The person who had suddenly appeared was none other than Lin Xun.

He had returned in order to find Lu Dubu and ask for the way to contact Leng Xiujia, only to unexpectedly see such a scene.

“Jin Duyi!” blurted Tu Qianjue in surprise as his pupils constricted.

Zu Feiyu and Yan Yurou had only left moments ago with a group of people to go after Jin Duyi. Who would have thought that he would actually show up here?

“Brother Jin…” Lu Dubu and Xie Yuhua also revealed looks of disbelief. They had thought that there was no escape this time and that they were doomed to be eliminated.

They similarly had not imagined that right at this critical moment, Lin Xun, who had already drawn the line and parted ways with them, would come to their rescue in the nick of time!

This was too much of a surprise!

It also made their hearts swirl with excited emotions but at the same time a strong sense of guilt.

When they had heard that Lin Xun had become a wanted target of various forces, they had chosen not to go to his aid with Leng Xiujia in order to protect themselves.

Even just now, they had left the barren area in a hurry for fear of being dragged down by Lin Xun.

In spite of such an unpleasant experience, Lin Xun had appeared and resolved their difficulties. How could they not feel guilty for what they had done?

“We have done wrong by you, Brother Jin. And thank you for still helping us, but please leave quickly, no need to bother with us anymore!” The heavily injured Su Muhan crawled up from the ground and shouted, “Quickly leave or it will be too late!”

“Leave? Not a chance!” Tu Qianjue suddenly let out a long howl. “Brother Zu, Miss Yan, return quickly. Jin Duyi is here!”

The sound wave coming out from his mouth rumbled in the air like a dao sound as it quickly spread into the extreme distance.

“Alone, you aren’t enough for me. In a group…still inadequate,” said Lin Xun, his eyes unfathomable as he had already attacked with a flash of his figure.

Moreover, he was not holding back, utilizing his full strength as soon as he struck.

In an instant, he seemed to have turned into someone else with overwhelming sharpness, unmatched elegance, and world-dominating might!

Swish!

His White Metal Dao Body released a radiant light, making him look like an illusory streak as he was moving at an incredible speed. It was impossible to trace him.

He extended a finger.

Poof!

The Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s core disciple closest to Lin Xun had blood dripping out from between his eyebrows as his skull had been pierced through. As death loomed, a force appeared and narrowly transported this person out of the Mythical Huang Secret Realm.

Lin Xun didn’t spare the eliminated a glance as he proceeded to wave his hand. Dense Taixuan sword qi emerged and whistled towards another opponent.

This opponent fought back by operating their power to the fullest. Covered in a divine radiance of superimposing dao lights, they condensed eighteen layers of battle seals.

Each layer possessed inconceivable power. When eighteen of them overlapped, their might increased many folds, making it feel as if the mountains and seas were being turned upside down.

Eighteen Layers of Heaven and Earth Battle Seals!

This was one of Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s supreme inheritances, and it was unrivaled in its ferocity.

However, this kind of supreme inheritance was not enough to look at under Lin Xun’s Taixuan sword qi. In a split second, those battle seals were destroyed one by one by the rain of sword qi, producing sky-shaking noises and blinding sparks.

Rumble~

The opponent was drowned by the ocean of sword qi and eliminated from the competition.

In the blink of an eye, two Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples were crushed in succession!

The absolutely crushing and invincible momentum displayed by Lin Xun right from the start of the battle caused Lu Dubu’s group to gawk in disbelief.

At the Dao Debate Contest of Cloud State, they had all seen Lin Xun’s dashing style, but the man from that time still could not at all compare to the him at this moment!

Simply too strong!

Their perception of Lin Xun was totally overturned. It was like they were watching a complete stranger.

“Quick, go at him together. We must hold on! Our reinforcements will be here soon!” shouted Tu Qianjue.

He also attacked with all his might.

As a powerful expert who had long since experienced Lin Xun’s battle prowess, he was well aware of the latter’s fearsomeness.

It had to be mentioned that his previous group had been heavily damaged by Lin Xun with a large array. Afterward, even when he had teamed up with Zu Feiyu and Yan Yurou, they had still been unable to retain Lin Xun as the latter had easily broken free from their siege and left!

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

The four remaining Heaven and Earth Dao Court disciples, together with Tu Qianjue, struck Lin Xun with everything they had, either using secret techniques or summoning treasures.

For a time, treasure lights flooded the area, and dao sounds boomed. The sky dimmed under it all.

“Miss Xie, let’s help Brother Jin fight them!” decided Lu Dubu with gritted teeth and a determined expression. His heart was filled with guilt and gratitude, and he desperately wanted to make amends.

“Alright,” agreed Xie Yuhua without thinking.

However, without waiting for the two to strike, a delicate, white-clad figure blocked their path.

It was Jintian Xuanyue, who looked like a cold beauty in her clothes that were whiter than snow. She said, “You guys can just relax and watch. Brother Jin has tasked me with keeping you safe.”

Lu Dubu and Xie Yuhua immediately had a surge of tangled feelings.

During the Cloud State’s Dao Debate, they had still been able to go head to head with Lin Xun, albeit just a little, but now…they couldn’t even help…

In the field, the battle was so intense that the terrain trembled and the vegetation turned to dust. There was pure chaos and turmoil.

