Chapter 1406 The Black Robe King’s Identity

An epic clash was ongoing high up in the sky as if two gods were fighting.

Even from beyond the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands, one could see the land being devastated and flooded by endless sword qi and Saint aura.

"It’s a battle of unprecedented proportions!"

Several empire King experts were horrified.

Zhao Jingxuan remained silent. She naturally wouldn’t reveal that she had witnessed similar battles more than once in the Supreme Realm.

Moreover, there was no shortage of battles that were even more terrifying and dreadful than this!

Bang!

Amidst a deafening collision, the Barbarian God Phantasm was sent flying through the air, spasming violently along the way.

Its expression had become incomparably grave. Not even in its wildest dreams would it have imagined that the opponent would be so irrationally strong and be unable to be measured by common sense.

Clang!

The Yuantu Sword rose into the air, casting a vision of the underworld river and demons and gods dying over the land.

At that very moment, Lin Xun resembled a supreme sword demon!

By this juncture, he had concluded that the Barbarian God Phantasm, who possessed the combined strength of thirteen Brute Kings, was at best similar in terms of combat power to Yun Qingbai, if not slightly inferior.

It was because Yun Qingbai's sword dao had attained the power of the supreme path, which a mere Barbarian God Phantasm would never be able to replicate.

The Barbarian God Phantasm was powerful in the sense that it was extremely strong. In fact, it was probably the strongest existence Lin Xun had faced under the Saint stage.

However, strength was ultimately strength while combat power was combat power. They were two similar yet fundamentally different concepts.

It wasn’t long before Lin Xun once again knocked the opponent back, causing him to fall from the sky and smash into the ground.

Even the thickest of skins would not be able to withstand such impact. The Barbarian God Phantasm couldn't help but scream in pain, feeling as if all the bones in its body were on the verge of shattering.

Rumble!

Lin Xun descended from the sky and raised his foot with the intent to crush the opponent’s head.

The Barbarian God Phantasm roared, "Scram!"

The totem tattoos that covered its body suddenly shone as a blazing divine radiance emerged, causing his aura to skyrocket.

The bone necklace on its neck suddenly flew into the air and turned into a gaping, bloody mouth that attempted to swallow Lin Xun.

Oh?

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank, sensing that something was wrong. He immediately summoned the Dao Endless Pagoda to suppress it.

Boom!

The two forces collided, causing heaven and earth to lose color and the sun and moon to lose light.

The mouth began to lose inch by inch and eventually turned back into the bone necklace with a loud boom.

The necklace shattered and scattered onto the ground a split second later.

"You...you’ve destroyed my tribe’s Saint treasure!"

The Barbarian God Phantasm released an earth-shattering roar that contained incomparable shock and anger. It never imagined that its strongest Saint treasure would be destroyed after a single blow.

Or rather it didn’t dare to believe so.

It must be known that the bone necklace was made from a Saint expert’s head and was called the Saint’s Skull Necklace.

However, it had now been destroyed by a single attack!

This made it realize that the Dao Endless Pagoda was an inconceivably incredible treasure.

"Slash!"

Lin Xun immediately summoned the Yuantu Sword and attacked.

Plop!

The Barbarian God Phantasm was caught by surprise and barely avoided the blow. However, it was still hit by a wave of sword qi that left a bloody gash on its waist and nearly severed it in half!

"Impossible...absolutely impossible...how can you be this powerful..."

The Barbarian God Phantasm was flustered and finally felt threatened.

"Slash!"

Lin Xun didn't bother to reply and continued to attack with the Yuantu Sword.

With a loud crack, the Barbarian God Phantasm's white bone spear was cleaved into two by the Yuantu Sword's sharp edge!

Meanwhile, blood spewed from the Barbarian God Phantasm's mouth and nose as it dimmed and flickered.

"Slash!"

Lin Xun didn’t relent. The Yuantu Sword moved like lightning, raising a wave of torrential blood-colored light that seemed to hang in the sky like an enormous blood river.

Amidst loud rumbling and a series of shrieks, the Barbarian God Phantasm finally reached its limit and exploded, turning back into thirteen figures that stumbled and fell from the sky.

It was the thirteen Brute Kings.

Their faces were deathly pale, they looked gravely injured, and their expressions were filled with horror and anger that was impossible to conceal.

They had come amply prepared and believed they would easily exterminate Lin Xun with their secret art.

Who could have imagined that they would end up not only losing two Saint treasures but also receive serious injuries?!

"Go!"

They choose to flee without any hesitation.

However, how could Lin Xun possibly allow them to leave? With a wave of his sleeve, seven-hundred-and-twenty Taixuan sword qi flew out and combined into the Great Void Killer Sword Array.

Plop plop plop!

The Brute King experts were decapitated one after another as their headless bodies burst to pieces and fell from the sky.

No one was spared!

At this moment, the entire place was deathly silent with only the thick scent of blood spreading in the air.

Beyond the Great Wind Thunder Wetlands, the empire experts were in a daze while a single question dominated their minds: how strong was Young Master Lin?

On the Black Wind Mountain, the White Wasp King and other monster-beast Kings were so shaken that they couldn’t form a single coherent thought.

