Chapter 705: Chapter 703: A Formidable Enemy Approaches!
After dealing with the experts from the Demon Sect, Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let’s go, time for a new spot!"
He then led Ning Xue and Lu Jiu to another quiet location. Lin Xuan repeated his tactic, once again releasing his aura. At that moment, he was like a flame in the darkness, waiting for moths to fly into it.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before another group of Demon Sect experts was drawn in. Their lineup was similar to the last: one Three-Star Grandmaster, five Two-Star Grandmasters, and four One-Star Grandmasters. They rushed over with immense excitement, eager to devour Lin Xuan. But as they drew near, Lin Xuan merely sneered and once again unleashed the Celestial Sound Black Dragon Wave.
Another black sound wave swept across the area, annihilating all souls in its path. Instantly, the Demon Sect experts at the forefront tumbled to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
However, this time, not all of them died; four One-Star Grandmasters survived.
"Huh, what happened?" Ning Xue and Lu Jiu paused in surprise. "Lin Xuan slipped up this time."
But Lin Xuan just laughed and said, "These are for you. You don’t want to go home empty-handed, do you? Go on, these are good for some points."
Lin Xuan only needed the Three-Star and Two-Star Grandmasters. He could leave the One-Star Grandmasters to Ning Xue and Lu Jiu. Hearing this, the two became incredibly excited and rushed forward without hesitation. Although the four One-Star Grandmasters were still alive, they were severely wounded and lay on the ground, completely unable to fight back. Lu Jiu and Ning Xue easily dispatched them.
Each of them killed two, which amounted to 200 points. Did we get them just like that? This is too easy! It’s completely effortless!
The two returned to Lin Xuan’s side, asking excitedly, "Junior Brother Lin, where are we headed next?"
"Let’s go, on to the next spot," Lin Xuan said, preparing to change locations again to attract more Demon Sect experts.
Behind them, Jin Ze followed silently. He was numb from watching. This guy is terrifying! The more he observed, the more his shock grew.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Stage disciples lurking in the shadows—Mo Fan, Ning Yu, and Zhan Hu—were also silent. To be honest, from their perspective, while the disciples wouldn’t face life-threatening danger with them as protectors, they had expected the mission to be anything but easy. They thought the disciples might have a rough time, perhaps even being miserably hunted by Demon Sect experts. But they never imagined it would be like this. With a mere wave of Lin Xuan’s hand, the Demon Sect experts were reduced to ashes. It was so easy it made them question their own reality. This kid is a true monster.
For the third time, Lin Xuan activated his Ten Thousand Dragon Physique, releasing a powerful Qi and Blood Power to lure in Demon Sect experts. This time, however, it took much longer. Four hours passed before a team finally arrived. Their lineup was similar to the previous ones. The leader, a Three-Star Grandmaster, laughed boisterously as he charged.
"Haha! Such strong qi and blood! Looks like I’ve found a remarkable genius! After I devour you, I’ll definitely break through!"
The other Demon Sect experts around him sneered. "Kid, prepare to die!"
Finally! Lin Xuan was thrilled.
Ning Xue and Lu Jiu also started laughing. "Haha, another batch has come to offer their lives!"
"Great! More points for us!"
The Demon Sect members were speechless. What’s going on? These Saint Academy disciples aren’t scared at all; in fact, they’re excited. Are they out of their minds? Wait, could it be an ambush?
At this thought, they halted and looked around suspiciously. But after scanning the area for a while, they found no trace of an ambush. It seemed to be just the three of them. To act so arrogantly with only three people, they truly don’t know their own limits.
The Demon Sect members charged forward once more. They were determined to show these Saint Academy disciples the true might of the Demon Sect. But the result?
They were instantly killed by Lin Xuan. As they collapsed, the Demon Sect experts finally understood why the trio had been so happy. So they’re this strong... strong enough to kill us in an instant. We really picked the wrong opponent this time.
Ning Xue and Lu Jiu happily went to deliver the finishing blows.
In the shadows, Mo Fan’s group of three remained silent, completely stunned. Lin Xuan had already killed three Three-Star Grandmasters. That was 3,000 points right there. Adding in the other Two-Star Grandmasters, the kid’s total had already surpassed 10,000.
The speed at which he’s earning points is just too fast. And this is only the first night. They couldn’t help but wonder just how many Demon Sect experts he would ultimately slay and how many points he could amass. They were extremely curious. As things stood, Lin Xuan was now ranked first among all the disciples.
Lin Xuan himself was immensely satisfied. He calculated his points and felt a surge of excitement. Not bad at all. This mission is perfect for me.
Beside him, Ning Xue and Lu Jiu were equally overjoyed. In just a short time, they had each accumulated nearly 1,000 points. It felt like a dream. When did earning Saint Academy points become so easy?
Lin Xuan continued to release his Qi and Blood Power to attract more Demon Sect experts.
