Chapter 1026 994: Blood as the Price
The appearance of Yelu Shou broke the situation of Consort Ling being controlled. He agilely flipped back, distancing himself from Xiao Lin, watching Yelu Shou drag Crow away bit by bit from around Xiao Lin before he ran up. "What's going on here?" he asked, expressing another person's inner thoughts.
"Troy, I have a favor to ask of you, I think you can do it." Troy looked at Yelu Shou's solemn expression and nodded. "Go quickly and find the best doctor here, no matter how you treat, you must save this guy, and he must be full of life."
"Uh, you mean it?" Troy stared at Crow, remembering that this was the Mongolian Wolf that followed beside Xiao Lin.
"Yes, Consort Ling, you go with Troy, you are one of the 'Black Crow' people, I'm afraid he'll chop you up along with it." Yelu Shou didn't seem to be joking; today if Crow hadn't rushed out, he would've done the same, animals, after all, don't understand human cunning.
"That guy went crazy because of it?" Troy incredulously pointed at the beast.
"To Xiao Lin, anyone he acknowledges is his family, so you better hurry, if you're any slower, I'm afraid you won't be able to save Crow! It has Xiao Lin's blood, it won't die so easily."
"OK, leave it to me, I'll make sure you see it alive and kicking." Troy gathered up Crow in his arms and already ran in one direction. Consort Ling didn't hesitate to follow closely, Yelu Shou arranged this also because he was afraid someone might take advantage, Sin City is not a reliable place.
Looking back at Xiao Lin, he stood like a statue gazing forward, in his eyes was no one but the culprit who harmed Crow. Yelu Shou was far from Xiao Lin, he was even retreating, this was not the first time seeing this look, but history was too long ago to remember, the death of Hong made him endure, causing tremendous casualties, but this time these few people were rather unlucky, Xiao Lin had suppressed for too long.
A sharp gaze glowed with red light, like two unmovable machines locked on the two Hook Swords in Adam's hands, still dripping blood, flowing down the thin blade to the ground. He slowly licked his lips, his feet stomped, and suddenly charged forward.
The space below had a width of five meters and a height of four meters, not a short distance. The two people behind Adam blinked and Xiao Lin had already disappeared from the high ground. They had seen his strength, some even fought against him, but at this moment they felt deceived, that speed, that explosive force, the overwhelming oppressive feeling made them feel their bodies were being sliced.
The enlarging silhouette in front made Adam's heart tremble with fear. She didn't expect Xiao Lin to attack so suddenly and silently, without any preparation for a pause. However, being someone on the third level of the 'Black Crow' isn't an ordinary person, her reaction speed was also terrifying.
Adam Gadmon's strength was second only to the Magician. In the ranking by name, the Joker was last. Each of these four people had their own specialties, excelling in their fields. The Magician was like an inscrutable net, perhaps only Lucifer could see through him, and Yada Gadamon definitely wouldn't be like her name, a god; she was a Demon who enjoyed digging out people's hearts.
With a clap, both hands gripped the Hook Swords, spinning them with a whirring roar, slamming towards Xiao Lin's figure.
Adam wasn't particularly tall among the crowd, even petite. Her arms holding the Hook Swords were extremely slender, but listening to the dull sound, one knew the power packed in this strike.
In a flash of lightning and flint, sparks flared, a fleeting moment of splendor.
The figure and the sword shadow suddenly paused, Xiao Lin's left hand held a still-spinning sharp tip, while his right hand had seized the descending Hook Sword from Yada's head. The location where he gripped the sword was the back, rarely noticed detail, the least sharp part of the entire weapon. Grasping this part instantly was already rare, and reaching through the hook to grasp here showcased extraordinary vision.
Xiao Lin's gaze focused, the scarlet eyes only saw Yada's distinct black-and-white eyes. The right hand clamping the Hook Sword pressed down fiercely. Instantly, Adam felt her arm becoming heavy, like a mountain pressing down, suddenly losing balance.
The Magician suddenly lunged from behind, aiming a kick at Xiao Lin's shoulder hollow, yet Adam abruptly threw away the Hook Sword and punched at the approaching figure of the Magician. "I'll handle my affairs myself, no need for interference." As the words fell, she seized the Hook Sword again, not allowing meddling.
After the strike, Xiao Lin didn't continue his assault. His left hand lightly lifted, the tip pierced into the Hook Sword, the force applied instantly lightened. The stabilizing Adam again fell backward due to imbalance, Xiao Lin took the opportunity to flick the tip upward, the Hook Sword flew from Adam's palm, flying to the side.
