Chapter 330: An Unexpected Battle (Part 2)

During the battle, Lilith made a point to pay attention to Xiao Lin’s side. She appeared to be more aware of the situation than Xiao Lin was and noticed that his strength was indeed better than that of the opponents. As a result, she never once thought of lending any support for Xiao Lin.

After seeing Ibeya using suicide to break free from the man’s threat, she even nodded her head in a show of praise. However, when she saw Xiao Lin’s mad dash as well as the terrible swordsmanship resulting from his anger, she could not help but curse in a low voice, “Idiot!”

Ibeiya came from a race of vampires!

She had to admit that Ibeiya’s final acting skills were on point, with most people feeling sympathy for her decisiveness and final liberation before dying.

Xiao Lin did show some signs of losing his mind at that instant, but he soon noticed that something was wrong in his subconscious. Ibeiya had previously stated that she would not die that easily, but when he wanted to calm down the anger in his heart, he was horrified to discover that his anger seemed to have a life of its own, desperately trying to erupt on its own beyond his control.

Xiao Lin had not yet deactivated his Miracle, and after an instant of anger, his speed was once again elevated to a higher level due to the Miracle state’s properties. His phantom-like speed left the opponent with no time to react at all.

Clang!

Xiao Lin’s Holy Soul Sword had already slashed through the body of the man who had grabbed Ibeiya. The Lightsword’s wave tore the man’s body in half instantaneously, killing him on the spot.

The other two people next to him quickly evaded and placed their guards up after a brief horror. Their reaction was quick, and they distanced themselves by more than ten meters in just a few seconds. However, Xiao Lin’s next move was even more shocking. He directly raised his sword up high, signifying the start of the Slashing skill. In spite of that, it was impossible to strike an enemy that was ten meters away using the Slashing.

After the three-second power-up was completed, Xiao Lin immediately swung the sword from where he stood. A huge wave of sword aura swept ten meters forward within the blink of an eye. The next second, the man’s body was crushed by the sword aura. Mangled and mutilated, he fell onto the ground and was no longer able to stand up.

“A fusion attack of Slashing and wave sword aura!” Lilith looked suspiciously from one side and muttered to herself, “Even though it’s not difficult, where would someone who just reached Black Iron-level be able to draw out such massive sword aura as?”

The sword aura stunned the last person silly. He turned around and ran wildly, so much so that he did not even notice how Xiao Lin froze on the spot and made no further movements after swinging the sword.

Xiao Lin’s consciousness was still sober, though he was hardly able to control his movements when he was angry earlier. After slashing the two of them, that inexplicable anger seemed to have diffused slightly. At the very least, he was aware of his actions and could control his body, albeit with great effort.

Xiao Lin gasped and tried his best to suppress the frenetic anger in his heart. He had clearly considered the possibility that he would go on a rampage, as the side effects of the dragon blood given to him by Song Junlang were like a time bomb lurking inside his body. He never expected it to act up again at that time.

Xiao Lin was already too lazy to take into consideration that his opponents had at least seven or eight people. He believed that Lilith alone could deal with them all and it was only a question of how long since they were not a threat. If his body was allowed to run wild, however, Lilith would probably have to destroy him right there.

While they were still in the middle of the tunnel, they sensed that they had returned without the scope of the resurrection tower. Even if they died, their life span would only be deducted, hence his belief that Lilith would definitely make such a move. However, Xiao Lin did not intend to die in vain and lose 20 years of his life span.

Calming down was of utmost importance!

Even Song Junlang did not know how to suppress the rampaging effect of dragon blood. Despite his solemn vow to study that issue in greater detail, Xiao Lin felt that it would be better to try things out himself. He continued to take deep breaths but found it very difficult to calm his mind. As a result, he simply sat down in the valley and tried his best to enter a state of meditation.

Indeed, that was the idea he had in mind. His boundlessly vast realm that appeared during meditation could make any restless mind fall into a peaceful state. Xiao Lin also tried to calm himself down in that state and slowly quell the anger that was going out of control in his heart.

Xiao Lin had no difficulty in perceiving the elements, and it became much easier after he had reached Black Iron-rank. At this moment, his meditation world was also spiraling into chaos, with countless stars darting in all directions at a ridiculous speed.

It showed that the elements around him were certainly also in an extremely active state. What a strange discovery indeed. The side effect of dragon blood’s rampaging ought to only involve Xiao Lin, but it seemed to actually involve a certain range area around Xiao Lin. It was obvious that the effects had an impact on the elements around him, but it was still considered a rather small area, since it occupied less than a meter’s radius around his body.

However, the chaos in the meditation world did not last too long, because Xiao Lin was still his Miracle state. Under that circumstance, the mysterious black hole with high suction force would appear in his galactic world and begin devouring the surrounding elements.

Despite his anxiety, Xiao Lin also lamented and wondered what exactly his body wanted to do.

Once there are no more elements within a certain range of his body, he was considered to have entered the world of necromantic meditation, though his then state was still very unusual. Although the surrounding elements were being swallowed, many continued to come closer. At the same time, Xiao Lin could also perceive that the surrounding death energy was also approaching him, and the mass of death aura that had gathered seemed to shroud him faintly in a gray, solid-like mist of gas.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lin was feeling very uncomfortable. More and more energy continued to rage crazily around him and his body. He did not know whether he could survive if that continued. He needed to drain and discharge all that energy, whether it was the elemental energy or death energy.

Xiao Lin then thought of something that might allow him to achieve that goal. He suddenly opened his eyes, exited his meditation world, and eagerly drew out his Holy Soul Sword.

Two consecutive kills caused blood stains to appear on the Holy Soul Sword’s blade, but it had not reached an adequate level yet. Fortunately, his brief meditation had allowed him to gather a lot of death energy and his summoning proved to be a success. Indeed, the fully-armored undead swordsman had appeared beside him.

“Lilith! I’ll leave you to deal with those people. Don’t let them disturb me!”

Xiao Lin turned around and ordered loudly. He then put his palm on the swordsman’s armor, and when he closed his eyes again, he gradually felt the death energy starting to gather on the undead being beside him.

Death energy had no consciousness, yet it also possessed the most basic of intellects. Their inherent nature was to gather toward similar energy around it, which explained why places like cemeteries had such a high concentration of death energy.
