Chapter 161 Unstoppable
The disturbance on the volcano also drew the attention of the nearby cultivators.
Many people were shocked when they saw a figure suddenly appear on the volcano.
Is this the so-called great treasure or secret?
No one had expected the water tribe to be guarding the mountain in wait for a mere cultivator. Why had they done so?
There must be a reason.
However, the scene still disappointed many people. They had the impression that a great treasure was about to appear or some astonishing secret was about to be uncovered. Who could have imagined that they would all be waiting for a single person?!
“Blast it, I wasted so many days!”
“How can this be? I’ve never seen this guy before. Could he have appeared from the volcano?”
“He must have something that the water tribe experts are after!”
“My god, isn’t that Lin Xun?”
“What? Lin Xun? It really is him!”
It only took a few moments for someone to identify Lin Xun, resulting in quite a commotion.
There was no one in Blood Kill Camp who didn’t know Lin Xun because of the highly controversial first place he had obtained in a certain exam.
After ascertaining that the figure on the mountain belonged to Lin Xun, many people were surprised. Why was he on the volcano?
Why were the water brute experts so set on capturing him, even gathering so many people and setting up such a tight defensive perimeter?
Many people could not understand.
While they were still bewildered, the battle on the volcano began.
More than a hundred water brute experts swarmed towards a single person, painting a frightening sight that would make any cultivator flee immediately.
These brute experts were not your ordinary cultivator. Every warrior was brave and skilled, and there were even a few formidable individuals among them who could give Blood Kill Camp students a run for their money.
It was easy to imagine how terrifying it was when the entire group was after a single person.
Even the likes of Bai Lingxi, Zhao Xin, and Zhangsun Hen would choose to withdraw in such a situation.
“Should we go and help? Lin Xun’s from Blood Kill Camp as well. How can we allow those brute trash to kill him?”
“Don’t be rash! Haven’t you looked at the situation? Let alone you, even all of us together won’t be able to change the tides!”
“But…are we just going to watch Lin Xun die?”
“That’s the only thing we can do. Sigh, although I often find Lin Xun an eyesore, I don’t feel good as well when I think about how he will be killed by those brute trash. But what can we do? The situation is not anything a mere few people can change!”
“That’s right. There are no rules which state we need to save our fellow students when they are in danger. We…can only wait and see if the situation changes!”
The start of the battle elicited a heated discussion amongst the hidden cultivators. However, they ultimately decided to wait and watch.
They might pity Lin Xun’s situation, but they were not going to risk their lives for him!
This was reality. The current circumstances were too grim and they did not wish to bet their lives on a hopeless battle.
“It’s going to be very difficult for Lin Xun to survive this crisis. Sigh, who could have expected that he would ultimately lose his life at the hands of these brute trash?” In a hidden alcove, Qi Can sighed with a complicated expression.
Muo Leng snorted, “I can’t wait for him to die!”
“Be careful of what you say. We are empire cultivators. How can we curse our allies to be killed by the enemy?” Despite saying this, a faint smile rose from the corners of Qi Can’s lips.
……
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The brute experts roared as they charged, sporting ferocious expressions while their eyes gleamed with blood-thirsty cruelness.
Each one was a water tribe expert. It was easy to imagine the intimidating sight they created when they were gathered together like this.
Lin Xun’s response was simple: charge!
His black hair flew around him; every contour and inch of his face was filled with killing intent.
In his right hand, the Defeat Army Blade rose into the air!
Kill!
A blade dashed through the air and instantly severed three heads. Fresh blood spurted like a spring, dyeing the sky red.
Lin Xun’s figure did not stop. He advanced while avoiding four spears as his blade powerfully swept away one of the brute experts.
The ferocious brute experts were as frail as paper under his blade and he easily cut through them like tofu!
Every move of the Six Word Blade Art flowed naturally from Lin Xun’s blade. It was like the grim reaper’s scythe: reaping a life with each strike and never missing.
Kill!
Aeth power rushed in Lin Xun’s body and exploded like a volcano. His style was simple and violent: charging straight on through all obstructions.
He did not dodge or retreat.
He was akin to an awl that was viciously tunneling through the enemy lines and leaving a path of bloody carnage.
Screams rang out in succession as body after body fell to the ground. Blood blossomed like fireworks: beautiful, scalding, and red!
