Chapter 1071 At Your Beck and Call



Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lin Xun watched the duel on the distant battlefield while digesting his previous battle experiences.

Just as everyone had speculated, he had been holding back since the start of the Little Giants List Competition!

Whether it was climbing the mountain and killing to guard the peak, or the fierce duels in the first and second round, none of them had pushed Lin Xun to the point of giving his all.

Neither Qing Wenjun, nor Gou Yanzhen, nor Li Qingping, nor Bi Dongliu had been capable of such a feat!

Perhaps they were considered the world\'s top geniuses.

But to Lin Xun, they did not pose a threat.

It was only in the face-off with Jin Muyun had he erupted, using not only Yazi’s Rage but also the Sacred Combat Art.

On top of that, he had activated the true power of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art and the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations!

This was a deed that he had never even done before.

The reason was simple: it was only until recently that Lin Xun had grasped the essence of these two arts with the aid of the soul of the primordial spirit.

Take the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art for example, its power was unfathomable as an inheritance from the Omega Secret-Realm, and by bringing the axioms of the nine punches together, one would be able to unravel its ultimate power—

The Heavenshaking Punch!

The skill was already extremely powerful despite being limited by Lin Xun’s cultivation. If unleashed by a top expert, just one punch would shake the heaven and earth and kill the enemy as easy as tearing a sheet of paper.

As for the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, he had learned it from the Nine Tablets of the Dragon Gate in the Ziyao Empire’s Rune Master Association.

The inheritance had turned into a bizarre and ancient word: Tribulation, which had been floating in Lin Xun\'s sea of consciousness.

Lin Xun had cultivated this art for many years, but it was only recently that he barely grasped all the mysteries behind the nine transformations.

It was only then did he realize that using all nine together would bring about unimaginable power.

He even suspected that this combination was the true meaning of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations. Fusing the essence of the nine transformations and melding them to use in battles had resulted in a might that startled even Lin Xun.

"I’ve learned the essence of the Heavenshaking Punch by heart. The only way to improve its power is through cultivation and the power of the great dao. Meanwhile, my mastery of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations is still a distance from full comprehension. Improving its power requires even more time."

Lin Xun summarized as he quietly pondered.

"With the Broken Blade’s power and the fusion of water dao meaning, Yazi’s Rage, and the Sacred Combat Art, my Birth Destruction Slash is indeed super powerful. However, this is not the limit of this skill…"

Then, Lin Xun took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

No one knew that he still had an untouched trump card, and he would only use it as a last resort!

……

In the ring, the duel between Jin Muyun and Xiao Cangtian was nearing its end.

Just as everyone had feared, Jin Muyun’s unstable mental state from his recent experience with death showed during the match. He was steadily suppressed by Xiao Cangtian after fewer than five hundred moves.

By the 800th exchange, he no longer had the power to counterattack and could only passively parry.

In the end, he was defeated.

There was no miracle. He was knocked flying by Xiao Cangtian\'s strike and coughed up blood when he hit the ground.

Everyone sighed. Being killed by Lin Xun had undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Jin Muyun.

Otherwise, even if he was unable to win, he still wouldn’t have lost so quickly.

But to everyone\'s surprise, despite Jin Muyun’s sorry state and bleak face when he admitted his defeat, his eyes were bright and firm. He showed resolution and was no longer dispirited.

"No wonder he is ranked among the top supreme geniuses. He actually used this battle to gradually dispel his heart demon and temper himself. Looks like he’ll soon transform again!"

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes as he sensed the subtle changes in Jin Muyun.

He had to admit that Jin Muyun was indeed extraordinary for making his way into the top four. He was not someone that a general heaven pride could compare to.

However, this did not have any effect on Lin Xun. He believed that he would be able to defeat Jin Muyun again even after the latter’s next transformation.

“You aren’t half bad. I actually benefited at your expense this time. Let’s have a rematch in the future when we have a chance,” Xiao Cangtian said and left the ring.

Jin Muyun silently left as well.

His expression was calm and subdued. It was not depression, but a kind of self-restraint after undergoing introspection and refinement.

“Very good!” exclaimed an elder of the Omega Sword Sect whose eyes lit up when he saw Jin Muyun’s change. "A precious sword is only sharpened through trials. If he can recover from the shadow of death, he is destined to have a shocking transformation. This may just be a blessing from a disaster!"

This comment immediately earned a bunch of envious gazes.

The other experts of the Omega Sword Sect were beaming with joy.

But in that moment, A’lu sarcastic voice rang out, “If so, shouldn\'t you all be grateful to Demon God Lin? Without his personal guidance, where would Jin Muyun get his opportunity to transform?"

The elated expressions immediately became ugly upon these words. Their noses wrinkled in fury as they were filled with the urge to risk their lives in a battle with A’lu.

