Chapter 3124 Why Use a Butcher’s Blade to Kill a Chicken?
“They’re here.” Xing Jianxia’s eyes flashed like lightning as he gazed into the distance.
From every direction, old monsters from the various factions advanced in force, forming a vast and aggressive army that swept toward the Five Elements Heavenly Pass. Their numbers were staggering and their lineup terrifying.
Such a display was rare even within the Fate Lotus World. The gazes of countless spectators shifted toward the pass. Killing intent filled the heavens and the earth.
Lin Xun’s eyes were deep as an abyss as he slowly swept his gaze across the incoming figures. A cold smile curved his lips. “Unwilling to retreat even after defeat? Fine. Line up and wait to die, one by one.”
The words were spoken casually, almost lazily, yet they carried an overbearing dominance. Ying Tiansheng and Jiang Mingshui’s expressions darkened.
Line up to die? What kind of arrogance was that?!
“When we seize this Five Elements Heavenly Pass,” Jiang Mingshui said coldly, “I’ll make you repeat those words.”
“Enough nonsense. Who’s first for a life or death duel?” Lin Xun declared bluntly, too lazy to waste any more breath on them.
Life or death...
Jiang Mingshui and Ying Tiansheng both faltered. Even with their overwhelming numbers, they had never truly intended to stake everything on life-or-death duels. Lin Xun’s blunt challenge made their chests feel stifled, their expressions growing darker and darker.
Seeing this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but laugh softly, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain. “I thought you all had such great courage. Turns out you’re nothing more than this.”
Xing Jianxia and the others burst into laughter as well, their mocking voices echoing across the battlefield.
Jiang Mingshui and Ying Tiansheng felt their blood boil.
Arrogant! Unbearably arrogant!
“I’ll deal with this brat.”
Lu Zhongyan’s eyes turned ice-cold. With a flick of his sleeve, he struck the Great Dao Ring Monuments engraved with ‘victory or defeat.’
Buzz!
A shower of radiant light erupted into the sky, weaving together in the void before transforming into an ancient battlefield steeped in cold, bloody aura.
At the same time, Xing Jianjia’s killing intent surged. “Let me handle him.”
Lin Xun shook his head calmly. “Why use a butcher’s blade to slaughter chickens? Senior, don’t rush. You’ll have plenty of chances later.”
Chickens?!
Lu Zhongyan’s youthful, handsome face twisted with fury, his eyes blazing with murderous light.
Buzz!
The next moment, he and Lin Xun appeared on the battlefield simultaneously, standing opposite one another across the void. All eyes locked onto them.
Lu Zhongyan was a terrifying existence who had survived six Great Silence Unlife Calamities. His battle power surpassed that of Qiu Fengchi and Demon Lord Huyong, and was enough to contend with giants like Ying Tiansheng and Jiang Mingshui.
Even within the Fate Lotus World, he stood among the absolute peak. Despite that, neither Ying Tiansheng nor the distant spectators dared to say with certainty that he would win.
Because his opponent was Lin Xun! He was a terrifying figure who had once slain Demon Lord Huyong while still at the perfect Creation Realm. Now, he had stepped into the Immeasurable Realm.
Who could forget that Qiu Fengchi and other Greater Boundless Realm giants had been slaughtered by him before the Four Symbols Heavenly Gate? Who could forget that, just moments ago, Lin Xun had single-handedly overturned the entire battle and pulled Daoist Shanfeng and the others back from the brink of destruction?
Although Lin Xun had yet to undergo even a single Great Silence Unlife Calamity, his combat prowess alone was already enough to make every giant present feel deeply wary.
“What? You don’t agree with me saying this is using a butcher’s blade to slaughter chickens? Fine. Then I’ll show you what it really means to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys!” Lin Xun said calmly, without the slightest hint of courtesy.
Those words were an outright humiliation, causing Lu Zhongyan’s expression to flicker violently between rage and gloom. He drew a deep breath and spoke through clenched teeth, each word heavy and cold. “Then I’ll really have to see it for myself!”
Buzz—
Soon, the suppressing law power around them dissipated. Almost at once, Lu Zhongyan made his move.
Boom! His fiery robes billowed as blazing dao light erupted from his body, making him look as though he was wreathed in divine flames. His aura surged to its absolute peak. A massive sword appeared in his hand.
The blade burned like liquid fire, its sword intent boiling and roaring, radiating a terrifying power that seemed capable of incinerating the heavens themselves. This was his Eternal weapon, Burning World.
“Slash!”
Lu Zhongyan surged forward, shattering the void with a single step. The giant sword reversed in his grasp like an inverted galaxy, and a torrent of world-destroying flames cleaved downward. It was as though a sea of heavenly fire had descended upon the world!
This single strike alone was enough to leave countless old monsters outside the battlefield inwardly shaken. As expected of someone who had survived six Great Silence Unlife Calamities, his very first move was already a full-force killing blow, terrifying beyond measure.
Boom! Divine flames raged wildly, wreaking havoc as a heaven-burning sword aura swept forth.
Despite that, Lin Xun merely stood with one hand behind his back, while the other casually swept forward. The movement was light, relaxed, as though brushing dust from his sleeve.
Boom! The divine flames shattered. The sword intent collapsed. Worse still, the giant sword in Lu Zhongyan’s hand trembled violently, as if struck by a heavenly hammer. With a deafening clang, it was nearly knocked out of his grip.
