Chapter 162 Star-Gathers Might

The brute race was split into nine tribes.

Each tribe possessed enormous power and influence, boasted numerous powerful experts, and were akin to nine small countries.

The nine great tribes had an extremely complex relationship with each other: competition, cooperation, petty conflicts, and mutually respectful communication.

Regardless, when against outsiders, they would immediately choose to cooperate despite the grudges between them.

This was their foundation for survival. Otherwise, the entire brute race would not be able to coexist with the Abyss Demon Spirits and the Moon Soul Race in the Darkness Kingdom nor survive wars against the Ziyao Empire until today.

Hence, when other brute experts saw the water brute experts being slaughtered by a single human youngster despite their absolute advantage, the scattered brute experts from the other tribes stepped forward together in unison.

There were more than fifty of them and they were all elites with no lack of top-tier ninth-level brute slaves amongst them.

When they joined the battle, Lin Xun immediately felt pressured.

His advance slowed along with his kill rate and his originally unstoppable momentum began to show signs of faltering.

Rumble!

Fiery light swirled around a giant sword as it danced like a ferocious fire dragon.

Criiiinnnkk!

A golden spear gleamed with a strange icy sharpness as it thrust through the air like a dazzling shooting star.

Dong!

A giant hammer seemed to crush the air with the force of a mountain as it slammed downwards with great force.

Omm~

A black rope-like vine rose from the ground and danced wildly like a viper. It coiled in the air above Lin Xun, waiting for the right moment to strike.

A series of attacks were completed in an instant and were launched at Lin Xun from different directions and angles.

The experts have moved!

Lin Xuns eyes narrowed as he twisted his body and took three steps back. At the same time, he hacked a black vine to pieces before sending a dozen successive swings behind him.

Bang bang bang~

Rapid-fire clangs sounded as the air exploded. A frightening qi wave spread, forcing the brute experts within a hundred feet radius to retreat.

Although he had defended against the onslaught, Lin Xun was forced three steps back. This was the first time he had been forced back since the battle began!

Wow! I cant believe he actually managed to block our attacks. Hes no weaker than Zhao Yin. The golden spear wielder was shocked. His long hair seemed to be suffused with golden light and his eyes dazzled like golden stars.

He was called Rui Huaji and was the top expert of the gold tribes younger generation.

The man wielding the giant flaming sword was called Ba Xun, the giant hammer-wielding man was called Min Jiang, and the vine-wielding girl was called Hua Caiyi. They were top younger generation experts from the fire tribe, earth tribe, and wood tribe respectively.

In addition to the water tribes Shui Zhi, a total of five younger generation peak experts were participating in the battle!

However, their joint attack had failed to stop Lin Xun, causing their hearts to shiver. They knew that this human was a very formidable opponent.

Who cares how he compares to Zhao Yin. We can discuss that after we kill him! Ba Xun shouted as he swung his flaming broadsword in a devastating manner again.

Im of the same opinion. Rui Huaji laughed cockily as his golden spear pierced through the air.

Kill!

Min Jiang, Hua Caiyi, and Shui Zhi moved as well.

In an instant, Lin Xun was forced into a disadvantageous situation. He could only defend as he was repeatedly pushed back, and there was no longer any trace of the unstoppable momentum he once had.

It was very terrifying indeed.

When the combined might of five top-class younger generation brute experts was directed against a single person, it was easy to imagine how huge of a threat he was under.

Any other ordinary Blood Kill Camp student would have been unable to put up any resistance and been slain long ago.

Although Lin Xun was not instantly overwhelmed, his situation had become dangerous. Numerous wounds soon appeared on his body.

The other brute experts had already fallen back, creating a large space for Shui Zhi and the other four to display their full capabilities.

There was already no way out for Lin Xun!

The sudden turn of events was also observed by the empire experts and caught them by surprise.

It is indeed hard to predict the future. Who could have expected such a turn of events? Some sighed, feeling anxious for Lin Xun.

Thank god we didnt move. Otherwise, we would be stuck in a hopeless situation like Lin Xun. Some were secretly rejoicing that they had not tried to help.

Should we take this opportunity to kill a few of those brute trash? Its a rare chance since Lin Xun is keeping so many experts busy. Some were tempted to take advantage of the situation.

You still need your life to claim army contributions. Cant you see that there are still over a hundred brute experts? However, a bucket of cold water was immediately poured over their heads.

How hateful. Are we just going to watch Lin Xun fight alone? Were all cultivators of the empire! How can we watch him being killed by those brute trash? Some were angry and dissatisfied with the bystander attitudes of the other cultivators.

