Chapter 1727: Killing Begins with Climbing the Stairs

The bloody scene that was caused by killing Tao Yao with one punch shocked everyone present.

Everyone felt a monstrous killing intent emanating from Lin Xun, and they couldn't help but have a strong premonition.

An opportunity related to gaining the foundation to be an Emperor? Lin Xun didn’t care about it at all. He had come here to kill people!

"Let's go; hurry up and follow him."

"An astonishing war is about to break out!"

At this moment, all the nearby cultivators returned, shouting excitedly as their blood boiled.

Before, whether it was Nie Fu or Tao Yao, they were extremely domineering, arrogant, and extremely overbearing. Lin Xun's attack made them all feel refreshed as if they had spat out something disgusting.

And when they saw Lin Xun fighting his way on Concealed Dragon Road, many people followed him without hesitation. Everyone knew that his appearance was bound to set off a bloody storm at Imperial Dragon Mountain!

...

As soon as he stepped onto Concealed Dragon Road, Lin Xun immediately felt that the area around him was full of restrictions, so he couldn't fly away at all.

Moreover, this winding mountain road seemed to be only a few feet wide, but walking on it gave him a sense of vastness.

A superimposed space?

Lin Xun felt it as he walked.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the road, "This place has been closed off, so get down from the mountain!"

Lin Xun reached out and grabbed at the person.

Boom!

The void rolled like a tide, and someone was yoinked out like a mere chicken from a rock dozens of feet away.

This person was also a ruthless cultivator of the Blood Qilin War Clan, but before he could struggle, he was crushed. Gruesome blood rained down like a waterfall.

Lin Xun did not look back and continued to climb the mountain.

Many cultivators following Lin Xun saw this and couldn't help but sharply take in a breath of cold air. It was too domineering, and this kind of combat power was too astonishing.

"Master, I have found out that three days ago, Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and Yuan Fatian appeared here. The former was suppressed by Gu Cangxin, and the latter was suppressed by Kun Jiulin,” Little Silver whispered in Lin Xun's ear.

He had just devoured the residuals of Tao Yao's soul and collected some valuable information.

"However, they were not killed. They said they would use their lives to force you, Master, to surrender."

Lin Xun's black eyes flashed, "So, they are indeed setting up a death trap here and targeting me?"

Little Silver nodded and told Lin Xun some more news.

Many powerful figures had gathered at the top of Imperial Dragon Mountain. They were from the Primordial Dao Court, Heaven and Earth Dao Court, Blood Qilin Battle Clan, Taowu Battle Clan and other major forces.

They were basically planning on killing Lin Xun and seizing his Flying Immortal Tablets.

Among them included Tao Jianxing, Gu Cangxin, Kun Jiulin and other names that Lin Xun was familiar with. There were also some unfamiliar ones.

Many of them were considered the apex and dazzling figures among the supreme Saints, and there were enough of them that they could be considered a giant behemoth. Such a gathering was enough to scare off any ordinary cultivator!

"By the way, in Tao Yao's soul memory, there were indeed some people who had a Flying Immortal Tablet at the very beginning. They had climbed to the top of the mountain and entered a mysterious forbidden area. Furthermore, there was more than one of them."

Little Silver continued quickly, "Gu Cangxin and others have entered that mysterious forbidden area by using the Flying Immortal Tablets taken from Little Golden Winged Dapeng King and the others."

"I understand."

Lin Xun's heart was filled with a murderous intent.

Not long after moving forward, another figure appeared on the mountain road. He was wearing a dark green robe, held a bronze spear, and looked cold.

It was Nie Fu who had just left the foot of the mountain!

"Huh? Lin Xun! You..."

Nie Fu was startled at first, and then his eyes immediately flickered. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

He realized that something was wrong and wanted to convey a message.

Puff!

The Broken Blade suddenly swiped out, flashing in the air like a stream of light. Nie Fu's legs were sliced off, and his upper body slammed heavily onto the mountain road amidst a spray of blood. He groaned and screamed in pain.

Earlier, at the foot of the mountain road, Nie Fu was alone, looking down on the rest, mocking and provoking them at will. Despite that, no one dared to confront him.

But now, with just one attack, he was severely injured, and his legs were cut off!

The gruesome scene shocked the cultivators following Lin Xun again. He seemed to be more terrifying than the rumors!

This time, Lin Xun did not strike a killing blow. Instead, he took out a silver rope, tied up Nie Fu's upper body, and dragged him forward on the ground.

Like he was pulling along a dying animal!

Many people felt their hearts pound. Nie Fu was a disciple of the Primordial Dao Court. On the Ancient Nebula Road, who would dare to humiliate him like this?

But Lin Xun did it without blinking an eye.

Whoosh!

A gray arrow shot from the front of the mountain path. It was incredibly fast as it tore a straight crack into the void.

Lin Xun didn't even look at it as he raised his hand to grab it out of midair before throwing it back. The arrow shot in the other direction at an even faster speed.

Puff!

A dull sound of piercing the flesh echoed, and someone screamed.

It was a man in splendid clothes. His chest had been pierced, so his face was pale as he twitched in a pool of blood.

Lin Xun simply and efficiently strung him up on the rope like Nie Fu had been before dragging him along and continuing forward.

The stone steps continued up the mountain in a windy manner.

