With heavy rain and thunder, dazzling lightning flashed in the night sky soaked in an atmosphere of restlessness and violence.
The courtyard was still ablaze with lights. However, except the damp smell of rain, there was the blood smell mixed with murderous momentum rising in the air.
Rumble~
With a roll of thunder shocking the earth, a battle started inevitably since four or five figures rushed out.
With a serious look, Lin Xun brandished his saber swiftly. In the lightning, the plain blade was full of chill.
With a loud bang, a burly practitioner holding his two axes fought with Lin Xun.
While the saber and two axes collided, a terrible power burst out of Lin Xun’s slender body, making that practitioner fly out and break two walls. Then he fell to the ground and couldn’t stand up again.
Almost at the same time, a fist, as fast as the lightning, was slammed from the side to Lin Xun’s head. With a terrible black Gang Qi, the fist was like a fired shell.
Instead of avoiding it, Lin Xun threw him a hard punch with his left hand.
Crack!
A horrible sound of bones breaking suddenly arose. That fist was exploding, the flesh and bones broken, and even the arm was crushed.
Uttering a heartrending cry, the attacker, due to failing to withstand the power of Lin’s punch, fell into a courtyard in the distance and fainted in the twinkling of an eye.
Just in a few seconds, two practitioners were disabled completely. The whole process was as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood and the fight drew to an end so quickly!
However, from the beginning to the end, Lin Xun was calm as if he was a machine without emotion. In the rainstorm, his thin figure was like a straight spear. And the blood covering his Black Spirit saber was dripping and Lin was as cold as a killer from the hell.
The scene was horrible!
The only two practitioners left here had changed their looks. All of them were tough men who was cruel and fierce. Regardless of the cultivation of Human-gang Realm, in terms of rich experience and cruel means, they far exceeded any other ordinary practitioners.
But now, seeing the young man’s skillful, simple and cruel means to kill others, they were frightened.
Lin was just like a butcher killing countless people in the battlefield and the means he used to kill was quite simple but could kill someone at one blow! It was too hard to be mastered by an ordinary teenager!
These years, they had seen kittle-cattle with ruthless fighting style, but it was the first time they had met such an abnormal style.
It was like a fighting style of soldiers, but it seemed to be a little more terrifying!
Who was this young man?
The remaining two practitioners had been filled with fear, stepping back and even trying to run away, but they dared not to do it.
After all, the young man locked onto them since the beginning with his Qi. If they dared to escape, they were bound to suffer the most ferocious blow.
“Friend, who are you? We are not enemies and had no hatred, but why would you come here to kill us?” a practitioner said angrily.
Swish!
What responded to him was a cold blade. In the heavy rain, Lin Xun suddenly approached like lightning.
That practitioner felt a chill of apprehension and subconsciously ducked. But he had never thought that this saber was like an escape-proof net, which could cover the whole world. So that he had no place to escape.
The practitioner yelled and tried all his strength to wield the sword in his hand, trying to fight with Lin Xun. But this time he failed again.
The blade suddenly slid down against his sword, and then his hand holding the sword was cut off.
Almost at the same time, Lin Xun rushed over, grasped the opponent’s sword with his left hand and pierced[A1] it into the heart of that practitioner.
Puff!
The practitioner seemed to be struck by lightning, his bulging eyes full of disbelief, and he seemed to say something with his lips trembling. But eventually, his head was aslant and his body tumbled to the ground.
Whoosh~
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, another practitioner took advantage of the opportunity to rush out of the courtyard.
Lin Xun stood still, and a crossbow appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger. With a loud boom, a ball of dazzling colorful light, like the sunglow, exploded in the dark rainstorm night.
In a moment, the beautiful scene disappeared, and in front of the courtyard lay a body.
The corpse was horrific as if a hornet’s nest, with blood flowing across it.
Lin Xun picked up the short crossbow called “Burning Sunglow” and rushed out of the courtyard without hesitation.
The six enemies had been killed. And the sound of thunder and rain seemed to have drowned the happenings, which could not be hidden from the other practitioners. So he must leave now.
However, just the moment when Lin Xun stepped out of the courtyard, he suddenly realized danger was coming and swerved toward one side.
Swish!
As soon as he left his place, an arrow was inserted into his former position and broke a deep hole in the ground silently.
As a fit of worry rose in his heart, Lin Xun knew that overmatches finally came!
This arrow came so silently that was not noticed by Lin Xun until it was close to him. And the power was extremely strong. Obviously, the attack was from a fierce practitioner proficient in assassination!
Shielded by the door of the room, Lin Xun looked back at the direction where the arrow was fired. On the distant eaves, with heavy rain, only a vague gray figure could be seen in the dark night.
Benefiting from his great perception of soul, Lin could notice it.
Noticing that he failed to attack Lin Xun, that figure fled to the distance.
