Chapter 704: Chapter 702: Sweeping Through the Demon Sect!
Ning Xue was on the verge of tears from anxiety.
"Junior Brother Lin, how can you still be bragging at a time like this?"
Beside her, Lu Jiu’s face was also filled with terror. "We have to escape now! We can’t let them surround us, or we’re dead for sure!"
"I’m not bragging. Dealing with them will be as easy as turning over my hand," Lin Xuan said confidently.
Hearing this, Ning Xue and Lu Jiu were absolutely livid. They admitted that Lin Xuan was strong, strong enough to defeat a Three-Star Grandmaster, but that had been a one-on-one duel. The approaching Demon Race powerhouses included not only Three-Star Grandmasters but also many Two-Star Grandmasters. If they joined forces, they would be an incredibly formidable power. No matter how strong Lin Xuan was, he couldn’t possibly withstand them.
「In the shadows.」
Three Fourth-Tier Disciples were also present, sent by the Sacred Institute to protect the participants and record their progress. The one responsible for recording Ning Xue’s achievements was her elder sister, Ning Yu. Coincidentally, the one recording Lin Xuan’s achievements was an acquaintance of his: Mo Fan, the Fourth-Grade Alchemy Master who had assessed him when he first joined the Pill Emperor Hall.
They were all following in secret. Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words, they were left speechless.
"Alas," Mo Fan sighed. "Isn’t this Lin Xuan too much of a braggart? To think he’s still boasting at a time like this."
Even Ning Yu was bewildered. She wasn’t very familiar with Lin Xuan. She only knew that he had saved her sister, for which she was very grateful. Beyond that, she knew he was a genius, but she never expected his personality to be so arrogant and overconfident. Is this guy really reliable?
Beside them was another Fourth-Tier Disciple named Zhan Hu. Witnessing this scene, he rolled his eyes, clearly not believing Lin Xuan’s words either. "Looks like we’ll have to step in soon," he said. "Alas, I didn’t expect these three to be eliminated right after they arrived."
Although the Fourth-Tier Disciples could save Lin Xuan’s life by intervening, it would also signify that the trio had failed their mission and would be immediately disqualified.
Lin Xuan might be the first one eliminated. How unexpected.
「On the street ahead.」
Ning Xue and Lu Jiu exchanged a look, then quickly grabbed Lin Xuan’s shoulders, preparing to drag him away into a swift escape.
"Trying to leave now? It’s too late!"
The Demon Sect powerhouses who rushed over surrounded them with sneers. They had sensed Lin Xuan’s potent vitality and flown over immediately. Such powerful vitality is a great tonic! After devouring him, our strength will surely increase again.
"Stop them! Don’t let them escape!"
The one leading them was a Three-Star Grandmaster whose cultivation had reached the early Three-Star stage. He was visibly excited. Hearing his command, the other Demon Race powerhouses quickened their pace. In an instant, they had Lin Xuan’s group completely surrounded.
"This is bad!" Lu Jiu’s expression changed drastically.
"It’s over," Ning Xue said, her face a mask of despair.
One step too late. We’re surrounded. Now we can’t escape even if we grew wings. We’re no match for them at all... Our fate is going to be miserable!
「In the shadows.」
Seeing this, Ning Yu, Mo Fan, and the other Fourth-Tier Disciple sighed. It was time for them to intervene. They couldn’t let Lin Xuan’s group perish.
But just as they were about to act, Lin Xuan let out a cold chuckle. "So you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been waiting for you."
"You remnants of the Demon Sect, surrender now or face the consequences."
Lin Xuan’s voice was sonorous, resonating in all directions.
This left the Demon Sect remnants stunned. Where did this kid get the courage to say such things?
The leading Three-Star Grandmaster’s expression turned particularly dark. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "Capture him! I’m going to rip out his tendons, peel off his skin, and torture him to death!" How dare he challenge our Demon Sect? He’s truly courting death.
The surrounding Demon Sect powerhouses sneered and sprang into action.
Ning Xue despaired. Lu Jiu despaired. At such a critical moment, Lin Xuan is still bragging! He even dared to arrogantly challenge the Demon Sect! Isn’t that just courting death? It’s over... our fate will be worse than death.
"Die, kid!" the surrounding Demon Sect powerhouses charged forward.
"Move!" Mo Fan and the others in the shadows prepared to intervene.
