Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 26: The Obliterating of Corpses

Brow like a sword, gaze like a lightning, Lin Xun now turned to a completely different person with composure and killing intent that was impossible to be seen in a 13-year-old young boy.

Shua***

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun started the attack. With a sudden move of his body, he wielded his knife right at Qian Qi’s face from a tricky angle.

In such a case, he knew it well that there was no chance of bargaining and the best option was to take the initiative.

The saber-light ripped the air just like tearing a piece of thin cloth, creating whimpering sounds that could pierce eardrum. The dagger moved like a galloping horse with irresistible force as strong as a rainbow.

Weng***

Qian Qi reacted swiftly. Shaking the iron spear in his hand in a special pattern, he confronted Lin Xun’s attack skillfully and ferociously.

He had accompanied Lian Rufeng all these years transporting goods between the Green-sun Tribe and Feiyun Village, during which he had killed numerous beasts and fought with many villains trying to rob them, equipping him with astute and deadly battling experience.

At this moment, he would definitely not be startled by Lin Xun’s sudden attack.

It was the same case with Lu Ting. Rude as he usually was, he was also quite experienced in fighting. Seeing that Lin Xun attacked Qian Qi first, he couldn’t help sneering in heart, “What an idiot! A clever guy would never choose Qian Qi as his opponent in such a condition.”

Although it seemed that the second level of Martial Realm was only one grade away from the third level, there was vast difference between them.

However, much to his surprise, Lin Xun turned around, tapped hard on the ground with the tip of his toes, and changed his direction abruptly just as he was about to confront Qian Qi.

Shua***

The cyan dagger was fast like lightning, sharp and fierce like gusty wind. It was the “side splitting” of “splitting” in the Six-word Saberplay, the essence of which was to trick the enemy and attack by surprise.

This move was so unpredictable and difficult to guard against that it could kill the enemy in a single strike, presenting an unstoppable power.

Lu Ting’s pupils contracted due to surprise. It suddenly occurred to Lu Ting that Lin Xun just made a gesture of attacking Qian Qi, while in fact, he himself was the goal.

Lu Ting roared from wrath. Swinging the hammer against his chest as defense, he retreated far back immediately to avoid the strike.

But Lin Xun would never miss such a good chance. Without any delay, the cyan dagger in his hand changed suddenly from “slide splitting” to “sticky tangling” of the move “tangling”. It danced like a silkworm spinning, then stuck to Lu Ting’s hammer just like a magnet.

Bang!

As gentle as the move might look, it created a power so enormous that it shattered Lu Ting’s right wrist into pieces, his hammer falling to the ground. Lu Ting, on the other hand, was like being hit by a powerful bull, flying over 10 meters away with blood spraying from his mouth and nose. He then passed out before he could scream.

Seeing that Lu Ting was struck down, Lin Xun ducked swiftly aside without sparing a gaze and narrowly avoided Qian Qi who came at him from the side.

“Lu Ting!” Qian Qi got furious with a sullen look. He was shocked by Lin Xun’s fluent strikes that were fast like a sprinting rabbit, leaving no time for him to save Lu Ting.

He also never expected that Lin Xun would be so foxy and turned his dagger against Lu Ting in the middle of the fight. Worse still, Lu Ting was unexpectedly lame and was defeated by just one attack.

“You sinister little thing!” Qian Qi cursed with a cold voice, his killing intent spilling over. Eyeing sharply at Lin Xun, he was now rageful.

Paying no attention to that, Lin Xun smiled and came right at Qian Qi with his dagger.

He had no time for all those nonsense. Now that he finished Lu Ting, who was just like a stumbling block, he could focus all his attention on defeating Qian Qi, who was a powerful practitioner at the third level of Martial Realm.

Shua, shua, shua!

Lin Xun exerted all moves of the Six-word Saberplay, wielding his cyan knife changeably in the air, sometimes moving gently like a dancing butterfly, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes like a landslide or a tsunami crushing all, sometimes like a spark or lightning striking in all directions.

It would not be overstated to say that he was like a startled dragon and the knife was like avalanche, leaving no chance for Qian Qi to catch his breath.

The martial art Qian Qi practiced was named “Hawk Spear”, whose moves were cunning and deadly with irresistible force. Combined with his cultivation at Viscera Opening, his combating power was undoubtedly strong and could kill an ordinary practitioner at the second level of Martial Realm in a blink of eye.

On the contrary, he was now completely overwhelmed by Lin Xun and retreated constantly without the slightest chance to fight back.

Qian Qi got a very sharp eye. So he knew it instantly that Lin Xun was exerting a powerful saberplay that was unparalleled by any common martial arts.

Were it only so, he could still suppress Lin Xun with a higher level of cultivation. However, it never occurred to him that Lin Xun was not a half penny worse than him!

How could it be?

How come a 13-year-old boy at the second level of Martial Realm possessed spirit power so thick and strong?

