Chapter 428 Terrifying strike

Rumble!

The Marquis of Rising Sky took the opportunity to attack Lin Xun while he was wounded. With a wide sweep of his great halberd, a wave of golden light rolled across the area and blanketed the sky. The murderous intent was palpable.

Lin Xun dodged and didn’t attempt to face it directly.

The Marquis of Rising Sky saw it as a sign that Lin Xun was on the verge of defeat so his attacks turned more violent.

Endless golden rays and mysterious runes erupted from the golden halberd like a holy blade and left the audience in awe.

So strong!

The power that the Marquis of Rising Sky had showed put many cultivators of the same cultivation level to shame!

Lin Xun indeed couldn’t withstand much longer. He constantly dodged and evaded the onslaught.

He even took advantage of a chance to hide and gulp down the nine dragon ancient brew!

Many people couldn’t help but gasp out loud. Lin Xun wasn’t pretending to be heroic. Instead, he had exhausted his physical strength and had to replenish it.

“The kid has fought Chi Cangfeng, and now he is fighting against Marquis of Rising Sky. He must have exhausted his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t look so distressed.”

“Haha, he actually used the nine dragon ancient brew to restore his physical strength. Its medicinal power is tremendous. Is he not afraid of being stuffed to death?!”

“He’s playing with fire. If he can’t refine its power, he will be possessed by demons. Why did he take such a risk in a battle?”

Everyone frowned with pity. They saw his injury and the fact that he had to restore his strength as a sign he was on the verge of collapse.

“Hahaha, Lin Xun, if you kneel and admit defeat now, I will stop embarrassing you. What do you say?” The Marquis of Rising Sky howled with laughter, looking at Lin Xun contemptuously.

He swung his halberd and charged forward, blocking the youth’s escape route.

Bang!

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun tossed the jar of medicinal wine away and charged forward!

He was still weaponless and still dripping with blood.

He looked like he was about to fight to the death. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the halberd sweeping across!

“What is he doing?”

Many people gasped.

Rumble—

A terrifying power burst forth from the great halberd like a river flooding its banks.

The Marquis of Rising Sky’s lips curled upwards in a chilling smile. He had instilled all his strength into that attack. Lin Xun would no doubt be severely wounded if he dared to grab it with his bare hands!

Everyone could tell that the attack was too strong to block with bare hands. Lin Xun was asking for death!

Liu Qingyan’s heart suddenly jumped to her throat. She was so anxious that she couldn’t watch anymore.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun clutched onto the terrifying golden halberd and seemed completely unaffected.

Huh?

The audience was bewildered. What is going on?

The cold smile froze on the Marquis of Rising Sky’s lips. That—

Boom!

Lin Xun seemed to have been reborn from the ashes. An unprecedented terrifying power erupted from him, and his imposing aura had become twice as strong.

Not good!

The Marquis of Rising Sky suddenly felt an incomparably strong feeling of danger envelop him. He subconsciously soared up and lifted his right leg, bringing it down at Lin Xun’s head like a golden stone pillar. The power it contained could smash the universe.

Lin Xun’s head would no doubt be crushed if struck. He would become a headless corpse!

However, while Lin Xun gripped the halberd in his right hand, he balled his left hand into a fist and threw it towards the Marquis of Rising Sky’s leg like a hammer.

Bang!

The collision reverberated as divine light suffused the area. The Marquis of Rising Sky howled in pain, and his bones crackled.

The audience couldn’t believe what they were seeing!

Lin Xun was on the verge of collapsing, but who would have thought that he would be able to grab the Marquis of Rising Sky’s halberd and break his leg in the blink of an eye?

How is that possible?

The Marquis of Rising Sky frantically retreated in response to the unexpected change. Then, he gathered all his strength into his hands and attempted to retrieve the halberd.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun would suddenly exert a force on the halberd, bringing the Marquis of Rising Sky up into the air before slamming it against the ground?

Caught off guard, the Marquis of Rising Sky smashed to the ground, whipping up a cloud of dust.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his bewitchingly pretty face ashen.

Hiss—

The audience inhaled sharply. That’s too cruel.

“Is this all you have?” Lin Xun asked indifferently as he dove down with the golden halberd in his hand.

“He broke through! He has broken through to the advanced Spirit Sea Stage!”

An influential figure turned ashen-faced and lost his composure.

It wasn’t uncommon for a cultivator to break through during battle, but it was extremely dangerous. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.

However, Lin Xun had succeeded!

“No wonder his strength soared all of a sudden…it turns out that he has made another breakthrough in cultivation!”

“Monster! That kid is simply abnormal!”

“I understand now! He didn’t drink the nine dragons’ ancient brew to replenish his strength but to break through!”

Uproar broke out.

No one could have imagined that Lin Xun had been thinking of seeking an opportunity to break through during the duel with Marquis of Rising Sky!

