YM778.TV Chapter 704: Ultima Saint Weapon
I’m in trouble!
Lin Xun inwardly cursed.
He was using Suanni Qi to conceal his presence. Although he would not be discovered by the enemies, any movement he made would immediately reveal his presence.
Huu~
After briefly contemplating, Lin Xun gritted his teeth and decided to stay and act according to how things developed.
Meanwhile, he took out a high-grade aeth crystal and began to absorb it to replenish the energy he had used in the earlier fight.
……
In Tiger Canyon, after the initial shock and anger, the atmosphere became stiflingly silent.
The Half-Step King elder called Man Jiu was currently discussing their next move with Feng Kun, Jin Wu, and the other Enlightened Spirit experts.
One of the Enlightened Spirit experts angrily cursed, “That blasted little human shit. Who could have anticipated that he would return and attack us? What a ballsy dog!”
The others also had incomparably ugly expressions. They had already discovered that the mysterious arrow in the cave had disappeared, and it was obviously the work of that human youngster!
“Abominable! Since when has our Brute race suffered such a huge disgrace in Blood Kill Battlefield? Even She Zhen, Yan Chixing, and Yin Beigu were killed. If word of this spreads, it will cause great turmoil!”
“The most pressing matter, for now, is to capture that little shit!”
“Right, he only has Heaven Ascension cultivation, but that terrifying white bone bow of his has caused us to suffer heavy losses. Worst of all, he stole the supreme treasure!”
“According to one of the old monsters from the Ancient Brute Tribe, that divine arrow is very likely an Ultima Saint Weapon left by a Saint-King from the ancient era! Its terrifying power can kill even an almighty Brute King expert. If it falls into the hands of the human empire cultivators, it will be an absolute disaster for us!”
The Brute experts spoke out one after another. They hated Lin Xun and were frustrated and angered to the max, making them unable to tolerate his continued existence.
Man Jiu, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly asked, “What does that youngster look like?”
“He’s a teenager with Heaven Ascension Cultivation, and looks…” Jin Wu described Lin Xun’s appearance.
“It’s him!” Chilling light shot from Man Jiu’s eyes.
The others looked at each other in surprise and confusion. “Does Elder Man Jiu know him?”
Man Jiu was a Half-Step Brute King of the Darkness Brute Tribe. He possessed frightening strength that was second only to a true Brute King!
It was unexpected that someone like him would know a human youngster.
After a long silence, Man Jiu finally divulged the truth, “Yesterday, he nearly killed the Young Master of my tribe. My Young Master has judged that he…has likely attained the legendary supreme path.”
What!?
Everyone gasped.
The supreme path! It was known as the ultimate apex even in the ancient era, and those who attained it would be like a king who could crush everyone else at the same cultivation stage!
There were far too many unbelievable and incredible tales about this path.
No one could have imagined that such a heaven-defying monster would be born in the Ziyao Empire!
Something like this had never happened before in the past.
It must be known that the experts present had already been shocked speechless when they heard the Darkness Tribe Young Master had nearly been killed by Lin Xun.
The Darkness Tribe Young Master was called Ying Qiao and was known as an overlord-like existence among the Brute Tribes\' younger generation. Many bigwigs from the nine tribes highly regarded him and believed that he had high hopes to become a Brute Emperor once he managed to attain the supreme path!
However, such a dazzling person had nearly been killed by the human youngster. How could anyone not feel astonished by this?
“Reporting!”
While the experts were in shock, a scout arrived to report. “We’ve searched the area within a hundred-mile radius, but have found no traces of the enemy. Even traces of his presence can’t be found.”
The Brute scouts mostly consisted of Darkness Brute Tribe members. They were natural-born assassins and specialized in chasing and searching.
Despite this, even these Darkness Brute scouts had failed to find any traces of the human youngster. This made everyone’s expressions grow increasingly ugly.
“It’s impossible for someone to disappear for no reason!” Man Jiu frowned.
“He must have used some kind of secret art to conceal his presence, or has already escaped, or…is still hiding somewhere nearby!”
He spoke without any hesitation. Moreover, as a Half-Step King of the Darkness Brute Tribe, his words were undoubtedly very convincing.
Man Jiu commanded, “Search! Find him even if you have to overturn every rock and pebble in Tiger Canyon!”
“Elder, you believe that he still hasn’t escaped and is instead hiding nearby?”
The others realized that the elder might be onto something.
“I’ve inspected the traces of battle here and have concluded that based on the time, it is impossible for him to have escaped. Moreover, since he didn’t leave any traces within a hundred-mile radius, he must be hiding nearby!”
