Chapter 2386 Forging Ahead Alone

Lin Xun felt an inexplicable pang of loss.

Those old acquaintances...are no more?

It was not sadness that he was feeling; it was discomfort.

“Let's go.” Shun Ji had already rushed out.

Outside the Sun Pass.

It was a vast world of ruin and barrenness. For countless years, countless experts had fought here, and those who were able to survive only accounted for the minority.

Most of them were buried here, returning to dust.

Woo woo wooo~

The world was dark as killing intent covered the sky like a thick, dark cloud. Bursts of horns echoed from the horizon, heightening the already solemn and murderous atmosphere.

From afar, a line of dense figures was spreading like tidal waves between the sky and earth. There were thousands upon thousands of them, too many to count.

It was an army of cultivators. The murderous aura they exuded gathered into a monstrous black cloud that blotted out the heavens above.

The world dimmed. A storm was approaching.

On this vast, desolate battlefield, death was like the forever unchanging prelude footnoted by bloodshed and killing.

“So many of them!” The Ancient Wasteland Domain experts at the frontline all looked grave.

This time, the enemy's lineup far exceeded anything before. It was overwhelmingly big, as if they had emptied out their entire base.

Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, as the person in charge of the Sun Pass, was practically the commander-in-chief here. He asked heavily, “How many?”

Next to him, Thousand Snow War Emperor opened and closed his eyes, and an obscure, ghostly light flashed in them. After a brief survey, he gave an answer, “Six.”

“Six Emperors?” yelped Shun Ji. “Good lord, what is the Great Luo Ancient Domain trying to do? Destroy the Sun Pass in one go?”

The crowd looked solemn and gloomy, not saying a word.

Everyone was well aware that this enemy attack was unusual. It was highly likely that they were going to go all out for a final showdown.

After a long silence, Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor clenched his jaw and ordered in a deep voice, “Send out a request for help, tell them that Sun Pass is in a state of emergency! Even if we fight to the death, we can at most protect this place for... F*ck it, we’ll hold on for as long as we can. Even if it costs us our lives, we must protect the Sun Pass!”

His voice thundered through heavens and earth.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain party added up to only over a thousand fighters, and many of them were obviously carrying wounds.

However, none of them backed down at the moment!

On everyone's faces was a look of determination and calmness.

“Wreck them!” Shun Ji gritted his teeth and roared.

“Wreck them!” roared everyone above the Sun Pass, their voices shaking the nine heavens and ten earths.

Whether it was the veterans who had been stationed here for many years or the new experts who had only joined recently, they knew from the very start that death could happen at any time at the Great Emperor Pass.

Perhaps, it was because they were mentally prepared for this that they appeared so collected.

They viewed death as if returning home.

Woo woo wooo~

The echoing horns in the distance were getting closer by the second. The enemy figures were sweeping in like a torrent taking over the land.

At their very front were the terrifying auras of Emperors, each of them releasing a might so supreme that it made the world change color.

Right at this moment, Lin Xun suddenly said, “Not six, but nine.”

The single sentence caused the pupils of Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, Thousand Snow Battle Emperor, and Shun Ji to shrink. Their hearts grew heavier and heavier.

Nine Great Emperors attacking together!

How would they even fight this battle?

“Wreck those f*ckers!” bellowed Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, his eyes glowing red.

“Wreck them!” the others roared in harmony.

The Great Emperor Pass was the Ancient Wasteland Domain's strongest line of defense. Once it was trampled through, all the enemies from the eight domains would surely drive in, and at that time, the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain would be plunged into chaos!

“Little friend, what are you doing? Come back!” Shun Ji paled when he saw Lin Xun leaving the Sun Pass alone and teleporting toward the distant battlefield. His heart leapt to his throat.

“I’m going to ask them where my disciple is,” rang Lin Xun's indifferent voice. Without looking back, he arrived alone in the vast, barren, and bloody battlefield with his hands on his back.

“Nonsense!” Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor's face turned livid. “Shun Ji, who is this kid? Why is he acting without authorization? In the case that he’s in danger, do we rescue him or not? And if yes, how should we do that?”

From his flaring beard and hair, it was obvious that he was truly angry.

“I...” Shun Ji's expression quickly shifted. In the end, he clenched his teeth and said, “That junior is Lin Xun, who is now at the Emperor Stage. Since he dares to do so, I believe that he is confident in his strength.”

An Emperor!

Many people were astonished.

“He is indeed at the Emperor Stage.” Thousand Snow Battle Emperor nodded after a careful assessment.

Previously, Lin Xun had retracted his aura to the extreme. Not to mention the Emperors, even Shun Ji almost hadn’t been able to recognize him when they met.

“An Emperor...” Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor's expression eased up, but he still said angrily, “How can an Emperor fail to discern the situation? He will only suffer facing all those enemies! There is still a chance now to salvage this as the war has not yet started. Shun Ji, quickly call him back!”

Shun Ji hurriedly nodded, but when looked over, Lin Xun had long since gone deep into the battlefield.

