Chapter 214 No-Nonsense Bow

Ten thousand gold coins!

It was considered a tremendous amount of money even to the major forces. Lian Fei was hesitant to agree when he heard that Yao Susu intended to invite the Rain Listener House to take action with that price.

Susu, the major sects and factions have already taken action. Lin Xun will no doubt die even if we dont get involved. Why waste so much money to hire assassins?

Lian Fei couldnt understand her thinking.

Brother Fei, if we want to gain a foothold in Haze City in the future, we inevitably have to have dealings with the other forces. This is a good opportunity for us to form relationships with the other sects and factions. Yao Susu quickly explained, As long as Lin Xun dies in our hands, we wont just simply help you get revenge, but we can also win the favor of other forces. Our move can kill two birds with one stone.

Lian Feis brows were still knitted in a frown. We have to spend ten thousand gold coins just to be on friendly terms with the other sects and factions?

Yao Susu sighed, Big Brother Fei, were in Haze City, the capital of the Southwest Province. Its already very good to be able to form a relationship with the major sects and factions by just spending some money.

Seeing that Lian Fei was about to say something more, Yao Susu said firmly. Okay, its decided.

Lian Feis expression was dark and unpleasant but he didnt dare to say anything else when he looked at Yao Susus indifferent and calm eyes.

Rain Listener House.

In a quaint room, Rain Listener was sitting cross-legged. Dressed in an azure scholarly robe, he played the zither in a calm and peaceful manner but the tune he played was lonely and cold.

The torrential rain battered the window like a waterfall and thunder rumbled, but still couldnt suppress the loneliness of the zither.

Lord, are you going to take action? a respectful voice sounded outside the door.

Clang!

The zither in the room suddenly made a high-pitched key and immediately fell silent.

Tonight, the city is shrouded in murderous spirit. It already doesnt look good for that boy Lin Xun but since the employer still insists on doing so. There must be a reason.

Rain Listeners pleasant and low voice sounded from the room. Have you found out who the employer is this time?

Im only certain that its related to the great cultivator Yao Tuohai, responded the respectful voice.

Yao Tuohai

Rain Listeners voice turned faintly discernible, and it was after a long moment that he said aloud, Since Yao Tuohai is involved, give him some face and dispatch Remnant Snow, Ghost Moon and Gray Marten.

Yes! said the respectful voice.

Haze City. In a dark cellar.

Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged. He had consumed a bottle of Azure Jade Dipper Pill in one sitting and began his cultivation without any hesitation.

He had fought all night and consequently exhausted his strength. In particular, he had mobilized the Star-Gather two times in order to kill Lu Zhong and Remnant Wind and, as a result, almost consumed all his physical strength.

The power of Star-Gather was extremely terrifying, but it also consumed a huge amount of spirit dipper power. Lin Xuns strength was completely different from how he was in the past now that he had reached the Human Dipper Stage but it was still too much to activate the Star-Gather twice in a row.

Lin Xun had to utilize every second to recover his strength.

Chu Feng specially prepared the cellar for Lin Xun, and there were a dozen of such hiding places all around Haze City.

The hiding places had been prepared long before that night. They were all to provide Lin Xun with a place to hide temporarily.

While cultivating, Lin Xun checked the condition of his body. His body was riddled with scars, all of which left from the battles.

Fortunately, they werent serious and wouldnt affect his fighting ability.

Next, its my turn to fight back Lin Xun muttered. He had finally broken through the siege after he killed Lu Zhong and Remnant Wind. Once he restored his strength, he would be able to counterattack.

In other words, his situation had changed; he was no longer a prey, but a hunter.

After the time to burn an incense stick.

Once Lin Xuns physical strength was restored to its original state, he began to check on his remaining supplies.

Three Blazing Sunset Crossbows, two black blades, more than ten bottles of medicine and some miscellaneous battle items.

Lin Xun speculated that his remaining supply would be enough to last him until dawn as long as he didnt encounter difficult opponents.

Huh?

Inadvertently, Lin Xun noticed the gray bead that he had stored in his Little Xumi Ring.

What exactly is this thing?

Lin Xun was fiddling with it when a familiar cold aura surged in his heart. It was as though an ancient demon was staring right into his soul.

Suddenly, Lin Xun circulated the Little Divine Meditation Art and began to visualize the eternal starry sky and shining stars to calm his mind. In the blink of an eye, the cold aura was expelled without a trace.

Lin Xuns consciousness and mind had become utterly untainted. It was only then that he noticed that the gray bead had silently undergone a change in his hand.

