Chapter 523: Their True Faces
A wave shot out from the blade of the crooked sword and sliced through the air, leaving a trail on the ground while it came at Lin Xuan Qi.
Whoosh.
It missed with Lin Xuan Qi sidestepping to the right.
The wave was only a few inches away from him and his hair flew in the air when the wave passed by.
"What the hell...." Hei exclaimed in surprise and his fellow disciples also got into action.
Mei nocked an arrow and aimed at Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi saw it and he took out the horn, pointing it at Mei.
Crackle.
A crackling sound could be heard and lightning appeared from the horn. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
And before Mei could release the arrow, he unleashed the lightning at her.
Bam!
The lightning came at her in an instant and she was too slow to dodge it.
"Argh! My hands." Her bow and arrow were hurled into the air and she gave out a loud cry in pain.
She dropped to her knees and trembled when the pain of her hands being blown into smithereens hit her.
"Die! You piece of shit!" Kok grabbed the chains that were wrapped around his body and he hurled them towards Lin Xuan Qi.
Lin Xuan Qi was ready for him.
Rocks rose from the ground and they blocked Lin Xuan Qi from the path of the chains.
Crack.
The chains hit onto the rocks and the rocks were smashed into smaller pieces.
But when the chains continued on their path, Lin Xuan Qi was gone.
"Where is he?" Hei shouted and glanced around.
Kok also scanned the area and he also couldn’t see where Lin Xuan Qi was.
Then, all of a sudden, Hei gave out a scream.
Something hit him and he tumbled across the ground.
When he stopped, Lin Xuan Qi appeared in front of him with his hammers.
Hei quickly swiped his hooked sword at Lin Xuan Qi’s ankle, hoping to be able to get the hooked end of his sword to lodge into it.
Thud.
Lin Xuan Qi didn’t let him.
Rocks rose from the ground again and they protected Lin Xuan Qi from it.
Hei glanced at Kok and Mei to see if they could help him. freewebnovel.cσ๓
But Mei was still in pain with blood spurting out from the wounds of her severed hands.
Kok was trying to get to them but there was still some distance.
He lifted his head and glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.
Why did he try to rob this man? He thought and regretted his decision.
They had gotten some Spirit Stones earlier from some of the rogue cultivators and they thought that Lin Xuan Qi would be the same.
What a mistake it was.
That was the last thought Hei had when he saw the hammers of Lin Xuan Qi coming down onto him.
Dang!
When the hammers hit, the metallic ring filled the air and Hei’s head was beaten to a pulp.
"No! I’m going to gut you when I lay my hands on you!" Kok shouted and he unleashed his chains at Lin Xuan Qi again.
Lin Xuan Qi leaped into the air, and swapped his hammers for the horn.
He pointed the horn at Kok and the familiar crackling sound could be heard.
Bam!
The lightning strikes descended onto Kok and Kok tried to wield his chains to block them.
However, he was too slow compared to the speed of lightning and the lightning strikes hit him before he could do so.
Splatter.
The lightning strikes hit and left a gaping hole in his chest, ripping out the flesh, bones and heart of Kok.
And Kok collapsed onto the ground in the next moment.
Mei knew that she would be next and she staggered back onto her feet and tried to get away.
But it was too late for her.
Lin Xuan Qi appeared at her side and swung his hammers at her head.
They smashed into it and half of her head caved in from the impact.
She staggered from left to right for a few steps before she dropped to the ground like the others.
A few Spirit Stones rolled from her sleeves and stopped at Lin Xuan Qi’s feet.
Lin Xuan Qi took the Spirit Stones and he continued on his way.
He would rummage through the bodies of the three of them to see if there was anything of value if he had time.
But unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury to do so.
This encounter took up more of his time and he was worried that Lao Er and Ling Er might not be safe anymore.
These cultivators were anything but upright and righteous in the secret realm from what he had seen so far.
And he had better get to the old temple before something serious happened to Lao Er and Ling Er.
When Lin Xuan Qi got to the city walls, he took a leap and he flew into the air.
He landed onto the top of the city walls and he was able to see into the distance from it.
There was an ancient forest and further away from it, a tower stood.
And to the side there was an ancient battlefield.
He recalled that these were what the other cultivators had said when they saw the opening of the secret realm, proving to him that they were assigned to start in different regions of the secret realm.
Thankfully, it would mean that he would be able to reach Lao Er and Ling Er in the old temple.
Lin Xuan Qi scanned the horizon and he gave out a sigh of relief when he saw an old temple in the west.
He didn’t know how far away it was from him but one thing for sure was that he would have to cross the ancient forest to reach there.
Thud.
Lin Xuan Qi leaped down onto the ground from the city walls and he landed outside of the city.
Without any hesitation he took another leap and flew in the air towards the old temple.
His ability to fly at the level of Foundation Establishment could not be sustained for more than a few hundred meters but it was better than bashing through the thick foliage and greens of the ancient forest.
Whoosh.
As he was flying, something shot at him from the ground.
