Chapter 2431 Accept Your Fate!

The battle continued and intensified.

The City Lords of the five cities of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain were not like the other ordinary Perfected Immortals in the hall. Instead, they were top-tier experts qualified to fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking at the Nine Firmament Immortal Meet.

Lin Lei’s combat strength was heaven-defying and his physique was shocking. Despite his high consumption, he could still fight against the four City Lords and remain undefeated!

Both parties were in a stalemate after a long battle and neither of them could break out of the situation within a short period of time.

Su Zimo was puzzled.

Lin Lei’s trump cards were endless and his talent in combat was indeed far superior to others.

However, right from the beginning, Lin Lei had not released that mysterious footwork.

In the past, when Su Zimo’s life was hanging by a thread, he was inspired and was lucky to use it once. He knew very well how powerful that mysterious footwork was.

If he were to use that footwork, Lin Lei would definitely be able to break the current stalemate!

Su Zimo glanced at Lin Luo beside him and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, asking the question in his mind.

“You mean the Nine Palace Subtle Steps?”

Lin Luo was surprised. “I’ve seen you use it once before. So, you don’t know the origin of this footwork?”

Su Zimo nodded.

Even so, Lin Luo explained patiently, “The Nine Palace Subtle Steps is a secret skill that mother could only master after obtaining an ancient inheritance.”

“This secret skill is complicated and mysterious. Mother once imparted it to father, brother and me. Father and brother are both people with extraordinary talent and heaven-defying comprehension, but they still couldn’t understand the crux of it.”

“There’s such a strange thing?”

Su Zimo was extremely surprised.

He did not understand Lin Lei. However, for the Human Monarch to be able to rise against the tides in Tianhuang Mainland and lead the human race to create a glorious era, his talent, opportunities and comprehension were naturally one in a billion.

However, even Senior Human Monarch could not comprehend the Nine Palace Subtle Steps—this could not be a matter of comprehension and endowment.

Lin Luo continued, “The Nine Palace Subtle Steps involves a wide range of techniques, including astrology, Yin and Yang, the five elements, prognostication and many other Dharmic Daos. The calculations are precise and fine.”

“Yet, it’s strange. I didn’t cultivate the Nine Palace Subtle Steps for long before I was able to master it.”

Pausing for a moment, Lin Luo asked curiously, “What’s up with you being able to release the Nine Palace Subtle Steps, though? Initially, I thought that my mother had imparted it to you.”

“No.”

Su Zimo hesitated for a moment. “Back then, I only managed to release it by a freak coincidence.”

“How can there be a coincidence as such?”

Lin Luo’s eyes widened.

After a while, she continued, “My brother inherited more of my father’s Dharmic Dao while I inherited more of my mother’s Dharmic Dao.”

Su Zimo nodded to himself.

From this battle, it could be seen that Lin Lei’s moves were ferocious, wide and torrential, resembling the glory of the Human Monarch in the past.

Su Zimo recalled something and instructed, “If there’s a chance later, leave as soon as possible with your brother. Don’t worry about me. I have a Teleportation Jade Badge in my storage bag and I can leave at any moment.”

Lin Luo was puzzled. Just as she was about to ask, Song Xuan’s expression changed.

Although he could not hear what Su Zimo and Lin Luo were talking about, he could sense an extremely dense spirit consciousness fluctuation between the two of them.

Without any warning, Song Xuan suddenly turned around and grabbed Lin Luo by the throat, lifting the latter up from the ground!

Against the pressure of Song Xuan’s spirit consciousness, Su Zimo could not move at all.

“Ah!”

Lin Luo exclaimed.

Lin Lei, who was in the midst of the battle, sensed something and caught sight of this from the corner of his eye. He could not help but feel enraged and his blood surged as he roared, “Song Xuan, let go of her!”

In a battle of this level, both parties were top-tier experts and could not afford to be distracted.

