Chapter 240: Forget it, all of you come at me together

“Boom!”

A loud bang echoed through the entire mountain range; the Elders in the hall who were in the middle of a meeting were all splashed in the face with tea!

“What happened?”

“Could it be that the Earth Dragon turned over its body?”

The Elders in the hall began to speculate.

But soon, more thunderous bangs spread out.

As if the Earth Dragon were turning over, the entire mountain range of the Great Joy Temple was shaking.

“Abbot, Elders, this is bad, very bad. There’s a man… there’s a man…”

A Great Joy Temple Disciple came rolling and crawling into the hall.

“What about a man? Speak clearly!” Wangnian grabbed him by the collar and glared.

“There is a man outside who is attacking our mountain gate!” Fear filled the Disciple’s eyes. “He has already killed two Nascent Soul Realm Consecrators and five Golden Core Realm Deacons.”

“What?!”

All the Elders slammed the table and stood up!

“Who is that man? How old does he look, and which Sect is he from?”

“I… I don’t know.” The Disciple swallowed hard. “He’s wearing a mask, has a tall build, and looks like a young man around the age of twenty. As for which Sect he’s from, this Disciple truly doesn’t know.”

“Trash!!!”

Wangnian was so furious that he sent the Disciple flying with a palm strike, crashing him into a stone pillar and snapping his spine.

“Let’s go!” The Great Joy Temple Abbot strode out. “I want to see exactly who is so unafraid of death that they dare to come to my Great Joy Temple alone to cause trouble!”

Above the Great Joy Temple, Lin Xun held a tree branch and swung it again and again at the Great Joy Temple’s Mountain-Protecting Magic Formation.

Under Lin Xun’s torment, the durability of the Great Joy Temple’s Mountain-Protecting Magic Formation plummeted. Tens of thousands of Spirit Stones responsible for maintaining the Magic Formation’s operation were constantly turning into dust to replenish it.

“Hey, where’s the boss of your Great Joy Temple? Is he still there? Don’t make me look for you one by one, I’m in a hurry.”

Lin Xun transmitted his voice throughout the entire Great Joy Temple. His tone indeed sounded a bit anxious, as if it were almost noon and he was in a rush to go home for lunch.

Even though it was still many hours away from noon, and the sky had only just broken into dawn.

Lin Xun’s words echoed among the many peaks. Just as Lin Xun was about to swing the branch again, suddenly, a Great Joy Temple Consecrator charged toward him.

“Yellow-haired brat, do not be so arrogant! Is our Great Joy Temple a place where you can run wild?”

The Great Joy Temple Consecrator pinched a hand seal, and a Great Black Ice Tortoise charged toward Lin Xun! The tortoise’s head seemed intent on smashing Lin Xun to pieces.

“Are the Spells of the Great Joy Temple this weird?”

Lin Xun’s brow twitched slightly, and then he nonchalantly threw the branch in his hand.

The branch pierced straight through the tortoise’s head and its entire body.

By the time the Great Joy Temple Consecrator could even react, the branch had already pierced through his own body!

In an instant, this Nascent Soul Realm Consecrator was physically and spiritually destroyed, losing even the chance for Reincarnation.

This scene was witnessed by the Great Joy Temple Abbot and the Elders who had rushed over in a fury.

A Nascent Soul Realm Consecrator was killed with a casual strike, and even his Divine Soul was erased. This person’s Realm was definitely not low; not just the Jade Purity Realm, he was likely already in the Immortal Realm.

Setting aside the Demon Race World, how many in the Immortal Realm could there be in the Myriad Laws World alone?

These people in the Immortal Realm were either a Sect Master, the second-in-command of a Holy Land, or even a Sect’s Old Ancestor.

Let alone the Immortal Realm, any existence in the Yupu Realm (the first Realm of the Upper Five Realms) would be recorded and cataloged by the major Sects.

But who exactly was this man? Could it be the Old Ancestor of some Sect coming for revenge?

Wait?!

Wearing a mask?

Reaching the Upper Five Realms at the age of twenty?!

Could this person be—

Impossible, impossible. That Devil Son suffered a great dao injury, and rumor has it that the Dragon Gate Realm is his limit. How could he possibly have such strength!

“I do not know why Your Excellency has come to my Great Joy Temple to cause such trouble?” the Great Joy Temple Abbot said in a deep voice.

“Why?” Lin Xun thought for a moment, then slowly spoke. “I, Diao Zhen Da, don’t need a reason to challenge a hall. But this time, it’s mainly because I, Diao Zhen Da, want to eliminate an evil for the people; I just find you eyesores.”

“Your Excellency goes too far,” the Great Joy Temple Abbot said, his face showing killing intent.

“Heh.” Lin Xun gave a contemptuous smile. “Given the atrocious things you’ve done over these thousands of years, you actually say I’m going too far? Good grief, I’ve truly never seen anyone so shameless.”

As he spoke, Lin Xun sighed. “Forget it, there’s no use talking to you. Anyway, you’re all about to be dead men.”

As his words fell, Lin Xun swung the tree branch down once more!

This swing was infused with the momentum of heaven and earth!

“Dong!”

Another simple swing!

The Great Joy Temple’s Mountain-Protecting Magic Formation was actually breached directly!

“Outrageous! This old monk will use your Divine Soul as a lamp wick today! I’ll make your life worse than death!”

The Great Joy Temple Abbot shouted loudly and threw a spirit bead into the sky.

This spirit bead was the key to the Great Joy Temple’s Soul Capturing Array.

When the spirit bead hovered in the air and then vanished into concealment, the Great Joy Temple’s Soul Capturing Array was activated!

The Soul Capturing Array.

It was created by the founding Old Ancestor of the Great Joy Temple.

It snatches three souls: the first is the Heaven Soul, the second is the Earth Soul, and the third is the Life Soul.

It seizes seven po: the first po is Tianchong, the second is Linghui, the third is Qi, the fourth is Power, the fifth is the Hub, the sixth is Essence, and the seventh is Hero.

Furthermore, what Lin Xun had breached earlier was merely the outer layer of the Great Joy Temple’s Mountain-Protecting Magic Formation.

Under the guidance of the Soul Capturing Array, the Great Joy Temple’s Mountain-Protecting Magic Formation was activated again, blessing the bodies of the Great Joy Temple Abbot and the others, directly raising their Realm by half a level!

Countless runes surged toward Lin Xun. Once he stepped into the Magic Formation, Lin Xun’s Realm would be suppressed by half a level!

As one side fell and the other rose, the difference between the two became a full Realm!

“Abbot, leave this kid to me!”

The Elder named Wangxin, who was in the Late Stage of the Yupu Realm, had already stepped into the Immortal Realm under the enhancement of the Magic Formation. He held a Zen Staff and smashed it down heavily toward Lin Xun!

He was determined to smash this kid to death and then refine him into a Puppet!

Just as his Zen Staff was only 0.01 centimeters away from Lin Xun’s forehead, and Wangxin felt he would surely succeed—

Suddenly, his Zen Staff could not advance another inch!

“A Semi-Immortal Grade Zen Staff is originally a good item, but it fell into the hands of a wicked monk like you.”

Wangxin’s pupils shrank. He saw the man before him stop his Zen Staff with a single finger and then slowly move the staff away.

What Wangxin saw was the man’s nonchalant, even somewhat lazy gaze.

Wangxin felt the Zen Staff inexplicably slip from his hands.

By the time Wangxin reacted, the man was already swinging the Zen Staff toward him.

In an instant, Wangxin was physically and spiritually destroyed.

“Next.”

The man looked at the crowd.

“Forget it, all of you come at me together.”
