Chapter 38 Lin Family Death Squad
Chapter 38 Lin Family Death Squad
The elder exuded a chilling aura, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, sending shivers down one's spine.
"I, Yin Wuji, have been appointed as an elder in charge of the Punishment Hall."
Yin Wuji's sinister gaze swept across the entire room, finally lingering on Lu Xuan for a moment.
"I will be keeping a close eye on you during this trial."
"I hope you will not disappoint me."
Upon seeing this person, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yin Wuji.
This must be the elder who is on good terms with the Lin family, as mentioned by Su Qinghuan.
Sensing the still terrifying aura emanating from the other party, though restrained, Lu Xuan had already made a judgment.
"A Heavenly Origin Realm expert, huh...?"
"It seems the Lin family really went to great lengths to kill me."
Lu Xuan sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
So what if you're at the Heavenly Origin Realm?
In this Demon-Hunting Forest, it remains to be seen who the hunter is and who the prey is!
……
At Elder Chi Huo's command, everyone headed towards the teleportation array.
Then the teleportation array flashed, randomly teleporting everyone to various corners of the forest.
Lu Xuan felt a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a grove of towering ancient trees.
The ancient trees all around blocked out the sun, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.
The air was filled with the smell of decaying leaves and a faint stench of blood, and from time to time, chilling roars of beasts could be heard.
"This is the Demon Hunter Forest..."
Lu Xuan looked around calmly.
He did not rush to act, but first released his divine sense, covering an area of several miles in radius.
"Hmm? Not bad luck."
Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
A hundred feet away, a one-horned rhinoceros, the size of an ox and covered in armor-like scales, was munching on a bush.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros is a demonic beast at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm, renowned for its defensive capabilities. Ordinary Spirit Sea Realm warriors find it difficult to break through its defenses.
But in Lu Xuan's eyes, he was nothing more than a moving target.
"roar!"
Sensing the presence of humans, the armored rhinoceros suddenly raised its head, let out a roar, and charged towards Lu Xuan on all fours.
The ground trembled slightly under its trampling, and its sharp horn gleamed with a cold light, enough to pierce through metal and stone.
Instead of retreating, Lu Xuan advanced, facing the behemoth charging like a tank, and casually raised his right hand.
"Too slow."
Just as the armored rhinoceros was about to collide with him, Lu Xuan slightly shifted his body, barely avoiding the fatal horn, and struck the armored rhinoceros's hard head with a palm.
"Get it through!"
Then, a surge of chaotic power pierced through its hard scales and went straight into its brain.
A muffled thud!
The massive body of the armored rhinoceros suddenly stiffened and collapsed to the ground.
He bled from all seven orifices and died.
But its exterior remained completely undamaged.
Lu Xuan skillfully dissected the beast's head; its brain had been shaken into a complete mess.
He took out a yellowish-brown demon core and casually tossed it into his storage bag.
"The first one."
For the next half hour, Lu Xuan strolled through the forest as if taking a leisurely walk.
Relying on his powerful divine sense and terrifying physical strength, he easily killed two early-stage Spirit Sea Realm demonic beasts.
For the other trial participants, this was a mission with a slim chance of survival.
But for Lu Xuan, it was as simple as picking a few fruits on a casual outing.
However, just as he put away the third demon core, he suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to the depths of the dense forest on his left.
"Is it finally coming?"
Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips, quietly waiting.
A rustling sound could be heard.
Soon, seven figures emerged from the dense forest and surrounded Lu Xuan.
The person in charge was Lin Tianjie.
At this moment, his face was filled with undisguised smugness, and the long sword in his hand gleamed coldly.
Beside him were six martial artists dressed in black, with cold and stern faces.
These six people were calm and composed, with sharp eyes, and judging from their positions, they were clearly well-coordinated.
They were assassins meticulously prepared by the Lin family.
Sending six bodyguards to protect Lin Tianjie was indeed a huge investment.
After all, one must be under twenty years old to enter this trial ground.
All six of them were at the Spirit Sea Realm, which means that they all achieved the Great Perfection of Body Tempering and advanced to the Spirit Sea Realm when they were teenagers.
"Lu Xuan, you didn't expect this, did you?"
Lin Tianjie looked at Lu Xuan, who was surrounded in the center, and let out a sinister laugh.
"Your luck is pretty good; you actually killed three Spirit Sea Realm demonic beasts?"
"However, your good luck ends here."
"The Demon-Hunting Forest may be vast, but before the Lin family's secret tracking techniques, there is nowhere to escape!"
Lu Xuan glanced at the six assassins beside him, then fixed his gaze on Lin Tianjie, his expression remaining calm.
"Seven Spirit Sea Realm cultivators?"
"That old bastard Lin Ruofu really thinks highly of me."
"But you guys? You're not enough!"
"Still talking tough even when you're about to die!"
Lin Tianjie was furious and pointed his long sword directly at Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, do you really think that just because you've gained the Emperor's favor and taken a cowardly scoundrel as your teacher, you can act with impunity?"
"Here, there's no one to turn to for help!"
"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for offending the wrong person!"
Lin Tianjie stopped talking nonsense and suddenly waved his hand.
"Quickly finish this, don't let this kid get away!"
"yes!"
The six assassins responded in unison, each brandishing their weapons and attacking Lu Xuan from different directions!
These six people were clearly skilled in combined attacks; their first move was a sure kill, sealing off all of Lu Xuan's escape routes.
With Lin Tianjie watching from the sidelines, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment, even a powerful expert in the late stage of the Spirit Sea realm would likely suffer a hidden loss in the face of such an encirclement and attack.
However, faced with this overwhelming barrage of attacks, Lu Xuan simply shook his head slightly.
"run?"
"When did I ever say I was going to run away?"
"Since you're so eager to die, then I... will grant your wish."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xuan's figure suddenly became blurry.
"Afterimage?!"
The pupils of one of the assassins at the forefront suddenly contracted, and before he could react, he felt a chill on his throat.
"Snap!"
A pale hand gripped his throat like an iron clamp.
Lu Xuan had appeared before him without him noticing, and the terrified face of the assassin was reflected in his deep eyes.
"In your next life, remember never to be an accomplice to evil."
A crisp sound.
This Lin family assassin, who possessed the cultivation level of the third stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, didn't even have time to let out a scream before his throat was crushed, and he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.
One move, instant kill!
The entire room fell silent.
The initially menacing encirclement was suddenly breached.
Lin Tianjie's smile froze on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What... what's going on?!"
"Wasn't this piece of trash only at the Body Tempering stage before?"
"Even a Spirit Sea Realm expert couldn't kill my family's assassins so easily!"
