Chapter 220 (1/2)

It was too late for Residual Snow to dodge. At this critical time, he chose to protect his head and chest with arms crossed.

Bang!

Just after he had finished his defense, a silent spiritual arrow pierced his left arm and broke a hole in his chest.

Blood gushed out right away. Residual Snow uttered a muffled humph and he staggered down to the ground. A sharp pain swept all over his body. He almost fainted.

Residual Snow gasped heavily. He noticed that the arrow was about 3 centimeters away from his heart. He could not help but sweat with fear.

If he didn’t protect heart with left arm…

Residual Snow was pale, shivering all over because of the severe pain. He dared not to think too much. He swallowed several kinds of medicine quickly and controlled his wounds. Only then did he take a breath of relief and struggle to get up.

Fortunately, his opponent did not fire another arrow, otherwise he would surely die at this moment.

But when Residual Snow searched around, he found Lin had taken the opportunity to escape.

Residual Snow stood alone in the rainstorm, with mixed feeling of anger and luck.

This was the first time he failed the mission in so many years.

Even worse, he was defeated by a Human-gang-realm teenager who had been already seriously injured!

However, Residual Snow didn’t have a strong sense of shame because he knew that he was lucky to keep alive this time.

“Lin Xun… I remember you…”

Residual Snow muttered for a while and turned away with pain.

He did not know what the little spherical monster was and how could it swallow his strongest arrow.

…

Whoosh ~ ~

While the rainstorm poured down, Lin Xun was running helter-skelter in the rain. In his arms, Chirps kept chirping happily.

Lin Xun produced a bitter smile. He could hardly stand the pain, while the little Chirps still cried happily. Chirps seemed lighthearted.

Lin Xun really couldn’t stand the pain any longer.

The arrow just fired had almost emptied the strength left in his body, and now he could only run instinctively.

In another word, if Lin had enough strength, how could he leave Residual Snow alive?

“If I get the change, I’ll have a good fight with Residual Snow again in the future!”

Lin Xun remembered what happened tonight. He felt helpless since he had chosen to fight alone tonight.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was satisfied with the battle effects tonight. At least, the practitioners dispatched by dozens of forces had lost their lives but he was still alive in the end. The result was quite good.

Suddenly, a burst of applause sounded, which seemed so harsh on this rainy night.

“Hey, it’s really amazing. A trainee graduating from the Bloodthirsty Camp really has the fighting power against a thousand people alone.”

With the rough laughter, Shue Jin appeared with a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

From the beginning of tonight’s battle to the end, all Lin’s performances were completely observed by Shue Jin.

To be honest, Lin Xun’s fighting power and tough fighting style completely exceeded Shue Jin’s expectation.

He thought that Lin Xun might hold on to half of the battle, but the result showed that Lin Xun could solve these problems without his help.

Of course, the premise was Lin didn’t encounter Yao Tuohai or other strong people of Tao Insight Realm.

Nevertheless, for a Human-gang-realm teenager, it was amazing and rare to be able to do this.            Some of the young overmatches Shue Jin had known might be able to suppress Lin in cultivation, but they could hardly win a deadly battle alone like Lin Xun!

Therefore, Shue Jin’s applause and admiration for Lin at this moment presented his rare genuine feeling.

Seeing Shue Jin, Lin Xun relaxed thoroughly so that he immediately felt extremely painful. He was weak and exhausted. He grimaced in pain and cursed, “I thought you would not appear tonight!”

Shue Jin laughed, “I would show up in time when you need me, but I found that you didn’t need my help tonight, right?”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes and said, “I’ve already killed most of them, and the battle seems to be over. I need you to handle the rest work.”

After saying this, he fainted as soon as his eyes closed.

Shue Jin was worried and rushed over. He took Lin Xun’s body and made a careful check by perception. His face changed totally.

Lin Xun was almost at the edge of exhaustion and the injury on the chest was quite serious. It was hard to imagine how Lin held on to now in this bad physical situation.

As Shue Jin looked at Lin Xun’s pale face and determined lips, Shue’s eyes were full of complexity. He sighed softly after a while, “Fine, I just help you once more.”

Then he carried Lin Xun away and disappeared in the rainy night.

…

The rain stopped and dense bright stars appeared in the sky, which made Mist City especially bright and quiet.

In a delicate and magnificent courtyard of Azure-light Pavilion, Qi Xiaokong sat and drank cosily. He was fond of drinking alone late at night.

Qi Xiaokong was the leader of Azure-light Pavilion. He was also the head of Qi Clan. He was a high-ranking and prestigious figure in Mist City.

“How are the things going tonight?”

Qi Xiaokong remembered something suddenly and asked.

On one side of the pavilion, an old servant stood respectfully and was in a daze upon this unexpected question. He laughed and said, “Master, don’t worry about such trifles. More than ten forces united together, the poor young man must have already been killed.”

Qi Xiaokong smiled and said, “It may be a small thing, but it’s quite special in nature. I just hope they don’t leave any evidence and prevent the related news from spreading so that it won’t harm our reputation.”

The old servant smiled and echoed, “They know it for sure.”

Qi Xiaokong said, “I Hope so.” Then he no long paid attention to this matter. For a big shot in such status, killing a poor practitioner was really a trivial thing.

At this moment, panic footsteps suddenly came from outside of the courtyard. Qi Xiaokong frowned, “Go to see what happened.”

The old servant next to him got the order and hurried away. Soon he returned with a black post in his hand.

This post was special as jade. Its dark body was like the pure night and its surface was branded with a delicate pattern of Heiyao flower.

“Master, this is a post just sent by someone, and he indicated that this should be handed to you.” The old servant handed the post with a confused face to his master.

Qi Xiaokong glanced at the post inadvertently. But when he saw the pattern of Heiyao flower on the post, his pupils shrank sharply and his whole body stiffened imperceptibly.
