The 7th army camp.
Lu Wenting’s face was white with rage. Flames nearly spouted from his eyes as he roared, “Where is he? God damnit! Didn’t I tell you guys to protect Young Master Lin no matter what? Instead, you guys are the ones who escaped and returned! Do you think I don’t dare to kill any of you?”
His voice boomed like thunder, nearly flipping over the roof and causing the guards outside to tremble in fear. This was the first time they had seen Lu Wenting so enraged.
In the room, Hu Tong and the others bowed their heads in shame.
“Hu Tong, you stay behind. Everyone else, scram!”
Lu Wenting knew that anger wasn’t going to solve anything. The most important thing to do was to quickly understand the situation and try to find a solution.
When A'bi, Yang Xiong, and the rest left, Hu Tong took a deep breath and began recounting the events of their journey to Tiger Canyon.
Gasp!
Lu Wenting could not help but gasp upon hearing that Lin Xun gravely injured several Enlightened Spirit experts in succession with a bow and awed everyone with his might.
His expression changed again, growing worried when he heard that Lin Xun had decided to stay behind to keep the Brute experts busy and buy time for Hu Tong and the others to escape.
“No wonder you guys managed to reach the camp despite your heavy injuries…”
Lu Wenting glanced at Hu Tong. He had noticed from the beginning that Hu Tong and the others were gravely injured when they returned. Their bodies had been covered in blood, and it was a miracle that they had returned to the camp alive.
After hearing the recount, Lu Wenting realized that Hu Tong and the others had only managed to survive because Lin Xun had been stalling the enemies!
With a deep breath, Hu Tong gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. “I owe my life to Young Master Lin and returned to seek help from Lord Lu. Please dispatch experts to save Young Master Lin. If he dies on the battlefield, I will live my entire life in guilt and shame!”
“Cut the useless crap. If something happens to Young Master Lin, even General Zhangsun will be implicated, let alone nobodies like me and you!”
Lu Wenting icily snorted and hurriedly left.
He was extremely anxious and knew that they could not waste a single second more. If something did happen to Lin Xun, they would never be able to explain themselves to the Blood Kill King…
“Even General Zhangsun will be implicated?”
Hu Tong’s heart jumped wildly. Only now did he realize that Young Master Lin’s origins were more terrifying than he had imagined.
Moments later, a thunderous roar boomed from the 7th army camp’s general tent, “Lu Wenting, how did you create such a big mess on the first day the kid arrived!? Have you become retarded while being the quartermaster? Who told you to send the kid to the battlefield? Ehhh?”
Countless empire cultivators in the area stopped what they were doing as their hearts shivered. What was going on with General Zhangsun? What had made him so furious?
“Ready a battleship and follow me to Tiger Canyon! I’ll bury whoever dares to delay a single second!”
Soon after, Zhangsun Lie’s mighty figure rose into the sky with an earth-shaking roar, scattering the clouds as he dashed off like a trail of smoke.
The entire camp was in a flurry as numerous empire cultivators were mobilized. They boarded the large-scale empire battleship which soon rushed out of the camp to catch up with Zhangsun Lie.
Numerous cultivators were stupefied by this scene. What kind of bigshot was General Zhangsun rushing to save?
……
The underground cavern in Tiger Canyon.
“Biluo Arrow…”
When Lin Xun attempted to scan the black arrow with his senses, his spirit immediately shuddered as it was assaulted by explosive, piercing pain.
Meanwhile, a terrifying scene appeared in his head.
Deep in the vast outer space, a divine black arrow flashed past, destroying a star with a loud rumble and turning it into dust.
The instantaneous destructive power made Lin Xun’s hands and feet turn cold and his scalp turn numb.
Destroying stars?
Only Saints could possess such almighty power, right?
Before Lin Xun could react, another astonishing scene emerged. Deep in outer space, a titanic savage-beast carrying a bronze palace on its back appeared.
The beast crossed the endless expanse of outer space, zipping past stars as chaos qi spread from the bronze palace on its back, making it impossible to look inside.
Indescribable shock rose within him. It felt like a legendary tale from the ancient era and was unbelievable, to say the least.
Since the beginning of time, who had dared to ascend above the skies into the magnificent and endless outer space?
And yet, a savage-beast carrying a bronze palace was traveling through the endless primal chaos of outer space to some unknown destination!
Rumble!
The divine black arrow appeared again, seemingly intent to destroy the bronze palace on the beast’s back.
In the end, however, it was struck by a mysterious Ruyi Scepter that had appeared out of nowhere. The collision produced a blast of terrifying divine light that destroyed several nearby stars!
It was at this moment that the scene disappeared.
