Chapter 1245 Lump in the Throat
The beauty was only a short distance away, but best of all, she seemed to have given up resisting and was resigning herself to fate.
The oblong faced youngster was beyond excited to see her like that. She’s Demon God Lin’s woman, and she will soon become my prey!
“You all deserve to die!” A voice was so cold with anger that it seemed able to freeze one’s soul.
At the same time, a rush of fierce murderous intent swept the world with a roar like a tsunami.
The void instantly turned to chaos.
The nearby rocks and trees were pulverized.
The living creatures hibernating thousands of miles away, no matter how strong or weak they were, were crouching on the ground and trembling like crazy.
Huh?
The young man with the long and narrow face felt a grip of fear and a chill ran through him. An incomparably strong feeling of imminent danger enveloped him.
It was as though the slightest movement from him would trigger a fatal disaster!
But the beautiful prey was less than a yard away from him...
His eyes reddened with strong reluctance and unwillingness, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to continue.
Bang!
However, his arm only stretched out when it ruptured, and his flesh and blood seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
He bellowed in agony from the unbearable pain as he wildly drew back.
Bang!
But just as he retreated, he felt his body crushed by a sacred mountain with streaks of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Strangely, not a splatter of blood touched the beautiful figure.
“This is bad!
“Ah…”
Only then did Wang Ziying and others react, expressions changing drastically and their minds shaking like crazy. Without any hesitation, they chose to retreat.
Everything happened too quickly and suddenly.
So fast that they had no time to rescue the oblong faced youngster and could only watch him die a sudden violent death.
But what freaked them out the most was that, from beginning to end, they failed to pinpoint the attacker’s location.
Rumble!
This part of the world had dimmed, the airflow raged chaotically, and an incomparable murderous intent crashed down like raging waves.
Vaguely, everyone felt like they had been thrown into purgatory!
It was at that moment they saw the enemy.
It was a tall and graceful figure with its back facing everyone and looking at the maiden who was sitting quietly like a beautiful flawless sculpture.
It was just a back view but it was enough to make Wang Ziyang and the others feel a suffocating pressure pressing down on them. It felt as though the figure standing there was not a human but a demon!
Of course, the figure was Lin Xun.
Just as he was about to leave the Underworld River Forbidden Zone, he unexpectedly detected some battle movements.
And the moment he arrived, he recognized Zhao Jingxuan with one glance!
Seeing her encircled like that made him feel as though his heart was being slashed multiple times and unspeakable rage rose within him.
This was the periphery area of the Underworld River Forbidden Zone. How could he not see that Zhao Jingxuan had been waiting here during the four years he disappeared?
He never imagined this, and it made him indescribably moved. His emotions surged like a tide, constantly bombarding his mind.
A person had settled here, waiting for his return...
Four years!
Even if Lin Xun was an idiot, he still understood how precious their relationship was!
Precisely because of that, the sight of Wang Ziying and others cornering Zhao Jingxuan sparked unprecedented anger in Lin Xun!
Fortunately, he came in time.
He could put a stop to it!
If he was any later, he dared not imagine the outcome!
However, when he saw Zhao Jingxuan, he was struck still for a minute.
“Jingxuan?” He cried out but the beautiful woman before him seemed unaware, sitting upright silently and motionlessly.
Just like a statue.
Lin Xun’s pupils suddenly shrank and his heart convulsed. A bad feeling returned.
The woman’s silky hair was darker than ink and her stunning face was calm and devoid of emotions. Her eyes were unblinkingly fixed on the cauldron in her hands with an indescribably tranquil expression.
But Lin Xun opened his eyes wide as if he didn’t believe what he saw. Deep in his heart, unspeakable emotions were fermenting. The intense emotions caused even his hands to tremble uncontrollably.
She…
What happened to her?
“Demon…Demon God Lin!”
A shriek rang out.
In the distance, Wang Ziying and the others finally recognized the person who came, but they were so bewildered that they could not believe their eyes. Isn’t he dead?
Why would he appear here?
“No, this is not true! Four years ago, he fell into the Underworld River! There is no way he could have survived!” Wang Ziying’s expression morphed indefinitely as he howled, “Speak, who are you? Why are you pretending to be Lin Xun who is dead already?!”
“You guys hurt Jingxuan…”
Lin Xun turned around and scanned everyone.
Wang Ziying and others froze to the spot.
They saw Lin Xun clearly with their own eyes. It was him. There was no mistake.
Many people trembled with fear.
A guy who had been confirmed to be dead showed up in front of them four years later. The impact of that left them bewildered and confused, unable to accept it.
That…how is that possible?!
“Everyone don’t panic, he definitely can’t be Lin Xun!” said Wang Ziying through gritted teeth as he took a deep breath.
