Chapter 949 Xia Zhi's Unique Request
Miss Le knew that Lin Xun had already attained a certain tier of invincibility. He was invincible among his peers and could kill enemies a cultivation stage above him.
In the current era, the only ones who could face him were those who had also attained the supreme path: the monstrous anomalies with terrifying foundations!
Miss Le was born in a Hidden Holy Land. She boasted high intelligence and naturally possessed extraordinary experience and insight. Despite this, she could not help but feel pressured after roughly gauging Lin Xun's current abilities and strength.
If he entered the East Victory World, who would be able to compete with him?
It was an impossible conundrum because there was already no way to measure Lin Xun's combat power through ordinary methods!
He would certainly have a place in the battle for the great age. It was laughable how the sects of the West Infinity World wanted to exterminate such a supreme and unparalleled talent. They were so muddle-headed!
Miss Le found it absurd and ridiculous that Lin Xun had suffered so much rejection and repulsion in the West Infinity World.
However, she also understood that the rise of any heaven pride was destined to be accompanied by endless hostility.
It didn't help that Lin Xun was from a lower plane and was all alone. His situation made it inevitable that he would face even more hostility and suppression.
Even in the East Victory World, without the backing of a strong clan, Lin Xun would have to face much resistance if he wished to continue his rise.
……
"Leave quickly." Lin Xun returned. Despite the big victory, his expression looked much graver than before.
An icy light flashed in Miss Le's clear eyes and she immediately commanded, "Set off at full speed!"
Although Kou Xing and the others were confused, they didn't dare to tarry and hurriedly drove the ship away.
Miss Le approached and asked, "What's the issue?"
"People are spying on us. Moreover, the commotion caused by the battle was too big and has likely already attracted the attention of several terrifying existences in the Boundary River."
Lin Xun's expression was grave. He had originally wanted to loot the battlefield and scavenge some spoils from the Sacred Fire Sect experts.
However, a strong feeling of trepidation had risen in his heart, making him uneasy. Years of battle-honed intuition allowed him to make the decision to decisively retreat.
This was the Boundary River, a place that the mere mention of would make many people's expressions change since ancient times. It was filled with unfathomable danger and was regarded as a forbidden area even King stage old monsters would not dare to easily step into.
Although a shocking change was currently occurring to the Boundary River that made it less intimidating, drawing the interest of many experts seeking adventure, it was still too dangerous!
Miss Le realized the severity of the situation and couldn't help but say, "How are you feeling?"
Lin Xun casually replied, "I'll manage."
To be frank, the battle had drained him considerably, especially when he was using the Dao Immeasurable Bottle against the Divine Flames Dome. There were even a few moments when he was almost unable to endure.
Although it was an incredible treasure, a tremendous amount of aeth power was required to sustain the swallowing and accumulation abilities.
Fortunately, the Dao Immeasurable Bottle was once again full. Moreover, it was filled with the power of the Five Divine Flames Dome. If they encountered another enemy, he would be able to release unimaginably destructive power!
……
Right after Lin Xun and the others left, a golden ship rapidly approached.
"Luo Jia, you should tell me who he is now, right?" On the ship, Shun Baixuan’s eyes flashed like lightning as they quickly scanned the battlefield.
Earlier, they had been hiding in the shadows while witnessing the earth-shaking battle. It left Shun Baixuan in shock and unable to calm himself even until now.
He never imagined that he would encounter such an unbelievable 'peer' in the Boundary River who could chop up half-step King experts as if they were mere vegetables and fruits.
He was especially interested in the Broken Blade and the Dao Immeasurable Bottle due to their extraordinary and unique abilities.
Luo Jia was silent as she recalled the scenes from earlier. In the end, she concluded that the young man who was regarded as a demon god had become even more powerful since the Dao Lantern Festival!
"Could he be Demon God Lin?" Shun Baixuan voiced his suspicion.
"Who else would possess such unbelievable battle power?" Luo Jia regained her composure. Her clothes fluttered around her while her starry eyes were tranquil and her face impassive as still water.
"So it is really him." Shun Baixuan was astonished. "Wasn't his greatest reliance suppose to be a mysterious pagoda made from Genesium?"
Luo Jia let out a small sigh. "He didn't even use the pagoda to face a Saint's will. Doesn't that make him even more frightening?"
Shun Baixuan pondered her words. He soon returned to his senses and said with a smile, "I've finally witnessed the strength of the Demon God Lin. He's great and lives up to his reputation. Hmm, I wonder if he'll 'lend' me his treasures to play with."
His eyes shone with a blazing radiance, producing an invisible pressure like a mighty emperor looking down upon the world.
Luo Jia suddenly frowned and said, "You've seen how frightening he is. Do you still plan on provoking him?"
"Provoke?"
