Hiss!
Audible gasps rang out in rapid succession. All cultivators stood in shocked disbelief.
The young demon god is too fierce! He destroyed a divine demon shadow with just one punch!
He is a freak!
Many cultivators had the same thought.
However, another shocking incident broke out on the great mountain before they recovered from the shock.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just as Wen Xiang was tragically defeated, thousands of figures emerged around Lin Xun.
Every figure was identical to Gong Yangyu. They had the appearance of a peerless sword cultivator and exuded fierce, overwhelming auras.
Myriad Apparitions Art!
Although Lin Xun was unaware of the art’s origin and background, he had experienced it in person before and he knew that it was Gong Yangyu’s trump card.
He could multiply into thousands and millions of figures and make it impossible for a cultivator to distinguish between the real body and the apparitions with just the naked eye and perception. It was an unpredictable and peerless cultivation art.
Chi!
Rays of fierce sword intent crisscrossed across the sky like a shower of swords flying in all directions to kill Lin Xun.
The cultivators of all clans felt numb at the sight. If it were them, they likely wouldn’t know how to dodge the multiple attacks.
There were far too many beams of sword intent. It was as though thousands of unrivaled swordsmen were attacking at the same time.
Rumble!
Lin Xun’s dark eyes glinted coldly in the face of such a terrifying attack. Without the slightest hesitation, he performed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, clasped the Broken Blade and fearlessly struck back.
Blade qi swept the area like starlight, shattering an unknown number of sword intent and destroying an unknown number of figures.
The most terrifying thing was that the figures re-formed just as they were destroyed and continued to surround and attack Lin Xun.
There seemed to be no end.
From the beginning to the end, no one could tell which of the figures was the real Gong Yangyu. That was the terror of the Myriad Apparitions Art.
Sword qi shrouded the world like rain, and thousands of figures attacked Lin Xun from all directions.
Even the cultivators watching from afar had to admit that the art was a wonderful art that surpassed the ancient and present cultivation arts!
However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun remained as calm as tranquil snow and continued to fight fiercely. They could tell that he wasn’t struggling or fighting desperately, but they couldn’t understand how he could win the duel given the desperate situation. He couldn’t even identify the real body of his opponent.
Su Xingfeng wiped away the bloodstains on the corner of his lips, waiting for Lin Xun’s defeat with the coldest and cruelest expression.
In truth, his emotions were incredibly complicated. Previously, he always thought that Xiao Ran was the one who had obtained the Myriad Apparitions Art, so he was always extremely jealous of Xiao Ran.
Who would have thought that Gong Yangyu was the one lying low?
How could Su Xingfeng not feel chilled to the core when he learned of that fact? He had always thought that he was superior in terms of shrewdness and scheming.
It turned out that both Xiao Ran and Gong Yangyu were better than him in those respects!
“Fortunately, I haven’t offended Gong Yangyu before. Otherwise, I would have made an extremely tough enemy…” Su Xingfeng sighed. Even he had to admit that Gong Yangyu was extremely amazing to be able to suppress Lin Xun.
Meanwhile, Wen Xiang got up from the ground, his young and soft face twisting in a fierce and furious expression. He was waiting for an opportunity to kill Lin Xun in one strike the moment he couldn’t endure any longer!
“Kid, you must hold on!”
Toady screamed incessantly as he bolted for his life. He had already been injured several times, most of which by Yun Che’s sword.
Undoubtedly, Toady was very tenacious. Even though he was repeatedly wounded, he was still leaping about and hadn’t collapsed.
Yun Che was infuriated by his tenacity, but there was nothing he could do. He had never seen such a freak. He was like a cockroach that couldn’t be killed.
“Lin Xuan, I said before that you will die when we meet again. Now that everything has come to the surface, it’s over for you!” Gong Yangyu’s elegant voice rang from all directions.
He had formed thousands of apparitions. He seemed to not exist at all or seemed to be everywhere. The situation would make anyone despair.
“Is that right?”
Suddenly, Lin Xun, whom everyone thought had been subdued, soared into the air with Broken Blade and broke through the encirclement!
Then, he stepped forward in the air and headed in one direction.
“Idiot, I’m here!” Gong Yangyu’s mocking voice rang out.
However, Lin Xun never shifted his focus once as though he had locked onto a target. He swung Broken Blade up and made multiple slashing strokes as he charged forward.
“Haha, you can’t see through the illusion unless you are a Life Death Stage King. No one else can break my Myriad Apparitions.”
“You are just wasting your efforts. You can’t even find my real body. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
“One refuses to give up until they are faced with the grim reality.”
Gong Yangyu’s mocking voice echoed everywhere.
