Chapter 779: Fishing in Troubled Waters

To live one's whole life in the shadow of Su Lingjun!

The consequences of this are by no means light!

For a cultivator, the path of cultivation is inherently one of defying the heavens; fighting against the heavens, fighting against the earth, and fighting against people.

To lose or be defeated is perfectly normal.

Even the Great Emperors who suppressed an entire era have lost and been defeated in their youth.

Yet, anyone capable of stepping onto the summit possesses a heart that fears not to fight again!

If you lose or are defeated, then you simply fight again!

But once you are defeated into a shadow, living your whole life in the shadow of another, it is equivalent to having a shattered Dao heart; it will be very difficult to achieve anything in this life, and you may even give birth to inner demons.

Su Lingjun may be stronger than them now, but who knows about the future?

What if everyone encounters some miraculous opportunities later on?

These words from Ye Lin undoubtedly stirred the desire to act in the hearts of everyone present.

They wanted to prove that although they could not beat Su Lingjun, they were not afraid of Su Lingjun!

"You dog!"

Su Lingjun locked onto Ye Lin's position once again, raising his sword to kill him.

Ye Lin raised his arms and shouted.

"Everyone, what are you waiting for? Su Lingjun is attacking! Do you want to be cowards? Do you want to live your whole lives in Su Lingjun's shadow, letting him bully you?"

This cry ignited the desire to fight in the hearts of the crowd.

"Su Lingjun, you go too far! Today, I will properly test you, the number one genius of the Eastern Profound Domain in the last five hundred years!"

"Do you really think you can run wild without restraint? You dyed your hair white and now you're acting all high and mighty? I'll make you fly for acting so arrogant!"

"Attack together! There are so many of us; even if he is Su Lingjun, we don't need to be afraid!"

In their fury, the crowd attacked one after another. Before Su Lingjun could even reach Ye Lin, he was stunned by countless divine abilities, techniques, sword Qi, and blade auras.

He is a powerhouse of the Third Phase Star-Lattice Realm, with formidable strength and unparalleled sword Dao; it is true that he has never known defeat since he emerged into the world.

But those were all records from one-on-one duels.

One must know that he is now facing a siege by over a hundred people.

Moreover, these hundred-plus people are not just random passersby; they are all elite disciples sent by the major sects.

In this situation, let alone Su Lingjun, even Ye Lin, holding the Inner Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Life-Severing Sword, would have to lose two lives first.

Under the barrage of the crowd, Su Lingjun was beaten back step by step, his aura became chaotic, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Su Lingjun surrounded and injured, the crowd became even more excited.

The moment a god reveals a health bar, the god falls from the altar.

So the so-called number one genius of the last five hundred years is not invincible after all!

"Senior Brother Su!"

Seeing Su Lingjun surrounded and injured by the crowd, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect instantly flared up.

On ordinary days, which disciples from other sects were not respectful when they saw people from their Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect?

Now, these people actually dared to join forces to besiege the genius within their own sect!

"Form the sword array, help Senior Brother Su together!"

The nine disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect had clearly practiced this many times; their movements were very proficient. Each held a long sword and occupied a position, forming a sword array behind Su Lingjun.

Under the reinforcement of the sword array, Su Lingjun's already terrifying strength soared even higher.

Su Lingjun was truly enraged now; his white hair danced without wind, and his robes rustled loudly.

Since this group of people were blind, deaf, and ungrateful, he did not mind letting them know how his reputation as a genius was earned!

"Thousand-Jun Demon Slaughter!"

The moment the sword array took shape, a crisp sound of sword ringing echoed throughout the area. Chains appeared on the bodies of the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect disciples, connecting them to Su Lingjun.

Boundless sword intent was continuously poured into Su Lingjun's body, making him, who was already above the crowd, even more terrifying.

"A bunch of things that don't know life from death!"

As a genius, Su Lingjun naturally had his own pride. Since he could not explain it to them, he would let the sword in his hand restore their sanity!

Su Lingjun took a step forward, the long sword in his hand blooming with brilliant sword radiance, sweeping out directly.

Wherever the sword edge passed, the invisible air was sliced apart, slashing toward the crowd in front with boundless force.

"Retreat quickly!"

Everyone sensed the terrifying lethality of this sword and retreated violently.

Better the neighbor than me.

They didn't need to run faster than Su Lingjun's sword; they only needed to run faster than the others.

Before the sword radiance even landed, the ground of the ancient tomb split into countless gullies.

Seeing the sword radiance getting closer, those disciples who ran slowly could only try to defend themselves.

One disciple sacrificed their natal spiritual treasure, a large bell burning with flames, but the moment it touched Su Lingjun's sword, the bell instantly dimmed and was sent flying away.

The sword radiance swept through the crowd, and over thirty cultivators were instantly severely injured. Screams were endless, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

Hiding in the shadows, Ye Lin seized the opportunity, and the Life-Severing Sword silently slit the throats of several cultivators.

The inner demon within his body also performed the Blood God Eternal Refining at this moment, sucking the blood from these few cultivators completely dry.

"Someone died again!"

After the chaos, someone soon let out an exclamation.

The few corpses Ye Lin deliberately left behind were too conspicuous; they couldn't help but notice them.

"Damn it, this Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect really wants to kill us all. Let's fight these sons of bitches!"

In this kind of melee, people from the major sects had already killed until their eyes were red.

The disciples of the Heavenly Net Palace formed a great array, and a terrifying blazing sun rose within the ancient tomb, causing the temperature inside to climb instantly.

The disciples of the Green Lotus Sacred Land sacrificed their tongue-tip essence blood to activate the secret technique Sword Prison, and countless ancient swords broke through the ground, forming a killing array that swept away!

"Since you all say I, Su Lingjun, am killing people, then I will kill for you to see!"

Being wronged time and time again, Su Lingjun completely lost his patience.

His white hair danced wildly, his sword intent pierced the heavens, and as his long sword slashed, visions of gods and demons bowing appeared in the void!

Seeing the two groups fighting together again, Ye Lin moved through the crowd like a ghost, and soon there were a dozen more corpses on the ground.

Everyone's attention was focused on Su Lingjun; no one thought that there was someone else among them playing dirty.

Ye Lin's grasp of timing was extremely precise; even the deceased themselves thought they had died under Su Lingjun's sword when they died.

The blood within these dead cultivators was all sucked away by Ye Lin using the Blood God Eternal Refining, leaving nothing behind.

Hum!

The small silver pagoda on the sarcophagus suddenly emitted a humming sound, blooming with pure light of laws.

"Finally couldn't hold back?"

Ye Lin looked at the small silver pagoda; he had seen early on that this thing seemed to need to absorb the essence blood of cultivators to achieve some purpose.

After the small silver pagoda vibrated, those few innate supreme treasures moved on their own, falling into the crowd like scattered flowers.

The small silver pagoda followed closely behind, also flying automatically toward the crowd!
