Chapter 1945: Hunter and Prey
Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing both knew that they were in a really desperate situation.
Not to mention Wu Huang, the four people who were attacking them were so powerful that they felt despair.
When they heard Wu Huang's extremely cold remake, they were so angry that their eyes turned red with pure fury.
"Damn it!"
"Fight with them!"
At this moment, a cold voice echoed, "Wu Huang, you are really shameless..."
Wu Huang and the four people who were attacking all raised their eyes and saw a lonely figure moving through the void.
Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing revealed looks of disbelief. "Brother Jin!"
When they were in a desperate situation and were about to be eliminated, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was like a ray of light that was breaking through the darkness, giving them a glimmer of hope in their desperate and angry hearts and making them feel unprecedentedly excited.
"You guys continue, I'll stop him."Wu Huang was startled at first, but he soon regained his composure and looked grim.
His figure flashed, mist rose, and he rushed towards Lin Xun like a demon from hell.
Swish!
Four vertical eyes appeared, emitting four kinds of divine light: black, white, blue, and purple, as they activated the Four Directions Soul Killing Diagram
In his palm, a chain with a bloody aura appeared, and he whipped it out fiercely.
In the past, Wu Huang, as a Holy Imperial Apostle, was arrogant and conceited. However, during the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest, he suffered a miserable defeat against Lin Xun, which was something he regarded as a great stain upon his reputation.
Now, seeing Lin Xun interfering in his affairs, all of those old grievances surged into his heart. As soon as he attacked, he was like a desperate man with monstrous power.
"You think you can stop me?"
Lin Xun sneered, and millions of misty sword qi suddenly swept out of him, blazing and dazzling as they whistled out.
Omni-Direction Sword Rain!
Unlike in his previous fight with Wu Huang, this time it was being used by his fierce and sharp White Metal Dao Body. Thus, the offensive power of this move was completely different from before. ℞
Boom!
The sky was covered with sword rain, and innumerable cracks were torn into the void. Although Wu Huang's attack was terrifying, it was shredded by countless sword qi in an instant.
He had charged forward quickly and was sent back even faster. The dense sword qi directly pierced him, violently shaking him away.
The clothes on his body disintegrated instantly, and bloody sword marks appeared on him!
A single blow had caused a huge setback!
His four allies had originally been preparing to continue to bombard Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing, but they all froze and revealed looks of horror.
How could Wu Huang, a Holy Imperial Apostle, stumble so hard?
Even Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing were amazed. After all, they had witnessed the fierce fight between Wu Huang and Lin Xun in the finals of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest.
Although Wu Huang had been defeated at that time, he had not lost this quickly. Now, he could not even resist a single attack from Jin Duyi. This was incredible!
"You... How can you be so powerful?"
Shock and anger surfaced on Wu Huang’s face. Only a short period of time had passed, yet his opponent had reached a more terrifying level. He couldn’t believe it.
Of course, he had no idea that Lin Xun had held back a bit during the finals of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest.
Half a year after that fight, Lin Xun had broken through and leapt into the advanced Supreme Saint-King Stage. His Great Dao Field had also almost reached the realm of utmost perfection.
His combat power was completely different from before.
In order to rescue Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing, Lin Xun did not hold back at all!
"Back then, in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest, you could use your Emperor-grade treasure or that strange secret treasure that targets the spirit, but in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, you will not have such an opportunity."
As Lin Xun spoke, he rushed forward as his murderous intent firmly locked on Wu Huang, "And I will never give you another chance!"
Boom~
Endless sword rain swept out, and every single Taixuan sword qi was imprinted with the mysterious power of his Laws. They condensed into sword intent and covered the landscape densely.
Such an attack could truly be called sky-covering and sun sundering!
The color drained from Wu Huang’s face as he turned to flee.
In the past six months, he had also broken through in his cultivation. He thought he had a chance to redeem himself, but this horrifying attack made him realize that the terrifying power of Jin Duyi was far beyond his imagination!
"I said, I won't give you another chance this time."
With an indifferent voice, endless sword qi flashed and turned into a strict sword formation that blocked off this area and resembled a sword prison.
This was another magical form of the Taixuan Sword Scripture–Sword Cage!
"Open!" Wu Huang howled to the sky as gray mist streamed around him.
He had transformed into a fierce and unmatched Four-Eye Bird. He flapped his wings and soared high.
This was his original body and also his strongest method left!
Then, layers of gray light and shadow emerged from between his wings, like layers of demonic domains descending into the world. They were weird and terrifying.
However, under the suppression of the sword cage, the layers of light and shadow all popped like bubbles and collapsed.
Under the unparalleled sharpness of the sword qi, countless cuts that were deep enough to reveal bone appeared on Wu Huang in an instant. Blood flowed down like a waterfall.
"No——!"
Wu Huang's eyes were bloodshot, but as the void undulated, he was taken away and completely eliminated.
