Chapter 3105 Damn You
“Xing Jianxia, he's a once-in-a-million-year cultivation seedling, and you're ruining it!”
Immediately following the old white-haired woman, many people began to bash Xing Jianxia.
“Think about it. When the next epoch arrives, considering his potential, he can definitely enter the Immeasurable Realm after enduring the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Once he comes back to the Sea of Fate after that, who will be able to compete with him?”
“Alas, to think that you, Xing Jianxia, would one day act like a mouse who can see only an inch ahead.”
......
These old monsters were acquainted with Xing Jianxia but didn't have much of a friendship with him and could even be considered rivals.
Yet, all of them were outraged for Lin Xun who was a member of his party, so one could see just how stunning Lin Xun's performance was. This was precisely why they were so confused and deplored the fact that Xing Jianxia had arranged for him to fight.
The lambasted Xing Jianxia didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Oh well, guess I have no choice but to shoulder the blame for now.
He then looked at Lin Xun and he secretly said in his heart, Lin Xun, ah Lin Xun, you absolutely must not lose! Otherwise, when word of this matter spreads, I will surely become an unforgivable sinner in everybody's eyes...
Fu Nanli, on the other hand, burst out laughing. This was too interesting. Even he hadn't expected that these old fellows would be indignant for Lin Xun.
However, did Lin Xun need people to feel sorry for him? He certainly didn't! That was why the whole thing was so interesting to watch.
“And you have the audacity to laugh! If anything happens to the young man today, then Fu Nanli, you are also to blame!”
The old white-haired woman's eyes looked ready to spit fire. Despite the distance between them, her spittle almost hit Fu Nanli's face. The latter was embarrassed and hastily retracted his smile.
This old white-haired woman was known as Madame Crane, and she had a hot temper but was very well-liked. Coming from the Soul Epoch, she was a Greater Boundless Eternal with fierce combat strength.
Fu Nanli didn't want to annoy such a menace for no reason. Ultimately, though, he was unable to get angry because Madame Crane was fighting for Lin Xun's sake.
“Old Xing, it's looking more and more dangerous by the second for the kid. You didn't lie to me, right?”
Daoist Shanfeng was immensely anxious. His eyes had been glued to the battlefield of life or death, and when he saw that Lin Xun's situation kept getting worse, he hated that he couldn't just rush over to help.
Xing Jianxia had no choice but to patiently explain, “Calm down, this is just him trying to sharpen his skills. If he went all out from the start, old bastard Gu Caozhi wouldn't have been able to bear it.”
“For real?” Daoist Shanfeng was skeptical.
“Yes, as real as it gets!”
Xing Jianxia made his declaration with a nervous heart. Lin Xun, I know you want to hone your strength, but you can't just be so passive all the time, alright? If this goes on, you'll be perfectly fine while I'll be drowned to death in these old fellows’ spit!
Right at this moment, a cry rang out from the crowd. In the battlefield of life or death, Lin Xun, who had been at a disadvantage, suddenly flickered and deployed a dao body to block a fatal strike from Gu Caozhi!
“A dao clone that is not weaker than the original form!!!” Madame Crane's eyes lit up. “Interesting, this young man is too interesting.”
The old monsters around were also visibly amazed. With their experience, how could they not see that Lin Xun's clone had the same cultivation level as him? This surprise really gave them a deep impact.
“See that? He clearly came well prepared!” At Four Symbols Heavenly Pass, Ying Tiansheng coldly said, “Which shouldn't be surprising at all. Who in Fate Lotus World doesn't have some cards up their sleeves?”
Sure enough, in the battlefield of life or death, Gu Caozhi let out a cold laugh, “I had expected this much, but unfortunately, your trump card is useless against me!”
Boom!
His sleeves fluttered as he spoke, and with a clang, eighteen scarlet dao swords swept out. They formed a sword formation and swooped down towards Lin Xun. The might of the sword formation was so overwhelming that it triggered cries of alarm all around the field. Many old monsters felt their scalps tingle.
Scarlet Sky Demon Sword Formation! This was Gu Caozhi's killer weapon, renowned as the most ferocious sword formation in the Demonic Epoch.
“Really? It's a pity.” Lin Xun sighed.
When the opponent finally resorted to external treasures during a fierce confrontation, it signified they had shown the limit of their combat power. At this point, the duel was no longer beneficial to Lin Xun.
Therefore, it was time to end it!
“Pity?” Before Gu Caozhi could contemplate what this meant, another Lin Xun clone appeared in his field of vision.
Then, with a loud noise, Lin Xun and his two dao bodies easily repelled his Scarlet Sky Demon Sword Formation. The set of eighteen swords buzzed as it was ruthlessly sent flying, while Lin Xun and his two dao bodies had bolted straight towards Gu Caozhi.
Rumble!
Caught off guard, Gu Caozhi instantly fell into a siege and then was submerged in the bombardment that ensued. The situation had reversed!
“This kid concealed himself too well!”
“Drats! So I felt bad and worried about him for nothing.”
“It's truly...unexpected...”