Witnessing this scene from afar, Wang Tu’s expression was hideous, and he inwardly shouted,

Defeat him, defeat him, you must eliminate him!

Lin Xun’s appearance had caused Wang Tu’s mind to twist.

For the sake of his own survival, he had gone so far as to betray Lin Xun in exchange for just a chance. In the end, he had disregarded Lu Dubu, Su Muhan, and Xie Yuhua and fled alone.

However, it was Lin Xun who had stepped out to save Lu Dubu’s group.

The contrast painted Wang Tu in a terrible light, which gave rise to an unspeakably thick resentment within him.

Boom!

There was suddenly an earth-shattering explosion.

Tu Qianjue’s group, who had been surrounding Lin Xun, were all sent flying in unison, staggering as they let out shocked cries.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the field, Lin Xun was covered in a dazzling light. His every movement was imbued with a destructive power.

The siege hadn’t been able to suppress him and was instead broken by him in one fell swoop!

Immediately afterward, he charged out like a rocket and crushed his opponents like they were made of paper, eliminating them amidst the sound of their miserable screams.

Only Tu Qianjue was left, still struggling!

Wang Tu’s eyes bulged out, his fists clenched, and he kept muttering, “How is this possible? How can this guy be so strong?”

After all, the other party were all core disciples of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, and there was no lack of exalted figures on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings among them.

However, they were like mundane chickens in front of Lin Xun!

Not only Wang Tu, but even Lu Dubu, Xie Yuhua, and Su Muhan also couldn’t help but gasp.

Is this…his true strength?

At the moment, Tu Qianjue was struggling to resist.

Some time ago, he had been trapped in Lin Xun’s large array and then seriously wounded. If it hadn’t been for Yan Yurou and Zu Feiyu coming to his rescue in time, he would have been eliminated from the competition right then.

Now, history was being re-enacted!

“Damn it! Why aren’t Zu Feiyu and the others here yet?!” Tu Qianjue’s heart burned with anxiety and his eyes wide with rage. Alone against Lin Xun, he was in a constant state of being suppressed.

No matter what kind of skills he used or treasures he conjured, Lin Xun crushed them all. This only highlighted how Tu Qianjue looked like he had been stretched to the limit and was still pale in comparison.

Before long, he was sustaining heavy injuries and coughing up blood!

Seeing him in such a bad state, Lu Dubu’s group were baffled.

This is a menace who is in the top ten of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings we’re talking about.

Yet, Brother Jin has reduced him to this wretched state!

“STOP—!”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from extremely far away. A group of figures made their grand entrance as they teleported into the field like a rain of meteors.

At the head of the group were none other than Zu Feiyu and Yan Yurou.

Upon seeing that only Tu Qianjue was left struggling in the field and was heavily injured at that, Zu Feiyu’s group revealed looks of disbelief.

How long had they just left for this whole unbearable occurrence to have played out?

Lu Dubu’s group, on the other hand, all faltered. The situation had started to become serious with the appearance of Zu Feiyu’s group of more than twenty extremely powerful experts!

“Just keep watching.” Jintian Xuanyue was still unperturbed at this juncture. Whether Lin Xun decided to run or to stay and fight, she had absolute confidence in him.

In the distance, Wang Tu couldn’t help but grin. The resentment inside him fermented like a river turning into an ocean.

Jin Duyi, ah, Jin Duyi, I’d like to see how you can still show off after this!

“Brother Zu, Miss Yan, come and help meee!” Tu Qianjue, who had begun to feel despair, grew ecstatic. It was as if someone on the verge of drowning had finally grasped his lifeline.

Right at this moment, Lin Xun suddenly smiled and said, “Do you know why I’ve let you live until now?”

Let me live until now?

Tu Qianjue found this unbelievable.

Could it be that…?

Boom!

Lin Xun poked his finger in the air right at this moment.

Thorn of Sharpness!

It was unbelievably fast and also powerful to an unprecedented extreme. Merely a dot of light condensed on the tip of a finger, but it illuminated the whole world.

Tu Qianjue’s skill, as well as his defensive measures, all shattered under this finger poke.

That sharpness was like a flash of light that tore through history as it pierced Tu Qianjue’s chest!

Before it could penetrate his heart and shred his spirit, he vanished into thin air.

He had been eliminated!

A core disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court who was ranked ninth on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, whose name was known all over the nebula, had been eliminated just like that!

This also meant that even if he was alive, he was still no longer qualified to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Having rushed to his rescue only to witness his elimination, Zu Feiyu and Yan Yurou were dumbstruck. Their pupils dilated as an indescribable anger and chill welled up inside them.

They were angry that Lin Xun had dominated Tu Qianjue right before their eyes without giving them any time to save him.

At the same time, it sent chills down their spines that Tu Qianjue, a supreme talent, had been eliminated so easily…

After all, Tu Qianjue’s battle prowess wasn’t too far off from that of Zu Feiyu’s or Yan Yurou’s!

Even Jintian Xuanyue, as well as Lu Dubu’s group, couldn’t escape being shaken by this.

Tu Qianjue had undoubtedly been a giant in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, and without any surprises, he would have been able to stand out from the masses and win the qualification to participate in the following event in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

However, accidents happened when one least expected them!
