Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 51: A Disturbance Rose

The golden glow shone like fire, brightening the world.

The beast was incredibly huge as a mountain, rushing into the air. Like a ferocious beast from time immemorial, it was big enough to cover the sun and moon, roaring loudly enough to break mountains and rivers!

Despite the distance, Lin Xun still felt a sharp pain in his eyes while his body was shaking and his soul was inexplicably oppressed.

It could only be seen faintly that the beast was like a deer but not a deer, like a horse but not a horse, which had a head like a dragon’s, a tail like a long rainbow. Its whole body was covered with golden fur while its four hooves were stepping on the glow.

Overflowing with golden light, it rushed into the air and released billions of god’s flames, rumbling and burning the mountains, turning the ancient forest into ashes, making such a horrifying scene.

Its opponent held a spear, kept waving, and lashed out with some horrible shadow of the spear but apparently couldn’t stand for long and tried to dodge from its attack frequently.

Lin Xun immediately recognized him. That was the old man in grey robe in the group he just met.

It was them indeed!

An odd smile appeared at the corners of Lin Xun’s mouth. It would be absolutely deceptive to say he was not gloating.

But when he saw the power the old man presented while fighting in the air, he couldn’t help but be astonished and wonder that this was undoubtedly another practitioner at the Sea Spirit Realm.

Together with the Man in black robe (Shie Yutang), Barbarian Hercules and the first son of the Keystone Business, Shi Xuan, this was the fourth practitioner at the Sea Spirit Realm that Lin Xun saw.

It could be imagined how many top practitioners the so-called “peerless treasure” had attracted to the three thousand mountains.

However, these had nothing to do with Lin Xun. Compared with those at the Sea Spirit Realm, he was hardly strong enough to get involved in all this.

Soon, Lin Xun’s eyes were drawn to the golden beast, and he wondered to himself whether the golden claws he saw at noon were caused by the old man clad in grey and his party.

But what did they do to make this monster so furious?

Boom!

The earth shook. The light rain splashed like falling stars, slamming on the earth, burning down the ancient forest, destroying the mountains, and the earth turned into a scorched field inch by inch.

It was such a horrible scene that whoever got involved in would be doomed to die.

Lin didn’t dare to stay any longer and turned away.

Seeing that the old man and his party had suffered, his anger was reduced a bit. If not leaving now, he would be making fun of his own life.

Bam!

However, when Lin Xun ran just less than a mile away, he heard a sudden noise breaking through the air, and soon there was a sound of a heavy object hitting the ground in the mountain forest not far away.

And then a moan of pain came out.

Hearing the sound so familiar, Lin Xun got startled. He approached carefully, then saw a bloody figure lying on the ground, bleeding and miserable.

Even so, Lin Xun recognized him from his clothes at a glance. It was the young childe in that group!

Lin Xun was delighted that God seemed to favor him today. Not only did he send a huge beast to destroy them and avenge him, but he even brought the “culprit” to him!

Of course, Lin Xun knew that it was just some foolish thinking. He looked around and saw the battle in the distance still going on.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the young man was thrown out of the battlefield by the old man in gray, so as to keep this most dignified young man alive.

However, this guy ended up falling in front of him out of the blue.

“Childe, nice to meet you again.”

Lin Xun smiled and walked forward. The man was seriously injured and could hardly breathe. Though he already reached the Spirit Gang Realm, he was no different from a disabled now.

“You…”

The young man gasped for breath and opened his bloody eyes. When he saw Lin Xun clearly, he called out at once, “Little bumpkin, take me away from here. If you get me to safety, I’ll make sure you have all the wealth and power you want.”

His voice was sharp and husky. At last, he even coughed up some blood, looking extremely miserable.

“Childe, that’s not what I want.”

Lin Xun shook his head, still laughing, “Seeing you like this, I’m already satisfied. Bye bye.”

Then he turned around and went away.

“Wait a minute!”

The young man called out, “Bro, what do you want? Just tell me, and I, Liu Yukun, will promise you everything!”

Lin Xun turned around, looked into the young man’s eager eyes, and sighed, “Childe, before you took my home and drove me away. It is already kind enough of me not to kill you. Don’t push your luck.”

Liu Yukun cried, “Brother, it was all my fault just now. I apologize. Please be generous and save me.” The young man was almost begging now.

But at the end of the speech, he coughed violently, trembled all over and suddenly fell to the ground, nearly losing his breath.

Lin Xun thought for a second and then stepped forward. “Well, you and I have no blood hatred. It’s fine to save you once.” He crouched down and stretched out his hand trying to help up Liu Yukun.

Swish!

Just then, a hint of cruelty and coldness flashed by in Liu’s eyes. His paralyzed body suddenly erected and at the same time with a sudden stretch of his arms, he clasped Lin Xun’s neck, holding a short sword which came out of nowhere against Lin Xun’s throat.

