Chapter 1503 Surrounded By Enemies
Bang!
As the iron rod in the hand swung downwards, the head of the last enemy exploded like a smashed watermelon, and blood splattered everywhere.
The body slumped to the ground.
Scarlet blood was reflected in Le Mujin’s eyes. He licked the corners of his lips unenthusiastically.
Le Mujin.
A descendant of the Hawk Kite Demon Clan, one of the ten major clans of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, and also a peerless figure at the supreme ninth longevity tribulation stage.
He had long pale green hair, a tall and slim figure, and a gentle and handsome face. He looked harmless in appearance, but in truth, he had the most ruthless nature.
“Those two-legged sheep from the Ancient Wasteland Domain are too weak...” he sighed.
In front of him hundreds of mangled corpses lay on the blood-soaked ground. Each one, whether male or female, had their head brutally smashed.
Not far away, a woman in red from the Hawk Kite Demon Clan said respectfully, “Young Master, it’s not that they are too weak, but you are too strong.”
Le Mujin laughed, “It’s boring, isn’t it? It’s our first day on the Nine Domains Battlefield. I thought we would encounter some formidable opponents, but I just had to deal with a bunch of trash.”
The woman in red said respectfully, “This proves that over the years, the Ancient Wasteland Domain has truly been deteriorating.”
After a pause, she continued, “Young Master, if everything went as planned, everyone from our Blood Demon Ancient Domain should be meeting up in the City of Protection now. Should we...also head there now?”
Le Mujin snorted coldly, “I don’t want to be ordered about by Xue Qingyi!”
Xue Qingyi!
He was regarded as the number one supreme figure on the longevity path of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, and he was a legendary leading figure from the Primordial Demon Sect.
He was also one of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes!
The Azure Blue Eight Supremes were the eight apex figures of the eight domains apart from the Ancient Wasteland Domain. They were the strongest supreme figures of their respective domain.
This title showed how strong Xue Qingyi was.
The woman in red was silent for a rare moment, before she said aloud, “Young Master, in the Nine Domains Battlefield, the Azure Blue Eight Supremes are basically the leaders of each area. Even the supreme Saints have to obey their orders.
“Whether you like it or not, you have to admit that in the Blood Demon Territory, Xue Qingyi is the person in charge of our Blood Demon Ancient Domain camp.”
PA!
The moment she finished speaking, she suffered a hard slap across her face.
Le Mujin said with an overcasted face, “Do you think I don’t know; do I need you to remind me?”
The woman in red kept quiet.
Le Mujin inhaled deeply and was about to say something.
Swoosh!
At that moment, a golden arc of light streaked across the sky.
It startled Le Mujin at first, and then he smiled. “We are in the Blood Demon Territory, the territory of our Blood Demon Ancient Domain. I can’t believe the Golden Demon Snake Clan actually sent out a request for help. Do they not feel embarrassed? If their Chosen She Lin finds out about this, I bet he will fly into a rage.”
The woman in red was no longer silent, but analyzed out loud, “The request for help seems to be sent from the Spirit Refinement Forest. It suggests that the experts from the Golden Demon Snake Clan encountered an extremely tricky opponent or perhaps grave danger. But all this has nothing you do with you, Young Master.”
“No, what do you mean it has nothing to do with me?” Le Mujin spoke in a leisurely manner, “In the Nine Domains Battlefield, we all belong to the same camp. Since my friends from the Golden Demon Snake Clan are in a predicament and I know about it, how can I stand aside and not do anything to save them?
“Let’s go take a look.”
With a flash, he disappeared into the distance.
The woman in red sighed to herself. She knew that Le Mujin was just looking for an excuse to not head to the City of Protection right away.
......
The Spirit Refinement Forest.
Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged by the roots of a tremendous tree, staring quietly at the Broken Blade hovering in front of him. A dao rune forbidden array had been set up around him.
The spirit refinement treasure source he had collected before had all been absorbed into the Broken Blade drop by drop, which triggered it to undergo a visible change.
The surface of the gorgeous and illusory snow-white blade was flashing with wisps of twisting dao runes. They constantly spread across the blade like earthworms surfacing from the ground.
It was the third dao rune array!
It was not its complete form, and only half was visible so far, but vaguely, those complex dao runes were forming the outline of an ancient character.
Previously, two dao rune arrays had surfaced from the Broken Blade, allowing Lin Xun to obtain the two powers of the Yuan Word Inheritance and the Extreme Word Inheritance.
And now, the third was finally peeking out from the surface!
“I wonder how amazing the third inheritance is...” Lin Xun’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
However, the dao rune array only formed halfway across the blade when the transformation ended leaving Lin Xun staring speechlessly at it for a good while.
“It seems like I have to collect more spirit refinement treasure source...” he sighed.
However, he was looking forward to seeing what the third inheritance of the Broken Blade would be.
Swoosh!
The sound of air splitting startled Lin Xun who was hiding inside the dao rune forbidden array.
