Lin Xun!
Many people in the audience were shocked to see that Lin Xun actually had the courage to battle. They had to admire him for that. At least in terms of courage, Lin Xun was worthy of their respect.
However, a hint of a gloating smile touched most peopleâs lips when they saw him appear. They felt he was just going to bring humiliation to himself.
Gazes of pity, disdain, contempt and ridicule fell on Lin Xun like a huge net.
Amidst those countless gazes, Lin Xun indifferently stepped onto the platform. His figure was slender and graceful. Clad in a bright white robe and with his jet black hair loosely tied behind, he exuded a calm aura and looked like he was taking a stroll around a courtyard.
It was many peopleâs first time seeing Lin Xun, but his extraordinary bearing surprised them.
A flash of realization struck them. If Hua Wuyouâs opponent is too weak, it wouldnât be a good match to watch.
Only if Lin Xun was strong would they see Hua Wuyouâs truly remarkable abilities.
Of course, even so, many people still werenât optimistic about his situation. They only hoped that he wouldnât be too weak.
In one of the box seats, Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Ye Xiaoqi and Gong Ming sat together, watching Lin Xun come onto the platform.
âTo be honest, Iâm really worried for him,â Shi Yu sighed.
âMe too,â Ning Meng agreed, his expression grim. âAlthough Hua Wuyou is obnoxious, she is indeed very strong.â
Although Gong Ming and Ye Xiaoqi hadnât said a word, their expressions were just as nervous as Shi Yu and Ning Meng.
At that moment, an old man walked into the box seat and said in a low voice, âYoung Master, I have investigated, other than the Qin and Hanliang Families, influential figures from the other five clans have come to watch the duel in the Sky Martial Arena.â
âIn addition, there are countless people from mid- and low-level aristocratic clans.â
âIâm certain that Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin have also come. There are also some powerful and fierce characters from Qinglu Academy.â
âBecause so many different clans and sects have come to watch the battle, itâs hard to know whether they are here for Hua Wuyou or Young Master Lin Xun.â
Shi Yuâs expression remained unchanged. He had already predicted the answer. After all, there were too many cultivators present in Sky Martial Arena, and many of them were young descendants of aristocratic clans. It was no doubt difficult to find out why they came.
However, the old manâs next sentence made Shi Yu narrow his eyes.
âI should also mention that I heard an influential person from the imperial family also came!â
Shi Yu trembled inwardly. The battle even attracted the attention of the imperial family?
âI knew this matter wasnât that simple!â
Shi Yuâs eyes lit up. âItâs just a match between two people of the younger generation. How can it attract the attention of so many clans? The reason has to be related to Lin Xun!â
Ning Meng couldnât help but ask, âWhat do you mean?â
The old man had already quietly left.
âEveryone in the world thinks that Lin Xun angered the Song and Hua families in one night. They think he is fearless and has a death wish, but they donât know that Lin Xun has already become enemies with the Chi Family before he came to the Forbidden City!â There was a deep look in Shi Yuâs eyes.
âI have been wondering why the Chi Family suddenly stopped attacking Lin Xun after he came to the Forbidden City but, after looking at the situation now, I realize that there are many hidden secrets behind this.â
âAnd these hidden secrets have to be related to Lin Xun. After all, Hua Wuyou wouldnât attract the attention of so many people no matter how dazzling she is.â
After hearing Shi Yuâs analysis, Ning Meng, Gong Ming and Ye Xiaoqi were a little bewildered that there were so many unknowns behind the duel.
â¦â¦
Lin Xun came to a stop around ten feet away from Hua Wuyou.
âIâm a little surprised that you dare to come to fight. But if you don't, you will not only destroy yourself but also everything you have. You made a wise choice,â said Hua Wuyou indifferently.
Her bright eyes were biting-cold as she locked them on Lin Xun, and her overbearing presence exuded a deterring power. Her gaze would have made many other cultivators scared out of their wits and collapse on the ground. However, Lin Xun didnât seem affected in any way. âDid you arrange the duel to spew such nonsense?â
He seemed very rude.
Some of the more sensitive cultivators couldn't help but smack their lips together. Does Lin Xun not want to live anymore? He is so fearless! Is he not afraid of infuriating Hua Wuyou?
The commotion in the arena subsided, and everyone was intently watching Lin Xunâs and Hua Wuyouâs every move.
However, Hua Wuyouâs expression remained unchanged as she said nonchalantly, âItâs clear that youâre prepared to die. This proves that youâre not stupid. To tell you the truth, I have no intention of letting you leave here alive.â
Everyone in the audience inhaled sharply. They knew Hua Wuyou would absolutely do what she said!
Shi Yu, Ning Meng and the others turned ashen-faced. It would be troublesome if Hua Wuyou intended to kill Lin Xun!
