Chapter 2745 Repeatedly Thwarted

A stunned Qi Lingzhen subconsciously asked, “You think I'm not enough of a match for you?”

His voice was full of disbelief.

How could those words come from the mouth of a newbie Immortal?

“Whether you are or not, we'll see in battle,” Lin Xun said and then looked at Zhongli Ran, Gu Shaoyin, and Fu Zhaosheng. “Since the three of you have all agreed to the duel, please get onto the arena.”

Zhongli Ran’s trio, who were also wearing odd looks, laughed out of utter anger as if they had been insulted.

One against four? He’s not taking us seriously at all!

By this point, everyone finally realized that Lin Xun wasn't joking. He was dead serious.

“Are you sure?” asked Zhongli Ran in disbelief.

“You don't dare?” Lin Xun asked back.

Three words for three words, but Lin Xun's rhetorical question stabbed like a sharp knife. Zhongli Ran's face instantly darkened.

“Fine. As your senior brother, I shall fulfill your wish and let you leave this world with a bang!” Zhongli Ran leapt onto the arena.

Gu Shaoyin and Fu Chaosheng both snorted and followed suit, teleporting into Heaven’s Judgment Arena. They had no intention of backing down on this matter.

Seeing this, Lin Xun smiled, “That's more like it.”

“Lin Xun, why do you have to insist on doing this?” Xuan Feiling couldn't help but voice his confusion once again. He really couldn't understand what Lin Xun was trying to do by acting in such a risky and impulsive manner.

The audience also looked at Lin Xun. Dueling at this kind of time was already extremely unfavorable to him, but he wanted to take on all four opponents together on top of that. It was such a wild choice that they had to wonder why he was insisting on it.

To this, Lin Xun's answer was very simple. He casually explained, “I'm worried they'll chicken out after watching the first match and admit defeat straight away without a fight.”

The sentence was said lightly, but the entire crowd clamored after hearing it.

“Heh, does he think that he can look down on everyone just because he has certified immortality?”

“I think he’s just trying to have a more brave, honorable death. After all, it sounds so much better dying at the hands of four senior brothers instead of one.”

Fu Wenli, Qi Xiaoyun, and their allies all sneered. Lin Xun's seemingly calm but actually wildly arrogant attitude made them extremely displeased, and they found it absurd.

“Brother Lin really...still hasn't changed one bit.” Xuan Jiuyin couldn't help but think back to the time he had first seen Lin Xun on Whirlwind Ship. The memory filled his gaze with nostalgia.

"Young Master’s character has always been like this. They laugh at him saying he's insane and arrogant, having no idea that he only says what he genuinely thinks. In addition, he acts accordingly. When this duel is over, I believe no one will have wrong ideas about him anymore," whispered Jintian Xuanyue with a shine in her eyes.

While the spectators were still in a hubbub, Lin Xun flew onto Heaven's Judgment Arena, instantly capturing the attention of the whole field.

From this moment on, neither Lin Xun nor Qi Lingzhen’s group of four would have the chance to change their minds and back out, unless the winner took the initiative to spare the loser. Otherwise, this was a match of life and death!

“You three, please stand aside and watch me instruct Junior Brother Lin Xun on how to utilize Immortal-level power,” said Qi Lingzhen indifferently. The killing intent that had been suppressed in him for a long time was about to spin out of control.

Zhongli Ran’s trio naturally wouldn't object. They fell back with their arms folded, as well as with sneers and pity on their faces.

As a new Immortal, the other party probably still hadn't condensed his Immortal laws, learned to control that brand new power, and solidified his Immortal foundation. Under such circumstances, what was the difference between fighting experienced veterans like them and seeking death? They truly couldn't see any chances of him surviving!

Boom!

A black Immortal law power erupted on Qi Lingzhen, forming a divine wheel that enveloped him protectively. The wheel then rotated and conjured a purgatory of pure chaos and terror.

“The Qi Clan's Mayhem law power is truly extraordinary. The Immortal law condensed from it could be considered the highest-tier among ninth grade Heaven Rank ones. Its might is destined to be amazing,” Fu Wenli emotionally praised.

The cultivation of Immortal experts required them to study and condense their own Immortal laws from law powers. Qi Lingzhen's Immortal law was condensed from the Qi Clan's foundational law power, aka the Mayhem law power. Since it was a rare ninth grade Heaven Rank Immortal law, it inherently suppressed all Immortal laws below this grade!

In short, a Heavenly Longevity expert who controlled an Earth Rank Immortal law would definitely be crushed by one of Qi Lingzhen’s caliber! This was where the importance of law powers lay.

It was the reason why the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain had the influence over the entire Eternal True Realm: the law powers they possessed were just that frightening!

Xuan Feiling’s party couldn't stop the worry from showing in their expressions. Lin Xun had only just broken through and likely hadn't even condensed his Immortal law. What did he have to fight Qi Lingzhen?

“Junior Brother, since this is a life-or-death duel, I won't hold back or show any mercy, do you understand?” asked Qi Lingzhen coolly. Shrouded in black Immortal law aura, he exuded the spine-chilling might of a deity who was in charge of disorder and disaster.

“Yes. And I won't either,” replied Lin Xun nonchalantly. His aura was like primal chaos, obscure and inexplicable.

“Good!” Qi Lingzhen no longer suppressed his killing intent. Unleashing his qi, he made a grabbing motion, and a dao sword condensed from his Immortal law power swiftly appeared in front of him.

The sword was accompanied by the vision of a chaotic purgatory. The energy it emanated startled even some old Immortals, who seemingly had not expected Qi Lingzhen’s skills to have advanced so far in this realm.

