Chapter 43

Sun Liang froze, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"The Sacred Land's rules must not be violated!"

At that moment, a sharp cry suddenly rang out. Then, a figure appeared at Sun Liang's side like a specter.

"Buzz!"

The air trembled as terrifying power of qi and blood spread outward. A dreadful pressure suddenly descended, aimed directly at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's body abruptly halted. In an instant, he felt as though he had fallen into a mire, unable to move a single step with ease.

"It's Deacon Su Ding!"

"Deacon Su Ding actually came to the Servant District."

"Is Deacon Su Ding one of the outer sect deacons?"

"We pay respects to Deacon Su Ding."

The servants suddenly cried out in alarm.

Lin Xuan's heart turned solemn as he looked at Su Ding.

An outer sect deacon was not someone a mere servant deacon could compare to.

Within the outer sect, every Sacred Land disciple who could obtain the position of deacon was at the Bone Tempering Realm.

Lin Xuan had never expected that Ling Yan would actually bring even a disciple of outer sect deacon rank here.

It seemed these people bore him deep malice.

Sun Liang's heart eased slightly. He bowed to Su Ding beside him, then looked at Lin Xuan with mockery in his eyes.

Lin Xuan's gaze was unfriendly, but he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had cultivated for too short a time. The Sacred Land was filled with rising talents, and he did not yet possess the qualifications to act as he pleased.

At that moment, Lin Xuan's yearning for greater strength surged to a new height.

"Step back, or die!"

Just then, Su Ding's icy voice entered Lin Xuan's ears, and the pressure around him intensified further.

"Bang!"

At the same time, on the Life and Death Arena, Ling Chao continued tormenting Chen Ze.

"Pfft..."

Every bone in Chen Ze's limbs had shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head toward Lin Xuan with great difficulty.

"Senior Brother Lin, thank you..."

Chen Ze opened his mouth, his voice bleak, an indescribable light in his eyes.

His words were soft, yet everyone present heard them. For a moment, every heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Lin Xuan said nothing, but the killing intent in his heart blazed to its very peak.

"Chen Ze, are you going to talk or not? As long as you speak, I can give you a quick death."

Ling Chao paused for the moment and asked indifferently.

"Heh..."

"Hahaha..."

"I'll tell you your mother's cunt... Ling Chao, even if I become a Specter, I won't let anyone from the Ling family off."

Chen Ze burst into wild laughter.

"You're courting death!" Ling Chao's face turned cold as he prepared to strike again.

But at that moment, the qi and blood within Chen Ze's body began to boil.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The next second, a dense series of explosions rang out from within Chen Ze's body. He instantly became a man of blood, his life force draining away at breakneck speed.

"He actually detonated his own qi and blood—heavens..."

"He, he, he..."

The servants all felt a chill run through their hearts.

He had been too decisive. Being killed and killing oneself were completely different concepts.

"Damn it!"

Ling Chao flew into a rage and kicked Chen Ze's corpse aside.

Lin Xuan's heart tightened, and even the hand gripping his battle saber trembled slightly.

He had never imagined Chen Ze would end his life in such a way.

What a man!

Lin Xuan could not help sighing in his heart.

"Hmph... you got lucky!"

Sun Liang looked at Lin Xuan and snorted coldly.

"Enough!" Su Ding withdrew his pressure and leaped down from the Life and Death Arena.

Chen Ze was already dead. It was utterly impossible to make him say anything.

They no longer had any reason to target Lin Xuan.

But suddenly, Lin Xuan leaped up and landed atop the Life and Death Arena.

"Ling Chao, Life and Death Battle. Do you dare accept?"

Everyone was stunned, staring at Lin Xuan in disbelief.

But that was not all. Lin Xuan suddenly turned and looked at Sun Liang below the arena.

"Sun Liang of the outer sect, Life and Death Battle. Do you dare accept?"

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Was he challenging two people at once? Had Lin Xuan become this arrogant already?

Ling Chao was at the Body Forging Peak, while Sun Liang was an outer sect disciple at the initial Blood Refining stage. Even seeking death was not done like this, was it?

Unlike the shocked servants, Sun Liang, Ling Chao, and Su Ding all had their eyes light up.

They had thought there would be no way to target Lin Xuan today, yet when the willows darkened, another village appeared.

"Lin Xuan, you're courting death!" Ling Chao's voice rang out at just the right moment.
