It was too late for Residual Snow to dodge. At this critical time, he chose to protect his head and chest with arms crossed.

Bang!

Just after he had finished his defense, a silent spiritual arrow pierced his left arm and broke a hole in his chest.

Blood gushed out right away. Residual Snow uttered a muffled humph and he staggered down to the ground. A sharp pain swept all over his body. He almost fainted.

Residual Snow gasped heavily. He noticed that the arrow was about 3 centimeters away from his heart. He could not help but sweat with fear.

If he didn't protect heart with left arm...

Residual Snow was pale, shivering all over because of the severe pain. He dared not to think too much. He swallowed several kinds of medicine quickly and controlled his wounds. Only then did he take a breath of relief and struggle to get up.

Fortunately, his opponent did not fire another arrow, otherwise he would surely die at this moment.

But when Residual Snow searched around, he found Lin had taken the opportunity to escape.

Residual Snow stood alone in the rainstorm, with mixed feeling of anger and luck.

This was the first time he failed the mission in so many years.

Even worse, he was defeated by a Human-gang-realm teenager who had been already seriously injured!

However, Residual Snow didn’t have a strong sense of shame because he knew that he was lucky to keep alive this time.

“Lin Xun... I remember you...”

Residual Snow muttered for a while and turned away with pain.

He did not know what the little spherical monster was and how could it swallow his strongest arrow.

...

Whoosh ~ ~

While the rainstorm poured down, Lin Xun was running helter-skelter in the rain. In his arms, Chirps kept chirping happily.

Lin Xun produced a bitter smile. He could hardly stand the pain, while the little Chirps still cried happily. Chirps seemed lighthearted.

Lin Xun really couldn't stand the pain any longer.

The arrow just fired had almost emptied the strength left in his body, and now he could only run instinctively.

In another word, if Lin had enough strength, how could he leave Residual Snow alive?

“If I get the change, I’ll have a good fight with Residual Snow again in the future!"

Lin Xun remembered what happened tonight. He felt helpless since he had chosen to fight alone tonight.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was satisfied with the battle effects tonight. At least, the practitioners dispatched by dozens of forces had lost their lives but he was still alive in the end. The result was quite good.

Suddenly, a burst of applause sounded, which seemed so harsh on this rainy night.

"Hey, it's really amazing. A trainee graduating from the Bloodthirsty Camp really has the fighting power against a thousand people alone."

With the rough laughter, Shue Jin appeared with a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

From the beginning of tonight's battle to the end, all Lin’s performances were completely observed by Shue Jin.

To be honest, Lin Xun's fighting power and tough fighting style completely exceeded Shue Jin’s expectation.

He thought that Lin Xun might hold on to half of the battle, but the result showed that Lin Xun could solve these problems without his help.

Of course, the premise was Lin didn’t encounter Yao Tuohai or other strong people of Tao Insight Realm.

Nevertheless, for a Human-gang-realm teenager, it was amazing and rare to be able to do this. Some of the young overmatches Shue Jin had known might be able to suppress Lin in cultivation, but they could hardly win a deadly battle alone like Lin Xun!

Therefore, Shue Jin’s applause and admiration for Lin at this moment presented his rare genuine feeling.

Seeing Shue Jin, Lin Xun relaxed thoroughly so that he immediately felt extremely painful. He was weak and exhausted. He grimaced in pain and cursed, "I thought you would not appear tonight!"

Shue Jin laughed, "I would show up in time when you need me, but I found that you didn't need my help tonight, right?"

Lin Xun rolled his eyes and said, "I've already killed most of them, and the battle seems to be over. I need you to handle the rest work."

After saying this, he fainted as soon as his eyes closed.

Shue Jin was worried and rushed over. He took Lin Xun's body and made a careful check by perception. His face changed totally.

Lin Xun was almost at the edge of exhaustion and the injury on the chest was quite serious. It was hard to imagine how Lin held on to now in this bad physical situation.

As Shue Jin looked at Lin Xun's pale face and determined lips, Shue’s eyes were full of complexity. He sighed softly after a while, "Fine, I just help you once more."

Then he carried Lin Xun away and disappeared in the rainy night.

...

The rain stopped and dense bright stars appeared in the sky, which made Mist City especially bright and quiet.

In a delicate and magnificent courtyard of Azure-light Pavilion, Qi Xiaokong sat and drank cosily. He was fond of drinking alone late at night.

Qi Xiaokong was the leader of Azure-light Pavilion. He was also the head of Qi Clan. He was a high-ranking and prestigious figure in Mist City.

"How are the things going tonight?"

Qi Xiaokong remembered something suddenly and asked.

On one side of the pavilion, an old servant stood respectfully and was in a daze upon this unexpected question. He laughed and said, "Master, don't worry about such trifles. More than ten forces united together, the poor young man must have already been killed."

Qi Xiaokong smiled and said, "It may be a small thing, but it’s quite special in nature. I just hope they don’t leave any evidence and prevent the related news from spreading so that it won’t harm our reputation."

The old servant smiled and echoed, "They know it for sure."

Qi Xiaokong said, "I Hope so.” Then he no long paid attention to this matter. For a big shot in such status, killing a poor practitioner was really a trivial thing.

At this moment, panic footsteps suddenly came from outside of the courtyard. Qi Xiaokong frowned, "Go to see what happened."

The old servant next to him got the order and hurried away. Soon he returned with a black post in his hand.

This post was special as jade. Its dark body was like the pure night and its surface was branded with a delicate pattern of Heiyao flower.

