Chapter 306 Encircled—Blade Power Shakes the Mountain (2)
Xiaomu, the first to discover Lin Xun, had already fled.
Not only did he narrowly escape Lin Xun’s sudden crossbow attack, but he also slipped away to the periphery of the battlefield in a flash.
“That kid has such quick reactions. His crossbow would have killed me if I was a little slower,” Xiaomu uttered, his heart still thumping with fear.
The bamboo hat man said leisurely, “It’s been hard, but that kid can’t possibly escape now regardless of how strong he is!”
In their eyes, Lin Xun was fully surrounded, alone and would, sooner or later, be drowned by their tremendous army!
“Huh?” The bamboo hat man’s expression suddenly changed. “A terrifying aura!
Almost at the same time, Xiaomu’s body went stiff and a cold sensation rushed up in his heart. He was horrified to see an indescribably terrifying aura enveloping Lin Xun.
In particular, Lin Xun’s blade was constantly releasing a clear and resounding cry in his hand. It was like a peerless weapon awakening from a deep slumber!
“His aura doesn’t seem right...” remarked the bamboo hat man.
“It’s indeed terrifying. He doesn’t look like a Human Dipper cultivator at all. Could he have...” Xiaomu said in a trembling voice.
Before he finished his sentence, he and the bamboo hat man froze and their eyes went wide like lightning had struck them.
Lin Xun was performing Star-Gather.
Even though they were far away, their minds were still affected. They seemed to see the world fall into eternal darkness and stars drop from the sky. They felt that they had been plunged into a bottomless abyss and flooded with indescribable fear and powerlessness.
What kind of cultivation art is that!?
When the two snapped to their senses, their bodies were soaked in cold sweat and hundreds of their comrades had exploded on the battlefield. Their flesh and blood shot everywhere!
A bottomless chasm-like crack had split the ground. Caught off guard, some cultivators were pulled into the crack.
The scene was bloody, hair-raising, and shocking!
Hiss!
Xiaomu and the bamboo hat man shuddered while inhaling sharply. They felt their souls had left their bodies. The power of that blade is too terrifying.
Not only the two were like that, but all the cultivators surrounding Lin Xun also stood rooted to the spot with horrified faces.
Too terrifying!
They couldn’t imagine how someone at the Human Dipper Stage could possess such power.
Even a Spirit Sea cultivator wouldn’t be able to launch an attack with that power!
However, they all got something wrong. Lin Xun was no longer a Human Dipper cultivator. Instead, he was an Earth Dipper cultivator with the ability to master heaven and earth!
This was unexpected!
After all, who would have thought that Lin Xun could break through to the Earth Dipper Stage within just a few days of entering Yellow Dragon City while under their surveillance?
Their mistake might not be fatal, but, in battle, it was an unexpected attack!
It was precisely because Lin Xun had reached the Earth Dipper Cultivation, wielded the peerless Flowing Light Blade, and had mastered the ancient and mysterious Star-Gather that he was able to slaughter hundreds of cultivators in a split second, stunning everyone!
He had overawed them with his strength!
Lin Xun immediately resorted to Star-Gather because he knew he was facing too many enemies.
His enemies were all aggressively waiting to strike. If he showed his power and might right away, he could destroy their fighting spirit, stun them, and create an opportunity for himself.
He had succeeded!
……
The power of his blade swept across all ten directions, shocked everyone, and destroyed all fighting spirit.
Taking that opportunity, Lin Xun charged forward!
A dreamy sky-blue glow shrouded his body and his imposing aura raged like a storm. The Flowing Light Blade emitted a fierce monstrous power, seemingly eager to drink blood.
In the blink of an eye, another dozen cultivators were caught off guard on the battlefield and killed on the spot.
Screams, cries, roars, yells...and all sorts of voices incessantly rang out.
The cloying smell of blood filled the air.
This was the advantage of being unexpected. Lin Xun was able to attack his enemies’ fighting spirit and mind, and launch a mighty assault!
Die!
Lin Xun’s eyes were as chilling as lightning and his figure was as bright as a rainbow. He destroyed everything in the way and cleared a path in the center of the enemy’s army, charging straight through!
Wherever he went, no enemy was able to survive one attack.
Everywhere he passed was always left with a pile of corpses!
This was Lin Xun’s power after breaking through to the Earth Dipper Stage; it was as vast and mighty as the sea and as sharp as the tip of a spear.
