Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Total ControlTranslator: Flying-Lines

Shriying had rushed at Lin violently even before his stern and cold voice dissipated. With his whole body shrouded in a dazzling blue light, Shriying looked terrifying.
Boom!
With Shriying’s five fingers clenching violently, the air exploded, and an invisible big hand just covered Lin Xun all over.
The blow hadn’t dropped yet, but the terrifying wind it caused had made Lin Xun’s long hair fly. Lin felt a sting on the skin all over which seemed to have been frozen.
Standing still on the spot, Lin Xun seemed to have been in a daze with fear.
With the cottage exploded into pieces, Shriying was out and launched an attack. Until this moment, this series of movements happened almost in an instant, which was incredibly swift.
If there was another practitioner here, he or she would also fail to react.
Although Lin stood still, he still looked self-composed and calm. With his black eyes fixing on the broken cottage, Lin Xun looked a little bit strange.
Since Shriying was an overmatch who was shrewd, ruthless, alert and experienced as well, Lin’s subtle anomaly caught his attention.
Did Lin have other tricks?
The moment the idea flashed through his mind, Shriying felt a blast of terrifying force surged over from all directions like invisible tentacles, which gripped his body violently and made his body that had rushed out fly backwards all of a sudden.
Bang!
His whole body was pounded onto the ground violently, and a huge cloud of dust rose. Shriying felt a burst of sharp pain all over, and couldn’t help groaning in a low voice.
At this moment, Lin Xun, who had been standing still, seemed to feel relieved, with a faint smile rising on his lips.
The cottage had become ruins. However, a circle of light appeared on the ground around the ruins at some point.
The light flowed, diffusing like ethereal mists. Mysterious and dense spiritual tattoos floated within it, radiating the spiritual lights in red, blue, red, green and black.
Overlooked from the sky, the colorful light which gushed out of the ground formed a circle around the cottage, and the spiritual lights intertwined, and the spiritual tattoos rolled with mysterious and dazzling glare.
Shriying was trapped in the circle. Although these spiritual lights looked illusory, soft, and powerless, they, like giant mountains, suppressed Shriying, who just couldn’t struggle to stand up.
His face changed suddenly, with his eyes full of astonishment. He looked a little bit stunned.
Lin Xun stood in the distance, and took out his sabre silently. He came up step by step, with his handsome face looking calm, and only an awesome atmosphere of murder spread around his body.
“This is what the small Purgatory Spiritual Formation of Five Elements is.”
Lin Xun didn’t stop his steps until he came to the periphery of the spiritual formation. Looking at Shriying who was astonished and furious, Lin said, “So you can close your eyes in death.”
Feeling a sharp pain all over, Shriying could clearly sense that streams of terrifying force were oppressing and grinding himself like millstones, and every inch of his skin was suffering.
He completely didn’t have to doubt that if it went on this way, he might be ground into a puddle of minced meat, and he would lose his life definitely!
“I indeed had underestimated you, but do you think you can kill me by virtue of this formation?”
Shriying’s voice sounded as if it was squeezed out of the slit between his teeth. His voice was husky, and low but showed no sign of anger, so it was obvious that he didn’t lose his marbles yet.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun smiled and nodded, “You’re right! Although the formation is powerful, it lacks a core thing, so there is little possibility that I can kill you by it.”
Shriying squinted his eyes. Looking at the young man in the distance, and the calm and serious expression on his face, Shriying’s heart sank for no reason.
What kind of human teenager he was?
Having hidden in the dark, Shriying had thought he would never be noticed by others. However, the young man seemed to be born with a kind of extraordinary insight, and he had not only noticed his existence, but had spent days arranging a well-designed trap.
It was not a thing that could be accomplished by an ordinary practitioner!
What shocked Shriying most was that the young man managed to arrange a spiritual formation in spite of his young age, which completely broke Shriying’s former understanding of spiritual tattooists.
Having fought for over twenty years, Shriying didn’t remember how many mighty guys of Ziyao Empire he had killed, and he knew quite well about the Ziyao Empire. He was quite clear how rare and terrifying the fact that a teenager could refine a spiritual formation just depending on his cultivation of Martial Realm was.
And now, Shriying finally felt a sense of crisis when he noticed the young man, who looked calm and deliberate, still maintained a posture of total control when facing him.
The young man must have hidden some trump card!
Shriying might be laughed at violently by his fellows if they got to know that he, who had the title of “Ghost for Assassination”, would fear a human teenager to such extent.
But for Shriying, it was totally not funny!
Therefore, this really depressed Shriying. Just a teenager of Martial Realm could make him suffer such a setback, Shriying couldn’t imagine how terrifying power the teenager would have when he grew up.
This kind of person would be a great threat to the whole Voodoo-barbarian Tribe if not killed.
But unfortunately, Shriying didn’t have the ability to change the situation, and currently he was even not sure whether he could get out of the plight!
