Chapter 1704: Underlying Current
That swift and clean execution was shocking.
But the most terrifying thing was that no one noticed where the flying blade came from or how it vanished!
Wen Qingxue’s sleeve whipped in the air and a rare hint of surprise crossed her usual calm face.
Kun Jiulin trembled inwardly and all hair stood on end.
Unprecedented fear spread throughout him as if he had fallen into an ice cave. If that blow was launched at me instead…would…would I survive?
Even Lin Xun felt a chill in his heart.
Without a question, the mysterious flying blade was A’hu’s trump card!
As for the others present, they were all petrified and their souls almost scattered in terror.A renowned peerless swordsman in the Ancient Nebula Road was killed so suddenly. This would shock even demons and gods.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Xun sent a voice transmission and left with A’hu.
Swoosh!
The space rippled and the two swiftly disappeared.
“Senior Sister Qingxue, are you just going to let them go like this?” Nie Tian’s bitter voice broke the silence.
“We are being watched and unpredictable dangers are everywhere. The Treasure Refining Land is only the outer area of Kunlun Dominion. It’s not wise to get into a fight now.” Wen Qingxue had regained her composure.
Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings as she continued, “What’s more, both Lin Xun and that woman are tricky to deal with.”
Everyone kept quiet.
They had witnessed how Lin Xun used Yan Chunjun as a stepping stone and trampled him to death, and also saw how Lin Xun effortlessly blocked Wen Qingxue’s attack.
Moreover, the scene of A’hu beheading Wei Ziya with a flying blade still haunted them.
If they had to fight Lin Xun and the woman, it was indeed hard to say which side would emerge victorious in the end!
Someone asked in a gloomy and puzzled voice, “How can a young man from the Ancient Wasteland Domain be so strong?”
“Hmph! No matter how powerful they are, they are bound to meet their ends here. Many people are after the Flying Immortal Tablet in their hands.” Nie Tian snorted coldly.
“You alone are no match for Lin Xun. Do you want to join us?” Wen Qingxue looked over at Kun Jiulin in the distance.
Kun Jiulin’s expression turned overcast. He said through gritted teeth, “No need!”
He turned around and left.
But when he turned his back to Wen Qingxue and the others, his face crumpled with an embittered and ferocious look.
In his mind, a majestic figure uncontrollably appeared. The figure that seemed to be able to hold up the sky was standing with his hands behind his back, like the ruler of the world.
Kun Xinghe!
The number one core descendant of the Imperial Kun Clan and a terrifying being who had long set foot into the Saint-King Stage and made a name for himself in the Ancient Nebula Road!
He was also Kun Jiulin’s elder brother.
However, to Kun Jiulin, his elder brother, who was known throughout the world, was like a shadow in his heart, compelling him to feel awe, fear, and even bitterness!
Kun Jiulin knew that the reason Wen Qingxue intervened was because he was Kun Xinghe’s younger brother and not because she cared about him.
“Wen Qingxue…one day, I will definitely get you. I want you to know that I, Kun Jiulin, am no worse than Kun Xinghe!” Kun Jiulin roared in fury in his heart.
……
“Senior Sister Qingxue, our Panwu Dao Court and the Primordial Dao Court are not that close, why did you rescue him?” Nie Tian couldn’t help from asking as he watched Kun Jiulin leave.
“I owe his elder brother, Kun Xinghe, a favor,” Wen Qingxue answered succinctly.
Kun Xinghe!
The mere mention of that name made everyone tremble inwardly. He was no doubt a terrifying man.
A heaven-defyingly fierce man who had killed an old monster at the quasi-Emperor Stage despite being only a Saint-King!
No one imagined that Kun Xinghe had actually helped Wen Qingxue once.
“Let’s go, it’s also time for us to take action. I heard that Hua Xingli, Tao Jianxing, and the others have discovered an incredible Treasure Refining Dao Qi in the depths of the Treasure Refining Land. It caused an amazing phenomenon. It would be a great treasure if we can subdue it.” Wen Qingxue commanded as she soared into the air.
……
In midair, Lin Xun and A’hu were traveling side by side.
“You don’t look too good, is it because you used that treasure?” asked Lin Xun.
“Yes, it’s the ancient treasure God Slayer Gourd. Its origin is unknown, but its power is magnificent. Once it unleashes the God Slayer Flying Blade, it can take down even an opponent of an entire cultivation stage higher than me,” A’hu replied, hiding nothing from Lin Xun.
“However, the power of the treasure is forbidden. With my current strength, I can only activate it twice at most before needing to wait forty-nine days before I can use it again.”
Lin Xun couldn’t help but gasp.
A flying blade that could kill an opponent of an entire cultivation level higher!
Such an imaginable treasure was indeed a forbidden item.
