Chapter 687: Greedy search



If Lin Xun allowed such a person to remain on the Blood Kill Battlefield, then it could bring unpredictable dangers to the empire campground.

The shadow man was a born assassin!

Lin Xun was determined to go all out. Even if he knew that the exhaustion of strength on the Blood Kill Battlefield could put him in a detrimental situation, he didn’t hesitate.

Bang!

Another aeth arrow shot out from him like a divine rainbow from beyond the sky locking on a soul. It looked ethereal and unfathomable as it instantly exploded half of the opponent’s body, blood spurting everywhere.

The gray shadow man screamed, everything darkening before him. He almost lost consciousness.

Ever since he started cultivating, he had never been hunted down in such a way, nor suffered such a distressing and dangerous situation.

He trembled with anger and fear, almost going berserk. Only then did he realize the terror of the so-called absolute apex path.

He was about to touch upon that realm, so he underestimated the power of Lin Xun.

Shua!

Lin Xun’s figure flashed as he frantically charged forward at full speed. His opponent was about to collapse, unable to hold on any longer. It was the best time to act and kill him once and for all.

However, Lin Xun halted halfway, peering suspiciously into the distance.

“Damn it!”

He couldn’t help but curse out loud. Then, without further hesitation, he retreated and fled in the opposite direction at a speed that was triple to what it was before!

Boom!

Just as Lin Xun left, a wave of an incredibly terrifying aura descended upon the area, as if a ruler had arrived. The world paled, and a fierce gust of wind swept the area.

“Young Lord!” Following the astonished cry, a dark and slender old man surrounded in billowing dark qi appeared.

When he saw the tragically exploded body of the gray shadow man, his face turned livid and his eyes shot forth frightening beams of light.

“Young Master, please endure a little longer. I’m going to kill that bastard first!”

Instantly, he located Lin Xun, who had fled far away, with his terrifying spirit-sensing powers.

The gray shadow man roared just as the old man was ready to get revenge, “Don’t go!”

“Young Lord, we will miss the opportunity!” the old man cried anxiously.

The gray shadow man roared again, his face deathly pale, “I told you, don’t go!”

He opened his mouth to swallow a pill and his body was again surging with blood and qi. Within the blink of an eye, his mangled body was restored.

But his face was still pale to the point of transparent and his breathing was incredibly weak as though he would die at any time.

“That kid is my prey! No one is allowed to touch him except me!” he said through gritted teeth, eyes glinting malevolently.

He felt the greatest shame and humiliation today. He was still seething from the loss.

More importantly, it was the first time he witnessed the legendary strongest supreme path ever since he started cultivating. It dawned on him that, if he wanted to step onto that path, the most effective and quickest way was to kill the human teenager!

That was the reason he stopped the old man.

“Young Master, who was it that was able to wound you just now?”

The old man knew that they had missed the best opportunity to kill the enemy, but he was still very surprised and puzzled by the fact that someone on the Blood Kill Battlefield could defeat his young lord.

It was too unbelievable!

He knew what impressive talent and power his young lord had as the prince of the Darkness Tribe. He was worthy of being called the strongest of the darkness brute younger generation.

Even the Darkness Brute King had once said that the young lord would have a great role to play when the battle of the great age came!

But now, the young lord had lost. In fact, he had lost in such a tragic way that he was in danger of dying. How could the old man not be shocked?

If the matter spread back to the Darkness Tribe, it would no doubt cause an earthquake within the tribe!

Even the other eight tribes would be shocked to learn about it!

The Darkness Tribe was the most detached and mysterious among the nine brute tribes, but their talented prince had almost been killed. How would they not be shocked?

The old man broke out in cold sweat at the thought of the consequences if he had come any later. His face twisted with anger, hating the fact that he couldn’t immediately kill the enemy.

