Chapter 335: He is Not Human! He is a Monster!

“What a pity.”

Above the sea of fire, silence fell once again.

She Qiqi stood beside Lin Xun, looking at everything before her with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, She Si and Pale would have been as dead as could be.

But fortunately, She Si and Pale were still alive.

She Si and Pale sat slumped on a piece of lava not far away, and in front of them stood a man.

It was this man who had blocked Lin Xun’s attack.

“Yu Qiong, one of the five Immortal Realm Enshrined Excellencies of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, a famous powerhouse in the Demon Race World. Because my Imperial Father saved him by some stroke of luck, Yu Qiong said he owed him three favors, so he has stayed by his side until the favors are repaid.”

“Whether it was my Imperial Father seizing the position of Clan Chief or later conquering the Demon Race World, he contributed significantly.”

She Qiqi explained to Lin Xun.

“It seems Imperial Father really went all out to kill me; he even took a Realm-Breaking Pill. Now, Yu Qiong is an Immortal Realm Cultivator, while we are only at the Golden Core. Should we run?”

She Qiqi spoke again, stretching lazily as she did, appearing not the least bit nervous.

Sometimes Lin Xun really couldn’t tell if she was just putting on a front or if she truly wasn’t afraid of death.

Or perhaps, she had never even thought about how to survive.

“Things are indeed a bit troublesome.”

Lin Xun rubbed his eyes.

“Just troublesome? We should probably run.”

She Qiqi laughed.

“To witness a Golden Core kill a Jade Purity Realm, even if you didn’t succeed in the end, is already shocking enough. You’ve satisfied me.”

“But now, the opponent is in the Immortal Realm.”

“Lin Xun, no matter how strong you are or how overbearing your Realm is, it’s impossible for you to kill someone in the Immortal Realm as a Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Immortals of this world be too worthless?”

She Qiqi was right, and Lin Xun knew it.

“If I were at the Nascent Soul Realm now, it wouldn’t be a problem.”

“But for a Golden Core Realm to challenge an Immortal Realm, especially a long-renowned one in the Demon Race World…”

“If I actually killed him, it would be truly ridiculous.”

“But…”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but tighten his grip on his long spear.

In an instant, She Qiqi could clearly sense that not only did Lin Xun lack the slightest hint of fear, but his Battle Intent grew even stronger.

Floating above the sea of fire, Yu Qiong also frowned.

This man was three major Realms below him! And between these three major Realms lay an insurmountable chasm!

Yet facing him, he didn’t want to leave; he actually wanted to fight?

Was this person insane?

“If I’m not mistaken, you are the Demon Son Lin Xun of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect from the Myriad Laws World?” Yu Qiong asked Lin Xun.

“I’ve been discovered by Senior?”

Lin Xun’s Spear Intent rose continuously with every breath.

Not only that, but Lin Xun also had to constantly suppress his Realm to avoid accidentally breaking through and being expelled from the Rootless Secret Realm.

“An overbearing Realm and a black long spear; it’s hard not to guess. Boy, hand over the woman beside you, and I’ll let you go.”

Yu Qiong looked at Lin Xun with appreciation.

“This old man is not as good as you. If it weren’t for the Law of the Dao in the Rootless Secret Realm, I wouldn’t even dare stand before you in the outside world.”

“But Lin Xun, right now I am in the Immortal Realm and you are in the Golden Core Realm. You can’t stop me. Though we stand on different sides, I am unwilling to see such a Genius perish.”

Lin Xun shook his head. “This Junior thanks Senior for his high regard, but in all my battles until now, I have never retreated, nor have I ever lost.”

Yu Qiong shook his head. “This wouldn’t be you losing; it’s me suppressing you with sheer power.”

Lin Xun smiled. “Then I still cannot retreat.”

Yu Qiong’s brow furrowed slightly. “Why? For the woman beside you? Do you know her identity?”

“I am aware of it.”

“Then why are you risking your life for her? What did she promise you? Or is it that you’ve fallen for her?” Yu Qiong was puzzled.

“Hey, have you fallen for me?” The person in question, She Qiqi, still looked relaxed as if it had nothing to do with her. “But I don’t like you.”

Lin Xun turned his head and smiled at her. “Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t like you.”

No longer wasting words with She Qiqi, Lin Xun looked up at the Strange Dragon in the sky.

It was still preventing any Cultivator from leaving, and the lava had begun to rise subtly.

The Strange Dragon wanted to melt everyone in the lava to turn them into nutrients for its egg.

“I appreciate Senior’s kindness, but let’s not waste any more time.”

“Since that’s the case, then don’t blame this old man.”

With those words, the old man extended his palm and pressed down, a massive Dharma Seal descending toward Lin Xun.

Lin Xun stomped on the lava beneath him, shattering the rock, and a black light smashed the Dharma Seal to pieces.

Turning around, Lin Xun and dark brake transformed into a black light, stabbing directly at Yu Qiong’s heart.

Yu Qiong put the heavily injured She Si into his Storage Pouch, but before he could do the same for Pale, the long spear arrived.

Yu Qiong’s heart tightened; as an Immortal Realm expert, he actually didn’t dare to face this Golden Core Realm spear strike head-on.

Yu Qiong dodged, but under the spear’s light, Pale’s body and soul were utterly destroyed.

“I’ve changed my mind. I must kill you. If a war breaks out between the Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World and you are there, our Demon Race World will surely lose!”

Yu Qiong formed seals with both hands, and dragons of lava and fire charged fiercely toward Lin Xun’s position.

Lin Xun continuously kicked off the rock walls, the lava fire dragons exploding behind him!

Yu Qiong shifted his focus, and five or six lava fire dragons attacked She Qiqi from all directions.

“So old, yet still no martial honor.”

Lin Xun scoffed in disdain and immediately turned back, planting his long spear in front of She Qiqi as black Spear Qi enveloped them both.

With a “Boom,” lava splashed dozens of meters high, but Lin Xun had already jumped away, holding She Qiqi.

However, Lin Xun’s arm was burned by the lava.

Tossing She Qiqi onto a pile of lava in the distance, Lin Xun brought his spear down toward Yu Qiong—a strike that felt like a Heavenly Demon Descending upon the world!

Yu Qiong extended his hand, forming a spiritual power barrier to block the strike.

To his surprise, Yu Qiong was hit as if by a heavy blow to the head, smashing straight into the lava.

Flying out of the lava, Yu Qiong was somewhat dazed.

“This person? A Golden Core?”

“If this was a Golden Core, then at the Nascent Soul Realm, wouldn’t he be able to trade blows with someone in the Ascension Realm?”

Rumor had it that when Lin Xun was twelve, he used his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation to challenge various major Sects.

Hearing this in the Demon Race World, Yu Qiong hadn’t taken it seriously at first.

But now, let alone challenging Sects at the Nascent Soul Realm, he would even believe it of a Golden Core!

“He is not human! He is a monster!”

Yu Qiong no longer hesitated; he sat in meditation in mid-air and summoned a Great Cauldron.

Just as Yu Qiong summoned the Great Cauldron, a Giant Cauldron Dharma Image pressed down from above Strange Dragon Mountain, threatening to destroy everything on it!

He hadn’t wanted to go this far, but now, even if he died, he couldn’t let Lin Xun break through and leave this Rootless Secret Realm!
