Chapter 1697: You Are Not Good Enough

Lin Xun!

It was an unfamiliar name to the majority of the people present.

But this did not stop them from seeing Lin Xun as prey as he held a Flying Immortal Tablet.

This was confirmed by Wei Ziya, so it had to be absolutely true.

The possession of a Flying Immortal Tablet meant one could seek good fortune and avoid calamity, as well as cross some insurmountable barriers and land of dangers and seize the fortunes there!

Suddenly, Lin Xun went from being a nobody to being the center of attention.

Even outstanding characters such as Kun Jiulin, Wen Qingxue, Tang Su, Wei Ziya and Hua Xingli all shifted their gazes.

In their eyes was a mix of curiosity, murderous intent and also interest.

Unflustered, Lin Xun sent a voice transmission to A’hu, “Leave everything to me. Just pretend that you don’t know me and watch the show.”

A’hu unhesitatingly went along with his plan.

Among everyone present, she was probably the one who understood Lin Xun’s background the best. She also knew that anyone who thought Lin Xun was weak prey was gravely wrong.

“Everyone, let me introduce you all, this boy is the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield, a man of great stature from the Ancient Wasteland Domain.” Xue Qingyi had a sinister look on his face as he spoke leisurely.

They were not on the Nine Domains Battlefield anymore, but instead at the Flying Immortal River, where peerless genius and talents who ruled the Ancient Nebula Road had gathered.

On Lin Xun was a Flying Immortal Tablet that could make anyone’s heart flutter with excitement. This was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to kill with a borrowed sword.

Xue Qingyue would not miss out on this perfect opportunity.

Everyone darted disapproving looks at Lin Xun.

Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield? A man of great stature? He is nothing in the Ancient Nebula Road.

“Oh, by the way, as far as I know, that boy has more than one Flying Immortal Tablet on him. If I have lied then you can pursue the matter with me.”

The entire crowd shuffled restlessly when they heard Xue Qingyi’s remarks.

They did not care who Lin Xun was. They only cared about how many Flying Immortal Tablets Lin Xun had on him and Xue Qingyi’s confirmation made them increasingly eager to take action.

“Everyone, remember what I said, Lin Xun is my prey!” Kun Jiulin was the first to speak out, his powerful and resounding voice filled with murderous intent.

He fixed his eyes on Lin Xun as if he was staring at a dead person.

“Your prey? Haha, Kun Jiulin, you are indeed arrogant,” sneered a showy and domineering man in a golden robe.

Tao Jianxing, a pure-blooded descendant of the Taowu Battle Clan!

Kun Jiulin’s face turned dark and unpleasant and his eyes were ice-cold.

“I have no time to argue with you all. I just want a Flying Immortal Tablet. If you have any objection then feel free to talk to the sword in my hand.”

A handsome young man in a scholarly robe spoke calmly. He seemed very conceited. He had a sword-shaped mark in the center between his eyebrows, and his eyes were flashing with sword-like light.

Yan Chunjun, a successor of the Heaven and Earth Dao Court!

Many people had yet to speak, but they all donned the same determined expression on their faces when they looked at Lin Xun.

Wen Qingxue quietly watched on, remaining calm and indifferent.

Hua Xingli wrinkled his brows and shot a glare at Xue Qingyi, seeming unhappy that he caused such a tense and hostile situation.

Ling Kezi, a charmingly naive monk from the Nanhua Ancient Temple, quickly took out a string of prayer beads upon seeing the scene and recited scriptures in his mind.

But his eyes would occasionally dart around the area, showing cunningness and sharp-thinking.

Only Tang Su’s eyes lit up and she cried out in her husky and magnetic voice as if hoping to see the world in chaos, “Brother, those guys see you as prey. Are you going to take that insult? If I were you, I would get rid of a few of the loudest ones first to show them that you are not a pushover.”

She was dressed in a black robe, but her eyes gleamed as bright as the stars under the brim of her hat. She fanned the flames without any restraint or fear of anyone.

Everyone scrunched their brows, irritated, but no one dared to say anything to her.

This was one of the benefits of fame and reputation.

Wielding the Skycutter Blade, Blade Maniac Tang Su had once moved unhindered across the starry sky. Among her peers, who would have the courage to confront a woman who was tougher than any man?

Lin Xun might be well known throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain, but here, he was just a nobody.

Originally, Lin Xun felt unjust at being treated as a prey by everyone, but after hearing what Tang Su said, he couldn’t help smiling.

That woman is indeed interesting...

Lin Xun had to be impressed with her ability in openly fanning the flames and sowing discord.

Lin Xun turned his hand over and a Flying Immortal Tablet was sitting in his palm. Without any blabbering, he said directly, “Whoever wants it can come and get it.”

His voice was indifferent, yet it contained a hint of superiority.

Tang Su’s eyes lit even brighter, and she gave a thumbs up. “What a man!”

Many cultivators were also secretly awed by Lin Xun’s bearing. With a crowd of people staring at him, he dared to take out a Flying Immortal Tablet in such a direct and fearless manner. This was not something an ordinary person could do.

“Tell me about that person.” Hua Xingli commanded, his abnormally pale face glowing with a hint of interest.

How would Xue Qingyi dare to refuse? He immediately sent a voice transmission and began to recount all of Lin Xun’s deeds on the Nine Domains Battlefield.

