Chapter 18

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A deathly hush fell over the scene!

The war zone that was initially hyped up and chaotic suddenly became dead silent.

Those five punches were as big as a grinding disc.

A punch that killed off those demi-kings of the other ethnicity.

Everyone was thunderstruck!

The men of Anti-Lin Alliance were dumbfounded. Their limbs went icy cold as they did not expect them joining forces to annihilate the Lin family would result in an encounter with such a horrifying existence.

They were so scared that they could have peed in their pants!

‘This is terrible!’

‘This is really terrible!!!’

They regretted everything. They should not have harbored ill intentions against the Lin family. They should have just obeyed them.

‘This is truly terrifying!’

They swore silent oaths that if they managed to return home alive, they would always take a large detour whenever they met with someone with the Lin family name.

Lin Zhennan, who was hovering in mid-air, felt his body stiffen as his body gradually descended to the ground.

Even though those five terrifying punches were not directed at him, and it was even specifically meant to take a turn to avoid him, he still could feel the suffocating sensation within his soul at such a close distance.

He was unable to make his breathing rate settle down.

Those five punches were way too terrifying and it made his mind go blank.

If one of those five punches were targeting him, no, even if it was just half of a punch, he would also end up dead for sure. He did not have the slightest bit of confidence that he would be able to defend against it.

The people of the Lin family were feeling utter astonishment which was also accompanied with some delight.

They never expected that their family would have such an overwhelming person with such a background guarding this place.

Their emotions that had become agitated following the appearance of the five demi-kings of foreign clans calmed down once again.

However, after experiencing such a huge fluctuation in their emotions, when things that made them hyped up occurred, they could not bring themselves to feel the excitement. Instead, they were emotionally drained.

Things were way too exciting as the tables continuously kept being turned around.

Lin Xueling’s long brows were knitted in a frown. She looked up at the sky with her gaze filled with anticipation.

‘How nice will it be if I can be this powerful one day!’

“I can’t tell if Lil Chu is that powerful. Perhaps this means that he has started making a move.”

In the meantime, a vague idea flashed past her mind.

Regardless of whether or not Chu He would agree to it, to Lin Xueling, he was also a powerhouse.

The other foreign clan members whose bodies had become huge and were gleefully murdering the people nearby were suddenly dumbfounded as they let out a chilling shriek.

‘What’s wrong?’

‘We’ve already grown so huge, but where are the five elders?’

‘Why did they suddenly go missing?’

‘Not even a glimpse of them?’

‘Illusion, it must be an illusion!’

They were not willing to accept such a terrifying outcome.

However, no matter how much they tried to deny the fact, they blinked their eyes, thinking through it over and over.

The bloody fact was still presented in front of them.

The five strong elders were indeed gone for good!

Not even a trace of them could be seen!

“Run! Hurry and run for your life!”

Some of the men from the foreign clans snapped out of their trance, and they roared at their colleagues, urging them to flee the scene.

The existence that hid within the shadows was way too frightening.

They had no intention to seek revenge over such a power that could instantly finish off their five elders. They only wanted to run for their lives, the sooner the better.

Hence, with a burst of roars, a group of foreign clan members who had regained their senses bolted away from Lin City, frantically running for their lives.

Following the fleeing of the foreign clans, the group of leaders of the Alliance that planned to take down the Lin family also snapped out of their daze. They had the same thinking, and at the same time, they all gave orders to their respective organization to retreat.

The back troops became the frontliners and everyone started shoving each other as they ran for their lives. The scene was utter chaos.

“Haha! Die, you evil beings!”

Lin Zhennan recovered from his state of shock. He composed his emotions and let out a huge burst of laughter.

However, he did not just keep on laughing away.

He, who had experienced countless wars, knew well that it was currently the perfect opportunity to strike down the evils.

Hence, Lin Zhennan was decisive and gave the order to hunt them down.

Like a hawk, he leaped into the air and took the lead to hunt the retreating army.

At that moment, the Anti-Lin Alliance and the foreign clans had lost their will to fight. The Lin family would just kill them off wherever they were.

No one stayed back at the scene.

Everyone was only thinking of running away faster than the other.

There were even some who pulled underhanded tricks to force those in front of them to end up at the back lines.

That demonstrated the extent of their orderliness, and that was also one of the differences that defined an organization comprising lawless people.

When the elites were being hunted, they would stay very organized even in retreat, and someone would stay behind to hold the fort.

As for an organization of lawless thugs, they still could manage if the war went on smoothly, but if they were to face defeat, their forces would be like a strong current, unable to hold their ground and just rushing away.

It was a one-sided massacre.

The slaughter continued till it was nighttime.

Fresh blood was seen throughout thousands of miles of land, and the ground was littered with corpses.

The military troops of the Anti-Lin Alliance and the foreign clans were all being beaten to death one by one, and only a small fraction of them managed to scatter to other places.

Up to that moment, the attempt of annihilating the Lin family came to an ending no one had expected.

Meanwhile, the Godly Troops, who had rushed over to surround them, noticed that there was a king’s aura amongst the foreign clan members within the lands of the Xia clan, and went on to spread that news. 

The whole world was flabbergasted.

Who could have expected that the Lin family, which nearly faced annihilation, would still have such a terrifying backup despite the destruction of the Annan military troop and Lin Zhennan being heavily injured? Also, the local organization could not even take control over the land of the Lin Commandery. (TN: We believe that this was a typo on the author’s part and it should be Zhennan Military Troop instead of Annan Military Troop. However, we have opted to translate it as it is.)

The family turned out to have an Ultimate Demi-King guarding the fort.

Just as importantly, it turned out that Lin Zhennan’s injury was not as serious as mentioned in the rumors.

He could jump around and even fight!!!

At that moment, all powers of the Xia clan started eyeing the Lin family once again.

The Lin family was still the top family of the Xia clan.

They did not deteriorate after the destruction of the Annan Military Troops. Instead, because of the Ultimate Demi-King guarding the place, it made others more terrified of them than ever.

When faced with other people’s tentative pestering and curiosity, Lin Zhennan dealt with them ambiguously, leaving the public in an uncertain daze.

In fact, Lin Zhennan himself was flustered as well, as he had yet to make clear what had happened.

In regards to that Ultimate Demi-King, there was indeed some connection with the Lin family, but he did not know who the person was.

Even though he had seen him before, it was just as if he had not seen him at all.

It may sound almost weird but it was the truth.

Lin Zhennan made a wild guess. On that day, the one who made a move must have been the senior who rescued him.

And that senior self-proclaimed that he had a connection to one of the clansmen of the Lin family.

However, he had no idea who that person was, or what the name of that senior was, or what he looked like.

It was pointless to ask him!

On top of that, whether or not that senior was even still in the Lin family, Lin Zhennan had no answer to that.
