Chapter 1758 Sundering Xu Lingkun, Capturing Wen Qingxue

“Pff!” Xu Lingkun slammed to the ground, coughing up a large mouthful of blood from the heavy impact.

The field sank into silence.

The crowd could not hide their shock to see a powerful giant like Xu Lingkun be suppressed so completely!

“In the competition of our external forces, you have lost. In the competition between our arts and techniques, you have...also lost.”

Lin Xun stood in the middle of the field, his black eyes like a deep abyss. His clothes fluttered, his long hair danced, and the Dao Endless Pagoda hovered above him. He had the might of a god.

As his voice echoed, he had already charged at Xu Lingkun once again.

“Cut!”

Wen Qingxue attacked from the side like a shooting rainbow as she was surrounded by illusive but dense and sharp sword qi.

Unfortunately, since the mysterious sword tip had been firmly restrained, her own battle prowess alone was inadequate in front of Lin Xun.

Boom!

With a stroke of his sword, he knocked Wen Qingxue flying without even having to look, draining all the blood from her stunning face.

This raised another commotion in the audience.

“Slash!”

At the same time, the Broken Blade swept up with overwhelming sharpness.

Heavenly Yuan Slash!

After this strike had been integrated into Lin Xun’s dharma art, it was no longer the same as what it used to be, now having the power to subdue everything and cleanse the world.

“Break!” roared Xu Lingkun, his eyes widening in rage as he swung his bone halberd.

He was mobilizing all of his power. All of his muscles bulged and unleashed a monstrous golden light, driving his might to a horrifying level.

CLANG!

The void trembled under the collision that resounded like thunder from the nine heavens.

The bone halberd was knocked out of Xu Lingkun’s grip, while the man himself was once again sent flying, but only after the acute slash had left a bloody cut on him.

The expressions of the onlookers flickered dimly.

It had turned around too quickly. Lin Xun had just been in a perilous situation, suppressed by Xu Lingkun and Wen Qingxue with their trump treasures.

Then quickly, he had fought back with external objects, and the situation was completely different!

“Slash!”

Lin Xun was like a storm as he decisively struck out in succession, not giving Xu Lingkun a second to catch his breath.

Branded with streams of obscure runes, the shiny but illusory Broken Blade seemed to want to cut open the sky with its prominent sharpness.

“Help me kill him, anyone! I will definitely repay you well!” screamed Xu Lingkun who had completely panicked.

He had been chased by Lin Xun through the whole Fengshan Trail to this Fengshan Platform, and now, even after teaming up with Wen Qingxue, they still weren’t a match for Lin Xun.

This cruel reality had dealt an unprecedented blow to Xu Lingkun!

His voice resounded throughout the entire mountain peak, causing many people’s eyes to flicker in contemplation. In the end, however, no one answered his call.

Whether it was Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, or anyone else, how could they possibly intervene in something like this?

At the end of the day, all the cultivators present were rivals!

Regardless of whether Lin Xun died or Xu Lingkun’s team lost in this battle, it had nothing to do with them.

Kaboom!

Right at this moment, Xu Lingkun was once again sent flying by a slash. His skin cracked all over and bled profusely. He was utterly miserable.

“I’ll risk my life with you!” shrieked Xu Lingkun, his eyes bloodshot. He was like a struggling beast on the brink of death.

His body seemed to have become a burning flame, emitting a terrifying aura.

“DIE!” A dagger appeared in his hand as he growled and stormed out.

Buzz!

The dagger was like an illusion. It instantly broke the speed of sound and got faster by the second until it became a faint streak of light. It was as though it could bypass the Law of Space!

Dagger of Spirit Extinguishment!

This was an unfathomable treasure of ferocious nature. Being incorporated with Alpha Gold Essence and a wisp of Emperor’s breath, it was able to cut through even the body of a Saint-King.

Anyone could see that Xu Lingkun was completely desperate, to the point that he was risking his life to drag Lin Xun down!

Lin Xun took a deep breath, making no attempt to dodge. The Abi and Yuantu Swords crossed and fiercely slashed out together.

It looked like they were drawing the character ‘乂’ in the air.

Cut, kill!

This was one of the oldest characters to exist, and was also one of the most primitive runes.

However, when executed through Lin Xun’s swords, it transformed into the purest and simplest killing attack.

Only a clang was heard.

The powerful Dagger of Spirit Extinguishment was blocked at the intersection of the ‘乂’ as if it was being stopped by a heavenly barrier.

Not to mention killing anyone, it could not even stab a millimeter deeper.

The Abi and Yuantu Swords had also belonged to an Emperor, the Underworld River Sword Emperor, and had been worn on his person until he had verified his dao. How could they be ordinary?

“How can this be?!” Xu Lingkun’s eyes were wide in disbelief. A storm of horror engulfed his heart.

But he wasn’t spared any time to think about it.

Boom!

Lin Xun’s strike was simple to the extreme, but equally condensed to the extreme. Following a deafening noise...

The Dagger of Spirit Extinguishment was sent flying, wailing ceaselessly.

Xu Lingkun was sliced apart by the 乂-shaped sword qi!

His limbs were chopped off and scattered in the air. Blood poured down like a waterfall.

“AHHhhh!”

