Chapter 374 Like an Immortal in a de


    As Hua Wuyou sped the Scarlet Firmament de, her aura grew increasingly fierce.


    Shua!


    Instantly, images and shadows of swords swept the area like zing clouds rolling across the sky. They rapidly enveloped Lin Xun.


    “The Hua Family’s Formless Scarlet Sword!”


    “She has mastered three great cultivation arts of the Hua Family. Her talent is too astonishing!”


    “If it weren’t for Lin Xun, no one would have known that Hua Wuyou’s true killing move is an ancient sword art.”


    While the audience was in shocked disbelief about Hua Wuyou’s astonishingbat means, a clear de cry rang like a dragon’s roar.


    ng!


    A ray of ck light suddenly emerged like eternal darkness. The Flowing Light de had shed out of its sheath. At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from Lin Xun’s body like he was a volcano. To everyone’s surprise, his aura was rapidly soaring, but he seemed calm and indifferent.


    Previously, Lin Xun could be described as a raging and violent storm, but now, his aura had be transcendent. He was like a drifting cloud, an immortal concealed in a de, untainted and unlike an ordinary mortal.


    Everyone couldn’t help but feel amazed again. They never thought that Lin Xun, an initial Spirit Sea Stage cultivator, would be so unfathomable!


    He wielded the de calmly, but he exuded an unusual aura that sent a chill down everyone’s heart.


    Boom!


    As Lin Xun held the de in one hand, de shadows danced in the air like surging waves. Instantly, the rain of fiery swords that filled the sky vanished without a trace like it had been swept into a gxy.


    Seeing Lin Xun’s rxed and leisurely bearing, everyone couldn’t believe that he could easily counter the Formless Scarlet Sword, a secret cultivation art of the Hua n.


    “The younger generation will surpass us in time!” an influential figure of the older generation eximed emotionally.


    Both Hua Wuyou and Lin Xun had disyed unusually terrifying strength since the beginning of the battle. Every attack was more astonishing than the previous and repeatedly shocked everyone.


    Even if the battle hadn’t ended, they had already shown how extraordinary they were. They were no doubt the strongest of their peers!


    “Hmph!”


    Hua Wuyou’s expression had already turned ice-cold. Her sword moved unhindered in the sky, and a shower of scarlet swords swept across the world, formless and unpredictable.


    However, the situation had already been reversed!


    As Lin Xun strolled across the arena with a de in his hand, his gestures and movements were ethereal like an immortal’s, and his rays of de light were untraceable.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The rolling rain of fiery swords was pulverized inch after inch without exception. It was as though dazzling bright fireworks were blooming above the arena. Lin Xun was leisurely strolling among them. Wherever his de passed, everything was obliterated without exception.


    It was too terrifying. A seemingly simple and ordinary de was erupting with unimaginable powers in Lin Xun’s hand.


    Many influential figures were stunned into silence by Lin Xun’s control of the de art.


    Hua Wuyou’s Formless Scarlet Sword was incredibly terrifying and could instantly kill any ordinary advanced Spirit Sea Stage cultivators.


    However, in front of Lin Xun, it seemedpletely useless and unable to withstand a single strike!


    The change was so fast that many people couldn’t digest it yet.


    Previously, although Lin Xun was able to hold out against Hua Wuyou, he was always in a disadvantaged situation and on the verge of being suppressed.


    But now, it was the reverse situation!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Rays of de light crushed the shower of swords the instant they appeared. No one could sit still anymore and their faces contorted with shock. Lin Xun’s strong performance had once again exceeded their imagination!


    Boom—


    After a while, a ray of de light sted Hua Wuyou back and made her pretty face nch.


    At that moment, her expression wasn’t only ice-cold but had also be grave, and her eyes were wide with disbelief.


    How is that possible?!


    How could he, a teenager at the initial Spirit Sea Stage, control such terrifying de power?


    Bewildered, Hua Wuyou couldn’t ept the truth, and her attacks became increasingly terrifying. She truly resembled an enraged Demonness. The Scarlet Firmament de released a fierce cry in her hand.


    However, before long, she was sted back once again. A strand of her silky hair beside her ear had been shed off, and the cut had almost severed her neck!


    Hua Wuyou was horror-struck; her pretty face was livid with disbelief, and her teeth were tightly clenched together. A current of intense anger and unwillingness surged in her heart as she charged forward again.


    Ever since she had embarked on her cultivation path, she had rarely failed because of her remarkable talent. She was a well-known outstanding figure of the younger generation in her n. It would be the greatest humiliation for her if she lost to Lin Xun in front of everyone.


    The battle intensified.


    The de and sword continued to sh in the arena, agitating the wind and clouds in all directions. The entire audience was captivated by the battle, their minds swayed and they almost forgot to breathe.


    This battle was not only exciting, but it was also a battle between the top figures of the younger generation!


    However, all eyes were focused on Lin Xun. He was too unbelievable!