“It was She Meng from the Golden Demon Snake Clan who sent out the request for help. According to him, a guy from the Ancient Wasteland Domain had taken out his entire group.”
“No way, could it be that a Saint from the Ancient Wasteland Domain was teleported to our Blood Demon Territory when he entered the Nine Domains Battlefield?”
“He’s not a Saint. According to She Meng’s speculation, the opponent is a supreme figure and is adept in stealth.”
The voices sounded closer and closer.
It was a group of experts with distinctly different appearances. There were men and women, and they were clearly from different clans, but their auras were all quite powerful.
From one glance, Lin Xun could tell that the group was all supreme figures, though their cultivation level was slightly inferior to his!
Lin Xun sighed to himself. Compared with the other eight domains, the foundation of the Ancient Wasteland Domain is indeed rather awful, so we are inherently at a disadvantage.
“Everyone, be careful. Since that guy is skilled at sneaking around and hiding, and we are in this bizarre and unpredictable forest, it won’t be easy to deal with him.”
“It will be fine. We are not the only ones who came as reinforcements. Even if we are up against a Saint from the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he will still definitely die!”
“Yes, this is the territory of our Blood Demon Ancient Domain. How can we allow trash from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to run wild?”
While the group was conversing, they passed by the area where Lin Xun was hiding. From the beginning to the end, they did not notice a trace of the target they were pursuing and just left.
“How troublesome!” Lin Xun scrunched his brows.
He did not expect the experts from the Golden Demon Snake Clan to actually send out a reinforcement request that attracted so many people into the forest.
For Lin Xun, the smartest decision would be to flee the forest that was surrounded with dangers and murderous intent.
But he did not do so.
He was in the Blood Demon Territory, an area controlled by the Blood Demon Ancient Domain camp. Even if he left the forest right away, as long as he left behind a trace, it would lead to endless troubles.
It was better to stay in this Spirit Refinement Forest. It might be a dangerous and eerie place, but it also provided him with many hiding spots.
At the same time, he could take advantage of the complicated environment and his stealth and sniping technique to hunt down as many enemies as possible!
Swoosh!
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, he immediately sprung into action and quietly caught up with the group of experts who just passed by.
His body became invisible under the cover of Suanni Qi, and his aura was also completely concealed.
“I heard that the younger sister of Chosen She Lin of the Golden Demon Snaken Clan was also killed by the guy from the Ancient Wasteland Domain. If She Lin finds out about this, I wonder how he would react.”
The cultivators chatted and laughed.
There were more than ten of them traveling together, so they were not particularly worried about running into danger.
Subconsciously, they did not think that the enemy would be so stupid to jump out and fight them to the death.
“I don’t know how She Lin would react, but I do know that the guy from the Ancient Wasteland Domain will die an ugly death.” A youngster in blue laughed.
“Is that right?” Lin Xun appeared out of nowhere and stared at the youngster with his cold dark eyes.
“You...” The young man trembled but before he could say anything, his head was severed by a blade whiter than snow.
The others subconsciously launched into attacking mode. Their reaction speeds were not slow at all. It was obvious that they were experienced in battles.
Unfortunately for them, their opponent was Lin Xun.
Following a clear cry, the Broken Blade flew into the air, slashed across the battlefield and flashed endlessly, displaying the wonders of the Heavenly Yuan Six Slashes.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Instantly, blood jetted everywhere, broken limbs flung across the battlefield, and treasures were destroyed and smashed.
Lin Xun’s figure wandered around as if he was taking a stroll in a garden.
In exactly ten breaths.
It was a scene of carnage and not a single soul remained!
Lin Xun’s Ancient Wasteland Badge gained some battle merits.
He quickly and skilfully organized the spoils and disappeared.
Not long after that, piercing sounds from every direction disturbed the air. An unknown number of experts had been alarmed by the battle and were rushing over.
When they saw the traces of the bloody battle, many were chilled to the bone.
“A tough character!”
Anyone who arrived at the scene came to the same conclusion.
Meanwhile, Lin Xun was hiding in the shadows not far away, observing quietly, not a ripple of expression in his ice-cold eyes.
But his heart felt a little heavy.
He had only slaughtered the experts from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain just now to test how many enemies had gathered in the Spirit Refinement Forest.
Now that he saw it for himself, he realized the situation was more serious than he thought!
“Fortunately, only four Saints have appeared so far. Although there are many other enemies, they were at most supreme figures at the ninth longevity tribulation stage...”
Lin Xun analyzed in his mind.
However, if the situation continued, more and more enemies would be drawn over, and it was very likely that a supreme Saint would soon be alerted.
Moreover, Lin Xun could not stay in the forest for the rest of his life.
“I should collect some spirit refinement treasure source first, and once I have enough for the third inheritance of the Broken Blade to appear, I shall leave here right away!” Lin Xun decided after some pondering.
However, just when he was about to take action, he noticed a black wasp the size of a thumb crawling on a patch of grass not far away. Its body was ink-black and dull, as inconspicuous as a black stone.
But Lin Xun immediately narrowed his dark eyes.
