Chapter 209 (1/2)

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.
