Chapter 1647: Lin Xun’s Trump Card

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and the others immediately mobilized their power, which in turn caused their auras to surge and spread out.

Rumble!

The scene of a group of quasi-Emperors in a hostile confrontation was simply terrifying. All the air in the region was exploding nonstop into a state of chaos.

It was at this moment that shouts of alarm started to fill the Sun Pass. The old monsters who were secretly paying attention hadn’t expected that the tension would escalate so quickly!

Lin Xun’s eyes grew icy as, for a second, a bone-chilling murderous intent had just now washed over him. It had undoubtedly come from Old Practitioner Qiu.

“Please leave it to me, Seniors!” Lin Xun suddenly strode out. His demeanor was calm while his eyes became increasingly darker and colder.

Shun Ji’s group was speechless. Can’t this kid read the situation? How can he alone be a match for Old Practitioner Qiu?

“Hahaha, can’t you all see? He clearly wants to die to atone for his sins, and yet you are still trying to stand in the way. Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourselves?”

Old Practitioner Qiu on the chariot threw his head back and laughed at the sky. As he did, his might grew more and more intimidating.

The faces of Ling Xiaozi’s group were dim and uncertain, but they still stood firm!

This was the Sun Pass, the place where they were tasked with guarding. What face would they have if they couldn’t even protect Lin Xun here?

Seeing them like this, Lin Xun was touched and helpless. He couldn’t help but say, “I really don’t want you to get involved in this, Seniors. I can bear all the consequences alone.”

Shun Ji angrily said, “Little guy, stop trying to pull the rug from under our feet. Everyone is doing this for your own good!”

Old Practitioner Qiu burst into laughter again, “Look at that! Talk about unreciprocated affection!”

The moment he finished speaking, a sudden roar resounded. One of the black dragon-lions standing in front of the Green Dipper Chariot rushed out and pounced at Lin Xun like a black cloud teleporting through the void.

Its speed was extreme and the ferocity of its aura was beyond imagination.

Not good!

The expressions of Shun Ji’s group immediately changed. The black dragon-lions were a natural-born, foreign species that had been subdued by Gu Liangqu and taken in to cultivate by his side a long time ago.

While these vicious creatures seemed to be mere chariot pullers, each one of them possessed battle power comparable with that of a Saint-King.

Not to mention a True Saint like Lin Xun, even a Big Saint wouldn’t be a match for it at all!

“Insolent beast!” rebuked Madam Mu as she was about to make her move.

The situation was precarious as their energy had been locking on Old Practitioner Qiu, and no one could have predicted that the lion would suddenly attack.

But before Madam Mu could make a move, an unbelievable scene unfolded—

The lion suddenly plopped mid-charge and proceeded to prostrate on the ground, shivering and whimpering as if it had been scared out of its wits.

Not a hint of a ferocious creature comparable to a Saint-King could be seen from this humiliating posture!

The atmosphere instantly fell into a strange silence.

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, Ling Xiaozi, and the others were dumbfounded. What’s going on?

Meanwhile, Old Practitioner Qiu’s smile froze on his face. His pupils constricted as he looked like he had seen ghosts.

“What…” Underworld Son’s eyes almost fell out.

You’re a black dragon-lion that can rival a Saint-King in strength! Why the hell are you acting like a sick cat?

And then, the crowd noticed that at some point, a leaf as clear as ice had appeared on Lin Xun’s palm.

The leaf was plump and crystalline, flowing with a strange luster. On it lay a bronze ant that was the size of a sesame seed.

The bronze ant was small and inconspicuous, but when the old monsters laid eyes on it, their hearts trembled.

What a horrifying aura!

What kind of existence is this?

For a while, the atmosphere only grew increasingly quiet. Everyone understood why the black dragon-lion, who was comparable to a Saint-King, would be scared like this.

The aura of that bronze ant was just too terrifying!

Lin Xun suddenly broke the silence as he lectured the ant like it was his grandson, “I’ve let you out for some fresh air as promised. If you display any naughty behaviors, I’ll seal you up permanently.”

Upon hearing this, the bronze ant seemed to be angry as it swayed its antennae. But eventually, it compromised and uttered, “Understood.”

The onlookers were stupefied.

What the…? Why would such a terrifying bronze ant obey a junior like Lin Xun?

Meanwhile, Lin Xun revealed a contented smile. He lightly flicked his fingertip, and the crystal ice leaf quivered.

Boom!

The bronze ant shot out. Its tiny body speedily grew into the size of a calf in mid-flight and looked as though it was made of pure gold. The ant emitted a splendid, glossy shine.

In addition, its two forelimbs could compare to a pair of divine blades with intimidating sharpness.

As the bronze ant showed its true colors, a cold and violent aura also spread out from it, covering the sky and making the land tremble.

The creature seemed to be quite hungry. As soon as it fully grew to its true size, it opened its mouth and sucked in the black dragon-lion before fiercely chewing up the latter.

The sound of bones and flesh bursting to bits came out from between those sharp teeth. The blood that flowed out made the hair of the old monsters around stand on end.

Vigorous Bronze Ant!

A rare alien species from the primeval era that possessed unimaginable power!

