160: Su Yang died, and you bullied the weak again.

“What is it?”

Seeing Luo Li’s disdainful gaze, Lin Xuan’s composure shattered.

His calm demeanor collapsed instantly, his eyes sinister, like a devil from the Nine Netherworlds.

Luo Li had repeatedly sabotaged his attempts to take disciples, which was one thing, but she even dared to come to his door to provoke him.

She was practically rubbing his Divine Fire Realm’s authority into the ground, over and over again.

Yet, Luo Li was incredibly cunning, giving him no reason to act, which made Lin Xuan feel so stifled he wanted to spit blood.

He felt as if his formidable cultivation was becoming nothing more than a decoration.

“Is Elder Lin Xuan going to take disciples again?”

Luo Li chuckled, her expression contemptuous.

She truly looked down on Lin Xuan.

She also couldn’t understand Lin Xuan’s thought process.

It was something that could be settled with a single sentence; as long as Lin Xuan requested a batch of disciples from the Star God Temple, the Star God Temple would certainly not refuse, and could not refuse.

After all, the sect rules were there.

But who knew Lin Xuan would choose the most foolish and undignified method?

Personally going out to take disciples.

What was the difference between this and an emperor personally descending to dispute with commoners?

Lin Xuan somehow managed to turn a favorable situation into a hellish one, which was truly something else.

Lin Xuan was so stupid, like a pig, no wonder he was schemed against by Zhi Meng.

“What does it have to do with you?”

Lin Xuan looked down at Luo Li and spoke indifferently.

He had finally understood; if he didn’t get rid of Luo Li, he wouldn’t be able to take a single disciple.

Even if Luo Li did nothing, merely standing there and watching would be enough to scare away disciples who wanted to become his pupils.

Lin Xuan was already struggling to find a reason to eliminate Luo Li, and now that Luo Li had delivered herself to his doorstep, he wouldn’t hold back.

“Indeed, it has nothing to do with this disciple.”

Luo Li nodded lightly, then changed her tone and said in a deep voice.

“I heard that Senior Brother Shi Xuan possesses a Supreme Bone and Dual Pupils, with heaven-defying combat power. This disciple, though unworthy, wishes to fight Senior Brother Shi Xuan to the death. I hope Elder Lin Xuan will grant this.”

“Heh!”

Lin Xuan immediately sneered, “Since you are so intent on seeking death, then this Venerable will grant it.”

Although Luo Li had an eight-star talent, the potential of a Celestial King, and hope of becoming a Celestial Emperor.

Her talent was even better than Shi Xuan’s, and her luck was also higher than Shi Xuan’s.

But good talent and high luck didn’t mean strong combat power.

Shi Xuan was a Child of Luck.

Dual Pupils were originally a path to invincibility, and with more bones, there were more paths.

In his opinion, Shi Xuan would definitely crush Luo Li.

Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered, then he continued, “However, this Venerable has a condition.”

“What condition?”

“Let Gu Qing also come out and fight Su Yang to the death, otherwise, it’s out of the question.”

Gu Qing was currently refining the Star Heart; once Gu Qing completely refined it, his strength would definitely advance further, and Su Yang might not be his opponent.

Therefore, now was the best time to eliminate Gu Qing, not only to remove a great hidden danger but also to retrieve the Star Heart.

“Alright!”

Luo Li nodded and took out a communication jade to send a message to Gu Qing.

This was originally part of their plan, having calculated that Lin Xuan would definitely make his move before Gu Qing had fully refined the Star Heart.

“Good!”

Lin Xuan was overjoyed, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

With just a little provocation from him, Luo Li and Gu Qing agreed.

Seeing Gu Qing walk out of the Star God Temple, Lin Xuan sneered inwardly.

Truly, if you don’t court death, you won’t die.

Once Gu Qing died, the position of Divine Son would be within reach.

Gu Qing, having received the message, arrived in the boundless starry sky, looking at Lin Xuan’s indifferent face, and couldn’t help but smile playfully.

“Elder Lin Xuan, this is a life-and-death duel between us disciples. If your disciple unfortunately loses, you wouldn’t shamelessly intervene again, would you?”

“Are you telling this Venerable what to do?”

Being provoked so blatantly by Gu Qing, perhaps because he had been cursed by Gu Qing so many times, Lin Xuan’s heart no longer had many ripples. He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

The Divine Fire Domain unfolded, and monstrous divine might covered the cosmic starry sky, instantly transforming the heavens and earth, with Chaos Qi permeating the air.

Although he firmly believed that Su Yang, at Venerable Realm sixth-tier, would definitely defeat Gu Qing, Lin Xuan felt it was a bit uncertain whether he could kill him.

After all, Gu Qing was not weak at all, and Gu Qing might even possess a divine artifact.

If Su Yang couldn’t handle it, then he would intervene.

Although bullying the weak was shameful, winning was all that mattered.

The cultivation world was inherently about the strong preying on the weak; he never talked about rules when dealing with enemies.

Lin Xuan wanted to kill Gu Qing before the Divine Fire Realm cultivators of the Star God Temple could react.

Without Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng’s protection, Gu Qing was nothing more than an ant that he could casually crush in his eyes.

