Chapter 305 Encircled - Blade Power Shakes the Mountain (1)

The enemies shouldn’t have realized yet, right?

Lin Xun believed that everything was under his control after entering Yellow Dragon City.

First, he used Lu Shaoyun as a guise to divert the enemies’ attention, then came to the Rune Master Association without anyone knowing and successfully broke through to the Earth Dipper Stage after four days.

Lin Xun thought he had thrown his enemies off the track by disguising himself and leaving Yellow Dragon City.

“As long as I can successfully leave the periphery of Yellow Dragon City, the enemies won’t have as many opportunities to encircle me as they did in the past.”

Lin Xun had studied the route from Yellow Dragon City to Forbidden City and knew that it passed many prosperous and populated cities and many military bases along the way.

In other words, his enemies would have few opportunities to deal with him without attracting attention once he passed Yellow Dragon City.

However, he still didn’t dare to be careless.

According to the information that he had obtained from interrogating the others, he was dealing with three thousand cultivators in total!

In other words, the hundreds of cultivators he had killed along the way were only a small fraction of the total.

The real danger had yet to appear!

……

When he was almost ten miles away from Yellow Dragon City, there was only a small number of people on the road. Most left the city on beast carts, rune shuttles, and other forms of transportation.

The majority of those walking like Lin Xun were ordinary people. Only a handful of cultivators chose to travel by foot like Lin Xun.

“Huh? What is going on ahead?”

“A group of cultivators has set up a checkpoint. You must pass their inspection to pass through.”

“Why is that? Did something happen?”

The commotion caught Lin Xun’s attention.

A thought struck his mind. He released his spirit sensing power in his mind-sea. It spread out like the tide and instantly covered thousands of feet.

Immediately, he saw fifty-odd cultivators in black robes standing on both sides of a road and each wielding different aeth tools.

A long queue of people was lining up in front of the cultivators. Only those who passed their inspection could pass.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. My enemies have quick reactions!

He furtively glanced around and noticed several faint and almost imperceptible auras concealed in the dense forest on both sides of the road. It was impossible to avoid the road and detour through the forests.

He raised his head and ran his eyes across the sky. He discovered black dots patrolling back and forth along the sky.

They were wind shadow hawks!

This wasn’t the first time that Lin Xun had noticed the presence of wind shadow hawks. He knew they were well-trained birds with terrifying detection and surveillance abilities.

“It seems like the enemies have blocked all the paths ahead.” Lin Xun couldn’t help but scrunch his brows as he analyzed his situation. He had thought that he could deceive everyone with his disguise and leave without gathering any attention.

What should I do?

Enter the forest and try to outrun the enemies lying in ambush there or directly charge through the checkpoint ahead?

He didn’t know how many people had been deployed and what was lying ahead so he had to be extra careful.

Suddenly, noises pierced the air. Without turning around, Lin Xun knew that many cultivators were heading toward him.

Have I been discovered?

He immediately hid among the crowd of ordinary people and watched on.

He needed some time to analyze the situation.

When the group of black-robed cultivators came over, the crowd became uneasy and their expressions changed. They hurriedly move to the side of the path.

“Wait!”

Just as the group of cultivators was about to pass the crowd, a blood-red light flashed in the pale-faced leader’s eyes and he stopped abruptly.

The group of cultivators behind him also stopped.

His eyes resembled blood-red beads as they ran over the crowd. At the same time, he sniffed the air like he was searching for something.

A group of murderous-looking cultivators and a red-eyed man with strange behavior undoubtedly made the ordinary people tremble in terror. They didn’t know what was happening.

The leader’s eyes landed on Lin Xun, and a blood-colored glint flashed in his eyes. “Target…”

A crossbow arrow ripped the sky like a meteor and sped down towards the leader.

Unexpectedly, the leader let out a strange cry and vanished like a giant bat.

Bang!

In the end, the arrow failed to hit its intended target and only blasted a bottomless hole into the ground, whipping up a cloud of smoke and dust into the air.

Lin Xun was a little surprised that the man could evade his attack, but he didn’t think much about it and just darted into the dense forest.

“Go!”

“The target has appeared! Quick!”

“Send a signal! Notify everyone to prepare for battle!”