Waves of divine light were bubbling up around the bead like a vast gray sea and gradually took the shape of a huge bow.

At first glance, it was as though a divine bow was sealed inside the bead and was about to break out.

A thought struck Lin Xuns mind. He released a wisp of spirit dipper power from his fingertip and instilled it into the gray bead.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the gray bead underwent a drastic change. It transformed into a bow in Lin Xun's palm!

Lin Xun was utterly baffled. It was too mysterious. It was the first time he saw such a mysterious bead that could instantaneously transform into a huge bow!

What kind of treasure is this?

Of all the aeth tools in the world, only rune armaments can be sealed in such a tiny bead through a mysterious means.

But it clearly isnt a rune armament! Its just a bow!

Its so strange.

Soon, Lin Xuns eyes were drawn to the body of the bow. It was constructed from several skulls and emitted a cold violent aura.

As for the bow string, it was a demonic blood-red color. The combination of the white bow body and the slender blood-like bowstring together formed a hair-raising picture.

However, it was as light as a feather in his hand. Upon a closer look at the bow, Lin Xun found that even if it was sinister and terrifying, it had a natural beauty about it. It was as though it wasnt made but born from the world!

Lin Xun held up the bow and pulled the bowstring back. But when the bowstring was fully stretched, he felt an icy aura rush throughout the bow body.

Suddenly, he seemed to see the heaven and earth change before him. He saw the extremely fine specks of dust swirling in the air, the direction of airflow in the dark and the ants asleep in the corner of the wall.

Not only that, but Lin Xun could also feel that all his emotions seemed to have disappeared. He was only left with an icy calmness.

In that extreme calm state, it seemed as if he could kill any opponent he wanted with the bow!

The feeling was so strong that Lin Xun began to suspect that he was no longer himself. He felt as though he had transformed into a God and possessed unrivaled archery skills in the world!

The feeling was incredibly mysterious and it was easy to be absorbed in that state. However, a sense of vigilance was uncontrollably born in Lin Xuns heart.

This is bad!

The bow seems to be influencing me!

Lin Xun clenched his teeth and instantly snapped out from that extreme icy-calm state. He rapidly gasped for breath. It was only then that he found that his robe was soaked in cold sweat.

When he took another look at the strange bow in his hand again, his gaze changed and his eyes went wide with deep shock and fear.

It can impact the mind and occupy a cultivators willpower! What kind of bow is this?

Previously, Lin Xun had wondered why Remnant Wind possessed such astonishing assassination skills when his cultivation was only mediocre but he now realized that it was due to the bow!

In that extreme calm state, the mysterious power contained in the bow could indeed help ordinary cultivators bring out unimaginable power.

However, Lin Xun was extremely afraid of the bow since it was able to occupy a cultivator's mind and even willpower. It was as though it possessed intellect. He knew that he had to be vigilant of it since the consequences could be disastrous if it took the advantage to occupy his body!

Furthermore, Lin Xun had only drawn the bow yet his spirit power already seemed to be swallowed up and was beginning to weaken.

In other words, the bow could very likely cause tremendous damage to his spirit power when used!

Lin Xun drew a deep breath and carefully checked the bow once again. But this time, he mobilized his spirit sense power. He suddenly came to a boundless gray wasteland where a bow was suspended in the sky and it was releasing a chilling aura that terrified all living things.

Suddenly, a part of the sky exploded in the distance and a giant ancient dragon beast appeared out of nowhere. As soon as it appeared, it roared skywards. Its roar echoed through the world like a rumble of thunder, shattering one mountain after another.

However, the huge bow suddenly glowed a gray hue as it floated in the sky. The bowstring was suddenly pulled tight and a ray of dreamy light was fired out.

Instantly, the ancient mountain-like dragon beast silently turned into blood foam and dyed the sky red.

An arrow silently shot out, a ferocious mighty dragon silently plunged from the sky, and a mountain-like body turned into blood foam and silently vanished.

It was a silent shocking power. It didnt produce any earth-shaking noise but it was a hair-raising shocking power.

Lin Xun stopped breathing and suddenly snapped awake. All the illusions disappeared. Only the strange bow lay quietly in the palm of his hand, glowing an indescribably mysterious hue.

Almost at the same time, a name that he had never heard of before surfaced to his mind No-Nonsense!

No-Nonsense?

Thats the name of the bow?

As Lin Xun stroked the ice-cold bow body with his fingertips, a strange feeling came to his heart.
