Chapter 2545 Rampage
The black-robed man still had one foot firmly planted on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s back, but the gentleness in his expression had vanished, replaced by solemnity.
Under Lin Xun's gaze, which was filled with silent disdain and cold indifference, the black-robed man felt as though his inner sense of dignity was being directly provoked.
Beside him, the graceful woman in the long dress holding a yellow scroll spoke aloud, “In my view, it’s best to take a step back and let things settle peacefully.”
The black-robed man’s lips twitched slightly into a bitter smile. “Miss, could you not shake our morale at a time like this?”
He rubbed his face with both hands, exhaled slowly, and when he looked at Lin Xun again, his gaze had become as sharp as a cold blade. A terrifying murderous intent surged in his eyes, swirling like a vortex.
The woman in the long dress shook her head helplessly and said nothing more. She could already tell that if the black-robed man didn’t overcome this hurdle, his state of mind would likely suffer for it.
The mindset required for cultivating the dao had always been subtle and complex. In particular, for cultivators known for being ruthless in battle and relentless in their pursuit of progress, what seemed like a peaceful retreat might in truth signify fear. In addition, such fear could dull the edge of the will they had honed over countless years.
This was especially true if he backed down before even making a move. Then in the future, whenever he recalled this moment, it would likely gnaw at him and become a mental block in his cultivation.
Therefore, the woman in the long dress did not attempt to persuade him further. Everyone’s dao heart was ultimately different. Whether it meant following their heart without overstepping boundaries or forging a will as unyielding and indestructible as iron.
“You’ll have to get past me first,” said the black-robed man, giving Lin Xun a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
His aura changed, becoming as majestic as a mountain, sharp as a blade. Even his spring-like smile could not hide his sharpness.
Seeing this, Lin Xun remained unfazed. He pointed to Xiang Xiaoyuan who was still under the black-robed man’s foot and said, “If anything happens to her, I guarantee your death will be anything but easy.”