Others scolded back, War is heartless and this isnt the time to talk about camaraderie. As proper soldiers, we should be able to see the big picture and judge the merits and demerits. If we act on impulse, well only end up sabotaging ourselves!

It was basically chaos. Regardless, not a single person was willing to implicate themselves and help Lin Xun kill the enemy.

To find profit and avoid demerits was human nature while also a weakness.

Squelch!

The golden spear flashed as another wound was added to Lin Xuns waist.

He was drenched in blood, some of which belonged to his enemies while some belonged to him. He looked like an extremely pitiful blood man.

His expression remained strangely composed and his black eyes were akin to a freezing abyss.

Although Lin Xun was forced to dodge continuously and was unable to fight back, his movements were always smooth and unhindered; his blade was always precise and stable.

Little shit, youll definitely die today! Shui Zhi icily chuckled, his pretty-boy face hideously twisted.

The water tribe had lost far too much today as more than fifty warriors had lost their lives to Lin Xun. This price was far too severe.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Water Sacred Bead was still in Lin Xuns hands!

Rui Huaji frostily said, This guys battle power would probably make him one of the top combatants in Blood Kill Camp. Such a person is usually very difficult to stop. We absolutely cannot allow him to leave.

Stop talking so much nonsense. A young empire expert like him must be killed. Otherwise, hell definitely become a hindrance in the future to our invasion of the empire. Hua Caiyi was brimming with killing intent.

They talked as they attacked, treating Lin Xun as a lamb to be slaughtered.

Lin Xun naturally heard everything. The corners of his mouth suddenly rose at an angle as he smiled mysteriously, Do you guys really think you can make me stay today?

Shui Zhi and the other four were taken aback and they suddenly sensed a terrifying aura brewing in Lin Xuns body.

Although the aura was very faint, it set off loud alarm bells in their hearts!

Quickly kill him! All of them immediately unleashed their full power.

Various terrifying attacks erupted. The golden spear, giant hammer, flaming sword, vines, and short sword wove together into an inescapable net that sought to completely destroy Lin Xun.

However

Lin Xun suddenly took a deep breath as disdain appeared on his face; it was the disdain of a mighty empire overlooking the land or a saint traveling the cosmos.

Alarming power undulations surged from his body like a volcano that had been repressed for far too long. All of the long-accumulated power exploded in an instant!

Shing!

The cry of a blade rang out but no one could see Lin Xuns attack. The scenery before their eyes seemed to disappear, replaced by the night sky. Stars suddenly fell from the heavens and sank into the endless darkness. It seemed as if the end of all days had arrived; the entire universe heaving as all matter was destroyed!

The terrifying aura felt frighteningly real as it engulfed their minds, hearts, and souls

Star Gather!

A blade instantly appeared from the void, tearing apart the sky and slicing through the darkness!

Time felt like it had come to a standstill.

Shui Zhi saw Rui Huijis severed head fly, his face still filled with shock.

Shui Zhi saw Min Jiangs body being cut in two at the waist. Blood poured out like a waterfall but he seemed completely oblivious as if he was stuck in a dream.

Shui Zhi saw half of Ba Xuns head hurtling through the air

Shui Zhi saw Hui Caiyis body suddenly explode into chunks of flesh.

Why is this happening?

Is this a dream?

Shui Zhi was dazed. However, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain and abruptly realized that his body was standing in front of him without a head

This

In the split-second between life and death, Shui Zhi finally understood that his head had been sliced off.

The ring of the blade also frightened the surrounding brute experts. They felt as if they had fallen into eternal darkness and could only see stars rain down from above.

When they returned to their senses, they saw Lin Xun standing there holding his blade, his blood-soaked clothes ruffling in the wind.

At his feet were mangled corpses and pools of blood. The five apex younger generation experts hadall been killed!

It was utterly silent.

An indescribable chill filled everyones hearts.

What the hell had just happened?

How did the battle suddenly end!

How could Shui Zhi, Rui Huaji, Min Jiang, Ba Xun, and Hua Caiyi have been killed all of a sudden!?

Could a superior expert have intervened?

The atmosphere was stiflingly silent. All the brute experts present were shocked to an unprecedented level.

It was too horrifying!

It was as if they suddenly had a nightmare and awoke to find everyone dead!

In the vicinity of the volcano, the watching empire experts were dumbstruck. They were like geese who had been grabbed by the neck, their faces filled with blank expressions.

What the hell had just happened?!

They had also failed to clearly see what had transpired. They had originally believed Lin Xun was dead for sure and there was no longer any need to try and save him. Who could have imagined that the five younger generation peak experts ganging up on Lin Xun would be killed in the blink of an eye!

It was far too inconceivable!
