Chapter 211: A Crises of Danger Lurked in Here and There

Translator: Flying Lines

Running in the rainstorm, Lin Xun felt like he was in the Bloodthirsty Camp again and in an actual combat training of breakout and killing.

The circumstances were adverse, and there seemed to be countless enemies. It felt like to him that no matter which direction he hurtled towards, he would probably be confronted with them.

However, Lin Xun found the hazardous circumstances capable to arouse his passion, as if he, who had left the battlefield for a long time, returned to the battlefront again. The killing, smoke, and blood all were similar to what he had experienced in the Bloodthirsty Camp.

Lin Xun finally realized that the one-year training in the camp had unconsciously left an indelible mark on him.

At least, he seemed to be intrepid and brave confronted with danger.

Soon, there were a dozen practitioners appearing in Lin’s scope of sense.

Serious and combat-ready, those practitioners wanted to ambush him in different places respectively. Some of them hid in the two sides of the street about 3,333 meters away; some hid under the eaves or at the corners of the alleys; some directly stood on the center of the street with stern expressions on their faces.

The rainstorm and night formed a natural disguise, blurring their breath and figures.

However, the disguise was torn up as easily as a piece of voile by his sharp and strong perception of soul, which made them visible in his mind, warts and all.

Having sensed this status, Lin Xun didn’t make a stop to dodge them. Instead, he still ran forward at a unique rhythm.

What was different was that his black eyes turned more profound with hints of the intent to kill flashing across.

“Windstorm Millstone” started running swiftly inside his body, generating a thunderous sound.

If at daytime, it could be seen clearly that Lin Xun was surrounded by wisps of azure mist as clear as the glaze, which was a strange spectacle only caused by the purest spiritual gang power.

…

The target showed up!

The eyes of a dozen practitioners lying in wait for Lin Xun on the street froze for a moment, and then a thin figure appeared in their senses like lightning.

They all felt heartened with their intent to kill aroused and got ready to attack Lin Xun, especially the practitioners who directly stood on the center of the street.

They held their sabers high and pointed to the distance with their faces full of the surging intent to kill.

Whoever could destroy the target this time could be rewarded with 1,000 imperial gold coins!

They had waited for this chance for a long time, and they would kill the target for sure since the chance was here!

The drops of the rainstorm hit the hard ground as densely as the drumbeat, setting a serious and nervous atmosphere.

The target was getting closer and closer as if a panic beast on the run was about to walk right into the trap.

A thin man standing on the center of the street couldn’t help licking his lips with his eyes full of the apparent intent to kill.

When the target was dozens of meters away from him, he couldn’t hold back his intent to kill. After taking a deep breath, he was about to roar.

Boom! A earsplitting sound suddenly arose right at the moment like a thunderclap out of nowhere, making the thin man tremble and feel an unprecedented terror all over his body. The words that were just on the tip of his tongue couldn’t come out anymore.

That was because the sound was caused by the target, not a thunderclap!

Boom~

What he only saw was that a horrific stormy swirl suddenly emerged from the target and skyrocketed to the sky, sucking the heavy rain into itself with a deafening roar.

The target seemed to have disappeared if seen in the distance. A stormy swirl dozens of meters in height was left there, with the formidable momentum, sweeping the heavy rain!

What was it?

All the practitioners lying in ambush, the thin man included, changed their looks suddenly and felt shocked at the scene.

An inexplicably dangerous breath spread over their bodies like a tide and almost drowned them.

“Damn it! Kill him! Kill him!”

The thin man in the center of the street snarled loudly. However, his voice was drowned out immediately by the horrendous stormy roar.

Boom!

At the moment, the unimaginable power like a storm passing through abruptly swept the street, crushing the air to explode and oppressing the ground into powder.

The rainwater gushed out of the storm was like sharp arrows, rushing toward everywhere.

Puff~

The nearby houses and buildings were pierced into sieves instantly with the horrifying holes left on them. The piercing noise like a ghost’s cry arose on and off at the night.

Bang!

The thin man had been ready to defend himself with all his force, but his defense was destroyed as easily as a piece of paper in a blink of an eye. He was like being severely scraped by thousands of blades and fell onto the ground with his body cut into pieces.

His two companions beside him similarly ended up dead like him.

If you looked at carefully, you would see that the practitioners hidden under the eaves, on roofs, and at the corners of the alleys were pierced through by the rainwater and fell onto the ground dead in silence.

All this happened in a blink of an eye!

When a storm passed by, it indeed destroyed everything just like the autumn wind sweeping away the withered leaves!

However, those practitioners didn’t know before they died how their target killed them with one stroke, and why his stormy swirl was so terrifying.

Of course, Lin Xun had no chance to tell them that it was the power of “Windstorm Millstone”, a formidable force caused by a totally different first-class Pond of Spiritual Power from most of the others!

