第三千六百八十五章 绝地反击

That was a strange sensation, as if he would be crushed into powder in the next moment.

This experience of straddling life and death had long been forgotten by Lin Xuan. How many years had it been since he last encountered such a situation?

Was this just one move that would erase him from existence?

So-called supreme powerhouses were truly formidable to such an extent.

He originally thought that advancing to the late-stage Tribulation Transcender would allow him to match any existent in the Three Realms. But now, it turned out that these so-called thoughts were nothing but a joke.

There was no point resisting; it was futile.

Put down your sword, Lin Xuan. Challenging the Rain Mist Business Alliance was your mistake. Those who know when to yield should submit and await execution. Perhaps then, the other party might spare his soul.

In the next life, just be an ordinary person.

There are too many dangers and hardships on the path of cultivation; why force yourself through this narrow bridge?

A voice in his mind kept urging him, calm and gentle yet filled with temptation, gradually eroding Lin Xuan's willpower.

The aura he emitted grew weaker. The light of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was already faint, and that massive sword would soon crush him into powder.

Daji Scattered Man stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a demeanor that made cultivators bow. His seemingly unremarkable body radiated an aura that compelled others to kneel.

In his view, the outcome had no悬念.

One strike was enough to kill here and now.

But it wasn't because Lin Xuan was weak; quite the opposite, he was exceptionally strong.

He hadn’t seen such a prodigy in millions of years. Perhaps his talent truly rivaled that of Asura from ancient times.

Unfortunately, what use is that? There's no time for him to grow into an actual Asura.

A genius would fall here today.

Who let him commit this unforgivable mistake?

Daji Scattered Man felt a tinge of regret but made no hesitation in his action. This strike seemed simple, but it contained all his spirit and magical energy.

An eagle hunting rabbits uses its full strength; how much more so for such a little guy who could rival the Asura King.

High-level combatants only need to compete at the millimeter level. A single sword can decide life or death, not without precedent.

Lin Xuan was destined to fall here. In the next moment, he would be splattered with blood. Daji Scattered Man's strike contained unparalleled power and subtle mental attacks.

It could weaken his combat will!

This wasn't a simple illusion; it was an effect of his refined divine consciousness after countless锤炼.

Even tribulation transcendents would have to submit when facing this sword, standing obediently to be executed where they stood.

Lin Xuan's gaze had become utterly unfocused. Clearly, under the pressure of Daji Scattered Man’s divine consciousness, he no longer had the strength to fight back.

This attack contained the true essence of swordsmanship. Lin Xuan's fall would not be regrettable.

Daji Scattered Man was confident in his strategy, but would things really unfold as he imagined?

The situation for Lin Xuan was indeed critical at this moment. But Lin Xuan never knew what it meant to submit and await execution.

Supreme powerhouses? Even facing a true immortal, he wouldn't yield.

Just as the divine sword was about to be within an arm's length of him, Lin Xuan suddenly regained focus in his gaze.

He suddenly raised his head, and a burst of aura erupted from his body. The deep eyes shone with crystalline light.

His immense divine consciousness transformed into a blade, slicing forward with great force.

Boom!

The wind rose, the clouds gathered. The collapsing void once again devolved into chaos, resembling primordial chaos.

Daji Scattered Man's face suddenly paled as he was struck by disbelief. A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth.

He looked like he had seen a ghost at this moment.

He hadn't thought Lin Xuan could break free from his mental attack, but he never expected it to be so powerful afterward.

His divine consciousness turned into a blade and directly cut through his own divine energy. There was no trickery; they clashed head-on.

And he discovered that he had lost by a hair.

Was this real? This kid couldn't be more than a few years old, yet his divine consciousness rivaled true immortals.

His robustness left Daji Scattered Man's meticulous plans with holes.

Lin Xuan’s desperate counterattack was far from over.

Spiritual light burst forth from his body. Countless intricate symbols flew out and fused with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.

A clear ringing sounded, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. The spiritual light on the surface of the sword expanded and contracted, transforming into a massive ball of light.

The five-colored spiritual glow was so bright that it seemed more dazzling than the sun above.

Then, "swoosh" sounds echoed as the colorful balls of light began to spin rapidly. Accompanying this were streaks of light shooting out from their surfaces, like meteors, crashing onto the mountainous sword light before him.

The scene was indescribable.

Each meteor contained a different law of nature, including the laws of swords, force, extreme cold, and space...

The sheer number left onlookers speechless. The mix was dizzying, making it hard to distinguish or defend against.

Cultivators watching were dumbfounded. No one expected such a dramatic reversal.

Lin Xuan dared to challenge Daji Scattered Man head-on. This direct confrontation resulted in an unexpected turn of events. Now, the situation seemed even more unfavorable for Daji Scattered Man.

He was one of the Two Elders of Heaven and Earth; his status in the Three Realms was truly top-tier, comparable to a true demon ancestor ranked near the bottom.

How did this kid manage such a feat?

No one would believe it unless they witnessed it with their own eyes. It was too outrageous!

Daji Scattered Man was both shocked and angry. He hadn’t underestimated him; his eagle hunting rabbit move should have been enough, yet he still ended up in such a predicament. This was unacceptable.

Could this kid rival top-tier powerhouses? No... impossible.

Before the thought could fully form, another scene unfolded before his eyes.

The shattered void began to recover visibly. In just one breath, the sky cleared again.

The clouds were light, and the wind gentle, as if everything that happened was a dream.

The mountainous pressure vanished, replaced by Daji Scattered Man's chest bleeding profusely.

He had been injured.

All onlookers wore expressions of disbelief. Even after witnessing the entire battle, they couldn't believe that Daji Scattered Man would lose to Lin Xuan.
