Chapter 61 Yamazaki Strikes

"Damn it!" Lin Xing, who had been keeping a close eye on Yamazaki's side, saw that Yamazaki and his men were indeed heading toward the cave. He couldn't help but panic. Inside were utterly defenseless women and children. If they were to see such a situation, they might start slaughtering them!

Thinking of this, Lin Xing grew even more anxious, and his attacks became fiercer.

He hadn't even dealt with the situation here when another one cropped up. Lin Xing sensed a hint of danger.

Most importantly, Yamazaki had also disappeared. Lin Xing now couldn't even sense Yamazaki's presence! Yamazaki was in a completely different league compared to these others.

Compared to them, Yamazaki was on a completely different level.

Seeing that the group was about to reach the cave entrance, Lin Xing grew frantic. With a slash, he sent a Divine Wind Sect member who had just materialized flying, then immediately dashed toward the cave!

As he turned, he caught sight of people pouring out of the cave! It was actually the captives inside, who had ignored his warnings and come out. Seeing this, Lin Xing was furious and roared, "Xiao Bao! Get back inside! They'll kill you!" At the same time, he rushed toward them.

The captives who had originally been imprisoned in the cave were now out. Obviously, someone had let them out. The Divine Wind Sect members, following Yamazaki's orders, were to execute them all!

"Ah!" A scream rang out as a person was cut in half and fell to the ground. Immediately after, another person was pursued and cut down as well! In an instant, several of these defenseless women and children were hacked down!

Immediately, the air was filled with cries, screams, and wails. Seeing how cruel these men were, the women let out terrified shrieks and rushed back into the cave.

But how could their speed compare to that of the sect members? They were chased and forced back inside.

"Sister Ye!" A heart-wrenching cry echoed.

Sister Ye looked and felt her heart shatter! Xiao Bao had fallen to the ground, and behind him was a Divine Wind Sect member! The man sneered, "You little brat, let's see you run now!" With that, he brought his blade down viciously!

"Sister Ye!" Xiao Bao was frozen in terror, forgetting to dodge, forgetting everything. As he watched the blade descending toward him, his face turned deathly pale.

"Xiao Bao!" Sister Ye covered her eyes in horror, squatting on the ground. She couldn't bear to watch Xiao Bao die under the blade. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have agreed to let you come out! It's all my fault!" Sister Ye sobbed.

Xiao Bao stared at the gleaming blade as it swiftly descended toward him. In that instant, his mind went completely blank, and he stood there dazed. The only thing he could do was wait for death!

"Xiao Bao! Dodge!" Lin Xing, who was flying toward them, was horrified to see this, but it was already too late. No matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the speed of the descending blade!

"Xiao Bao! Get away!" Lin Xing gathered his Zhen Qi and hurled his weapon at the man trying to kill Xiao Bao! At the same time, he accelerated even further, rushing toward the cave.

The long blade, infused with Lin Xing's full Nine Yang Zhen Qi, whistled through the air like a meteor, instantly reaching the back of the man trying to kill Xiao Bao! Before the man could react, the blade pierced straight through his chest from behind! Its force unabated, it dragged the man away and pinned him against the cave wall!

At the same time, Lin Xing arrived, springing into action. With a few ruthless strikes, he dispatched the men who were wreaking havoc among the defenseless crowd. He glanced around and saw that many more had died—at least a third of the people from earlier were gone.

Lin Xing couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. Life was just too fragile.

"Xiao Bao! Get up, you're safe now." Lin Xing walked over and patted the terrified Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao stared blankly at Lin Xing. He had thought he was going to die, but at the last moment, he was saved. Even now, he hadn't fully processed it. Then, he burst into tears with a loud "Waa!"

"Xiao Bao. Go to Sister Ye!" Lin Xing picked up Xiao Bao and brought him to Sister Ye, handing him over.

"Sister Ye, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Xiao Bao asked with concern.

"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao is dead, killed!" Sister Ye still kept her head down, covering her eyes as she sobbed in pain.

But then she suddenly realized, "Xiao Bao, you're okay! That's wonderful!" Sister Ye tightly hugged Xiao Bao in her arms!

"Brother Lin Xing saved me. Cough, cough..."

"What's wrong? Are you injured?" Sister Ye asked with concern.

"Sister Ye..." Xiao Bao coughed a few more times. "You're hugging me too tight, I can't breathe. Cough, cough..."

Sister Ye hastily loosened her grip and said gratefully to Lin Xing, "Young Master Lin, thank you for saving Xiao Bao again!"

"No need for thanks. You should go back inside now, and this time, don't come out. Wait until I've dealt with the people outside before you come out!"

"Look out!" Lin Xing grabbed both of them and flung them inside! With his skillful force, they landed softly on the ground, as if someone were gently lowering them.

At the same time, Lin Xing swiftly moved to the left, simultaneously launching a palm strike toward the spot where he had just been standing.

"Ah!" Two screams rang out as Xiao Bao and the others saw a wound the size of a palm suddenly appear on Lin Xing's body! Blood was gushing from the wound!

"Bang!" Lin Xing's palm strike missed, hitting the ground instead. The surroundings fell silent once more.

It turned out that while Lin Xing and the others were talking, he suddenly sensed a murderous intent rushing toward him! At the same time, he felt a weapon slicing horizontally from his right!

In an instant, Lin Xing detected an unusual ripple in the air! Sensing great danger, he had no time to think. He threw Xiao Bao and Sister Ye away, then swiftly dodged.

But he was still a step too slow. If Lin Xing had only dodged by himself, with his speed, he could have completely avoided the attack unscathed. However, in that case, Xiao Bao and Sister Ye would have inevitably been cut in two.

Lin Xing couldn't do that. At the critical moment, he saved them first, but in doing so, he was injured!

"Brother Lin Xing, (Young Master Lin Xing), you're hurt!" Xiao Bao and the others cried out in alarm.

"It's nothing serious," Lin Xing said, using his spiritual sense to monitor his surroundings. "Go inside, quickly!" Lin Xing was afraid the invisible person would try to kill them, and if that happened, he might truly be powerless to stop it. The only thing he could do now was urge them to leave as soon as possible.

"Brother Lin Xing..." Xiao Bao wanted to say something more. "Xiao Bao, let's go inside first. We shouldn't disturb Young Master Lin!" With that, she dragged Xiao Bao and quickly walked inside.

"Now, I can focus on dealing with you! Yamazaki!" Lin Xing used the properties of his Zhen Qi to temporarily treat his bleeding wound, then concentrated his mind, paying close attention to his surroundings.

Lin Xing could sense Yamazaki was nearby, but his stealth was too good. So far, he hadn't revealed any openings.

This was also due to Lin Xing's lack of combat experience in such situations.

Suddenly, Lin Xing's lips curled into a slight smile as he slowly moved toward his right.