His face instantly drained of color. His figure froze mid-strike before being blasted backward like a falling meteor. With a single casual motion, Lin Xun repelled a peerless enemy. That sent a jolt through all the old monsters outside the battlefield, their expressions changing at once.
Especially Ying Tiansheng and the others, who had previously witnessed Lin Xun’s combat power after he ascended to the Immeasurable Realm. Now they realized that Lin Xun was far stronger than he had been over twenty years ago!
Even Xing Jianxia and the others were stunned. This was the first time they had seen Lin Xun fight one-on-one. Watching Lu Zhongyan be crushed so effortlessly, a chill crept into their hearts. The present Lin Xun was truly terrifying!
“Is that all you’ve got?”
Lin Xun spoke lightly, but the contempt in his words was impossible to conceal. Lu Zhongyan’s expression finally became serious. He drew in a deep breath, gripped the sword with both hands, raised it before him, and slammed the hilt toward the void.
Boom!
Thousands of sword intents surged forth, transforming into towering sword mountains that arranged themselves across the void, dense and endless, like a forest of blades stretching into the heavens. Each sword mountain resonated with the others, forming layer upon layer of impenetrable barriers.
It was as though, to even touch Lu Zhongyan, one would first have to cross this vast mountain range of swords. Ying Tiansheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They could all see that Lu Zhongyan had changed his strategy, abandoning offense for absolute defense.
In this way, they could stall for time, gradually wearing Lin Xun down. Even if were defeated in the end, at least his life would not be in danger.
Seeing this, Lin Xun merely shook his head, “It’s useless.”
Before the last word had even faded, he stepped forward into the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each step, the heavens trembled and the earth cracked. The void itself sank inward as Lin Xun’s aura surged higher and higher, rising like an unstoppable tide. By the time he reached the towering sword mountains, his presence was like that of an unparalleled sovereign descending upon the world, his figure shrouded in hazy, chaotic divine radiance woven from boundless law power.
Lu Zhongyan drew a sharp breath, his expression changing once more.
“Go!” he roared. In an instant, thousands of sword mountains began to rotate and rise, transforming into colossal divine swords that pointed toward Lin Xun and cleaved down from every direction.
At that moment, Lin Xun raised a single finger. A wisp of finger force shot forth, like a razor-sharp ray of light that pierced through eternity itself.
PU! The foremost sword mountain was instantly pierced through, and then...
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Visible to the naked eye, that finger force tore straight through thousands of sword mountains as if they were layers of paper, advancing with unstoppable momentum!
So fast! It surged forward with unstoppable momentum, arriving before Lu Zhongyan in the blink of an eye. At this critical moment, a fiery-red bronze mirror, as if forged from divine gold, appeared out of thin air before Lu Zhongyan.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the battlefield. The mirror managed to block the finger force, but was immediately covered in dense, spiderweb-like cracks before shattering into countless fragments.
Lu Zhongyan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filling with horror. The defensive power of the thousands of sword mountains was incomparably strong, yet it was pierced through by a single finger, and his crimson shield was shattered on the spot!
This crushing power sent chills down the spine of even an old monster like Lu Zhongyan, making him truly realize how terrifying Lin Xun was. He even began to regret being the first to step forward and challenge Lin Xun...
“Is there any difference between you and a chicken now?” Lin Xun strode toward him, his gaze cold and piercing.
Treating a Greater Boundless Realm giant like livestock...it was the greatest humiliation imaginable. The old monsters outside the battlefield all felt their faces burn with shame and fury.
However, Lu Zhongyan had no time to care. Seeing Lin Xun closing in, he retreated in a flash, attempting to fight while maintaining distance. In the outside world, such tactics could have worked perfectly.
Unfortunately, this was a battlefield of victory or defeat. No matter how vast it appeared, it still had its limits, which greatly restricted Lu Zhongyan’s movement. In addition, Lin Xun would never give him any chance to maneuver at all.
Boom! With a flick of his sleeve, a torrential rain of swords descended from the heavens, filling the void and roaring like a collapsing sky.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Lu Zhongyan struggled to defend, swinging his blade wildly, but was forced back again and again, his blood and qi surging chaotically, and his entire state in utter disarray. He had done everything he could, yet he still looked utterly miserable.
Shua!
Just as he tried to dodge again, a massive hand descended from the sky, crushing all resistance, shattering all defenses, and seizing him by the throat.
Bang!
Lu Zhongyan’s body exploded. Before the blood and flesh could even scatter, they were instantly refined by the terrifying principle power surging from Lin Xun’s palm, transforming into a pure and surging mass of Eternal origin power. This was the Five Principle Laws of the Return Dominion, now fused into the profound meaning of Nirvana. With a single thought, Lin Xun could unleash its might.
“No...!” Lu Zhongyan’s primordial spirit screamed in terror. To have an Immeasurable Realm dao body completely refined was a devastating loss. Even if one wished to recover, it would take countless years.
“If this wasn’t a victory or defeat battlefield, do you think you’d still be able to scream?”
As Lin Xun spoke, his fingers tightened once more. Agony tore through Lu Zhongyan’s primordial spirit, as though pierced by ten thousand swords, his consciousness blurring into haze.
At that very moment, the laws of the battlefield erupted, forcibly carrying away Lu Zhongyan’s primordial spirit at the brink of life and death.
Lin Xun was already used to such scenes and showed no surprise. He picked up the massive sword Lu Zhongyan had left behind, then his figure vanished into thin air from the battlefield.
Looking around, everyone was utterly stunned!