The faces of Lin Tianlong, Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu grew overcast. They didnât want Lin Xun to be killed as it wouldnât benefit them in taking charge of Mind Cleansing Peak in any way. After all, if Lin Xun died, the imperial family would take back control of Mind Cleansing Peak, and the collateral branches of the Lin Clan wouldnât be able to return to Mind Cleansing Peak.
âSo, this duel is a battle of life and death. Either you die or I die.â Hua Wuyouâs voice was chilling.
From the beginning to the end, there wasnât a ripple of emotion on her face. It was as though she was staring at a dead person.
âBattle of life and death?â Although Lin Xun was surprised, he couldnât help laughing in his heart. Does Hua Wuyou think she can win against me?
âYou didnât think that I went to such great lengths to challenge you to a battle here just to give you a beating?â Hua Wuyouâs bright eyes were filled with malice. âDonât think that luck will be on your side. No one who has angered my Hua Family can continue to live in the world! You can only atone for your sins with death.â
Everyone knew that Hua Wuyou was determined to kill in the duel! Many people looked at Lin Xun with pity.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun grinned, looking pleased. âThatâs good.â
Many people couldnât help but wonder whether he was truly confident or if he had given up all hopes because he knew he would die.
âHahaha, Lin Xun, you deserve it!â
In a box seat, Hua Wuhen laughed sinisterly. Lin Xun had violently beat him up on the street and made him lose all face. He would never be able to raise his head again if Lin Xun was alive.
It would no longer be a problem if Hua Wuyou managed to kill Lin Xun for him.
âJust you wait, after killing you, I will destroy Lin Xuefeng to vent my anger!â Hua Wuhen gritted his teeth, looking sinister.
âStop talking nonsense. Letâs start the battle.â
In the arena, a sky blue glow shrouded Lin Xun while his robe billowed around him and his aura changed. It now had an indomitable and superior spirit.
Many peopleâs eyes lit up. That aura...isnât something that ordinary Spirit Sea cultivators can possess. Although the kid is haughty, his background isnât bad.
âSince youâre in a hurry to seek death, I will fulfill your wishâ
Her indifferent voice echoed as her fiery red figure flashed. She soared and drew her slender and fair fingers across the air.
Sssssi!
A shower of blood-red flowers rained down, fluttering in the air, and dying it a gorgeous red hue.
âSpirit Obliteration Flower Rain Art! One of the six great cultivation arts of the Hua Clan!â
The audience gasped. They didnât expect Hua Wuyou to launch a killing move right away.
The rain of flowers in the sky looked soft and gentle, but it produced a destructive power upon contact and caused irreparable damage to oneâs spirit.
Evidently, Hua Wuyou didnât want to waste time or give Lin Xun even a chance to struggle! After all, so many people were watching the battle. The longer the battle dragged out, the more shameful it felt to Hua Wuyou!
Rumbleâ
Flowers drifted in the air, making it look like blood had washed the sky. It was beautiful, charming, but filled with endless murderous spirit.
However, Lin Xun didnât dodge or evade her attack. His body erupted with thousand wisps of pale blue light. They rapidly burrowed into his fist before he punched out with explosive force.
Sea Splitting Destruction!
The fist power was as powerful as a tsunami as it crushed the void and pulverized the flowers that filled the sky.
Everyone was stunned into silence. What fist art is that? How can it be so strong to dissolve the Spirit Obliteration Flower Rain Art?
It seems like Lin Xun is quite capable.
âHmph!â
A cold glint flashed in Hua Wuyouâs eyes. Her silky hair danced in the air, and a murderous look crossed her face. Her slender and fair hand streaked across the air again.
A delicate flower bloomed in the air like a drop of blood. Its beauty was breathtaking, but it seemed capable of seizing oneâs spirit. Many cultivators fell into a trance-like state, affected by the power of the move.
Lin Xun had lit up seven hundred and twenty spirit stars in his mind-sea. His spirit had long been tempered to a terrifyingly sturdy state. How would he be affected by it?
Calmly, he leapt up and performed the Soul Shattering Destruction.
Boom!
Who would have thought that before the fist neared the flower, the beautiful flower ruptured and shot out a splash of red that instantly engulfed the area?
It was as though a sea of blood was about to drown the world!
It was the Mirror Flower Blood Sea, one of the ultimate moves of the Spirit Obliteration Flower Rain Art. The flower was like a mirror of illusions, containing endless murderous spirits!
Instantly, Lin Xun trembled all over and then a scorching and terrifying force slammed into him until he was stumbling back.
Everyone gasped. Has Lin Xun been defeated already?
Shi Yu, Ning Meng, and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats, and their bodies tensed.