“Why did you do that…” Lin Xun’s voice was low and hoarse and his dark eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Anyone who met his gaze felt a chill run down their backs as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
If he was not Demon God Lin then how would he have such a frightening imposing bearing?
“Ridiculous. Do you think you can scare us by pretending to be Demon God Lin? Everyone, let’s kill that obnoxious bastard together!” Wang Ziying thundered.
“Yes, that guy must be a fake!”
“Kill!”
The others found their courage. They were afraid of Demon God Lin and not a fake!
Boom!
They launched into attack, each showing their true superb skills.
Lin Xun stepped forward with a bone-chilling murmur, “You all…deserve to die…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The experts all came to a standstill halfway through as if they had been paralyzed. Then, one by one, they exploded. Jets of blood and flesh were hurled in every direction, dyeing the space red.
But Lin Xun, seemingly unaware, continued to stride forward, his dark eyes seeming capable of swallowing the soul like a bottomless abyss.
Only Wang Ziying remained.
However, he was already petrified, jaw dropped while he shook like a leaf. His expression constantly alternated.
Several of his comrades were Supreme King cultivators, and many had passed the longevity tribulation. Among their peers, they were regarded as elites.
But they were all killed!
Worst of all, from the beginning to the end, the attacker made no visible movements except for stepping forward. Even so, his comrades all died violent deaths.
The bloody scene triggered Wang Ziying’s mind to go blank.
How…is that possible?
He could not think of anyone in the Upper Nine Realms who could pull that off!
“Don’t come over here!”
Watching Lin Xun’s figure draw closer and closer, Wang Ziying snapped out of his shocked, lifeless state and frantically stumbled backwards.
His face was deathly pale as he stared at Lin Xun like he was looking at the god of death emerging from hell!
“Tell me the reason and I will let you die more painlessly. Otherwise, I guarantee that the rest of your life will be worse than death!” The hoarse emotionless voice drove Wang Ziyang to his knees and pushed his mind to the brink of collapsing.
“I’ll talk!” Wang Ziying never imagined that he would be so discomposed, frightened, and desperate when facing an opponent.
He could not even think of resisting!
Lin Xun stopped his footsteps and stared at him indifferently.
Wang Ziying revealed the whole truth about coming to capture Zhao Jingxuan alive and offering her to Underworld Son.
The sheer anger and hatred in Lin Xun’s eyes were palpable. “You have already confirmed that I, Lin Xun, am dead. Is there a need to take revenge on those close to me...”
His voice became more and more hoarse.
“You...are you really Lin Xun? You are actually still alive!”
Wang Ziying’s eyes bulged wide open, bloodshot and almost bursting.
Immediately, he gasped for breath and went into hysterics. “Hahaha, you are still alive! The heavens are blind to let a scourge like you come back to life!”
He seemed to have lost control of his emotions as he stared at Lin Xun resentfully. “But so what? Even if you are alive, you will be killed by Underworld Son. Right, Ancient Buddha Son also will not let you off!”
Lin Xun was expressionless.
“Look at you, you have been dead for four years and can’t even protect your woman. How pitiful is that? What a shame. If you hadn’t appeared, that woman would have been captured by us and subjected to all sorts of humiliation and torture...”
Wang Ziying looked dejected again.
He had indeed become deranged.
Crack!
The next moment, Wang Ziying’s neck snapped. Even at death, he had a sinister, demented look on his face.
Lin Xun turned around and did not glance at him again.
In the distance, there were signs of destruction everywhere. The fences had toppled, the medicinal garden was in disarray, and the flower fields had all withered. Even the thatched cottage had collapsed.
It could be imagined that in the past four years, this place was quiet and peaceful and she had been persistently waiting.
She…
She must, like before, thought that he would never be defeated...and of also course never be killed!
He looked over the place again and looked at the beautiful figure sitting silently without a flicker of movement.
He saw the tranquil expression and affection in her eyes as she gazed at the Nine Dragons Cauldron.
He stared at her slim and breathtakingly beautiful face...
Lin Xun felt a lump in his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
“Jingxuan!”
He rushed forward and wrapped his arms tightly around the beautiful figure, an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.
Before he came to the Supreme Realm, he had gone to the Spirit Treasure Holy Land to invite Zhao Jingxuan to join him, but unexpectedly he was a step too late.
Then, he was hopeful that they would meet again in the Supreme Realm.
But who would have thought that they would be reunited in such a way after so many years?
“Nothing will happen to you, absolutely not...I, Lin Xun, will not let anything happen! No one can take you away from me!”
Lin Xun hugged Zhao Jingxuan’s warm and soft body fiercely and repeatedly took several deep breaths to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart. Only then could he focus all his thoughts on the beautiful woman, checking and examining her condition.