After witnessing such an unrivaled battle, even the stupidest among them thoroughly understood that Lin Xun could easily slaughter them!

"It's your turn."

High in the sky, Lin Xun looked down upon the White Wasp King and the other monster-beasts with an expression that was neither sad nor happy but completely indifferent and calm.

The White Wasp King shrieked, "Black Robe King, if you still don’t come out, all of us will die today because of you!"

The other monster-beast Kings also shouted in terror, "Black Robe King, why are you still not coming out?"

It was clear that the Black Robe King had become their only hope.

Lin Xun's gaze also shifted to the sealed cave dwelling on Black Wind Mountain where the Black Robe King was supposedly in seclusion.

However, there was no movement from the cave dwelling.

"It seems that the Black Robe King has no intention of rescuing you guys."

Lin Xun's expression was emotionless. With a buzzing sound, the Yuantu Sword soared into the sky like a red rainbow, filling the air with a monstrously bloody aura.

"NOO——"

As it sunk in that they were finally facing Lin Xun for real, the White Wasp King’s and the other monster-beast King’s spirits immediately crumbled, making it impossible even to entertain the thought of resistance.

He was too terrifying, and they could only despair before him.

"Slash!"

With a thought, the Yuantu Sword transformed into a streak of light.

Rumble!

It was at this moment that a black figure suddenly rushed out from the cave dwelling and blocked the sword with incredible speed.

Clang!

A dreadful collision occurred as the black figure was forced several dozen steps back.

The ground cracked with each step, leaving a sizable crater behind.

Upon closer inspection, the figure was discovered to be holding a battle spear. However, the spear had already been hacked in half by Lin Xun’s sword.

"Black Robe King!"

The White Wasp King and the other monster-beasts were overjoyed and felt reinvigorated.

The figure, who was wrapped entirely in a black robe, was none other than the Black Robe King. However, his appearance caused Lin Xun to frown as he felt a vague sense of familiarity.

The Black Robe King suddenly said, "Master, can you spare them this once?"

His words, however, were like a bolt from the blue, causing the White Wasp King and the others to be dumbfounded.

Master?

The Black Robe King is calling Lin Xun master?

Meanwhile, Lin Xun finally guessed the other party’s identity and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, ''Scarlet Eagle King?"

The Black Robe King removed his hat, revealing a pale face covered by a complicated expression, "Master, I never imagined that we would meet like this."

Lin Xun was caught off guard.

He had previously searched high and low for Scarlet Eagle King in the empire’s Southwest Province but to no avail, making Lin Xun believe that the Scarlet Eagle King had met his demise.

Unexpectedly, the other party had now appeared in front of him as the Black Robe King!

It was something that Lin Xun would never have anticipated.

Lin Xun wasn’t alone. The White Wasp King and the others were feeling stupefied that the Black Robe King they had pinned all their hopes on was acknowledging Lin Xun as his master. The contrast between expectation and reality was simply too drastic.

"I didn't expect my Lin Clan to produce a traitor."

Lin Xun's expression turned cold.

"Master, please let me explain."

Just as he was about to continue, he was interrupted by Lin Xun, ''Explain? Sure, I'll hear your explanation after I kill these sinful animals!"

As he spoke, he drew the Yuantu Sword and attacked again!

Swish!

Sword qi slashed across the air like a rainbow.

It was no surprise that Lin Xun was angry. When he first returned to the lower plane and heard that the Scarlet Eagle King was a traitor, he refused to believe it and assumed it was slander from the Zuo Clan.

In the end, however, he discovered that the Scarlet Eagle King had indeed become a traitor!

How could Lin Xun possibly accept this?

The battle erupted again. In his rage, Lin Xun showed no mercy and massacred the White Wasp King and the other monster-beasts in mere moments.

It was futile no matter how much they wailed and struggled.

Amidst the process, Scarlet Eagle King appeared to be in great pain as he struggled internally. He trembled and gritted his teeth but didn’t make a single sound.

It was impossible for anyone else to know how tormented and agonized he was inside.

Shiing!

Lin Xun put away the Yuantu Sword and landed on Black Wind Mountain. He frostily gazed at the Scarlet Eagle King and said, "You can explain now."

The Scarlet Eagle King was stunned. After a long time, he finally let out a sigh and said, ''I was wrong from the very beginning, and there’s no longer any need to explain at this juncture. It's my fault for angering Master. All I ask now is for a painless death!"

He then looked at Lin Xun with a calm expression.

Lin Xun sneered, ''You think I won’t dare?"

He was furious and felt that he had been deceived and betrayed.

Scarlet Eagle King was silent.

Suddenly, a cold and majestic voice sounded from under Black Wind Mountain, "Useless trash! I can’t believe I accepted such a useless successor after countless years. You are a disgrace to me!"

The Scarlet Eagle King’s expression abruptly changed as he cried out, ''Master, leave quickly!"

Boom!

However, it was already too late. A giant horrifying hand suddenly reached out from under Black Wind Mountain, covering the sky and sun as it loomed over Lin Xun.

Lin Xun felt all of his hair stand on end.

"Run!"

With a roar, the Scarlet Eagle King charged into the sky. Raging light erupted from him as he rushed at the giant hand with unwavering resolve.
