Boom!
The power of Flowing-light Saber burst out like rainbow, leaving countless shocking wounds on enemies’ bodies and making a bloody scene.
In the battlefield, Lin Xun never retreated or changed his direction. He had decided to rush into the forest in the mountains.
He wasn’t afraid of fierce battle, but the situation was totally different at present. It was obvious that the enemy exerted all the strength and planned to kill him completely outside the Yellow Dragon City!
In this case, it was unwise to fight with the enemy directly. He might be invincible in a short time, but he would consume a lot of physical strength in the long-time battle. He could not bear the consequences if the enemy took this opportunity to kill him.
Therefore, Lin Xun made the decision of breaking through the siege first and saving his energy to the greatest extent.
Kill!
The blood splashed like rain and severed bodies spread all over the place.
Huge amounts of corpses lying down as Lin Xun passed through. He looked like a murderer who walked on the corpse mountain now.
Soon, he entered the deep forest and was about to break through the enemy’s encirclement.
However, a thundering roar suddenly came in the sky.
A 300-meter long Ziying Battleship came from the distance like a monster in the void, cutting through clouds and roaring towards here.
Lin Xun’s face changed immediately. There were five Ziying Battleships, which could kill Sea-Spirit-Realm practitioners easily!
Lin Xun let out a long cry and rushed with his full strength!
He didn’t save his energy at this point so his momentum suddenly rose again, which was extremely shocking as fathomless ocean.
This new Ziying Battleship was designed by Lin Xun himself, so he clearly knew how terrible its power was. He might have some means to destroy one Ziying Battleship.
But when it came to five Ziying Battleships, he could do nothing but fled away. Facing these Ziying Battleships was the same as facing five strongmen in Sea Spirit Realm. He was sure that he didn’t have the ability to kill them. What was worse, he would also took risks in escaping.
The worst was that Ziying Battleship flew fast in the sky. If they caught up with him and fired the whole Spiritual Cannons on it, the consequences were unimaginable!
Lin Xun supposed that the enemy would obey the rules and not send the strongmen beyond the Gang Spirit Realm. But when he saw the coming Ziying Battleships, he finally realized that he was naive.
It was true that the enemy didn’t send any Sea Spirit Realm practitioner. But Ziying Battleship was killer weapon that could kill the strongmen in Sea Spirit Realm!
There was no difference from sending five strongmen in Sea Spirit Realm as long as five Ziying Battleships worked well together!
That was going too far!
At this moment, the hatred deep-rooted in Lin Xun’s heart was ignited again. Those enemies, who prevented him from entering the Forbidden City this time, became his eyesore!
However, Lin Xun didn’t lose his mind at the cruelty of the reality. He knew clearly that whether he could escape this time was completely out of his control.
Now, the only thing he could do was to run!
He should not let himself encircled by the Ziying Battleships!
…
Kill!
Lin Xun rushed in the lush jungle like a mad beast whose life was threatened, crushing the enemy’s corpses all the way.
Whine, whine, whine~~
Far away, there was a bleak horn.
Lin Xun found that the enemy who constantly besieged him seemed to be instructed to stop and retreat.
Obviously, the horn was a signal of withdrawing.
Lin Xun knew at once that the enemy was afraid of attacking their companions on the ground wrongly when the Ziying Battleships started to fire.
After all, the power of the spiritual cannon was too terrifying. Once the attacks were launched out intensively, all the people on the ground would face the peril.
As a matter of fact, Ziying Battleship was generally used in the front lines of large-scale battlefields. It could launch raids on the enemy like a sharp blow toward the heart.
It was extremely rare to use Ziying Battleship in dealing with only one target.
“If I keep fighting with those enemies, dare Ziying Battleship attack me from the sky?”
A crazy idea appeared in Lin Xun’s mind.
But soon, the idea was eliminated by the cruel reality.
With a loud bang, a bright light column burst out from the sky, tore the air and went down to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun didn’t have time to think. He rushed forward at full speed and avoided this attack.
Those enemies who had not yet escaped were all killed by the bright light column in Lin Xun’s original place. They even had no time to let out a scream. And a horrible hole that measured about 300 meters across, appeared immediately on the ground, leaving thick smoke lingering.
How cruel!
Lin Xun could not help but take a breath out of fear. They even ignored the life of their companions in order to kill him! They were totally insane!
It also proved that the enemy took this campaign as an opportunity to make a final bid for victory.
They planned to kill him at all costs!
Run!
Run!
Run!
