Chapter 1657: Savage Lone Man

Lin Xun wasn’t given a chance to react at all. In fact, under Gu Liangqu’s terrifying pressure, he couldn’t move in the slightest.

He felt like he was a strand of straw that had fallen into the ocean and was about to be pulverized!

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, and Ling Xiaozi were so angry and frightened that their eyes seemed about to pop out.

Mister Shen’s face also changed drastically, and his heart leapt to his throat. Even he hadn’t expected that Gu Liangqu would come to be so ferocious and unscrupulous.

And to think that he possessed such a heaven-defying item as the Emperor Dao’s True Blood!

This had caught even Mister Shen off guard.

The red-clad woman’s hair danced wildly as she surged with a monstrous murderous aura. Lin Xun had always speculated about her true intention, and she had never truly revealed anything to him.

But if Lin Xun died…

Then she would feel immense regret.

Lin Xun was like the only lamp that illuminated a dark room. If it went out, then the whole room would fall into darkness with it.

And she was that room.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Xun couldn’t escape his final fate, a ray of obscure fluctuation quietly diffused from the token in his hand.

In an instant, the atmosphere seemed to come to a standstill as if frozen. The world fell into a bizarre stasis.

Everyone felt as though everything and all the people around had become a picture.

Even the omnipresent pressure of Gu Liangqu was not spared. It had stagnated right then and there!

And then—

The unkempt figure of a withered, wrinkled old man with a pair of triangular eyes appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the field.

Boom!

The emergence of this figure triggered the disintegration of the bizarre stagnant state, and everything returned to normal.

The crowd was left with the feeling of utter disbelief because the appearance of the withered and unkempt figure was simply too sudden!

“Oh, the Great Emperor Pass? Heh, heheh, let’s see… Since the last time I came here, so long…such a long time has passed?”

The old man sighed repeatedly as he stood with his hands behind his back, treating the experts around him like they didn’t exist.

The most shocking thing was that no matter how hard Gu Liangqu’s terrifying aura tried to reach out and impact the surroundings, it would be dissolved as soon as it neared where the old man stood.

It was just like how snow melted into water or a heavy boulder quietly sank into the sea!

This figure was naturally Lone Man who had led a secluded life at the Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House in the Ziyao Empire.

Gu Liangqu’s pupils constricted when he realized that the old man was not a living person but only a wisp of will.

Moreover, it was impossible to detect his aura, as if this old man had been abandoned by the Great Dao.

And yet, this wisp of will gave off the might of an unshakable heavenly rift that stretched across the ages!

“He…”

Shun Ji, Madam Mu, Ling Xiaozi, and the others gawked with their jaws on the ground, almost unable to believe their eyes.

After such an incredible turn of events had occurred right at the critical juncture of life or death, they were all a bit slow to react.

“So, he still has another trump card …” Mister Shen’s eyes lit up, and his hanging heart fell back into place. Thinking back on the thrilling scene just now, he still had a bit of lingering fear.

“Sure enough, the golden cicada was right. No matter how weak and small the heir of Fangchun Mountain currently is, it’s impossible for him to fall so easily…” murmured the red-clad woman, her beautiful eyes gleaming strangely.

Meanwhile, the other old monsters present were all dumbfounded.

Another sudden turn of events!

Just how many cards is this kid hiding up his sleeves?

At the same time, Lin Xun secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Back in the lower plane, Lone Man had given him a token out of fear that he might encounter an unbeatable opponent in the Blood Kill Battlefield, in which situation he could use the token to save his life.

According to Lone Man, this token could annihilate everything under the Emperor stage, so it must not be used lightly in non-life-threatening situations.

The reason was simple: it could only be utilized once.

But later, in the Blood Kill Battlefield, Lin Xun had been able to easily resolve every danger he encountered, so he hadn’t gotten the chance to use it…

Until now, when it had finally come in handy!

“Tsk, no wonder you had to resort to me. Being bullied by a half-step Emperor expert when you’re only a supreme True Saint. Very dangerous indeed.”

Lone Man stood in the air as his triangular eyes swept around the entire field before eventually landing on Gu Liangqu. With disdain, he sneered:

“Then again, this half-step Emperor is quite a shameless one. Cultivating his whole life to get to this point, only to personally deal with a little kid. Does he feel no shame at all?”

Gu Liangqu’s face sank as he said out icily, “Fellow Daoist, you are in my way!”

This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance where he had to use the Emperor Dao’s True Blood to draw out a sliver of hope. How could he possibly be willing to stop there?

He had already paid for it with everything he had and offended everyone. There was already no turning back at this point. Even if a god or a buddha descended to stand in his way, he would not hesitate to fight them with all his might!

As a matter of fact, the moment’s Gu Liangqu’s voice dropped, he had already made his move.

Boom!

The silver halberd shot out like a furious dragon sweeping across the sky. Accompanied by rumbling dao sounds, it charged forth murderously.

Just looking at it from afar gave many old monsters chills!