It was the first time for sure that Lin Xun had shown his real power after he reached the Human-gang Realm. The battle with Yuan Shu and Qi Yunxiao wasn’t a real one at all, leaving him no chance to display his power.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel shocked after witnessing the earth-shaking power he showed at that moment. He also knew better about his special Pond of Spiritual Power.

Why were those geniuses like Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, and Lee Duxing so eager to enter the Bloodthirsty Camp?

It was because they hoped to generate the perfect Pond of Spiritual Power in Gang-producing Lake.

Hence, it was of great significance for a practitioner at the Spirit Gang Realm to own a top-notch Pond of Spiritual Power!

The “Windstorm Millstone” owned by Lin was head and shoulders above those of ordinary practitioners.

Similarly, those practitioners from the noble forces in Mist City might have reached the Human-gang Realm many years ago. However, when it came to the cultivation basis and the rank of their Ponds of Spiritual Power, how could they be a match for Lin Xun?

Lin Xun continued to run forward without thinking too much.

If he wanted to take down all the rivals, he had to break out of the encirclement set up by his rivals. Thus, he would then become a predator, not prey, totally changing his situation and position. At the same time, he could take advantage of the geographical conditions to counterattack his enemies!

Lin Xun was sure that he didn’t successfully make a breach yet, for the real badass hadn’t appeared. According to the intelligence he got, many of the practitioners who would assassinate him tonight were in the realm of Earth-gang, such as Chang Henshui and Lu Zhong, the powerful followers of Azure-light Pavilion.

…

A bunch of practitioners hurriedly got there shortly after Lin Xun left, many of who felt a chill of apprehension subconsciously upon seeing the destruction of the street.

The heavy rain couldn’t wash the blood on the ground away completely. Those bodies lay on the ground in different miserable forms in different places. Even the street and houses were severely damaged as if they were crumbled to pieces by an invisible hand.

The bloody scene was so horrific that many practitioners couldn’t help but stop and gasp with terror.

What kind of formidable power on earth could play such havoc?

Some practitioners who had as sharp eyes as eagles could tell from the scene that their fellows were killed at the same time!

They thereby felt astounded and bloodcurdling, for they deeply understood for the first time that the target, who had defeated Yuan Shu and Qi Yunxiao, was more powerful than they thought.

In other words, they had underestimated the enemy’s strength!

They had originally considered this an easy task where so many practitioners were gathered up to kill a teenager just at the Human-gang Realm. But it was beyond their imagination that the teenager possessed such a terrible fighting capacity!

Many practitioners became vigilant and discreet, and they suddenly came to realize that this night seemed longer than usual…

…

When some practitioners stood transfixed with shock, Lin Xun met a powerful rival for the first time tonight.

It was a sturdy middle-aged man with a calm demeanor. With a dark golden spear in his hand, he looked like a brave fighter from a battlefield, releasing the strong Gang Qi.

What differentiated him from the Human-gang-realm practitioners was the great rich Gang Qi of him, presenting a unique breath mutually compatible with the earth.

That was the momentum of an Earth-gang-realm practitioner!

“Kill!” shouted the sturdy middle-aged man.

When he saw Lin Xun, he showed his abundant fighting experience. He directly hurtled toward Lin Xun with the dark golden spear in an unstoppable, fierce, and ruthless way.

The dark golden spear with the dazzling golden light around disturbed the airflow like a trace of holy golden light from heaven, releasing a terrible power.

Clang~~

Lin Xun hadn’t seen this coming, so he had to meet it head-on. As the Black Spirit saber collided with the dark golden spear, they caused an ear-piercing noise.

It felt like two mountains colliding with each other, and the terrific power caused by them made his right hand numb and his body shake. Deep down, he thereby felt stunned.

Was this the power of an Earth-gang-realm practitioner?

The middle-aged man felt more astounded than Lin Xun. The strike from him could easily kill most of the practitioners in the Human-gang Realm. However, unexpectedly, the teenager looked unscathed after meeting the strike!

“Kill!”

The middle-aged man wasn’t hesitant to launch another attack at all regardless of the surprise in his heart. As the former strike didn’t kill Lin Xun, he swept his spear toward Lin Xun again.

Boom~~

The air was like being crushed into collapse with the scary explosive noise.

Lin Xun had made a move earlier before the attack approached him!

When he turned around, he used his shoulder to hit the wall of a nearby building with the force from his waist. After a flash, he rushed into the hole in the wall and disappeared.

As soon as he left there, an arrow appeared silently and was stuck in the same place where he had stood on, leaving a bottomless hole on the ground!

The middle-aged man also spotted the scene and unconsciously changed his look slightly. He eventually learned that Lin Xun wasn’t forced away by him at all but made a dodge because of a hidden danger.

What surprised the middle-aged man the most was that he hadn’t noticed the soundless arrow all the way…
