Chapter 457: Chapter 457

At the entrance of Treasure Drop Blood Plain, crowds of people were rushing in the same direction as though they would be trapped and killed if they were too slow.

In the past, every time Treasure Drop Blood Plain closed, cultivators would be trapped inside and die.

Therefore, no one dared to stay any longer.

Including Lin Xun and Lian Dieyi. They bolted for the exit.

Shua!

However, just as they stepped out of the exit, a spear enveloped in divine powers shot toward Lian Dieyi.

Rumble—

However, Lian Dieyi acted as if she had expected it. She drew her beautiful hand across the air and launched a ray of rainbow-colored light to dissolve the blow. Then, she sped to the other side with a flash.

There were too many cultivators around her. She was worried that others would be wounded if a battle broke out and that she wouldn’t be able to unleash her full powers.

“Little handsome guy, this way!”

Lian Dieyi called Lin Xun as she bolted ahead.

“You want to leave? Think again!”

Following a roar, another spear flickered brightly in the air. Within seconds, thousands of spear shadows filled the sky, enveloping both Lian Dieyi and Lin Xun.

A man in golden armor with a stern and murderous expression appeared. His mighty power circulated him like the rays of the rising sun.

It was Bai Yu, the descendant of the Demon Suppressor Family!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Xun had planned to part ways with Lian Dieyi once they left Treasure Drop Blood Plain, but he had never expected an ambush to occur the moment they stepped out of it.

His face grew overcast, and he slammed his fist forward.

The spear shadows crumbled and scattered like a rain of light.

At the same time, rainbow-colored mist gathered around Lian Dieyi’s body. She opened her beautiful hand and released a beam of light and blasted Bai Yu back.

Swoosh—

She continued to speed away with Lin Xun.

“Leave behind your treasure, and I will spare your life!”

A graceful figure emerged on the path ahead. She was a transcendental beauty like a fairy. Pale blue lightning flashed between her fair hands and fingers.

Ling Zinuo, the descendant of Cloud Jade Sky Mountain!

Lian Dieyi rushed to the other side, her expression changing.

“Little handsome guy, they have long planned to intercept us here. Please help me get out of here, and l will promise to share the Luohou secret treasure with you!” Lian Dieyi passed a voice message to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun knew that the ambush was directed at Lian Dieyi.

He hesitated. He didn’t want to tread into muddy water again.

However, before he could refuse, Bai Yu was already charging toward him again like the god of war. His golden armor erupted in a blaze of light, and his spear flashed like lightning. His might was unrivaled.

Boom!

Lian Dieyi transformed the rainbow cloud in her hand into a mighty waterfall and fended off Bai Yu.

“Little handsome guy, hurry up! If they surround us, neither of us can leave this place!” Lian Diyi urged anxiously.

“I…”

Just as Lin Xun opened his mouth to say something, an ancient sword cut through the air, producing a dragon-like roar that stung everyone’s eardrums. Dazzling light bloomed around it as it thrust straight toward him with murderous intent.

Lin Xun’s face darkened. He was reluctant to battle, but the attackers treated him as a comrade of Lian Dieyi and attempted to kill him.

Boom!

Lin Xun’s body exploded like a furnace. A pale azure glow cloaked his entire body as he smashed his fist into the ancient sword.

There was a metallic ring as the two collided. The ancient sword buzzed and vibrated and failed to wound Lin Xun.

A surprised chuckle sounded in the distance before a handsome youngster in a Daoist robe sped towards him.

Yun Ke, the descendant of Spirit Yuan Sword Sect!

“Demon girl, let’s see if you can escape this time!”

Almost at the same time, another roar stirred the clouds. A black-robed youngster appeared like an ape god, murderous intent rising from his body. It was Yuan Zhan, the descendant of the Blood Divine Sect.

On the other side, Tie Qianhan, the descendant of the Solitary Star Sect, strode forward. His figure was as mighty as a mountain with an iron rod resting on his shoulders.

In addition, there were other ancient sect descendants just as remarkable as Ling Zinuo, Yun Ke, Bai Yu, Yuan Zhan and the others.

The atmosphere suddenly turned terrifying and tense.

Countless cultivators would have gathered in the area after escaping from Treasure Drop Blood Plain, but once the fight broke out, many people quickly moved away and left a wide open area.

This was because everyone knew that the battle wasn’t ordinary. The attackers were all top peerless geniuses with terrifying backgrounds.

Although they hadn’t quite joined forces, their target was all Lian Dieyi, the descendant of the Thousand Transformation Land.

They knew that she had done something in Treasure Drop Blood Plain to receive such treatment.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the person traveling with Lian Dieyi was also dragged into the attack.

It was a handsome young man with deep black eyes and an extraordinary demeanor. However, he looked unfamiliar to everyone.

Naturally, the young man was Lin Xun, but no one was able to recognize him because they previously only saw his tragic and ruthless appearance. His clothes had been torn and stained with blood.

However, Lin Xun had formed a new complete Origin Aeth Artery and made a complete transformation. He looked radiant and glowing especially after he changed into a set of clean clothes.

Fighting broke out, and it was a scene of utter chaos. Cultivators frantically darted away from the battles.

Lin Xun was in a visibly bad mood. A group of unfamiliar people had ambushed him the moment he stepped out of Treasure Drop Blood plain and didn’t allow him a chance to explain.

