The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 45 Lu Xuan is dead? Lin Tianjie is dead!

"Strange? Why hasn't the young master come out yet?"

An ominous premonition rose in the Lin family steward's heart.

Logically speaking, with Lin Pojun, a Soul Platform Realm expert, and six Spirit Sea Realm assassins protecting him, the young master should be able to roam freely in this Demon Hunting Forest.

How could it be that it hasn't come out yet?

Could something have gone wrong?

Just then, Crown Prince Lu Heng and Sixth Prince Lu Ming were teleported out.

Although the two were somewhat disheveled, they were in much better condition than the others.

Upon their arrival, the two immediately adopted expressions of utter grief.

"Third brother! My dear third brother!"

Lu Heng beat his chest and stamped his feet, his eyes red and his voice choked with sobs.

"It's because I'm incompetent! I couldn't save you!"

"That's a third-tier demonic beast, the Fiery Demon Ape! Even a Soul Platform Realm expert would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying if they encountered it, how could you... have such bad luck!"

Lu Ming, standing to the side, was also wiping away tears, looking sorrowful.

"Although Third Brother is a bit eccentric in his daily life, he is still our brother."

"To think that I would die as a beast's belly, without even a complete corpse, is truly heartbreaking!"

The two performers' expressive and engaging performance quickly captured the attention of the entire audience.

"What? The Carefree Prince is dead?"

"We encountered a third-tier demonic beast, the Fiery Demon Ape? Good heavens, that's a terrifying existence equivalent to the mid-to-late stage of the Soul Platform Realm!"

"What a pity, such a genius of formations, he fell before he could even show his talent."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Some felt sorry, but many more were gloating.

Upon hearing this, Elder Chi Huo's expression changed slightly, and he sighed helplessly.

Although he had high hopes for Lu Xuan, in such a desperate situation, it was indeed difficult for a junior who had just broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm to survive.

"Hmph, it's better that he's dead, so I won't have to worry about him later."

Upon seeing this, Yin Wuji secretly sneered in his heart.

Lin Tianjie is dead.

But as long as Lu Xuan dies, his mission cannot be considered incomplete.

Anyway, his relationship with the Lin family was just a collaboration, not a superior-subordinate one.

As long as it looks presentable, that's fine.

As time passed, the light from the teleportation array grew dimmer, indicating that the trial was nearing its end.

However, Lin Tianjie did not appear until the very last moment.

Now, not only the Lin family steward, but also representatives of other surrounding forces noticed that something was wrong.

"Why hasn't the young master of the Lin family come out yet?"

"Could it be... that he died in there too?"

"Impossible! The Lin family sent many skilled individuals in to protect them this time, how could they not even be able to protect their own young master?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, a chill creeping into their hearts.

If even a young master from a prestigious family like Lin Tianjie, who has bodyguards protecting him, died inside, then the cruelty of this trial is beyond imagination.

Crown Prince Lu Heng was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

Is Lin Tianjie dead?

OK!

Good riddance.

The Lin family only has this one promising son. If he dies, all of Lin Ruofu's resources will fall on my shoulders.

"It seems this trial is truly a matter of life and death."

Lu Heng made a feigned sigh, but his heart was filled with schadenfreude.

Just when everyone thought that everything had settled down and that Lu Xuan and Lin Tianjie had both perished in the forest.

"Buzz!"

The teleportation array, which was about to close, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light once more.

Immediately afterwards, a tall, slender figure slowly walked out from within.

His black robe was somewhat torn and stained with blood, but his posture remained upright like a pine tree, and his expression was calm as still water.

It was... Lu Xuan!

"What?! He's not dead?!"

Lu Heng and Lu Ming, who were still basking in the joy of losing their brother, looked at this face as if they had seen a ghost.

"How...how is this possible?"

"That's the Fiery Demon Ape, how could he have survived?"

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

All eyes were fixed on the slowly approaching boy, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The steward of the Lin family changed his expression drastically, and the unease in his heart turned into fear.

Lu Xuan was the last to come out.

The teleportation array is now closed.

What about the young master?

Could it be that, young master...

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

Ignoring the various gazes of the people around him, Lu Xuan walked straight to the foot of the platform and bowed to Elder Chi Huo.

Elder Chi Huo recovered from his shock and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Good! Good! It's good that you're alive!"

"Now that you're out, bring out your spoils."

"According to the rules, as long as you obtain a Spirit Sea Realm demon core, you can advance to the next level."

In Elder Chi Huo's opinion, it was already a blessing that Lu Xuan was able to come out alive. As for the demon core, one was enough.

After all, he had encountered a third-tier demon beast.

The people around them thought so too.

It's a miracle that he was able to escape from the pursuit of a third-tier demon beast. How could he possibly have the energy to hunt any more demon beasts?

"I guess he barely managed to save his life."

"Look at all that blood on him, he must have escaped in a terrible state."

Lu Heng and Lu Ming comforted themselves, saying that although Lu Xuan was not dead, which disappointed them, he was still a joke as long as he could not produce any decent results.

However, the next moment.

Lu Xuan reached into his robes and pulled out a fist-sized bead, its entire body a fiery red, radiating terrifying heat and a violent aura.

As the bead appeared, the surrounding air became hot and dry, and a powerful pressure belonging to a third-tier demon beast swept across the entire area!

"This...this is..."

Elder Chi Huo suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the bead.

"The demon core of a third-tier demonic beast... the Flaming Demon Ape?!"

boom!

These words caused an uproar throughout the room.

"What?! A third-tier demon core?!"

"He...he didn't kill that Flame Demon Ape, did he?!"

"How is this possible? He's only at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

Everyone has gone mad.

What does it mean to kill a third-tier monster?

This means that Lu Xuan possesses the strength to kill a Soul Platform Realm expert on his own!

It is even far superior to the ordinary Soul Platform Realm!

After all, at the same level, the physical body and innate supernatural abilities of demonic beasts far surpass those of humans. To kill such a third-tier demonic beast in one go, one would need at least the strength of the mid-to-late stage of the Soul Platform Realm!

Crown Prince Lu Heng and Sixth Prince Lu Ming were completely dumbfounded.

The two stood there dumbfounded, their heads buzzing.

The piece of trash they painstakingly tried to get rid of turned out to be a monster capable of single-handedly killing a third-tier demon beast?

The two of them were immediately filled with a deep sense of despair.

No.

We must unite.

Only in this way might there be a glimmer of hope.

The scene of them being crushed in the Demon Hunting Forest is still vivid in my mind. If it weren't for the appearance of the Demon Ape, they would all have died at the hands of the third brother!

……

At this moment, the Lin family steward's mood was not much different from that of the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince.

I am devastated, as if I have lost my parents!

He has accepted the fact that his young master is gone.

Finished!

It's all over!
