BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2440: Lin Xiaodao
“Is there a point of going back if my grandson is gone…” Dongshen Yue was already crying at the side.
“But the Lin Clan at least has a chance of holding on if you’re there! This is the moment the Lin Clan needs you the most!” Dongshen Zhuojun said. Truthfully, he didn’t feel a need for Lin Xiao to sacrifice his life for the Dongshen Clan. He just didn’t want Lin Xiao to fall for the trap and fight Chi Hun.
“If you leave now, you might make it in time. Zhuojun and I will send you out!” Dongshen Yang roared on the altar.
Chi Hun wanted Lin Xiao’s life. Furthermore, everything happening at the Infinitum Swordsea and Mount Taia couldn’t be changed!
Up in the sky, Chi Hun counted down as he advanced with a smile. He knew the words he wanted would soon be heard.
Suddenly, a drunk and casual voice sounded behind Chi Hun. “One on one? You’re the mighty tenth rex mundi, you know! It needs to be two on one for the weak and infirm of our Lin Clan to dare to stake our puny little lives.”
Everyone heard the speaker, even though the words weren’t loud. Chi Hun paused. That wasn’t the elderly voice he was expecting; it was too young, to the point it sounded like a youth who had just reached middle-aged.
Chi Hun and his ebon experts, as well as Shuntian Bolong, Wu Su, Murong Tianhua, and the rest all looked up. They saw a sloppily dressed fellow lazily reclining on the Dongshen Clan’s guardian formation. He looked like a rag picker with messy, long dark hair that seemed like it had never been washed before scattered everywhere. It was tangled and the knots were as thick as thumbs.
Naturally, his face was no cleaner. Combined with his overgrown, scruffy beard that glistened with various alcohols, his appearance couldn’t be clearly seen as if he was wearing a mask.
Only a pair of sleepy eyes peeked through.
Finally, he was weakly slouched over with a giant dark green gourd on his back. It was even bigger than him, making him look like a snail.
When all eyes were fixed on him, he stood up and turned around, whistling. "Hello, esteemed masters! I\'m an inexperienced newcomer, and a bit nervous in the face of such a grand event. I humbly request your guidance and care."
His peculiar appearance, coupled with his inexplicable appearance, caused many powerful members of the ebons to furrow their brows.
“Who’s that?” Shuntian Bolong stared. Wasn’t it suicidal to pop up like this at this time?
Chi Hun’s smile widened. “I was wondering who was making their grand appearance, only to find that it’s the famous Etherean Gladeus, the strongest etherean of our Infinitum Mundus!”
“Haha! Big brother, you overestimate me. I never blow my trumpet or else I’ll get a big head! Just call me Xiaodao! My Gladeus is in the boonies, so I don’t really know proper etiquette. My looks are on the rough side, too, so don’t be humble!” the person chuckled. Etherean Gladeus was actually very famous on Ebonia as the Lin Clan’s strongest clansman. However, most people had only heard of him, but didn’t know what he looked like or how his personality was.
However, rumor had it that he liked to act pretentious.
“Lin Xiaodao?” ‘Lin Little Dao’ was a weird name, so most referred to him as Etherean Gladeus, which had more gravitas.
Lin Xiao had met him before, but that was very long ago. Such a person coming here from the distant Gladeus made things more delicate.
Chi Hun looked at him for a full ten seconds, then said, “Etherean Lin, did you just say to take me on one on two?”
“Yep, yep! Look, this little bro here heard a genius popped up in my clan, so I was thinking of taking him as my disciple! So I had to be polite and come personally! But lo and behold, he’s in your hands now. And just when I was feeling all sad, I heard Big Bro Rex Mundi wanting to give our second patriarch a chance. And I thought, hey, that’s what I need, too! So I wanted to fight you with the second patriarch. Do you think it’s possible?” So saying, Lin Xiaodao clasped his hands together and eagerly looked at Chi Hun.
“Don’t worry, bro. Even if you lose, it’s not like I’ll dare kill you! Your family is a big business while my Lin Clan’s a small set-up. We can’t offend you! I’ll just take back my disciple. Speaking of disciples… listen to my story. It’s a tear-jerker! My parents died when I was young and didn’t give me any siblings. I was also born ugly, so I still haven’t found a girl who likes me yet. My line is at risk of ending with me and I just start sobbing every time I think of that. I’m letting down my ancestors here! But maybe I can get a good disciple to succeed me? Give me a chance, bro!” Lin Xiaodao shot out words rapid fire, dumping a whole slew of babbling on everyone.
The field turned silent and everyone looked at Chi Hun. Etherean Gladeus was challenging the tenth rex mundi? Would he accept?
“Rex mundi, be careful. If he’s initiating the challenge, something’s off,” people next to Chi Hun reminded him.
When Chi Hun looked at them, they all shut up. “I hear Etherean Gladeus is mighty. If it’s two on one, let me consider it first.” Chi Hun entered Nethersoul. He took out a gold transmission stone and quickly relayed the situation to a pair of golden eyes.
“What do you think, Chi Hun?”
“This person is worth more than Lin Xiao and there’s never been a chance to kill him since he’s always in Gladeus. If we can take this chance, it’ll solve a problem,” Chi Hun said.
