Chapter 215: Hunting Begins



After a moment, he suddenly inhaled deeply and circulated the Little Divine Meditation Art. While visualizing the star cycles, he again drew the blood-red bowstring.

In the blink of the eye, a familiar ice-cold aura surged throughout his body, bringing his consciousness and emotions into an extreme state of calmness.

The only difference from the last time was that this time Lin Xun had protected his mind using the mystery of the star cycle. The changing star cycle unbelievably produced a magical effect and he no longer felt his mind being occupied like it did before.

As he circulated the star cycle technique, he maintained an icy-calm state while the No-Nonsense Bow quivered in his hand like it was bowing and as if it was awakening from years of silence. Vaguely, Lin Xun felt like he could command the bow with ease as though they were connected by blood.

He relaxed his finger, and the fully drawn bowstring suddenly fired out a ray of fuzzy gray light. It was silent and almost illusory but it tore the surrounding space apart!

Lin Xun felt around 20% of the spirit dipper power in his body being drawn away, and about 10% of his spirit sense power being consumed.

With a slight pff, a bottomless hole was blasted into the ground.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes as he awakened from the state of extreme calmness. He stepped forward to survey the hole. He noticed that the edges of the hole were smooth and clean but he couldn’t determine how deep the hole was even with his spirit sense power.

But it was at least a thousand feet deep!

Lin Xun knew this because the range of his spirit sense was currently around one thousand feet.

“One strike consumed 20% of my power and 10% of my spirit sense power…”

Lin Xun quickly made a calculation in his mind and concluded that he could at most fire the bow around five times with his current cultivation.

He suddenly remembered how Remnant Wind was able to fire the bow over thousands of times when he attempted to assassinate him!

“There has to be a unique secret technique to completely control this bow. Otherwise, it’s impossible that Remnant Wind could control the bow given that he’s only at the Human Dipper Stage,” Lin Xun contemplated

The No-Nonsense Bow was unimaginably powerful and full of mystery. It was a rare precious treasure in the world.

If a cultivator was able to fully control it, it could produce unimaginable effects during assassination and ambush.

Suddenly, faint footsteps sounded from behind the door.

Lin Xun froze. He immediately discovered that a dark shadow was approaching the door.

The dark shadow had concealed its aura like a ghost creeping in the dark. If Lin Xun hadn’t coincidentally activated his spirit sense power to investigate the hole, he wouldn’t have noticed the shadow at all.

A master?

Not necessarily. But the shadow is particularly amazing in terms of stealth skills.

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips curved in an almost imperceptible smile as he quietly drew the No-Nonsense bow in his hand. The blood-red bowstring glowed a fiendish hue in the dark environment.

The bow body made up of a number of skulls emitted a cryptic gray light that completely enveloped Lin Xun’s body. Then, it began to distort and blur.

Swoosh—

A gray illusionary arrow shot out, streaked silently through the air and penetrated the closed cellar door.

Pu!

A muffled noise sounded outside the door.

Lin Xun put away the No-Nonsense Bow and darted outside.

The torrential rain continued to pour down in buckets outside, battering a dead body on the ground. It was an incomparably thin man with a bloody hole in his chest.

Lin Xun crouched down and examined the wound. He found that the body’s life force had long been severed and a layer of gray was beginning to develop around the flesh and blood like a withering tree.

“Such terrifying power! The bow doesn’t need any arrows, but it can still produce such a tyrannical power. It really is amazing.”

Lin Xun gained a deeper understanding of the power of the No-Nonsense Bow.

After a thought, Lin Xun charged into the rain

It was his turn to hunt!

……

The torrential rain lasted particularly long that night. Moreover, it was accompanied by rolling thunder and flashing lightning. The entire Haze City was enveloped in an austere and gloomy atmosphere.

A dozen cultivators were running along the street when a blade suddenly flashed out from the eaves and tore apart the darkness like a swift bolt of lightning.

A battle immediately broke out, but it soon ended in around ten breaths. Corpses were strewn across the ground, and everyone’s expression was a combination of shock, panic and confusion.

Similar situations continued to happen in different areas of Haze City. Each one was bloody, cold and chilling.

An hour later.

At a battle scene that just ended, corpses were scattered in disarray and blood gathered to form puddles on the ground, thick and scarlet red. Even the downpour couldn’t wash them away.

Before long, several cultivators rushed over. But when they saw the bloody scene, their expressions changed uncontrollably and they couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

“Something’s wrong!” someone said gravely.