Shun Baixuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth. "No, I'm just excited about meeting an excellent rival. Of course, it will feel even better if he lends me his treasures."
By this juncture, he was already impatient to meet Lin Xun and immediately urged the ship in the direction he and the others had disappeared in. "What better day is there than the present? Go go go, let's go and have fun now!"
Luo Jia had a headache. Shun Baixuan was definitely a master of getting into trouble. Moreover, no one could dissuade him after he made his decision.
Among the Saint Clans' current younger generation, this Shun Clan’s direct descendant had the title of Chaotic Demon King. He showed no regard for anyone and always acted as if he was above the law!
If not for the good relationship between his clan and hers, she would never have asked him for help.
"Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?" Luo Jia tried to dissuade him.
"How would I dare? After I fight him, I will help you to subdue the remnant spirit of the Dark Blood Black Phoenix!" Shun Baixuan was in high spirits.
"He has a Saint treasure!"
"Tch, I've also brought a powerful ancestral weapon along. In fact, I'll be relying on it to subdue the Dark Blood Black Phoenix."
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten up?"
"Hahaha. Luo Jia, although Demon God Lin is formidable, do you think I'll be afraid of him?" Shun Baixuan was full of confidence.
By this juncture, Luo Jia had given up on dissuading him, only wishing that Lin Xun would give him a good beating and take him down a notch.
……
In the room, Lin Xun meditated to recover his strength.
Xia Zhi was seated in front of a table next to him as she earnestly enjoyed the food he had prepared for her. Her beautiful face which made heaven and earth become dim in comparison was as serene as usual.
"Killing the enemy is killing the enemy, why do you need to polish your martial dao as well? If you had been more focused, you would have ended that battle faster," Xia Zhi commented while eating. Her clear voice echoed in the room.
These comments made Lin Xun feel somewhat embarrassed. He tried to explain himself, "Killing the enemy is secondary. It's more important for me to increase my combat power."
"There are many ways to improve your combat power. You don't have to use such a method."
Xia Zhi picked up a piece of fatty and oily meat and shoved it into her mouth. While chewing, she said, "We'll put this aside for now. I'll probably be starting the fourth cycle of the Obliteration Art in the near future. Before that, I hope you'll promise me something."
Lin Xun was stunned. "So soon?"
Xia Zhi acknowledged with a soft grunt, still eating.
"What is it? I will do everything I can as long as it is within my abilities." With a deep breath, Lin Xun easily agreed. It was the first time Xia Zhi had taken the initiative to make a request. How could he possibly reject her?
"It's very simple."
At this point, Xia Zhi put down her bowl and chopsticks as she finally lifted her head. A pair of clear, star-like, crescent eyes stared at Lin Xun as she said in a serious manner, "In my absence, you are forbidden from flirting with any women. It is not allowed even if they throw themselves at you."
Lin Xun: "......"
The corners of his lips could not help but twitch violently as several creases formed on his forehead. He could never have predicted that Xia Zhi would make such an 'unreasonable' request!
Annoyed, he said, "I've never done such a thing before. Moreover, aren't you being too disrespectful of my feelings by dictating such a thing?"
Xia Zhi replied as if she was declaring the most logical thing in the world, "This is a preventive measure. Just because you haven't done it before doesn't mean you will not do so in the future."
Unlike before, Xia Zhi was now a shockingly beautiful young lady. She had an otherworldly presence, elegant eyebrows that resembled the crescent moon, and a graceful, slender body. She was no longer the little girl from before.
It was likely that no one could firmly refuse such a request from her.
However, Lin Xun was feeling very sullen. He would soon be eighteen but had yet to experience love. Now, he was even being forbidden from doing so. Wouldn't this leave him lonely for life?
It was an intolerable request!
"No." Lin Xun decisively refused the unreasonable request. If he gave in, his subsequent days would be nothing but hell.
Xia Zhi's response was simple. She rose to her feet and said, "Then I will be very angry when I next wake up."
Lin Xun was stunned. "Seriously?"
Xia Zhi nonchalantly nodded.
Annoyed, Lin Xun also got up and said, "Is this a rebellion? Have you no conscience?"
Xia Zhi raised her eyebrow, thought about it, and said, "I'll take a step back. When the time comes, I will accept your objection if you manage to defeat me. However, if you can't, you must accept the condition."
Lin Xun answered without hesitation, "Deal! "
He refused to believe he would never be able to beat her!
Xia Zhi solemnly said, "Lin Xun, you are the only person I'll give in to in this world."
Lin Xun's heart could not help but tremble a little in the face of Xia Zhi's clear eyes and the serious expression on her beautiful face.
A flurry of noises sounded from outside the room, startling Lin Xun. What was it now?
Xia Zhi also seemed a little unhappy, and her ink-black eyebrows imperceptibly wrinkled.