Lin Lei was worried about his sister’s safety. In his distraction, he revealed an opening and was grabbed by the four City Lords. They attacked at the same time and released incomparably ferocious attacks!

Song Xuan let go of Lin Luo and smiled.

Naturally, he would not really hurt Lin Luo. He merely wanted to make use of Lin Luo to distract Lin Lei!

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The head and arms conjured by Three Heads Six Arms were ruptured by the attacks of the four City Lords one after another, turning into streams of True Essence that dissipated on the spot.

The tides had reversed instantly!

Even so, Lin Lei could still defend against the ferocious attacks of the four City Lords with his powerful blood qi and heaven-defying combat strength.

“Jade Shattering Palm!”

Right then, a soft call sounded from the battlefield.

Song Xuan had finally attacked!

His timing was extremely precise. When he attacked, Lin Lei was at his weakest after defending against the encirclement of the four City Lords.

Song Xuan slapped out with his palm and True Essence condensed. Boundless jade qi spilled out and enveloped Lin Lei, freezing him continuously!

Instantly, Lin Lei’s body was covered by a jade luster and he seemed to have transformed into a jade statue that could not move at all!

Piak!

Song Xuan slapped down.

The jade shattered!

Lin Lei landed heavily on the ground and got up. Before he could do anything, his body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood he spat out fell to the ground and turned solid like jade!

“Brother!”

Lin Luo cried tragically.

However, she was suppressed on the spot by Jiang Xuanyou and could not advance at all. She could only watch helplessly.

Lin Lei’s face was pale and his body swayed. Gripping the Black Mystic Battle Halberd tightly with both hands, he barely managed to support his body and not kneel down.

“Fufu.”

Song Xuan chuckled. “Lin Lei, it’s already impressive that you survived my Jade Shattering Palm. Do you still want to fight?”

Young Master Lan Tian and the other three descended from midair as well, looking at Lin Lei with mocking gazes.

At that moment, Lin Lei’s bloodline was transforming continuously, slowing down and turning jade-like.

If his entire bloodline was assimilated, he would have to abandon this body!

“Despicable scum!”

Lin Lei cursed angrily, “As a City Lord, you ambushed him from the back. How shameless!”

“The victors reign and it’s useless no matter what you say!”

Song Xuan pouted and sneered in disapproval.

Lin Lei said coldly, “So what if I lose? If you dare to kill me, the few of you can dream about living as well!”

“Brother Lin, you must be joking. Why do I need your life?”

Song Xuan smiled. “The two of you are merely bait.”

“You…”

Lin Lei’s expression changed and his heart sank as he thought of a possibility.

The purpose of these people was to get his mother to rush over!

At that time, if the Immortal Kings of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain were alarmed, not only would their families be destroyed, even the Battle Kingdom would be completely annihilated!

“Have you finally guessed it?”

Song Xuan’s smile intensified.

Lin Luo understood as well and suddenly shouted, “Brother, hurry and leave! Tell mother not to come over and protect father and the Battle Kingdom. Don’t worry about me!”

Lin Lei looked at Lin Luo with a pained and conflicted expression.

“It’s too late. None of you will be able to escape.”

Song Xuan did not stop Lin Luo’s reminder and merely shook his head with a mocking expression.

Young Master Lan Tian and the others released their spirit consciousnesses one after another and locked onto Lin Lei. As long as the latter made any strange movements, they would attack immediately!

They would not even give Lin Lei a chance to make use of his teleportation jade talisman to escape!

Song Xuan raised his head slightly and looked down at Lin Lei, saying proudly, “Lin Lei, from the moment you arrived here, the outcome of the Lin family and the Battle Kingdom was already decided and no one can change it!”

“Accept your fate!”

A look of confusion, helplessness and despair flashed through Lin Lei’s eyes as he gradually released his grip on the Black Mystic Battle Halberd.

Right then, a purple-robed man entered the hall.
