Chapter 309: Blood Stained the Bottom of the River

Proofread by Claire.KK

While mediating and healing himself, Lin Xun suddenly opened his eyes.

He was acutely aware that the invisible waves released by the Waking Globe showed signs of shaking.

Here came the enemy!

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. It was only one hour since he started to meditate on the bottom of the river. It was obvious that the enemy wanted to take advantage of his serious injury so they came quickly at this time.

Lin Xun held the Flowing-light Saber in his right hand and grasped a Standardized Supreme Crossbow in his left hand, quietly burying himself at the mouth of the cave. The huge power of his perception spread in the water.

Almost in a moment, Lin Xun realized that there were dozens of figures approaching here in the surging water.

As the enemy was getting closer, Lin Xun’s eyes were becoming colder. Although he was seriously injured, he was not afraid of any enemy by virtue of the power of Amrita Saint Pearl on the bottom of the river, where there was extremely large pressure.

The pressure on the bottom of the river was indeed extremely strong. If there came down an ordinary people, he would bleed and suffocate due to oppression.

Even Gang Spirit Realm practitioners couldn’t dive underwater for a long time. When he moved on the bottom of the river, he would suffer great resistance and could only exert half of their normal strength at most once they fight with others.

Only Sea Spirit Realm practitioners could walk under the water as on the ground because they had begun to communicate the Qi of sky and earth with their inner breath and could resist the pressure both in the air and water.

So those who dive down now were obviously suffering from great pressure and resistance. Their movements were sluggish as they were walking in the mire.

Whoosh~~

As the water surged, a practitioner approached the cave on the bottom of the river.

When he was just near, puff, a light of the blade flashed in his sight; and his throat was cut off easily before he could see the scene in the cave.

He looked stunned. How could that flash of light be so fast? It was almost unaffected by the resistance in the water. He was so confused until the moment he died.

Scarlet blood gushed out like a tide, dyeing the river red, beautiful and frightening.

Clattering~

At this time, dozens of practitioners in the distance discovered the anomalies here. They rushed together, releasing their spirit and crushing the water waves like monsters in the water.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, Lin Xun flashed like lightning. With a tittering sound, he had rushed to an enemy and cut the enemy’s belly out with his saber.

Bang!

The Standardized Supreme Crossbow in Lin’s left hand shot arrows violently at the same time, dragging out a fast water flow, piercing the head of an enemy more than 33 meters away.

The enemy was holding a short crossbow in his hand. Unfortunately, he had no chance to pull the trigger again.

Boom~~

The enemy all came with several spiritual weapons, disturbing the area like turning over the river. The fish darted away like headless chickens and the water grass danced wildly, making the vision blurred.

To their surprise, the target was different from them under the large-pressure water. His speed was as fast as electricity, as undetectable as ghosts! His movement was unaffected at all. What was more, he appeared flexible than fish in the water!

Even if they use short crossbows, they could not aim at the target exactly.

Was this guy a water monster?

The enemy was frightened and thrilled.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The water was rolling, the sand was surging. The dancing water grass and the tempestuous waves made the bottom of the river look like suffering an earthquake.

In this chaotic situation, the enemy fell down one after another. They were cut by the saber or shot by the crossbow-arrow to death.

For a while, a mass of red blood surged up, making the chaotic water stained with startling red.

The most terrible thing was that, those practitioners could not open their mouth at all. They couldn’t even call for help. So the fight went on in a dull way, making the bloody scene filled with fright.

Kill!

As Lin Xun was seriously injured, his fighting ability remained only 20% at most. But on the bottom of the water, he acted like a ghost, easily taking away all the l.

Some practitioners felt too threatened to continue their fighting. They run madly towards the top of the river.

But in the end, they died first under Lin Xun’s incomparable speed.

So a slaughter full of despair, helplessness, death, terror and blood was staged on the bottom of the river.

…

By the river

“Boss, I have put the remaining 1922 people at the turning and branches of the river as you ordered.”

“And each Ziying Battleship monitors every ten kilometers. All the Wind-shadow Hawks have been sent out. In such a case, we could even detect the changes at the first time even a small tortoise lift its head out of water. ”

Young Mu quickly reported.

The bamboo hatted man nodded his head. This arrangement made him feel quite at ease.

He looked at the river quietly. The 50 practitioners who had been sent before were all proficient in swim. Now they had been in the water for nearly 15 minutes.

News would come soon by no accident.

Crash!

All of a sudden, a corpse rushed out of the turbulent river, which made the bamboo hatted man and Young Mu’s pupils shrank. Their faces suddenly changed.

The corpse was swept away by the rolling water immediately, and there was no time to salvage it.

“How could this happen?”

