In this world, many ancient Daoist sect descendants ruled an area such as Ling Zinuo of Cloud Jade Sky Mountain, Tie Qianhan of Solitary Star Sect, Yun Ke of Spirit Yuan Sword Sect and Yuan Zhan of Blood Divine Sect...
They were all different, but they all exuded an imposing bearing. They were like the highest mountain peaks of the Spirit Sea Stage.
Lin Xun’s situation would make any cultivator break down. Like a hopeless chess game, it would be difficult to turn it around and escape. He needed powers beyond the Spirit Sea Stage.
A fierce battle broke out. Blazing rays of light soared and criss crossed across the sky, and all sorts of secret arts were mobilized. Lin Xun was suppressed to the extent that he couldn’t lift his head.
The scene shocked the audience.
Many ancient Daoist sect descendants have been dispatched to fight for the Luohou secret treasure. That kid is very pitiful. Perhaps, this is what they mean when they say a man’s treasure will get him into trouble!
Even if a cultivator encountered an opportunity, they wouldn’t be able to occupy it without tremendous power!
“Hey, something is wrong. That kid is acting weird. He still hasn’t been defeated. How is that possible?”
As time passed, someone screamed out in panic as they had noticed that Lin Xun still unbelievably hadn’t fallen despite his dangerous situation and being surrounded from all sides.
A group of peerless characters were attacking him together!The youngster had to be very special to be able to survive under the bombardement for so long.
“Look, his movements are very mysterious and unpredictable. He’s like a hornless ice dragon evading the many killing moves with ease!”
The more experienced cultivators noticed something odd.
“Hmph, the young man’s movement might be mysterious, but that’s not the key point. The key point is that the others are all fighting for themselves and are on guard against one another. As a result, they exposed their flaws and allowed the kid to take advantage of them,” a Heaven Ascension cultivator analyzed.
As expected, many cultivators started to notice that the peerless genius cultivators were distracted while launching their ultimate moves due to their eyes being on Luohou's Secret Treasure instead. They didn’t want the others to get their hands on the treasure before them.
That allowed the youth many opportunities to fight back.
Moreover, as the battle progressed, that feeling of fear and conflict intensified.
Clang!
Little Daoist Yun Ke raised his ancient pine-patterned sword and charged toward Lin Xun.
At the same time, Tie Qianhan swung his iron rod down like a giant mountain crashing down, which forced Yun Ke to draw back. His face was crossed with shock mingled with anger.
However, in the same way, just as Tie Qianhan lunged his iron rod toward Lin Xun, Bai Yu brought his spear up in a slash from the other side. He wanted to kill Lin Xun first, but he didn’t care that Tie Qianhan was nearby and might be impacted by the attack!
Their attacks were being restricted and ruined by one another. The genius cultivators’ eyes blazed with seething anger.
“Tie Qianhan, you are going too far!”
“Hmph, everyone can compete for Luohou's secret treasure, so why can’t I?”
“Yuan Zhan, if you play such little tricks again, I’m going to kill you first!”
“Ling Zinuo, what do you mean by that?”
Roars and shouts rang endlessly from the battlefield. Many top genius cultivators were accusing and scolding one another.
The group of cultivators afar stared, dumbstruck at the mess. Any one of the genius cultivators could have killed the youngster long ago, and there wouldn’t have been such a mess.
Unfortunately, they were all descendants of ancient Daoist sects, so there was an inherent hostility toward one another.
Furthermore, they were all arrogant and prideful and couldn’t tolerate losing. They were the ones who messed up the battle.
“That kid has such good luck. Everyone wants to be the first to kill him and win Luohou's secret treasure so they are stopping each other from succeeding. The kid can live for now.”
“Are you sure? Not necessarily. Accidents always happen. He likely won’t be able to escape the calamity today.”
“That’s right, none of those genius cultivators will allow him a chance to escape!”
Not many people were optimistic about Lin Xun’s situation.
At that moment, Lin Xun was ashen-faced. Not only did Lian Dieyi push him into the pit, but the other people also regarded him as prey. They all wanted him dead to take sole possession of Luohou's treasure.
However, Lin Xun had been holding back, looking for an opportunity. He constantly dodged the attacks with the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. He seemed to be in a disadvantageous position, but in truth, he was testing his opponents’ strength!
If you knew both the enemy and yourself, you could fight a hundred battles without defeat.
Most importantly, Lin Xun was enraged. He was waiting for an opportunity to teach the others a lesson they would never forget in their lives!
“Everyone, we can’t let this continue. Why don’t we all take a step back and discuss a strategy? How about we kill the kid first and then decide on the ownership of Luohou's secret treasure?” a man in a silver robe suddenly said aloud.
His face was terrifyingly pale and demonic. He was called Lu Ping and was from the ancient Daoist Sect Thousand Monster-Beast Palace.
“Good idea!”
“That works.”
Immediately, the eyes of the geniuses lit up. They took a step back and agreed to the proposal.