Qian Qi was surprised and infuriated in heart. As cautious as he usually was, soon he realized that he had underestimated this young boy.

All those years of journey to the Green-sun Tribe had equipped him with some knowledge that many gifted youngsters might show shallow cultivation to the eye, but in fact, they could fight across levels.

Such young talents were extremely hard to meet, merely once in a century.

Even in the populated Green-sun Tribe, which had 8,000 inhabitants, only a few had such gifts and fighting abilities.

Could Lin Xun also be such a genius with outstanding talents?

Calm as he may look, Qian Qi was now anxious in heart.

He had thought that Lin Xun was just a spiritual tattoo apprentice with nothing to be feared. He only started to take Lin Xun seriously after Lu Ting was defeated twice in a row.

However, not until he truly engaged with Lin Xun did he finally realize that Lin Xun was far more powerful then he predicted. And that was not a good thing.

Crack!

Just then, Qian Qi felt a sharp pain in arms. His iron spear was cut into two parts!

Damn!

Waking up from his thoughts, Qian Qi’s expression altered abruptly. Daring not to be abstracted again, he turned around and ran away immediately after a loud howl.

He was now terrified. The broken spear was undoubtably a huge blow to him, making him realize that he was no match for Lin Xun. If this was not the correct time to escape, then when?

Qian Qi just made a decision that he must escape to the Green-sun Tribe without any delay and report this to Lian Rufeng. Lin Xun was too frightening!

However, the moment Qian Qi turned around, Lin Xun threw the cyan knife right towards him without any hesitation.

Whoo!

The dagger flew incredibly fast, making shrill sounds like a chasing ghost. In a flash, it stabbed hard into Qian Qi’s back, bringing him down to the ground with blood spurting.

Qian Qi screamed in desperate pain and fear and struggled to get up. Just then Lin Xun came over. Stepping on Qian Qi’s back, he took out his dagger and cut his throat.

Lin Xun didn’t say a word during the whole process and the way he killed was quite experienced and skillful.

Qian Qi’s eyes glared desperately that his eyeballs nearly came out. He tried to turn his head to look at Lin Xun but, in the end, he fell to the ground and died completely before he could.

Gurgling…Blood flowed out continuously from Qian Qi’s throat and soaked the ground around him red, creating a daunting scene.

Lin Xun turned a blind eye to all this. He went to Lu Ting and stabbed him in his heart after confirming Qian Qi’s death.

By now, Qian Qi and Lu Ting were both dead. And it just took a moment to finish the battle.

Taking a long breath out, Lin Xun stared blankly at the corpse of Lu Ting. He was uncontrollably nervous as it was his first time to really kill a person.

In order to reduce his anxiety, he had been cultivating frantically these days. Knowing clearly that he had to fight against Lu Ting and Qian Qi soon or later, he also rehearsed and prepared many tactics and methods beforehand.

A thorough preparation was sometimes a good start for miracles. Lin Xun didn’t aim to create any miracle though, everything he did was to kill Lu Ting and Qian Qi.

He never expected that Qian Qi and Lu Ting were not as powerful as he had predicted. He was not surprised that he could take Lu Ting down with just one strike. However, what surprised him was that he didn’t feel much pressure when confronting Qian Qi head-on, who was at the third level of Martial Realm.

Furthermore, as the fight continued, he had a stronger feeling that the power Qian Qi showed did not pose any threat to him.

Lin Xun had thought that Qian Qi was deliberately playing weak. Not until he finally killed Qian Qi did he realize that Qian Qi was inferior to him.

What was wrong?

Lin Xun was confused.

He had prepared many other attack techniques to strike down Qian Qi and even expected for a desperate fight at the risk of his own life. Who’d ever think that he could win easily with his own cultivation?

“Looks like he was just an ordinary guy.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun was a bit self-deprecating in heart, “I make too big a fuss about it and have even been nervous about it for several days!”

But the truth was Lin Xun had thought wrong about Qian Qi and underestimated himself.

Qian Qi may not be one of the best at the third level of Martial Real, but he was absolutely a tough guy with loads of fighting experience.

What Lin Xun didn’t realize was that, with the help of the spirit swirls, his cultivation had been refined to a much solider status than ever before and his spirit power was not only purer and thicker, but also with a quality four levels higher than before.

In addition, his hard practicing these days as well as the flesh and blood of the snow-spot leopard and the one-horned lizard he ate had strengthened his power dramatically.

Therefore, it was more than logical for him to kill Qian Qi at the third level of Martial Ream with the assistance of such a unique and fierce Six-word Saberplay.

Without any more thinking, Lin Xun scanned around then cast his gaze on the Smoking Mountain.

It was said that deep within the Smoking Mountain there still remained a tunnel that was dug for excavating the Feiyun Fire Copper, which, though deserted, was a perfect place to obliterate corpses.

Soon, carrying the corpses of Lu Ting and Qian Qi, Lin Xun came to the foot of the Smoking Mountain and found the deserted tunnel.
