Chapter 81

Fierce flames burned in various areas of the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold, spreading to the point of being uncontrollable.

Some people held their ground, hoping that Lü Laohu would return in time with reinforcements.

But more chose to flee, causing chaos.

For these thugs living at the bottom of society, survival was the only concern, and loyalty was a concept they knew nothing about.

When Lin Xun entered the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold, he saw many people fleeing in panic along the way. He did not pursue them but headed straight for the main hall.

Soon, Lin Xun saw dozens of cultivators standing in formation in the main hall, which greatly surprised him.

These guys didn't even hide?

"These people are yours to deal with; I have other matters to attend to." At this moment, Xia Zhi's voice sounded, and she disappeared immediately.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, then smiled, drew the Flame Spirit Saber, and instead of retreating, charged toward the dozens of cultivators!

One person, one saber, to face dozens of cultivators!

When the Black Tiger Gang cultivators gathered in the main hall saw this, they couldn't help but feel it was absurd, especially since they were dealing with a teenager!

But thinking of the terrifying means of that little girl earlier, the absurdity in their hearts instantly dissipated, and they became wary. Perhaps this teenager was even more formidable than the little girl?

Boom!

Seeing Lin Xun charge, someone couldn't hold back any longer, brandishing a long spear and fiercely stabbing forward. The spear shadow was as swift as lightning, sharp and lethal, containing intimidating spiritual energy.

This was a True Martial Fifth Level expert!

A thought flashed through Lin Xun's mind, and his movements were not slow at all. The saber hummed and struck the spear, causing a loud bang!

Boom!

A terrifying force like a mountain pushed forward, and the opponent was sent flying with his spear, crashing into a stone pillar, spitting blood from his nose and mouth, and fainting on the spot.

At the same time, a saber, a sword, and a hammer attacked Lin Xun from different directions, with vicious and precise moves.

Lin Xun leaped, and the saber blade suddenly curled, forming a storm vortex, flames surging, and emitting a roaring sound.

With a boom, the opponent's long saber was severed into two, along with his right arm, and he screamed and retreated.

The other sword and hammer were fiercely thrown away, exposing the two cultivators' weaknesses. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xun changed his technique and struck down.

With a thud, the cultivator wielding the hammer had his head split open and fell to the ground.

The cultivator with the sword managed to dodge in time, barely escaping, but his face turned pale with fear.

In a blink, three people were killed on the spot!

Lin Xun used only three moves from the six-character saber technique: "Shock," "Spin," and "Slash." Although his saber skills were not as strong as Xia Zhi's, they were more than enough to deal with the cultivators present.

Moreover, he was now equipped with various spiritual weapons, holding the Flame Spirit Saber, making his combat power at least 30% stronger than before.

In contrast, the opponents were mostly True Martial Fifth Level cultivators, and it was difficult for them to pose a threat to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun, even at True Martial Fifth Level, could match a True Martial Seventh Level expert like Du Xiao. Now, having advanced to True Martial Sixth Level, his combat power was far beyond what it used to be.

Seeing several companions killed in an instant, the other Black Tiger Gang cultivators in the main hall were shocked and their faces changed.

"Quick! Attack together and kill this kid!"

With a loud roar, the cultivators moved in unison, no longer holding back, their faces twisted with ferocity, surrounding Lin Xun.

For a moment, the main hall was filled with the sounds of battle, like a hellish battlefield, with walls collapsing, the ground cracking, and various items turned to dust.

Kill!

Lin Xun fought with his saber, his figure agile like a flying monkey, the Flame Spirit Saber slashing in all directions, the crimson saber light like a fiery rainbow, carrying terrifying destructive power.

Although it was his first time facing dozens of cultivators alone, Lin Xun showed no panic. His black eyes were deep and calm, his gentle and warm face remained unperturbed.

Beneath his calm exterior, however, burned a boiling fighting spirit and a killing intent.

Battle!

The smell of blood and fire, as if possessing a magical power, unlocked a deep-seated desire in Lin Xun's heart.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

This teenager from the mine prison, with his long hair flying, wielded his saber like a dragon, causing a storm of blood and gore.

The enemies' screams as they fell were like an intense symphony, making Lin Xun's fighting spirit soar.

The blood pouring from the enemies' bodies was like the world's strongest liquor, giving Lin Xun a sense of exhilaration he had never experienced before.

At this moment, Lin Xun was completely lost in the battle, forgetting the world, forgetting all the trivialities of life.

In his eyes, there was only the enemy!

Bang!

A cultivator couldn't dodge in time and had his head split open.

Crash!