The cultivators of the other clans felt more and more terrified. Is it impossible to beat the secret cultivation art?
Boom!
Lin Xun abruptly halted in the air and suddenly changed direction, speeding towards the other side.
Buzz—
Broken Blade produced an excited cry before Lin Xun launched the Burning Sun.
“You... discovered it?!” A panicked cry rang out in the direction of Lin Xun’s attack.
It was from Gong Yangyu’s real body!
But it was too late for him to evade the attack.
Boom!
A huge blazing sun darted out from Broken Blade, producing splendid light and illuminating the world!
The terrifying power of destruction disintegrated thousands of figures as it swept the area. At the same time, Gong Yangyu screamed in anguish and flew across the air.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and blood was dripping all over his body. He looked seriously injured and on the verge of death. He slammed into the ground and seemed unable to get up!
Everyone was shocked into silence.
“The Myriad Apparitions Art has been broken...How is that possible?!” Su Xingfeng’s face paled with horror.
“Impossible, how could he be so strong?”
Wen Xiang froze to the spot as though he had fallen into an ice cave.
No one thought that Lin Xun could severely wound Gong Yangyu, who had a firm upper hand!
Could it be a coincidence or had he seen through the flaws in the secret art?
No one knew!
Only Lin Xun did. He might not be able to see through the illusion and distinguish the thousands of figures, but he had the means to find Gong Yangyu’s true body.
The God Devourer Insects!
They specialized in devouring spirits, so they could instantly identify which figure contained Gong Yangyu’s spirit.
That one had to be the real Gong Yangyu!
“Impossible, how did you do that?!”
Gong Yangyu coughed up blood on the ground, his face ashen and he had lost his usual elegance. He looked like a miserably injured beggar.
Lin Xun responded with a merciless attack. How would he waste time talking to him now?
Clang!
Lin Xun resembled a demon god as Broken Blade slashed through the sky. He had no intention of giving Gong Yangyu any chance of survival.
Both Su Xingfeng and Wen Xiang had recovered from the shock and hurried forward to help.
But they were defeated within seconds.
At that moment, Lin Xun’s imposing bearing was soaring, stirring the clouds and wind. He seemed invincible!
Gong Yangyu did everything he could to evade and flee, but Lin Xun severed his head with one slash and stained the blue sky.
Everyone trembled inwardly. He’s too strong!
Who would have thought that the young demon god would survive the joint attacks of several top geniuses and reverse the situation?
Strangely, Gong Yangyu’s body turned into a shower of light as it exploded and took everyone aback. Is that his real body?
Only Lin Xun frowned because he knew that it was Gong Yangyu’s real body, but he had activated the Golden Cicada Talisman just as he was about to die and managed to escape death.
As expected, Gong Yangyu’s figure reappeared not far away, only that his face was deathly pale and still looked heavily wounded.
“Run!”
Afar, sensing the unfavorable situation, Su Xingfeng and Wen Xiang grabbed Gong Yangyu, turned around and fled down the mountain.
“Do you want to run? It won’t be that easy!”
Lin Xun’s face darkened. He took out the No-Nonsense Bow and pulled the bowstring fully back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of silent aeth arrows launched into the air!
Pu!
Although Su Xingfeng tried his best to dodge, an arrow pierced his back and triggered an explosion.
It was only a pity that Su Xingfeng had also activated the Golden Cicada Talisman and escaped with Wen Xiang in the end.
However, although Gong Yangyu managed to escape death in the end with the help of the Golden Cicada Talisman, he had to flee in a severely injured state.
Unfortunately for him, he was again struck by the No-Nonsense Bow and was reduced to a cloud of blood mis, dying without a trace.
Even so, Lin Xun’s heart was burning with hatred. Just as he was about to chase after Su Xingfeng and Wen Xiang, Toady let out a strange cry, “It’s over, I can’t hold on any longer!”
He turned his head to see Toady soaking in blood and staggering. He was on the verge of collapsing from Yun Che’s relentless attacks.
Lin Xun immediately abandoned everything else to rescue Toady.
“Hmph!” Yun Che grunted coldly and also decisively turned around and fled.
“Stop chasing, Miss Zhao is still inside!” Toady reminded Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s expression changed. Although the battle didn’t last long, it had created a huge disturbance.
Logically speaking, Xiao Ran and Zhao Jingxuan should have been alarmed, but the two still hadn’t shown up.
Could something unexpected have happened in the ancient great hall?
A figure stepped out from the hall entrance. The pace was calm and elegant, and the aura was as ethereal as misty clouds. It was Xiao Ran.
However, there was no sign of Zhao Jingxuan.
Lin Xun’s heart sank.
