Huff~
Lin Xun's breathing became rapid and ragged.
Each breath seemed to tug at all the injuries in his body, producing intense, sharp bursts of pain that also made his complexion grow increasingly pale.
The only silver lining was that the wound on his chest had fully healed.
Plop!
The body of a cultivator fell from the eaves of one of the buildings in the distance, soundlessly claimed by death.
Soon after, several figures rushed out from one of the side streets. However, they lifelessly dropped to the ground one after another before they could make any moves.
From start to end, Lin Xun didn’t stop nor bother to take a single glance.
He knew that as long as Little Silver was around, even ordinary supreme heaven prides would not be able to harm him.
It wasn't long before a courtyard appeared at a remote corner of the street in the distance.
It was the residence Lin Xun had purchased previously.
Little Silver transmitted a warning in a grave voice, "Master, something is off!"
Lin Xun also noticed lights suddenly rushing over from all directions like tidal waves.
They were clearly from different factions, but had grouped up together to form an intimidating force.
There were cultivators as far as the eye could see. It was scary to see them everywhere like an endless swarm of locusts.
All that could be heard was the sound of rushing wind.
Evidently, disciples from all the major ancient orthodoxies in the city had rushed here the moment they heard the news, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Lin Xun once and for all!
"Little Silver, come back. You don’t need to do anything next."
Lin Xun's cold, black eyes contained extreme indifference.
"Master..."
Little Silver was startled.
"Why, do you still not trust me?"
Lin Xun didn't stop moving while he spoke. He arrived in front of the courtyard in a flash.
However, Little Silver refused to yield and resolutely said, ''Master, I will not retreat even if I end up dying in battle. Please let me fight alongside you!"
Lin Xun was stunned. He suddenly laughed and did not say anything else.
Rumble~
A group of Golden Crow experts arrived amidst devastating golden flames and landed on the ground. Their gazes immediately locked onto Lin Xun, staring at him as if he were already a dead man.
"Golden Crow Clan Dao Friends, could you guys hand this bastard over to our Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain to deal with?"
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan also menacingly approached with a group of Thousand Beasts Spirit Mountain cultivators, sealing off another area.
"No, Demon God Lin must be dealt with by our Mysterious Metropolis Sect!"
"Everyone, Demon God Lin has a deep grudge with my clan. The Sea Soul Clan will be eternally grateful if you guys can give him up to us."
"Hmph, he killed my Moon Worshipper Sect’s disciples in Burning Sky Valley. I advise all of you to stay out of this affair. We are determined to take Demon God Lin’s life!"
Loud shouts rang out one after another as experts from various orthodoxies appeared, completely sealing off the area Lin Xun was in.
None of them bothered to conceal their killing intent, filling the air with a suffocating, murderous aura.
Lin Xun quietly watched with ice-cold eyes while silently memorizing the names of all the orthodoxies present.
Numerous cultivators had also gathered and were watching from some distance away.
The scene caused a chill to run down their spines. Demon God Lin's current situation could be described as completely surrounded with enemies on all sides!
He was pretty much doomed!
To make things worse, the various factions were already bickering because they regarded Lin Xun as prey that could no longer escape its death. None of them were making any moves on him, and they were instead fighting over the right to slaughter him!
This made his situation appear even more hopeless.
He had been so mighty and fearsome before. He had shown nothing but disdain for everyone and yet not a single person had dared to face him in the Burning Immortal World.
However, the times had changed. After half a year, several cultivators had ascended beyond the boundaries of the five greater cultivation realms and became King experts, allowing them to step foot on an even higher mountain.
No matter how heaven-defying he was, how could Demon God Lin be a match for King experts?
Sure enough, he nearly died from a King expert’s attack when he showed up. Although he managed to survive, he suffered heavy injuries.
Now, he was caught in a desperate situation and was being treated like helpless prey. Was it not tragic to see him like this?
Countless cultivators inwardly sighed. This was probably what it looked like when a tiger left the mountains to be bullied by dogs in the plains.
"Cut the crap, we are the ones who will kill Demon God Lin!"
The Golden Crow Lineage experts’ expressions were very stormy. They refused to continue the standoff and directly took action.
Rumble!
Bright golden flames swept forth, incinerating even space itself. The culprit was an extremely forceful and domineering golden-robed man.
"Impudent!"
"Scram!"
The other factions naturally wouldn’t give up just like that. They also moved at the same time and attacked Lin Xun.
For a time, the area was engulfed by gorgeous treasure light and endless dao arts. Heaven and earth seemed to wail in agony as the wind and clouds stirred in agitation.
It was simply terrifying.
The cultivators in the distance were horrified and nearly choked on their breaths due to shock.
How could Demon God Lin avoid such a crazy bombardment?
Several cultivators who admired Lin Xun couldn't bear to continue watching, feeling extreme sadness and pity for him.
However, an unexpected scene soon followed.
