Chapter 695: Moths to the Flame and Heroes Save the Beauty



Given their strength, they had no chance of turning the situation around!

A\'bi’s heart sank to the bottom of her chest. How could this be...

“This isn’t a trap. Some kind of change must have taken place here and has attracted many Magi Brute experts to come. We just happened to come at the right time,” Lin Xun remarked nonchalantly.

“Is that right…” His response surprised A\'bi. She realized that, even in the face of a hopeless situation, Lin Xun remained so calm and composed.

His calmness couldn’t possibly be an act.

“Are…are you not worried?” A\'bi couldn’t believe it.

But before he could respond, a cold and majestic voice boomed out again, “An unofficial team of cultivators from the human empire dares to come to the Tiger Canyon. Do you have a death wish?”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. His body was bathed in blood-colored bolts of lightning, and his hair was intertwined with blood-red sparks. His eyes glowed like a pair of blood-red suns.

He held a giant, demonic blood-red sickle in his hand that resembled a crescent moon.

“An enlightened spirit of the Lightning Tribe—She Zhen!” Liu Wen cried out, his countenance dramatically changing.

She Zhen was a notorious ruthless character on the Blood Kill Battlefield. He had earned the nickname Thunder Blood Sickle and possessed the strength of the Enlightened Spirit Stage.

Over the years, at least thousands of cultivators from the empire had died at the hands of She Zhen!

On the enlightened spirit level wanted list issued by the empire camp, She Zhen was ranked 72nd!

He was undoubtedly a terrifying enemy to deal with, but worst of all, there were eight other enlightened spirit experts with him.

The lineup was enough to make them despair.

Not only Liu Wen, but other members of the Starfrost Squad also had cold feet. Regardless of how much combat experience they had, they knew they couldn’t change the hopeless situation.

“Haha, I didn’t expect someone from such a trashy team to recognize me.” She Zhen put on a fake smile.

He was covered in blood-colored lightning from head to toe, emitting a tyrannical and domineering aura.

Even Hu Tong couldn’t help from sighing in his heart, knowing that he had the slimmest hope of turning the situation around.

“Is that guy famous?” Lin Xun asked in surprise.

A\'bi stared at him blankly, at a loss for words. She was already very troubled and anxious, but Young Master Lin still had the mood to ask about something like that.

She quickly answered, “That guy is ranked in the top 100 enlightened spirit-level wanted list. He isn’t only famous, but also notorious for being ruthless! You won’t understand this, so you should first think about how to survive this situation!”

“So, if we kill him, there will be a huge reward?” Lin Xun asked curiously.

“Kill him?”

A\'bi almost went crazy. She wished she could open up Lin Xun’s head to see what was in his brain. How can he still joke around at such a time?

The ignorant are fearless. Is he really that kind of person?

“Okay, since we’re going to die soon anyway, I’ll tell you that She Zhen’s reward is nineteen second-class military merits, eight thousand high-grade aeth crystals, a set of the highest quality aeth tools and ten bottles of special healing elixir!” A\'bi gritted her teeth. “In these years, many experts have tried to hunt and kill him, but they all failed in the end. Who would even dare to think about the reward?”

Lin Xun nodded and said nothing else.

His nonchalant response made A\'bi a little speechless. Is this guy…really not afraid?

However, just when she was about to say something, a roar rang like a clap of thunder in the Tiger Canyon.

“Why are we talking so much nonsense with them?! Kill those pesky flies before it’s too late!”

It was an Enlightened Spirit expert of the Fire Tribe. Blazing flames circulated his body like he was a demon from hell.

He was called Yan Chixing, and he was also a ruthless character of the Magi Brute Race.

“Let’s fight with everything we have!” Hu Tong bellowed, ready to fight to the death.

“Hmph, a mantis is trying to block a chariot!” Yan Chixing snorted before his figure flared up like a sea of flames and charged at Hu Tong.

“Kill!”

Even though they were in a desperate situation, they still fought with all their strength. They would rather fight and die than bow their heads. The members of the Starfrost Squad were not pushovers.

Boom!

The battle erupted. Yan Chixing and Hu Tong were immediately locked in a fierce battle.

But Liu Wen, Yang Xiong and the others were stopped by She Zhen alone!

Correct, he alone subdued Liu Wen and the others with his giant sickle.

However, he was in no hurry to end their lives. He said calmly, “Kneel at my feet and I will spare you from death and give you the treatment of prisoners.”

Liu Wen, Yang Xiong and the others reddened with rage, veins almost rupturing on their foreheads. This kind of humiliation tactic was simple and brutal, but it was also the most effective.

