Chapter 32

Another Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse?

Seeing the man standing in the air, sword in hand, looking like a celestial being, Lin Xun was both shocked and deeply grateful in his heart.

If it weren't for this man's timely rescue just now, he and the little girl would have been killed.

At the same time, Lin Xun finally saw who the "murderer" was.

It was a man with an exceptionally robust and imposing figure, his muscles gleaming with a pale golden hue, hard as rock, exuding explosive power.

His beard and hair were like spears, his eyes like lightning, standing there casually, his aura seemed to connect with the heavens, like a mountain or a peak, majestic and formidable.

To say it was slow, but in reality, it was extremely fast. From the moment the man in the green robe and jade robe appeared, without any visible movement, the azure pine-patterned sword at his feet emitted a clear hum and shot into the air.

Whoosh!

The sword light was like a rainbow, slashing down from the sky!

At that moment, Lin Xun's eyes stung, the sword qi was too strong, like the sun in the sky, wanting to sweep away everything.

Almost simultaneously, the robust man also moved, roaring and punching out with a blazing golden light.

Boom~

The sky shook, the earth trembled, the clouds split, the power of the spiritual energy collision spread, making the entire world lose its color.

This scene was too terrifying. The confrontation between two top-tier Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses was no joke.

In the Purple Dawn Empire, there has always been a saying that once a Spirit Sea Realm powerhouse acts, it is like a disaster sweeping through, destined to cause widespread destruction and unimaginable calamity!

Now, although this confrontation did not take place in a densely populated city, the destructive power caused the rocks and trees within a hundred feet to turn to powder, the ground to crack like a spider web, and some fierce beasts that didn't have time to escape were torn apart, dying on the spot.

Such a shocking scene made Lin Xun dare not look any longer. He rolled his body, shielding the little girl, and simultaneously used all his strength to protect himself.

The gap was too large!

Lin Xun was currently only at the Third Level True Martial Realm. Facing a confrontation at the "Spirit Sea Realm" level, it was difficult to even evade, let alone resist.

Life and death were no longer in his control!

Now, Lin Xun could only pray that this battle would end quickly.

Rumble~

The battle was intense, the collision sounds like rolling thunder, shaking the surroundings, making Lin Xun's eardrums hurt, his blood roil, and his soul tremble, almost making him cough up blood.

He didn't dare to think much, almost subconsciously activating the "Star Circulation" technique of the "Little Netherworld Divine Art," his mind focused, visualizing the secret of "stars shining in the sky, circulating through the heavens."

Soon, his soul stopped trembling, his consciousness became ethereal, and all negative emotions faded away like a receding tide, no longer existing.

Suddenly, Lin Xun realized that although he couldn't see, the images around him were clearly presented in his mind.

Under the sky, the man in the green robe and jade robe had his clothes fluttering, a blue ancient sword as fierce as lightning, roaring like a dragon, shooting out a sky full of cold sword qi.

In front of him, the robust man looked extremely miserable, his skin, hard as rock, covered with sword marks, blood flowing, especially his fists, which were torn open, revealing white bones.

Despite being covered in wounds, the robust man seemed completely unaware, his aura still solemn and deadly, fierce and unparalleled.

"Sky Sword Technique!"

Suddenly, the man in the green robe and jade robe seemed impatient, letting out a long whistle. The blue ancient sword's momentum suddenly changed.

Swoosh!

Like a bolt of lightning cutting through the darkness, it vanished in an instant.

This sword was incredibly fast, impossible for Lin Xun to even catch a glimpse of it in his mind!

Immediately, the robust man let out a muffled groan, his arm was severed, blood splattering into the sky!

"Horizontal Sword Technique!"

The man in the green robe and jade robe's momentum grew even stronger, like a legendary sword immortal, a single sword could shake the heavens and the earth!

Clearly, he intended to take this opportunity to kill the robust man.

Screech!

At this critical moment, a huge fierce bird dove from the sky, its wings like knives, slicing through the clouds.

Its body was golden, as if made of gold, its wings spanning over ten feet.

Its speed was also incredibly fast, like lightning, like a phantom. In an instant, it had rescued the robust man!

This sudden change caught the man in the green robe and jade robe off guard. Just as he was about to pursue, the golden bird had already disappeared into the distant horizon.

"Darkness Variant Golden Light Eagle!"

The man in the green robe and jade robe let out a voice of frustration, "I didn't expect this Witchman Warrior to come from there..."

The battle ended here.

Lin Xun didn't care about the Witchman Warrior or the Golden Light Eagle. When the battle ended, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did he feel the burning pain on his back, his hand touching blood, clearly injured in the battle.

Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound, not affecting his bones.

He helped the little girl stand up, seeing her dirty and disheveled, but not injured, he felt somewhat relieved.