Icy light swirled in Man Jiu’s eyes. He appeared to be extremely confident.
Everyone immediately grew excited as unconcealable killing intent and hatred flowed out on their faces. Today had been infuriating for them.
A human youngster had humiliated them by making them suffer heavy losses and stealing the treasure they had been aiming for. How could they possibly take this lying down?
“Search!”
“Flatten that mountain!”
“That mine over there as well, destroy it!”
Commands rang out across the area as squad after squad of Brute elites swarmed into action. They proceeded with extreme violence as if intending to dig the entire place up.
Lin Xun, who had been observing everything, frowned, realizing that it would no longer be possible to hide.
“You guys, search that area!”
One of the Brute experts ordered as he led a group of guards over. However, before they could begin, blade starlight suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Plop plop plop!
Seven or eight bloody heads were thrown into the air.
A Brute expert in the distance saw everything that had happened. His eyes immediately bulged in anger as he shrieked, “Here! The enemy is hiding here!”
In an instant, shouts rang out all around as the Enlightened Spirit experts murderously rushed over.
“It’s indeed that little shit!”
“Hahaha, I’m going to personally crush him this time!”
They saw Lin Xun flying away at full speed like prey that had been discovered by the hunter, causing them to shake with excitement.
“Chase!”
“Stop him!”
Brute elites swarmed over from every direction like a giant net closing in on Lin Xun to trap him.
Swish!
Lin Xun pushed the Hornless Ice Dragon Step to the limit, causing his aura to instantly jump to a new peak. He seemed to transform into a streak of illusory light as he became inconceivably quick.
Every foe in his path was instantly sliced to ribbons by the Broken Blade as if they were paper.
It was as if he had become a cone that was drilling a bloody path through the enemy forces at full speed.
Flee!
Lin Xun had abandoned even the three full bags of battle spoils as he frantically fled.
He had no choice. There wasn’t just a large group of Enlightened Spirit experts, but also a far more terrifying Half-Step King existence!
No matter how confident Lin Xun was in his strength, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could fight a Half-Step King expert.
“How laughable. I only let you escape previously because my Young Master instructed me not to pursue you. If I let you escape again today, I will be too ashamed to call myself a member of the Darkness Brute Tribe!”
As his cold and stern voice sounded, Man Jiu seemed to transform into dark clouds that oppressively rumbled through the air as he headed straight for Lin Xun.
So fast!
Man Jiu wasn’t just a Half-Step King; he was also a Darkness Tribe member who possessed unrivaled speed and assassination ability.
The moment he moved, Lin Xun felt as if a target had been placed on his back, causing his hair to stand on end as an unprecedented feeling of danger enveloped him.
Beng!
Lin Xun instinctively switched out his blade for the bow and fired an arrow without even looking back.
“Oh?”
Man Jiu’s pupils abruptly shrank. He had been caught off guard and was nearly shot in the throat! The arrow had cut the skin on his neck, leaving a short string of blood in the air.
“No wonder he could kill Shi Zhen, Yan Chixing, and the others. That bow is incredible!” Man Jiu’s expression remained indifferent as his killing intent intensified.
He was a Half-Step King!
Despite this, he had almost been killed by a human youngster while off guard. This angered him while also lighting a desire within him to obtain the bow.
The Dark Brutes were natural-born assassins. If he possessed such a bow, Man Jiu was confident that he could threaten even true Brute Kings!
“The bow must be mine!”
Man Jiu’s eyes locked onto Lin Xun. He took a deep breath and decided to use his trump card to swiftly suppress Lin Xun and prevent potential complications.
Rumble!
Black mist-like flames rose around him, shooting straight into the sky. He seemed to transform into a demon as a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the area within a hundred miles like a storm.
A wisp of ash-gray flame jumped at his fingertips. Although it seemed weak, it gave off an extremely dangerous aura of destruction.
It was like the flames of hell. A single wisp could incinerate mountains and rivers!
Before Man Jiu could attack, however, he suddenly stiffened as his heart produced an unrestrainable palpitation.
This…
Man Jiu immediately saw Lin Xun suddenly come to stop, turn around, and pull back the white bone bow.
Unlike before, there was a simple black arrow between his fingertips, its blood-red tip aimed at Man Jiu.
Man Jiu’s scalp immediately turned numb. He felt as if the god of death was looking straight at him, causing his spirit to tremble uncontrollably in fear.
Was this the Ultima Saint Weapon that the little shit had stolen?
