Half a month passed by.
Wuqu City (City of Bravery and Fortune), one of the nearest to the Forbidden City, very famous in the Empire.
Twelve prosperous cities, including Wuqu City, surrounded the Forbidden City like stars. Many powerful forces also settled here.
It was noon, hot and dry.
On the broad official road to Wuqu City, a young man came in a hurry from ten kilometers away.
He was dressed simple and tied his hair with straw rope at will. On his clear and resolute face,there were deep black eyes and a smile.
Obviously, this man was Lin Xun.
When he saw the majestic outline of Wuqu City far away, his spirit was inspired so he accelerated his walking.
It had been more than a month since he left Mist City. Now he finally came to the nearest place to the Forbidden City, which made Lin Xun feel relieved.
He knew that as long as he stepped into Wuqu City, he no longer had to be afraid of murder from the Chi Family.
As one of the twelve cities guarding the capital, Wuqu City was garrisoned with many military forces and clans. Due to the complex population, Chi Family dared not kill Lin Xun in a blatant way.
“When I enter Wuqu City, I can hire a chariot to enter the Forbidden City before nightfall…”
Lin Xun planned his routine as he went on.
At this time, a light suddenly came from the void in the distance. A young man, who was handsome with a golden feather crown, stepped on the sword and flew away. The light of his sword was as bright as lightening. His sleeves appeared elegant as flying.
Sea Spirit Realm practitioner!
Lin Xun was a little surprised. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The boy was only twelve or thirteen years old as there was still childishness between his eyebrows. But such a boy could fly in the air! The surrounding purple aura made him look extremely powerful.
This was the first time Lin Xun saw such a young Sea Spirit Realm man. In the past, Lin Xun was always regarded as a practicing monster. But he became somewhat a normal person compared with that boy.
To Lin Xun’s surprise, the young boy on the sword rushed to his side with a fierce look.
“Are you Lin Xun?”
The young boy was standing high in the void. His eyes scanned Lin Xun from head to toe. When Lin Xun made an eye contact with him, he felt like suffering electric shock.
“You know me?”
Lin Xun was surprised.
“You are the one. I’ve been waiting for you for more than half a month. Now it’s time to kill you!”
The young boy was indifferent with purple spirit halo emitted from his body. He was now sharp and murderous like a sword out of its sheath.
Without waiting for Lin Xun’s reaction, he waved his hand and used the sword under his feet to make a strike. Clang, there was tearing sound of air.
Tittering!
The sword swept out, vibrating the air more than 30 meters away, easily cutting the void and earth like lightning.
At that moment, weather changed and the void seemed to be crying.
Lin Xun flashed fiercely and dodged to another side subconsciously. The blow was too terrible and reflected the power from sky and earth, which made him feel the ultimate danger.
Boom!
The earth was split and a straight crack with smoke and dust stretched over 50 meters.
And a piece of flesh was cut off his left arm by the blow and the blood flowed the moment he was dodging, which caused great pain to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun’s black eyes suddenly turned cold and indifferent. An uncontrollable killing intent surged in his heart. He was hurt by the boy and survived from a fatal blow as they met at the first time! How couldn’t he become angry?
Bang!
Without any hesitation, Lin Xun used the last Meteors Crossbow. The spirit arrows shot as bright as frost, as dreamlike as stars and fireworks.
In the past, Meteors Crossbow could play a miraculous effect and cause serious wounds to the enemy.
But now things changed!
When the bright torrential arrow rushed to the young boy, it suddenly stopped and froze in the range of 30 centimeters around him as if it was clutched by an invisible hand.
Sizzing!
The purple spirit around the young boy turned into a dense grid of flashing power. And the bright arrow was swallowed by the purple light and vanished like melting ice just in a moment!
This boy could take advantage of the power of sky and earth to turn his spirit into lightning! So he could ignore the attack from Meteors Crossbow!
This method was regarded as superb in the Sea Spirit Realm. One was able to exert his power only by mastering the ancient and powerful secret methods.
“Protecting oneself by taking advantage of the situation! Does this young boy have such attainments in his practicing? He must not be an ordinary practitioner! ”
Lin Xun was shocked.
Sea Spirit Realm practitioner was able to control and understand the wonderful essence in this world. They had many powerful means such as controlling thunder and fire, flying through the sky and earth, killing people without touching, controlling the general weather, and etc!
If someone reached this realm, it was equal to say that he was Reaching for the Sky in cultivation. It would be easy for him to fly in the sky and control wind and rains at will.
There were countless practitioners in the world, but less than one in ten thousand of them could reach Sea Spirit Realm.
The young boy in the opposite side, who had entered the Sea Spirit Realm since he was a teenager and mastered extremely profound secret skills, was rare in the world. He should be peerless!
