Chapter 295 Slaughter

All the cultivators could barely believe their eyes that Lin Xun was still standing when they recognized that it was him.

Who would have imagined that a Human Dipper Stage teenager could survive the bombardment of a Violet Hero Battleship?

It was too unbelievable!

However, no one had the time to puzzle over it anymore because Lin Xun had already launched an attack.

He was alone with a little girl on his back but when he appeared, he seemed like an invincible king on the battlefield. His imposing manner engulfed the entire area in an unstoppable manner like a violent storm!

Every strike of his blade took a life. His simple, precise and swift method of killing served as a chilling deterrent.

Lin Xun had no scruples. He wanted to vent the anger, hatred, and self-blame that had accumulated in his heart. He was like an erupting volcano. He couldn’t control himself, but he also didn’t want to control himself!

Die!

As he clasped the Flowing Light Blade, his aura tumbled around him like a tsunami. He went on an unstoppable rampage, like a storm sweeping across the world.

“Hurry! Stop him together!” the scarred-faced leader roared.

Many cultivators sped towards Lin Xun in an attempt to suppress him with their advantage in numbers.

Rumble!

However, before they neared Lin Xun, a blade streaked across the sky, crushing the surrounding air and blasting away dozens of enemies. Several cultivators cried out in agony and collapsed. They had lost the ability to fight.

Many enemies stared, horrified at the scene and unable to believe it.

It was too terrifying. They had many Heaven Dipper Stage cultivators among them, yet not a single one of them could stop Lin Xun!

Die!

As Lin Xun charged forward, blood spurted across the rocky beach and broken limbs were hurled everywhere. Miserable shrieks followed one after another in rapid succession.

The bloody and tragic scenes made the place resemble purgatory.

Scree

A cultivator aimed an attack at Lin Xun from behind. His black spear swung forward like a python spitting out venom, speeding straight towards the little girl on Lin Xun’s back.

Bang!

Lin Xun acted as if he had eyes on the back of his head. Without turning to look, he fired the Bramble Crossbow that suddenly appeared in his left hand.

Lin Xun’s sudden attack completely caught the cultivator off guard. A crossbow arrow pierced through his left eye and into his head, and, with an anguished scream, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The terrifying scene deterred the other cultivators from approaching. The space around Lin Xun was suddenly empty.

The scarred face leader roared, “Idiots! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and fire the arrows!?”

As though they had snapped awake from a dream, the cultivators brought out their crossbows in a flash and all aimed at Lin Xun from different directions.

However—

Before they could make any move, Lin Xun was already holding a different short crossbow in his left hand!

It wasn’t the Divine Arm Crossbow or the Bramble Crossbow or any other short crossbow on the market.

The crossbow looked ordinary with an entirely jet-black body.

However, when Lin Xun pulled the trigger, a bizarre sound that resembled the airy hum of a flute that felt like it reverberated across the world.

Instantly, silvery starlight filled everyone’s vision like blooming fireworks. It was magnificent and gorgeous.

An intense feeling of crisis surged in everyone’s heart. Their souls trembled with fear and almost collapsed.

It was a dreamy and stunning shower of silver arrows!

They were as beautiful as fireworks, as mysterious as the stars, and as chilling as frost as they spread across the void.

Its beauty made the world pale in comparison and bewitched a person’s spirit!

Thump!

Before the cultivators could even struggle, the silver arrows had already pierced their bodies. Their faces were contorted with bewilderment and disbelief up until their death. It was hard to imagine how something so beautiful yet terrifying could exist in the world.

When the spectacular starlight vanished, dozens of corpses appeared on the ground and blood flowed everywhere. The people had died in an instant.

It was the Flying Star Crossbow!

Lin Xun had personally made this killing weapon in Blood Kill Camp and had astonished Xiaoke, Xiaoman and Xu Sanqi.

Old Mo, an experienced rune master, also repeatedly marveled at the crossbow!

The Flying Star Crossbow was one of the little toys that Lin Xun had personally forged before he left Haze City.

Unfortunately, the rune materials required to create a Flying Star Crossbow were all very precious and rare, and so he could only make one with his financial power at the time.

Although the Flying Star Crossbow was extremely powerful, it could only be used once. This was its greatest weakness.

Lin Xun couldn’t correct the flaw even with his current rune skills.

……

Instantly, a rain of arrows flashed across the sky like fireworks and simultaneously killed a dozen cultivators!

All the cultivators who escaped the calamity felt as if their souls had left their bodies and felt hollow inside.

Even the scarred-faced leader’s hands went cold as though he had fallen into an ice cave. Unprecedented terror flooded his heart.

