Chapter 40 The Hidden Trick in the Elixir
Chapter 40 The Hidden Trick in the Elixir
The two assassins felt a destructive force descend upon them, and before they could react, they were struck in the back by an incredibly powerful punch.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two muffled thuds.
Both of them had protective spiritual energy, which was easily shattered like paper. Their backs exploded, and blood and bone fragments splattered everywhere, killing them instantly!
Two more Spirit Sea Realm cultivators have died!
In the blink of an eye, only one of the six Lin family assassins remained.
"You bastard! You've successfully enraged me!"
Watching Lu Xuan kill someone right under his nose, Lin Pojun was completely enraged.
"Die!"
He roared, his spiritual power surged, and the illusory soul platform behind him trembled violently as an invisible wave of divine soul energy locked onto Lu Xuan.
"Blazing Sun Palm!"
With a single palm strike, spiritual energy transformed into a gigantic fiery hand, pressing down upon Lu Xuan.
This palm strike not only contained immense spiritual power, but also carried the unique soul pressure characteristic of the Soul Platform Realm!
Wherever it passed, the air distorted, and vegetation turned to charcoal.
Faced with Lin Pojun's furious attack, Lu Xuan dared not be careless.
After all, he had only recently broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm. Although his cultivation had progressed rapidly with the help of pills, pushing his cultivation to the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm in just a few days, the gap in realm compared to the Soul Platform Realm was still there.
Especially since the other party had learned from Li Tian's experience, their soul was on high alert, and they were protecting their sea of consciousness, making it difficult for him to succeed for the time being.
"Good timing! Let me see how much of a gap there is between me and the Soul Platform!"
Lu Xuan sneered, and the Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture within his body circulated wildly, his spiritual sea churning, and all his power gathered in his right arm.
"The Nine Forms of Haotian, Earth-Splitting!"
He unleashed a punch, its force like a dragon, directly clashing with the giant fiery palm.
"BOOM!!!"
A deafening roar.
Where fists and palms collided, a terrifying energy storm erupted, uprooting the surrounding ancient trees.
The ground was blasted into a huge crater.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Lu Xuan retreated more than ten steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his internal energy surged.
Lin Pojun, on the other hand, only swayed slightly before regaining his balance.
The power of the Soul Platform Realm is on full display!
"You can withstand one of my blows and survive?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Pojun's eyes, but his killing intent intensified immediately.
"This child's talent is too monstrous; he must not be allowed to live!"
He was just about to press his advantage and completely eliminate this threat.
But Lu Xuan casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and instead of showing any fear, he revealed a strange smile.
"Still too weak. There's still a considerable gap between us and those at the Soul Platform Realm."
"but……"
Seeing Lin Pojun about to make another move, Lu Xuan suddenly asked a question.
"Lin Pojun, do you know how you broke through?"
Lin Pojun paused, his brows furrowing.
"What do you mean? You're about to die, are you trying to stall for time?"
"I may tell you the truth, the reason I broke through was because the patriarch spent a huge sum of money to bid for the divine pill."
"That's a perfect Soul Condensation Breakthrough Pill, a divinely granted opportunity."
At this point, a hint of arrogance flashed across Lin Pojun's face.
"It was because I took it that I rose to the top and became one of the strongest in the Great Yan Dynasty."
"And you, you will be the first withered bone beneath my feet after I ascend to the Soul Platform!"
Looking at Lin Pojun's arrogant expression, Lu Xuan's smile grew even brighter.
"A divine pill? A stroke of luck? Heh..."
"Then do you know who refined this divine pill?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Pojun was somewhat stunned, clearly not following Lu Xuan's train of thought.
"Isn't this the elixir refined by that mysterious master from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion?"
"Who in the capital doesn't know about this?"
"Are you trying to say that you created it?"
Lin Pojun chuckled.
He stopped wasting words, and his spiritual power surged again, clearly preparing to deliver a fatal blow and end this farce once more.
However, just as he activated the power of his Soul Platform, Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand and clenched it in the air towards Lin Pojun.
"burst!"
Lu Xuan uttered a single word.
then……
Words become law!
Lin Pojun, who had been brimming with menacing aura and murderous intent, suddenly froze.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain emanating from the depths of his soul, which exploded in his mind without warning.
"what!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out, echoing throughout the entire Demon Hunter Forest.
Lin Pojun clutched his head tightly with both hands, as if his spine had been removed, and collapsed to the ground, rolling around frantically.
His once solid soul platform now seemed to have been split apart from the inside by something.
Black cracks spread outwards.
The pain of having one's soul torn apart is a thousand times more terrifying than being slowly sliced to death.
"Ahhh, my head! My soul platform!"
"What's going on? What on earth is happening?!"
Lin Pojun's face was contorted, blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and he no longer had any of the prestige of a Soul Platform Realm expert.
At that moment, he was like a fish struggling to its death on a chopping board.
Lin Tianjie, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Lin Pojun, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, his mind completely blank.
How could Uncle Po Jun, who was so imposing and ready to take Lu Xuan's life just a moment ago, suddenly turn into this?
"Uncle Po Jun? What's wrong?!"
Lin Tianjie screamed in terror and tried to help him up, but was forced to retreat by the chaotic aura emanating from Lin Pojun.
Just then, a cold sword light flashed.
"Pfft!"
The last surviving Spirit Sea Realm assassin was in a state of extreme shock and had no time to react before Lu Xuan slit his throat with a single sword strike.
Blood gushed out, and the body fell to the ground.
At this point, apart from Lin Tianjie and Lin Pojun rolling on the ground, the entire Spirit Sea Realm assassins who surrounded and killed Lu Xuan were wiped out!
Lu Xuan casually flicked the blood off his sword and walked step by step toward Lin Tianjie.
He walked slowly.
But every step he took felt like stepping on Lin Tianjie's heartbeat, filling him with a suffocating fear.
"You...you stay away!"
Lin Tianjie's legs went weak as he watched Lu Xuan approach like the Grim Reaper, and he staggered backward.
"I am the young master of the Lin family! My father is the Prime Minister!"
"If you dare touch me, the Lin family will never let you get away with it!"
"At a time like this, you're still trying to intimidate me by bringing up the Lin family?"
Lu Xuan gave a disdainful sneer.
"Lin Tianjie, you don't actually think that after all I've done, I'd be afraid of your old, necromantic father, do you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan appeared in front of Lin Tianjie in a flash.
Lin Tianjie was terrified and instinctively drew his sword to defend himself.
Although he possessed the cultivation level of the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he mostly relied on pills to reach that level, and he lived a life of luxury and neglected to gain experience.
Faced with Lu Xuan's fierce and battle-hardened offensive, those fancy moves were simply no match for him.