"Master, this is a post just sent by someone, and he indicated that this should be handed to you." The old servant handed the post with a confused face to his master.

Qi Xiaokong glanced at the post inadvertently. But when he saw the pattern of Heiyao flower on the post, his pupils shrank sharply and his whole body stiffened imperceptibly.

He grabbed the post, turned it over and saw a line on it, "What happened tonight is over."

The words were flat with no threat, but Qi Xiaokong stared at this sentence again and again and his originally dignified and graceful face was extremely serious at this time.

This sentence was very simple indeed. However, when it appeared on this black post branded with Heiyao flower, it showed an unquestionable command.

This command reminded Qi Xiaokong of many rumors. His heart was shivering with afraid and his face changed drastically.

The post came from Heiyao Shrine!

Qi Xiaokong never expected that he would receive such a post one day, which made him difficult to calm down.

The old servant standing next to him was somewhat uncertain. He was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Qi Xiaokong's look, and couldn’t help but conjecture in the heart, “Is there anything horrible in this mysterious black post?”

His master was one of the most important persons in Mist City and almost no one dared to disobey him in this city, but at this moment, he seemed to be extremely afraid of this post. It was incredible!

After a while, Qi Xiaokong took a deep breath, slowly put down the dark post in his hand and murmured, "Who told you that boy came from the poor family? Who on earth said that!"

There was a tinge of anger in his voice. Qi Xiaokong put on a long face, which frightened the old servant next to him. The old servant shivered with panic and almost crawled on the ground.

"Dad, tonight's action failed!"

A figure suddenly pushed open the door of courtyard and rushed in. His voice was full of exasperation.

Obviously, it was Qi Yunxiao. He came to the pavilion in quick steps and informed anxiously, "Lin Xun is still alive. We must take new action to kill such a man of humble birth, or he will shame our Azure-light Pavilion in the future!"

Qi Xiaokong raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were shinning terribly. He was like a wild animal which wanted to eat people. He could not help but roar in his heart. Then he suddenly stood up and slapped Qi Yunxiao's face hard. This slap made Qi Yunxiao fly out with blood in mouth and nose.

"Damn you! If Lin Xun dies tonight, you won’t live, either!"

Qi Xiaokong roared.

Qi Yunxiao was completely confused. He looked at his father incredulously and wondered why he was so angry.

The old servant quickly consoled Qi Xiaokong by saying, " Yunxiao is also kept in the dark. If he had known the seriousness of the thing, he would not have been so reckless."

Qi Xiaokong also knew that he should control his temper at this time. He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to hold back his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, you will not be allowed to bully Lin Xun. If I know who dares to do this, I will kill him first!"

Then he turned around and left.

The sudden appearance of Heiyao Post made Qi Xiaokong realized that their so-called Action for Centesimating had completely chosen the wrong target!

Qi Yunxiao held his swollen face with grievance and frustration. Although he did not know the cause of the incident, he had roughly guessed that the reason for the change of his father's attitude must be related to Lin Xun.

Was there anything wrong with this guy?

Qi Yunxiao found for the first time that he seemed to know little about Lin Xun.

Events like this were taking place in more than a dozen forces, including Yuan Family, Zheng Family and Zhou Family, in Mist City.

These forces had all participated in the action against Lin Xun tonight, so they also received a mysterious Heiyao Post tonight.

Every force fell into a panic, and they even held meetings overnight to discuss the matter.

All this was due to a post, which only read, “What happened tonight is over, and keep it secret.”

They were only ordinary words, but magically made dozens of forces fall into an inexplicable panic.

In the end, they reached a consensus that Lin Xun was not a man of humble birth as they had imagined.

A giant group shrouded in the darkness of the Empire behind Lin Xun!

Fear.

Panic.

Anxiety.

Apprehension.

Emotions spread among these forces.

...

When Liu Wujun learned the news, he fell silent for the first time.

After a quite while, he sighed, "These fools treat a teenager who has something to do with the Heiyao Shrine as a man of humble birth. Are their heads kicked by a donkey?!”

Mist College.

Wei Lingzhen was so stunned and then he, with a complicated expression, said, "Brother Dongtuo, I’m afraid it's very difficult for you to recruit Lin Xun into the army then."

Du Dongtu didn’t care about it, and laughed, "I’m quite happy as long as Lin Xun is alive. As those rich forces suffered a big loss this time, I’m sure they will learn a lesson and will not be reckless in the future when they target at the poor practitioners."

Wei Lingzhen said with a look of deep significance, "But you should know that even if Lin Xun was born in a poor family, but with the relationship with Heiyao Shrine, his identity has become different."

Du Dongtu agreed with him and frowned, "While it may not be a good thing to be related with Heiyao Shrine for Lin Xun."

"That's not our business then," Wei Lingzhen said with an easy smile.

...

The Wen Clan.

Wen Mingxiu almost couldn't believe her ears.

Lin Xun did not die under the siege of so many forces!

"Aha, Mingxiu, you did a good job this time. We didn't do anything against Lin. So we avoid a big trouble!"

Wen Changtian, head of the Wen Clan, laughed and praised Wen Mingxiu.

"What happened?"

Wen Mingxiu could not help asking.

Wen Changtian casually told her the news he had just received, and finally sighed, " I really didn't expect it!"

Wen Mingxiu had completely stunned, with a myriad of thoughts crowding into her mind.

She found for the first time that the Bloodthirsty Camp was not the only backer of Lin.

If Lin Xun knew that although he had killed so many enemies tonight, the impact was far less than that of a Heiyao Post, what would he think about it?
