Chapter 85 (1/2)
It was early morning, not far from dawn.
Lin Xun had been practicing hard. The wounds all over his body were not serious. After applying the spiritual medicine, he would completely heal in three or five days.
Thanks to the fact that his physical strength had become so much more powerful than before, that ordinary sword cuts did not matter as long as the vital parts were not hurt.
At this moment, Lin Xun was deducing the Six-word Saberplay in his mind.
In the bloody battle at the Black-tiger Gang’s headquarters, he alone killed dozens of practitioners in Martial Realm. At that moment, he was totally immersed in the battle and had no chance to carefully analyze the details of the battle.
But now, he got a lot of inspirations.
Combat was neither mere paper talk, nor work behind closed doors. Six-word Saberplay comprised of only six moves, namely splitting, tangling, spinning, shaking, stabbing, and stripping, each with profound meanings. It was a peculiar saber-play, deadly and abstruse.
However, after all, the Six-word Saberplay was a fighting skill, which was created for fighting. If Lin Xun wanted to understand and master its mystery and essence, he must fight.
In the past, with not much combat experience, Lin Xun had only practiced the Six-word Saberplay to the level of Nuance by his painstaking efforts and felt hard to break through.
But now, having experienced a bloody battle and comprehended the meaning of life and death, Lin Xun was enlightened.
The subtle key points which were not understood in the past were all coming to mind now, and were gradually understood.
“With a little more fighting experience, I should be able to reach Accuracy level of Six-word Saberplay…”
Lin Xun knew that this night’s bloody battle had given him a deeper understanding of the Six-word Saberplay, as well as a new improvement in his mastery and cognition of power.
When a conversation broke out outside the courtyard, Lin noticed it. He immediately got up and went out.
It was late at night. Dawn was coming, and the fighting in Civilian Areas was beginning to diminish.
In front of Lin Xun’s house, Gu Yanping, a strong practitioner at the realm of Gang Spirit, was personally attending to garrison duty, and the possibility of being attacked by other gangs had been completely cut off.
Who would come at this time?
When walking out of the courtyard, Lin Xun saw an unexpected person – Wang Lin, a treasure appraiser of Keystone Business!
Lin Xun was particularly unexpected that instead of coming alone, Wang Lin brought a lot of subordinates, in whose hands a bloody head was held respectively!
Had Mu Wansu heard about what happened tonight, so she sent Wang Lin to support him out of conscience?
As soon as the idea entered Lin’s mind, it was immediately rejected by him.
Mu Wansu was clear-cut on what to love and what to hate, and had showed a determined attitude. If she wanted to help him, she would have made some arrangements when the Black-tiger Gang was ready to deal with him. How could she have made no move until now?
Then, what did Wang Lin come for?
Lin Xun was not quite sure about it. He was sent away from Keystone Business by Wang Lin a few days ago. Even though he knew it was the idea of Mu Mingsu, Lin Xun still had a bit of grudge.
On that day, he personally sent the Flaming Spirit Saber to Keystone Business. Originally, he thought that the other party would appreciate it, and also it could be understood as a repayment to their previous kindness. He did not expect that he was ordered to leave, which was a bit unpleasant.
Wang Lin was talking with Gu Yanping, and seeing Lin Xun appear, he immediately laughed and said, “Childe Lin, I hope that you will not blame me on disturbing you late at night.”
Without the intention of inviting Wang Lin into the home, Lin Xun laughed and said, “Uncle Wang is too polite.” The attitude was neither cold nor hot, neither humble nor pushy. Seeing this, Wang Lin could not help but sigh in his heart. This lad still held a grudge.
But Wang Lin smiled more friendly, saying, “I heard late at night there seemed to be some villains trying to pick on Childe Lin, so I led some people to rush here for support. Along the way we met some bad guys. Hearing that they would come here and make trouble, I took liberties to take them down.”
Speaking of this, he pointed to a bunch of heads in the hands of the subordinates nearby, and said, “Please look at these. There seem to be some important people from the Green-bamboo Gang.”
Lin Xun understood immediately, Wang Lin came to show friendliness. He had obviously found out the relationship between Lin and the Shuangmu Gang. To show sincerity, he took the men from Green-bamboo Gang down to make amends for his fault.
But, why did Wang Lin do this?
Obviously, change of Wang’s attitude must be related to the Flaming Spirit Saber that was sold to Golden Hall some days ago. Wang Lin came here possibly because that he had already guessed something and made up his mind to be friendly with Lin.
“Thanks, Uncle Wang.” Lin Xun cupped his hands.
“Ha ha, this is nothing. As long as Childe you are safe and sound, it’s enough.”Wang Lin laughed loudly.
“Lin Xun, it’s nearly dawn. Since the situation is stable, then I will not stay here any longer. Farewell.” Gu Yanping suddenly said.
“Uncle Gu, please wait for a moment.”
Lin Xun suddenly remembered something. He hurried back to the house, and when he came back, he gave Gu Yanping a bundle, saying, “This is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it.”
