Chapter 99: The Rage in a Desperate Situation

This district examination was indeed different from those in the past.

A scheduled additional test was already a first for the district examination in Donglin City. But the fact that Lin Xuns name didnt appear on the list of those who successfully passed stirred up another storm.

No one expected something like that to happen.

However, Lin Xun knew that this was unavoidable. The people who he had formed enemies with wouldnt easily let him pass the district examination and leave Donglin City.

And everything that had happened demonstrated that his prediction was correct.

Lin Xun had no time to be angry, had no time to hate anyone, and had no time to feel upset or indignant. He had to do everything he could to save himself.

His reasoning told him that anger, hatred, sorrow, and indignation were useless in such a situation. His priority now was to save himself.

His present situation had become extremely tense, and even though there were no swords or spears in sight, there was great danger laying low everywhere. The slightest carelessness could lead to a serious accident.

It was just that, although Lin Xun was gambling everything, he had overlooked one person

Yao Tuohai!

At that moment, Wu Chaoqun and Yu Canglin were weighing up the pros and cons of slaughtering Lin Xun, but Yao Tuohai, who had been watching on the side, finally spoke up.

As he sat up straight, his graceful expression was still as gentle as before, but his voice was full of majesty and entered straight to the heart. This district examination had been dragged on for far too long. Lets capture this boy first and take him out of the examination venue. I will report the matter to the empire later.

The sentence that he said in a nonchalant manner was simple and direct. It was as though he was saying that it didnt matter who was right or wrong. He would take Lin Xun away first and he would personally explain to other people if anything happened in the future. He was going to take full responsibility for the matter.

His move was equivalent to sentencing Lin Xun to death!

This was Yao Tuohai! Once he opened his mouth and spoke, it was akin to a devastating thunderboltthere was no room to turn around at all.

Lin Xuns heart suddenly sank to the bottom of his chest. He had been in constant conflict with Yu Canglin and Wu Chaoqun, fighting battles of wits and courage. But the only person who he couldnt see through was Yao Tuohai, who hadnt uttered a word.

He originally thought that since Yao Tuohai was an external chief examiner and he was well-known, he didnt want to be dragged into the storm and he showed this through his silence. Who would have thought that he launched a fatal blow at Lin Xun the moment he opened his mouth!

He had completely caught Lin Xun off guard!

Upon hearing Yao Tuohais final decision, Yu Canglin and Wu Chaoqun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a mocking and cold gleam came to their eyes as they glanced at Lin Xun. Little trash, you think you stirred up towering waves, but in the end you cant even survive the suppression of a big shot! So pitiful!

To the rest of the people, the words of Yao Tuohai, the chief examiner, was like a divine needle that stabilized the sea and determined everything!

Excitement.

Commotion.

Smugness.

Cheering.

The still and silent atmosphere suddenly seemed to explode. Everyone knew that Lin Xun was at the end of the road and couldnt reverse the situation!

Lian Fei also smiled. He was so excited that his face was flushing. He hated the fact that he couldnt throw his head back and roar to the sky. After all, it hadnt been easy to get rid of Lin Xun!

What did I say just now? He cant escape death as long as my father is around! Yao Susu said smugly and the corners of her lips curled upwards.

Hurry up and capture that boy! Yu Canglin roared on the platform.

A teacher of Donglin Academy who was already called out and was waiting on the side assumed a chilling murderous look upon hearing those words.

Wait!

Mu Wansu sprang up, her beautiful face bore a look of panic but also a hint of determination. She gritted her teeth and said, Everyone, please calm down. Lin Xun is someone who the First Young Master of my family regards highly of. He is definitely not a bad person.

Everyone on the platform was dumbstruck. They immediately realized who the First Young Master that Mu Wansu spoke of was and their expressions uncontrollably changed.

Shi Xuan!

The son of Fortune God Shi!

Lin Xun actually caught Shi Xuans attention!

Would Mu Wansu dare to lie? She wouldnt dare to. At least she wouldnt dare to lie using Shi Xuans name. So what she said is definitely true.

It was also because of this that Yu Canglin and Wu Chaoqun felt aggrieved. The boy is about to be captured, how could there be such a sudden change?

However, Yao Tuohai furrowed his eyebrows and said displeasedly. It doesnt matter who is behind this boy. He has to be severely punished for todays matter. As the chief examiner of this district examination, I don't need anyone to tell me what to do!

What kind of person was Yao Tuohai? He was already highly regarded by the minister of the empire thirty years ago. In the entire empires southwest province, only Liu Wujun could be compared to him. Although he didnt have absolute authority, he was a leading figure and wouldn't be frightened by one sentence.

No matter how powerful Shi Xuan was, he was still just the son of Fortune God Shi. Yao Tuohai would only give him face if he came in person.

However, they shouldnt even think about it if they wanted Yao Tuohai to take back what he said!