When he left, his eyes were full of deep hatred and unwillingness.
Finally, from where he disappeared, a pile of life talismans fell. There were over a dozen of them and they were all grabbed by Lin Xun.
Then, Lin Xun looked at Wu Huang's four companions.
"Go!"
These people had realized that something was wrong. This hit home when they witnessed Wu Huang's miserable condition, so they became even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, they all chose to escape at the same time.
"Slash!"
With a swish, the Broken Blade swept out.
At the same time, Lin Xun's figure flashed as he chased after another person.
How could Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing miss such a good opportunity? At the same time Lin Xun made a move, they also rushed up.
A breath of time passed.
The four experts from the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect were defeated and eliminated one after another. Life talismans fell on the ground, but there were only eight in total, far less than the number that had been owned by Wu Huang alone.
From this, it can be seen that in the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, the status of these four people were far inferior to that of Wu Huang, a Holy Imperial Apostle.
"Thank you, Brother Jin, for your help!"
Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing stepped forward and gratefully thanked him. Prior to this, they didn’t have much of a relationship with Lin Xun, yet he had saved them, which made them more grateful in addition to being surprised.
After all, they had formed an alliance with Wu Huang earlier, but were tricked by him in the end.
With such a comparison at hand, how could they not be grateful for Lin Xun's life-saving grace?
"We are all from Cloud State, so it is natural for us to help each other."
Lin Xun smiled, and when he was about to continue to say something, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
At this time, a round of applause rang out.
In the far distance, a group of figures appeared out of thin air, led by a man in plain clothes. He was handsome with gentle-looking eyebrows and eyes.
He had long silver hair and a gentle and elegant demeanor.
Tu Qianjue!
He was a core disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court and was ranked ninth on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings.
Behind him followed a group of people that numbered around half a dozen, and all of them were the core disciples of Heaven and Earth Dao Court. Each of them had a strong aura that penetrated the sky making them resemble a group of gods.
Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing both felt their faces blanch as a bitter taste surfaced in their mouths.
They had just escaped the jaws of defeat and eliminated Wu Huang’s group. Unfortunately, a group of more terrifying characters had immediately jumped out. Their luck was too rotten!
Only Lin Xun remained calm.
In the past two days, he had seen many similar things. Some people seemed to have just defeated their opponents and finally obtained some life talismans, but before they could be happy, another opponent came out and took advantage of the situation.
Things like the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole was waiting behind, were common within the Mythical Huang Secret Realm and happened all the time.
Unfortunately, now it was his turn.
"Who would have thought that the number one from Cloud State would have such a strong combat power? From what I've seen, it was not a mere accident that Kong Zhao was injured by you outside the gate of Mythical Huang Dao Court."
Tu Qianjue's voice was clear and refreshing.
As they walked over, their auras were firmly locked on Lin Xun and the others. At first glance it looked like they had not taken action, but in fact, a battle was about to break out!
"Do you think you are stronger than Kong Zhao?"
Lin Xun looked calm.
"No, I just have more people, but even if I can't capture you now, I can definitely take some life talismans."
Tu Qianjue smiled and continued, "Of course, if I really fight to the death, I will have to weigh how much the price is."
Lin Xun was a little surprised and said, "So what are you going to do?"
Tu Qianjue thought about it and said seriously, "Hand over the life talismans you just snatched, and we can turn hostility into friendship."
"You sure dream big."
Lin Xun laughed. Did this guy really think that he could defeat him with a group of experts from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court?
Tu Qianjue said disapprovingly, "If one doesn’t dream big, what should one do instead? Chase after a nightmare?"
"I also have a big dream. Do you want to hear it?" Lin Xun smiled brightly.
"I am all ears,” said Tu Qianjue.
Lin Xun said seriously, "You will definitely be biting off more than you chew if you continue down this line of thought.”
Tu Qianjue narrowed his eyes slightly as he was a bit surprised. Does he really not realize that the situation is unfavorable to him? But why is he so confident?
"Let's go!"
While he was thinking, Lin Xun immediately pushed Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing and moved away from them without hesitation.
Tu Qianjue was stunned and remarked out of surprise, "I didn't expect that you, Jin Duyi, would be so dishonest. But where can you escape to?"
Swish!
The next moment, they all chased after him.
One of them waved a hand and revealed a piece of animal skin that had an illusory luster. It enveloped Tu Qianjue and the others. When moving in the void, their speed was incredibly fast!
Void Beast Pelt!
It was a boundless and magical treasure that was extremely rare. Each pelt had an immeasurable value. Although this treasure was not an Emperor-grade treasure, its most powerful use was that it can ignore the constraints of the spatial laws when moving in the void!
In just a short moment, Tu Qianjue and the others clearly spotted the fleeing figures of Lin Xun and the others from a distance.