This dao sword of his could exterminate all Emperors. Even the normal Heavenly Longevity Immortals in the outside world would be powerless to block it, for it was made of a precious ninth grade Heaven Rank law!

Qi Lingzhen waved his hand. “Go!”

Swish!

A straight crack was torn onto the space between him and Lin Xun, while his sword was already slashing at the latter's head. It was incredibly fast. It was also powerful to the point it made one's scalp go numb!

The supreme Emperor Ancestor disciples couldn't even see the sword’s trajectory, while both their minds and spirits suddenly suffered from a stabbing pain.

At this moment, Xuan Feiling’s group, Xuan Jiuyin, Jintian Xuanyue, and everyone who had a good relationship with Lin Xun felt their hearts tighten.

CLANG!!

The sound of a shocking collision pierced many eardrums, and they saw something completely unexpected.

The immortal-grade sword had been stopped in the air right before Lin Xun. It shook violently, releasing a destructive aura of mayhem to break free, but no matter how hard it tried, every struggle was futile.

Lin Xun flicked a finger, and the sword made of a ninth grade Heaven Rank law power looked like it had been blasted at by a supreme power. It exploded in the void into an endless rain of light.

Jaws dropped and eyes went wide open as numerous spectators had failed to see how Lin Xun had managed to achieve that.

Meanwhile, the old experts all looked astonished. Since they were able to see every detail, they had keenly sensed Qi Lingzhen's sword getting blocked by an Immortal law power emanating from Lin Xun!

However, they struggled to believe this fact. He had just stepped into this stage, but had already condensed an Immortal law? Furthermore, it was one capable of resisting the ninth grade Heaven Rank Mayhem law?

A distance away opposite Lin Xun, Qi Lingzhen raised his brows in surprise, “You’ve already condensed your own Immortal law?”

“I took the opportunity to refine it during my tribulation,” said Lin Xun, appearing frank and nonchalant about it.

“No wonder you are so fearless. Well, let's see how you'll handle this one!” Qi Lingzhen narrowed his eyes. The next second, his sleeve danced as another sword qi condensed at his fingertip. Two fingers wide and radiating the energy that only the originator of all mayhem could possess, the sword qi chopped out.

Swish!

It felt as though the sky and earth were being ripped apart, leaving everything in between to fall into a chaotic purgatory. All kinds of apocalyptic disasters erupted, sweeping through every corner of the world...

It was merely a sword but at the same time something much more. The mysteries permeating it were terrifying to the point of being inconceivable. Without a doubt, this was Qi Lingzhen's true masterpiece, his perfect rendition of his Immortal law.

However, a similar scene unfolded. When the sword reached Lin Xun, it was confined in the air before him. Its struggle produced earth-shaking explosions, but it couldn't get closer than three feet to him. He once again flicked his finger, and the sword qi instantly cracked.

He did it so lightly, so casually that it astounded the crowd of audience, causing them to look at each other in disbelief. They had reckoned that he would either be killed or heavily injured by the sword, or at best would manage to dodge it in a sorry state. None of the possibilities they had envisioned included him repeating the same earlier move and shattering the sword!

The hearts of Xuan Feiling’s party slowly relaxed, somewhat realizing that they had just been worrying for nothing. Although Lin Xun had only just certified immortality, he had already condensed his own Immortal law!

While it sounded unbelievable, it was the truth. How could it be possible for him to crush Qi Lingzhen's attack so easily otherwise? This reality also caught Fu Wenli’s faction off guard, casting a dark shadow on their faces.

Qi Lingzhen likewise hadn’t thought that his second sword would be resolved so easily. “Looks like I made a mistake underestimating you, Junior Brother!”

Gloom and anger surfaced in his eyes. His aura tumbled violently as he no longer had any reservations.

Boom!

He stomped his foot and shot into the air. The divine wheel at his back glowed, conjuring countless violent torrents, all of which madly converged at his palm. The void around him collapsed as if drained of energy. That was when Qi Lingzhen closed his palm and punched out.

Everyone was taken back to the beginning of time when the source of all mayhem had erupted. Heaven and earth were overturned, and yin and yang were thrown in disorder. The punch packed a great terror!

However, Lin Xun’s reaction was only a flash of disdain in his eyes, as well as a frost that couldn't be concealed. He waved his sleeve.

Kaboom!

Qi Lingzhen's dreadful punch was all but shattered, reduced to a storm of light that spread outward in its own buzzes and rumbles. At that moment, it felt like a calamity of mayhem had gotten flooded by a raging hurricane.

Qi Lingzhen suddenly jerked back like a boat being slapped by ocean waves. Barely able to stop himself from getting knocked out, his face twisted in shock.

The whole audience was already in an uproar. Countless people gawked in the bewilderment brought by Lin Xun’s domineering power. It was nothing one would believe that someone who had just conducted a stage breakthrough was capable of!

Even the prominent figures were unable to remain calm at the moment. Qi Lingzhen had attained immortality for many years and had currently been at the peak of the initial level of the Heavenly Longevity Realm. He had abundant experience in combat and unfathomable heritage. His mastery of Immortal law was also among the best in the world.

On the contrary, Lin Xun was barely half a day into the Immortal Stage. Despite this, Qi Lingzhen had been repeatedly thwarted in this fight!

Not to mention Fu Wenli’s camp, even Xuan Feiling’s party had never imagined that Lin Xun would be able to do this.

Just what kind of crazy benefit did he get from that unprecedented Immortal tribulation?
