Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 342 - Strong Counterattack

Chapter 342: Strong CounterattackTranslator: Flying Lines

“I don’t think you dare to kill us!”
Shi Zhan and Chang Ziheng, who were kneeling down beside Xiao Fengru, sneered with resentment.
As Sea Spirit Realm practitioners high in dignity, they were now forced to kneel on the ground, which made them shamed and extreme angry.
Lin Xun smiled, “You’re right. I’ve listed so many faults of you but I don’t intend to kill you immediately.”
Xiao Fengru and other two people were more confident about their judge when they heard this.
But Lin Xun’s next words hit them like a lightning.
“Death is exemptible, but punishment for you is inevitable. So I decide to eliminate your cultivation due to these faults.”
Hearing this, even Lin Dahong could not help feeling his heart convulse. This was a much cruel punishment than killing them!
If a practitioner lost his cultivation, he wouldn’t only become powerless, but also lose all the status and honor he had!
This was the most terrible punishment.
Thinking about it, if their cultivation were eliminated, how could they win their foothold in collateral forces of Lin Family?
The more powerful the force was, the more fierce the competition would be in it. Guest Deacon was really an honor for them. But once their cultivation was eliminated, their identities, status and treatment would be deprived directly!
At that time, which big forces prefer to support several useless people?
Xiao Fengru obviously realized its importance. At this moment, they were panic and completely disordered.
“You can’t do that! You can’t bear the consequences! Are you planning to go completely against our three families?! ”
Xiao Fengru screamed.
“Lin Xun, I didn’t mean to find trouble with you. I came here at command. Don’t vent your anger on us.”
Shi Zhan was completely flustered. He begged with a trembling voice.
Chang Ziheng had already been scared to be green around the gills. He was totally perplexed and unable to utter a word at this time.
They had changed their initially arrogant faces and now begged piteously. Seeing this, Lin Dahong couldn’t help but feel grateful. Fortunately, he had just been watching aside indifferently and didn’t mess up in this affair. Otherwise…
Lin Dahong shivered all over and dared not think further.
Lin Xun smiled and looked at the three people on the ground who were grief-stricken as if bereaved of parents. An unspeakable loathing feeling surged in his heart.
“Zhu Laosan, eliminate their cultivation right now.”
Lin Xun ordered.
“Dare you –”
“I’ll fight with you!”
Xiao Fengru et al had their morale completely collapse. They acted like the mad, jumped up and tried to seize Lin Xun as a hostage.
However, before they succeeded to do so, the killing momentum of Zhu Laosan suddenly became stronger!
With a roar, they felt that their bones were almost broken. Their bodies were so severely suppressed to lie prone on the ground that they even couldn’t move any finger. Now, they were totally unable to resist at all.
Zhu Laosan, who had been standing in silence like a rock, finally moved. He waved his sleeves. Three black lights swept out of it and disappeared into their bodies.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Their faces turned pale immediately. And they coughed up blood together. At the same time, their cultivation was lost immediately like a punctured ball.
In the blink of an eye, their eyes were dim. Their skin was tarnished and shriveled, looking like becoming hundreds of years older in a short time.
This was the end of losing cultivation!
Seeing this scene, Lin Dahong was also shocked. His mood was shaking. Lin Xun’s previous behavior were not fiery, which made people suspect that he was vulnerable.
But now, Lin Dahong finally understood that Lin Xun was fiercer and more terrible than he thought!
Xiao Fengru, Shi Zhan and Chang Ziheng lost their spirit immediately. They looked extremely decadent and depressed.
It was unbearable to become a powerless ordinary man from a high-status practitioner.
Only when one lost what he originally had could he understand the happiness of having it before.
Unfortunately, things had happened.
Lin Xun still smiled and said, “Go back and tell your master, I give them two choices as well.”
“Surrender to me and spit out all the treasures they stole from Heart-cleansing Peak. I can forgive bygones for the sake of clan kinship.”
“If they don’t submit to me, I will treat them as traitors of Lin Family. And I’ll punish all traitors!”
Lin Xun announced calmly, “There are three years for them to think about it. If they can’t make a decision by that time, I’ll make it for them.”
After that, he waved his hand, “Granddad Zhong, send them away.”
Lin Zhong immediately took the order, dragged the three people, who were lying on the ground like dead dogs, and left Heart-cleansing Hall.
Lin Xun sat back in his seat and looked at Lin Dahong with a smile, “Uncle, do you have any idea after all this play?”
Now it was his turns!