Although they had agreed to stop attacking, they still each guarded a different direction of the area. They seemed to realize that their previous battle approach would only make the situation more chaotic.
“Boy, I will give you a chance. If you give us Luohou's secret treasure, you can leave here unscathed,” one of the genius cultivators said indifferently.
The audience broke out in an uproar. They didn’t expect to hear someone make such a suggestion after a brief pause.
“That kid has such good luck.”
Many people couldn’t help but sigh. They believed that Lin Xun would hand over Luohou's secret treasure to protect his life.
Ling Zinuo, Tie Qianhan and the others shifted their gazes to Lin Xun. They also agreed with the proposal as they felt that the Luohou secret treasure was more important than Lin Xun’s life.
If he bowed his head to them, they wouldn’t mind sparing his insignificant life.
However, the proposal only aggravated Lin Xun.
Previously, they had treated him as their prey and attacked him ruthlessly, but now, they acted high and mighty and wanted him to bow his head to them before they spared his life. What did they think of him?
They deserve to die!
With this thought, Lin Xun coldly ran his eyes across everyone while saying, “I also have a proposal. You all apologize to me one by one and then each of you can leave behind an ancient treasure as an apology, and I can forget about today’s matter. I will let you all leave here safely. What do you say?”
His voice was indifferent and calm but it rang in everyone’s ears. Everyone fell strangely silent from shock.
What did the kid say?
He has a death wish!
He has been given a chance to live but not only was he not grateful, but he also provoked a group of genius cultivators. He must want to die!
“So arrogant. The kid doesn’t want to live,” someone yelled.
The genius cultivators’ expressions turned cold. They had never expected such an answer from Lin Xun.
“Do you want to die? Don’t test our patience, leave behind the Luohou secret treasure and get lost!” Lu Ping, the descendant of the Thousand Monster-Beast Palace, roared.
Many people trembled all over. Lu Ping’s strong stance and powerful thunder-like voice sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
However, Lin Xun grinned and pointed at Lu Ping. “Based on what you said, I will kill you first!”
“Die!” Lu Ping snapped. Demonic light rioted around his body. He was a three-tailed, silver armored scorpion and an extraordinary talent among monster-beast cultivators.
“Let’s not argue anymore. Allow me to kill the boy. After killing him, we will decide on the ownership of Luohou's secret treasure.”
Yuan Zhan stepped forward, his eyes filled with murderous rage. His aura was incredibly violent and oppressive like that of an ape demon, shattering the surrounding space
“Hey, my friend, why do you want to die? You are only in your teens. Wouldn’t it be a pity to die here for the Luohou secret treasure,” Yun Ke chuckled pitifully.
“It seems that none of you want to take my proposal.” Lin Xun’s smile deepened.
Yun Ke frowned, and a bad feeling inexplicably surged in his heart. This kid is too calm.
The rest of the people watching from afar were also perplexed. Is the young man crazy? Why would he say such a thing? Is he not afraid of death?
“Let’s not waste time anymore. I will slaughter this ignorant bastard!”
Following a roar, a golden figure charged forward. He wielded his fist upwards like a surging ocean, domineering and aggressive.
Everyone’s expression visibly changed because they recognized that the golden figure was Zheng Chi, a descendant of the ancient Daoist sect, Sky Tower Mountain. He possessed a unique innate talent and had already reached the perfect Spirit Sea stage a few years ago.
Boom!
The sky and the earth shook. Zheng Chi was extremely fierce, domineering and imposing. As he punched out, golden flames burst forth like a heavenly river.
Lin Xun also struck back with a spectacular punch. The power around his fist was as mighty as a dragon as it soared into the sky.
The space quaked from the force, while aeth power spread across and enveloped the area like molten lava.
How is the kid so powerful?
Many people were dumbstruck. The group of peerless geniuses had previously suppressed the youth, and he could only constantly dodge the attacks, but apparently he actually possesses extraordinary strength!
Rumble!
The earthshaking collision sent a shudder to the ninth heaven. As the dust and smoke dispersed, Lin Xun was seen standing motionless on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Chi, who was seen as an overlord of the younger generation, had withdrawn dozens of steps. His arm was trembling as blood trickled down his hands and fingers.
“What? Zheng Chi, a domineering and terrifying young genius, should have the upper hand, but he fell into a disadvantaged situation!” The audience was stunned.
Zheng Chi’s eyes widened while golden light frantically circulated all over his body. He stared at Lin Xun in bewilderment as he realized that Lin Xun wasn’t as weak as he had thought.
In truth, Lin Xun was also astonished by his strength. He had just made a breakthrough and formed a new Origin Aeth Artery. His strength had undergone a complete transformation and reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Sea Stage. He could effortlessly kill Spirit Sea cultivators with a turn of his hand, but Zheng Chi was only wounded. Other people would be barely alive after taking that punch!
“Not bad. If you can block my punch, you can be considered one of the strongest here,” remarked Lin Xun indifferently.
However, Zheng Chi was livid at the remark. He was furious to hear a teenager mock him so loudly!
