Chapter 162: The Power of RFS (Reaching for the Stars)
Translator: Flying-Lines
Voodoo-barbarian Tribe was divided into nine branches which were just like nine small countries.
Each branch had enormous forces and numerous strong barbarians.
The relations among the nine branches were extremely complex, with competition and cooperation, mutual suspicion and deception, as well as proper respect and assistance.
Anyway, they would choose to work together when they face enemies, even though there was also hatred between them.
This was the wit of survival; otherwise, Voodoo-barbarian Tribe could not coexist with Abyss Devil Spirit and Moon-ghost Ethnic in the Empire of the Dark, and could not confront the Ziyao Empire to this extent, either.
So at this moment, when they saw the unusual scene that Water Barbarians were defeated by a human teenager in absolute advantages, all branches of barbarians in this area came to support Water Barbarians at the same time.
There were many strong ninth-level barbarian slaves in the fifty barbarians.
When they joined in the battle, Lin Xun felt the pressure immediately.
His pace of killing and moving forward slowed down, and the original unconquerable momentum was restrained to some extent.
Boom!
A huge sword covered with fire came like a threatening dancing fire dragon.
Zip!
A sharp golden spear glittering with a chilly light tore the air apart.
Dong!
The air was oppressed as if a mountain was shaken when a huge hammer swept down.
Hum…
A rope-like black vine sprang up from the ground, dancing in the air like a snake, which was ready to attack Lin Xun.
This series of attacks were almost launched in a flash from different directions to lay siege to Lin Xun.
Overmatches took actions together!
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, twisted his body, and suddenly backed three steps to crush a black rattan, and then he brandished his saber for more than ten times in a row.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dense collisions sounded like drumbeats, and the explosion of air produced terrible blasts, which pushed the barbarians within a more than 33-meter radius back.
Although he withstood the round of attacks, Lin Xun was forced to back three steps, which was the first time he had retreated since the battle!
“Pretty well, he should be able to withstand our joint attacks. This human boy is not weaker than Zhao Yin,” the man with the golden spear was surprised. He had long golden hair and even his starry eyes were golden.
He was Rui Huaji, one of the strong Gold Barbarians of the young generation.
Beside Rui Huaji, the Fire Barbarian with a huge flame sword was Pasun, the Earth Barbarian with a huge hammer was Min Jiang, and the Wood Barbarian with a cane was Hua Caiyi. They were all outstanding Voodoo-barbarians of the young generation.
Shrizi, a strong barbarian from Water Barbarian Branch, joined in the battle at the same time. That meant five strong barbarians of young generation respectively from five branches came out together to lay siege to Lin Xun.
But their joint attacks failed to hurt Lin Xun. This made them felt shocked and realize that Lin Xun was a hard nut.
“Whoever you are, I’ll kill you at this time!” Pasun shouted and rushed at Lin with his huge flame sword.
“That’s exactly what I mean,” Rui Huaji gave an arrogant laugh, and waved his golden spear, whose power swept the surrounding area.
“Kill!”
Min Jiang, Hua Caiyi and Shrizi also launched attacks together.
In a split second, Lin Xun lost his overwhelming posture; he had to defend himself passively, continuously retreated and cut a sorry figure.
This was really a deadly siege.
Five outstanding young barbarians united in attacking Lin Xun. It was conceivable that the threat posed to Lin was so great.
For the other ordinary trainees in the Bloodthirsty Camp, they wouldn’t be able to ward off the blows and might have died.
Although Lin Xun was not killed in an instant, his situation became dangerous all of a sudden. In a short time, he had several bloody wounds on his body.
At this moment, all the other barbarians who besieged Lin Xun stepped aside to make a great space for the five top barbarians to exert their power fully.
Lin Xun’s retreat had been cut off completely!
The sudden change of the situation made the imperial practitioners who were watching the battle from afar unable to react properly.
“It’s hard to predict what will happen at the next moment. Who could have thought that such a change would happen?”
Some people felt sorry for Lin Xun.
“Fortunately, I did not make a move; otherwise, I will be in the same dilemma as Lin Xun.”
Some people considered themselves lucky.
“Shall we take the opportunity to kill some barbarians? Lin Xun has restrained many overmatches and this is a good opportunity to kill more barbarians.”
Some people wanted to pick easy military merits.
“Don’t you notice that there are hundreds of strong barbarians in the field? Are you insane to risk your life to gain military merits at this time?”
Some others poured cold water on this idea.
“Damn it! We are all imperial practitioners! How can we just see Lin Xun fight alone and be murdered by those barbarians?”
Some people resented the attitude of other practitioners who looked on indifferently.