Although Lin Xun was able to defeat Heaven-gang Realm man with his power of Earth-gang Realm, he still felt great pressure in the face of such an outstanding youngster of Sea Spirit Realm.
“You are good enough to resist my attack in the Earth-gang Realm, but you’re still weak for me!”
Soon, after resolving Lin Xun’s attack of Starry-frost Arrows, the young boy snapped his fingers in the air with a cold look.
Wheezing, a cluster of purple spirit aura turned into three threads of sword intent and flew more than 30 meters over to kill Lin Xun!
That terrible sword intent seemed to tear up the void. It was extremely fierce and terrible.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Xun didn’t have any power to resist these blows so he could only dodge with all his strength. Although he avoided all of them, his left leg, back and shoulder got hurt again, blood dripping and white bones peeping up.
It was horrible!
Only when Lin Xun faced the real strongman of Sea Spirit Realm could he understand the terrible power, which could easily suppress Gang Spirit Realm practitioners without any suspense.
Although Ziying Battleship was powerful, it didn’t have wisdom after all. Practitioner, who had secret methods and wisdom, would show different prowess when they fought.
“Eh?”
The young boy was surprised by Lin Xun’s second escape. He longed his face and said coldly, “Let me see the show of a struggling ant as you!”
He grabbed in the void.
Clang!
The spirit sword rose from the sky and dribbled around his body continuously, spraying out terrifying sword power.
The void collapsed and turned into a vacuum. There was no doubt that this would be a shocking strike when the terrible sword attacked him!
It was impossible for Lin Xun to escape because the space around him had been completely locked!
At that moment, Lin Xun suddenly clenched his teeth. A fierce color flashed in his black eyes. All the strength in his body was mobilized, roaring and boiling.
Flowing Light Sabre rang in his right hand.
On Lin Xun’s left hand there was a pigeon-egg-size black round bead.
As this bomb was about to start, a gentle and kind voice suddenly sounded in the distance.
“If you dare to do this, I will kill you here.”
The young boy’s face changed after he heard this warning. But a fierce color flashed between his eyebrows, and the spiritual sword, which had been in a long-standing position, came out suddenly.
Boom ~ ~
The void was crushed and collapsed.
However, the spiritual sword was seized by an old hand in the middle of the way, and it could not break away by any means.
At the same time, an old man appeared in front of Lin Xun like a huge mountain.
“How dare you stop me, old man!”
The young boy was angry and shouted out.
But the old man’s fingers flicked and broke the spiritual sword with a click. The young boy’s face immediately turned pale and he snorted as if he suffered a backfire.
“If you don’t leave in three seconds, I will end your life here.”
The old man’s voice was still gentle and kind, but he frightened the young man without any emotions like he was saying a tiny thing.
The young boy’s face changed sharply. He gritted his teeth angrily, “Remember, I will revenge myself for the grudge and let you suffer ten times one day!”
After that, he threw his sleeves back and left.
The old man turned around and looked at Lin Xun until the young boy disappeared completely. He apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t expect that the boy of Chi family would come to deal with you without permission.”
Lin Xun shook his head and thanked, “That’s not your problem. Thank you for coming to help me in time.”
When Lin Xun spoke, he silently bandaged his wound. He appeared abnormaly calm. Until he tidied the wound, he asked, “Predecessor, who is that man?”
“He is Chi Cangfeng, one of the most outstanding members of Chi Family. He was born with the blood of Golden Sea and Purple Lotus and has a unique talent.”
The old man casually explained what kind of person Chi Cangfeng was. He didn’t praise Chi Cangfeng on purpose, but he just told Lin Xun truth. Chi cangfeng was indeed an extremely dazzling figure. This was also recognized by many great wigs in the Forbidden City.
“Why did he want to kill me?”
Lin Xun continued.
“Because of Shia Zhi.”
The old man’s unexpected answer stunned Lin Xun slightly.
He frowned and asked again after a while, “What did this have to do with Shia Zhi?”
The old man answered with thought, “It’s a long story. Come with me. When you enter the Forbidden City, I will tell you everything you want to know.”
Lin Xun nodded.
The old man threw his sleeves behind, and a soft force came out, holding him and Lin Xun together in the sky and flying towards the far distance.
Lin Xun quietly put away the black bead on his left hand.
This pearl was Shaking Heaven Pearl. It was a unique thing refined by Green Turtle King when it was trapped in the ancient relic alone for thousands of years. It was powerful enough to hit the strongman of Tao Insight Realm!
However, it was extremely difficult and complicated to refine. In the thousands of years, Green Turtle King only succeeded in refining nine of them. When they parted, Green Turtle King gave Lin Xun three as gifts.
If the old man didn’t show up before, Lin Xun would never mind taking the Chi Cangfeng to try the power of Shaking Heaven Pearl!
What a pity that the opportunity had been missed. He had to keep and use it later.
