Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Teasing

Even under the terrifying pressure of seven Enlightened Spirit experts, Lin Xun maintained his calm and composure like he was unaware of the tense situation.

“You must know about your current situation, so I will give you two choices.”

“Leave peacefully or—”

“Fight!”

Lin Xun’s voice filled with superiority reverberated through the area.

“Are you telling us to choose?”

Ju Xun, an Enlightened Spirit expert of the Wood Tribe, laughed angrily, “Little guy, do you think you can do whatever you want because you have that bow?”

Other Enlightened Spirit experts’ faces also darkened. Lin Xun’s words were like an order. How could they not be annoyed?

“What? You don’t agree?”

Lin Xun coldly ran his eyes over them. “If I didn’t have to take care of my comrades today, then you wouldn’t even have a chance to choose!”

His words made Ju Xun’s and the others’ faces turn darker and darker. As experts in the Enlightened Spirit Stage, when had they ever been ridiculed on the Blood Kill Battlefield?

On the other hand, Hu Tong and the others donned complicated expressions. They had regarded Lin Xun as a burden that they needed to take care of and treated him with contempt and disdain.

But now, their lives were in Lin Xun’s hands and whether or not they could survive depended on him. They had become his burden instead.

“I have a feeling that the two arrows just now have already consumed most of your strength. You are just trying to scare us off, isn’t that right?” an Enlightened Spirit expert of the Water Tribe remarked. His body was mysteriously covered in mist as though it was condensed from water.

Bang!

Before he finished, Lin Xun drew the No-Nonsense Bow and aimed at his target.

Terrifying visions once again appeared amidst familiar raging wind and thunder and howling of gods and demons.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun, who was negotiating terms, would suddenly launch an attack?

The Water Tribe expert shrieked in horror. He had witnessed the miserable end of She Zhen and Yan Chixing with his own eyes!

He dodged without hesitation.

But no arrow had been fired. Lin Xun sneered, “You just said I am scaring you guys, so why did you dodge?”

The Water Tribe expert flushed with embarrassment and anger, knowing that he had been fooled! How dare the kid tease me?!

He turned livid at the thought that everyone saw him dodge frantically.

“You have gone too far! I don’t believe you can shoot a third arrow!” he thundered as he summoned a ten-foot-tall millstone shimmering like water. It crushed the surrounding space with its terrifying power as it took shape.

The millstone could instantly crush everything to dust, even the strongest body.

His anger didn’t cloud his mind. He chose his strongest weapon and cultivation art to deal with Lin Xun.

But it also showed that he was extremely wary of Lin Xun.

Bang!

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips curled up as he pulled the bowstring back.

Everyone fixed their eyes on the mysterious white bone bow body, feeling its indescribably terrifying aura erupting like a tsunami and erasing the void to nothingness!

All that was because the speed of its arrow was too fast and its power was too terrifying!

Boom!

The millstone crumbled like paper.

At the same time, the Water Tribe expert screamed strangely and dodged to one side, looking more discomposed than before.

He believed that Lin Xun couldn’t fire a third arrow, but the cruel reality poured over him like a bucket of cold water.

However, it was a little late to evade. With a boom, his chest exploded with a huge hole.

His tragic scream ended abruptly like his life!

Everyone was chilled to the bone like they had fallen into an ice cave. An Enlightened Spirit expert was killed on the spot without even the chance to dodge.

The unbelievable and bloody scene left the other Enlightened Spirit experts aghast. Seconds ago, they were eager to take action, but now, Lin Xun’s arrow, like a slap in the face, made them aware of his terror.

“We were all wrong...” Hu Tong sighed with a complex expression.

Everyone else’s expression morphed indefinitely.

“Now, who else wants to try?”

Lin Xun scanned the audience with his dark eyes, exuding an imposing bearing. Many Magi Brute experts shuddered inwardly and avoided direct eye contact.

“What if we attack together? Do you think you can save your comrades all by yourself?”

Ju Xun’s face was ice-cold and as he spoke, he swept a glance over Hu Tong and A'bi.

Indeed, the final outcome was unpredictable if all the Magi Brute experts attacked together.

But what was certain was that bloodshed and sacrifice were inevitable!

“So, does that mean you choose the second option?” Lin Xun asked calmly, but his brows furrowed with murderous intent. “I’m also curious to see how many of you can survive today!”

His voice and killing intent soared into the air!

It was the most direct threat, but also the most effective. Given the power he had demonstrated with the three arrows, no one dared to dismiss him anymore.

