The purple-robed middle-aged man and his group spread out in a fan-shaped formation.

Each of them gave off terrifying auras that smothered the surrounding mountains, rivers, and land like the vast ocean.

Helian Qi followed closely at the back of the group with a look of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

So what if you were first in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest?

After today, Jin Duyi will no longer exist in this world!

A silver-robed woman robe asked with an arrogant and aloof expression, "Are we regarding him too highly by having six quasi-Emperors acting together?"

A short and stout old man smilingly answered, "As a rare talent who has just won first place in the Dao Debate Contest, he is worthy of such consideration."

The purple-robed middle-aged man at the head of the group reminded them in a deep voice, "Everyone should be careful. If such a young man dares to move about alone, he must have many survival tricks up his sleeve. We cannot afford to be negligent."

They had started the operation right after the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest was wrapped up and had been keeping a close eye on Lin Xun since then.

The reason why they were choosing to act now was two fold. One, to confirm that Lin Xun was indeed alone.

Second, their current location was deep in the mountains and was tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest city.

Hence, there was no need to worry about anyone discovering that they had killed Lin Xun here.

After all, Lin Xun was the reigning champion of the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest and he was scheduled to represent the Cloud State cultivation community at the Dao Debate Assembly in three months.

Under such circumstances, there would be extremely grave consequences if anyone found out that they had killed Lin Xun.

One of the members unhurriedly asked, "Young man, have you decided whether you’ll obediently come with us?"

By this point, they had completely zoned off the area and regarded Lin Xun as a fish that was already caught in their net and a lamb ready for slaughter.

Lin Xun appeared unfazed as he smiled and said, "I originally thought that Phantasm Empyrean Island would be the first to jump out and deal with me and never expected that it would be you shameless fools instead. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed."

As he spoke, lava-like power began to surge and circulate in him.

"Hmph, ignorant sharp-tongued brat, you don’t even know how close you are to death!"

The silver-robed woman coldly snorted. She was genuinely surprised that a junior like Lin Xun had scolded her. Did he not understand his situation?

Swish!

She stretched out her hand and waved it, sending out a cloud of purple haze. Dao light interweaved within the cloud, causing it to shine brightly as it swiftly approached Lin Xun.

This was the power of the quasi-Emperor Stage. Although it didn’t cause a huge commotion, its terrifying power would frighten any Saint.

Lin Xun's smile receded.

Rumble!

A mighty abyss soundlessly emerged around him and spread like the mist-like primal chaos of the beginning, its form fluctuating between an abyss and a furnace.

Crash~

The purple haze was swallowed and annihilated without a trace. Not even a speck was left behind.

The silver-robed woman's expression changed slightly.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun rushed at them as dazzling sword qi burst from his fingertips.

With unparalleled sharpness and unmatched momentum, it was No Return!

The peak power that he hadn’t shown even in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest was fully channeled into the sword move at this very moment.

Crap!

The silver-robed woman stiffened, inwardly trembling as disbelief filled her pupils. It felt as if death was looming toward her.

Stimulated by the instincts developed over many years of battle, she immediately unleashed her full power to resist.

Omm!

Brilliant and colorful divine rainbow halos emerged above her, condensed from the Law Power of a quasi-Emperor.

It was a move that boasted astonishing defensive power and was known as the Eight Hundred Divine Light Force.

"Slash!"

The stream of sword qi gleamed coldly as it slashed from above.

Boom!

The void exploded as the peerless sword qi easily cut through the divine rainbow halos like a blade that could split the sky.

It was like a knife cutting through tofu. The silver-robed woman’s prided defensive move was instantly destroyed.

The silver-robed woman screamed in terror, "Nooo—!"

The scream suddenly cut off mid-way.

The woman was split into two by the sword qi. The two halves of her body soon burst into pieces, causing a bloody mist to spread in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a quasi-Emperor was killed!

The suddenness of it all made it impossible for the purple-robed middle-aged man and others to come to her rescue. By the time they returned to their senses, all they could do was watch in alarm and horror as the silver-robed woman was slaughtered.

How was this possible?

A supreme Saint-King had somehow defied all logic and killed a quasi-Emperor with a single sword move. Had anyone in the world ever witnessed something so absurd?

It was simply terrifying!

Lin Xun vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of the short and stout old man.

Rumble!

He made a hand seal and thrust his palm.

The seal that seemed capable of devouring heaven and earth emerged as an endlessly terrifying pressure spread.

Faced with such a deadly assault barely after returning to his senses, the short and stout old man shuddered violently and released all of his power.

His ten fingers formed hooks and clasped together in front of him.

Omm!

A golden rune totem emerged, blazing brilliantly as astonishing Law Power gushed out.

A thunderous collision followed.

Although the golden rune totem exploded, it ultimately withstood Lin Xun's seal.

However, before the short and stout old man could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a sudden sharp pain from the front.

Opposite him, a dreadful flame that could melt anything suddenly shot out from Lin Xun’s pupils.

Eyes of Smoldering Flames!

All the old man could do was shriek as he was engulfed by the torrent of transparent flames.

In an instant, he was burned to ashes and disappeared into the void!

This was the domineering power of the Eye of Smoldering Flames. While Lin Xun had used it in the Cloud State Dao Debate Contest, he had not fully displayed the extent of its power back then.

At full power, the Eye of Smoldering Flames had instantly incinerated a quasi-Emperor to ashes!

In mere moments, the silver-robed woman and the short and stout old man had been killed in swift succession!

"Vile bastard!"

"Move!"

"Quickly kill him!"

The purple-robed middle-aged men and the remaining experts finally moved, their ashen faces colored with shock and anger.

None of them had expected that two of their companions would be killed in the blink of an eye at the start of the clash.

It caught them completely by surprise and went beyond all their expectations.

The fearsome power Lin Xun displayed made them feel a chill in their hearts. They couldn't fathom how a supreme Saint-King could possess such power.

Regardless, they could no longer hesitate at this moment.

Lin Xun vanished again. When he reappeared, his aura had completely changed.

Dressed in moon-white clothes with seemingly bottomless eyes and myriad divine light flowing around him, he no longer looked reckless and violent like before.

Instead, he gave off a sensation resembling a deep abyss and calm water.

He had brought out his original body!

This was the first time his original body was going to fight since arriving at Great Primordial Chaos World.