Lin Xun wanted to see how they would respond.

It wasn’t that he was cold-blooded, but he had been ridiculed and mocked by them far too many times along the way. He wanted to use the opportunity to see how they would act when they were humiliated.

Who would have thought that A\'bi was the first to lose control of her anger?

She gnashed her teeth and cursed, “Bastard, you have gone too far.” She swung the giant sledgehammer and, with a flash, charged at She Zhen.

“That girl is so…” Lin Xun shook his head helplessly.

“Haha, little girl, you have guts! But I won’t let you die immediately, you also must kneel first!” She Zhen exclaimed in surprise. Then, his lips quirk up in a disdainful smile and his palm thrust forward.

Boom!

A blood-red palm stamp crashed down from above, crushing everything in its way.

“Quickly run!” Yang Xiong and the others cried out.

But it was too late. A\'bi’s reaction in a fit of anger was too fast and too direct. Just like her character—straightforward and blunt.

Bang!

The moment that A\'bi swung up the sledgehammer, a rush of pain shot through her body. The force of the giant palm seemed to have shattered her bones. The sledgehammer had long crumbled in her hand.

At that moment, she was like a moth flying into a flame. Even if there was no hope of her surviving, her bravery still moved many people.

“You are just a mantis trying to block a chariot! Kneel!” She Zhen’s indifferent voice reverberated through the area as the blood-red palm stamp covered A\'bi, blocking all her escape routes.

That was the power of an Enlightened Spirit expert of the Magi Brute Race. They were equivalent to Cyclic Derivation cultivators. It was no surprise that A\'bi, who was only at the Heaven Ascension Stage, looked so insignificant and small in front of him.

A\'bi’s eyes were bloodshot, almost splitting in anger and hatred, and her savage and beautiful face was filled with determination. She showed no intention of backing down.

Even in the face of death, she would never submit!

But…

A strong unwillingness mixed with indescribable bitterness surged up within her heart at the thought that she had failed to avenge her older brother.

That had always been an issue that weighed heavily on his mind.

Unfortunately…she couldn’t resolve it...

She sighed in her heart.

Time seemed to be passing very slowly. She even noticed that many Magi Brute experts in the distance were donning mocking and cruel smiles.

She saw Hu Tong, who was locked in a fierce battle with Yan Chixing, looking at her anxiously.

She also saw the worried and helpless faces of Yang Xiong and the others…

And Liu Wen…

He…

How can he do that?!

Then, her blood ran cold. She saw a scene that chilled her...

Everything seemed to have vanished from her sight except for the blood-red hand growing larger and larger as it neared her.

Do you want me to kneel?

Impossible!

A\'bi’s eyes were wide like a berserk beast. It was as though she was prepared for the worst!

Pu!

But at that critical moment, a hole was blasted into the constantly growing palm before it exploded in front of her eyes.

At the same time, she felt her body lighten and she disappeared from the spot.

I’ve been rescued?

She muttered in a daze, but when she saw the person who saved her, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

“What…it’s you?”

Unexpectedly, the person was the little pretty boy!

Not only A\'bi was in disbelief. The Starfrost Squad members as well as the Magi Brute experts were all staring wide-eyed at Lin Xun.

Almost no one could believe that someone, under those circumstances, could defeat She Zhen’s palm strike.

Not to mention the fact that he was a teenager at the Heaven Ascension Stage!

The atmosphere seemed to have stilled and everyone seemed to be paralyzed with disbelief.

Especially Yang Xiong, Liu Wen and the others. Their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. They would never imagine the pampered and useless young master whom they regarded as a leech of the empire would rescue A\'bi at this critical moment!

It was like a dream!

How could it be possible?

“It’s my turn to have your back.”

Lin Xun ignored the gazes of shocked disbelief and set A\'bi down and patted her on the shoulder.

A\'bi’s expression could only be described as stupefied.

She never thought that it wasn’t her comrades who saved her, but instead the little pretty boy whom she protected along the way...

“What a scene! A little boy is pretending to be a hero to save the beauty in front of me! Hahaha! But I don’t care whether you are a hero or a beauty. Everyone has to kneel in front of me today and choose life and death!” She Zhen remarked indifferently.

He was surprised that a youngster could deflect his blow, but he didn’t think any more than that.

“I’ve killed many like you before. I don’t mind adding another to that list.” Lin Xun’s dark, unfathomable eyes swept over him.

“Little ant, how dare you speak so loudly when you are about to die!” She Zhen found Lin Xun’s confidence absurd.

With a flick of his sleeve, blood-red lightning roamed forward in a tyrannical manner, aiming directly for Lin Xun.