The scariest thing, however, was how Lin Xun remained extremely composed from start to end. His movements were always precise and steady, never wavering in the slightest.
In fact, he was even harvesting the brute totem rune from every brute expert he killed!
It felt as if he was a hunter who had entered a pack of lions. Every target he hunted would be meticulously harvested and never once did he view any of them as threats.
The battle had seemed unremarkable in the beginning, but despite being heavily surrounded on all sides, no one could withstand Lin Xun’s attacks. The sight of this made many brute experts' hearts shiver unexplainably.
What kind of human was this?
Composed and confident as he walked through endless enemies as if he were taking a stroll in the garden, yet his battle style could only be described as fatal!
Why did they call it fatal? Because every expert he came into contact with would lose their life without question!
Numerous cracks had appeared on the Defeat Army Blade, making it appear as if it was on the verge of shattering into pieces. However, it continued to feast on the blood, flesh, and souls of its victims like a demon’s blade!
In mere moments, more than thirty brute experts had been slain.
Hidden in the distance, Shui Zhi’s entire body shivered as his pupils widened in shock at the sight of this scene. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
He’s too strong!
Was this really something a True Martial stage youngster could achieve?
Lin Xun’s blood-drenched body, sharp, sword-like eyebrows, and eyes which flashed like lightning made him appear like an indestructible bolt of lightning. The sight made Shui Zhi feel an aura of despair.
This made Shui Zhi’s hairs stand on ends as if he was falling through the frozen cave.
Lin Xun is completely different!
……
The vicinity of the volcano was also in an uproar.
“This this…is he actually intending to butcher them all?!”
“When did Lin Xun’s battle power become so overwhelming?”
“My god! Who could have expected that he would not run but instead charge into the enemy alone and still perform so spectacularly?”
Shock, amazement, disbelief…and various other emotions swirled in every cultivator’s heart, making it impossible for them to calm down.
In the past, Lin Xun had been doubted for being number one in the quarterly exam. Everyone had suspected him of cheating and they looked down on him for it.
Although Bai Lingxi had subsequently judged Lin Xun to have won over Xiao Kun, many people still felt that it had not been a fair victory.
However, when they saw Lin Xun steamroll through the brute army alone, many people were speechless.
They finally realized that they had never truly understood Lin Xun nor properly tried to evaluate his battle power.
This made many people feel ashamed.
The feeling made some people uncomfortable such as Qi Can and Muo Leng.
They had originally believed that Lin Xun would die for sure. Who could have anticipated that he would perform a one-sided slaughter-fest instead?
How was this possible?
It might be reasonable if it was done by Bai Lingxi or Zhao Yin, but how could Lin Xun possibly achieve such a feat?
No one would willingly admit that they were inferior to Lin Xun.
Qi Can and Muo Ling had always viewed Lin Xun as weaker than themselves. At this juncture, however, their hearts became unbalanced when they discovered that Lin Xun’s battle power had begun to surpass their own.
Qi Can coldly said, “Continue watching. I refuse to believe that he will survive till the end!”
Muo Leng also said in a low voice, “That’s right. Once his momentum is stopped, he will fall into a dangerous situation of no return!”
Rather than call it an evaluation, it was more akin to a vicious curse.
……
The battle continued.
Miserable screams, angry roars, the clang of steel, the sound of blood spurting…various sounds wove together into a heart-palpitating symphony.
A bloody hell-like battle was occuring on the unnamed volcano, and the hot rocks were quickly covered in blood, bone fragments, and chunks of flesh.
A frighteningly composed Lin Xun continued his advance.
His aeth power seemed endless, allowing him to maintain peak condition at all times. The shadow of death seemed to accompany every swing of his blade.
The water brute experts were finally beginning to feel fear. Their formations started to descend into chaos as their fighting spirits wavered, creating hesitation in their attacks.
The human youth before them was like an unbeatable demon god. He was still completely uninjured while more than fifty of their companions had already died!
This was an astonishing number and a painful price that would make anyone crumble.
At the foot of the mountain, Shui Zhi released a piercing, crazed shout, “Bastard! Are you guys going to continue watching my water tribe be slaughtered?”
A group of figures soon appeared at the foot of the mountain, revealing themselves to be experts from the other brute tribes.
Fire tribe, wood tribe, gold tribe, earth tribe…there were more than fifty of them in total.
The new arrivals would soon bring about another shift in the situation!