In the lush forest, without the block of the enemy at this moment, Lin Xun suddenly accelerated his speed. Like a black light, he continuously flashed forward.
In the sky, Ziying Battleships had obviously locked on Lin Xun and came close at full speed. They brought endless oppression to people like fortress shuttling through the void with flowing light of spiritual tattoos.
In contrast, the treasure ship Shue Jin often drove appeared tattered when it was compared to these Ziying Battleships.
Lin Xun discussed with Shue Jin and Old Mo about the battleship more than once.
They mixed their feelings of love and hate for such weapons of mass destruction forged by spiritual tattooists.
They appreciated the terrifying power of the battleship on the battlefield when it was perfectly controlled.
But the appearance of such weapons greatly increased the power gap between practitioners.
A Human-gang realm one could kill the Sea Spirit Realm practitioner as long as he could skillfully operate a Ziying Battleship and the spiritual cannons thereon.
How couldn’t this situation depress all the practitioners?
Originally, a strongman of Sea Spirit Realm could easily kill a Human-gang realm practitioner. But the existence of battleship would change this situation!
Fortunately, almost all the specifics of battleships in the Empire were controlled by the bureaucratic forces and the military forces at the upper level, and it could hardly be bought on the market.
There were also some aristocratic families who owned battleships, but relatively speaking, the number of it was extremely small.
This was only a superficial phenomenon. The reality was that almost all the bureaucratic and military forces at the top of the Empire were composed of the clansmen of the aristocratic families!
They might be high-ranking officials, powerful ministers and generals in the military department, but they were also the clansmen of some aristocratic families.
This was the reason why the aristocratic families were powerful. They represented the interests of those families and occupied a high position in the empire. They controlled and monopolized many resources of the Empire. In that way, how could they not be powerful?
The six Ziying Battleships sent by the Chi family to attack Lin Xun this time were the latest refined by the Academy of Spiritual Implements, which was hard to get for general forces.
Now, one of the six Ziying Battleships had been severely damaged and could no longer be used.
Otherwise, today’s situation was bound to be more dangerous.
Boom!
Lin Xun was running for his life. Five Ziying Battleships chased him from the air and launched an attack right away.
Shining columns of light swept out like fallen comets in the void. The cannonballs, with dazzling flame, poured into the earth.
For a while, the lush forest was destroyed and burnt fiercely here and there, and the earth was exposed with holes, rocks and dust.
It was horrible!
Lin Xun felt his gooseflesh stand up all over his body and a feeling of incomparable danger surged in his heart. Just then, he dodged several times in a row and avoided all the attacks hardly.
At this moment, he was like a reptile on the ground, and those attacks was like a crisscross net from the void, wanting to kill him in encirclement.
Things changed so quickly. Lin Xun was still killing the enemy fiercely a moment before. Now he was escaping for his life.
The roaring of explosion from the Ziying Battleship in the void could be heard clearly behind him.
Lin Xun dared not to look back. He even had no time to figure out more solutions at this moment. He was afraid that he would be killed by the fire from the sky because of an oversight.
His figure was flickering left and right like lightning and constantly dodging attacks front and back.
With the powerful perception, Lin Xun was aware that the danger was getting closer and closer and the atmosphere now was more and more intense.
He was now dancing in the fire and wandering between life and death.
At every moment, he was in danger of death!
Boom~ boom~~
Suddenly, the fire from the sky became stronger, like surging thunders ringing in all directions.
Lin Xun’s face suddenly changed. As soon as he flashed, a terrible heat wave came behind him, which threw him away fiercely. His whole body was burning and his viscera were scorching as being torn.
Whoop~
Lin Xun gnashed his teeth and accelerated his gallop with the help of the anti-force.
The lush forest in front of him was becoming sparse, which meant that he would be completely exposed to the enemy in a short time.
There was no doubt that he would face more dangers at that time!
But he had no choice. He had been forced to a desperate situation and could only rush forward!
He didn’t know how long he could hold on, but he knew that if he gave up struggling, he would be killed on the spot! Of course he didn’t want to die.
Lin Xun was in rags because of madly running. His back was burnt and bleeding. His whole body was covered with dust and wretchedness.
However, he showed his tough will on his clear and angular face. He never wanted to give up even in such a desperate situation!
He experienced a lot of life-and-death trials, and also experienced the challenge of Death in the Hundreds Battles, the third pass of Green-cloud Path.
All these made up his inner calmness at this time. He didn’t show any panic and fear when the death was so near.
His mind was, now like still water, without any ripples.