On the other side, a cultivator's legs were severed, flames burning, and he fell into the sea of fire and blood.

Boom!

A copper hammer suddenly attacked from behind, hitting Lin Xun's shoulder. However, the "Yunshan Shoulder Armor" with the Earth Spirit Pattern engraved on it absorbed most of the force, but still shattered his shoulder bone.

But Lin Xun seemed unaware, his figure retreating, and he fiercely stabbed his saber backward, gutting the attacker.

This was close combat, brutal and fierce, allowing no hesitation, and a moment could mean life or death.

At this moment, Lin Xun was not only ruthless to his enemies but also to himself, willing to risk injury to seize every fleeting opportunity to kill.

The enemies kept falling, and Lin Xun's body was covered in wounds, blood soaking through his clothes.

But his expression never wavered, and his Flame Spirit Saber was precise, ruthless, and steady, like an invincible war god, slicing through blood and fire, embodying the cycle of life and death.

It seemed like a long time had passed, or perhaps just a moment, when Lin Xun suddenly felt a lightness in his body. Looking around, only seven or eight enemies remained.

At his feet, the broken bodies lay in the blood, burning in the flames, the smell of char and blood permeating every corner.

Dozens of enemies had been slaughtered!

Lin Xun, coming to his senses from the battle, realized that he had become so powerful...

Yes, although Lin Xun was still at the True Martial realm, far from the Spirit Qi realm, compared to his weakness when he first entered Fuyun Village, he had undergone a complete transformation, reborn from the ashes!

The seven or eight cultivators opposite were clearly terrified, their faces filled with fear, looking at the teenager as if he were a blood-soaked demon, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Yes, they were terrified.

Dozens of people had failed to subdue a True Martial Sixth Level teenager, and not only that, but he had killed them in a mess.

What was even more chilling was that Lin Xun's killing methods were extremely swift and efficient, and he never spoke a word, the silence and efficiency making them almost suffocate.

What kind of teenager was this?

Thud!

Lin Xun moved again, taking a step forward, his foot stepping in the blood, making a dull sound.

This sound, which would have gone unnoticed in the past, now seemed like a death knell in the oppressive silence of the main hall.

The seven or eight cultivators stiffened, then let out a terrified roar, rushing out of the main hall in a panic.

Their courage had collapsed, and in the face of death, they dared not struggle any longer.

Run!

They had to run!

This teenager was a devil who killed without blinking, too terrifying!

Lin Xun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, not bothering to chase them. He scanned the surroundings and headed deeper into the main hall.

The intense pain washed over Lin Xun's mind, and only after the battle ended did he realize that even with his various spiritual weapons, he had still suffered many injuries—saber wounds, sword wounds, internal injuries...

These injuries were not important to Lin Xun. As a thug in the mine prison once said, scars were a man's most glorious honor!

What made Lin Xun frown was that after a fierce battle, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted and could not last much longer.

The top priority was to find Xia Zhi quickly!

Soon, Lin Xun disappeared into the depths of the main hall.

Behind him, the walls of the main hall had collapsed, the stone pillars were destroyed, and the bodies in the blood were burning, the scene like a hell.

Outside the main hall, the raging fire illuminated the night, signaling that the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold had completely fallen!

...

When Lü Laohu returned with his subordinates, he saw a raging fire, and his carefully cultivated stronghold was completely engulfed in flames.

In an instant, Lü Laohu's face turned ashen, his eyes bloodshot.

Behind him, his subordinates were all shocked, exclaiming in disbelief. When they left, there were still many people left in the stronghold. Could they all have been killed?

"Boss! Boss, you're finally back!" A disheveled cultivator, his body scorched, rushed over, sobbing.

"Who did this?" Lü Laohu's voice was cold, as if squeezed through his teeth.

"A teenager and a little girl!"

The man gritted his teeth and roared, "They not only killed many of our brothers but also set fire to our territory! Boss, you must avenge our brothers!"

Everyone was stunned. The culprits were not from another gang but just a teenager and a little girl!

And they destroyed their stronghold with just two people? How was that possible?

"Where are they?" Lü Laohu's face turned even more ashen, his eyes bloodshot.

He suddenly remembered that their original target was a teenager named Lin Xun. Could it be that Lin Xun didn't escape but took the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Black Tiger Gang?

Thinking of this, Lü Laohu's heart sank. They had been tricked!

"They're inside!" The cultivator pointed to the Black Tiger Gang's stronghold.

Lü Laohu's hair stood on end, unable to contain his anger, and he roared, "Follow me and charge in! Find these two brats, alive or dead!"