How would he not be furious? Moreover, the attackers were ruthless and determined to kill.

Did they think that Lin Xun was an easy target to bully?

“Enough!”

Lin Xun performed the Nine Heavenshaking Destruction Art, combining the power of four destructions into his fist to crush all the incoming attacks.

“When did I ever provoke you all? How dare you attack me!”

Lin Xun’s jet-black eyes glinted coldly as he scanned the audience. He was oozing superiority and contempt like he could devour the sky.

His power shocked many cultivators. That guy is so strong!

“You are traveling with that demon girl so you also deserve to be killed!”

Little Killing God Bai Yu snorted, exuding a threatening murderous aura. He saw Lin Xun as prey.

As he was speaking, his spear danced in the air and swung down with supreme power. It shattered the surrounding space and chilled everyone.

“It’s your fault for being friends with the demon girl. Even if you die, you can’t blame anyone!”

On the other side, Yuan Zhan sneered coldly. His figure was swirling with murderous rage and the strength of his fist was increased. He resembled an ape demon.

Many people surrounded Lin Xun. Besides the two, there were descendants of other ancient sects. All of them were filled with killing intent.

Lian Dieyi’s situation was just as bad as Lin Xun’s.

Looking down from a height, powerful peerless figures had surrounded the two from all directions.

Other cultivators would have been slaughtered on the spot. They were outnumbered and their chances of winning were very slim.

Rumble—

The area vibrated as all sorts of colorful light beams crisscrossed in the air.

The ground split and quaked, and the huge boulders crumbled into dust.

Soon, Lian Dieyi’s pretty face turned deathly pale. Ling Zinuo’s blue thunderbolt had pierced her shoulder and shot blood everywhere.

Everyone could tell that Lian Dieyi would soon be killed without even the chance to counterattack.

Similarly, the teenager traveling with her was also doomed as it was impossible to survive under the attacks of so many top genius cultivators.

Lian Dieyi’s injury only deepened Lin Xun’s murderous intent. He knew that it wouldn’t end well for them if he didn’t show his true powers!

It was at that moment when Lian Dieyi suddenly cried out, “Little handsome guy, didn’t you want to investigate Luohou's secret treasure? Take it and run.”

She tossed a sparkling white horn toward Lin Xun.

Luohou’s secret treasure!

Everyone’s eyes gleamed covetously as their breathing turned rapid. They finally understood the reason why Lian Dieyihad been encircled. It turned out that she had obtained the Luohou Monster-Beast King‘s inheritance in Treasure Drop Blood Plain!

All the geniuses encircling Lian Dieyi were a little surprised that she would give up on Luohou's secret treasure on her own initiative.

They knew the horn wasn’t a fake because its aura was obscure and cryptic. The horn had to belong to Luohou Monster-Beast King!

However, when Lin Xun caught the white horn with his hands, his heart sank as he realized that something was wrong.

Even if that woman wants to give this treasure to me, she doesn’t need to announce it to the world…

“Boy, hand over the treasure!”

“It seems that the relationship between that kid and the demon girl isn’t that simple.”

“Let’s kill the boy first!”

Ling Zinuo, Tie Qianhan and Yun Ke, who had originally attacked Lian Dieyi, all shifted their target to Lin Xun.

Rumble!

The battle continued, but the attacks were concentrated on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun’s pressure suddenly increased sharply. He finally realized that Lian Dieyi was pushing him into the pit!

“Everyone, I already gave up the secret treasure. If you continue to chase after me then don’t blame me if you’re killed!”

Lian Dieyi transformed into a streak of dazzling colorful light and pierced a hole into the fabric of space before escaping.

Some people wanted to follow her, but they finally held back because the Luohou secret treasure had been handed to Lin Xun. It wasn’t worth hunting down Lian Dieyi and killing her anymore.

Although they were annoyed that Lian Dieyi managed to escape, they decided it was best to remain behind to deal with Lin Xun first.

“Little handsome guy, I’m sorry but I have to do this to save my life. I have given you the secret treasure of Luohou so please don’t hate me if you die.”

Lian Dieyi’s laughter echoed in the distance like a bell, charming and complacent.

I have been tricked!

Lin Xun sighed inwardly. He had long known that she shouldn’t be messed with, but he didn’t expect her to be so cunning and deceitful.

“Are you sure? Don’t you want Luohou’s inheritance?” Lin Xun’s voice resounded like a clap of thunder.

Lian Dieyi replied with a chuckle through a voice transmission, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Luohou secret treasure is a treasure map and not an inheritance art. I have already memorized it. Unfortunately, those guys won’t believe me, so...you have to suffer instead. Of course, you can also give it to them and perhaps you can exchange it for your life.”

“Why did you push me into the pit instead of choosing someone else?” Lin Xun hissed through gritted teeth, feeling aggrieved.

“Well, it’s very simple. Do you remember when you refused to work with me? Women hold grudges the most.”

Lian Dieyi chuckled softly, her voice charming but smug,

Soon, she vanished.

Lin Xun’s face darkened. Did she trick me because of that rejection? She is so cruel and vengeful!

However, he had no time to care about that anymore. He was under attack from all directions!

Moreover, the attackers were all so-called genius cultivators with unfathomable powers.

“We must kill him and take the Luohou secret treasure!
