Chapter 1236 Intention
Thud!
The head fell first, followed by blood splattering everywhere.
Next, Hua Tianhai's body also crashed into the ground.
It became exceedingly quiet for a time as an indescribable fear spread in the heart of every expert present.
Hua Tianhai was an ancient-era genius of the Tiger-Rhino Clan who boasted extremely strong combat ability. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to occupy such a close position to the Divine Underworld Altar.
Despite this, he was killed by Demon God Lin in the blink of an eye!
The bloody scene instantly shocked everyone.
Even those with grudges with Lin Xun such as Wang Ziying’s group, Xue Baoji, Tuoba Hun, and the others couldn’t help but display uncertain expressions at this moment.
The more they learned about Lin Xun, the more they realized how terrifying he was!
Wang Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed before he smiled with an intrigued look in his eyes.
Amidst the silence, Underworld Son rubbed his hands together and sighed in admiration. "Amazing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a person exists in the world."
His praise broke the silence but also made the atmosphere become somewhat weird.
Hua Tianhai was dead, but it seemed that no one cared...
Even Underworld Son had ignored the death and was instead full of praise for Lin Xun!
Lin Xun coldly said, "There are many more things in this world you would not dare to believe. Why are you making such a fuss?"
His words were tinged with ridicule.
Unexpectedly, Underworld Son appeared completely unaffected. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "What Dao Friend said is true. I have been sleeping for thousands of years and am no longer up-to-date with current affairs. That’s why I have many questions to ask everyone."
Lin Xun's pupils constricted. What a sharp-witted individual!
Underworld Son warmly said in an utmost sincere manner, "Dao Friend, if you stay, I promise to give you another blessing in addition to the ancient scripture and the divine herb. What do you think?"
This made the other experts begin to feel that things were becoming a little unfair. Why could he receive such treatment?
Someone frowned and said, "Your Highness, this seems a little unfair of you, right?"
Others also spoke up to voice their dissatisfaction.
Underworld Son chuckled. "Don't worry, anyone who chooses to stay will have a chance to obtain blessings!"
Everyone felt a little better after hearing these words.
However, there were also some that didn’t believe them such as Wang Xuanyu.
He frowned as if unable to understand as he asked, "You make such verbal promises but we’ve yet to see any real sincerity. Moreover, if it’s only chatting, why does Dao Friend need to entice us with blessings and treasures to stay?"
Everyone's hearts suddenly shivered. Wang Xuanyu had pointed out the crux of the problem!
Why did they have to stay? Was it merely to chat?
Wang Xuanyu's expression remained calm as he unhurriedly said, "To put it bluntly, aren't you worried that we’ll join forces to take the blessings from you?"
A single sentence caused the atmosphere to change as several experts’ gazes began to flicker in thought.
Underworld Son’s blood diamond-like eyes narrowed slightly. He was silent for a moment before he softly sighed and said, "It seems that it will be difficult to convince everyone with only words..."
Swish!
He soared into the air with his long blood-colored hair fluttering wildly as an endlessly terrifying pressure spread from him.
Many people suddenly found themselves unable to breathe as their expressions changed slightly.
Even Wang Xuanyu’s expression hardened.
Crash~
With a wave of Underworld Son’s sleeve, treasures appeared one after another amidst gorgeous flashes of light. There were ancient leather scriptures, mysterious jade cauldrons, divine herbs, and various other articles.
The sudden burst of treasure light immediately drew everyone’s attention.
"This is my sincerity!"
Underworld Son's low voice chimed in a uniquely magnetic manner, "Dao Friends who choose to stay will be given one of these treasures."
For a time, many people began to breathe more heavily.
"Of course, if anyone wishes to snatch them by force, you may go ahead and try."
Electricity seemed to flash in Underworld Son’s blood-red eyes as he looked over the crowd.
Several experts who had been considering the thought felt a chill in their hearts and restrained themselves.
Someone asked, "Are there any other conditions for choosing to stay?"
Underworld Son smiled faintly and said, "Yes, since I just woke up and am all alone, I intend to gather a group of like-minded subordinates to conquer the world together. As people who have managed to reach this place after experiencing much difficulty and hardships, you guys are naturally the cream of the crop and have the qualifications to be used by me."
These words were filled with domineering arrogance as if serving him was an incomparable honor.
However, they sounded very unpleasant to the experts present and caused their expressions to darken.
After all, who among them wasn’t a Supreme King expert? There was also no shortage of first-class experts like the ancient-era geniuses and everyone had great pride in themselves.
Given these circumstances, who would willingly become someone else’s subordinate?
"So that is your true intention."
Wang Xuanyu stood up. There was now a hint of iciness between his brows.
In the distance, Lin Xun also inwardly sneered. It turned out that there was another motive like he had expected.
Of course, there were also individuals who were tempted by Underworld Son’s proposal. After all, it was quite enticing to not only gain an amazing treasure but also receive the opportunity to join Underworld Son’s camp.
