The fact that Lin Xun was safe and sound angered Withered Vine Old Monster so much that he almost crushed his own teeth, crooked his nose, and charged into mid-air.

Bastard, if the restraining power of the ancient formation didnt kill you then I will have to personally get rid of you! His voice was ice-cold.

His sturdy and thick body coiled like the body of a black dragon, filled with two terrifying contrasting powers.

The void quaked and collapsed from the monstrous aura of destruction. This was the power of a half-step king. It could stir the wind and clouds in all directions.

The old monster seems to hate that kid to the core and wants to eliminate him at all costs!

Many experts avoided the shockwaves in horror one after another.

Big Brother Lin Xun is in trouble! Xia Xiaochongs hands and feet went cold, and her pure and beautiful face was scrunched up with worry.

Its over for him. Withered Vine Old Monster is enraged. No one can save that kid now. Little lady, lets quickly get away from here together! The pig monster seemed to have no sense of justice.

He shamelessly and heartlessly wanted to escape and even wanted to bring Xia Xiaochong with him.

It was at that moment when a calm voice rang in his ears, Okay, run. But dont let me catch you.

The pig monster went stiff and slowly lifted his head. To his shocked horror, the ark that was controlled by Lin Xun flashed under the night sky and miraculously evaded Withered Vine Old Monsters terrifying attack.

Lin Xun appeared unbelievably calm and composed.

But what made the pig monster the most shocked was that a wisp of spirit power shot out from the ark like a tangible substance and locked onto him.

He didnt dare to budge an inch. If he dared to escape, then he would have to face unimaginable consequences!

Young Master, I was just joking just now. How would I do something so disloyal and despicable? Please dont misunderstand and distract yourself from dealing with Withered Vine Old Monster! the pig monster reassured, patting his chest.

Hmph! Lin Xun paid no attention to the immoral pig monster and concentrated on the battle.

Boom!

Amidst the crumbling void, Withered Vine Old Monster soared into the air and followed up with another ruthless strike.

His attacks were domineering and violent. Its body swept across the air like a dragon slamming its tail. The void collapsed where it passed and berserk waves of light engulfed the area, tearing the clouds and sky.

All experts were terror-stricken at the sight. Withered Vine Old Monster was undoubtedly strong. He demonstrated that he deserved his reputation as one of the strongest half-step kings.

They all suspect that the old monster was already at the door of the Life Death Stage and one step away from becoming a true king!

Lin Xun steered the Grand Universe Ark with incredible control, narrowly escaping the dangers every single time. It was as though he was navigating through the stormy seas.

That was the magic of the Grand Universe Ark. Without the ancient formation suppressing it anymore, it could evade even the attack of a true Life Death Stage King, let alone Withered Vine Old Monsters.

That is definitely an amazing treasure with magical power!

Many experts couldnt help but gasp in surprise. Could the kid have managed to escape the attack from the ancient formation by relying on the treasure ship?

With that thought, many peoples eyes blazed covetously.

In mid-air, Withered Vine Old Monster grew increasingly enraged. His face was livid, and his body was erupting with murderous intent.

He had been attacking with all his strength, yet not only did he fail to kill Lin Xun, Lin Xun avoided the attacks again and again. How would he not be infuriated?

Who was he?

The number one monster-beast in Ziniu Mountain, a half-step king, a cultivator who had ruled the area for years. He attached no importance to even ordinary half-step kings.

But now, he had to mobilize all his strength to deal with a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage. If word got out, wouldnt his reputation be ruined?

Die!

As he roared at the top of his voice, black and white qi rushed out from his thick body. One represented the power of life and the other represented the qi of death. They integrated until formed a bizarre arc of black and white light and swept across the sky.

So terrifying.

The experts in the distance madly retreated. Within a radius of a hundred miles, everything except for the Fallen Star Peak was utterly obliterated. The mountains in other areas were crushed and collapsed, and the ancient trees were uprooted and pulverized to smithereens.

The mighty power of a half-step king had been vividly displayed!

However

Even that earthshaking power failed to kill Lin Xun. He managed to avoid it with the Grand Universe Ark.

How is that possible?

All experts were stupefied. Lin Xun had greatly overturned their assumptions. A Heaven Ascension Stage teenager was able to repeatedly avoid the deadly strikes of a half-step king. His ability was beyond their imaginations.

Could the treasure ship be a saint treasure? Some cultivators speculated, their hearts shaking. Only that explanation could explain the scene they had witnessed.

Little trash, I dont believe that I cant kill you! Withered Vine Old Monsters furious roar was like a rumble of thunder, quaking the nine heavens and causing a grip of fear in the nearby creatures.

He was the most furious he had ever been. His bloodshot eyes were growing redder and redder.