“The target is not dead! He hides himself under the water!”

“The body seems to be the junior Wu!”

There were still hundreds of practitioners standing behind the bamboo hatted man. When they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but cry out.

It was appalling. The target was chased and killed all the way by five Ziying Battleships so he was seriously injured before. The moment he dived into the river, five Ziying Battleships attacked him with full firepower. But the target was still alive with such attacks!

Who could believe that?

The most terrible thing was that the target did not sneak away on the bottom of the river. Instead, he killed a practitioner who dived into the water by the protection of the river!

Couldn’t he be killed?

What a pervert!

Even the bamboo hatted man and Young Mu couldn’t believe this fact. It was out of their imagination and full of mystery.

Gurgling~

Before their reaction, more corpses came up on the turbulent river and then were carried away by the surging water.

The turbid river also began to be tinted red, which was the color of blood. Although it was diluted by the flow and disappeared from time to time, new blood appeared soon.

This meant that people were being killed from time to time in the fighting on the bottom of the river!

The bamboo hatted man and Young Mu felt chilled all over and dull for a while. They couldn’t kill the target even when he was injured!?

Behind them, a group of practitioners’ faces were also changeable and their heart trembled. Where did the target come from? His fighting power was too abnormal! His vitality was more tenacious like he was an immortal. How could there be such a person in the world?

A moment later, there was no body appearing on the river anymore, but Young Mu’s face was extremely gloomy. His voice was bitter and he said hoarsely, “Boss, I’ve counted the bodies. There are fifty of them, none of them survived.”

Veins throbbed on the bamboo hatted man’s forehead, and blood rushed to his face. His lips were twitching, and his teeth were almost broken by hard gnashing. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, “Tell me, is that young man really immortal?”

Young Mu sighed. He couldn’t answer this question so he changed the topic, “Boss, it’s not feasible to dive into the water to kill the target now. What should we do if the target keeps hiding in the water?”

This was a serious question. Although they made numerous practitioners control along the river, they could not wait here all the time.

The target took it easy to hide in the water, but they couldn’t spend too much time in waiting without doing anything. The supplies they had now were not enough for these thousands of practitioners.

In addition, driving five Ziying Battleship required a lot of high-level spiritual crystals. Its cost was an unimaginable astronomical figure as time went by.

“Send back the news and tell Princess Mei the situations now. Listen to her command then!”

After a long time thought, the bamboo hatted man sighed deeply, showing bitterness and helplessness.

They had sent all their forces outside the Yellow Dragon City, wanting to put all their eggs in one basket and made a showdown.

Who would believe that a well-designed all-round-net hunt would be frustrated by so many twists and turns? By now, the situation was somewhat out of control. How could the bamboo hatted man accept this reality?

He clearly knew that if he failed this time, he would not find much chance to deal with the target on the way to the Forbidden City later…

In the same way, they could not hand the failure to Chi Cangmei because they couldn’t bear the consequences of it!

But in today’s situation, it was impossible for him to hide the problem. He must tell the truth and let her decide herself.

“Boss, do you really want to do this?”

Young Mu couldn’t help but say.

“We all contribute to this task, but the enemy is too powerful!”

The bamboo hatted man patted Young Mu’s shoulder and said, “Since we have tried our best, Princess Mei will decide the rest.”

Young Mu was silent. He felt very bad. After a long time, he gnashed his teeth and claimed, “We don’t fail yet. At least the target couldn’t leave the river under our control! I will fight till the last minute! ”

Then he turned and left.

“Of course we didn’t lose, but up to now, there are not many people who have such fighting morale as you…”

The bamboo hatted man sighed in his heart.

A powerful target was not the key to destroy an action, but the collapse of fight morale was!

In an old mansion of the Forbidden City

“It was said in the news yesterday that Lu Shaoyun had been forcibly imprisoned and would eventually be disposed of by the Lu Family.”

A deputy smiled and said, “Guess, who made this order?”

“Who?”

Many people were curious.

“It’s Lu Tianzhao, Lu Shaoyun’s father! Aha, Lu Shaoyun is doomed to be shameless and can’t live in the Forbidden City again! Even his father has got a bad reputation of ‘punishing relatives with justice’!”

Everyone laughed. This was the end of him offending them. Dared Lu Shaoyun help Lin Xun to fight with them?

It was the same as looking for abuse!

Seeing this, Chi Cangmei frowned a little. Why they felt so proud and happy to deal with a dandy who was ignorant and incompetent?

She didn’t take Lu Shaoyun seriously from the beginning to the end. Such a person couldn’t deserve her attention at all.

Bang!

The door was pushed open at this time. A guard came in with a look of anxiety, his head covered with heavy sweat.
