Chapter 1296 A Sudden Turn of Events

It hadn’t been long since Lin Xun had counterattacked, but the situation had changed drastically.

Bai Longting was chopped to death, and Underworld Son was destroyed from body to spirit… One by one, the apex characters were killed in battle.

Those bloody scenes scared the audience witless!

The sound of water drizzling still echoed as blood rained down. The tribulation lightning shone down, reflecting Lin Xun’s tall figure in a dazzling light effect.

His hair danced in the air as he dominated the field. He was alone, but he was like the invincible overlord of this world as his every punch stirred the wind and clouds.

Just watching him from afar made one feel small and hopeless.

Among those who had fallen, many were leaders of the major forces in the Supreme Realm and high-rankers on the Genius Gold Rankings.

But facing Lin Xun, they truly were no different from a bunch of incompetent thugs!

Just how powerful did he have to be to be able to display such a gap from the rest?

At some point, his opponents had become disorganized, choosing to hold back and retreat. No one dared to jump into the battle like before.

It was as if the space occupied by Lin Xun was a hell pit capable of burying anyone!

The fight had reached the point where everyone could see that the tide had turned completely and Demon God Lin’s ferocious might could no longer be suppressed!

Previously, despite everyone’s comprehension of Lin Xun, they had still expected that he would be powerless against their numbers like an egg trying to end its life prematurely by throwing itself at a stone.

However, it turned out to be the opposite.

With the fall of Bai Longting, Underworld Son, and an array of other apex characters, Lin Xun had paved his way out of death!

𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He had overturned fate with his own hands!

This was something that no one could have predicted.

Boom!

Another powerful cultivator in the battlefield exploded to death.

With this, Lin Xun had finished cleaning out all of his opponents.

The field was dead silent. Everyone felt an unprecedented fear as they looked at the steely figure bathed in radiant dao light.

Such a monster. Is he still human?

Who in the entire Upper Nine Realms can suppress him anymore?

“Anyone else who is not convinced, feel free to come at me!”

The choking stench of blood filled the region as the ground was riddled with scars and broken corpses. Lin Xun stood in the sky above it all. His voice was not loud, but it caused everyone to stiffen up.

His eyes were as piercing as lightning and as profound as an abyss as they swept the area.

Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

This was the might built on his killing spree!

The threat from bones and blood would forever be much more convincing from that of verbal threats!

The atmosphere kept thickening with silence, with only the echoing of Lin Xun’s calm and cold voice. Many people felt the urge to flee.

Right then, the tribulation clouds receded from the sky along with the sound of thunder, marking the end of A’lu’s sixth longevity tribulation.

Lin Xun turned around to see a mangled A’lu being wrapped in a heavy blanket of lightning arcs.

“Boss, I made it!” announced A’lu with tears swelling in his eyes.

The barbarian had a crude personality, but at this moment, his voice was choked and emotional.

Lin Xun’s heart also rose and fell with emotions.

If he hadn’t arrived in time, then the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Recuperate well!” Lin Xun advised him.

But all of a sudden, a metallic sound resounded as a platinum halberd appeared out of nowhere and streaked toward A’lu.

The wielder was a domineering and ferocious young man. His hair was white, and his pupils glowed with a demonic, golden light. One would see a bloody image of hell after being stared at by those eyes.

The halberd in his hand was no less astonishing, looking as if it was cast in white gold. Its blade, branded with mysterious runes, flashed with a sharp glint and emitted a murderous aura so vast that it caused the sky and earth to dim.

This was an extremely powerful expert, even stronger than the likes of Bai Longting and Underworld Son!

Cries of shock rang out from the crowd.

After Lin Xun had defeated all of his opponents and A’lu had successfully passed his tribulation, they had all thought that the battle had come to an end.

Who could have imagined that such a classic turn of events would occur at this moment?

And the timing was extremely precise, seizing the period when A’lu was still weakened after the lightning strike. The other party had obviously planned this!

“Seeking death!” Lin Xun snorted, his eyes flaring with killing intent. However, he wasn’t worried.

He had expected this from the very beginning of the battle. The reason why he had held back when being surrounded by Bai Longting and the others had been in order to reserve his strength, so that when those hiding in the dark jumped out, he could catch them in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, because he didn’t want to distract A’lu, he had launched his counterattack early.

But that was no longer important. The important thing was that Lin Xun was not caught off guard by this sudden attack.

Clang!

An ear-piercing sound resounded as a golden coin flew into the scene and blocked the white-haired man’s strike!

“Trash. Are ambushes the only thing you’re capable of?” A green-clad Toady appeared with a look of disdain on his handsome, youthful face.

Above his head floated a round coin with a square at the center, a pair of wings, and obscure dao patterns on its surfaces. It was spinning and glowing like a mini sun.

It was the Treasure Suppressing Coin!