Of course, that was only if Underworld Son possessed strength that they could acknowledge!
"Everyone, do you understand what it means to follow me?"
Underworld Son’s clothes fluttered around him as he exuded a strong air of disdainful arrogance that dashed into the sky. "I’ve been slumbering in the Upper Nine Realms for thousands of years. The secrets I know, the blessings in my possession, and my foundations are far beyond your comprehension. "
"Right now, I can only tell you guys that those who follow me will have the chance to become Supreme Saint experts in the future!"
These words shocked everyone.
Becoming a Supreme King was already a miracle that would draw the entire world’s attention. Hence, there was no way anyone could remain calm at the suggestion of becoming a Supreme Saint.
"Of course, becoming a Saint expert is still premature for any of us here."
Underworld Son placed his hands behind his back as he looked down at everyone and said, "Those who follow me will obtain blessings, my guidance, and the opportunity to seek the almighty dao together!"
The crowd stirred in excitement as they revealed varying expressions.
Several people were already convinced.
However, Lin Xun wasn’t part of this group. To him, this was nothing more than a ploy to entice them to become his subordinates.
Wang Xuanyu indifferently asked, "What if we wish to leave?"
He was clearly not tempted.
"It's certainly not impossible to leave."
Underworld Son’s expression turned a little cold as he looked at Wang Xuanyu. "Forcing things onto others has always been beneath me. However, everyone has obtained quite a few blessings from the Underworld, right? Since the Underworld is my territory, isn’t it a little unreasonable for you guys to just leave like this?"
"What nonsense!"
Wang Xuanyu frostily said, "Does the Underworld become your territory just because you say so? What a bold claim! Hmph, why don’t you go ahead and also claim that the Supreme Realm is also yours?"
These words made Lin Xun view Wang Xuanyu in a different light. However, he was still going to rob Wang Xuanyu regardless.
However, his following words caused Lin Xun to be speechless.
"Brother Lin, now that you’ve seen it all, you should also understand that anyone who wishes to leave will have to first get past this very arrogant Underworld Son. Shouldn’t we be working together?"
Wang Xuanyu looked at Lin Xun with utmost sincerity.
Lin Xun almost couldn't help but roll his eyes. Are we supposed to be close?
"No need, I feel that it will be better for us to move independently."
Lin Xun flatly refused.
If he were to cooperate with Wang Xuanyu, wouldn’t it become very difficult to rob him in the future?
Underworld Son’s expression turned ice-cold as he said, "There’s no need for things to be so troublesome. If anyone manages to block three moves from me, I promise not to stop you guys from leaving!"
Everyone was shocked.
Three moves?
How strong and confident was he to make such a claim?
Wang Xuanyu gasped and said, "Brother Lin, I feel like he’s even more arrogant than you. How can you tolerate that?"
The familiarity with which he acted made Lin Xun speechless again. He said, "You’d better worry about yourself."
Wang Xuanyu was unfazed. He smiled and said, "It seems that I’ll have to test Underworld Son’s abilities first."
He drifted into the air and stood in the sky. A pair of strange symbols appeared in his eyes and turned into a pair of yin and yang fish.
He seemed to become a completely different person all of a sudden and exuded a formidable aura that rushed into the sky. It was an aura that could only be cultivated from a long time of killing and would make anyone’s heart shiver in fear.
Wang Xuanyu said in a powerful voice, "Come then, show me how capable you are to dare to make such bold claims."
Everyone’s gazes immediately turned to watch.
If Wang Xuanyu managed to block three moves, he would invalidate Underworld Son’s bold claim. If that happened, everyone would probably attack Underworld Son to seize his treasures!
On the other hand, if Wang Xuanyu failed, Underworld Son’s strength would be proven and many people would likely begin to earnestly consider joining him!
Underworld Son softly sighed. "You possess the Great One Precious Eye and have managed to become a Supreme King expert. I genuinely do not wish to make things difficult for you. If you change your mind now, I am willing to overlook this."
"Please make your move!"
Wang Xuanyu's reply was simple and to the point. He had already made his decision.
Underworld Son’s blood-colored eyes swirled with divine light as he stared at Wang Xuanyu for some time. In the end, he nodded and said, "Fine then, it shall be as you wish!"
Rumble!
As soon as these words rang out, Underworld Son shot through the air like a streak of blood-colored light as he rushed forth at an unbelievable speed.
His slender, white hand reached out and viciously pressed forward like the hand of the Underworld God seeking to harvest one’s soul!
It was an extremely simple attack, but it made everyone’s scalps turn numb.
What a strong attack!
As its target, Wang Xuanyu could feel this especially well. His expression became extremely serious as a pair of strange symbols shot out from his eyes and intertwined in the air with a clanging dao sound.
Chii!
A black and white ray of light shot forth.
Great One Precious Light!
Lin Xun, however, wasn’t paying any attention to the earth-shaking clash at the moment because he had suddenly discovered a big black bird carrying a black wok suspiciously looking around in the distance...
