Chapter 281: All Here for This Human Prodigy?
"You all schemed so painstakingly… yet these are the only trump cards you brought against me?"
Li Xun shook his head slightly.
He seemed almost disappointed. His gaze, sharp as a blade, swept across the Spirit Clan patriarch and all the others. Anyone who met his eyes shivered uncontrollably.
A wave of inexplicable terror rose in their hearts.
The pressure Li Xun exuded was simply too overwhelming. In their estimation, their own strength was about equal to Wei Xian's. Which meant… If Li Xun wished to kill them, it would also take just a single strike.
Boom!
Li Xun stepped forward.
An incomparable aura burst outward like a raging tsunami. Everything within a thousand miles trembled. Countless stones turned into dust in an instant.
Each step he took brought suffocating pressure crashing down on everyone present, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing onto their shoulders.
Whether it was the Spirit Clan patriarch and his allies, or the Otherworldly Demons in the distance, all felt as though they had fallen into an icy abyss. Every instinct screamed at them to flee.
It was as if they were gazing at some unfathomably terrifying existence.
"H-How— how can he be this strong?"
A cultivator from the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty trembled violently. His teeth chattered as he involuntarily backed away.
No matter how he tried, he couldn't understand how a genius of the younger generation—no matter how talented—could reach such a monstrous level.
He had cultivated for over a thousand years to reach his current realm.
But Li Xun? Not even a few decades—yet he already stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them, even crushing them outright. He didn't doubt for a second that if neither the Spirit Clan nor the Xiao Clan had any more trump cards, everyone present—even with the five Otherworldly Demons included—would all end up slaughtered by Li Xun!
"If you have no further methods to use today… then leave your lives here."
Li Xun's tone remained calm, as though he were speaking of something trivial. Yet the killing intent in his words made everyone's skin crawl.
It was obvious that Li Xun had long known about their plot.
Of course. Thinking back now, everyone simultaneously realized: no wonder Li Xun had "acted" together with the Otherworldly Demons earlier. He had already anticipated everything.
And only because he held absolute confidence in victory did he remain here waiting for them.
"Li Xun, do you really think victory is already yours?"
The Spirit Clan patriarch spoke coldly.
His strength far surpassed the others—already half-step Saint Realm. He was the true mastermind behind today's operation.
"Li Xun, you have no idea what you're about to face. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, you may still have a chance. Otherwise, the Profound Sun Holy Land behind you will also be reduced to ashes!"
A powerhouse of the Star-Moon Divine Sect gritted his teeth and shouted.
First Wei Qiong fell, then Wei Xian. Now, several Divine Palace Realm experts from Star-Moon Divine Sect had died at Li Xun's hands.
And Divine Palace Realm experts were not cabbages growing by the roadside. Each one required a thousand years to cultivate!
Losing so many at once—no matter how powerful the Star-Moon Divine Sect was—was difficult to bear.
"Heh."
Another person coldly laughed. His body was covered in scales, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Kneeling and begging is already far too late. After you're sent on your way, everyone in the Profound Sun Holy Land will accompany you on the road to the Yellow Springs."
This man was from the Sea God Palace.
They had already made up their minds: once Li Xun fell, they would immediately settle accounts with the Profound Sun Holy Land.
After all, Profound Sun Holy Land, at best, had one Saint. But among the factions gathered here today, they could casually summon several Saints with little effort.
At that point, without Li Xun, how many of those factions that were once friendly with him would still be willing to lend a hand?
After all, the Northern Yu Imperial Dynasty, Great Zhou Empire, Crape Myrtle Holy Land, and the others had befriended the Profound Sun Holy Land not because of the Holy Land's strength, but because of Li Xun's future!
Without Li Xun, the Profound Sun Holy Land was just an average holy land at best—perhaps even inferior to some.
"You're relying on—"
Li Xun smiled faintly.
His eyes swept toward a patch of empty sky as he said softly:
"—those two Saints, yes?"
"W-What?"
Everyone was stunned.
Impossible!
The Spirit Clan patriarch and the others exchanged looks. Their first instinct was:
There is a traitor among us!
If not, how could Li Xun have arrived at the Abyssal Demons Burial so early?
How could he be so certain they were lying in wait for him here?
And now—he even knew they had invited Saints to intervene.
This information was top secret—no one outside their alliance knew.
Only someone in their group could have informed Li Xun.
"No matter who's secretly helping you, you still cannot escape death today!"
The Spirit Clan patriarch said coldly.
He didn't bother investigating who leaked the news—there was no point. With only Li Xun and Huang Xi here, they could not possibly stand against two Saints.
As his voice faded, a divine radiance filled the sky.
An immense figure appeared, tall and straight. He had long gray hair spilling down his back. He stood atop a colossal black mountain in the distance.
Even though he was far away—barely a dot on the horizon—everyone felt as though they were facing an immovable divine peak. Their calves trembled uncontrollably.
Whether it was the Otherworldly Demons or the Spirit Clan patriarch's group, all felt the urge to kneel.
A Saint has arrived!
The five Otherworldly Demons looked grim. They never imagined the situation would escalate this far.
And when this human prodigy fell, who could guarantee this Saint wouldn't casually erase them as well?
They were still trembling when—
BOOM!
Suddenly, another overwhelming force descended from the heavens, covering ten thousand miles. The entirety of the Abyssal Demons Burial shook violently.
Lead-gray clouds churned like an ocean.
Divine might suppressed like a hellish prison.
It felt as though the entire sky was collapsing.
Other than Li Xun and Huang Xi, everyone was forced to their knees with a heavy thud.
A second Saint had appeared!
This Saint didn't even reveal his form—just his aura alone forced all beings present to the ground, making them feel as if calamity was about to befall them.
"Two Saints?!"
The leading Otherworldly Demon's lips twisted bitterly.
What in the world was happening today?
Since he had crossed over into this world, he hadn't even done anything—hadn't taken a single step outside the Abyssal Demons Burial.
So how did he end up attracting two Saints?
Could it be…
Both Saints came because of this human prodigy?
That was simply too unbelievable.