The two prey were dragged along, and their bodies collided with the stone steps rhythmically. Although these thumps did not cause any substantial damage, the two victims looked extremely humiliated and embarrassed.

They screamed, roared, and cursed, but it was all useless. Lin Xun, who was walking in front, did not even look back at them.

Before long, more enemies appeared on the mountain road. This time it was a group of more than a dozen, and there were both men and women among them. All of them were extraordinary and far more powerful than ordinary cultivators.

Seeing this, those who followed Lin Xun thought that he would be in trouble, but the next moment, they were stunned.

Lin Xun stepped forward, and thousands of blazing, vast, and sharp sword qi suddenly swept out of him. They were densely packed before condensing into a mountain of sword qi that slashed down.

Earth Deity Sword Mountain!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An earth-shaking roar resounded, and the large group were aware of the danger. They immediately sacrificed their secret treasures and used all of their might to attack.

But it was all in vain. Each sword qi mountain was so heavy and terrifying that it was unimaginable, and they were all filled with an unparalleled killing aura, branded with Taixuan sword intent.

Regardless of what treasures or methods they used, they were all like fragile bubbles that were completely crushed before dissipating in the void.

In just a blink of an eye, more than a dozen men and women were suppressed. Their bodies were covered with wounds, blood, and shocking sword marks.

Everyone watching was stunned.

In a one-on-one situation, Lin Xun had killed top experts like them as if he was killing chickens, which was already a heart-shaking fact.

And now, in a one-on-many situation, Lin Xun still suppressed them with a single blow. This kind of overwhelming and invincible style was completely beyond what everyone could imagine.

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Without exception, these suppressed experts were all tied up one by one, resembling a bunch of tamed bloody livestock, before being dragged behind Lin Xun.

Bang bang bang...

Their bodies collided with the stone steps, and the dull sound was like an astonishing, bloody note, which was frightening to all who heard it.

"He is going to completely burn all bridges with the disciples of big forces!"

Some people were shocked and lost their voices.

"In the Ancient Nebula Road, who would dare to treat the disciples of those big forces like him?"

The cultivators who followed from behind were originally here to watch the fun, but now they were all dumbfounded. Their scalps were numb, and their emotions fluctuated.

Lin Xun was too cruel and reckless. His actions were beyond their imagination.

Imperial Dragon Mountain was extremely majestic, and the road up it was as long as a dragon. Because it was impossible to fly or teleport, climbing up the steps took relatively long.

However, no one felt bored or annoyed by the journey.

Because along the way, Lin Xun was like a sharp spear, rushing straight forward, tearing open every checkpoint that was controlled by the enemy!

As time passed, the number of prey being dragged on the rope in Lin Xun's hand gradually increased.

Regardless of whether they were men or women, whether they were the disciples of the Primordial Dao Sect, Heaven and Earth Dao Sect, or descendants of the Blood Qilin Battle Clan and Taowu Battle Clan…

All were suppressed!

No one was Lin Xun's opponent, and no one could stop Lin Xun from climbing the mountain.

The stone steps were therefore stained with blood after he passed.

Throughout this entire time, Lin Xun looked calm, as if he was strolling in a garden. His emotions did not fluctuate at all.

No one knew how angry he had become when he became certain that the death trap in Imperial Dragon Mountain was aimed at him!

Did you think that I, Lin Xun, would not dare to kill people?

Then today, let me show you how happily I can slaughter my way through!

...

Halfway up the mountain, a green pine towered in the snow.

A group of men and women were gathered there. They sat on the ground, boiled snow and brewed tea. As they drank and talked it was obvious that they were extremely comfortable.

Their leader was a young man with a lazy demeanor and long hair.

While sipping the tea, he smiled and said, "This little game was originally set up for Lin Xun, but I never thought that I would capture two prey who also have Flying Immortal Tablets on them. Such a pleasant surprise."

Others couldn't help laughing at this.

"It is said that these two prey have a close relationship with Lin Xun. I wonder if Lin Xun will come to help when he hears about this,” wondered someone thoughtfully.

"I hope he comes!" Someone else looked cold, "That boy is rampant and cruel. He killed Senior Brother Yan Chunjun. If we don't avenge him, we, the descendants of Heaven and Earth Dao Sect, will be laughed to death!"

The lazy young leader was about to say something, but his expression suddenly changed.

At the same time, a dull and dense banging sound came from the mountain road far below.

"This is..."

Many people were startled.

"He's coming!"

The lazy look on the leader faded, and his face became solemn.

"Who?"

"Lin Xun!"

"What?"

The group of men and women who were boiling snow and brewing tea all stood up immediately, revealing disbelief.

That guy actually came?

Their reactions were a bit funny.

After all, they had set up this death trap to target Lin Xun.

But now that Lin Xun had really come, they were a little bit perplexed, as if they had never expected that their target would be so bold and reckless!

Then, in their spirit sense, they all saw a bloody and cruel scene, which made them all feel like they were struck by lightning. Their eyes widened involuntarily.

On the ancient mountain road filled with mist, a young man in moon-white robes climbed up the steps, like a traveler who was climbing a mountain to find seclusion, with a leisurely demeanor.

But behind him was a rope trailing down on the stone steps. Bloody bodies were tied to the rope resembling tamed livestock. They were densely packed, and there were dozens of them.

The dull thumping sounds that they had heard earlier were caused by the collision of these bodies with the stone steps when they were dragged forward!
