Chapter 1708: Black-Robed Sword Saint Gu Cangxin

Therefore, after identifying Lin Xun, the second group of cultivators fearlessly displayed overbearing attitudes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xun casually said, "Yan Chunjun was just as brazen as you guys, and he ended up dead. Are you sure you want to repeat the same mistake?"

His words caused the cultivators\' expressions to change and fluctuate indeterminately.

Only then did they realize that while they could rely on their status to bully some tough guys in the Ancient Nebula Road, it clearly wasn\'t going to work on Lin Xun, who had killed Yan Chunjun.

Since they weren\'t fools, they decided to take a step back and make a compromise: it was fine for Lin Xun to stay, but they weren\'t going to leave.

In other words, they were willing to split the opportunities.

They believed that this concession sufficiently displayed their sincerity.

However, Lin Xun responded with a single word, "Scram!"

His reply coupled with his nonchalant expression made the cultivators furious. It was too much of him to tell them to scram!

To make the cultivators even more dumbfounded, Lin Xun directly attacked without warning.

It was no longer a matter of etiquette. He was clearly unconcerned about the factions behind them!

Without hesitation, they responded in kind.

Rumble!

The battle swiftly broke out only to end in an unsurprising manner as the disciples from the Ancient Nebula Road factions were taken down by Lin Xun in rapid succession.

After all, had Lin Xun ever bowed to any faction since entering the Ancient Wasteland Domain?

It was so in the past, it was so today, and it would be so in the future!

"They aren\'t stupid, but their dao hearts were blinded by greed. Moreover, they\'re unaware of your past and your true combat ability. Otherwise, they would not have dared to provoke you."

A\'hu said, "Honestly, there are far too few people like you in the world. Everyone in the Kunlun Dominion knows that Yan Chunjun is a disciple of Heaven and Earth Dao Court. Hence, they have to first weigh the consequences before deciding to oppose him. At the end of the day, most people will choose to withdraw yet you are completely unconcerned about such things."

"It\'s not that I don\'t care, but that is simply how I have always lived."

Lin Xun casually continued, "If the day comes when I have to grit my teeth, bow my head, and give in because of the other party\'s background or identity, I will no longer be me.

"If I can\'t win, I won\'t be ashamed to run away and lay low. But when I can win, I will never allow my values to be compromised.

"Of course, I also understand that beating the younger experts will incur the wrath of the older experts. However, that doesn\'t matter because I will sooner or later trample those old bastards under my feet as well!"

A\'hu\'s beautiful eyes shone. She knew in her heart that this wasn\'t mere talk. Lin Xun would indeed do as he had said.

When he first arrived in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, Lin Xun feared no one and made enemies everywhere. He had been regarded as a thorn in the eyes of countless factions.

Yet, was there anyone in the present-day Ancient Wasteland Domain who dared to underestimate him?

Even the old monsters had no choice but to lower their heads and compromise with him!

Why was this so?

It was because Lin Xun had attained supreme status among the Ancient Wasteland Domain\'s Saints and the power and foundations he possessed would make any sect fearful of him!

Wasn\'t even the mighty Golden Crow Lineage felled by Lin Xun?

A\'hu grinned and said, "That\'s why I said you\'re the only one in this world who isn\'t afraid of anything, which makes the disciples of those famous sects appear rather foolish.

"They believe, deep down, that status and background are a strong deterrent that can intimidate opponents whose backgrounds aren\'t as good as theirs. However, they had to run into someone like you who doesn\'t play by the rules. In the end, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck."

Lin Xun couldn\'t help but laugh. "Are you praising me or insulting me?"

A\'hu smilingly answered, "I\'m merely explaining why those experts seem like fools."

……

Subsequently, groups of cultivators appeared one after another.

Sometimes, they numbered as few as five or six. At other times, they numbered more than a dozen.

There was no lack of smart individuals among them who immediately became wary and didn\'t dare to carelessly approach upon seeing Lin Xun and A\'hu.

However, they didn\'t leave either.

There were also some who didn\'t fully believe in the rumors and thought they could rely on their status and numbers. However, all of them were killed by Lin Xun without exception.

"Something is wrong. It\'s been less than a day but so many people have come already. Could it be the handiwork of that guy from the Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan?"

A\'hu frowned. By this juncture, she had already realized that the news had not only leaked but also spread very quickly. This was why there were so many experts.

"Setting the wolves against the tigers?"

Lin Xun\'s black eyes flashed in thought.

"I\'m afraid that\'s the case. He can\'t beat us, but is also unwilling to give up on the opportunity. As such, he has to resort to certain tactics."

A\'hu said, "Once the more problematic individuals appear and take the lead, we will definitely become the public enemy number one. Things will then become troublesome."