He appeared to be suppressed in the battle, but he had unleashed his potential, smashed the cultivation barrier, and broke through in a critical juncture of life and death!

“It turns out that he didn’t need to use any treasure to temper his cultivation and make a breakthrough…”

Liu Qingyan was stunned. She couldn’t imagine that Lin Xun would be so brave. Is he not worried about losing his life if something went wrong?

“Get lost!”

On the ground, the Marquis of Rising Sky’s long hair flew back in rage. Before Lin Xun could launch an attack, he leapt up and spewed out a shaft of terrifying blood-colored light from his mouth.

The blood-colored light was covered with secret runes and reeked of blood. It dyed even the air red!

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and made a large sweeping motion with the halberd.

Following a crashing noise, Lin Xun’s right arm throbbed with unbearable pain and the golden halberd escaped from his grip.

Only then did Lin Xun see that the terrifying blood-colored light was a talisman. Similar to his Sky Suppressing Bead, it was a type of killing weapon.

Fortunately, it could only be used once.

Boom!

The Marquis of Rising Sky regained control of his halberd, and its body was again enveloped in a golden aura.

“You made me waste a blood spirit talisman. Kid, you can die without regret now!”

His expression was chilling and vicious as he launched a storm-like attack.

Unquestionably, the Marquis of Rising Sky’s strength was terrifying. He hadn’t fallen even after Lin Xun had wounded him off guard.

Die!

Lin Xun also unleashed all his power. The Hornless Ice Dragon emerged behind him. Its divine powers seemed capable of crushing the earth and controlling the mountains and rivers.

The two were locked in a fierce battle again. Everyone held their breaths while their faces were contorted with shocked disbelief.

So strong!

In the battle, Lin Xun and the Marquis of Rising Sky were like two proud suns competing. The power they had demonstrated had to be described as earth-shaking.

“So what if you made a breakthrough? You’re still not qualified to compete with me!” the Marquis of Rising Sky roared, his eyes ice-cold and threatening like blood-colored lightning.

He grew increasingly strong.

However, Lin Xun couldn’t be underestimated either. He had undergone a complete transformation after breaking through to the advanced Spirit Sea Stage, and his strength was completely different from before.

He was adapting to his new power and using the Marquis of Rising Sky as a testing stone!

Several moments later.

Boom!

The halberd slashed through the air.

“Die!” the Marquis of Rising Sky roared, and the halberd produced a sonorous noise as though it understood him. It aimed toward Lin Xun with all its strength as though attempting to pierce through him.

The surrounding space shook and many strange visions appeared.

The halberd was so amazing that it made the world lose its splendor!

Many people couldn’t sit still and blanched with shock. The Marquis of Rising Sky’s power had greatly exceeded their expectations.

Lin Xun also turned ashen-faced. He also never thought that the Marquis of Rising Sky would possess such a terrifying foundation. He clearly didn’t use all his strength when they had previously fought.

His attack combined the power of heaven and earth, the strength of the universe, and faintly there seemed to be a wisp of imagery power!

It was the integration of heaven and man.

Otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be so powerful.

Lin Xun counterattacked, but his strike was crushed within seconds and the golden halberd continued to thrust toward him.

“What else do you have to compete with me?” the Marquis of Rising Sky roared.

He had long reached the perfect realm of the Spirit Sea Stage, the pinnacle of that cultivation level. After five years of fighting on the battlefield, he believed that he was invincible against people of the same cultivation level.

Clang!

It was then that Lin Xun summoned an earth-grade aeth treasure that he had created himself—The Violet Soul Blade!

Many people exclaimed, “That guy finally brought out a treasure!”

Lin Xun had used nothing but bare hands throughout his battle against Chi Cangfeng, and it made people suspect that he hadn’t prepared a weapon for battle.

Now, everyone realized that Lin Xun had a treasure but he just didn’t bring it out!

“You’re only bringing it out now? It’s too late! Kneel!” The Marquis of Rising Sky’s voice was ice-cold.

His imposing bearing grew stronger, and the blood-colored glow around his body intensified. He resembled the God of Death.

He was truly terrifying. His body of qi locked on Lin Xun, trying to suppress him.

However, almost at the same time, a blade glinted and countless stars descended. It was as though the world had been plunged into night.

The world and everything in the world seemed to have collapsed!

Star-Gather!

Lin Xun had finally resorted to his killing move.

The audience fell utterly silent and their eyes widened in shock. What kind of blade is that? What frightening power!

Boom!

Another earth shaking collision rang out in the void, quaking the martial arts arena. The rune arrays frantically circulated, trying to dissolve the terrifying impact.

Amid the cloud of smoke and dust, the Marquis of Rising Sky screamed and blasted across the air, vomiting blood.

At the same time, Lin Xun’s indifferent and calm voice sounded, “Let’s see who will kneel first!”
