BXBX NOVEL Chapter 944 An Unstoppable Punch
Chapter 944 An Unstoppable Punch
The blood-colored ship was narrow and hundreds of feet long.
On the ship stood a group of cultivators looking in the same direction with murderous gazes.
They were led by a total of six half-step kings, all in black robes. Even if they were standing silently, the power and imposing manner exuding from their bodies sent chills down people’s spines.
Kou Xing, Green Face, Scarlet Silk, and the others looked grave, feeling extremely uneasy.
They might be able to resolve the dangers in the boundary river with their wealth of experience but, in the face of such a powerful team of people, it was hard not to feel despair.
It was understandable. The difference in strength between them was too great!
The team came speeding towards them and blocked their path. There was no need to ask to know that they came for Miss Le.
“Trouble has come.”
Miss Le seemed very calm and only just sighed helplessly.
She turned to look at Lin Xun and said, “Those are the disciples of the Sacred Fire Sect of the Aolai Kingdom. The six old guys are the head priests of the Sacred Fire Sect. They are all ruthless and merciless. Their hands have been stained with the lives of tens of thousands. It is not an exaggeration to call them the executioners of the Sacred Fire Sect.”
Lin Xun nodded as he studied them.
There were six half-step kings and eighteen Cyclic Derivation cultivators. The line-up was impressive, strong enough to make anyone below the Life Death Stage feel despair.
But that did not include Lin Xun.
He just found it a little strange that all the disciples of the Sacred Fire Sect exuded a unique cryptic and sinister aura that made everyone uncomfortable.
“Miss Le, we meet again. If you hand over the Sacred Fire Dao Origin Stone now then we may be merciful and grant you a quick and painless death,” said the old man indifferently. He had white hair and a youthful complexion and was on the blood-colored ship. “You should give up, no one can save you now.”
Sacred Fire Dao Origin Stone!
Lin Xun was staring at them blankly when Miss Le’s voice rang in his ears, “It is a sacred object of the Sacred Fire Sect. It stores the wish power they took from countless people in the Aolai Kingdom over the years, and it plays some kind of vital role in how they refine certain weapons.”
Miss Le smiled slightly and looked at the blood-colored ship in the distance. “The existence of the Sacred Fire Dao Origin Stone harms the world and all living beings in it. It is the source of evil, and I am just enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. It makes no sense that you want to kill me.”
“Stop making excuses!” A half-step king yelled like a clap of thunder.
“Don’t waste time talking with her. This woman won’t listen. Just kill her already! Her comrades must also be punished with her!” commanded the other half-step kings coldly.
“Fine.” The old man nodded, his expression cold and hostile.
From the beginning to the end, they paid no attention to anyone except Miss Le.
Both Lin Xun and Kou Xing had been ignored and disregarded.
Their arrogant and cold attitude not only made Kou Xing and the others furious but also dispirited. They had to admit that the opponents had the means to disregard them.
Lin Xun couldn’t help scrunching his brows. The Sacred Fire Sect is so arrogant. After just a few words, they plan to kill us all. They clearly have done similar things many times in the past.
Boom!
But no matter what Lin Xun thought, the other party was already making a move. A black-robed, middle-aged man of the half-step king stage came speeding across the void. With a turn of his hand, a giant handprint crashed down from above, obscuring the sky. Amidst the rumbling of dao, the treasure ship was completely covered by the giant hand.
The attacker appeared indifferent, aloof, and cold as if he was in charge of life and death.
Kou Xing and the others were on the verge of a breakdown. Regardless of how much they wanted to evade and fight back, the pressure from a half-step king made them give up on even resisting.
So strong!
It was an attack of a completely different level. They felt like tiny ants facing the merciless attack of a dragon from the sky.
Even Miss Le tensed up nervously. She never imagined that the Sacred Fire Sect would dispatch six half-step kings this time!
Even if she thought very highly of Lin Xun, her confidence in him was still shaken at that moment, and her face imperceptibly scrunched up with worry.
Lin Xun was still deciding on whether to resolve this sudden obstruction peacefully.
After all, there was no enmity between him and the Sacred Fire Sect, so he shouldn’t do something too outrageous just to help Miss Le.
However, he changed his mind!
From the very beginning when the other party appeared, they disregarded him and treated him as non-existent. He could forgive them for that, but now they wanted to kill them all. How could Lin Xun tolerate their arrogant and callous attitudes?
They could be so ruthless and merciless to someone they had no grudges with. He could only imagine how tyrannical they usually were!
When the opponent launched an attack, Lin Xun had already activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, soaring into the sky and throwing a punch forward.
Huh?
The middle-aged man in the black robe seemed to be a little surprised that a youth who was only at the perfect Heaven Ascension Stage dared to stand forward. Does he have a death wish?