Ju Xun’s and other Enlightened Spirit experts’ expressions morphed again. They were a little hesitant to act.

They were unwilling to let Lin Xun and the others leave, but they also didn’t want to see their side suffer.

“If I were to guess, there must be some amazing treasure in the mine of the Tiger Canyon that attracted you all here?” Lin Xun grinned.

His speculation shocked and angered Ju Xun and the others.

Hu Tong and the others had long had their suspicions. After all, according to the intel, there were at most three Enlightened Spirit experts and no more than fifty Magi Brute elites stationed in the Tiger Canyon.

But there strangely turned out to be nine Enlightened Spirit experts and thousands of Magi Brute elites.

Realization finally dawned on Hu Tong and the others that the Magi Brute experts had gathered in the Tiger Canyon for some kind of treasure!

That explanation also made a lot of sense.

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in the treasures here, but I’m curious to know whether or not you will have a chance to get the treasure if you died in battle here today.” Lin Xun’s expression was calm and leisurely, but his eyes were chilling and threatening.

He lifted the No-Nonsense Bow, ready to act.

An Enlightened Spirit expert of the Gold Tribe roared sullenly, “Little bastard! Don’t be so arrogant. We all know that you have limited strength. No matter how great you are, how many of us can you kill?”

Lin Xun’s arrogance made him itching to tear him to pieces.

“Old bastard, do you want to try too?” Lin Xun aimed the bow at him and made his face blanch.

“Fine, let them leave.” Ju Xun suddenly sighed, his face clouded over.

The other Enlightened Spirit experts looked at each other in dismay, but they kept silent in the end. They came from different tribes, so it was impossible for them to join forces and work together to get rid of Lin Xun.

Additionally, Lin Xun had demonstrated astonishing strength. Although they were infuriated, they weren’t ready to risk their lives to fight.

After all, who would want to die?

Hu Tong’s and the others’ faces lit up. They almost couldn’t believe their ears.

Their situation had been reversed!

However, they felt they had gone through an emotional rollercoaster and just returned from death’s door. That kind of torturous feeling was enough to make ordinary cultivators break down.

Fortunately, the dawn of hope had finally come!

Bang!

However, to their surprise, Lin Xun drew the No-Nonsense Bow once again and fired an arrow.

The target was in a nearby shadow.

Ju Xun’s and the others’ eyes bulged wide open, as though they never thought that Lin Xun would notice something.

Boom!

At the same time, a destructive rumble boomed in the shadows, followed by a gray figure of almost nothingness darting out, screaming.

It was an Enlightened Spirit expert of the Darkness Tribe, but his skin was torn and crushed, and his body was dripping with blood.

“You...how did you know?” he shrieked with anger and fear.

Lin Xun uttered coldly, “What‘s so hard about that?”

Hu Tong and the others gasped out loud and broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did they realize that the Darkness Tribe expert hiding in the shadows would have struck them from behind if they had left just now!

They realized that Lin Xun was more incredible than they had thought to be able to perceive the presence of the Darkness Tribe expert.

“Leave!” Ju Xun said aloud.

He and other Enlightened Spirit experts had become ashen-faced, as though they completely admitted defeat and didn’t want to fight anymore.

Bang!

Lin Xun responded to them by drawing his bow once again.

“You…”

Ju Xun and the others panicked. Isn’t the little bastard going to leave? Does he want to fight to the death with us?

“Haha, don’t worry. I am just scaring you guys.” Lin Xun chuckled, relaxing his grip on the bowstring.

Ju Xun and the others were so enraged that they almost lost control of their urge to kill. The kid is so hateful. He deliberately teased us!

Lin Xun had already drifted away, leading Hu Tong and the others to the entrance of the Tiger Canyon in the distance.

“Should we do something?” As Ju Xun and the others watched them leave from afar, their faces grew sullen with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

They couldn’t accept it!

The kid effortlessly killed one of their comrades with just an arrow. He also severely wounded She Zhen and Yan Chixing. It would be the greatest shame to them if they allowed him to leave unscathed with everyone. They would become a laughingstock and never be able to hold their heads up!

One of the Enlightened Spirit experts remarked quietly, “That bow is an incredible treasure...”

His words only made the rest more bitter.

“Everyone, don’t forget about the Brute Blood Magi Array that we jointly set up! Let’s see if they can get out of that...” Ju Xun’s eyes flashed coldly.

The others’ eyes lit up.

They could tell that Ju Xun was implying that if the empire cultivators failed to get out of the array then they should…take advantage of this great opportunity to act!
