Chapter 653: Impossible, how could you have become this strong?

"It seems we have been targeted," Lin Xuan sneered.

"Then let's see who is so bold."

Nezha and Zhang Wuji also sensed the danger and instinctively gathered together.

The four of them arrived at the Azure Cloud Inn where they had stayed before.

Seeing them return, the innkeeper's expression was clearly somewhat unnatural.

"Honored guests, your rooms are still being held for you."

"Please go upstairs to rest."

Lin Xuan glanced at him without saying a word.

But in his heart, he was already certain that this innkeeper definitely had a problem.

After the four went upstairs, they returned to their respective rooms.

But in reality, they were all secretly on guard, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.

Night fell, and Azure Cloud City became even more silent.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the inn.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Someone knocked on Lin Xuan's door.

"Who is it?" Lin Xuan asked.

"It's me, Su Yun," a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"I have something important to discuss with you."

Lin Xuan opened the door and saw Su Yun standing outside.

But this time, Su Yun was completely different from before.

The gentleness in his eyes was gone, replaced by malice and greed.

There was no longer a fake smile on his face, but a cold expression.

"Su Yun? What are you here for?" Lin Xuan asked vigilantly.

"Haha, naturally I am here to complete my mission," Su Yun sneered.

"Lin Xuan, thank you for your cooperation during this time."

"It allowed us to collect enough intelligence."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"What do I mean?" Su Yun burst into laughter.

"It seems you still haven't realized it."

"From the very beginning, my approaching you had a purpose."

"Investigating the true state of your bloodline, that was my mission."

"Now that the mission is complete, it is time to close the net."

As he spoke, he stepped aside.

Countless cultivators in black robes surged out from all directions, instantly surrounding the entire inn so tightly that not even water could pass through.

These people all exuded powerful auras, and the lowest cultivation level among them was the Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, their positioning was very particular, forming a huge encirclement.

They were clearly well-trained elites.

"Azure Cloud Sect and Blood Demon Sect?" Lin Xuan looked at these people's attire.

"You have been colluding together for a long time?"

"Smart," Su Yun nodded.

"The Azure Cloud Sect and the Blood Demon Sect do indeed have a cooperative relationship."

"This mission was carried out by us jointly."

"There is only one goal, and that is to capture you alive."

"Sect Master Xue Tutian is very interested in your bloodline."

"He is willing to pay a great price to obtain you."

After hearing this, a dangerous light began to flicker in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"So, all your previous help was fake?"

"Of course it was fake," Su Yun said triumphantly.

"My acting was pretty good, right?"

"Even someone as highly vigilant as you was deceived."

"It really gives me a sense of accomplishment."

"Hahaha..."

He laughed unscrupulously, as if victory were already in his grasp.

But the next second, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Because he saw the killing intent in Lin Xuan's eyes.

That killing intent was as solid as substance, making one feel suffocated.

"Very good," Lin Xuan spoke slowly.

His voice was terrifyingly calm.

"I actually thought you were truly helping me."

"I even felt grateful toward you."

"I never expected that you were lying to me from the very beginning."

The Genesis Bloodline within his body began to throb violently.

The anger of being deceived made the bloodline boil completely.

An aura even more terrifying than before radiated from Lin Xuan.

"This... what is this?" Su Yun felt immense pressure.

"Impossible, how could you have become this strong?"

The black-robed cultivators nearby also felt the threat and retreated one after another.

This aura was truly too terrifying, leaving them without even the courage to strike.

"Bloodline Awakening, Fourth Layer!"

A blood-red light erupted from Lin Xuan's body.

This awakening was even more intense than before.

His cultivation base began to climb crazily.

Peak Nascent Soul Stage!

Early Transformation Stage!

Mid Transformation Stage!

In just a few seconds, his cultivation base broke through to the Mid Transformation Stage.

And it was still climbing.

"Monster! This guy is a monster!" Su Yun was completely terrified.

"Quick! Everyone attack together! Kill him!"

The black-robed cultivators received the order and immediately launched their attacks.

Various spells bombarded Lin Xuan, covering the sky and earth.

But Lin Xuan did not dodge; instead, he charged straight at them.

"Since the Azure Cloud Sect has chosen to side with the Blood Demon Sect, then don't blame me for being heartless!"

His attacks became extremely brutal.

Every strike aimed straight for the vitals, never giving the opponent any chance of survival.

With one punch, three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were blasted apart on the spot.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere; the scene was extremely tragic.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"This guy is not human!"

The black-robed cultivators were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions.

But Lin Xuan's speed was too fast; they could not escape at all.

He shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, and death followed wherever he went.

Moreover, as the slaughter continued, his strength kept rising.

The ancient power contained within his bloodline was gradually awakening.

"No! Don't kill me!" Su Yun knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have lied to you!"

"Spare my life!"

But the way Lin Xuan looked at him was as if he were looking at a dead man.

"You know you're wrong now? It's too late."

He grabbed Su Yun by the hair and lifted him up.

"Weren't you very smug just a moment ago?"

"Didn't you say your acting was very good?"

"Perform for me again now."

As he spoke, he exerted force with his hand.

"Crack!"

Su Yun's neck was twisted and broken, and he died on the spot.

But Lin Xuan was not finished yet.

He grabbed Su Yun's body with both hands and tore it apart violently.

"Rip!"

Su Yun's corpse was torn into two halves, blood splattering the ground.

The entire inn had turned into a Shura hell.

Nezha and Zhang Wuji rushed out from their rooms and were stunned when they saw this scene.

At this moment, Lin Xuan was covered in blood, and a blood-red light flickered in his eyes.

He was every bit a god of slaughter.

"Lin Xuan..." Nezha wanted to approach.

But the look Lin Xuan gave him when he turned his head made him stop in his tracks instantly.

That gaze was too terrifying; it held no emotion, only pure killing intent.

"Don't come over," Lin Xuan said coldly.

"I am very dangerous right now, even I cannot control myself."

Hunyuanzi walked down from upstairs at this moment.

He looked at Lin Xuan, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

"The second bloodline awakening has begun."

"After this time, you will completely lose your humanity."

"Are you sure you want to continue?"

Lin Xuan glanced at him, a cold sneer curling the corner of his mouth.

"Master, I no longer have a way back."

"Since the bloodline chose me, then I will go to the end."

"Humanity? Emotions? These things are merely burdens to me."

"What I want is power, absolute power capable of dominating everything!"

As his voice fell, the blood-red light on his body became even more intense.

The second bloodline awakening, officially begins!

A blood-red light enveloped the entire inn.

Lin Xuan stood amidst a pile of corpses, his entire body radiating a terrifying killing intent.
