Chapter 26 (1/2)

Brow like a sword, gaze like a lightning, Lin Xun now turned to a completely different person with composure and killing intent that was impossible to be seen in a 13-year-old young boy.

Shua***

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun started the attack. With a sudden move of his body, he wielded his knife right at Qian Qi’s face from a tricky angle.

In such a case, he knew it well that there was no chance of bargaining and the best option was to take the initiative.

The saber-light ripped the air just like tearing a piece of thin cloth, creating whimpering sounds that could pierce eardrum. The dagger moved like a galloping horse with irresistible force as strong as a rainbow.

Weng***

Qian Qi reacted swiftly. Shaking the iron spear in his hand in a special pattern, he confronted Lin Xun’s attack skillfully and ferociously.

He had accompanied Lian Rufeng all these years transporting goods between the Green-sun Tribe and Feiyun Village, during which he had killed numerous beasts and fought with many villains trying to rob them, equipping him with astute and deadly battling experience.

At this moment, he would definitely not be startled by Lin Xun’s sudden attack.

It was the same case with Lu Ting. Rude as he usually was, he was also quite experienced in fighting. Seeing that Lin Xun attacked Qian Qi first, he couldn’t help sneering in heart, “What an idiot! A clever guy would never choose Qian Qi as his opponent in such a condition.”

Although it seemed that the second level of Martial Realm was only one grade away from the third level, there was vast difference between them.

However, much to his surprise, Lin Xun turned around, tapped hard on the ground with the tip of his toes, and changed his direction abruptly just as he was about to confront Qian Qi.

Shua***

The cyan dagger was fast like lightning, sharp and fierce like gusty wind. It was the “side splitting” of “splitting” in the Six-word Saberplay, the essence of which was to trick the enemy and attack by surprise.

This move was so unpredictable and difficult to guard against that it could kill the enemy in a single strike, presenting an unstoppable power.

Lu Ting’s pupils contracted due to surprise. It suddenly occurred to Lu Ting that Lin Xun just made a gesture of attacking Qian Qi, while in fact, he himself was the goal.

Lu Ting roared from wrath. Swinging the hammer against his chest as defense, he retreated far back immediately to avoid the strike.

But Lin Xun would never miss such a good chance. Without any delay, the cyan dagger in his hand changed suddenly from “slide splitting” to “sticky tangling” of the move “tangling”. It danced like a silkworm spinning, then stuck to Lu Ting’s hammer just like a magnet.

Bang!

As gentle as the move might look, it created a power so enormous that it shattered Lu Ting’s right wrist into pieces, his hammer falling to the ground. Lu Ting, on the other hand, was like being hit by a powerful bull, flying over 10 meters away with blood spraying from his mouth and nose. He then passed out before he could scream.

Seeing that Lu Ting was struck down, Lin Xun ducked swiftly aside without sparing a gaze and narrowly avoided Qian Qi who came at him from the side.

“Lu Ting!” Qian Qi got furious with a sullen look. He was shocked by Lin Xun’s fluent strikes that were fast like a sprinting rabbit, leaving no time for him to save Lu Ting.

He also never expected that Lin Xun would be so foxy and turned his dagger against Lu Ting in the middle of the fight. Worse still, Lu Ting was unexpectedly lame and was defeated by just one attack.

“You sinister little thing!” Qian Qi cursed with a cold voice, his killing intent spilling over. Eyeing sharply at Lin Xun, he was now rageful.

Paying no attention to that, Lin Xun smiled and came right at Qian Qi with his dagger.

He had no time for all those nonsense. Now that he finished Lu Ting, who was just like a stumbling block, he could focus all his attention on defeating Qian Qi, who was a powerful practitioner at the third level of Martial Realm.

Shua, shua, shua!

Lin Xun exerted all moves of the Six-word Saberplay, wielding his cyan knife changeably in the air, sometimes moving gently like a dancing butterfly, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes like a landslide or a tsunami crushing all, sometimes like a spark or lightning striking in all directions.

It would not be overstated to say that he was like a startled dragon and the knife was like avalanche, leaving no chance for Qian Qi to catch his breath.

The martial art Qian Qi practiced was named “Hawk Spear”, whose moves were cunning and deadly with irresistible force. Combined with his cultivation at Viscera Opening, his combating power was undoubtedly strong and could kill an ordinary practitioner at the second level of Martial Realm in a blink of eye.

On the contrary, he was now completely overwhelmed by Lin Xun and retreated constantly without the slightest chance to fight back.

Qian Qi got a very sharp eye. So he knew it instantly that Lin Xun was exerting a powerful saberplay that was unparalleled by any common martial arts.

Were it only so, he could still suppress Lin Xun with a higher level of cultivation. However, it never occurred to him that Lin Xun was not a half penny worse than him!

How could it be?

How come a 13-year-old boy at the second level of Martial Realm possessed spirit power so thick and strong?

Qian Qi was surprised and infuriated in heart. As cautious as he usually was, soon he realized that he had underestimated this young boy.

All those years of journey to the Green-sun Tribe had equipped him with some knowledge that many gifted youngsters might show shallow cultivation to the eye, but in fact, they could fight across levels.

Such young talents were extremely hard to meet, merely once in a century.

Even in the populated Green-sun Tribe, which had 8,000 inhabitants, only a few had such gifts and fighting abilities.