Seeing this, the other cultivators nearby could feel a headache coming. This savage person\'s mouth is purely insidious!

However, Jin Muyun\'s response was beyond everyone\'s expectation.

When he heard A’lu\'s words, he seemed slightly stunned. Then, he looked at the mountain peak in the distance where Lin Xun was and said, "This fellow cultivator is right. I do have to thank you, Demon God Lin. My experience with death gave me the opportunity to be reborn from the fire."

The entire area went silent as the crowd struggled to believe their ears.

Even the people of the Omega Sword Sect revealed puzzled and upset expressions.

"However, the enmity between you and I cannot be changed, and is destined to be unresolved in this lifetime," stated Jin Muyun matter-of-factly as if he was talking about someone else’s problem. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word. After we leave the Immortal Forbidden Land, I will stay as far as possible from any place where you are present!”

This was his promise for the ‘three moves’ bet.

No one had expected that Jin Muyun would take it so seriously and be so open about it without a hint of anger and frustration.

He had really changed!

Lin Xun keenly sensed that Jin Muyun\'s state of mind and bearing had been changing constantly, becoming more controlled and calm.

He was like a sword that had been refined thousands of times. It concealed all the sharpness in its blade and instead gave off an unfathomable might.

"That couldn\'t be better." Lin Xun nodded.

In truth, the ones he hated and resented were only Yun Qingbai and his accomplices.

Lin Xun harbored no killing intent for Jin Muyun, especially when the latter was so open, honest, and serious about carrying out his promise. Lin Xun found himself approving of Jin Muyun more and more.

He was almost certain that after the great age arrived, it would be impossible for Jin Muyun to be mediocre with his amazing talent.

Meanwhile, the people of the Omega Sword Sect were unreconciled to the fact that Jin Muyun would follow through with his promise because it meant that he had no intention to take revenge on Lin Xun.

If it were them, this would be impossible!

They hated Lin Xun’s guts. This had to do with Yun Qingbai, as well as with Kong Ling and the other Omega Sword Sect geniuses who had been defeated by Lin Xun before.

……

The fourth match was Lin Xun versus Sword Demon Ye Chen.

Regardless of how bewildering the previous battle had been, at this moment, all the discussions and movements in the field had come to a halt.

All eyes were unanimously locked on the battlefield!

Sword Demon Ye Chen had never lost a match. His worst so far was only fighting Xiao Cangtian to a draw.

Demon God Lin was even more abnormal. Since the start of the Little Giants List Competition, no matter how dangerous the situations had been, he had turned all of them into complete victories!

No one could miss out on their duel, especially Lin Xun’s enemies. They stared intently at the ring, and needless to say, they were silently praying for Ye Chen to win this duel and end Lin Xun’s undefeated record!

Someone from the older generation sighed, "Finally, we’ll get to see the full capabilities of this Demon God fellow…"

Everyone else shared the same feeling. Before Lin Xun’s match with Jin Muyun, no one had expected that he had always reserved a part of his strength.

And even though that match had let the crowd realize how powerful Lin Xun was, there had been only three moves from the beginning to the end. Therefore, no one could accurately assess the extent of his full strength.

In a nutshell, no one had ever been able to force Demon God Lin into a desperate situation, so no one knew exactly where his limits were.

Now with Sword Demon Ye Chen’s help, perhaps the answer would be revealed!

“Let me say this again, I won’t show mercy.” Clad in violet attire, Ye Chen’s eyes surged with the vision of thousands of swords, like a sword emperor looking over the four seas. He stared at Lin Xun, his expression calm and solemn.

“If you do, you will lose very quickly.” Lin Xun wore a faint smile. He had been looking forward to a face-off with Ye Chen. Only a character of this caliber could fully ignite the fighting spirit in him.

If Ye Chen was the emperor of swords, then Lin Xun was a lawless demonic god whose every move was overbearing.

Their contrasting auras brought different feelings to the audience, but everyone was certain about one thing - these two were both terrifying!

"Then show me what you got." Ye Chen concluded the trash talk and clenched his fist.

Amidst a resounding clang and billowing violet intent, a curved sword with the bearing of a dragon appeared. Its aura shot through the sky and overwhelmed the space it occupied, striking fear into all the creatures within.

In an instant, Ye Chen\'s momentum climbed to a peak, his black hair dancing wildly. He was like a lone dazzling sun in the sky.

Upon this sight, Lin Xun’s eyes brightened. He had no intention to hide anything as he said, “I might as well tell you this, I still got a trump card that I’ve never used before. If you can force me into using it, then I’ll be at your beck and call whenever you need a drinking partner.”

These plain and nonchalant words could not hide the arrogant attitude behind them.