Lin Dahong was alerted. He took a deep breath, tried to control all kinds of emotions in his heart, and said, “You’re completely going against the other three families in this way. And there is no room for other punishments. Is it a little determined?”
Lin Xun shrugged and said, “But I’m forced to do this. I’m alone, you know. The situation is already difficult and dangerous for me, so I can’t retreat. Once I retreat, I will die.”
Suddenly, he said with a smile, “Of course, you will not understand this, uncle. Being the master of Heart-cleansing Peak is easier said than done. ”
Lin Dahong’s mood was complex. Although he didn’t understand Lin Xun’s mood, he was sure that Lin Xun told the truth.
Lin Xun’s situation was really dangerous. Every movement of him was like dancing on the tip of sabers. He faced not only the internal problems, but also the possible invasion from enemies!
Lin Xun could not change any situation with the identity of a successor of Lin Family.
What was more, he was only a teenager. He was too young to shoulder this.
In this case, the identity of Lin’s successor wouldn’t benefit him, but became a burden to him, which might crush him at any time!
“Now that you have decided to do so, why you give them three more years to think about it?”
Lin Dahong couldn’t help asking.
These words reminded others that Lin Xun’s current power was weak so he would take three years to grow more powerful to fight back. So if they wanted to deal with Lin Xun, they could take advantage of these three years!
Lin Dahong felt that Lin Xun was very unwise to give them a limited time!
“Even if I don’t give a certain time, according to their attitude, they wouldn’t tolerate me controlling Heart-cleansing Peak in these three years.”
Lin Xun said with a smile, “It’s better to tell them that as long as I survive in these three years, it’s my turn to punish traitors for the sake of our ancestors.”
When it came to the end, there was a sense of determination in his voice.
Three years!
Lin Xun was confident to have the power and assets to unify Lin Family by that time!
“Three years…”
Lin Dahong murmured. He didn’t know why Lin Xun was so confident. But he found a rare vigorous spirit from the young man in front of him!
“Of course, in these three years, my situation is still bad as ever. Or things would be more dangerous than before, but I am not worried.”
“After all, if the only member of Lin Family who has the qualification to inherit Heart-cleansing Peak died, Lin Family would completely lose this peak. I think this is not the result that you four families want to face.” Lin Xun changed his topic and smiled meaningfully.
Lin Dahong’s face changed a little. He was speechless for a moment.
It was true that the reason why Heart-cleansing Peak hadn’t been taken away, although it was vacant for more than ten years, was that the imperial family clearly issued that only Lin Daochen’s lineal descendants could inherit it.
Otherwise, why four branches of Lin Family had to move away from Heart-cleansing Peak more than ten years ago?
If Lin Xun died, the lineage of Lin Daochen was totally nonexistent.
At that time, even if the other four branches of Lin Family want to fight for the control of Heart-cleansing Peak, it still depended on the imperial family’s attitude!
Lin Xun stretched out his arm and grabbed a page of contract on the ground. It was left by Xiao Fengru just now.
“The conditions listed above aren’t fair to me. But they have no courage to kill me. On the contrary, in order to move back to Heart-cleansing Peak and take charge of Lin Family, the only thing they can do is to arrest me. They’ll avoid from letting me die at all costs I guess.”
Lin Xun carefully put away the contract and said calmly, “I will keep in mind that this is the only value I have in their eyes.”
He was calm saying that, but Lin Dahong realized that the attitude of the other three families today had turned to be Lin Xun’s hatred!
If Lin Xun really had the power to unify Lin family one day, he wouldn’t forgive other three branches easily!
Thinking of this, Lin Dahong suddenly looked solemn and said in a deep voice, “I’m here on behalf of Northlight Lin. My purpose is different from the other three.”
Lin Xun smiled thoughtfully, “Yes, l am listening.”
Lin Dahong said frankly, “To be honest, my real purpose here is to see in person what kind of person you are, and then we’ll make the next decision.”
Lin Xun nodded, “It’s very prudent, but it’s certainly wise to make such a decision.”
Lin Dahong said, “That’s it. Although we’re sure that you are Lin Daochen’s grandson, we can’t give a clear attitude when we are not sure what kind of person you are.”
Lin Xun agreed in his heart.
In fact, from the different four notes they sent and the performances of Lin Dahong, Lin Xun had noticed that Northlight Lin’s attitude toward him was indeed different from that of the other three.
Although Northlight Lin didn’t make a clear statement, they didn’t want to usurp power of Lin Xun directly like the other three did.
That was a good new for Lin Xun!
Lin Xun was confident. As long as Northlight Lin gave him a chance, he could definitely give them a satisfactory reason that they had to submit to him!