An ear-piercing scream of severe pain kept coming out from Xu Lingkun’s throat up until his very last breath.

It came to an abrupt end when the sword qi that had invaded his body raged on and severed his spirit, cutting off all his vitality!

Thus, Xu Lingkun was dead!

Lin Xun, who had only arrived at the Fengshan Platform mere moments ago, had blatantly killed Xu Lingkun in a one-on-two battle. He was just so strong that it was bewildering.

A collective gasp could be heard from the crowd.

Xu Lingkun, an overlord character who was ranked thirteenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, was killed on the Fengshan Platform just like that?

No one will believe it when they hear about this!

It wasn’t until this moment that the people present deeply realized how terrifying Lin Xun was.

“He must be invincible in the Big Saint Stage, the strongest Big Saint to ever exist to have that kind of unimaginable power, right?”

Someone trembled as it reminded them of the top five experts on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, who had long been regarded as invincible Big Saints on the Ancient Nebula Road!

However, no one had been able to associate the word ‘invincible’ with a young man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain like Lin Xun before.

Swish!

In this utter silence, Wen Qingxue suddenly made a complete turn and ran toward the Fengshan Trail at an incredible speed.

Doing this, she forsook not only the opportunity for the Saint Path Ritual, but also the mysterious sword tip that was still being suppressed by the Dao Endless Pagoda. She was decisive and swift.

Apparently, Xu Lingkun’s death had awakened her to the full extent of Lin Xun’s terror.

Lin Xun was about to give chase when–

On the Fengshan Trail, a striking figure clad in yellow appeared on Wen Qingxue’s path like a hunter who had been waiting for a rabbit to fall into her trap.

It was none other than A’hu.

Swish!

A violet sword qi swept out from her palm and slashed at Wen Qingxue.

With a frown, Wen Qingxue used the Taiwu Dao Sword and blocked it with all her might.

However, the battle ended before it could start as a huge hand grabbed Wen Qingxue’s neck from behind and lifted her up.

In this instant, the ever unperturbed goddess Wen Qingxue finally lost her composure.

She struggled hard, but was suddenly choked when a tsunami of force surged out from the huge fingers clutching her and entered her, completely confining her strength!

Her face flushed red, and her brows furrowed in shock and anger.

Lin Xun’s cold sneer came from behind, “See, this fairy is so charming even when she is angry. No wonder she is so sought after by so many people on the Ancient Nebula Road.”

There was a wave of unspeakable shame and resentment in Wen Qingxue as she icily said, “I lost, Lin Xun, you can just kill me if you want!”

Silence took over the field as Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, and the others were flummoxed.

Wen Qingxue, heir to the Panwu Dao Court, was a heaven pride who was ranked third on the Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings and in the top 100 of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

She was widely known for her beauty and grace, and had an extremely high popularity and a great number of admirers on the Ancient Nebula Road. Not to mention the average cultivator, even some of the most powerful and talented men would give her respect and admiration.

But at this moment, she was being clutched like a chicken. This scene was undoubtedly shocking.

“Kill you?” Lin Xun’s eyes were frosty. He threw Wen Qingxue to the ground with a thud. “No, that would be too light a punishment for you.”

Standing next to him, A’hu agreed, “Death is an easy way out for her indeed.”

Wen Qingxue’s gaze froze. “What are you going to do?”

A’hu smiled coquettishly and blinked. “You are a renowned fairy on the Ancient Nebula Road. You attract countless admirers wherever you go. How would they feel if they hear that the fairy they adore has suddenly been knocked down to the mortal world, I wonder?”

Wen Qingxue’s pretty face faltered. “You want to abolish my cultivation?”

Some cultivators gasped.

That would be too cruel.

Cultivating was not an easy thing. To be able to stand out amongst the countless competitors and have Wen Qingxue’s current cultivation, fame, and status was much, much more difficult.

Abolishing her cultivation would definitely be a fatal blow that would break her!

Without her cultivation, she was destined to be an ant in this fiercely competitive cultivating world.

Her status and reputation would all go up in smoke!

When Wen Qingxue became useless, how would the Panwu Dao Court treat her? How would her powerful admirers on the Ancient Nebula Road treat her?

Then, A’hu said with a smile, “Abolishing your cultivation is not enough. What if you are blessed by luck and get to re-establish a whole new cultivation path after the complete destruction of the last one, right?”

Wen Qingxue’s heart sank as a bad feeling welled up.

Sure enough, A’hu continued, “You are so beautiful, and your bearing is so refined. You will do very well in places like the brothels. At the very least, you can be their top card.

“At that time, I believe that many of those who adore you would go there and compete to patronize your business.”

Her voice was soft and low with a hint of laughter, but when it fell into Wen Qingxue’s ears, every word became the coldest spike that ruthlessly stabbed at her heart. She trembled in rage, panic, and trepidation...

Even Zhuanyu Heng’s crowd felt chills running along their spines. When a woman was determined to make things difficult for another woman, she could be even more ruthless than a man.

Just like now!

It wasn’t enough for her to threaten a proud and famous genius like Wen Qingxue with the abolition of her cultivation; she even suggested reducing the latter into a prostitute.

This was countless times more cruel to Wen Qingxue than directly putting her to death!