He was all by himself, standing in front of the big army that was fast approaching!

At this point, not just Shun Ji, but the hearts of Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor and the other experts of the Sun Pass were dangling high.

They were anxious and furious.

What’s the kid doing trying to show off at a time like this? He’s simply throwing his life away!

Meanwhile, the Great Luo Ancient Domain army also started to become restless and shocked, seemingly not expecting that the Sun Pass would send out merely one person.

Did they want to sacrifice this man?

The leader of the Emperor group waved his hand, and the army behind him stopped at once.

At the same time, the gazes of these Emperors were all locked onto Lin Xun while they revealed expressions of surprise, amusement, disdain, and sardonic laughter...

“Did the Sun Pass know that they are outmatched and send a puny ant like you to die?” said a refined-looking, thin old man with an ancient sword under his feet, his eyes cold and contemptuous.

“We’ll give you a chance to live. Go back and tell those two-legged sheep in the Sun Pass to give up resistance and get ready to be captured, or else the day we trample through the Sun Pass will be the day of your demise!” shouted a tall and barbaric man in purple clothes, his rumbling voice stirring the region.

Lin Xun swept his gaze over these Great Luo Ancient Domain experts and blandly said, “Who knows where Su Bai is? Whoever answers me, I shall spare your life.”

His words were casual, but they resounded clearly in the ears of every enemy.

They were appalled.

This guy was all alone, yet he still dared to threaten them in front of this sea of troops?

What a lunatic!

“Su Bai?” The thin old man riding an ancient sword frowned, “You mean that young man with a sword bone? He is indeed a rare talent with great potential, but unfortunately, I'm afraid that you won't be able to see him again in this life.”

“So you know my disciple. Very well, you can live a little longer.” Lin Xun glanced at the skinny old man.

“Courting death! Let’s kill him first!” said the barbaric man in purple, who then raised his golden halberd and charged over through the air murderously.

As his hand swung, a golden light swept out and caused ten thousand feet of void to shatter and collapse.

“Not good!” In front of the Sun Pass, Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, Thousand Snow Battle Emperor, Shun Ji, and others all paled.

They recognized the person who had struck to be a second realm expert of the Great Luo Ancient Domain, who had displayed potent combat strength in many previous battles.

This person had killed many experts of the Sun Pass.

Therefore, how could they not worry when they saw him attacking Lin Xun?

However, Lin Xun seemed unaware of the danger. He simply extended his hand and lightly made a grabbing motion.

Bang!

The golden halberd was immediately clutched in his hand, as gently as pinching a fly.

And then, as his wrist exerted force.

Kaboom!

The golden halberd directly exploded into a rain of golden light.

Taking the backlash, the mighty man stumbled and almost fell from the air.

His face quickly paled.

Right this instant, a wave of Lin Xun's sleeve sent a boundless dao light pouring out like a tsunami, crushing the void and illuminating the terrains.

The force immediately broke the man into countless pieces and then reduced them to ashes.

An Emperor was slain with a wave of a sleeve!

The gory scene immediately rattled the entire field.

The raging experts of the Great Luo Ancient Domain gawked with mouths agape, struggling to believe their eyes.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain party was also dumbfounded, gasping and looking like they had seen a ghost.

Previously, they had worried that Lin Xun would be in serious danger, but in the blink of an eye, he had instead killed a Great Emperor with a light movement!

This was undoubtedly inconceivable.

“For this kind of trash who kept clamoring nonsense, death is a fitting punishment.” Lin Xun flicked his nails with an icy gleam in his eyes. “Looks like there’s no need to waste any more time.”

“Attack him together!”

“Die!”

Without any hesitation, the crowd of Great Luo Ancient Domain Emperors attacked with all their might. Summoning their Emperor-grade weapons and executing all kinds of skills, they each demonstrated the monstrous ability of an Emperor.

However, it was simply inadequate to Lin Xun.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He strode in the void and repeatedly flicked his fingers, shooting out a series of dazzling sword qi.

Each sword qi was imbued with unpredictable power, unparalleled in sharpness and dominance.

When they shot out together, they seemingly wanted to cover every inch of the world, tear apart the fabric of space, and chop off everything!

Poof!

Immediately, an Emperor opponent that was cleaved in half. The corpse completely vaporized in the vast sword qi, destroyed in both form and spirit.

Poof poof poof!

In the time that followed, one Emperor after another was put to death.

No matter what treasures or dao arts they used, everything got crushed by the brilliant sword qi. Any resistance was like a mantis attempting to block a chariot, utterly useless.

In just several blinks, the rest of the nine Emperor experts leading the enemy army except for the skinny old man were killed on the spot!

Too fast!

Also too swift and terrifying!

In front of Lin Xun, those Emperors were like weeds that he could exterminate without much effort.

Originally, Gathering Cloud Battle Emperor, Shun Ji, and the others had been ready to fight to save Lin Xun at all cost if he really got besieged.

Defying even their wildest imagination, he simply gave them no opportunity to strike. With his power, he had staged a bloody massacre of Great Emperors...