But in the face of this terrifying strike, Lone Man grabbed a dirty and greasy spoon out of nowhere and casually smashed it out.

His movement was as skillful as a seasoned cook flipping a pan and stir-frying vegetables.

Clang!

A deafening noise exploded. Jaws dropped as the silver halberd was actually smashed back, buzzing fiercely and it almost flew out of Gu Liangqu’s grip.

Shaken from head to toe from the impact, Gu Liangqu staggered back several steps, his face flushed with horror.

How can a strand of will have such power?

This scruffy old man couldn’t…couldn’t possibly be a true Emperor?

The crowd of old monsters, including Mister Shen and the red-clad woman, all felt dizzy at this moment.

Using a spoon to force back a quasi-Emperor who was fused with the Emperor Dao’s True Blood?

This was simply bizarre to the extreme!

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but click his tongue when he found out that the grumpy and weird old man was actually so strong and ferocious.

“Your struggle is all but futile, for you are yet an Emperor. The Emperor Dao’s True Blood that you’re drawing power from is treacherous and sinister, evil and hostile. Unless my knowledge fails me, it should be a strand of true blood left by the Dark Blood Underworld Emperor when he had just entered the Emperor stage. Otherwise, had it been one left by an Emperor who had attained ‘No-Form, No-Law,’ then perhaps this old man would have to take it seriously.”

As Lone Man laughed coldly, there was undisguised contempt on his wrinkled face.

His comment was no less than a sky-shattering stone to the old monsters present that pinned them to the spot with shock.

So many mysteries can be figured out through just a wisp of Emperor Dao’s True Blood?

And what is the No-Form, No-Law phase of the Emperor stage?

All of this seemed to silently indicate that Lone Man was most likely a true Emperor existence, one that was acquainted with the Dark Blood Underworld Emperor!

Otherwise, how could he know so much?

After all, this was only a strand of his will. How terrifying would it be if his original self was here?

“How dare you speak so brazenly when you’re just a strand of will?!”

Boom!

Gu Liangqu attacked again. As his aura climbed to a new degree of horror, a blood light drifted out from his head and intimidated the world with the power of the Emperor stage permeating it.

Waving his halberd, he violently charged out.

“Your obsession has become your heart demon. Pinning the hope of becoming an Emperor on vain external objects, how ridiculous!” scoffed Lone Man, who swiftly took a step forward.

Thud!

Heaven and earth trembled as an invisible and terrifying force swept out and enveloped Gu Liangqu entirely.

At the same time, Lone Man strode forth and smashed down his spoon again.

Bam bam bam...... In a series of dull sounds, something unimaginable unfolded in front of everyone’s eyes. With each hit of the spoon, Gu Liangqu’s aura collapsed and his physical form shrank by a little.

When his might was completely smashed away, he had shrunk to only three inches in length, and was covered within the spoon like a grasshopper.

No matter how loud he shrieked and roared, he was unable to escape!

The whole area fell into a dead silence. The old monsters gasped and swallowed hard. Just what kind of…a terrifying existence is this man?

The number one expert of the Great Emperor Pass, who has also borrowed the power of an Emperor Dao’s True Blood, doesn’t even have the power to struggle in front of him!

This was beyond what anyone could ever imagine.

And, what was his relationship with Lin Xun?

Lin Xun himself currently couldn’t stop his cheeks from twitching.

This old man! If this is only a wisp of his will, then just how powerful is his true cultivation?

Inexplicably, he was reminded of something that Blood Kill King Zhao Tailai had once said:

“He is whom I was referring to, the only old monster who has abandoned the great dao and cultivated himself. Even though he has no cultivation base, no one in the lower domain world can kill him!”

In short, the path of Lone Man must have something to do with abandoning the Great Dao and cultivating alone. It was no wonder that no one could see through his cultivation.

Because he had long forsaken the grand path that everyone else sought!

The only thing that kept silence from reigning was Gu Liangqu’s constant roar. Still being refined in the bowl of the spoon, his voice was filled with anger, unwillingness, and fear.

He probably hadn’t expected that he would be defeated so completely and miserably!

Lone Man contemplated a little and sighed, “Killing you is easy, letting you live is difficult. So be it, seeing as this is the Great Emperor Pass, let’s follow the rules and suppress you for ten thousand years first!”

Boom!

As he shook the spoon and made a grabbing gesture with his other hand, Gu Liangqu was compressed into a ‘bead’ that was surrounded by floating, obscure dao lights.

Then, Lone Man seemed to sense something, and he blurted out in a surprised voice, “A residual wisp of the Heartless Demon Emperor’s will still remains? To think that a ruthless killing god whose hands are stained with blood, could actually be so madly passionate in love…”

Saying that, he flicked his finger, and the bead that was Gu Liangqu shot out and disappeared into the vast Great Emperor Pass.

Without a doubt, Gu Liangqu had been completely suppressed!

This made many people lament in their hearts. How could they not, after having witnessed the number one expert of the Great Emperor Pass fall into this state?
