Compared to the army of Netherworld Soldiers, the group of only about twenty Emperor experts was like an unremarkable wave in the ocean. Even so, none of them was retreating. Instead, they were all doing their best to advance. Even though they were insignificant in numbers, Lin Xun noticed that this group was led by a supreme Great Emperor and three Ninth Realm Ancestors. Two of the Ninth Realm Ancestors were in a fierce fight with the Netherworld General. The remaining one was protecting the supreme Great Emperor as the group moved through the army of Netherworld Soldiers. Obviously, they didn't want to fight to the death with this horrifyingly large army. They only wanted to kill a way out and continued further on Yellow Spring Road. However, judging from the heavy encirclement, it would be extremely hard for them to achieve this anytime soon. The reason was very simple: there were just too many Netherworld Soldiers who didn’t fear death. When one fell, another would immediately take its place, making every step forward difficult for these Emperor experts. Meanwhile, the two Ninth Realm Ancestors fighting the Netherworld General could only restrain it to an extent. They were unable to take it down despite going all out. Lin Xun could see that the figure in the center of the big group was a man in plain clothes who had long, loose purple hair. Wielding a brilliantly golden jade ruler, his offense was powerful and domineering. He fought valiantly and courageously. The plain-clothed man was at the sixth realm and currently shrouded in a dazzling light. His appearance was quite handsome. Every time he blinked, his eyes mysteriously flashed with the pattern of a pair of yin and yang fish, which gave him an intimidating air. Despite being trapped deeply in the siege and struggling to move forward, he didn’t look troubled at all but instead revealed a hint of impatience. It was as though he was fed up with this kind of battle that felt like being stuck in a quagmire. From this, Lin Xun reckoned that he had a powerful card up his sleeve that could solve his current predicament. The reason why he delayed using it was probably because he didn't want to waste it on these opponents. Sure enough, as if to verify Lin Xun's speculation, a green bamboo slip quietly appeared in the hand of the plain-clothed man shortly after. The item emanated a heavy and vast aura. There was a hesitant look on the man’s face. Obviously, the value of this green bamboo slip was so great that he was somewhat reluctant to use it. Seeing this, Lin Xun rushed straight out without any hesitation while urging the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. The sword cauldron, dragging radiant dao light, blasted down at the dense army of Netherworld Soldiers. It dropped down like a divine mountain descending from the sky and directly smashed eight Netherworld Soldiers along with their warhorses to bits. The plain-clothed man and his group were startled and looked over one after another. When they saw Lin Xun, they were dumbstruck. To think that someone actually risked his life, jumping right into this kind of dangerous battle to help them! What was going on here? Having someone coming to one’s rescue was certainly very moving. However, Lin Xun had come alone, and he did not look familiar at all. It meant a stranger was taking a huge risk for them. The plain-clothed man's group could never have expected this. When did such a chivalrous and warm-hearted person appear in this Great Thousand Battle Domain? Someone whispered, “Young Lord, could it be that this fellow recognized you and deliberately came to butter you up, right?” The plain-clothed man was stunned, “But he’s risking his life here. Which of my sycophants can be this fearless, putting their life on the line to help me?” The rest of the group exchanged glances. Indeed. As they discussed among themselves, another thunderous noise echoed in the distance. Looking over, they saw Lin Xun conquer the field with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron by repeatedly smashing it down. Wherever it passed, group after group of Netherworld Soldiers were squashed into rolling black mist. The dominating scene caused the plain-clothed man’s group to stare dumbly. "This person is actually a supreme Great Emperor! No wonder he dared to get involved..." “Killing Netherworld Soldiers like he’s tearing up paper, this is just unbelievable.” "Savage indeed. Who is this person? Why have I never heard of someone like him?" As everyone marveled, the plain-clothed man's eyes also flickered, shock taking over him. The power of a single Netherworld Soldier was meager, but a group of hundreds or thousands of them could be said to be terrifying. Otherwise, his group wouldn’t have been trapped here. Therefore, when he saw Lin Xun's unstoppable killing momentum, the plain-clothed man was shaken. How can this kind of character be ordinary? An expert of this caliber would never try to butter me up. The plain-clothed man took a deep breath and commanded, “Attack together with all your might!” His whole group immediately gave voices of approval. Lin Xun's appearance was like a sharp dagger that ruthlessly inserted itself into the army of Netherworld Soldiers, disrupting the momentum of the entire battlefield. It was to the point that many Netherworld Soldiers flocked to him like a tidal wave. This invariably took a lot of pressure off the plain-clothed man’s group. They knew very well that this was the best time to break out of the siege. Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s heart was screaming in joy over the bountiful harvest. He kept charging forward at full might while hurling out every skill in his arsenal. To others, these Netherworld Soldiers were tricky and difficult to deal with, whereas to him, they were alluring prey waiting to be hunted. “Fiercer!” bellowed the Netherworld General who was fighting intensely with the two Ninth Realm Ancestors in the distance. It had also sensed Lin Xun’s presence and realized that the situation had gone wrong. At its order, almost all of the Netherworld Soldiers in the field abruptly rushed toward Lin Xun. The plain-clothed man’s group took advantage of this to break free in one fell swoop, which put them in high spirits. When they looked back, Lin Xun was still charging bravely alone in a killing spree, while the sea of Netherworld Soldiers were fearlessly throwing themselves at him. “Young Lord, hurry up and go!” someone quickly reminded the plain-clothed man. If they kept dallying here, something might happen that would waste this successful escape. However, the plain-clothed man grunted, "Without the help of that daoist friend, how could we possibly have the opportunity to force our way out? Whether he’s doing this to help us or not, I, Dantai Feng, will not leave him here to fight alone!" His speech was loud and resolute. The crowd was stunned for a moment. Not waiting for them to persuade him, Dantai Feng pointed at the Netherworld General and said, “To destroy an army, we first capture their leader. Let’s help the two elders kill that Netherworld General, and perhaps we will be able to resolve this calamity.” As soon as his word rang, a loud shout came from the distance, "It's better that all of you leave quickly and don’t complicate the situation. I, Ling Xuanzi, have my own way of getting out safely! Leave now, don't hesitate! Hurry!" That voice was filled with urgency. It naturally belonged to Lin Xun, who didn't want these Netherworld Soldiers to be snatched by the plain-clothed man and his group... The man in plain clothes was dumbfounded. This fellow...actually refused help? Meanwhile, the others seemed relieved as they advised him, “Young Lord, as that daoist friend has said, the opportunity is not easy to come by. Let's just hurry up and go. This Yellow Spring Road is filled with perils, so we must preserve our strength as much as possible to get to the number one Immortal Emperor Pass alive.” “But...” the plain-clothed man hesitated. Then, he looked up at Lin Xun in the middle of the battlefield and asked aloud, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuanzi, dare I ask, why would you help us?” Lin Xun said righteously in the middle of killing, “I don’t have many hobbies, but helping people is one of them!” Hearing this, several people almost spat and looked at him strangely. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lin Xun was indeed doing them a huge favor right now, then they would have started retorting his nonsense. Helping people as your hobby? Everyone here is an Emperor expert who has lived for countless years, okay? Who are you trying to fool with such a childish and absurd reason?! The plain-clothed man's expression also became odd, and his cheeks twitched. Only after a long time did he say, “Fellow Daoist...” “Just go!” Lin Xun bluntly cut him off. The plain-clothed man didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Is this guy really not scared to die? “Young Lord, since this person is so chivalrous and happy to help, why are we still hesitating? Let’s just go!” The two Ninth Realm Ancestors broke away from the Netherworld General and swept in, taking the plain-clothed man to leave without any hesitation at all. The plain-clothed man wanted to refuse, but his group swarmed him away. He turned back and said loudly, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuanzi, I, Dantai Feng, will remember this favor. If there is a day that we meet again, I will treat you to a drink—!” His voice was still echoing when the group disappeared from sight. Lin Xun's eyes gleamed with a strange look. That Dantai Feng actually has a conscience... A ghastly killing aura speedily approached. It was the Netherworld General. Lin Xun no longer dared to think too much. Abandoning all distractions, he steered the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to kill with all his might. Despite being all by himself, he had the posture of someone who declared themselves to be invincible in the world. One hundred and fifty. As the battle went on, the number of Netherworld Soldiers that died at Lin Xun’s hand kept increasing. Black mist poured into his sword cauldron in a constant stream. Such a harvest fanned Lin Xun's fighting spirit more and more. He didn’t rush to kill the Netherworld General, worrying that once the other party died, these Netherworld Soldiers would disperse without a leader. Watching from afar, it was a heaven-destroying battle in the churning black mist. Batch after batch of Netherworld Soldiers fell under Lin Xun's killing spree like crops being harvested. “He has every chance to kill his way out but has never done so. Can’t it be that he plans to wipe out the entire army of Netherworld Soldiers?” “How can there be such a menace in this world?” The group of cultivators who had been trailing behind Lin Xun was also watching everything that transpired in the battlefield at this moment. They did so with their jaws on the ground and their mind in turmoil. One of them couldn't help but ask, “Didn’t we decide to help this fellow daoist should he encounter a tricky problem? Do we go now?” “No need!” Lin Xun's loud shout resounded from the distance before anyone else could respond. “If you guys still want to keep following me, then don't get involved!” The group of cultivators was stunned speechless. He even refused help?! This kind of person actually exists?