"Are you both okay?"

The man in the green robe and jade robe walked over, the area now a mess, filled with the traces of battle.

Lin Xun hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, sir, for your rescue."

Only then did he notice that the man in the green robe and jade robe was quite young, handsome and elegant, exuding a natural aura of nobility.

"It's good that you're both safe. I didn't expect to encounter a Witchman Warrior in these Three Thousand Mountains. Could they also be here for the 'world-shaking treasure'?"

The man in the green robe and jade robe sighed, as if talking to himself.

World-shaking treasure?

Lin Xun was taken aback.

"You should leave quickly."

The man in the green robe and jade robe glanced at Lin Xun and the little girl, seeing their old clothes, clearly residents of the nearby mountains, and immediately lost interest in questioning them.

"May I ask for your name, sir? If there's an opportunity, I will surely repay this kindness."

Lin Xun bowed and said seriously.

This man in the green robe and jade robe seemed proud and noble, but he was a good person, at least he had saved their lives, a great kindness.

"Repay me?"

The man in the green robe and jade robe was taken aback, finding it amusing, then shook his head, "You should take care of yourselves. As for me... just consider me a passerby."

With that, he flashed and stepped onto the sword, flying into the sky, his green robe fluttering, looking very elegant.

"Passerby?"

Lin Xun's admiration grew. Through this, he had a rough idea that the man in the green robe and jade robe had saved him out of kindness, without expecting any repayment.

"A good person."

Lin Xun marveled.

At this moment, the little girl seemed somewhat abnormal. Since the battle ended, she seemed to have lost her soul, ignoring everything around her, her gaze fixed on the distant deep mountains, her young and beautiful face showing deep sorrow.

Seeing this, Lin Xun couldn't help but ask softly, "Little girl, did you get separated from your parents?"

"Yi yi ya ya."

The little girl shook her head, making a series of complex and incomprehensible sounds.

Lin Xun was taken aback, what language was this?

Seeing that Lin Xun didn't understand, the little girl bit her lip, finally sighing lightly and saying no more.

"Right, thank you for saving me earlier."

Lin Xun remembered being carried by the little girl in the forest, feeling somewhat strange but still grateful for her help.

"Yi yi ya ya."

The little girl looked up, her eyes like black gemstones, her expression lost, seemingly not understanding what Lin Xun was saying.

"Uh..."

Lin Xun scratched his head, wondering if the little girl was a descendant of the wild people in the mountains.

He had heard the villagers of Fuyun Village say that in the depths of the Three Thousand Mountains, all kinds of demons and fierce beasts existed, and there were even many primitive and uncivilized wild people.

But looking at the little girl's clear and young appearance, Lin Xun immediately dismissed his suspicions. How could a wild person look so beautiful?

Suddenly, the little girl's brow furrowed, seeming tired, and then her eyes went dark, her small and delicate body collapsing.

Lin Xun, seeing this, instinctively caught the little girl, checked her, and found that she was just unconscious, not seriously injured, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Without further delay, he put the little girl on his back and hurried back to Fuyun Village.

On the way, thinking about today's experiences, Lin Xun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling somewhat speechless. He had only wanted to hunt some fierce beasts for food, but ended up encountering a major upheaval.

First, he saw the "Witchman Warrior" kill a "Mighty Bear," causing a beast chaos, then witnessed the confrontation between the Witchman Warrior and the man in the green robe and jade robe, almost losing his life.

In the end, he survived by luck, but saved a little girl who couldn't even speak clearly...

Now, he had lost the prey he had hunted and had to take a little girl who was unconscious back home, making him feel somewhat absurd.

However, for Lin Xun, this chance to witness the confrontation between two Spirit Sea Realm beings made him realize even more deeply the power of cultivation, and his determination to cultivate became even stronger.

If he had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, he wouldn't have been so passive and helpless today!

He must become stronger!

Lin Xun resolved in his heart.

...

Hundreds of miles away, the man in the green robe and jade robe was flying, taking out a beautiful and exquisite jade decree to read.

This was a decree issued by the "Heaven Sacrificer" of the Imperial Astronomical Platform over a month ago, known only to the highest-ranking nobles of the Purple Dawn Empire.

"Heaven has a mysterious phenomenon appearing in the southwestern border of the Three Thousand Mountains. This phenomenon is unfathomable, and even with my power, I cannot discern its secrets. I fear that a world-shaking treasure may have appeared. I hope the emperor will handle it with caution..."

The man in the green robe and jade robe read it aloud, his eyes filled with deep thought, "Could the Witchman Warrior also be here for this?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "But where is the world-shaking treasure? I have been searching in the Three Thousand Mountains for over twenty days..."
