It was utterly still and silent.

Minutes ago, Sha Liuchan activated a remarkable secret art in rage and sent waves of dao sound roaring across the world and the shadow of an ancient, blood-colored ocean shark almost swallowing up the world.

Even Qing Lian’er had to retreat to avoid being swept into it.

However, it unexpectedly wasn’t Demon God Lin who was defeated in the collision, but Sha Liuchan! No one could believe their eyes.

The outcome was too unbelievable.

Sha Liuchan’s combat power had long been recognized by the younger generation of the West Infinity World. He had been acknowledged as a peerless genius talent, but he was still defeated at the hands of Demon God Lin in a face-to-face collision even though he had mobilized his remarkable divine powers. Didn’t that mean that Demon God Lin was stronger than Sha Liuchan?

Many peerless geniuses were dumbstruck.

The maiden in a purple dress from the Miluo Palace, who hadn’t uttered a word and seemed detached from the world, also lost her usual calmness. A ripple of expression spread across her beautiful face.

Meanwhile, the successors of the Longevity Land all looked dumbfounded. For a moment, they even felt that Lin Xun had the demeanor of their Senior Brother Yu Lingkong!

How is that possible?

They couldn’t believe it.

On the other hand, Bai Lingxi might have appeared outwardly calm, but her fair hands were shaking and her heart was churning like the sea.

“You actually wounded me?” Sha Liuchan’s face was ashen, his pupils were dilating and his voice was filled with anger and bewilderment. It was as though he refused to accept the truth.

“I can kill you with a turn of my hand. What’s the big fuss?” Lin Xun smiled.

With his black hair blowing around him, his body bathed in a beautiful glow and Dao Meaning power circulating him, he resembled a dazzling sun illuminating the universe.

As he was speaking, he didn’t pause but continued to charge forward to kill.

“I don’t believe you are that strong!”

Unexpectedly, Qing Lian’er, who had just avoided the shockwaves, was the first to launch a strike. She swung the bright and sharp blue scimitar in a wild slash.

Shua!

A thousand rays of blade light suddenly streak across the void like thousands of comets falling, creating a vast expanse of blueness. The blade qi was frightening, tearing the universe like a compressed torrential rain.

The bright and concentrated blade light stung the eyes of many cultivators so that they couldn’t open their eyes.

“Blue Moon Wild Demon Kill!” Sha Liuchan’s pupils shrank. He was about to launch an attack, but he chose to watch for now because he recognized that Qing Lian’er was performing a secret art of the Blue Luan Clan.

Once activated, the blade could disrupt the universe and slaughter demons and gods like a blue moon hanging in the sky.

Furthermore, Qing Lian’er was wielding an ancient treasure called the Blue Light Destruction Blade, a weapon as strong as a king-stage weapon.

Therefore, Sha Liuchan was curious to see whether or not Lin Xun could counter Qing Lian’er’s attack because he still couldn’t accept his defeat. It just felt too unreal.

Rumble!

The sky was filled with blade qi, dancing wildly like the blue crescent moon and disturbing the yin and yang of the universe.

There was no doubt that Qing Lian had panicked after witnessing Lin Xun defeat Sha Liuchan and so she resorted to her ultimate move.

However, Lin Xun didn’t show a shred of fear. He lifted a giant halberd and slashed through the air with it like a lightning bolt.

It was the treasure weapon he obtained from Sha Lu after he killed him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The glinting blade of the halberd sputtered sparks everywhere. Divine light flooded the surroundings, and murderous qi shook the nine heavens.

Within seconds, he and Qing Lian’er had clashed hundreds of times. The stinging blade light roamed everywhere and almost drowned Lin Xun.

Qing Lian’er was no doubt terrifying, launching beams of blade light over and over again like crescent moons ripping apart the void.

Rumble!

In the distance, the blade qi even split some buildings and left terrifying cracks in the ground.

Kacha!

In the blink of an eye, the halberd in Lin Xun’s hand had been severed and exploded into smithereens.

Si!

Gasps rang out from the audience. Will Demon God Lin fall this time?

A cold smile spread across Qing Lian’er’s lips, but it froze before it fully formed.

This was because, at the same time as the halberd exploded, a ray of snow-white blade light suddenly shot out from the space between Lin Xun’s eyebrows with incredible speed.

It looked like a slash of brightness from the ancient era had traveled across the long river of time. Its magnificent and stunning brilliance seemed too unreal.

Pu!

Qing Lian’er shrieked, and she frantically drew back.

The scene stunned the audience. They thought that Demon God Lin would fall, but it turned out that Qing Lian’er was the one in great danger!

So fast!

Everything happened so fast that many cultivators had no time to react.

Only some peerless genius noticed with their sharp eyes that the ray of blade light released from Lin Xun’s body had severely wounded Qing Lian’er!

However, even if they caught a glimpse of the scene, they failed to grasp the terrifying secret contained in that strike.

In mid-air, when Qing Lian’er drew back one hundred feet, her body was split open with a bloody scar that stretched down from her left shoulder to her right abdomen!