Meanwhile, deep within Lion Moon City, several figures were gathered in a certain villa. Dressed in black robes, they exuded terrifying auras; they were all members of the Demon Sect. Moreover, their cultivation was all at the late stage of the Three-Star Grandmaster realm.
"Hey, something’s not right," one of the experts said suddenly, his brow furrowed. "In the area near the North Gate, our people’s auras suddenly vanished."
"Could they have been dealt with?"
The words sent a shock through the room, and the faces of the other Demon Sect experts in the villa changed. Dealt with? Impossible. There should have been three ten-man teams near the North Gate, each led by a Three-Star Grandmaster. Even if a powerful enemy appeared, they shouldn’t have been able to wipe out all three teams.
One expert said, "I heard the Saint Academy was sending disciples to Lion Moon City. They’ve probably arrived."
"Could it be one of the Saint Academy’s top geniuses?"
Another shook his head. "Unlikely. Our presence in Lion Moon City isn’t that strong; we don’t even have a single Four-Star Grandmaster. Even if the Saint Academy sent disciples, they wouldn’t send anyone too powerful."
"Then what’s going on?"
They broke into a heated discussion.
"I’ll go take a look," a man said, standing up. His voice was heavy. His name was Xue Tu, and he was responsible for the North Gate area. With all three of his teams having lost contact, he naturally had to investigate.
"Then be careful," someone advised.
Xue Tu just grinned. "Don’t worry, I won’t have any problems. I want to see for myself who’s behind this."
The others laughed. "You guys don’t know Xue Tu’s strength? His cultivation has reached the late Three-Star Grandmaster stage. Who could possibly defeat him?"
"Exactly. Anyone who runs into Xue Tu is in for a massive headache."
Hearing this, all the Demon Sect experts relaxed and smiled. Indeed, they had no reason to worry about Xue Tu’s safety. No one could pose a threat to him.
With a flicker, Xue Tu transformed into a black shadow and shot out of the villa.
Lin Xuan waited for a long time, but no one came. He frowned slightly. It seemed he had already lured out all the Demon Sect experts in this area. There was probably no point in staying here any longer. He decided to wait for another hour. If no one showed up by then, he would move to a different region.
And so, he waited quietly.
An hour later, Lin Xuan suddenly looked up into the distance. A terrifying power was rushing toward them. An expert is here!
His expression turned grave. This aura was far stronger than any of the previous ones. A late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster! It’s a true master this time. But so what? Lin Xuan’s strength was also at the late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster level. He wasn’t the least bit afraid.
High in the air, Xue Tu flew rapidly toward the North Gate area. When he saw the corpses of the Demon Sect experts, his face turned grim. Their faces were masks of terror, and they had bled from all seven orifices. They had clearly been shaken to death.
So it was a soul expert. How unexpected. But it doesn’t matter. I will not let this person get away.
He began to search his surroundings, and soon, he sensed a potent Qi and Blood Power in the distance. He flew quickly in that direction and soon spotted Lin Xuan’s trio. Xue Tu’s gaze immediately locked onto Lin Xuan. This kid’s Qi and Blood Power is incredibly strong. He’s a master. It seems he’s the one who slaughtered my three teams.
He descended from the sky, landing in front of Lin Xuan and fixing him with an icy gaze. "Was it you who killed my subordinates?" he asked coldly.
"That’s right," Lin Xuan said, staring right back at him. "And don’t worry, I’ll be sending you to Hell to join them soon enough."
"You’re seeking death!" Xue Tu roared. He took a step forward, and the Magic Power on his body erupted, sweeping in all directions.
Ning Xue and Lu Jiu, who had been excited to see someone else deliver themselves to their doorstep, felt this power and their expressions changed drastically. They stumbled back more than a dozen steps before regaining their footing, their faces filled with terror.
This aura... It’s a late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster!
"Dammit, this one’s a real master!"
"Lin Xuan, run! You can’t beat him!" No matter how strong Lin Xuan was, he probably couldn’t defeat a late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster.
"Escape? In your dreams!" Xue Tu snorted. After killing so many of his men, he would never let this opponent get away.
But Lin Xuan didn’t move to flee. He smiled. "Don’t worry. I don’t need to run from him. I can handle this." Lin Xuan’s strength was equivalent to a late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster, so he wasn’t afraid in the slightest. In fact, he was looking forward to the fight.
What?
Hearing this, Ning Xue was stunned. Lu Jiu was also stunned. Can Lin Xuan really contend with a late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster? You’ve got to be kidding.
Even in the shadows, Mo Fan and his group shook their heads. This kid is bragging again. A late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster was incredibly formidable. Among all the disciples who had come, only Qin Feng and Xu Qing could single-handedly take on such an opponent. No matter how strong Lin Xuan was, he couldn’t be a match for a late-stage Three-Star Grandmaster. If he insisted on a direct confrontation, he was bound to suffer a great loss.