“War is cruel. This is not the time to preach morality. As a qualified soldier, we should, based on the overall situation, analyze the pros and cons, and avoid acting on impulse; otherwise, we will get ourselves killed!”
Some people rebuked loudly.
The scene was chaotic, but in any case, no one was willing to step in and help Lin Xun kill the enemies.
It was the nature of people to draw on advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it was also the deep-rooted inferiority of human beings.
…
Puff!
As the golden spear flashed, Lin Xun suffered another wound in the waist.
He was bathed in blood from enemies and himself now, which made he look like a bloody man. He was now in a terrible mess.
Only his face remained calm and his dark eyes were deep and cold.
Although Lin Xun kept dodging and was suppressed, his movements had never been slightly slow. He still waved the saber precisely and stably, without any disorder.
“You’re going to die today, badass!” Shrizi sneered with a grossly offensive expression on his handsome face.
Water Barbarians suffered heavy casualties today! More than fifty barbarians were killed by Lin Xun. The cost was too terrible.
The most important thing was that Amrita Saint Pearl was still in the hands of Lin Xun!
“According to his fighting capacity, he must be one of the top trainees in Bloodthirsty Camp. Such a man can hardly be hunted. So, we must not let he go on every account this time,” Rui Huaji said coldly.
“Cut the crap. The young practitioner must be killed, otherwise he will become one formidable adversary hindering our attacks on the Ziyao Empire in the future,” Hua Caiyi said with a murderous look on the face.
As they talked, they launched attacks; obviously, they regarded Lin Xun as a lamb to be slaughtered.
Lin Xun heard their conversation. Suddenly, a curve appeared around his lips. He seemed to smile, and said, “Do you really think you can keep me here today?”
Shrizi and the other four strong barbarians were in a trance. All of them were keenly aware that Lin Xun seemed to be gathering another kind of terrible power at this moment. But the power was faintly discernible, bringing a warning to them!
“Kill him right now!”
They launched the most violent attacks spontaneously, respectively with the golden spear, huge hammer, flame sword, cane and dagger.
All kinds of horrible attacks emerged endlessly and worked with each other, turning into a terrible net of killing. They wanted to completely destroy Lin Xun in one action.
However –
At this moment, Lin Xun suddenly took a deep breath, and an overweening look flickered across his face in an instant, as if he was a king looking down at his courtiers, or a supernatural being leisurely roaming around the void.
An amazing wave of power surged like lava in a volcano which accumulated power in the abyss, suppressed its power for a long time and exploded suddenly at this point!
Clang!
When the sound of saber arose, people did not see how Lin Xun made a move at all. They felt as if they saw a night sky, and stars suddenly dropping from the sky and sinking into endless darkness. At that moment, it seemed that the doomsday was coming, everything collapsed, and the universe changed abruptly!
The terrible power, like a real flood, submerged all their thoughts, minds, souls…
“Reaching for the Stars (RFS)!”
In an instant, a saber emerged in the air, tearing the sky and the darkness!
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Shrizi saw Rui Huaji’s head fly up, and his face was full of perplexity.
Min Jiang was cut in two at the waist and the blood gushed out; he seemed unconscious and lost as if he was dreaming.
Half of Pasun’s head was split off…
Hua Caiyi’s body suddenly exploded.
How could this happen?
Was this a dream?
Shrizi was confused and frustrated, but in a moment, he felt a terrible pain, and then he suddenly found that his own body was still in situ but without head…
So…
The moment before he died, Shrizi finally realized that his head had already been cut off like others!
…
With that clang, the spirit of those strong barbarians around Lin seemed to be captured, and they uncontrollably felt the great terror. In a trance, they felt as if they fell into the darkness, and could only see stars falling continuously.
When they woke up, they saw Lin standing with his saber in his arms and his bloody clothes fluttering in the wind.
At his feet, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowing. The five top strong barbarians of young generation who had besieged Lin Xun were now… all died on the spot!
A perfect silence prevailed!
An indescribable fear filled everyone’s heart. What happened just now?
Why was the battle over in an instant?
How could Shrizi, Rui Huaji, Min Jiang, Pasun, and Hua Caiyi be killed at the same time!
Was there a top master?
The atmosphere was oppressively silent, and stifling. All barbarians in the place were subjected to an unprecedented shock.
It was too scary!
It was just like a nightmare. When they woke up, all strong barbarians were dead!
In the area near the volcano, the imperial practitioners who looked on coldly were all in a daze, wide-eyed and tongue-tied like ducks whose necks were grabbed.
During the several seconds…
What exactly happened!?
Yes, even they did not see clearly what had happened at that moment. They thought that Lin Xun was doomed to die, so they didn’t need to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the five young barbarians who had besieged Lin Xun were all killed on the spot!
It was unbelievable!
