《Battling Records of the Chosen One》C213. Gray Pupils
Advertisement
The dazzling saber light suddenly appeared like a star.
Residual Wind promptly changed his look. As he uttered a shrill cry, he dodged aside like lightning.
However, the saber light was faster than him. Puff! His left arm was cut off with his blood gushing out.
"Damn it!"
Residual Wind screamed in pain, and his pale face became almost transparent.
Boom~
In the meantime, Lin Xun rushed out of the earth and launched another attack without hesitation.
He couldn't more hate the assassin who had ambushed him three times. Thus, he gave the most powerful strike- RFS (Reaching for the Stars)!
Buzz~~
When the saber roar like sounds of nature arose, a majestic momentum of destroying everything rushed at Residual Wind who seemed to see stars fell in the eternal night.
As Lin Xun reached the Human-gang Realm, the power of RFS became over twice powerful as before, which was a great change.
In that case, Lu Zhong was injured severely and on the verge of death as an Earth-gang practitioner.
Lin Xun performed his move with the horrific momentum again at the moment. Under the influence of it, Residual Wind felt like being a night sky where he was drowned by numberless stars falling.
When Residual Wind screamed again, he turned into a vague gray figure and was about to escape.
How could he escape from it?
The power generated by the strike enveloped him in a blink of an eye as if he were swept over by the powerful waves as a canoe in the ocean.
Bang! Like a broken sandbag, Residual Wind was blown away and hit the ground hard over 30 meters away, coughing blood consecutively and screaming in pain.
"Who...Who the hell are you?"
Residual Wind couldn't help but cry in terror upon seeing Lin Xun attack him again. He struggled to rise to his feet, but his left arm had already been cut off, and he was heavily wounded by RFS. Consequentially, he was on the verge of a total breakdown.
A faintly discernible sneer appeared on Lin's lips. Lin Xun squatted down, carefully looked Residual Wind up and down, and asked with surprise, "It really surprises me that you're so good at assassination but only in the realm of Human-gang."
"It's also true of you. You've killed Lu Zhong in the Earth-gang Realm as a Human-gang-realm practitioner. Few teenagers of the same realm can do that."
Residual Wind gasped for breath with his eyes full of hatred, terror, and unwillingness.
"I'm not praising you. I'm just wondering how you achieved the attainments in the archery," said Lin Xun thoughtfully.
He was really curious. According to his speculation, Residual Wind was an ordinary practitioner. If they fought against each other face to face, he would easily defeat Residual Wind even without the use of RFS.

To his surprise, Residual Wind mastered such a kind of powerful archery, which could be proven by the three assassinations tonight. If Residual Wind tried to assassinate some Earth-gang-realm practitioners like Lu Zhong, he would definitely make it.
The moment Lin Xun said those, a hint of panic flashed past Residual Wind's eyes. Residual Wind said loudly, "Save your nonsense. Just kill me. But I warn you my elder sister is working for a big shot of the Forbidden City. If she knows my death, you'll die soon!"
Lin Xun sneered, didn't talk nonsense again, and pierced through Residual Wind's neck with the sharp saber.
Residual Wind opened his eyes wide with his face full shock as if he didn't believe Lin Xun dared to kill him...
Bang! He eventually lay down on the ground dead immediately.
"You dare to threaten me before dying. I seem gutless if I let you live..."
When Lin Xun was about to leave after he extracted his saber, he suddenly thought of something. He frisked Residual Wind's body and wanted to find out what a kind of longbow was used by Residual Wind who was skilled at assassination.
Surprisingly, he found nothing after searching Residual Wind for a while. Even a copper coin couldn't be found, let alone the longbow and arrows.
How could it be?
Lin Xun frowned and casually glanced at Residual Wind's pupils. He then immediately found that Residual Wind's left eye glowing with a weird gray luster was different from the right eye.
Lin Xun dug out the left eyeball with his saber. When the rainwater washed away the blood on it, he clearly saw that it was not an eyeball but a bead glowing with the gray luster in the size of a pigeon's egg.
The bead was very light. Held in his hand, it was as weightless as a ball of cotton. If you looked carefully, you would find that beneath the gray surface of it surged a faintly ferocious breath.
The moment he looked at the gray bead, he felt shocked and a trace of unspeakable chill spread over his body. It felt like that an ancient devil hidden in the bead was staring into his soul.
"The noise just now is over there!"
The shouts in the distance awoke Lin Xun all of a sudden. He placed the bead into the Small Sumeru Ring without much time to figure out.
A hint of coldness flashed across Lin's eyes when he looked at the bodies of Residual Wind and Lu Zhong on the ground. He picked up the bodies like lightning, flew toward the distance, and disappeared in the stormy evening.