After a rough calculation, he realized that over thirty of his comrades had died one after another in the slaughter.

Yet his opponent was unscathed!

The terrified cultivators were filled with despair and had lost their spirit to fight when they saw the power of the Flying Star Crossbow.

Therefore, when Lin Xun launched another killing spree, the remaining twenty-odd cultivators couldn’t help but scream in horror and flee the battlefield.

Lin Xun’s astonishing strength had already horrified them to death and now that they had witnessed the destructive power of the Flying Star Crossbow, how would they dare to fight anymore?

Run!

Lin Xun was like a ruthless and cold-blooded demon who killed without batting an eye. They felt unprecedented despair when they faced him.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes. He didn’t intend to stop. Instead, he gave chase once he saw them flee.

However, he only ran a dozen of feet before he suddenly grunted and blood overflowed from the corner of his lips.

He seemed unscathed from the battle, but he had sustained internal injuries from the repeated mobilization of his cultivation. He felt a burning sensation in his meridians and organs.

Even so, Lin Xun didn’t stop. The rage and murderous intent that filled his body made him unable to watch his enemy escape under his nose.

Bang!

While pursuing them, Lin Xun drew out a Divine Arm Crossbow, pulled the trigger, and shot a cultivator hundreds of feet away. The cultivator instantly collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ear-piercing whistle of the crossbow echoed endlessly across the mountains.

Lin Xun was like a fierce but steady hunter constantly chasing after fleeing prey.

A few days ago, he had seized a large number of short crossbows from his battles. He had planned to exchange them for money, but he couldn’t care anymore and used them all on hunting down his enemies.

Although his accuracy with the crossbow decreased significantly when he was trying to hit moving targets, his rapid strikes still killed more than a dozen cultivators.

Before he knew it, he had come to an empty hilly area. He killed another cultivator again, but his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw a Violet Hero Battleship moored a few thousand feet away.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xun gave up the pursuit, turned around and left. His speed was visibly much faster than before.

Boom—

With a thunderous roar, the Violet Hero Battleship rose into the air, casting a huge, long shadow across the ground.

At that moment, Lin Xun sped into a mountain range and was rapidly climbing a hundred- foot-tall mountain peak with both hands and feet.

Hu—

He took a deep breath, took out the No-Nonsense Bow, and crouched on the ground. He peered into the distance like an eagle.

He stretched out a finger and pulled the blood-red trigger while maintaining an absolute state of calmness in his mind-sea.

Instantly, the scene before him changed. The Violet Hero Battleship in the sky was clearly presented to Lin Xun.

Every inch of the battleship seemed to have been magnified several times. It was moving towards Lin Xun at full speed.

The center deck of the battleship suddenly lit up and dazzling rays of light shot everywhere. Countless runes were endlessly circling like they were alive.

It was a rune cannon set up on the Violet Hero Battleship. It had a spectacular name—City Destroyer Cannon!

It could kill Spirit Sea cultivators with its tremendous power!

The Violet Hero Battleship was going to launch a catastrophic attack at Lin Xun by operating the City Destroyer Cannon.

Lin Xun stood motionless atop a mountain peak. He didn’t care about the risk of exposing himself, so he drew his bow and aimed while maintaining an absolute state of calmness and focus.

In the blink of an eye, the Violet Hero Battleship had already sped across hundreds of feet. The cannon was locked on the mountain peak that Lin Xun was on.

Swoosh!

Lin Xun suddenly relaxed his fingertip and an almost invisible rune arrow silently shot out.

Boom!

Almost at the same time, the City Destroyer Cannon was suddenly fired amid an explosion of dazzling light.

However, the silent arrow directly struck the fired cannon that could instantly kill a Spirit Sea cultivator.

A terrifying explosion rapidly swept across the deck like the eruption of a volcano. The fire instantly tore apart the deck and engulfed the Violet Hero battleship.

The sea of flames and smoke billowed into the sky. The Violet Hero Battleship wildly vibrated, swayed, and rumbled in the void!

A single arrow had almost destroyed a brand-new Violet Hero Battleship!

If other cultivators in the empire saw the destruction, their jaws would drop. They would never believe that a Human Dipper teenager was able to cause such astonishing destruction!

However, Lin Xun didn’t find his performance particularly crazy or ridiculous because he was the one who designed the Violet Hero Battleship!

In the eyes of other people, the operation of the City Destroyer Cannon involved just a series of eruptions of blinding light, but Lin Xun was able to accurately predict when the cannon would fire.

Taking advantage of his ability, he could use the power of the No-Nonsense Bow to seize that one second of opportunity to destroy the ship!