What was the Earth Dipper Stage?
To perceive heaven and earth with your own ability.
Once a cultivator reached the Earth Dipper Stage, they would begin to perceive the relationship between themselves and heaven and earth, begin to appreciate the great phenomenons of heaven and earth, and master heaven and earth. They would undergo a brand-new transformation on their cultivation path.
Their aeth dipper power would transform into earth dipper power and integrate with the heaven and earth to form majestic powers.
In cultivation, it was called Down-to-Earth.
People often said that pretentious people were not down-to-earth, but in cultivation, Down-to-Earth was a characteristic of the Earth Dipper Stage.
In short, in the Earth Dipper Stage, a cultivator would comprehend the power of the earth, gather the qi of the earth and base everything around the earth. Only then would one understand Heaven!
To understand heaven was to understand the phenomenons of heaven, an integral part of the Heaven Dipper Stage.
Only by truly comprehending and mastering the phenomenon of heaven and earth would a cultivator be able to further control and understand the various wonders and secrets between heaven and earth. These were abilities that only Spirit Sea cultivators could possess.
Now that Lin Xun had broken through to the Earth Dipper Stage, his cultivation, power, and strength had undergone earth-shaking transformations. He was beginning to become Down-to-Earth and was completely different from the past.
Additionally, he aimed for the ultimate perfection realm during his breakthrough and laid an incomparably solid foundation for the Earth Dipper Stage. As a result, he possessed powers beyond imagination.
This was reflected in the battle!
Die!
Lin Xun was like a fierce tiger emerging from his den. Regardless of what techniques or weapons his enemies used, all were instantly killed, including Earth Dipper and Heaven Dipper cultivators.
Most terrifyingly, Lin Xun showed an unusually calm judgment and didn’t make any reckless decisions throughout the process.
Every time he attacked, he assessed the situation first, analyzed the weakness of the enemies, and predicted the changes in the situation.
At the same time, to conserve strength, he would only kill with the aeth crossbows that he had stowed away!
In such close-range attacks and with so many enemies around him, he didn’t need to aim accurately to display terrifying destructive power from the crossbows.
Despite the enemies being equipped with various sophisticated crossbows, they were all completely useless.
Since they only had one target, friendly fire was incredibly likely due to the sheer number of their comrades.
In addition to being bloody and brutal, the battle was a little abnormal. Lin Xun was like a cold and ruthless executioner. He killed instantly with a swing of his blade or the flutter of his crossbow.
His enemies could only rely on their advantage in numbers to encircle Lin Xun and fight with their lives.
In the distance, Xiaomu and the bamboo hat man were ashen-faced and their eyes were wide with disbelief.
Who would have imagined that their target would still be able to single-handedly fight the waves of cultivators?
They were most terrified by the fact that Lin Xun’s imposing bearing had been growing stronger and stronger since the battle began. He was simply unstoppable and invincible!
“Although that guy has reached the Earth Dipper Stage, the change in his strength is still too terrifying. He doesn’t seem like an Earth Dipper cultivator at all. He more resembles a true Spirit Sea cultivator!” Xiaomu exclaimed, his face pale.
“Don’t forget that he was first place in the provincial exam of the Southwest Province despite being only at the Human Dipper Stage. There are only thirty-four provinces in the empire, so there are only thirty-four first places and Lin Xun was one of them.”
The bamboo hat man took a deep breath. “As you can imagine, since the kid could counter our operations time and time again when he was only at the Human Dipper Stage, now that he has reached the Earth Dipper Stage…”
His voice had become strained as he reached the end of the sentence. Even if he could analyze Lin Xun’s strength and understand how terrifying it was, it was hard for him to accept the fact that there would be a demon-like youngster like him in the world.
“This isn’t good! We can’t stop him. Quickly mobilize all the other troops in other areas!” Xiaomu’s expression dramatically changed when he saw that Lin Xun was about to break out of the encirclement!
“No matter how many people you mobilize, you won’t be able to kill him!” the bamboo hat man said through gritted teeth. Suddenly, he brought out a bone whistle and put it to his lips.
“Boss, You..”
Hu—
The bamboo hat man blew the bone whistle and a peculiar noise spread across the area.
“Fortunately, the kid hasn’t reached the Spirit Sea Stage and can’t move freely in the air. None of us is a match for him, so we can only dispatch the Violet Hero Battleships and launch airstrikes from the sky to kill the kid!”
