Chapter 158: Could I have fallen under an illusion?

Looking at the greedy glints in those Cultivators’ eyes, Sikong Wangxing and Wang Chen once again shielded Lin Xun behind them, their backs pressed tight against him, fearing he might suffer even the slightest harm.

Never mind Ruo Wangchen, who could see through people’s hearts; even Sikong Wangxing knew what these people wanted.

Furthermore, Sikong Wangxing and Wang Chen felt that although Lin Xun’s strength was formidable, his injuries remained.

Moreover, Sikong Wangxing felt that even if Young Master Lin’s injuries were healed, it wouldn’t be enough.

In this Secret Realm, everyone was in the Dragon Gate Realm. Even though she rarely went out, she had never heard of a single Dragon Gate Realm Cultivator taking on nearly ten thousand others alone.

Actually, if possible, Lin Xun didn’t want to fight ten thousand people alone either.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but the consumption would be massive. This Secret Realm clearly still had a BOSS, and he had to save his strength to fight it.

Besides, that princess of the Demon Race World was no ordinary character; ghost knows what tricks she might have.

So, Lin Xun felt he should save as much stamina as possible.

But if he really had to fight, it was no big deal. Lin Xun knew a thing or two about surrounding ten thousand people by himself.

Five more breaths passed, and still, no one from the opposing side moved.

The Bodhi Holy Land and Tianji City didn’t dare move recklessly because their Saintesses were in Lin Xun’s hands, fearing their Saintesses would be gone in an instant.

As for the Sects friendly with Tianji City and the Bodhi Holy Land, as well as those Cultivators who admired Sikong Wangxing and Ruo Wangchen, they naturally stayed put.

The last remaining ones were Cultivators who wanted to make a name for themselves.

Although they felt Lin Xun was at the end of his rope, the problem was they didn’t know where that “end” actually was.

So they were waiting for others to go up and throw their lives away to test the waters. If it seemed safe, they would move.

In the end, everyone waited for everyone else, and none of these Cultivators moved.

For a moment, the scene fell into a stalemate, forming a delicate situation.

“Young Master Lin, don’t worry. Wang Xing has a Secret Technique that will allow Big Brother Lin to leave safely,” Sikong Wangxing sent a mental transmission to Lin Xun’s heart lake.

Legend has it that the Star Eyes of the Immortal Realm can open the heavens.

Although Wang Xing was only in the Dragon Gate Realm now, opening the barrier of this Secret Realm wouldn’t be a problem. This was also why Sikong Wangxing had insisted on following Jiang Qingshang to the Heiwu Secret Realm.

When Jiang Qingshang was in danger, Wang Xing would use her Star Eyes to open the barrier and send Sister Jiang away.

But Sikong Wangxing was naturally frail, and she had been seriously injured in the Secret Realm.

If she tried to force open the barrier now, the price would likely be her life.

However, in the young girl’s heart, her life had belonged to him from the moment she decided he was her fiancé.

Hearing Sikong Wangxing’s transmission, Lin Xun shook his head:

“I don’t know what Miss Sikong’s Secret Technique is, but I know it will definitely be detrimental to you. And it’s really not necessary. Although my strength has regressed a tiny bit compared to my Peak state, I’m still—”

Suddenly, before Lin Xun could finish, his mind sharpened.

At the very instant his focus tightened, Lin Xun raised his long spear behind him.

By the time everyone reacted, a purple long sword had already clashed with the tip of Lin Xun’s spear, sparks flying from the impact.

At the other end of the purple long sword, the eyes of the girl holding it were sharp. Those clear, charming eyes were beautiful, yet they made people afraid to approach, like an icy mountain lotus.

Jiang Qingshang.

The girl rumored to be on par with Lin Xun, who might even be able to pin him to the ground and make him kneel before her to sing “Conquered” in a hundred years!

Facing the powerful Sword Qi and looking at the exquisite girl before him, Lin Xun was also somewhat surprised.

