Raging flames were blazing in multiple areas of the Black Tiger Gang’s den. The fire had already spread to an uncontrollable state.
Some people were still defending to the end, hoping that Old Tiger Lu would return in time. But many more people chose to flee. It had become a scene of complete chaos.
These criminals who were considered at the bottom of society would rather choose their lives over loyalty.
As Lin Xun walked into the Black Tiger Gang’s den, he saw many people fleeing in panic. They raced past the hall and completely ignored him.
Soon, Lin Xun saw dozens of cultivators ready in battle formation and waiting for his arrival. This was completely different from what he expected.
Do these guys not know how to hide?
“I leave these people to you. I have another affair to deal with.” By the time Xia Zhi’s voice entered his ears, she had already vanished.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and then smiled. He drew out the Flame Blade and charged toward the dozens of cultivators!
Armed with just his blade, he planned to take on dozens of cultivators by himself!
Even the Black Tiger Gang cultivators gathered in the hall couldn’t help but find it absurd. Most importantly, he was only a youngster!But when they thought of the little girl’s terrifying ability, that absurd feeling instantly faded and they went on alert. The youngster might even be more powerful than the little girl.
Boom!
Seeing Lin Xun speed towards them, someone couldn’t help but pick up a spear and thrust it forward. The spear moved like lightning and the tip was incomparably sharp; it contained astonishing aeth power.
It’s a fifth-layer True Martial Stage expert!
This thought flickered in Lin Xun’s mind. Without the slightest hesitation, he brought his buzzing blade down at the opponent’s spear!
Bang!
A terrifying landslide-like force blasted his opponent and his spear across the air and sent them smashing into a stone pillar. Spurting blood from both his nose and mouth, his opponent fainted on the spot.
At the same time, all sorts of weapons—blades, swords and hammer—were launched from different directions at Lin Xun. The moves were tricky, ruthless, and precisely timed.
Lin Xun leaped into the air and his blade started to rotate, turning into a whirlwind. Waves of flames exploded as they rolled like the flowing ocean.
With a loud boom, the enemy’s blade snapped into two along with the person’s right arm. Screaming, he frantically drew back.
Whereas the sword and hammer were sent hurling across the air, leaving the other two cultivators exposed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xun changed attacks once again. He suddenly slashed down.
With a sickening thud, the hammer-wielding cultivator’s head was crushed and tumbled to the ground.
The sword-wielding cultivator had evaded in time and narrowly escaped, but he was so frightened that his face was deathly pale and his soul had almost left his body.
Three people had been slaughtered in seconds!
Lin Xun had only performed three moves of the Six Word Blade. His blade skills might not be comparable to Xia Zhi’s but it was more than enough to deal with the cultivators present!
Moreover, he was equipped with all sorts of rune armaments and had a Flame Blade. He was simply armed to the teeth and his strength was at least thirty percent stronger than usual.
On the flip side, very few of his opponents had seen cultivators at the eighth layer True Martial Stage. Most of them were only around the fifth layer True Martial Stage and posed no threat to Lin Xun.
After all, when Lin Xun was only at the fifth layer True Martial Stage, he was already evenly matched with Du Xiao, a seventh layer True Martial Stage expert. Now that he had broken through to the sixth layer, his strength was, of course, superior to before.
After witnessing several comrades being killed in the blink of an eye, the Black Tiger Gang cultivators in the hall all turned ashen-faced, and shock filled their hearts.
“Quick! Let’s join hands to kill that kid!”
Following a loud roar, the cultivators simultaneously charged forward. No one dared to hold back anymore. Every one of them looked ferocious as they surrounded Lin Xun.
Fighting cries rang endlessly in the hall. The walls collapsed, the ground cracked, and various items in the hall had been crushed to powder.
Die!
Lin Xun fought with his blade. His figure was as vigorous and nimble as a flying monkey. The Flame Blade swung in all directions and crimson blade light shot out with terrifyingly destructive power.
Although it was Lin Xun’s first time up against dozens of cultivators, he didn’t panic at all. His dark eyes were deep and calm, and his handsome and warm face didn’t ripple at all.
But beneath his calm exterior, fighting intent and murderous intent were blazing.
Fight!
The smell of blood and fire, as though by magic, opened up a desire in Lin Xun's heart that he had never felt before.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
This young man, who was from a mine prison, clasped his blade like a frightening dragon and stirred up a storm of blood. His long hair billowed wildly around his face.
The miserable screams of the enemy as they fell vitalized Lin Xun’s fighting spirit and made it become even stronger like stirring music.
The blood poured out from the enemy was like the strongest wine in the world and made Lin Xun experience a joy that he had never felt in the past.
At that moment, Lin Xun had completely forgotten himself. He was fully immersed in the battle. He had forgotten everything about mundane life and all the compromises and plots needed to live in the world!
In his eyes, there were only enemies!
Bang!
A cultivator failed to evade in time, and his head was severed off.
Hua!
On the other side, a cultivator’s legs were slashed off and left burning in the flames while he collapsed into a pool of fire and blood.