Whoosh~
A bunch of practitioners arrived there soon.
"Apparently, there was a fierce fight just now, so the target must be around!" said one practitioner in excitement when he looked at the blood and the ruined house on the street.

"Chase!"
All the other practitioners itching for a fight rushed toward the distance.
Only a man clad in a dark green long robe didn't follow them. He stood there in silence and carefully checked the battle scene.
The heavy rain poured down. But before it got close to him, it was blown away by an invisible force. Thus, his clothes were clean and dry, distinguishing him ordinary practitioners.
The man was Chang Henshui, an Earth-gang-realm follower of Azure-light Pavilion. He even had a higher position than Lu Zhong in Azure-light Pavilion.
As time went by, Chang Henshui wrinkled his eyebrows gradually and became graver and graver. If he guessed correctly based on the many unbelievable clues on the scene, Lu Zhong was probably dead.
It was that dreadful!
As a practitioner in the Earth-gang Realm, Lu Zhong had served in the army and undergone hundreds of battles. He was so seasoned and vigilant that Chang Henshui considered Lu the only match for himself among all the followers of Azure-light Pavilion.
However, such a strong practitioner probably ended up being killed by a teenager of the realm of Human-gang, which was somewhat appalling.
Besides, Chang Henshui noticed the left traces of another assassin on the scene. They were everywhere so that he could be impossible to neglect them.
Chang Henshui felt appalled and doubtful after he analyzed the trajectories of those arrows. That assassin was undoubtedly skilled in the assassination, but it seemed that he...he didn't make it eventually!
"Lin Xun... Lin Xun..."
Chang Henshui reiterated the name in his heart. As if the name played its magic, he felt stressed out because of the operation tonight for the first time.
Such kind of stress was dangerous and haunted him. He even doubted if he should go on the pursuit of Lin Xun.
He sighed in his heart and decided to go on eventually.
Although he was a follower enjoying a higher position in Azure-light Pavilion, he knew clearly that he was nothing but a usable lackey cultivated by the pavilion.
If a lackey chickened out before a battle, he would be definitely either abandoned or killed by his master!
That was why the practitioners of poor origin were miserable. No matter how high your cultivation was, you had to be affiliated with the noble forces. Otherwise, you would never have your day.
As a middle-aged man experiencing many things, he clearly understood the reality that the entire empire was a cage controlled by the imperial family and the upper class. If he wanted to live within the cage, he had to be a good caged bird and do what he was told!
He occasionally had great admiration for Lin Xun, the target of tonight's operation. At least, the young man of poor origin had the courage to stand out to fight back the noble forces and didn't surrender himself to fate.
"I must go on chasing Lin Xun, of course, but everyone makes mistakes. Even if they know I failed the task, they shouldn't blame me..."
Chang Henshui strode forward. He was in motion, but no one actually knew that he had already given up the assassination.
...
Bang!
The gate of a magnificent palace was jerked open hard.
"Fei, our chance finally comes!"
Yao Susu rushed inside with excitement on her face.
"What chance?" asked in surprise Lian Fei as his eyes opened abruptly.
He immersed himself in cultivation one second ago.
"The conditions are way better than we expected. More than a dozen forces in Mist City have launched the assassination of Lin Xun as early as 30 minutes ago!"
Speaking of which, Yao Susu, who had been high-spirited, subconsciously sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that our clan enjoys little influence in Mist City. I got the news late. Otherwise, we can make a plan in advance."
"More than a dozen forces work together to kill Lin Xun?"
Lian Fei's eyes instantly brightened. He stood up right away, and said, "Tingyu Tower can save its resources, but Lin Xun will be killed absolutely! Let's go and have a look!"
"No!"
Yao Susu stopped him and said, "As I said before, the noble won't put themselves into danger. Though a dozen forces work together to assassinate Lin Xun, most of the practitioners joining the operation tonight are those affiliated with them, namely the followers. The lineal practitioners of those forces stay put, and you clearly know the reason. In their eyes, Lin Xun doesn't deserve the lineal practitioners of them to make a move in person."
Lian Fei frowned and said with agitation, "The way the noble used to deal with things is so troublesome."
Yao Susu said with a smile, "That's why they can survive till now. Why do they bother to make their hands dirty if they can make the others work for them? If something bad happens, the dead man won't be one of them. So why not?"
Lian Fei was a little impatient, "Susu, just tell me what we should do."
Yao Susu took a deep breath and then said with her bright eyes, "Very simple. Ask Tingyu Tower to send the assassins out. They said they wouldn't make a move until they got 10,000 imperial gold coins. As long as they make sure they could kill Lin Xun, it's okay we give the money to them!"
Insignificance Longbow on Flying Lines.