“You know that the purpose of my training in the Blood Kill Battlefield in the past few years is nothing more than to embark on the true supreme path.” The gray shadow man inhaled deeply. “And today…I saw it! I have experienced the power of the supreme path. The power is more amazing than I thought. He is invincible, like the king of his cultivation stage.”

As he reached the end of his sentence, his eyes sparkled. “Only by killing him would I have the opportunity to reach the pinnacle!”

His opponent was an absolute apex king of the Heaven Ascension Stage in the human race!

The old man inwardly gasped, shocked. He had never heard of such a strong human cultivator in the empire.

Why did someone like him suddenly appear today?

Suddenly, a strong gush of regret rose in the old man’s heart. If he had known about the teenager’s strength earlier, then he would have taken immediate action and killed him!

If they allowed someone like him to rise, then he would no doubt bring great trouble to the Magi Brute Race!

“Man Jiu, I need you to do something.”

The gray shadow man suddenly said aloud, “Go and help me collect information about him. The more detailed the better. I need to know everything about him!”

The old man called Man Jiu asked, “Young Lord, what does he look like? How old is he? Does he have any specific characteristics?”

The gray shadow man thought for a moment before he described Lin Xun’s appearance in detail and remarked, “It should be easy to find him because he is no more than twenty years old! He is still a teenager! And I believe he has just arrived at the Blood Kill Battlefield.”

A teenager!

A teenager has set foot onto the supreme path of the Heaven Ascension Stage?

Man Jiu’s heart trembled for a moment, and his face paled a little. A young boy who has stepped into the realm of the king has to be terrifyingly strong!

The gray shadow man warned, staring at Man Jiu with unquestionable authority, “Remember, you are only in charge of gathering information. If you dare to do anything to him and ruin my plan, I won’t forgive you!”

He knew well about Man Jiu’s ability. He was halfway into the realm of the Brute King and could be considered a quasi-king. If he had taken action, then he would be able to kill the teenager.

But he didn’t want that!

“I understand.” Man Jiu bowed and obeyed the order even if he disagreed.

The gray shadow man had to have a distinguished status within the Darkness Tribe for a quasi-king to obey him.

“The opportunity is here...this time, I must seize it!” murmured the gray shadow man, eyes flashing a resolute glint.

……

Hundreds of miles away.

Lin Xun’s face was overcast, and his heart was filled with strong bitterness. He only wanted to curse.

He was only one step away from killing the gray shadow man, but a terrifying figure appeared and ruined his chance.

“That terrifying aura was only slightly weaker than that of a true Life Death Stage King. Such a person likely has already stepped one foot into the King Stage…” Lin Xun narrowed his eyes vigilantly. The fact that Life Death Stage Kings existed on the Blood Kill Battlefield made it even more dangerous.

However, Lin Xun also knew that people of that level wouldn’t be dispatched so easily. Even if they were dispatched, then they would only target and deal with people of the same level as them.

“It’s getting dark…” Lin Xun didn’t dare to think too much and quickly sped towards a place where the sun had set.

When night fell, the Blood Kill Battlefield would be hundreds of times more terrifying than in the daytime, with many unpredictable killings and dangers lurking in every corner. Both the enemy army and the cultivators of the empire would rarely take action at night.

Zhao Tailai had also repeatedly reminded him of that.

Swoosh!

Lin Xun sped onwards like a flash of light. From time to time, crackling and booming noises sounded from his hands. It was the sound of high-grade aeth crystals being shattered and absorbed.

The fierce battle had consumed huge amounts of his strength, so he had to quickly restore it.

That moment showed the harsh environment of the Blood Kill Battlefield. Aeth power didn’t exist so one’s energy had to be replenished with aeth crystals and elixirs.

Lin Xun possessed an unparalleled cultivation base, which provided him with tremendous energy to fight for long periods, but at the same time, he also had to consume huge amounts of high-grade crystals to restore his strength.

Lin Xun estimated that the batch of high-grade aeth crystals he brought with him would only be enough to last him seven days at most. If he encountered another fierce battle, then he would use up even more crystals.