At the same time, someone stepped forward. It turned out to be Lu Beigu from the Red Sun Battle Clan. Leaping down from the red flame python dragon, he said in a deep voice, “Everyone, allow me to test that boy’s skill. If I win, then the Flying Immortal Tablet belongs to me. If I lose, I can only blame myself for not being good enough.”

Everyone’s eyes flashed, but they were hesitant to act.

The entrance to the Kunlun Dominion was about to open, so no one would want to fight to the death over a prey just before then.

But at the same time, no one wanted to give up an opportunity to snatch a Flying Immortal Tablet.

“You are not good enough.”

Lin Xun spoke before anyone could respond. His calm and indifferent voice and the way he offered not so much as a glance at Lu Beigu showed his disregard to him.

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

The guy from the Ancient Wasteland Domain is arrogant!

Lu Beigu was a descendant of the Red Sun Battle Clan, one of the Great Ten Battle Clans, and a born cultivation genius.

He had only been practicing for three hundred years, but he was now a famous supreme Big Saint. His cultivation progress and speed made many old monsters bow their heads in shame.

But Lin Xun actually said that he was not good enough!

Lu Beigu’s countenance changed, as if he had not expected that a lowly prey would dare to speak so arrogantly to him.

“Someone else.”

Lin Xun still did not look at Lu Beigu, but his eyes landed on Tao Jianxing, Kun Jiulin and the others. They were the ones who had shouted the loudest earlier.

Someone else…

Many people were flabbergasted. Those two simple words were tantamount to showing extreme contempt for Lu Beigu, which was very insulting.

Lu Beigu’s face turned dark. He wanted to seize the opportunity to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, but instead he was looked down upon!

“Hahaha—”

Tang Su gloated, finding the situation incredibly fun and entertaining.

She saw Lin Xun in a new light after his little performance. Regardless of his strength and ability, his courage alone was worthy of her admiration.

Tang Su’s unrestrained laughter infuriated Lu Beigu.

“Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

Boom!

His figure shot across the air. He threw a palm strike, enveloping Lin Xun from every direction like a curtain of the sky. The profound meaning of the great dao spread out, causing the space to crumble and collapse.

The enraged attack of a supreme Big Saint was indeed remarkable!

Lin Xun did not so much as look at it before he also thrust out his palm.

Rumble!

The palm power launched by Lu Beigu immediately crumbled, as if swallowed by a giant abyss, leaving not a shred of it behind.

Then, Lin Xun’s palm, like a sacred mountain being lifted by an ancient god, crashed down hard on Lu Beigu.

Bang!

He flew backwards, smashing through the void, blood spewing from his mouth and nostrils. He plunged like a broken kite and just missed from falling into the Flying Immortal River.

“Annoying fly,” Lin Xun uttered indifferently.

The entire area fell silent. Many people inhaled sharply and felt their eyelids twitch, aghast by Lin Xun’s domineering palm strike.

No one imagined that a fierce character like Lu Beigu would be swatted away like a fly. What an astonishing scene!

Tang Su gasped, “It’s more interesting to be surprised. Brother, you are indeed not ordinary!”

Experts like Kun Jiulin, Wei Ziya, Tao Jianxing, Yan Chunjun and others couldn’t help but knit their brows together. Lu Beigu was defeated at the first exchange! This was a huge shock to them.

“You are not strong enough yet you wanted to target Lin Xun. Ignorance is indeed fearless...” A’hu muttered to herself.

In her opinion, Lu Beigu was looking for trouble. He hadn’t even made it onto the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, yet he dared to prance around like that.

“Again!” Lu Beigu roared as he shot up. He erupted with an infinite blaze of light. He was truly infuriated.

He violently charged across the void like the god of flames. Even the universe trembled under that force.

Boom!

He threw a punch, and faintly, an endless sea of lava and flames swept the sky, boundlessly terrifying.

This was unquestionably Lu Beigu’s true power. He had vividly demonstrated the foundation of a peerless supreme Big Saint. Many people in the audience nodded their heads secretly in recognition.

But the next moment, Lu Beigu was blasted back once again. He came quickly but he left even quicker.

This time, Lin Xun struck him with a palm strike from a distance, causing his skin to split and his bones to snap. As much as he tried to hold it in, the pain came out in the form of a miserable scream.

Splash!

He crashed directly into the Flying Immortal River, looking tragic and humiliated.

If he had not rushed out in time, the river water that was formed by clear and turbid qi would have swept him away and obliterated him!

There was stunned silence.

The first time might be a fluke, but the second time was a real battle of strength, but unfortunately, Lu Beigu was still crushed!

Even Wen Qingxue, Hua Xingli and the others couldn’t help but take a proper look at Lin Xun. Only then did they realize that the young man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain was no ordinary character!

It was impossible for an ordinary supreme Big Saint to defeat Lu Beigu so effortlessly.

Was Lu Beigu not strong enough?

No!

It was just that the guy called Lin Xun was far stronger than Lu Beigu!

All of a sudden, many people’s gazes changed when they looked at Lin Xun.

“Three strikes and you are out. If you try again, I will send you to death.”

Seeing that the seething Lu Beigu was about to charge at him again, Lin Xun wrinkled his brows. His cold dark eyes flashed with a frightening killing intent.

Lu Beigu trembled uncontrollably and all his anger faded from his face. He was rooted to the spot as if his feet had been nailed to the ground.
