Chapter 60 Yamazaki

At the very start of the battle, Lin Xing instantly wounded Gao Xiong and killed one of them!

His clean, efficient techniques and extraordinary movement skills made Lin Xing appear like a harbinger of death! The surrounding people dared not approach!

The corner of Lin Xing's mouth quirked up in a slight smile as he swept a glance over the people around him. "Dealing with these people isn't a problem, but that Yamazaki over there seems utterly confident. I don't know what trick he's plotting. If he accidentally fell into his trap, it would be over. Besides, that guy looks dangerous no matter how you look at him!"

He glanced at Gao Xiong, who was lying on the ground howling in pain. He was probably almost out of the fight now. After all, having lost a foot, a normal person would have lost the ability to move.

Since Gao Xiong and Yamazaki could no longer team up, the threat to Lin Xing was reduced a bit. So now, he would deal with these small fry first!

Lin Xing's gaze swept coldly over those surrounding him. Only a portion had come forward to encircle him; others were still behind, not advancing. But Lin Xing's biggest worry was that they would break into the cave where the prisoners were held. If that happened, all his previous efforts would truly be wasted.

*Don't blame me if you die!* Besides, they're all bad people. Lin Xing absolutely would not show any mercy now. With a cold look in his eyes, he silently circulated his Zhen Qi, channeling it into the long blade in his hand. Infused with Nine Yang Zhen Qi, the blade actually emitted a faint white glow! The bright, polished metal shimmered with light!

Lin Xing raised his hand, holding the long blade diagonally with the tip pointing downward. Step by step, he walked toward them.

Instantly, the only sounds in the entire area were Lin Xing's faint, almost imperceptible footsteps and the tense, ragged breathing of the men.

Watching Lin Xing approach step by step, they subconsciously retreated step by step, fearing Lin Xing would kill them with a single move.

Under Lin Xing's invisible pressure and deliberately cultivated tension, finally, one enemy cracked. With a shout, he leaped into the air, swinging his blade down at Lin Xing!

"Attack!" The rest finally seized the opportunity and swarmed forward!

Looking at this enemy who leaped into the air and swung at him, Lin Xing gave a disdainful smile. *A nobody like this wants to kill me? Don't they know that attacking while leaping in the air is a major taboo?*

Lin Xing ignored the man charging him. He lightly took a step and flashed behind that person. Then, with a flick of his wrist, his blade shot out at an impossible angle and speed, lightly slicing across the person's neck. After that, Lin Xing continued stepping forward.

Only then did the man react, turning his head to look at Lin Xing: "So... fast..." he said, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Only then did a wound suddenly split open on his neck, and crimson blood gushed forth! Lin Xing had cut him down with a single, light slash! Clean and efficient!

Lin Xing moved as if strolling through a courtyard, walking leisurely amidst the heavy encirclement. This wasn't because Lin Xing was overwhelmingly powerful, but because his movement techniques were uncanny. He always avoided harm by a hair's breadth. Their blades hadn't even touched Lin Xing!

"I heard people from the Bage Country all possess a special skill!" Lin Xing mused, as if to himself. "If you don't use it, the next one to die will be you!" Seizing an opening, Lin Xing swung his blade and killed another enemy!

Lin Xing's words were like a wake-up call. They reminded these members of the Divine Wind Sect. Suddenly, one of the men in front of Lin Xing vanished. Lin Xing only felt the space blur slightly, and then the person disappeared from sight. Then a second, a third...

Finally, the area, once crowded, was now completely empty.

"Invisibility?" Lin Xing smiled slightly. "Amusing, but it won't work on me!" Lin Xing suddenly moved, his long blade slicing through the air! "Hmph!" A pained grunt sounded, and a figure gradually materialized in front of Lin Xing.

"I told you, these tricks are useless against me!" Lin Xing spoke out. At the same time, he blocked with his blade to the right, while his foot shot out in a vicious kick toward the empty space behind him!

"Crack!" The crisp sound of breaking bone echoed. A figure abruptly appeared. As he was kicked flying by Lin Xing, he spewed blood from his mouth. Looking at his chest, a large section had caved in. He was clearly a goner.

Slaughter! It was complete slaughter!

Yamazaki frowned, looking at the young man ahead. "Who exactly is this person? Where did he spring from? We're using our stealth techniques now, but they have no effect on him at all! Even a Sword Saint on the continent would be flustered and overwhelmed in such a situation! An ordinary Sword Saint would probably be covered in wounds by now, or might have even fled already."

"But this young man before me is handling it with incredible ease! Our people pose no threat to him at all? Looking at how relaxed he is now, he probably hasn't even used his full strength yet?"

"Terrifying!" This word suddenly surfaced in Yamazaki's mind. "This young man is truly terrifying. Could he be a Sword God?" Some Sword Gods could alter their appearance.

"But I haven't heard of any Sword God with a personality like this." Yamazaki couldn't figure out which powerful figure Lin Xing was.

No matter how Yamazaki thought about it, he would never imagine that Lin Xing was only ten years old now. Adding his experiences from his previous life, he was only in his twenties.

Yet, under the influence of the Nine Yang Divine Art, he had become incredibly powerful! Able to easily deal with these people using stealth techniques! All relying on his extraordinarily sharp spiritual sense!

Under Lin Xing's spiritual sense, these invisible people were like standing naked in front of him. Though invisible, they appeared completely exposed within Lin Xing's spiritual perception!

But they thought Lin Xing couldn't see them after they turned invisible. Little did they know, Lin Xing was taking advantage of this psychology, pretending not to see them, and carrying out the slaughter!

Actually, this stealth technique was a very good skill. The problem was that those using it had only learned the superficial aspects, and their actual skill in invisibility and stealth was simply terrible!

So now they were like targets, being slaughtered by Lin Xing! If a true master were to use it, then Lin Xing wouldn't be able to handle it so easily.

On the ground, numerous corpses piled up in no time!

Watching Lin Xing slaughter them, even if Yamazaki didn't value their lives, he had to step in. After all, if they all died, whether he could defeat Lin Xing alone was still a question!

He called over a few people who weren't participating in the encirclement and ordered: "You few, go check the cave where the prisoners are held! If there are still enemies there, kill them on the spot. As for the prisoners, if you can't control them, kill them too!" A vicious glint flashed in Yamazaki's small eyes!

He'd already figured out that Lin Xing's purpose in coming here wasn't for fun. He wasn't sure of the exact reason, but he felt the most likely possibility was for the captured people.

So now, sending some people to control those inside was the best course of action!

As for Yamazaki, he prepared to make his move against Lin Xing!

He saw Yamazaki form a strange hand seal with both hands—let's call it a seal for now. Immediately after, Yamazaki's figure gradually faded until it completely vanished.

Having turned invisible, Yamazaki slowly began to creep toward Lin Xing!