But at that critical moment, Lin Xuan acted first. His hands formed a seal, and a draconic roar echoed out. From his position at the center, black, water-like ripples swept outwards. The ripples moved with extreme speed, instantly rushing out like a black dragon.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire space began to boil violently, as if a meteor had just crashed into it. Immediately, the charging Demon Sect powerhouses clutched their heads and screamed in agony. One by one, they collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The cries of agony rose and fell but quickly subsided as the Demon Sect powerhouses stopped screaming. Each one lay on the ground, their eyes wide with disbelief, unable to rest in peace. The leading Three-Star Grandmaster was no exception, dying with the same shocked expression.
What just happened?
Mo Fan and the two other disciples, who had been about to intervene, were stunned by what they saw.
Dead? All of the Demon Sect powerhouses are dead? Even the Three-Star Grandmaster was killed instantly in a single strike! How is this possible? Are we dreaming?
Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
Ning Yu was dumbfounded.
Zhan Hu was dumbfounded.
「Ahead.」
Lu Jiu and Ning Xue were also dumbfounded. To be honest, they had been truly desperate just moments ago, thinking they were doomed. But unexpectedly, the situation had reversed dramatically. Lin Xuan had actually killed all their enemies, and in an instant, no less!
All ten Demon Sect powerhouses were dead!
This is unbelievable! Is this Lin Xuan’s true strength? He’s overwhelmingly strong!
They knew Lin Xuan was powerful, but they never imagined he was *this* powerful! No wonder Lin Xuan was so confident before. No wonder he paid these Demon Sect powerhouses no mind.
So this is how strong Lin Xuan really is.
Thinking of this, Ning Xue exclaimed, "Junior Brother Lin, you’re incredible!"
Lu Jiu was even more excited, cheering, "Holy crap, am I dreaming? How did you do that?"
The two of them jumped and shouted, practically going crazy.
「In hiding.」
Mo Fan and the others were also dumbfounded. They also hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to be so formidable.
Mo Fan gasped. Apparently, this kid wasn’t bluffing. He really does have the power to sweep away everything in his path!
Ning Yu was even more amazed. "That was a sonic attack, wasn’t it? I heard that Junior Brother Lin previously mastered the Earth Tier martial art, the Celestial Sound Black Dragon Wave. I just never expected he could cultivate the Black Dragon Wave to such a level. He can even instantly kill a Three-Star Grandmaster... It’s truly heaven-defying!"
Zhan Hu was also in shock. Is this this year’s Rookie King? He’s unbelievably strong.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Seeing his level, I feel he might have a chance to take first place in this mission."
"That really seems possible." Ning Yu and Mo Fan nodded in agreement. They also began to feel a sense of anticipation. If Lin Xuan really took first place, they wondered what expressions the Third-Tier senior disciples would have. The very thought was exciting.
「Further away, another person was hiding.」
This person was Jin Ze.
Jin Ze was determined to follow Lin Xuan and keep track of his position at all times. This way, his family’s experts could find and kill Lin Xuan. After entering Lion Moon City, he saw that Lin Xuan wasn’t moving, which puzzled him greatly.
What’s going on? What is this kid doing just standing there?
Later, when he saw ten Demon Race powerhouses being drawn toward him, Jin Ze’s scalp tingled.
This kid is crazy. He’s practically asking to be killed.
He sneered. Hmph. It looks like my family won’t even need to make a move. This kid is about to be reduced to ashes.
But the result was completely beyond his expectations. Lin Xuan had instantly killed ten Demon Race powerhouses!
This is unbelievable! This guy’s strength is actually this high?
Jin Ze felt a wave of despair. He would likely never be able to catch up to Lin Xuan in this lifetime.
No, he must be killed. I absolutely cannot let this kid live any longer. Otherwise, he will become my nightmare for the rest of my life.
He quickly contacted his family. Soon, he received a response: the family had already dispatched two Six-Star Grandmasters.
Knowing this, Jin Ze was overwhelmed with excitement.
Excellent! No matter how strong that kid is, there’s no way he can withstand an attack from two Six-Star Grandmasters. Even with Fourth-Tier Disciples protecting him, it won’t be enough. He’ll only be safe if he has a King-level expert guarding him. But what King would ever guard a kid like him? Just you wait. This time, that kid is doomed for sure.