Suddenly, Shriying got a sharp sense that the spiritual formation’s force oppressing his body showed an imperceptible sign of weakening, which made his heart vibrate, because it completely confirmed his guess just now.
“It seems that I’m indeed doomed this time. I have killed countless mighty humans, and I have thought I might be killed by someone stronger than me, but I’ve never imagined I might be defeated by a human teenager. It is so ridiculous.”
Shriying sighed slightly, with his husky voice showing a sense of desolation, “Can you tell me your name before killing me?”
Holding his sabre and standing on the periphery of the spiritual formation, Lin Xun got more delighted when he noticed Shriying was downhearted.
He liked smiling since his childhood. Sometimes his smile was enjoyable, but sometimes it was annoying.
At least at this moment, his smile seemed offending for Shriying, who felt it was sarcastic.
“You’re buying time, so am I.”
With the smile slowly vanishing, Lin Xun got serious, and said, “You must have found that the biggest weakness of this formation is that it lacks a powerful source of spiritual energy. Therefore, the formation could only release force temporarily, but over time, the whole formation would collapse for lacking the support of spiritual energy.”
When saying this point, Lin Xun shrugged, and sighed, “I can’t do anything about it! I can’t find any spiritual crystal which can be used as the source of spiritual energy, so I can only use something like spiritual elixirs and pills to serve as the stopgaps. For now, the formation indeed couldn’t last long, and after five minutes…No, after three minutes, you can get out of the plight by your own power.”
Hearing Lin Xun’s words, Shriying looked awkward gradually. What he thought had been exposed by Lin Xun mercilessly, which made him confused about the true intention of Lin Xun.
“What do you want to do on earth?”
Shriying couldn’t help asking. He knew it was stupid, but he couldn’t tolerate the feeling of being manipulated by others anymore.”
“The final intention is to, of course, kill you.”
Without any hesitation, Lin Xun said, “Only in this way can I feel relieved to continue with the assessment in the following half of a month.”
“Are you sure you can kill me when I get out of trouble?”
Staring firmly at the eyes of Lin Xun, Shriying looked as if he wanted to see through the true intention of Lin Xun.
“Of course.”
Lin’s response was quite casual, “If it hadn’t been for the intention of killing you, I would have escaped at the moment you were trapped in the thatched cottage. If so, I could lose no time in getting the help of the practitioners at Gang Spirit Realm from the Reshahar Army of the empire, and guarantee that I won’t suffer any danger anymore.”
Shriying’s heart sank, and he said, “So the reason for your stay is that you have means to kill me?”
After thinking a moment, Lin Xun shook his head, and said, “I don’t dare to be so definite until the last moment.”
At this moment, Shriying raised his head suddenly, with a touch of coldness flashing across his blue eyes. He asked, “The last question! Is the Amrita Saint Pearl still in your hands?”
Lin Xun smiled, “This is what you’re truly concerned about!”
Shriying nodded.
Clang!
Lin Xun suddenly elevated his sabre which let out a clear sound, “I might well tell you the answer after I kill you.”
Shriying squinted his eyes, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
He expected that he could get out of the damn formation in at most ten seconds, but he didn’t expect that Lin decided to attack him suddenly at this moment!
Had the guy exactly calculated the time?
Buzz!
Shriying didn’t get time to think more when a strange sound made by a sabre rang in his ears, reverberated through this place, and even vibrated Shriying’s soul.
When Shriying was still in a trance, numerous stars seemed to be falling down from the sky before his eyes. Heaven tore asunder, earth cracked and everything died…
It was just like the doomsday!
The fatal atmosphere of danger irritated Shriying and every pore of his body was blown open. With the strength from somewhere, Shriying roared, and those spiritual lights shrouding his body were dissipated suddenly. Shriying struggled to stand up.
“You are just a human bastard! Do you think you can kill me?”
Sounding ruthless, Shriying mobilized all of his strength, and his whole body seemed to be burning with terrifying vigour. The illusion before his eyes disappeared suddenly in an instant.
Finally, Shriying caught sight of Lin’s sabre which was hacking towards his direction. A cruel smile rose involuntarily from Shriying’s lips, and without any hesitation, he launched a swift attack with his palms.
But…
What Shriying hadn’t expected was that although the power of the small Purgatory Spiritual Formation of Five Elements was not strong enough to trap him, it suddenly exploded at the moment he launched the attack!
Boom~
The scene of dazzling spiritual lights interlacing was just like the eruption of a volcano, and terrifying air billows diffused, sweeping the surrounding zone within a 333-meter radius of the cottage. Not only the surrounding rocks and trees were destroyed in an instant, even Shriying himself completely got shrouded.
And the moment the formation exploded, Lin Xun flew towards the distance swiftly.
Standing in the distance, and looking at the flaming explosion scene, Lin Xun held the sabre without feeling relaxed.
Until now, everything was in his control, but Lin Xun was not sure whether the exploding formation could completely destroy such a mighty guy as Shriying.