Lin Xun said without hesitation, "Then we will yield this location."

"Yield?"

A\'hu was taken aback.

"Of course, we\'re not truly giving it up."

Lin Xun grinned but didn\'t clarify.

……

In an area far away from the black fog ravine, Yan Xiu, the green-haired woman, and others were secretly hiding.

They watched as group after group of cultivators appeared and rushed toward the black fog ravine like the tide.

They also saw some cultivators returning empty-handed.

One of them remarked in bewilderment, "How is that dog couple so powerful? I can\'t believe that even so many experts have failed to take even a slice of the pie from them."

"Someone who can kill Yan Chunjun and force me to retreat is definitely no ordinary character."

Yan Xiu was unfazed. "However, with so many experts now gathered near the ravine, the situation is growing increasingly unfavorable to Lin Xun\'s group!"

Everyone\'s eyes lit up.

When surrounded by a pack of wolves, even Lin Xun would feel pressured no matter how strong he was.

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Yan Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

In the distance, a golden sword streaked across the sky, carrying a group of figures.

At the head of the group was a black-clothed young man with a cold and stony expression. His hand rested on the scabbard slung across his waist, and his presence felt as immovable as a mountain.

Swish!

The black-clothed young man seemed to notice something and glanced at Yan Xiu\'s hiding spot.

Although it was merely a glance, it felt as intimidating and frightening as the sharpest sword in the world.

Yan Xiu\'s companions felt a chill in their hearts.

Even Yan Xiu tensed slightly.

Fortunately, the black-clothed young man withdrew his gaze and disappeared into the horizon with his group.

"Gu Cangxin! To think that even he has come..."

Yan Xiu\'s heart churned like a stormy sea.

He recognized the black-clothed man. He was from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court and was a peerless swordsman who was already famous in the Ancient Nebula Road five hundred years ago.

Every hundred years, the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings would undergo a reevaluation

Despite this, Gu Cangxin was always among the top hundred rankers.

In the most recent ranking, he had even achieved the fifty-third position!

It must be known that the higher the ranking, the more intense and cruel the competition would be. The slightest difference in strength could easily result in a completely different ranking.

Gu Cangxin had ascended to the Supreme Big Saint Stage five hundred years ago. Over the past five hundred years, his ranking had continuously improved in a terrifying manner.

"It\'s him!"

The others were also shocked when they realized the black-clothed man\'s identity.

Someone worriedly asked, "With Gu Cangxin\'s arrival, he will probably easily suppress Lin Xun and that woman. However, who would dare to snatch the opportunity from Gu Cangxin?"

"Although Gu Cangxin is powerful, Lin Xun is no pushover. Don\'t forget that he even killed Yan Chunjun. I hope that he and Gu Cangxin will fight till they are both heavily injured so we can reap the benefits."

Iciness rose in Yan Xiu\'s eyes. "Later, we will move closer and wait for the perfect moment to strike!"

……

Next to the black fog ravine, Lin Xun sensed something and suddenly peered into the distance.

A golden sword pierced through the sky and rapidly approached. Gu Cangxin and his group stood atop it like immortals descending upon the earth.

The expressions of the countless experts who had gathered in the vicinity immediately changed at the sight of Gu Cangxin as they began to grow agitated.

"Black-Robed Sword Saint Gu Cangxin!"

"He...he has also come to the Kunlun Dominion? Why haven\'t I heard any news about him?"

Several gasps rang out.

Due to Gu Cangxin\'s reputation, he immediately became the focal point of the area when he arrived.

No one had expected the arrival of the famous genius sword cultivator known as the Black-Robed Sword Saint.

Moreover, he had brought a group of disciples from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun also learned about the black-robed man\'s identity from A\'hu. He couldn\'t help but raise his eyebrows and inwardly mutter, "How is he still stuck at the Supreme Big Saint Stage after five hundred years? Does he intend to forever stay on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings? Or has he already lost the chance to advance to the Saint-King Stage?"

Regardless of which it was, Lin Xun wasn\'t the least bit impressed by someone who had taken a full five hundred years to build up his reputation and strength.

It must be noted that Lin Xun\'s total cultivation time was nowhere near a hundred years!

Such a huge contrast would instinctively make one think that Gu Cangxin\'s cultivation was indeed rather shabby.

However, Lin Xun was unaware that in the Ancient Nebula Road, someone who could maintain a top hundred ranking in the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings was considered an unmatched talent!

After all, it was the Supreme Big Saint Stage that most of the older generation couldn\'t even touch in their lifetimes.

It could only be said that Lin Xun understood far too little about the Ancient Nebula Road and had naturally arrived at this misconception because he could only use himself as a benchmark.