Scenes of destruction were happening in every direction, the sky was splitting in every corner, and dust storms were forming all over the area.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun made a clear whistling sound. Fellow cultivators, I feel quite guilty for triggering the ancient formation before and sweeping you all into the chaos so I have decided to lure the old thing away so everyone has an opportunity to ascend the mountain. Treat this as my compensation!

All the experts blinked blankly. Why would that bad kid be so kind?

However, their hearts fluttered. If the Withered Vine Old Monster was gone, they would indeed have the rare opportunity to climb the mountains and perhaps the chance to seize some fortune.

Everyone, this is a trap! That kid is heartless and bold. His words might seem beautiful, but in truth, he is only saying for Withered Vine Old Monster to hear it! someone snorted coldly.

Sure enough, Withered Vine Old Monsters darkened at Lin Xuns words.

Do you think you can lure me away and give the benefits to those guys? How arrogant! Withered Vine Old Monster bellowed.

As his mouth widened, a black and white spear shot through the air with a swoosh, speeding towards the Grand Universe Ark.

Chi!

The void split apart. The black and white light circulating the spear seemed to possess a terrifying power capable of piercing through all things.

However, Lin Xun had no intention of being entangled with him any longer. Suddenly, he steered the Grand Universe Ark away from everyone.

Do you think you can run?! Withered Vine Old Monster was on the verge of going berserk with anger. If he let the kid escape under the gazes of everyone then he, a half-step king, would become a laughingstock of the world.

At the same time, Lin Xun reminded everyone, You only have one chance! Make good use of it!

All cultivators eyes flashed and their expressions changed. They intently watched Withered Vine Old Monster to see whether he would indeed abandon the Fallen Star Peak and go after Lin Xun.

Withered Vine Old Monster felt his lungs almost rupturing from anger as he deliberated whether it was worth chasing after and killing Lin Xun.

If he went after him, then he was allowing the other experts to take advantage of the opportunity to climb up Fallen Star Peak.

But if he didnt go after him, how could he vent his anger and hatred?

What to do?

The dilemma was making him go crazy. That kid is too cunning, despicable and shameless. He used the ancient formation to restrain me before and now he tempted the other cultivators to go after the Fallen Star Peak that I am determined to get my hands on!

Old man, you were very impressive before! What happened now? Come on, lets change to another location for a duel, Lin Xun yelled, his voice reeking of provocation.

All the cultivators gasped. That kid is too crazy. He dares to challenge a half-step king! Isnt he worried at all?

Withered Vine Old Monster erupted with anger. His long and thick torso catapulted into the air and sped after Lin Xun.

Haha, you listened to me. Not bad, not bad. When I kill you later, I can let you die a dignified death. Lin Xuns leisurely voice once again reverberated throughout the area.

But as he spoke, he continued operating the Grand Universe Ark at full speed.

Die! Withered Vine Old Monsters furious voice shook the world as he launched another full-strength attack.

But to Lin Xuns surprise, Withered Vine Old Monster wasnt targeting him. The attack was aimed at an expert on the ground.

It was a savage bird of some kind. It was furtively approaching the Fallen Star Peak, hoping to take the opportunity to be the first to climb up. Clearly, Lin Xuns suggestion had tempted him.

He just never expected Withered Vine Old Monster to give up on catching Lin Xun and come back!

Boom!

Instantly, black and white divine light clashed and intertwined in the area, and the savage bird was slaughtered without a chance to counterattack.

Many experts planning to go up the mountain secretly were scared out of their wits and retreated one after another.

Do you think Im an idiot? How would I abandon the great fortune on Fallen Star Peak for a little bastard? Idiots, that little bastard has used you guys without even you realizing! How stupid can you get? Withered Vine Old Monster reprimanded with a livid face.

It was only then that the cultivators realized that there was no longer any trace of Lin Xun. He had long taken the opportunity to escape!

Everyones face darkened. As expected the kid hadnt been doing it out of kindness. Instead, he had wanted to use them to stop Withered Vine Old Monster from leaving the Fallen Star Peak!

Argh!

Many flushed with rage. They had been tricked and taken advantage of by a junior without them realizing it.

Hmph! Withered Vine Old Monsters fury was inexplicably replaced by satisfaction and relief when he saw everyone bowing their heads in embarrassment and shame.

It was the same feeling as dragging a group of people into the water with him. They had all suffered and all lost face so they couldnt laugh at each other.

However

The thought of Lin Xun sent a vortex of rage into his heart again. In the end, he turned around with seething anger and returned to the Fallen Star Peak.

There was nothing he could do. Lin Xun had fled, and he would never be able to catch up with him. He had no choice but to swallow his hatred.

Little bastard, dont let me see you again! He would never forget to get revenge.