“Heavens!” The onlookers’ scalps went numb and their bodies stiff when they saw the scene clearly. They froze with shock. Qing Lian’er was almost killed by that blow!

It felt as unreal as a dream!

The genius talents also donned solemn expressions, and their hearts pounded violently in their chests. Even though they couldn’t fathom the mystery of the move, they still felt threatened!

“I can’t believe he has another card up his sleeve!” Sha Liuchan inhaled sharply, trembling.

Only he who was on the battlefield knew how terrifying that blow was.

He realized that Lin Xun still had an extremely terrifying trump card!

It was the Broken Blade!

After Lin Xun reached the ranks of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, he began to grasp and manipulate Dao Meaning Power and was able to display a portion of the true power of the Broken Blade.

Even if it was only a portion, its heaven-defying powers were still invincible, capable of slaughtering half-step kings with ease!

However, Qing Lian’er was only seriously injured and not killed on the spot. This proved that she was worthy of her title of peerless genius!

“Bitch, are you not dead?”

While everyone was still in a state of shock and disbelief, Lin Xun didn’t pause and charged forward to take the opportunity to kill Qing Lian’er once and for all.

The maiden might be the saintess of the Blue Luan Clan, but she was extremely vicious and ruthless. The first time she met Lin Xun, she had no scruples and humiliated and insulted him. She only wanted to step on him to make herself look superior.

So, Lin Xun also wouldn’t show any mercy to her.

He has had enough. Since he had already made a move, he must fight to the end. Only then could he warn the others and deter those who despise and target him!

“Argh!”

Even after she was severely wounded, Qing Lian’er’s face was still crossed with a mixture of disbelief and anger. She couldn’t imagine that she would almost be defeated, and that brought a rush of unprecedented shame and hatred up her heart.

So when she saw Lin Xun following up with another terrifying attack, she almost went crazy from rage. Does he think I am his prey?

He is going too far!

Ever since she started cultivating, she had never been in such a predicament or dangerous situation.

“Lin Xun, I am your opponent!”

It was at that critical juncture, Sha Liuchan rushed forward and launched a blast of blood-red fist qi at Lin Xun.

“Get lost!”

Lin Xun was in a hurry to kill Qing Lian’er, so he didn’t hesitate to mobilize his powers to their peak state. Then, he released the Pulao Roar.

Rumble!

Golden sound waves rippled across the air like tangible substances, smashing the space as it spread out, and blasting Sha Liuchan across the air.

The Pulao Roar was indeed powerful and domineering. Furthermore, it targeted the spirit. Caught off guard and severely wounded, Qing Lian’er failed to block the deafening roar and a rush of pain shot through her spirit, almost splitting her.

“Ah!” she shrieked, her hair disheveled and her beautiful face distorted.

She had completely lost the demeanor of a proud saintess. She looked like a lunatic.

Boom!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was charging toward her at full speed once again.

All the cultivators were horrified, their eyes wide and their hearts leaped into their throats. Demon God Lin had awed them into silence with his overwhelming strength.

This is bad!

The genius talents’ expressions changed as they realized that Qing Lian’er was in a precarious situation!

However, at that critical moment, a sudden change happened—

A figure as tall and slender as a spear emerged in the air, shielding Qing Lian’er, and then launched a palm strike forward.

Bang!

The terrifying collision caused an explosion of divine brilliance, but it dispelled Lin Xun’s powerful killing blow.

Lin Xun wrinkled his brows and his expression turned cold.

Someone destroyed his attack that could have taken Qing Lian’er’s life. How would he not be annoyed?

He raised his eyes and saw a man in a black robe with a stunningly handsome face. His long purple hair draped down his elegant body, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with symbols that were cast from gold.

A black robe, purple hair, and golden symbols bloom in his eyes–All those features indicated that the youth was unique and extraordinary.

“Zhongli Wuji!”

“He finally came!”

The audience exclaimed. The black-robed and purple-haired youth immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Zhongli Wuji came just as Qing Lian’er was severely injured, Sha Liuchan was blasted away and Demon God Lin was about to go on a killing spree!

His appearance was so timely like it was planned. He turned the tide as soon as he arrived and even saved Qing Lian’er’s life.

His entrance was undoubtedly very eye-catching and made him look more extraordinary. He immediately overshadowed Sha Liuchan and Qing Lian’er.

“It’s better to come at a good time than to come early. Now that Zhongli Wuji has appeared, it’s time to determine who is stronger!” many cultivators exclaimed.

But the genius talents wore strange expressions. How could they not tell that Zhongli Wuji had arrived long ago and had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the best moment to make his appearance?

Why did he do that?

It was simple!

Firstly, he could steal the limelight from Sha Liuchan and Qing Lian’er and make himself look extraordinary.

Secondly, he could save Qing Lian’er’s life. This was a huge favor, so even if Qing Lian’er was reluctant to do so, sooner or later she would have to repay him!

The timing was too perfect like he planned everything beforehand. Who would believe that it was just a coincidence?
