up to Lin Xun again.
Before he could attack, the youth stopped again and made a throwing motion.
Whoosh!
A black blur shot through the air.
Eh?
Qian Huai’s pupils shrank as his heart shuddered, instinctively recalling the earlier events. He immediately jerked his body to the side to avoid it.
It was at this same moment that he finally saw what the black blur was.
It wasn’t the Sky Suppressing Bead he was on guard against but…mud?
Bang~
The mud ball exploded mid-air, splattering dirt as if mocking him.
Veins bulged on Qian Huai’s forehead. His lips twitched violently as uncontrollable rage boiled in his heart.
That trash mongrel had actually dared to trick him!!
Qian Huai’s lungs nearly burst from anger as he released a bestial roar and charged at Lin Xun again like a raging fire.
“Little shitbag, you’re finished! You’re finished! If I don’t make you beg for death today, I’ll change my surname to yours!”
“Please don’t, I don’t want an unworthy descendent like you!”
Lin Xun’s loud laughter sounded from the distance.
Qian Huai’s expression turned increasingly ugly. He took a deep breath as he tried to restrain the erupting-volcano-like rage in his heart before gritting his teeth and giving chase once more.
He was already thinking about the cruel ways he would torture Lin Xun once he was captured.
When had a mighty Heaven Ascension expert ever suffered such humiliation at the hands of a trash Spirit Sea expert?
Never!
Qian Huai no longer cared if the youth had some kind of crazy background. The humiliation and anger Qian Huai felt could not be sated until he killed him.
“Die!”
Qian Huai soon caught up again. Fiery light pulsed from his body as his hands rapidly filled with dazzling light.
This was his killing move, and he was confident that it would turn Lin Xun to ashes, leaving not even bones behind!
“Old dog, prepare yourself!”
Lin Xun swung his hand backward without turning his head, sending out a black blur.
Again!
Does this little shitbag think I will be tricked again?
But what if…
What if it’s real this time?
Qian Huai suddenly became incredibly conflicted, making him feel frustrated and sullen.
However, there was no time to think. In his helplessness, he dodged to the side again.
He did not dare to take the risk. The earlier blow had already left him with substantial injuries, and he would certainly be incapacitated if he were to get hit again.
Bang!
A ball of mud exploded nearby, spreading dirt in the air…
“I…I’m going to slaughter you!”
Qian Huai nearly coughed blood out of anger. His face burned in embarrassment, and he felt humiliated like never before.
As he teetered on the edge of craziness, Qian Huai immediately gave chase again.
This time, he swore to himself that he would never ever be tricked again!
The first and second times might be excused by carelessness, but if he was tricked a third time, it would no longer be a matter of carelessness but shame!
Chase!
Chase!
Chase!
Qian Huai maintained absolute calmness, firmly suppressing all of his anger, sullenness, and shame.
To ensure a one-strike kill, he became cautious and started to accumulate power while he was still several tens of thousands of feet from Lin Xun.
When there were only ten thousand feet between them, Qian Huai finally made his move!
Clang!
He took out his weapon: a flaming sword with a silver snake-like handle.
The sword swung through the air, crossing ten thousand feet in an instant as it slashed.
The strike showed the numerous years Qian Huai had invested in mastering the sword. It was fast, precise, ruthless, and ferocious without equal.
However…
Lin Xun’s figure flickered bizarrely and avoided the attack as if he knew it was coming. He then continued to flee.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Qian Huai controlled the silver sword to repeatedly hack at Lin Xun, forcing him to begin dodging. This in turn slowed him down and put him in a precarious situation.
“Little shit, why aren’t you running anymore? Eh? Hahaha, I’ve decided. When I catch you, I will first sever your tendons and skin you alive. Then, I will extract your spirit and slowly burn it with nine yin fire, making you wish you were dead!”
Qian Huai laughed loudly, releasing his resentment.
His attacks grew increasingly fierce as he laughed, making it increasingly difficult for Lin Xun to dodge.
All of a sudden, Lin Xun yelled, “Old shithead, eat this!”
Qian Huai immediately stopped laughing.
God damnit, not this again!
Soon after, he roared, “Bring it on. I’ll see how long you can keep up your tricks!”
Swish~
The familiar black blur appeared again.
No longer intending to dodge, Qian Huai gritted his teeth. With a deep breath, he slashed at the approaching black blur.
Pff!
Sure enough, another ball of mud exploded into dirt.
Qian Huai immediately laughed. “Little shit, that must have been the only lightning bead you had. How laughable of you to try and trick me!”
His silver sword crazily slashed as he spoke.
One of the sword qi attacks finally struck Lin Xun, leaving a long wound on his back that nearly reached his internal organs. Blood flowed like a waterfall from his torn flesh.
Despite this, Lin Xun acted oblivious, laughing as he continued to dodge. “Old shithead, have another try.”
He flung his hand again, sending out yet another black blur.
Bang!
The black ball was immediately chopped, revealing that it was another mud ball.
Qian Huai laughed maniacally. “Still trying to bluff? You’re quite a wonder, still so stubborn even at death’s door!”
“Try it again.”
Yet another black blur shot forth.
Bang!
Another ball of mud.
“Idiot, is that all you know?”
“Again.”
Bang!
Mud.
Bang!
Mud.
In the process, Lin Xun’s situation grew increasingly grim. No matter how hard he tried to dodge, wounds continued to accumulate on his body. He was soon covered in injuries and was drenched in blood.
He had no choice but to admit that a Heaven Ascension expert was absolutely terrifying, especially in an enraged state. Such power was impossible for a Spirit Sea expert to face.
No matter how outrageous Lin Xun’s talent was or how enormous his foundations were, there was an entire greater cultivation stage between them so the power they wielded was on a completely different level. It was hopeless to try and face an opponent that was one greater cultivation stage higher.
In contrast to Lin Xun’s situation, Qian Huai seemed to be having the time of his life. He laughed like a maniac as he released all of his anger, hatred, and frustration. In fact, he even began to feel a little reluctant to kill the youth too quickly.
Qian Huai hated Lin Xun too deeply to allow him to die so easily!
“Little shit, come on! Show me how many more mud balls you have!”
Qian Huai laughed sinisterly. It looked exceptionally terrifying because half of his face was a bloody mess.
“You’re an interesting person. Have you become addicted to playing with mud?”
Lin Xun laughed scornfully.
His disdainful expression immediately triggered Qian Huai. A runt at death’s door was mocking him?!
What would others think if they found out?
“I’m going to murder you!”
Enraged, Qian Huai cast aside all hesitation and executed his killing move.
“Is that so? Have a taste of this mud ball first!”
At the same time, another black blur was thrown by Lin Xun.
Qian Huai had already lost count of how many mud balls he had slashed. Hence, he instinctively slashed again without any concern.
He had already determined that Lin Xun was out of tricks and could only continue to bluff, feeling that it was nothing but comical at this point.
However…
Quai Huai’s heart shivered unexplainably as he slashed, and his expression soon changed drastically.
He had seen that the black blur wasn’t mud this time, but a bead that cackled with lightning…
Crap!
Qian Huai’s soul nearly left his body as he turned rigid in fear. Without any hesitation, he immediately jerked his body to the side.
However, he was already a step too late. An earth-shaking noise rumbled around him as a sun seemed to rise before him. Light blinded his eyes as a terrifying power instantly swallowed Qian Huai’s body…