Boom!
A bronze mace suddenly swung down behind Lin Xun and struck his shoulder. Fortunately, the Cloud Mountain shoulder armor engraved with an earth guarding rune had absorbed most of the impact. But he still broke his shoulder blade.
But Lin Xun didn’t seem to notice. He wildly drew back, spun around and lunged his blade into his attacker, tearing his stomach open!
This was a close-quarters fight. It was fierce, cruel, and there was no room for hesitation. Life and death could be decided in a split second.
At that moment, Lin Xun wasn’t only ruthless towards the enemies, he was even more ruthless towards himself. He would rather fight and get injured to seize every opportunity to kill the enemy.
Enemies constantly fell, and Lin Xun was riddled with scars and soaked with blood.
But his gaze never wavered once, and the Flame Blade was even more precise, ruthless and steady in his hand. He resembled a god of war who would never fall. He launched his blade among blood and flames, playing out the changes of life and death.
It seemed like a long time had passed but it also felt like a split second. He suddenly felt his body become light and when he looked around, only seven or eight opponents were left.
Around his feet lay mangled corpses in pools of blood that were still burning in raging flames. A charred smell stung his nose and filled every corner.
More than half of the enemies had been slaughtered!
Lin Xun awakened from the battle and realized that he had become incredibly powerful…
Lin Xun was perhaps still at the True Martial Stage and there was still a distance until he reached the Spirit Dipper Stage, but the present him was eons away from the thin and weak youngster that had just arrived at Feiyun Village!
The seven or eight cultivators opposite him were evidently aghast. Their expressions were full of undisguisable terror. The teenager opposite them was like a demon bathing in blood and made their entire bodies tremble uncontrollably.
They were scared out of their wits.
Not only could they not do anything to a teenager at the sixth layer True Martial Stage but even after they joined forces, the majority of them had also been killed!
What sent a chill to their hearts was that Lin Xun’s killing method was extremely direct. He didn’t utter a word from beginning to end, yet that silence and unwavering will made them feel suffocated.
What kind of teenager is he?!
Da!
Lin Xun moved again. He stepped into a pool of blood, making a dull sound.
No one would notice that sound in the past, but in this silent and suffocating hall, it was like the death knell!
The eight cultivators’ bodies stiffened, and then, they immediately roared in panic and bolted out of the hall.
They were already terrified and their fighting spirit was already completely gone. They had no desire to struggle in the slightest when they were on the verge of death.
Flee!
Must flee!
That youngster is a demon who kills without batting an eye. He’s too terrifying!
Lin Xun was first taken aback but then he shook his head. He was too lazy to chase after them. He scanned the hall and walked towards its depths.
The pain all over his body pounded his mind like the tide. It was only after the battle ended that he realized that despite being armed with various aeth tools he had still sustained a lot of injuries—blade wounds, sword wounds and internal injuries…
These weren’t important to Lin Xun. As a criminal in the mine prison had once said, scars were the most glorious feat of a man!
The only thing that made Lin Xun frown was that his aeth power had been exhausted after a round of fighting and killing, and he couldn’t endure much longer.
He urgently had to find Xia Zhi!
Soon, Lin Xun disappeared into the depths of the hall.
The walls of the hall crumbled down behind him; the stone pillars were destroyed, and a sea of bodies was burning in pools of blood. The scene resembled hell.
Outside the main hall, the great fire surged to the sky and illuminated the night. Everything was an indication that the Black Tiger Gang’s den had completely fallen!
……
Old Tiger Lu saw a towering inferno by the time he returned with a group of subordinates. The den that he had worked so hard to build for many years was completely shrouded in flames.
In an instant, Old Tiger Lu's face turned livid and his eyes almost cracked.
Behind him, his subordinates couldn’t help but cry out loud. Their faces blanched. When we left, there were still many people in the old den. Could they have all met with disaster?
“Leader! Leader, you're finally back!” A cultivator with a dirty face and disheveled hair rushed over and burst into tears.
“Who did this?” Old Tiger Lu’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth and was filled with endless coldness.
“It's a teen and a little girl!”
A man hissed through gritted teeth. “Not only did they kill many of our brothers, but they also set our territory on fire! Leader, you have to avenge our brothers!”
Everyone was in an uproar. The attacker isn’t from another gang, but turned out to be just a teenager and a little girl!
And they destroyed our den with just two of them? How is that possible?
“Where are they?” Old Tiger Lu grew livid and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
He suddenly remembered that the target they were going to kill was a teenager called Lin Xun. Could it be that Lin Xun didn’t run away, but took the opportunity to destroy our Black Tiger Gang?
Old Tiger Lu’s heart sank again. He had fallen into a trap!
“They’re inside!” The cultivator pointed inside the Black Tiger Gang’s den.
Old Tiger Lu was boiling with rage. Unable to contain the anger in his heart any longer, he roared, “Come in with me to find those two little things. I want to see them in person if they are alive and I want to see their bodies if they are dead!”