Before his reminder, the other people had already taken on a ghastly expression. They had already encountered a similar situation five or six times on their way, and every battle scene was bloody and cruel. Not a single person was left alive.

Moreover, they hadn’t detected a trace of the enemy. It was too terrifying!

Almost three hours had passed since the operation started. They were set off to deal with a youngster at the Human Dipper Stage and they had dispatched so many people, so logically speaking, it shouldn’t take them that long to complete the mission.

However, three hours had passed yet not only was their opponent still alive, but people were also constantly dying on their side.

The remaining cultivators realized the seriousness of their problem.

It was very bad!

Their opponent’s strength had completely exceeded their predictions. It was too unbelievable!

“Could Lin Xun have invited experts to help? Otherwise, how can he achieve this with his Human Dipper cultivation base?” asked someone in a trembling voice. A wave of fear flooded him as he recalled the terrifying scenes that night.

The others had the same suspicion as him.

“We can’t continue like this. We have to report this matter to Young Master Qi Tianxing as soon as possible!”

“Yes, Lin Xun is too terrifying. We can’t fight against him. We must tell the top major forces to dispatch their top experts.”

The cultivators were so frightened that their fighting spirit was on the verge of collapsing. They didn’t dare to act recklessly and came to the decision to first retreat and seek reinforcement.

Chi!

But just when they were about to leave, a clear and resounding blade cry echoed through the night like the death knell from hell.

Instantly, the cultivators’ expressions dramatically changed, and their souls almost left their bodies.

……

Tide View Pavilion.

In a brightly lit hall, there was a long clamor of discussion. The representatives from each major force wore anxious expressions and couldn’t sit still like ants on a hot pan.

Three full hours had passed since the operation began, but they still hadn’t received any good news.

Many people had a bad feeling in their hearts.

“Damn it! A bunch of trash! They just need to kill a kid at the Human Dipper Stage, but they still haven\'t succeeded. Are they not trash?”

Someone fumed, “Three full hours! More than one hundred cultivators have been dispatched but there is still no news at all. This is…this is just ridiculous.”

The representatives from other major forces were also impatient and restless.

“Young Master Qi, didn’t your Jadelight Pavilion send out two Earth Dipper cultivators for the operation? Why hasn’t there been any news yet?”

Suddenly, someone looked at Qi Tianxing.

Everyone’s attention shifted to him.

Qi Tianxing’s face was overcast, and he no longer had the calmness and composure he had before. He was equally anxious. He said irritably, “How should I know?”

“I remember that Remnant Wind, the abnormal assassin, also participated in the operation. He still hadn’t shown up. Could something unexpected have happened?” someone suddenly mentioned Remnant Wind.

Qi Tianxing’s expression turned even worse and he gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, you didn’t come to laugh at my Jadelight Pavilion, right?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Qi Tianxing said sternly, “If that’s the case then shut up! You guys are getting impatient but am I not the same?”

It immediately fell silent and many people didn’t dare to say anything in case they angered Qi Tianxing.

However, the anxiousness and restlessness in their hearts intensified.

Bang!

At that moment, the door was pushed open and a strong figure marched in. It was Chang Henshui. But his expression was grave and his brows were scrunched together in worry

“Young Master, the situation has changed tonight. I’m afraid the operation has failed,” he said in a deep voice as he walked in.

His few words caused an uproar. Even though they had already guessed that the operation might not be successful, they still found it hard to believe when Chang Henshui confirmed it in front of them.

“How is that possible!?”

“How can a dozen major forces not defeat a kid at the Human Dipper Stage?”

“Nonsense! They’re all trash!”

Torrential uproar and commotion broke out in the hall.

Qi Tianxing was livid with anger. He slammed the table and roared, “Tell them to shut up!”

Immediately, he looked at Chang Henshui and said, “Tell me, what’s going on? If you dare to exaggerate, you will be the first to die!”

A wave of fury surged into Chang Henshui’s heart. He had come to report the news with good intention but he received verbal abuse from Qi Tianxing.

However, he had to suppress his anger and explain politely to Qi Tianxing in order to continue his cultivation at Jadelight Pavilion. “From what I know, Lu Zhong and Remnant Wind are both dead, and more than half of the one hundred and seventy three cultivators dispatched tonight have been killed…”

Before he finished, a wild uproar broke out like the hall had just exploded. They yelled, screamed, and kicked up a racket.

But Qi Tianxing couldn’t care about them. When he heard the news, he trembled and was frozen to the spot like he had fallen into an ice cave.