Immediately, a flash of realization struck him, and a look of disdain twisted his cold and indifferent expression. He noticed that Lin Xun’s aura had instantly changed from the Heaven Ascension Stage to the intermediate Cyclic Derivation Stage!
That guy deliberately concealed his strength...
However, is this what gave him the confidence to stand forward?
It’s not enough!
The middle-aged man in the black robe resumed his indifferent expression as if he was watching a moth throw itself into a flame. There was not a tinge of pity or sympathy, nor was there a spark of interest.
As a half-step king, he had already possessed the power to look down on all the cultivators of the Five Great Stages. Over the years, he had slaughtered countless cultivators at the Cyclic Derivation Stage, so how would he care about any resistance from Lin Xun?
On the blood-colored battleship in the distance, the priests and disciples of the Sacred Fire Sect also wore indifferent looks. They had seen people struggling and resisting too often. It perhaps was the only thing that every expert did before death.
“He...” Kou Xing and the others were dumbfounded. They never thought that Young Master Lin Xia would be so courageous and unyielding. He would rather die than sit and accept death.
Boom!
The palm of the middle-aged man continued to slam down with earthshaking force.
Boom!
At the same time, Lin Xun threw out a punch. It was simple, plain, and without any showy movements.
But an unexpected scene happened—
Lin Xun's punch was as strong as a shattering one, easily shattering that black palm print covering the sky!
Boom!
A vast explosion turned the power of the palm into a sky full of light before it dissipated into nothing.
“No!” On the blood-colored battleship in the distance, everyone’s pupils shrank.
“He...” Kou Xing and the others were dumbfounded. It was a blow from a half-step king, yet it was dispelled so easily?
“As expected of the mighty Demon God Lin who caused a storm in the West Infinity World!” Miss Le muttered to herself.
The pupils of the middle-aged man also shrank. Only then did he realize the power of the punch, which was completely different from what he prepared for.
However, he was a half-step king. He remained as calm and cold as before. A little unexpected disturbance couldn’t ruffle him at all.
Boom!
A beam of bright light from the fist was already whizzing across the air.
The middle-aged man in black uttered coldly, “You’re not bad since you can dispel my blow. I’ll let you die with dignity then.”
His expression was still superior, contemptuous, and arrogant as if he was doing Lin Xun a favor.
As he was speaking, he stepped forward and thrust out his palm. The space collapsed around it, and the sky whimpered. A blast of terrifying palm power rushed forward to meet the beam of fist light.
Its force was as tremendous as a dragon emerging from an abyss, disturbing the universe!
That was the power of a half-step king. Although he was not a true king, he stood above the five great cultivation stages and possessed the power to look down on everyone below the king stage.
But…
The moment his palm power collided with Lin Xun’s fist light, he realized that he was wrong!
His calm and contemptuous look faded, replaced by a mixture of shock, horror, disbelief, and a trace of imperceptible panic.
But it was too late for him to do anything.
Rumble!
The fist light erupted with invincible force like a tsunami and instantly crushed the palm power.
Then, under gazes full of disbelief, the fist heavily slammed into his chest.
Boom!
At that critical juncture, he drew upon all the strength of the half-step king stage to defend, but a rush of pain still shot through his body and his ribcage collapsed with a crunch and crackle.
Then, he was blasted into the air like a kite snapping off from its string, blood spurting from his mouth and nostrils. His face was contorted, his chest sunk in, and his back was curled up like a boiled prawn.
“Ah...” In the end, he failed to suppress a tragic scream that resounded through the sky.
Everything seemed to happen slowly, but it was all done in a blink of an eye. From the beginning to the end, Lin Xun only threw out one punch. He first smashed the palm print that covered the sky, then he destroyed the palm power, and finally, he struck the middle-aged man in the chest.
He was unstoppable and invincible!
It fell utterly silent.
Whether it was the members of the Sacred Fire Sect on the blood-colored battleship, or Kou Xing and the others, all were rooted to the spot with widened eyes as if they had been struck by lightning.
So fast!
So unexpected!
A young man sent a half-step king flying with one punch like he was invincible!
Only Miss Le knew that the black-robed middle-aged man had brought it upon himself for treating Lin Xun as an ant shaking the tree.
But they didn’t know that Lin Xun was not an ant, but the mighty Demon God Lin!
If the black-robed middle-aged man took the battle seriously, perhaps he would not have lost so miserably. It was unfortunate that he was too arrogant and careless. Didn’t he bring upon his own death?
Of course, the black-robed middle-aged man’s carelessness was the main reason for his loss, but Lin Xun’s strength was also heaven-defying, far superior to his peers. He had already been able to defeat Lin Taizhen of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan, a half-step king when he first set foot into the Ancient Wasteland Domain as the initial Cyclic Derivation stage.
Moreover, Lin Xun’s strength has grown tremendously since then.