Lin Xun was drenched in cold sweat as his heart shivered in fear. How much power would one need to achieve such destruction?
Who exactly had used that mysterious Ruyi Scepter?
Was the bronze palace destroyed in the end?
Lin Xun did not know the answers to any of these questions. The only thing he knew was that the unstoppable and almighty divine black arrow that had traveled through outer space was currently in his hand.
It was called ‘Biluo’!
However, compared to the divine black arrow he had seen, the Biluo Arrow looked much plainer and gave off a sensation that it was in a deep slumber.
“No-Nonsense Bow, Biluo Arrow, there must be some relation between the two. Otherwise, they would not have resonated with each other…”
Lin Xun fell into thought.
The No-Nonsense Bow was made from white bones, and its bowstring was red as blood. On the other hand, the Biluo arrow was pitch-black like the night with only some traces of faint red in its fletching, making it appear simple and unremarkable.
One was white and one was black, but both were also dyed in specks of red. It did seem strange and mysterious.
When he first obtained the No-Nonsense Bow a long time ago, Lin Xun had been curious about whether there were arrows that came in a set with it that could display an even greater power.
The Biluo Arrow’s appearance had finally confirmed Lin Xun’s suspicions. In fact, he was already itching to test out what kind of power would be produced when he used the No-Nonsense Bow with the Biluo Arrow.
In the end, Lin Xun resisted the temptation. If his estimations were correct, numerous Brute experts were already rushing to Tiger Canyon and he could not stay much longer.
Lin Xun returned from the route he came from. On the way, he pulled out the Broken Blade that he had stuck into the wall previously.
By this juncture, the blade had nearly absorbed all of the Meteor Star Steel power in the vicinity.
However, Lin Xun was somewhat disappointed. Although some changes had clearly occurred to the Broken Blade, all he could tell so far was that it had become a little ‘cleaner’ and gave off slightly purer starlight.
One thing worth noticing was that some faint mysterious runes had appeared on the surface of the blade. However, they were extremely blurry and incomplete, making it almost impossible to make out without close inspection.
When Lin Xun tried to identify the mysterious runes with his spirit senses, he found himself unable to do so because they were far too blurry and cryptic. There was nothing he could do.
“When the Broken Blade absorbs enough power, things might be different…”
Lin Xun fell deep in thought.
……
When Lin Xun dragged out his three full sacks of battle spoils to the entrance of the cave, his eyes immediately narrowed.
He could sense numerous powerful presences rushing toward Tiger Canyon from all directions. They clearly made no effort to hide, making them easy to detect.
Swish!
Lin Xun activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step. He turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot as he rushed out of Tiger Canyon.
“Quickly!”
“That human youngster is so ballsy. I can’t believe he dared to come back. I won’t let him off this time!”
“Abominable! We were this close to killing those empire cultivators, but have no choice but to rush back because of this. If I see that human youngster, I’ll skin him alive!”
Curses rang out at the entrance of the canyon as figure after figure soon dashed into the Brute Blood Magi Array.
The two Enlightened Spirit experts, Jin Wu and Feng Kun, were amongst them. The two were also accompanied by several experts who gave off similarly powerful auras.
These were evidently the powerhouses who had been sent to reinforce Tiger Canyon!
When they walked into the canyon, they found the place was a mess with blood and corpses everywhere. The dreadful scene triggered them, causing them to furiously curse and swear.
None of them noticed that an almost invisible silhouette had flashed through the Brute Blood Magi Array when they stepped into the canyon.
The silhouette naturally belonged to Lin Xun.
“What a close call! I would have been stuck on the other side if I was a step slower.” Lin Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could continue his escape, however, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He immediately hid in the shadow of a nearby hill and fully circulated the ‘Suanni Qi’, causing his presence and the sacks to disappear as if they had evaporated into thin air.
Swoosh!
At nearly the same moment, a shadow appeared. A thin suntanned elder had appeared at Lin Xun’s previous position like a phantom.
“It’s him!”
Lin Xun’s pupils shrank. He had identified the person.
When he arrived at Blood Kill Battlefield yesterday, he was about to kill the ‘shadow man’ who possessed the Darkness Brute Royal Bloodline but was stopped by a terrifying presence at the last moment.
It was the same terrifying presence he was now sensing, and it originated from the elder who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
“A Half-Step Life Death Stage King…it seems that the Brute Tribes have become serious. It’s a pity that the Biluo Arrow they painstakingly tried to obtain has already fallen into my hands…”
Lin Xun tried his best to keep calm. He knew that the danger had yet to pass.
“Eh?”
The thin elder stood there with a suspicious expression as he looked about as if he had sensed something.
In the end, he shook his head and walked into Tiger Canyon.