The only thing that reassured him was that he could exchange military merits for supplies from the empire campground.

Among them were aeth crystals and medicinal pills.

Along the way, the traces of enemies he encountered gradually lessened, suggesting that the empire campground wasn’t far away.

Even so, he still went through a dozen battles on the way, but they were all against spies or outpost troops of the Magi Brute Race. He didn’t encounter another powerful character, and so he easily forged his way through and unexpectedly gained a lot of spoils.

Night finally fell, and an oppressive silence suddenly filled the space between heaven and earth.

The wind stilled, and the smell of rotting corpses and blood in the air seemed to have frozen. The air was terrifyingly palpable, sending a chill down the spine.

Lin Xun suddenly spun around. With his powerful spirit sensing power, he noticed many undetectable horrors in the vast barren world.

“As expected, the Blood Kill Battlefield is the most dangerous in the dark of the night…” Lin Xun also shivered. Without further hesitation, he continued onwards in large strides.

Ahead was a thousand-foot-tall watchtower. The lights were still lit on it, looking particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Further ahead he saw rows of lights coiling around the mountaintop like fire dragons, lighting up the night sky.

A violet glory flower flag was waving on the watchtower, illuminated by the bright lights. Every flower seemed to be soaked in blood, blooming in the night.

It was the empire campground!

It was the strongest line of defense of the empire and was made up of many elite troops and cultivators of the empire.

They were stationed there to defend the empire\'s territory. They fought and lived there forever.

When he saw the lights, the flag, and the group of buildings glowing like fire dragons, he thought of that sentence again——

“Violet Glory Flower is undefeated because of blood kill and the empire exists forever because of continued expeditions!”

……

“Who are you?!”

A roar rang from the watchtower thousands of feet away while a beam of light shined on Lin Xun’s figure.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately found that guards were densely distributed around the watchtower. They were all in tough armor and emitted strong and fierce auras.

A guard poked his head out of the watchtower and asked loudly, “Huh, it’s a kid? Who brought you here? Where’s your lord? Why did you arrive at the campground after dark?”

But soon, his eyes were drawn to the huge loaded luggage on Lin Xun’s back.

“Boss, that bag seems to be full of...” someone whispered.

“Heavens, I smell the blood of the Magi Brute Race. I can even tell that there are the teeth of Gold Tribe bastards, the chests of Fire Tribe bastards and the arms of Earth Tribe bastards!”

Whispering broke out from the watchtower.

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun sensed gazes scanning over him without any restraint. In particular, their eyes glinted with greed when they noticed the luggage on his back.

The commander of the guards stated aloud, “Little guy, put down your bag. We need to inspect it first, otherwise, we can’t let you into the campground.”

A cold light flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes, and an imperceptible murderous intent crossed his face.

The empire army campground was said to be well-defended and impenetrable, but the soldiers should only be wary of Magi Brute experts and not cultivators from the empire like him.

Lin Xun also had never heard that his personal belongings needed to be inspected when entering the campground.

The commander and the nearby guards were clearly making things difficult for him on purpose. Moreover, the glint of greed in their eyes suggested that they had bad intentions.

Lin Xun had fought many battles ever since he entered the Blood Kill Battlefield. He thought he could take a good rest when he arrived at the campground and never expected to face such a situation.

His mood suddenly turned bad.

He wasn’t afraid of killing the enemies, but he disliked being involved in conflict with cultivators of the same campground.

He stood there motionlessly, which irritated the guard commander.

He’s a teenager and he’s alone, yet he dared to disobey my order.

His face darkened and he spat out, “Little guy, why are you not obeying the order? What are you planning? Night has already descended and you are the only one who arrived late. This is very unusual.”

As he was speaking, he signaled with a wave of his hand, “Someone, go and bring him here. I suspect that the kid is a spy sent by the Magi Brute Race. We must check carefully before letting him through!”