Once the person was dead, Lin Xuan didn’t believe those old fogeys would fall out with him over a dead person.

“Tsk tsk, it seems Elder Lin Xuan intends to be shameless to the very end.”

Gu Qing’s mockery was evident.

Protagonists are basically hypocrites.

When others bully the weak, it’s shameless and against the rules.

When the protagonist bullies the weak, it’s called decisive and domineering protection of his own.

“Xiao Yang, kill him quickly, don’t talk to him.” Lin Xuan transmitted.

He regretted it.

He shouldn’t have talked to Gu Qing.

Every time Gu Qing opened his mouth, he could push him to the breaking point.

Next time, he would definitely not let Gu Qing speak again.

No, Gu Qing wouldn’t have a next time.

Lin Xuan made up his mind that today, at all costs, he would eliminate Gu Qing.

Su Yang silently swallowed his mocking words, his expression cold, and he conjured a Saint-grade Artifact longsword.

“Great Sun Demon Subduing Sword...” Su Yang’s first move was a killing blow.

Facing Gu Qing, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

After all, his two junior brothers, one died from carelessness, and the other died from being caught off guard.

If he were to use a Supreme-grade Artifact and ordinary divine abilities to probe, wouldn’t that be following the old path of his two junior brothers?

Buzz!

The Great Sun Dharma Form appeared in the sky, and the Dharma Form resonated with heaven and earth, doubling his combat power.

The scorching and domineering sunlight illuminated the boundless starry sky, causing the void to twist and burn.

Su Yang was like a deity controlling the sun, and the longsword in his hand exuded Saint Dao laws, carrying a sword intent that could incinerate all things.

When he was at Venerable Realm first-tier, he used a Saint-grade Artifact and unleashed the Great Sun Demon Subduing divine ability, killing a Venerable Realm fifth-tier cultivator across realms.

Now, with his Venerable Realm sixth-tier cultivation, even against a Saint Realm cultivator, Su Yang could exchange a move or two.

And Gu Qing was only at Venerable Realm fourth-tier, so Su Yang was confident of a one-hit kill.

“You’ve gotten smarter. Then let you taste my Star Picking Hand.”

Gu Qing immediately went all out, reaching out with an empty grasp.

A sky-covering handprint suddenly appeared, wreathed in countless stars, like the hand of the universe, reaching for Su Yang’s longsword.

Boom!

The moment the Star Picking Hand covered the longsword, sword intent shot out, shattering countless stars.

The Star Picking Hand also dimmed and disintegrated instantly.

However, the power of the Great Sun Demon Subduing divine ability was also weakened by more than half.

Gu Qing then unleashed the Star Shattering Finger, flicking the longsword away. At the same time, Gu Qing seized the opportunity and then unleashed the Dao Pupil Divine Prison, his eyes flowing with Dao charm, his gaze like blades.

Two blades of light invaded Su Yang’s Purple Mansion, severely injuring Su Yang’s divine soul.

Gu Qing took the opportunity to continue with the Star Picking Hand, grasping Su Yang in his hand, digging out his Supreme Bone, and extracting Su Yang’s Sun Origin.

A series of movements flowed smoothly, completed within three breaths.

Su Yang hadn’t even reacted, and his body was gone, only his divine soul remaining.

“Stop…”

Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. How could Su Yang, whom he believed would definitely defeat Gu Qing, die even faster than his previous two disciples?

Su Yang was a protagonist with heaven-defying luck, invincible in battle, growing stronger with each fight, known as an unkillable cockroach.

Yet, strong as Su Yang was, he was defeated in an instant.

How terrifying was Gu Qing’s true strength?

Could he be an old monster who had hidden his cultivation?

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lin Xuan instantly snapped back to reality, his eyes immediately splitting with rage, and he attacked without the slightest hesitation.

“Boom!”

Jiang Yu appeared.

The void transformed into a vast expanse of Chaos, and Jiang Yu, like a peerless goddess emerging from ancient Chaos, pointed a finger that exploded Lin Xuan’s divine ability handprint.

“Jiang Yu...” Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted.

Didn’t they say that Jiang Yu and Gu Qing had fallen out?

Why was Jiang Yu still helping Gu Qing?

Moreover, Zhi Meng had already come out of seclusion.

Zhi Meng didn’t even bother, so why was Jiang Yu meddling in this business?

Lin Xuan looked at her, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

“Lin Xuan, you’re bullying the weak again. Do you have no shame?”

Jiang Yu’s beautiful divine face was icy cold, her sharp voice devoid of any emotion.

“I...”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan’s face was as ugly as it could be, and fury burned in his eyes.

Bullying the weak was nothing, but being caught red-handed, even though Lin Xuan rationalized his own rules, his old face still burned.

However, face wasn’t important.

Gu Qing had killed his disciple again.

Lin Xuan felt that he had been tricked.

“Master, why are you here?” Chu Yao glanced at Lin Xuan’s expression, thinking it was bad.

She immediately cried out in surprise, hoping to divert Lin Xuan’s attention with this.

She was not Gu Qing; she simply couldn’t withstand the furious retaliation of a Divine Fire Realm cultivator.
