Bochuan’s eyes widened and for a moment he forgot to breathe.

There were no earthshaking battle sounds ringing in the air, no deafening clashes, no dazzling light sweeping across the sky…

Yet as Lin Xun moved forward, people fell to their knees. He appeared effortless, calm and completely at ease.

However, Bochuan knew that this was a sign of overwhelming power, an unparalleled, invincible brilliance!

“Are my eyes really that terrible? I failed to realize until now that Brother Lin is actually a heaven-defying existence.”

Bochuan went into a daze.

Suddenly, he realized that all his anger, anxiety, and worry had been unnecessary!

The scene fell utterly silent.

Just as Meng Xingzi was about to strike for the third time, he stilled, his expression shifting unpredictably. His eyes locked onto Lin Xun opposite him, as if seeing him for the first time.

Seeing this, a wave of absurdity washed over Bochuan.

Is he really one of the Seven Great Supremes that I was afraid of?

Is this Meng Xingzi, who can make his peers in Copper Sparrow House bow their heads with just a single command?

The him now…seems startled as well…

“Who are you? Why have I never heard of someone like you in Copper Sparrow House?” Meng Xingzi questioned in a low voice.

His earlier arrogance had vanished, replaced by a solemn and perplexed expression.

Lin Xun ignored him and moved forward in midair. His tall and striking figure exuded a calm transcendence and an extraordinary charm.

“Kneel down.”

His voice boomed out like a thunderclap, echoing in Meng Xingzi’s mind. He could not believe that the other party...actually dared to command him to kneel down!

An unbearable sense of shame and humiliation distorted his features with rage and hostility. With a furious roar, he attacked with all his might.

“Get lost!”

Terrifying laws of fire erupted from him like a volcano. With a sweep, he unleashed a half-broken, ash-colored spear.

Rumble!

Chaos qi burst forth from the spear like a roaring tsunami. Unparalleled murderous qi raged through the area, shrouding it in chaos, projecting chilling visions of the destruction of the world.

This damaged spear was definitely no ordinary weapon!

Lin Xun’s dark eyes shone brightly.

Such a familiar power…This half-broken spear seems to be...

Boom!

The spear swept in, delivering a deadly blow. Its unrivalled sharpness easily pierced through Lin Xun’s defense and the attack of its bitingly cold murderous qi forced Lin Xun to unleash his true strength to deal with it. RäꞐȪΒЕ𝘚

“Kill!”

After that successful strike, Meng Xingzi’s momentum surged like a storm. Shrouded in raging chaos qi, the broken spear carried the devastating power to pierce the heavens and obliterate the starry sky with a single sweep. Its power was truly astonishing.

Lin Xun dodged, but his dark eyes were gleaming with delight. He was certain that the broken spear was one of the Emperor weapons of Kunlun!

“Why are you evading? Were you not very powerful before?” Meng Xingzi roared, brimming with confidence and triumph. He swung the spear like a god battling heaven and earth.

Boom!

The spear sliced through the air and was upon Lin Xun in an instant, glinting with unmatched sharpness.

It was at that moment—A black copper piece suddenly appeared in Lin Xun’s hand, blocking the spear’s deadly attack.

Huh?

Meng Xingzi’s expression dramatically changed. The spear in his hand was firmly attached to the copper piece, like metal to magnet, and it was impossible to pull it back no matter how he tried!

Lin Xun smirked slightly and with a flick of his wrist, the broken spear flew out of Meng Xingzi’s grip and landed into Lin Xun’s palm together with the black copper piece.

“No! Give me back my treasure, give me back my precious treasure!” Meng Xingzi panicked, his eyes bloodshot, and he madly lunged forward as if his life depended on it.

Clearly, this broken spear was extremely important to him.

Unfortunately for him, having lost this broken spear, he was no longer a threat to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun simply waved his sleeves.

Boom!

Meng Xingzi was knocked down from mid-air and fell to the ground on his knees, unable to rise as if he was restrained by an unparalleled force.

He raised his head and glared at Lin Xun with bloodshot eyes, hissing, “Give me back my treasure! Give it back to me——!”

Lin Xun ignored him.

The black copper piece was a fragment of the Treasure Refining Furnace of Kunlun, containing the original aura of the Treasure Refining Furnace, thus it easily subdued the spear.

As Lin Xun examined the broken spear, he noticed that the dark, dusky surface, though severely damaged, emitted an unsettling murderous aura.

It was like a peerless weapon of destruction, capable of piercing the ninth heaven and shattering the boundless void. The mere sight of it made one’s eyes sting with pain and their mind tremble with fear.

A name suddenly came to Lin Xun.

Dao Skyless Spear!

One of the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun!

“Where did you get this from?” Lin Xun turned to look at Meng Xingzi. He was very surprised to find a Kunlun Emperor weapon in Dark Hidden Purgatory.

Meng Xingzi yelled like a madman, “That treasure belongs to Senior Brother Nie Yunji. If he finds out that you stole it, he would kill you without a second thought! Quick, give it back to me, give it back to me now!”

Nie Yunji!