Liu Yukun said with a grim smile, “Little bastard! Don’t move, or this sword will get you killed!”

Lin Xun remained motionless but calm, and then started laughing, “I knew it! People like you won’t have a good intention even when asking for help.”

Liu Yukun asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

Bang!

At this point, Lin Xun’s scapular muscles suddenly bulged, releasing a tremendous concussive force, shaking away Liu Yukun’s arm which was around his neck.

At the same time, he tilted his head back and twisted his wrist all of a sudden, clenching Liu’s arm firmly and then wrenching it.

With a clicking sound, Liu Yukun’s arm was dislocated with his joints removed. He lost his strength suddenly, then the short sword which was held in his palm fell to the ground.

Crack! Lin Xun turned over and slapped Liu in the face. He gave a tragic howl, some of his teeth falling out.

“How can it be, you…”

Liu Yukun was frightened. How could he have thought that Lin Xun, who had been subdued by him, turned the tide so instantly?

All this was due to Lin Xun’s practice of the Martial Art of Relocating Bones while fighting with Shia Zhi. In close combat, this skill of using physical strength was absolutely unbelievable and would definitely make it impossible for the opponent to defend.

Unfortunately, Liu Yukun only regarded Lin Xun as a practitioner at the fourth level of Martial Realm. He always guarded against Lin Xun using his spiritual power but neglected how powerful his physical strength could be.

“Childe, I tried to save, and this is how you pay me back?”

Lin Xun sighed, took up the sword, and without any hesitation, he pierced Liu Yukun’s throat at one blow, watery blood splashing out.

Looking at Liu’s eyes which were full of shocks, resentment and unwillingness now, Lin Xun smiled and said, “Childe, the little bumpkin may not be so impressive, but he’s quite clear of what to love and what to hate. Once he gets the chance, he can kill a scoundrel like you without hesitation. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself.”

Groans came out of his reluctant lips, but he finally fell to the ground and died.

Lin Xun stopped smiling and looked back at the distance. The battle there had already ended. A fit of worry rose in his heart.

He rummaged on Liu Yukun’s dead body only to find a purple jade belt.

It should be a storage device. Lin had no time to think but leave in a hurry.

Soon after, the scaly horse galloped, running away carrying Lin Xun on its back, then quickly disappeared into the night.

He must leave as soon as possible!

Lin Xun knew it very well that Liu Yukun must be a very powerful person having a practitioner at the Sea Spirit Realm as his guard. When some Childe as powerful as him died, there would no doubt follow a lot of troubles.

“Howl”

Lin Xun was running wildly on the scaly horse when he heard an earth-shaking animal roar coming from afar which irritated the horse under him, making it groan and quite frenzied.

Behind him, an enormous golden beast was roaring in the far sky, its voice filled with anger.

Endless flames, like a flowing rainbow, poured down and burned the heaven and the earth, making it like a hell of fire.

It was too horrible!

Lin Xun congratulated himself privately for his luck. If he had been one minute late and stayed next to the dead body of Liu Yukun, he would have been dead too.

But Lin couldn’t know whether the old man and his party had died in the battle.

“No matter what, I must leave here as soon as possible.”

Lin took a deep breath and drove the scaly horse to keep running.

“Golden Flame Beast!”

“It was that. Can it be…”

It had been so many years. Who could ever imagine that the Golden Flame Beast which had a blood relationship with the ancient god beast Fire Kylin could still hide in these mountains!

“Indeed, there must be something unusual here. We all underestimated these mountains before. This is the first time for the last thousand years that we find the trace of the beast.”

“Let’s go take a look. Maybe this beast is related to that peerless treasure.”

At the same time, in different areas of the three thousand mountains, the horrific roar of the beast also attracted the attention of many top practitioners who came to look for the peerless treasure.

Such as Shie Yutang (the ninth son of the Shie Family), Shi Xuan (the first son of the Keystone Business), etc.

This night was bound to be eventful.

This was true for Lin Xun, as well as for the practitioners who gathered in the three thousand mountains because of the rumor of “the peerless treasure”.

What Lin Xun didn’t know was that before long, Liu Yukun’s charred body was found, causing a great disturbance.

He was the eldest son of Liu Wujun, the governor of the southwest province of the empire.

As for Liu Wujun, he was known to the imperial people as an overmatch at Tao Insight Realm who also had a great reputation in the whole empire.

Liu Wujun spent his whole life in military, a brave blood warrior. He had been in power in the southwest province of the empire for nearly fifty years, very famous and powerful.

Liu Yukun died in the three thousand mountains. As his father, how could Liu Wujun let it go without getting his revenge?