Almost at the same time, Lin Xun heard a voice as cold as a serpent, “Boy, I will kill you tonight!”
Immediately, the vague figure disappeared. It was clear that the mysterious assassin mastered some sort of secret skill to hide himself.
With a sneer, Lin Xun didn’t hurry to leave. He squatted down and looked at the deep hole in the ground.
For a while, he knew that this was not a crossbow but a true bow, with a kind of mysterious power. Its attack was so silent that it was almost impossible for an ordinary practitioner to defend effectively.
According to the power of this attack, the opponent must be in the Human-gang Realm, or even higher.
“If you want to fight with me, you have to survive tonight,” Lin Xun thought with a grim smile.
During the one year in Bloodthirsty Camp, there was a lot of training about hiding when assassinating. Few people knew that sexy and attractive Young Man was actually a master-level figure in the field of assassination.
And getting along with Young Man for a year, Lin Xun mastered the skills of assassination better than all the other trainees.
For example, when he participated in the war-zone assessment at Demon-cloud Ridge, Lin Xun spent a few days on the layout and killed a top assassin from Water Barbarian Branch in a thatched cottage.
That assassin’s name was Shriying, a second-class barbarian soldier comparable to a practitioner in Earth-gang Realm. The means of hiding he mastered was more horrible and weirder than that owned by the person he just met.
But in the end, Shriying was killed by Lin Xun, who was just at the ninth level of Martial Realm at that time!
…
Later, Lin Xun left the courtyard quietly.
Mist City was shrouded in the downpour, with thunder and lightning in the sky.
There were few pedestrians in the street. Only stray dogs barked and cats miaowed in the rain.
Lin Xun walked in the dark and was soaked by rain. But he seemed not to be bothered by it and kept walking forward.
The second batch of enemies had been resolved, and the third batch of goals, a group of followers from Azure-light Pavilion, would soon be resolved too.
The so-called followers, like hangers-on, were some practitioners serving the Azure-light Pavilion.
According to Chu Feng, nine followers in Azure-light Pavilion were sent this time. Lin should be specially on guard against two practitioners in Earth-gang Realm among them!
One was Chang Henshui, who joined Azure-light Pavilion more than ten years ago, and was extremely respected among all the followers with his cultivation in Earth-gang Realm.
Another one was Lu Zhong, a military practitioner who had just retired from the front line, boasted extremely fierce and high combat effectiveness.
This group of practitioners from Azure-light Pavilion would strike at midnight.
This time, Lin Xun still intended to come at them in advance. But when he arrived at their place, there was no one. Thinking for a while, he went back to his house.
It was quite common that there was a problem about the intelligence. Now that they were not in Azure-light Pavilion, they must take action early.
And if they wanted to kill a man, there was only one place for them to choose—the man’s house.
But when walking on a street not far from home, Lin Xun suddenly stopped and looked at the distance through the heavy rain with a pair of black eyes.
Rumble~
At this point, a crash of thunder stinging the eardrum rang in the sky, shocking the world. Brilliant lightning cracked and tore the darkness apart, giving the world a moment of brightness.
Buzz!
But it seemed that Lin Xun didn’t hear the sound of thunder or lightning; he only heard a shrill whistle.
At just one moment, the whistling sound suddenly became sharper, more than one, which clearly came from all sides.
Lin Xun was shocked, and he suddenly bent his body like a bow drawn to the full. And at the next moment, he backed with all his strength.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, many streaks of light covered the area within a more than 33-meter radius.
They were arrows, sharp and cold, with an astonishing piercing force. Intertwined with each other, they produced an unimaginable power.
In the midst of the terrible explosion, a huge hole was blasted on the ground in the middle of the street, and the nearby houses collapsed.
Lin Xun gasped and though that he would be bombarded into scraps if he was slow to react!
This was obviously an ambush!
Who revealed his whereabouts?
That vague figure he had met occurred to him. Then he was sure that it must be that assassin that did it!
“Kill him!”
“Friends from all the forces, kill him together!”
Many noises arose in all directions, particularly chilling in the rainstorm night.
According to Lin Xun’s judgement, in the nearby different streets in the range of thousands of meters, many figures were coming here. The number of people was so large that he couldn’t judge their power for a while!
But he knew that this ambush was obviously prepared by all those forces wanting to kill him!
In other words, they were most likely to have united for fully attacking at Lin at this point!
“These bastards, sending so many men to deal with me. They really think much of me…” Lin Xun murmured, with his black eyes full of cruelty, and the intention to kill surged in his heart.
At the next moment, he rushed into a street next to him, so fast like a shadow.
There were so many enemies. Once trapped in the siege, he would be killed!
In Lin Xun’s view, intricate streets and lanes of Mist City, enveloped in the rainstorm night, had become a natural battlefield for assassinations and raids.
Although there were many enemies, all of them would be killed one by one by Lin Xun as long as they couldn’t trap Lin!