In the distance, Bochuan’s expression changed, and he quickly said aloud, “Brother Lin, Nie Yunji is the leader of the Seven Great Supremes of the Quasi-Emperor Stage in Copper Sparrow House. He came to train in Dark Hidden Purgatory three thousand years ago and it is rumored that he has already fought his way up to the sixth level. If nothing unexpected happens, given his strength and foundation, he likely has already attained the dao and become an Emperor!”

“Now, do you understand? If you dare to take this treasure, you will definitely be killed!” Meng Xingzi yelled, “Nie Yunji has no regard for any rules. He never cares about any rules when he kills!”

However, Lin Xun calmly put away the broken spear as he said aloud, “From now on, it belongs to me. Whoever wants to take it back, whether it is you or Nie Yunji, just come to find me.”

“You…” Meng Xingzi looked devastated and disorientated as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lin Xun continued, “Also, from today on, whoever dares to bully Bochuan in Dark Hidden Purgatory will become my enemy, and there is only one ending for my enemies—death.”

The word ‘death’ reverberated throughout the area like a clap of thunder, making Meng Xingzi, Liu Xiao and others tremble inwardly and turn ashen-faced.

This was an undisguised threat!

However, to Bochuan, Lin Xun’s words were like a sudden warmth flowing through his heart, catching him off guard and moving him so deeply that he nearly broke into tears.

For the past thirty-nine years, ever since he angered Meng Xingzi, he had been struggling by himself and trying to survive on the first level. No one dared to come near him, and those who saw him steered clear, as if he was a venomous snake or scorpion. This left him feeling rejected and isolated.

He had only known Lin Xun for less than two days, but Lin Xun had already protected him along the way, treated him like a friend, and even went so far as to offend Meng Xingzi and the others for him!

How could Bochuan not be moved by his actions?

At this moment, when Lin Xun was about to leave and head to the next level, Meng Xingzi actually begged him in a pitiful voice, “Brother Lin, this treasure is extremely important. If I lose it, it will probably cause the death of some of my fellow disciples. Please, I hope you can understand!”

Meng Xingzi’s face clouded with sorrow. “You might be unaware but a terrible incident happened on the fourth level of Dark Hidden Purgatory!”

He explained the whole story bit by bit.

It turned out that on the fourth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory, a fiend spirit overlord had emerged, possessing intelligence and consciousness. It had suppressed and imprisoned four experts of Copper Sparrow House.

The fiend spirit overlord openly declared that handing over the broken spear was the only way to save the lives of the four experts!

“So, this treasure has nothing to do with Nie Yunji, and it belongs to you?” Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.

Meng Xingzi looked pained and bitter, “Yes, I wanted to use Nie Yunji’s name just to intimidate you and make you back down...What’s more, if the treasure really belonged to Nie Yunji, why would he let me borrow it?”

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then asked, “How would the fiend spirit overlord know about this spear?”

“Because this treasure was a legacy treasure born in the fourth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory. When it appeared, not only my comrades and I, but also the fiend spirit overlord had his eyes on it.”

Meng Xingzi no longer concealed the truth. “I was lucky to obtain this treasure in the end, but my comrades...they were suppressed by the fiend spirit overlord...

“I am no match for the fiend spirit overlord so I left the fourth level to find some help to rescue them. If we fail, then I will have to hand over this treasure in exchange for the lives of my comrades.”

Then, Meng Xingzi pleaded, “Brother Lin, you understand now. If I lose the treasure, it will be over for my comrades.”

Lin Xun was a little surprised. He never imagined Meng Xingzi to be such a loyal friend.

At this moment, Bochuan sent him a voice transmission, “Brother Lin, don’t listen to his nonsense. He is not as honourable as he said. There must be something fishy going on!”

Narrowing his dark eyes, Lin Xun pondered for a moment, then he looked at Meng Xingzi and said, “Come with me.”

Meng Xingzi was taken aback. “Brother Lin, what do you mean by that?”

“Don’t you want to save your comrades? I’ll help you,” Lin Xun said nonchalantly.

Meng Xingzi’s expression subtly changed. “Brother Lin, the fiend spirit overlord is extremely powerful and has the power to control all the fiend spirits on the fourth level. He is like the ruler in that world...”

“Are you going or not?” Lin Xun interrupted.

Meng Xingzi’s expression morphed indefinitely and in the end he gritted his teeth. “I’ll go!’

Lin Xun looked at Bochuan and said with a smile, “Bochuan, train well. I’ll see you again.”

As he spoke, with a flick of his sleeve, Meng Xingzi, who was imprisoned on the ground, was swept into midair and teleported away.

“Brother Lin, take care…” Bochuan murmured.

In the distance, Liu Xiao and the others had dragged themselves up from the ground, every one of them as lifeless as an eggplant struck by frost.

They looked at Bochuan, their eyes filled with resentment and malice, along with unmistakable coldness, but no one dared to make another move against him.

Lin Xun’s declaration had deterred them from taking any action. As long as Lin Xun was alive, they would not dare to act recklessly again!

Shua!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had teleported away with Meng Xingzi at lightning speed and very quickly they disappeared into the entrance to the third level.
