Chapter 166 (1/2)
The saber roar swept over like tide, leaving a direct impact on people’s hearts.
The power of RFS (Reaching for the Stars) this time became more formidable.
It was not just a normal battle technique at all. It was an inheritance which could deter people’s hearts; upon the utilization of the cultivation strength in a unique way, it could produce totally different power.
In the instant, that Barbarian Soldier was overcome with horror, and was in a trance, as if he was trapped in the eternal darkness. A scene unfolded before him: stars were burning and falling; everything in the world was crumbling; Heaven and Earth was in chaos.
Despair and terror were eroding his mind and soul like tide as if they wanted to drag him into the abyss.
Immediately, a ray of saber radiance showed up in the darkness out of nowhere. The Barbarian Soldier felt a sharp pain over all his body and subconsciously struggled to avoid it with his full strength.
Puff!
A visible deep wound expanding from his chest to his waist was left, with thick scarlet blood pouring out like a waterfall.
If he hadn’t dodged aside timely, he would have ended up being disemboweled.
He screamed. Though he avoided the fatal strike, he hit the ground hard more than 33 meters away. His face was ghastly pale as if he just brushed past the Death.
Terror and panic spread all over his body, leaving him frozen for a moment as if he fell into a trance because of scare. This strike was too horrendous and unexpected, causing a heavy blow to his soul.
It was beyond his imagination that a human teenager at the Martial Realm could launch such an unimaginatively terrifying strike.
“No. 3!” another Barbarian Soldier yelled in anger. Instead of chasing Lin Xun, he flashed and came up to his injured companion.
Lin Xun, who had originally wanted to kill that Barbarian Soldier at one fling, stopped immediately, knowing that he had missed the opportunity.
At the moment, Lin was breathing rapidly, and his face was a little pale. He could feel the tearing pain over his body, which was the sequela caused by performing the RFS.
With the experience of last time, he quickly took out some pills, put them into his mouth, and then said swiftly, “Let’s go!”
“Ah!” said Hu Long as if he just woke up from a dream. He was soaked in cold sweat. When the Barbarian Soldier launched an attack at them, he really doubted that he would die soon.
Surprisingly, Lin Xun in an instant made a move to help him survive the disaster. However, the feeling of being dragged back from the death line made him cold because of scare.
“What are you doing? Let’s go!”
Lin Xun grabbed Hu’s arm and rushed toward the outside of the jungle without caring about Hu’s will.
Lin’s unexpected strike wounded the Barbarian Soldier heavily, but if the other Barbarian Soldiers took precautions, it would be difficult to achieve the same effect.
More importantly, more than half of Lin’s strength was gone after he used the RFS. If the battle went on, he would be likely to end up being killed.
“Want to go? Dream of it!”
Suddenly, one more Barbarian Soldier of sturdy build appeared on the road ahead of Lin Xun and Hu Long.
Abruptly, Lin’s heart completely sank. He had thought that there were only two Barbarian Soldiers, but in fact one more was nearby!
Hu Long was so stunned that his face darkened immediately because of the sudden change. What the hell happened today? Why did three Barbarian Soldiers appear at the same time?
Did something abnormal happen in the Demon-cloud Ridge?
“It seems that we have to put up a desperate fight…”
Lin Xun took a deep breath. The gravity of the situation totally exceeded his expectation, and this turned out to be a real death crisis he had encountered in over a month after he entered the Demon-cloud Ridge.
He might die here because of one tiny careless action!
“I…”
Hu Long’s face was uncertain, as he was undergoing a fierce psychological struggle.
“No. 2, leave No. 3 be. Let’s work together to kill the two little guys!” said the stalwart Barbarian Soldier, who showed up just now, in a cold voice with his eyes full of cruelty.
As he spoke, he stomped on the ground, and then rushed at Lin and Hu like a flash of black lightning, leaving a residual shadow in the air.
“Die!”
A bronze spear appeared in his hand and stabbed them from the top, and Lin Xun and Hu Long were enveloped in the horrible wind it brought.
This round of attacks made a far-flung network and locked onto Lin and Hu from all possible directions, leaving them nowhere to retreat and avoid.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, pushed Hu Long beside him away, and then ran all his strength to gather in the saber in his hand.
Buzz!
The tide-like saber roar arose again as if a dragon or tiger roared, rocking the world.
In the instant, all the strength of Lin’s body seemed to be completely consumed, and he almost couldn’t hold up. But, in the end, he still performed the RFS for the second time.
Because of the terrible consumption, Lin’s face immediately became pale, and he coughed a mouthful of blood.
The effect of this strike was similarly remarkable. The enemy came to them quickly, so did his departure. He was blown away by the strike, falling hard onto the ground over 33 meters away and making an embarrassing gaffe.
But to Lin’s disappointment, the rival was just slightly wounded.
Of course, the RFS was as powerful as before, but the rival possessed greatly high combat effectiveness. Besides, he took precautions to defend himself, so the power of RFS was drastically reduced.
Boom!
As Lin Xun, out of the blue, felt a gust of terrifying wind hurtling at him, with his face darkening immediately, aware that the Barbarian Soldier named “No. 2” had seized the chance to launch a sneak attack.
Without the time to defend himself, Lin had to subconsciously dodge sideways.
However, the enemy had already seen it coming, so he quickly changed his move to rush at Lin. He seemed determined to kill Lin Xun at one fling just like a ghost didn’t go away.