“Your pagoda is no less impressive. Its origin might even be more incredible than that of my God Slayer Gourd.” A’hu seemed to have seen something as her beautiful eyes gleamed with a strange expression.
Lin Xun just smiled.
He abruptly halted, and the Taixuan sword qi stored in the acupoints all over his body suddenly swept out like a violent storm.
A concentrated tide of sword tips slashed towards the space three thousand feet away.
A black scroll emerged from the space, unrolling to reveal a huge mountain dripping with blood.
Rumble!
The dense Taixuan sword qi was frightening, capable of suppressing and killing a supreme Big Saint.
But as soon as they came into contact with the black blood mountain painting, they disintegrated inch by inch.
Just like blood dissolving in water!
However, the scroll shook violently, struggling to bear the impact.
“Condense!”
A figure bathed in gray mist emerged, uttering a peculiar sound and withdrawing the black blood mountain painting scroll.
Then, he looked at Lin Xun in the distance, asking in a surprised tone, “How did you discover my presence?”
It was a thin young man with sunken eyes that were a strange brown color. The area he stood in was shrouded in fog, making him look like a demon emerging from hell.
Clang!
Lin Xun’s expression was ice-cold as he swung up the Abi Sword and charged towards the man.
When he clashed with Wen Qingxue earlier, he was already aware of the dangerous aura looming nearby.
If not, he would not have let Kun Jiulin go so easily.
“Haha, do you want to play?” A ruthless smile curled the corners of the thin young man’s lips.
Shua!
His figure vanished into thin air, leaving Lin Xun’s attack to miss.
“Now is not the right time. I’ll play with you next time we meet.” The thin young man transformed into a wisp of gray mist and vanished without a trace.
Lin Xun’s spirit sense spread outwards, and a solemn look came to his face.
He’s an extremely dangerous enemy who can come without a shadow and leave without a trace. I can’t even lock onto his aura with my spirit sense power.
Who is he?
Is he also after a Flying Immortal Tablet?
Lin Xun became guarded.
Compared to characters like Kun Jiulin and Wei Ziya, the mysterious thin young man was undoubtedly more dangerous and terrifying.
Lin Xun realized that among those who entered the Kunlun Dominion, a few were tough characters who should not be underestimated!
“That man is strong, and his aura is extremely mysterious. I had locked onto his qi just now, but he realized and got away.” A’hu came over with a serious look on her face.
Lin Xun nodded. “The reason why I gave up on killing Kun Jiulin was because I detected an extremely unusual aura. If I took action, then Wen Qingxue would take advantage of the opportunity to attack.”
He paused, then continued, “Most importantly…”
Boom!
He suddenly thrust an open palm forward and a giant hand as big as an abyss roared towards the space thousands of feet away.
Clang!
A mottled bronze bell blocked the palm strike. A deep ring sent the entire world quaking.
Behind the bronze bell, a monk in black appeared with a solemn expression. A black lotus was marked on his forehead.
He seemed a little surprised, as if he didn’t expect Lin Xun to discover his hiding spot.
“Earth Treasury Temple?” Lin Xun’s dark eyes turned cold and menacing.
The black-robed monk gave a slight smile. “I understand. You practice the Great Treasury Silent Scripture left by Du Ji, so you were able to capture my aura right away.
“Unfortunately, Sha Liuqing has left. He has probably discovered my whereabouts. He was right. Now is not the right time.”
He seemed to be talking to himself, and in the end he let out a soft sigh. He took a deep look at Lin Xun before he turned around and left.
With every step he took, a black lotus bloomed behind him in the air!
Lin Xun did not chase after him. From beginning to end, the black-robed monk exuded a flawless aura like a perfect black lotus.
If Lin Xun made a move, then he had a feeling that he most likely would fail to stop the monk even if he went all out.
“Another tricky character.” A’hu knitted her brows. There seemed to be more variables than she expected.
“It can be confirmed that the thin young man who appeared earlier is called Sha Liuqing, and the black-robed monk is related to the Earth Treasury Temple.” Lin Xun analyzed calmly. “If it was just Sha Liuqing, then I wouldn’t mind launching an all-out attack. Even if Wen Qingxue intervened, I am still confident that I could kill Kun Jiulin. But with the addition of the baldy, there are too many variables.”
“I feel like they didn’t come here just to seize the Flying Immortal Tablet. It seems like they\'re targeting you alone,” A’hu said ruminatively.
Lin Xun nodded. “I have a feeling too, but it doesn’t matter. Next time we meet, I will capture them one by one and interrogate them.”
A’hu couldn’t help smiling. This was what she admired most about Lin Xun: He was always confident and unflappable even in the most chaotic circumstances and had a unique elegance.
“Let’s continue onwards. We can’t let those bastards take all the fortunes in the Treasure Refining Land.”
“Let’s go.” A’hu nodded.