“What the f*ck…” Underworld Son froze, his head spinning, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, Old Practitioner Qiu’s face sank and he furiously shouted, “Seeking death!”

Then, with a wave of his hand, a peerless blade qi descended from the sky like a white waterfall from the nine heavens.

With a whoosh, the bronze ant vanished into thin air.

The next moment, with a mournful and terrified scream, another black dragon-lion was torn and chewed up in the mouth of the bronze ant.

The remaining two lions were so terror-stricken that they prostrated themselves on the ground and didn’t even dare to put up a struggle. They were completely intimidated by the ferocious might emanating from the bronze ant.

This made Old Practitioner Qiu utterly discomfited. Without hesitation, he attacked.

The battle prowess of a quasi-Emperor expert who was ranked among the top ten of the Great Emperor Pass was naturally not to be underestimated.

As he struck out, the void was plunged into disarray and entered a state of crumbling turmoil.

But when his attacks bombarded on the bronze ant, there was only a series of clangs and sparks. They were unable to penetrate its shell at all.

While this happened, the bronze ant successively ate the only two remaining black dragon-lions. Its mouth was dripping with blood. The hearts of the old crowd skipped a beat upon the sight of its hideous, brutal appearance.

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but gasp. As only one of the quasi-Emperor beings that once hibernated in the Mulberry Woodland, isn’t this ant a little bit too strong?

Was Old Practitioner Qiu too weak?

No!

It was only because this bronze ant was too strong!

“Sinful animal!!!” Old Practitioner Qiu was so full of rage that his eyes were bulging and bloodshot.

This Green Dipper Chariot belonged to Gu Liangqu, and so were the four black dragon-lions pulling it. But they had all been eaten!

How was he going to explain this to Gu Liangqu?

As for Underworld Son, he was already so shocked by the bloody scene that his scalp had gone numb, and he almost peed himself.

How can a bronze ant be so powerful?

“I already ignored you old thing, and you’re still coming at me? It just so happens that I haven’t gotten my fill yet, so I’ll take you to satiate my stomach!” The bronze ant, who hadn’t once retaliated against Old Practitioner Qiu’s bombardment, suddenly glared at him. Its violent aura rushed through the heavens.

Boom!

Swiftly and fiercely, its sharp forelimbs ripped the air as it bolted toward Old Practitioner Qiu like an ancient fiend.

That strong and unparalleled might threw Shun Ji’s group into a long, stunned trance.

It finally dawned on them how badly they had previously misjudged the situation. Lin Xun hadn’t been naïve and trying to play the hero, he was just secure in the knowledge that nothing could harm him!

With such a ferocious creature to rely on, there was no need for their old bones to make a move at all!

Rumble~

A battle between two quasi-Emperors erupted. Old Practitioner Qiu and the bronze ant fought from the ground to the clouds. Every blow traded was like a clash between gods, stirring up the atmosphere in the ten directions. Under their attacks, the sun dimmed and the sky lost color.

With Lin Xun’s current strength, he couldn’t even peer into the details of the battle.

After all, it was a battle between quasi-Emperors. Their arts and power were not something he could even comprehend.

However, he could still tell that the bronze ant had the clear upper hand. Its onslaughts were uninterrupted, swift, violent, and domineering.

On the contrary, Old Practitioner Qiu was dwarfed into a passive state, letting out angry bellows from time to time.

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, Ling Xiaozi, and the other quasi-Emperors were watching nervously.

This was not a fight between juniors, but a fierce one among their peers that had them in awe and shock.

Old Practitioner Qiu was a renowned quasi-Emperor in the Great Emperor Pass, and his battle prowess was obvious to all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to force Shun Ji’s group to fall back with a single strike earlier.

Yet, a powerful bronze ant had come out of nowhere and displayed a terrifying strength that could steadily suppress Old Practitioner Qiu. This was naturally overwhelming.

Where did it come from, and why would something of such monstrous ferocity follow Lin Xun’s orders?

This seemed too unbelievable!

At this moment, Lin Xun turned toward Underworld Son and smiled, “If I didn’t hear wrong, you were the one clamoring for me to come out just now, weren’t you, Treasure Delivery Boy?”

Madam Mu snickered. This kid is too direct.

“What do you want?” On the chariot, Underworld Son stiffened but still tried to act tough.

“You tell me. What would you do if…there’s a treasure trove right in front of you?” Lin Xun walked over, still maintaining the same smile as he gazed fervently at Underworld Son like he was really a treasure trove.

Underworld Son’s face turned purple with shock, irritation, and fear.

The four black dragon-lions had been eaten, while Old Practitioner Qiu was too occupied battling the bronze ant to care about him. How could he not feel scared?

No matter how angry and frustrated he was, he still didn’t have the guts to fight Lin Xun as the last fiasco was still fresh in his mind. How could he possibly let himself be subjected to humiliation once again?

Run!

Without any hesitation whatsoever, Underworld Son turned around and fled in an efficient manner.

However, a smiling Lin Xun appeared on his path with a flicker and said, “I won’t let you leave this time.”

While speaking, he already struck out without holding back.

Boom!

His punch blasted out like a blazing great dao furnace that imprinted itself into the void, with a timeless momentum capable of suppressing everything.
