Chapter 1081: Killed with a Flick
"Damn it, how can there be a group of fierce beasts charging at us like this?" Lin Shanhai couldn't help but curse.
His recently recovered injuries and Immortal Essence were, once again, mostly depleted in the pursuit by these fierce beasts.
The most crucial thing was, he had used up a top-grade array.
When dealing with Liu Bai Ru earlier, he hadn't been willing to use it.
But now, it was lost just like that for no reason.
"Dad, why do I feel something's not right, those fierce beasts seem to be targeting us on purpose," Lin Wu said with a frown.
"I also think it's a bit unusual, but who would aim at us?" Lin Shanhai similarly pondered.
Suddenly, Lin Shanhai and Lin Wu simultaneously spread their palms open, then looked up towards the front.
In their sight, three figures slowly emerged from the gray energy, appearing in front of them.
Seeing these three appear, they were extremely surprised.
Indeed, these three were Xu Nian, Shi Guangxu, and Mei Ji, who had rushed over.
Earlier, Xu Nian had always been using the top-grade array to cover the aura of the tracking talisman in their hands, only just now intentionally releasing it.
So Lin Shanhai and them had just discovered their presence.
"It's you? I didn't expect you to still be alive." Lin Wu was a bit shocked to see Xu Nian and the others, but soon a mocking expression appeared on his face.
If it were someone else, they might still be on guard.
But the three people before them were all at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. No matter if Xu Nian was a top-grade array master among them, so what?
In the face of absolute strength, killing him was still a breeze.
However, Lin Shanhai frowned slightly, feeling a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He was contemplating a question. They had already concealed their aura on the tracking talisman, so how did these three juniors find them?
Could it be a coincidence?
But that would be too much of a coincidence!
And could the earlier group of fierce beasts also be related to these three?
Xu Nian heard Lin Wu's mockery, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Shi Guangxu was furious, directly speaking out: "You're not dead, so how could we be?"
"Insolent, this is no place for you to speak!" Lin Wu, hearing this, was also angered, glaring at Shi Guangxu directly.
He had long been displeased with this guy. Previously, he had contradicted him while with the Guihai Family.
In his view, a late-stage Tribulation Crossing expert being disrespectful to him was simply courting death.
Shi Guangxu, seeing Lin Wu's anger, also wore a slight scornful mockery at the corner of his mouth.
This mockery made Lin Wu even more furious.
"Master Lin, did you suffer injuries?" Xu Nian ignored Lin Wu and turned to Lin Shanhai, asking with a cold smile.
Lin Shanhai's brow furrowed once more, he kept feeling that there was something off about this young man in front of him.
But he couldn't pinpoint what was off.
"Just now, we encountered a group of fierce beasts attacking, so we suffered some injuries. How did you find us?" Lin Shanhai coldly asked.
Xu Nian hearing Lin Shanhai's question, knew that Lin Shanhai was suspecting them, so he candidly said: "We just happened to follow that group of fierce beasts here, and didn't expect to witness Master Lin's formidable strength, single-handedly taking on three high-level fierce beasts, truly impressive."
With those words, Lin Shanhai's face immediately changed.
"Hmph, you knew we were being chased by fierce beasts but didn't help," Lin Wu, still unaware of Xu Nian's underlying message, said self-righteously.
However, his words fell on the ears of Xu Nian and the others as nothing more than a joke.
Lin Shanhai couldn't help but glare at his son; his usually clever son still didn't understand.
It was very clear that the other side had already told them that the group of fierce beasts was lured by them.
Otherwise, how could Xu Nian and the others approach without them noticing?
What Lin Shanhai didn't expect was that these three were also capable of concealing the aura on the tracking talisman.
Lin Wu was glared at by his father and finally understood, glaring fiercely at Xu Nian and the others.
"It was you who lured those fierce beasts, what are you intending to do? Mei Ji, they're violating regulations, doesn't your Tianbao Pavilion care?" Lin Wu immediately looked at Xu Nian and the others, eventually questioning Mei Ji.
Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu exchanged a glance, the scorn in their eyes growing deeper.
Lin Wu was truly trying to bite back, even at this point still attempting to claim moral superiority.
"Who violated the regulations first? What you did to Master Liu, you think I don't know about that." Mei Ji also snorted coldly, looking at Lin Wu with eyes filled with contempt.
Lin Wu's hypocrisy made her feel nauseated.
Both Lin Wu and Lin Shanhai were stunned, simultaneously looking around.
Xu Nian, seeing this, immediately understood their intentions: "Don't bother looking, Sister Liu isn't here, it's me who's come to settle accounts with you!"
"And me!" Shi Guangxu followed.
Lin Shanhai, hearing this, looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
Lin Wu sneered, disdainfully saying: "With just you, you want to cause us trouble, you truly think being a top-grade array master means anything to us?"
In his view, Xu Ping was merely a low-level array master whom he could easily slay before he even had the chance to deploy his array.
As for Shi Guangxu, he didn't even consider him at all.
"Then you can try!" Xu Nian chuckled lightly.
"Since you're asking for death, I'll oblige." Lin Wu's eyes filled with killing intent.
The next moment, a battle saber appeared in his hand, his figure transforming into a streak of extreme lightning, instantly arriving in front of Xu Nian.
The battle saber in his hand swept towards Xu Nian.
The sword light was infused with the ultimate Thunderclap Power, he had already achieved the First Level Domain in Thunderclap Speed Profound Argumentation.
He was confident that Xu Ping wouldn't have time to react to this strike.
However, seeing the incoming lightning-fast sword light, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth.
Without any apparent action, Xu Nian shifted slightly to the left.
The blade's edge swept past the tip of his nose.
"This... how could this be possible?" Lin Wu was shocked, not expecting his strike to be evaded.
Was it a coincidence?
It must be a coincidence.
Lin Wu whispered to himself.
The next moment, Lin Wu attempted to retrieve his saber and slash again.
"Is this your confidence?" However, at this moment, Xu Nian's playful voice reached his ears.
"Not good, Wu'er, retreat quickly!" In the distance, Lin Shanhai's face changed abruptly, trying to dash forward.
But given the distance, he was too far, unable to provide timely help.
Lin Wu's face also changed drastically, for he saw Xu Nian's hand, like a phantom, appear above his forehead.
"No..." Lin Wu felt a fear of death, wanting to retreat to evade Xu Ping's attack.
But his speed was too slow to react.
Xu Nian coldly smiled, looking at the utterly terrified Lin Wu.
Stretching out his finger, he flicked it on Lin Wu's forehead.
"Boom!"
A burst of thunder!
Blood mist erupted!
Lin Wu's entire body flew backward like a thrown stone.
Blood spilled, dyeing the skies red.