Five steps away, from Adam's standing position, a silver thread suddenly shot out, like a tiny should-be shot towards Xiao Lin's raised leg.
Silently unlike a battleground filled with slaughter, nor was it a deathly domain, this small silver light seemed too weak, but in Xiao Lin's eyes, it was enlarging.
At any time, maintaining keen senses and perception was Xiao Lin's way of life, a habit embedded in dining or sleeping, a natural existence.
So when the silver light shot, he instantly became alert. What was this slender, long silver light? What threat did it pose to him? How to resolve it? In that blinking emptiness, Xiao Lin's mind flashed repeatedly over this strange weapon, without any clue.
If it wasn't a hidden weapon, dodging at this time would miss the chance to capture Adam, leading to worse outcomes. Once she had a chance to counterattack, it might be troublesome.
Time wouldn't wait, during Xiao Lin's thought process, the silver line was already upon him.
A subtle sound of wind cutting through the air suddenly wrapped around Xiao Lin's raised right leg twice. Then, with a tightening flash of silver, sensing that oppressive feeling of being torn apart, he raised his eyebrows as his left hand struck fiercely towards his right leg.
Was he going to harm himself? The Magician stood at his position, seeing from his angle, Xiao Lin seemed to be smashing a sharp blade towards his own right leg.
A grinding sound like gears rubbing against each other suddenly erupted, followed by a fierce roar. With a few thuds, the silver light flew into the sky, two clusters of silver light were thrown overhead, then fell down, and the silver thread was severed.
But this was not over. After cascading downwards, Adam's thin silhouette flew obliquely, twisting in mid-air to land gracefully. His hands swiftly slid, another silver thread attacked, Xiao Lin's left hand formed a circle on his chest, meeting the silver thread head-on.
The sound of tearing carried countless stars, forcibly pulling this silver thread taut into a straight line.
"Break!" Xiao Lin shouted fiercely, unknown what hand struck, a short blade gleamed in his right palm, the tip pierced through that thin thread, and the silver thread broke with a sound.
Adam saw the silver thread snapping and immediately flung out all the threads from his sleeve, floating like mist. Only she knew the material of such silver threads, broken easily by that sharp blade, Adam dared not hold back any more, and the silver threads spread like a loose spider web towards Xiao Lin's head.
With just the movement of ten fingers, the disordered threads could be woven into a web at a speed calculated in seconds. As long as Xiao Lin reached his hand into the web, Adam would be confident enough to tear his hand off on the spot, her black-and-white eyes suddenly brightened.
Xiao Lin's sharp claw suddenly expanded forward, transforming into a palm stance. Before Adam could react, he had already dashed into the web, fiercely sweeping towards her chest.
Ah...
The chest suffered severe trauma, causing flesh to blur, and Yada's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Xiao Lin, with no intention of showing mercy, his gaze cold and piercing, barely touched the ground before lunging forward with all his might. After skidding three or four steps on the blood-stained ground, his hands slapped the ground, flipped his body upward.
Silent! Ruthlessly decisive!
Adam just landed, yet to realize that Xiao Lin was right beneath her, not anticipating such a moment for herself.
Thud! Thud thud!
The body froze, and two sharp blades pierce through Adam's body! With a ripping sound like a cloth bag being torn open, Adam's chest to abdomen was sliced open by the sharp blade.
She widened her eyes, as if in disbelief, wanting to lift her head, but felt her head heavy like never before. All strength rapidly drained from her body like a rushing flood, and her vision quickly blurred.
Finally!
Adam Gadmon! The Angel of 'Black Crow', is she dead?
A gray and a black silhouette rapidly darted from two directions, one attacking Xiao Lin, the other snatching Adam Gadmon from his grasp.
"You cannot kill her!" Lucifer shouted while grabbing Adam Gadmon, throwing a remark at an enraged Xiao Lin.
"Is that so? Cannot kill? Haha..." Xiao Lin smirked, indifferent to Lucifer's words. To Xiao Lin, nobody was beyond killing, only whether they should be killed or not. "However, I don't think she'll survive an hour!"
"You'll regret killing her," Lucifer's words made Xiao Lin pause. He quickly noticed the Magician beside him hadn't taken any action after the previous strike.
"I said you would regret using their lives to play this boring game."
"She's part of the Blood Race, and she's Nicholas's fiancée!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