“Hmph!”

The white-haired youth frowned, obviously a little surprised. However, he wasn’t discouraged and once again charged over with his halberd.

As the halberd glided through the air, a rumble echoed, and the sky seemed to collapse.

Vaguely, everyone could see a white tiger proudly roaming the galaxy. Roaring and pouncing, it shattered every star on its path.

“Who is he?”

The crowd’s expressions changed in shock. The white-haired man was too powerful. His monstrous, murderous might was as boundless as the sea, making them feel extremely oppressed.

And their hearts palpitated at the fact that no one recognized who he was!

“I’m certain that he is not anyone in the top one hundred of the Genius Gold Rankings,” a person declared.

Boom!

A fight erupted as the white-haired man and Toady clashed.

The fight was intense as one was sweeping across the field with his platinum halberd and sky-blotting murderous aura, while the other sought to suppress him with his Treasure Suppressing Coin and a might that was just as boundless.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but look serious. Toady had obtained the Burning Immortal inheritance on top of being an extremely powerful ancient-era genius himself, so he had progressed quickly over the past several years.

In terms of cultivation speed alone, Toady had stepped into the sixth longevity stage half a year earlier than Lin Xun!

And when it came to real fighting power, Toady was not at all inferior to those apex figures like Bai Longting and Underworld Son.

Yet at the moment, he couldn’t gain a single advantage in the fight against the white-haired man!

“I didn’t think it’d be a descendant of the White Tiger Lineage!” Toady suddenly let out an icy laugh. However, his expression had never been quite so serious.

The White Tiger Lineage were killers. In the ancient era, they were notorious for having a history of slaying gods and slaughtering Saints. The terror they had brought knew no bounds.

Like the legendary True Dragon, Celestial Phoenix, Vermillion Bird and similar mythical lineages, they had only been seen in the early ancient era.

There was a clamor in the area as the onlookers were shocked to learn that the white-haired young man actually came from such a horrifying clan.

But why had someone this powerful remained silent all these years?

Whoosh!

The big black bird made a ghostly appearance in the middle of the fight and swung its wok at the white-haired man from behind!

The extreme speed and decisiveness of the bird’s action made the onlookers gawk in speechlessness. Its skillful execution of knocking out people simply had reached the pinnacle.

“What’s the hurry? Your opponent is me!” a soft and gloomy voice suddenly rang out.

Looking over, a black shadow was writhing in the sky before abruptly transforming into a thin youth.

He had violet hair, blood-red eyes, and wore a silver outfit. His figure was like an illusory lightning bolt, giving off an uncertain and hollow feeling.

The most frightening thing about him was his speed. The instant he took a step, he appeared on the big black bird’s path in a flash and struck out his palm.

Boom!

Caught off guard, the big black bird faltered and was pushed back in the clash. Annoyed and embarrassed, it flapped its wings and pounced at the newly appeared youth.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The bird was very fast, but astonishingly, the violet-haired young man was just as fast!

Moving at such an imaginable speed, his figure flickered and flashed, accompanied by the crackling and popping sounds of lightning.

The fight between the two was one of speed. They were like a small sun and a lightning bolt racing and clashing in the sky.

Many powerful cultivators were appalled as they couldn’t keep up with the fight using their eyes, and their spirit sense also failed to lock on the two.

They had heard about the big black bird, but the violet-haired youth was extremely unfamiliar!

Who is this guy?

Just like the white-haired youth, he had neither had any reputation nor been on the Genius Gold Rankings.

However, there was no doubt that his fighting prowess was extremely terrifying!

The appearance of the violet-haired. scarlet-eyed youth was a sudden turn that caused Lin Xun to frown. Even he hadn’t expected that a character of this caliber would jump out from the shadows.

And there were more than one of them at that!

If so, then apart from these two, can there be more similar characters hiding around?

Lin Xun’s eyes were cold as he scanned the entire area.

Whooch!

Suddenly, a void near A’lu shattered, and a figure staggered back. A surprised yelp slipped out from her lips, ‘‘God Devourer Insect! How…how can such a thing still exist?!”

It was a lovely and healthy-looking little girl wearing a red dress. Her appearance was innocent and childish, but her eyes were charming and gave a sense of maturity.

However, she currently looked like she was in a bit of a mess, clearly having suffered some sort of injury as her face was pale and full of shock.

“Humph! Despicable thing! It’s a good thing we’ve always kept an eye out for you rats!” Little Silver appeared in the vicinity of A’lu, his little face cold and his eyes sharp.

Everyone in the field finally understood the situation. This powerful expert with the appearance of a little girl had approached A’lu unknowingly and delivered a surprise attack.

However, she failed and even suffered at Little Silver’s hands!

“So from the very beginning of the battle, Demon God Lin had already kept his guard up for this. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to block so many sneak attacks like that…” someone murmured.
