Rise Against Desperation

0The rich fragrance of the trees at the foot of Spirit Beast Mountain assaulted his nose. He breathed in the tranquil air and watched the martial practitioners walking toward Spirit Beast Mountain with determined eyes. He hugged his head with both hands, leisurely yet at ease.

"I will officially enter Spirit Beast Mountain to train on that night's pole technique." Recalling that night when he hacked out with that pole, and considering how strong he would be when facing off against his enemies in the future, he already had a sense of urgency.    

    

Seeing the youth so relaxed, the youth became even more excited. This proved that the higher the success rate, and the more relaxed the prey was, the more successful he would be.    

    

Gradually, the number of warriors around them began to lessen. All warriors could understand the principle of stepping into the Spirit Beast Mountain and killing people for their treasures.    

    

As a result, the moment most of the martial practitioners stepped into Spirit Beast Mountain, their gazes met, and they quickly distanced themselves from the crowd. Of course, there were very few who entered Spirit Beast Mountain alone, and most of them walked in groups.    

    

For a young man like Lin Hua, it was either the descendants who possessed a great killing weapon, or Lin Hu was dressed as a service disciple. This caused the young man to dispel this worry long ago.    

    

"The Lin Clan's disciple training grounds is near the outskirts of Spirit Beast Mountain, about a hundred kilometers away from here." After calculating the distance, he had enough time to make it in a day. He took a step forward and headed towards the northwest direction.    

    

At this time, he looked behind him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "Have you come with me?" There was a smile on his face as he indifferently waited for the figure behind him.    

    

After five minutes, the youth still hadn't appeared. Lin Chu yawned impatiently, "Come out, don't hide anymore. I know you're here."    

    

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."    

    

A figure slowly walked out from the underbrush. His silver and red robe had a playful look on his face as he looked at Lin Hua, "I hope that your calm expression isn't an act."    

    

The young man smiled, "I got it. Do you think I will let you off if you hand over your belongings?"    

    

Lin Hu calmly looked at the young man. He was not a bloodthirsty person, he would never forgive someone who had the intent to kill him.    

    

The youth frowned when he saw Lin Hu's expression was still as calm as before. He then angrily pointed his right hand at Lin Hua. You are just a mere Fighter 5-dan, yet you dare to be so impudent in front of me. "    

    

With these words, he wielded the short blade in his hand and chopped towards Lin Hua's right hand. From the looks of it, he wanted to cripple Lin Hua's arm and then embarrass him.    

    

The dagger was wielded in a crafty and vicious manner. Furthermore, its speed was extremely fast. Lin Hu's pupils constricted. He had committed yet another fatal mistake.    

    

He could not underestimate his opponent at any time. This was the way of survival taught by the Purple Eye, and this was still fresh in his mind.    

    

He exerted all of his strength in the Dazzling Spring Steps, barely dodging the attack. A strand of hair drifted to his shoulder as his right hand supported the ground as he tumbled to the side.    

    

The youth didn't think that this young man in front of him could actually dodge this sudden saber strike. But, he didn't give Lin Hu a chance to catch his breath. After fighting in the world of martial artists for so long, he naturally knew what to do next.    

    

He raised his blade and it brought out waves of martial qi that rushed towards Lin Hu. Facing the blade wind, Lin Hua took out a potholed iron rod from his storage bag and swung it at the incoming blade wind.    

    

After shaking the saber wind with a single blow of the rod, Lin Hu thought that the battle was over. However, he didn't expect the young man to barge straight at him. Clearly, he wanted to use his body to exchange blows with him.    

    

He didn't feel the same way he did that night as he slashed downward with his staff. He relied solely on brute force to hit the young man on the shoulder. The distance between them caused the young man to fall to the ground.    

    

He did not expect that the youth who had fallen to the ground would once again use a few short blades, flying towards his own throat. This killing method was indeed not something that the Lin Clan disciples could compare with.    

    

Fortunately, his spirit had once again dodged those flying daggers. Lin Hu no longer dared to underestimate this young man, and his fatal moves caused him to have no choice but to be cautious against this young man who attacked him.    

    

"You are actually at the peak of Stage Ten Fighter, this time you can consider me your opponent." After taking the hit, the young man touched the dislocated left shoulder.    

    

However, there was no fear in the young man's eyes. Instead, he glared fiercely at Lin Hua. Lin Hu couldn't help but admire this young man in front of him. Although his cultivation level was a little lower, he had almost killed him.    

    

However, he did not listen to the young man's nonsense. He raised his iron rod and once again chopped down on the young man's head. Facing this attack, the young man could only raise his movable right hand and block it.    

    

How could this youth with 2000 jins of strength resist against a single swing of the staff? The saber strike instantly cut off the youth's life. Seeing the youth lying in a pool of blood, Lin Hu had no expression of joy.    

    

Now he finally understood what kind of danger a martial artist who had experienced many life and death situations was. If he was at the same level as this young man, then he would be the one to die today.    

    

The memory of that fatal move was still fresh in his mind, but today was another day. He gazed at the figure lying in a pool of blood, rummaged through the young man's corpse, and took out a storage pouch.    

    

At this moment, he did not have the time to flip through the multitudinous eyes of the people from the Great Solar Chen Clan. Therefore, he immediately left for the Lin Clan disciples' area of experience.    

    

What he cared about was not to secretly protect the Lin Clan disciples' training, but Lin Wushuang's words. Why did he secretly observe the Lin Clan disciples? Could it be that there was a reason for the Lin Clan disciples to find the black-clothed man?    

    

The fact that Lin Shuangshuang immediately came to find him the second day after he was hunted by the man in black showed that Lin Wushuang must have found something. Thus, Lin Hu sped up.    

    

A day's time quickly passed by. During this time, he also discovered many incidents where people killed each other for treasures. This was the most common phenomenon in the Martial Disciple Continent.    

    

If this continent was too benevolent, then the one who would die would definitely be himself. Without the protection of the sect members, then this world would be cruel. He understood this principle long ago, so he quickly avoided it, not wanting to implicate himself.    

    

After running for an entire night, Forest Sprout stopped in his tracks. He found a large tree to open a big hole in, and then sat down in meditation to rest.    

    

The Spirit Beast Mountain at night was quiet, so quiet that it was somewhat terrifying. Accompanying the silence of the night, there would always be a roar from the dark night that could be heard.    

    

"I probably won't be able to increase my battle qi by even a tenth in one night of cultivation. Let's go train our staff techniques." He jumped out of the forest and looked around.    

    

The surroundings were like a great canyon with trees growing up and down one after another. The roars of the spirit beasts came from below the ravine. The youth named Mingyue jumped down from the sky and grabbed onto the iron rod with an excited and nervous expression on his face.    

    

There was still some distance between this place and the true outskirts of Spirit Beast Mountain, so he didn't have to worry about encountering terrifying spirit beasts. The spirit beasts here were mostly Rank One or Peak Rank One spirit beasts, which just so happened to give him the skill to sharpen his rod.