Mu Wansus beautiful face turned deathly pale. She was out of her wits and had lost all hope. It indeed bode ill rather than well for Lin Xun. It would be difficult for him to reverse the situation.

However, Yu Canglin and Wu Chaoqun were completely relieved. They incessantly smiled coldly. Its useless even if you bring out the name of Fortune God Shi. Lin Xun, Lin Xun, who in the world can save you now?

Boom!

Suddenly, Mister Xi, a teacher of Donglin Academy, took action. He was a stern middle-aged man but also a Spirit Dipper Stage expert. Without a word, he made a move. He took a step forward and charged straight towards Lin Xun like an exploding rainbow. His movements were swift, fierce and imposing.

As for Lin Xun, he drew a deep breath, and determination filled his eyes. He knew that he had been driven to a desperate situation, but he wouldnt give up so easily.

However, just when Lin Xun was about to do something, a sharp whistle pierced the air and stung everyones eardrums.

A bone spear appeared out of nowhere. It was flowing with fine silvery starlight that reacted with the air to release a terrifying power. It aimed straight for the middle-aged man.

The stern middle-aged mans face suddenly changed as he fiercely swatted it away.

Boom!

A terrifying collision instantly rang out and indescribable shock waves swept out like hurricanes in all directions. The nearby cultivators were blasted away before they could even react, and a sudden commotion broke out.

The stern middle-aged man reeled back a few steps, his face alternating between blue and white. He was both shocked and furious that someone dared to use violence in Donglin Academy!

Not only did the stern middle-aged man act that way, but Yao Tuohai, Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others on the platform also all simultaneously shifted their gaze to next to Lin Xun.

There stood a little girl in a black windproof robe. A wave of qi during exchange had lifted the hat that covered her face, revealing her beautiful little fair face that made the world dim in comparison.

She held a two-foot bone spear in a tight grip as she stood quietly beside Lin Xun. If one hadnt seen it with their own eyes, one would find it impossible to imagine how such a little girl could take on the stern middle-aged man at the Spirit Dipper Stage!

However, soon, everyones attention was shifted elsewhere. They couldnt help but feel captivated by the little girls stunning face.

The clamorous square suddenly fell silent and still, and even Yao Tuohai looked stunned.

Too beautiful!

She was perfect like a masterpiece from heaven. Her beauty seemed to not belong to the human world, yet she was only a little girl of around five to six years old. That impact of her beauty was enough to turn all living beings upside down!

Lin Xun sighed. He could see no one else but Xia Zhi. You should leave first. Even if I unfortunately die here, you can avenge me in the future.

Xia Zhi shook her head. If youre gone, my world will be dark forever. I wont even have any meaning to live.

She didnt say anything about dying together, but her words still made Lin Xun's heart tremble and complex emotions swirled in his heart.

You have to go!

Lin Xun suddenly gritted his teeth and uttered in a voice that only Xia Zhi could hear. You say you wont have any meaning to live? Remember the faces of everyone on the platform except Mu Wansu and kill them all. Then, I can die content!

Xia Zhi frowned, lifted her head and ran her eyes over everyone on the platform. A coldness flowed out her clear and dark crescent-shaped eyes.

Before Xia Zhi said anything, Yao Tuohai fumed, You broke into the examination venue without authorization and disrupted the district examination. Dont even think about leaving here today!

His voice quaked the entire place.

Lin Xun could no longer contain the anger that he had suppressed for so long. It flooded his body like bubbling lava and burned his whole body to the point it was about to erupt.

He didnt care about himself but when Yao Tuohai said he wouldnt let Xia Zhi leave, he lost control of his rage and it made all the indignation that he suffered today burst out from the bottom of his heart.

He had also gone berserk when he saw Xia Zhi suffer severe wounds while slaughtering Old Tiger Lu. This time, an endless rage burned like a flame in his heart and made him completely lose his rationality.

No one noticed, but blood-colored vortexes as deep as an abyss emerged in his eyes.

Only Xia Zhi noticed it. Panic-stricken, a rare nervousness surfaced on her little face. She subconsciously reached for Lin Xun's hand as she urged, Dont.

Lin Xuns heart trembled and he snapped awake from his endless rage. He looked perplexed at Xia Zhi and then glanced around to see smug and cold looks on everyones faces. I will do everything I can to create a chance for you to escape. You must run away and not care about anything else. This is an order! Do you understand?

Xia Zhi stared blankly at him for a long moment. Then, her eyes misted over and she nodded.

On the platform, Yao Tuohai couldnt help but frown. He sprang up and uttered coldly, You want to escape? As long as I am around, dont even think about it!

No one knew why Yao Tuohai would be filled with murderous intent. He had lost the calmness and composure that he usually had.

Only Yao Tuohai knew that a desire to possess suddenly surged in his heart when he saw Xia Zhi and he couldnt control or suppress it at all!

It was an instinctive desire. It was as though Xia Zhi possessed some kind of power beneath her incomparable beauty that made him want to do everything he could to possess it!