The place was thrown into chaos. The majority of the people present were ordinary people, so they immediately fled in a panic.

However, no one cared about their lives. The black-robed cultivators did everything they could to catch up to Lin Xun and kill him when they discovered him.

The enemies lying in ambush were also alerted. They sent out signals and launched into action.

“Kill!”

Eight black-robes cultivators charged head-on towards Lin Xun in an attempt to stop him.

Lin Xun brought his blade up in a forward slash. At that moment, it was as though a streak of light from hell had torn apart the darkness.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Instantly, the eight black-robed cultivators collapsed like straws and blood jetted everywhere.

And taking this opportunity, Lin Xun was about to rush into the forest, but he suddenly halted and his eyes narrowed. He sensed over one hundred people charging out like the tide from the depths of the forest!

Why are there so many enemies?

Lin Xun was bewildered.

During his brief pause, enemies had already emerged in all four directions around him.

More and more cultivators were appearing in other directions.

“Kill!”

“The target is there!”

The roar and yells were so loud that they shook the sky and smoke filled the world.

“This isn’t Xu Qianjing’s usual tactic. It’s too barbaric, too unrefined…”

A chilling glint flashed across Lin Xun’s jet-black eyes and he began to focus. His expression became calm, indifferent and determined.

His aeth dipper power had skyrocketed after he broke through to the Earth Dipper Stage, and it was erupting like a volcano in his body. It instantly reached its peak state while wisps of sky-blue light circled him. He was glowing like an immortal being.

The ancient jet-black blade unleashed a cry in his hand as it released a terrifying fiendish qi. It resembled an ancient beast awakening from a deep slumber that longed to drink blood!

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Waves of enemies were charging toward him from all directions and murderous intent had pervaded the area

The failure of their operations a few days ago had already proved that their target was extremely terrifying to deal with. Even if they had an advantage in numbers, they didn’t dare to let their guard down.

On the contrary, everyone had mobilized their power to its peak!

Suddenly, streaks of dazzling light swept across the sky, crisscrossing like rain. Every type of martial arts weapon was pouring down their aura like powerful waterfalls, and it was crushing the air.

The scene was too terrifying.

Not one person among the hundreds of thousands of elite cultivators was weaker than the Human Dipper Stage. Not only that, there were many fierce characters of the Earth Dipper and Heaven Dipper Stage.

They were like a powerful army that could shatter the mountains, crush the rivers, and wipe out thousands of people!

The most chilling thing was that that sheer number of people was sufficient to block all escape routes!

If other cultivators were present, they would have already collapsed from the terrifying scale of the attack and lost all fighting spirit.

However—

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips curved upwards in a cold smile. He didn’t evade or block the attacks. He just stood there fearlessly and indifferently.

The Flowing Light Blade roaring in his hand suddenly soared into the air!

Buzz!

Following a peculiar cry, the world around them seemed to plunge into eternal darkness and countless stars descended. They released dazzling rays of light.

Star Gather!

Lin Xun didn’t hesitate to use his strongest attack right away!

The enemies surrounding him all looked dazed as their bodies fell into a state of terror. It was as though they had plunged into an abyss of darkness and were unable to free themselves.

This was the deterrent power of martial arts. The more ancient an art was, the more terrifying its power!

Star Gather originated from the Secret-Omega Realm and was one of the three great moves of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art. It had a mysterious origin, and Lin Xun had gone through hundreds of battles to improve his mastery of Star-Gather.

Therefore, his Star-Gather was completely different from the past. It contained a mighty and majestic power, exuding a strong deterrent force!

Most importantly, Lin Xun’s strength had soared after his breakthrough to the Earth Dipper Stage, and he was no longer the same as before!

The moment he brought out his blade, it was as though the world had fallen into a state of eternal darkness and stars were falling from the sky. The hundreds of cultivators charging toward Lin Xun all became paralyzed with terror, resembling statues.

Immediately, their bodies exploded. Blood gushed out like waterfalls, and broken limbs were hurled everywhere. Even the air was dyed red!

A deep crack spanning several hundred feet had split the ground in front of Lin Xun. It resembled a bottomless chasm marking the passageway to hell.