Mainly, Lin Xun found it difficult to connect this powerful, cold girl with the “eccentric” girl who had been playing hot and cold with him that day.

“Boom!”

A massive wave of spiritual energy suddenly swept through, and intense Spiritual Pressure filled the entire world.

It was as if the pillars could no longer support this false sky, and the heavens seemed about to collapse.

“Clang!”

The purple long sword shifted half an inch, flashing past Lin Xun’s side. Lin Xun’s long spear swept past her, the tip carrying a trace of blood.

But in the blink of an eye, Ruo Wangchen and Sikong Wangxing, who were by Lin Xun’s side, had both vanished.

Looking up, a purple mist dissipated; Ruo Wangchen and Sikong Wangxing had already been taken away by Jiang Qingshang.

The zilin immortal sword drew a circle in the air. After the girl in the plain dress saved Sikong Wangxing and Ruo Wangchen, she caught the sword again and lunged toward Lin Xun once more!

At this moment, a cut had appeared on the girl’s shoulder, and crimson blood seeped through.

The crimson blood seeping through her fair shoulder was like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but find it remarkable.

This girl was beautiful even when injured.

But Jiang Qingshang didn’t care about her injuries at all.

Using her spiritual power to quickly stop the bleeding, Jiang Qingshang gripped her sword with her right hand and clashed with Lin Xun’s long spear again and again.

The black spear force and the purple Sword Qi blended together, expanding like a storm time and again.

Everyone used their spiritual power to protect themselves, let alone stepping forward to take advantage of the situation.

They felt that if they stepped forward, they would be caught in the crossfire and severely injured!

Is this really a battle between those in the Dragon Gate Realm?

Are you two fake Dragon Gate Realm Cultivators?

No, wait, am I the fake Dragon Gate Realm one?

Actually, Jiang Qingshang had only just arrived. Because the speed of the master had to be considered, the flying speed of the zilin immortal sword was much slower than the long spear dark brake.

By the time Lin Xun caught the long spear dark brake, the zilin immortal sword and Jiang Qingshang were only halfway there.

And the moment Jiang Qingshang saw Lin Xun, what she saw was Wang Xing and that Saintess of the Bodhi Holy Land being “blocked” by Lin Xun in front of ten thousand Cultivators.

In such a situation, anyone would think this man was using Wang Xing and Wang Chen as hostages!

Sikong Wangxing and Jiang Qingshang were like sisters; Sikong Wangxing was like Jiang Qingshang’s own younger sister. How could Jiang Qingshang bear to see her own sister in danger?

Thus, before Zhu Ling or Nong Qin could explain, Jiang Qingshang flew up on her sword, the zilin immortal sword stabbing directly at the back of the opponent’s head.

Jiang Qingshang never expected the opponent to be able to react and block her strike. (Jiang Qingshang could even less imagine that if this strike had succeeded, she would have become a widow.)

Although her strike was blocked, saving people was the priority. Jiang Qingshang intentionally shifted, using the cost of her own injury to perform the “Illusory Mist” Secret Technique and rescue Sikong Wangxing and Ruo Wangchen.

After the rescue, Jiang Qingshang once again flew up on her sword, intending to eliminate this beast who had kidnapped her Sister Wangxing.

However, Jiang Qingshang hadn’t expected that there was someone in the world who could match her within the same realm.

“Sister Qingshang, don’t!”

“Your Highness! What are you doing!”

“Martial Niece Wang Chen!”

Just as the two had fought for a long time and separated again, Sikong Wangxing blocked Jiang Qingshang, while Wang Chen shielded Lin Xun with all her might.

At the same time, Jiang Nongqin and Zhu Ling finally arrived, shielding Lin Xun behind them along with Wang Chen.

For a moment, everyone present was somewhat dazed.

Aside from that peerless girl from the World’s Number One Peak, three Righteous Path Saintesses were deathly protective of the Devil Head Lin Xun?

What is wrong with this world?

Has something gone wrong?

Could I have fallen under an illusion?