    Who would have thought that Lin Xun would be evenly matched with Hua Wuyou andunch such an unexpected counterattack!?


    No one!


    “Abnormal! So abnormal! Damn it! If he had taken the national exam, he could have easily been ranked in the top five!” Ning Meng cried out strangely, unable to control his emotions.


    “Damn it! I was so worried that he would die. It turns out that the bastard was very confident in winning and wanted to see me make a fool of myself!” Shi Yu said through gritted teeth.


    Gong Ming and Ye Xiaoqi couldn’t help but smile wryly. They also didn’t think Lin Xun would be more abnormal two years after their time in Blood Kill Camp. He could suppress Hua Wuyou when he was just at the initial Spirit Sea Stage! Who would believe it?


    In another box seat, the atmosphere was terrifyingly still, and Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu all looked ashen-faced.


    After a moment, Lin Tianlong squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. “That kid...that kid... has to be killed! I would rather give up on Mind Cleansing Peak than let trouble like him grow up. Otherwise, it would be hard to rest and sleep in peace!”


    His face contorted in a sinister expression, filled with endless murderous intent.


    Lin Xun’s performance was too dazzling. He was only in his teens, yet he was able to suppress Hua Wuyou, a fierce character who had long made a name for herself in the Forbidden City.


    Nothing good woulde for them when he grew up!


    Lin Tianlong’s words made Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu look even more overcast, and their hearts churned endlessly in their chests.


    “Why is it like this? Why? Why?”


    Meanwhile, Hua Wuhen’s expression morphed indefinitely as if lightning had struck him. He couldn’t imagine how his second elder sister, who was like a goddess of war, would fall into such a perilous situation and end up failing to kill Lin Xun quickly!


    How could Hua Wuhen ept this?


    Simr discussions, uproars, and exmations rang throughout the various areas of Sky Martial Arena. Lin Xun’s strong counterattack was truly too astonishing.


    “He has begun to touch upon the door of the imagery power of martial arts. In that regard, Hua Wuyou is inferior to him,” analyzed an influential figure of the older generation.


    “It may be an exaggeration to say that the kid is a martial arts genius, but he isn’t far from it. I have watched the recent national exams, and I know that not one of the top five youngsters could do what he is doing.”


    “Duke Daochen finally has a sessor!”


    “If this kid rises, the bloody tragedy that happened more than ten years ago will surface again. I’m afraid…many people wouldn’t want to see that happen.”


    In the arena, Lin Xun’s de shot forth like flowing light without the slightest showy spark. In the blink of an eye, Hua Wuyou was staggering to dodge the attack!


    Within seconds, Hua Wuyou was riddled with de wounds and blood.


    Taking advantage of that moment, Lin Xun’s de released a glow that made it seem like eternal night had descended upon the world. Countless stars fell from the sky; it was as if doomsday hade and the world was being obliterated.


    Star-Gather!


    A chilling killing intent shed in the depths of Lin Xun’s eyes. A battle of life and death had no room for mercy. In Lin Xun’s heart, there was no difference between men and women, and only differences between enemies and him! Moreover, Hua Wuyou had nned to kill him from the beginning, how could he pretend to want to let her live?


    At that perfect moment, Lin Xununched the Star-Gather!


    Instantly, themotion ceased in the Sky Martial Arena and it fell deathly silent. Everyone’s eyes were wide with horror and disbelief.


    Lin Xun… is going to kill?


    Isn’t he afraid of angering the Hua Family?


    Even Shi Yu and Ning Meng were horrified and surprised, let alone other people. They had already witnessed Lin Xun’s ruthlessness in the past, but they had never thought that he would go all out! However, when they thought about it more, the feeling of ughtering an enemy in a fit of rage and disregarding everything…was indeed very satisfying!


    “No—!”


    The funniest scene was the fact that Lin Tianlong and the others had turned ashen-faced as they were unwilling to see Hua Wuyou killed.


    “Second Elder Sister!” Hua Wuhen screamed like his soul had left his body.


    Everything was happening very quickly, and it was all at the same moment. During that cusp of life and death, Hua Wuyou felt her eyes blur and she fell into a daze. It had never crossed her mind that she would lose, and the duel would end with her death…


    “Little junior! Don’t you dare act wildly!”


    Just as Lin Xun had already brought his de down to obliterate Hua Wuyou, a gush of iparably terrifying pressure enveloped the arena.


    With a loud bang, Lin Xun quivered like lightning had struck him, and his de strike was instantaneously disintegrated.


    Almost at the same time, a wrinkly and slender old man emerged in front of Hua Wuyou like he had teleported. The old man was dressed in a violet robe. His beard and hair were silvery-white, and his eyes were sunken in, swirling with shing lightning.


    It was Hua Qiancheng, a Heaven Ascension cultivator of the Hua n!


    The audience erupted into a wild uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded, not expecting a cultivator of the Hua n to be so shameless as to interfere in a duel between juniors.