An ocean of restriction undulations suddenly surged from the courtyard where Lin Xun was standing. Arrays flickered to life one after another, neutralizing and swallowing the barrage of incoming attacks.
Omm~
The great array glowed brightly, pulsing with magnificent and dreadful power.
Lin Xun’s figure could no longer be seen. It was clear that he had already hidden himself in the array!
"Damnit!"
"Since when was there an array here?"
The cultivators from the various orthodoxies were first stunned before their faces rapidly darkened and turned white with rage.
This was completely out of their expectations!
The cultivators watching from afar were also dumbstruck.
"Demon God Lin evidently set up an array here long ago. He must have done it in anticipation of something like this happening!"
Several people gasped in amazement, impressed by Lin Xun's meticulousness.
Rumble!
Of course, there was also someone who refused to give up and summoned a treasure to bombard the courtyard.
However, the treasure only caused a few ripples before disappearing into the array like a rock that had been thrown into the sea.
The cultivator had not only failed to do any damage to the formation but even lost a treasure!
As a result, he nearly vomited blood due to anger.
"Allow me!"
A Golden Crow Clan expert roared and flapped his golden wings, releasing a wave of raging fire that poured onto the courtyard.
However, it was also completely ineffective!
Instead, the Golden Crow expert soon ended up panting heavily due to exhaustion.
The experts’ expressions grew increasingly ugly.
Despite being gravely injured, Demon God Lin had somehow managed to escape into the array!
What could they do now?
"Let me try!"
An expert from the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain stepped forward. His pupils suddenly became silver and shot two silver light beams at the array.
A few seconds later, the expert’s face darkened as he gnashed his teeth and said, ''This is the Four Divisions King Array of the Blue Luan Clan. It’s powerful enough to trap even King experts and is extremely difficult to destroy!"
These words caused everyone’s expressions to grow increasingly gloomy and their moods to hit rock bottom. That was a King-level forbidden array! Who could have expected Demon God Lin to still have such a card up his sleeve?
One of the experts couldn’t help but curse in anger, "Abominable!"
They had been presented with such an excellent opportunity to kill Demon God Lin only for this to happen when they were just one step away. How could they not feel frustrated and sullen?
Someone asked, "Wasn’t the power covering the city supposed to suppress King stage power?"
Someone retorted, "A King-level forbidden array is an array, which is completely different from a King stage existence, understand?"
"Stop bickering. Who cares what kind of array it is? Its power should eventually be exhausted as long as we continue to attack it! When that time comes, we will break through!"
A Golden Crow Lineage expert shouted, causing everyone present to fall silent.
It might be the dumbest method, but it was the only method they had at the moment.
"Call over some rune masters as well to study the array. I refuse to believe that we cannot deal with it!"
The various orthodoxies swiftly moved out to begin the operation.
No one dared to waste any time, because the longer they delayed, the more time Demon God Lin would have to recover.
Just the thought of what would happen if he were allowed to recover to tip-top condition was enough to make all of their blood run cold.
It was important to know that the King experts could not enter the city. In other words, the orthodoxies’ greatest force was of no threat here.
Who could stop Demon God Lin when he was in peak condition?
"Quickly, attack with everything you have!"
For a time, endless explosions sounded as numerous cultivators bombarded the array with all of their might to exhaust its power.
When a cultivator approached his limit, someone else would take over to continue the bombardment.
Rumble!
The area was engulfed by endless rumbling, gorgeous fireworks-like explosions, and smoke.
Meanwhile, a group of rune masters were called over to begin deciphering the essence of the Four Divisions King Array.
It was a rather lively scene.
The various orthodoxies’ forces continued to converge towards the area. They were clearly determined to do everything in their power to kill Lin Xun.
The entire Burning Immortal Ancient City was thrown into an uproar due to this event as countless cultivators quickly rushed to the area after hearing the news.
For a time, Lin Xun’s courtyard became the focal point of the entire city!
Could Demon God Lin overcome this calamity?
Could the various orthodoxies break through the Four Divisions Forbidden Array?
These were the questions on everyone’s minds!
However, none of this was of any concern to Lin Xun. After entering the courtyard, he activated the Four Divisions Array and set it to run on full power.
He then took out all of his aeth essences to serve as the power source of the array and entrusted Little Silver to stand guard and keep a close eye on the situation.
He sat down and began to focus on recovering, not wanting to waste any time.
Beside him lay the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan's Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Bamboo, Spirit Treasure Holy Land's Golden Wind Jade Dew, Omega Sword Sect's Spirit Condensation Powder, Heaven Axis Holy Land’s Star Aperture Great Restoration Pill, Longevity Land's Ageless Spring Water, and the Azure Sea Sect's Glistening Chalcedony...
There were also piles and piles of King-grade pills!
Lin Xun was going all out to recover as soon as possible.
After which, his counterattack would begin!