Various clamors resounded in the audience. These veterans, despite being used to seeing all sorts of fights, were all astonished by the cards that Lin Xun had revealed. The unexpected was often the best surprise, and Lin Xun had staged a 180 that they had never imagined!
“Old Xing, is this Young Friend Lin Xun's killer move? Real formidable if you ask me. Who could have thought he had such powerful clones? Gu Caozhi is done for!”
Daoist Shanfeng was so excited that he almost screeched. He looked nothing like an old monster who had lived for many epochs at this moment.
However, Xing Jianxia understood Daoist Shanfeng's current feeling all too well. During the operation to take down Xinhu's group in Spirit Martial World, he had also felt this kind of uncontrollable excitement. Lin Xun had brought them too many surprises!
Meanwhile, the taciturn Xiao He exhaled a long sigh of relief and became relaxed like a big stone had been removed from his heart.
“Damn it!”
“How could this brat have such strong dao clones? Why have I never heard of such an amazing art before?”
“Gu Caozhi is in danger...”
At Four Symbols Heavenly Pass, Ying Tiansheng, Chu Bugu, and Ning Buqu paled in unison. Gu Caozhi also had a trump card, but it was the Scarlet Sky Demon Sword Formation which had proved unable to pose a threat to his opponent!
This shocked and angered them. Thinking of the way they had subconsciously regarded this young man as an idiot with a death wish, their faces burned like they had been slapped hard on the cheeks.
“Do not panic. If this is all he's got, then he won't be able to kill Gu Caozhi easily. Besides, Gu Caozhi may just be able to turn the tables with his experiences and skills,” said Ying Tiansheng with authority.
Sure enough, Gu Caozhi appeared to be in a sorry state, but he made his moves in a measured manner. Everyone could see that he wouldn't go down anytime soon.
“Small thing, I admit that I underestimated you, but you'd be delusional if you think you can win with just this!” shouted Gu Caozhi coldly.
He was dark-skinned, but his face was currently livid. The creases between his brows were hideous and savage. As a Greater Boundless Eternal who had been tempered by life and death situations his entire life, this was not the first time he had fallen into this kind of predicament. Moreover, he was very confident that he could turn it to his favor!
However, Lin Xun gave him a faint smile. “Delusional? Then I will just send you on your way now.”
Boom!
In this instant, Lin Xun and his two dao bodies went all out. Their energy erupted like never before and put such a heavy pressure on Gu Caozhi that the latter almost coughed up blood. However, Gu Caozhi managed to fend himself in the end and snorted. “Send me on my way? Looks like you failed.”
Right at this juncture, another clone suddenly materialized next to Lin Xun and deployed a killing blow at an incredible speed.
“Damn you!”
Gu Caozhi had already been suppressed by Lin Xun and the two first dao bodies to the point that he could barely see clearly. When the third clone swept out, it completely caught him off guard...and was also impossible to block.
“Break!”
Almost scared out of his mind, Gu Caozhi bellowed and took on a desperate stance. The entirety of his Greater Boundless cultivation base was ignited like fuel.
KABOOM!
In the earth-shattering explosion, Gu Caozhi's desperate strike was destroyed with absolute force. The law power covering him shattered into a splash of countless needles of light. Immediately following, his shell crumbled and blood splattered. His primordial spirit didn't manage to escape as it exploded into smithereens along with the body.
Rumble!
The horrifying wave of destruction was still sweeping through the battlefield of life or death, but Greater Boundless Eternal Gu Caozhi had already been blasted apart on the spot.
The region lurched into silence. Madame Crane and the other spectators stared blankly. The last event had happened as fast as lightning. They had been so overwhelmed that they hadn't been able to timely process the fact Lin Xun had more than more than just two clones...
As a result, the gory death of Gu Caozhi had been an abrupt hit to their brains, sending them straight into a stupor.
It was hard to describe Daoist Shanfeng's feeling at the moment. He was so stumped that his cheeks went red, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a single word, “Fierce!”
Xiao He, on the other hand, was in a trance. A Creation Eternal...can actually really kill a Greater Boundless Eternal!
Xing Jianxia laughed gleefully. Finally, he could stop taking the blame for Lin Xun. When he looked around and saw all the old fellows forgetting themselves, he felt indescribably proud for some reason.
Now, you guys have finally seen how strong our young friend is, right?
Fu Nanli also laughed. Among those present, only he and Xing Jianxia were the most calm, because they knew Lin Xun had more than just three dao bodies...
“Damn it!”
At Four Symbols Heavenly Pass, the ever collected Ying Tiansheng lost his composure. His face darkened, his eyes filled with unconcealable shock and anger.
The other old monsters around him weren't any better, each wearing an unsightly expression. Gu Caozhi had actually been killed just like that!
How he had died had utterly stunned them. They were still having trouble accepting it. Who would dare to believe that a young Creation Eternal could kill a Greater Boundless existence like Gu Caozhi?
At this moment, Lin Xun, who stood in the battlefield of life or death, became the center of attention after successfully stirring the heart and mind of every old monster present.
