Chapter 691: Chapter 689 Fatty Lamb?

The vast plain spread before him was a dark red color, embodying a sense of heaviness and oppression.

If one carefully perceived it, one could even detect faint traces of Blood Evil Aura from the dark red soil.

It was unclear whether the soil was naturally that color, or if it had been stained by fresh blood.

Across the boundless Blood-colored Plain, a figure moved as fast as lightning, swiftly crossing the landscape.

This figure moved like a ghost, each appearance found hundreds of meters away.

Moreover, what was even more eerie was the terrifying silence of the figure; there was no sound, only the gentle breeze which, when it stirred, caused the figure to disappear in an instant.

From the fleeting glimpses of the figure’s retreating form, one could barely make out that this was a very young person.

This figure was naturally Lin Xuan.

He had initially come to the Blood Domain Great Plain, intending to fly through the air.

However, he soon saw a fellow beginner get shot down from the sky not long after starting to fly.

The aura of the attacker was terrifying, even carrying a hint of Martial Soul power.

Witnessing this, Lin Xuan gave up on aerial flight and chose to travel on the ground instead.

There was no helping it; flying attracted too much attention, especially with the glow all around his body that made him a moving target, hard not to be noticed.

For safety and caution, Lin Xuan opted for ground travel.

With his Earth Rank Body Technique, Lin Xuan’s speed was quick, and after two hours, he saw the outline of a city ahead.

Seeing the city brought a slight smile to Lin Xuan’s face, and he quickened his pace once again.

Finally, he arrived at the front of the city and stopped.

The city was not large, just a typical town, and its walls were mottled and old.

Lin Xuan gave it a few glances before striding forward.

At the city gate were five or six old soldiers, who were huddled together playing a dice-like game.

Upon seeing Lin Xuan, they stopped their activities, grabbed the long spears from the ground, and crossed them, blocking the entrance.

Moreover, their previously lazy expressions had now turned fierce and ruthless, a terrifying killing aura emanating from each of them.

“Kid, you’re not following the rules; are you looking for death?” one of the big men coldly shouted.

This big man had a scar like a centipede crawling across his left cheek, about an inch long, which made him look particularly ferocious at the moment.

Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked ahead.

He saw that all six big men wore green light armor, each chest adorned with a ferocious wolf head.

“Rules, what rules?” Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.

“Not knowing the rules? Are you a newbie?” The big men were stunned, then burst into arrogant laughter.

They couldn’t sense Lin Xuan’s cultivation level and thus deemed him a weak novice.

“Kid, you dare to come to the Blood Domain at such a young age, aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“Your frail body, probably by the second day in, you’ll end up dead on the streets!”

The big men laughed boisterously, mocking Lin Xuan.

“I came here with my master, though I arrived a bit earlier,” Lin Xuan said indifferently.

“Alright, we don’t care who you came with; this city is managed by the Green Wolf Gang, and entering requires a payment of ten thousand Spirit Stones.”

“Ten thousand?”

Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed, knowing well that ten thousand Spirit Stones was not a small sum, as watching a top-tier martial combat in Quicksand City only cost a thousand Spirit Stones.

And now, merely to enter a city demanded ten thousand Spirit Stones!

True to the Blood Domain’s reputation, it was indeed extortionate!

Shaking his head, Lin Xuan didn’t want to cause trouble and flicked his finger, taking out ten thousand Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring.

“Huh?”

The big men were taken aback; they hadn’t expected Lin Xuan, who seemed so ordinary and frail, to produce ten thousand Spirit Stones so readily.

Moreover, it seemed as if this amount was but a trivial sum to him.

Especially when they saw the Storage Ring in Lin Xuan’s hand, their eyes sparkled with greed.

That was an exquisitely crafted Storage Ring, engraved with ancient patterns that flickered intermittently with flowing light; they had only seen a Storage Ring of this grade on the hand of their gang leader before.

Now, an unknown young man was wearing such a precious Storage Ring?

The men exchanged glances, then sneered.

Easy prey, this was definitely a big, fat sheep!

The Scarred Man quickly collected ten thousand Spirit Stones, then said coldly, “Kid, I don’t think you understood. When I said ten thousand Spirit Stones, I meant ten thousand per person.”

“So, you owe us sixty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Hurry up and hand them over, or if you anger us, the Green Wolf Gang, we’ll finish you off in minutes!”

Six big men looked at Lin Xuan, sneering coldly.

Lin Xuan frowned. To him, sixty thousand Spirit Stones were merely a drizzle, but it was clear that the other party was extorting and bullying him, and he was not one to be easily slaughtered.

“Damn it, didn’t you understand what I said?”

Another big man shouted coldly, “Hand over the Storage Ring if you know what’s good for you, and I’ll let you enter; otherwise, watch your life!”

With that, he drew the long sword from his waist, the blade flashing sharply, revealing its cold gleam.

Yet Lin Xuan just laughed. The reputation of the Blood Domain was indeed well-deserved; even six guards whom he encountered upon entering were bold enough to flaunt their arrogance and even contemplate murder for loot?

Such a scenario would have been impossible elsewhere.

But in the Blood Domain, it somehow seemed justified.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s disdainful smile, the six big men became furious.

“You little runt, seems like you’re asking for death!”

“Someone, chop off his limbs and drag him out to feed the dogs.”

The Scarred Man shouted coldly.

Then, one of the big men walked out sneering with a shiny long sword and swung it toward Lin Xuan.

Crack!

A clear sound echoed, and the fairly good long sword was clamped between Lin Xuan’s two hands.

Then, under the terrified gazes of the six men, he twisted his fingers.

Instantly, the blade turned into numerous white powder particles that scattered all over the ground.

A gust of wind blew, and they vanished.

“What!”

Six big men’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, especially the one still holding the handle of the sword; he was so frightened he nearly pissed himself!

His long sword, which he had spent a lot of money on, was a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Previously, when cutting people, it was extremely sharp, but now, someone had pinched it into powder with two fingers.

A true master, absolutely a master!

None of the six were fools; they shivered and immediately pleaded, “Senior, spare our lives, please spare our lives.”

“We were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai, please, great one, don’t remember the faults of us small folks. Spare us.”

The six big men trembled, continuously slapping their own faces, almost kneeling.

“Senior, this is your ten thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones,” the Scarred Man said shakily.

“Hmph! Just this once, and not again!”

Lin Xuan picked up the Spirit Stones, snorted coldly, and then walked into the city.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The six guards nodded incessantly like pecking chickens.

Only after confirming that Lin Xuan had indeed left did they finally catch their breath.

“Damn, that was scary, almost done for.”

“Way too dangerous, even more terrifying than being on the battlefield!

Could he be a genius disciple from a major power?”

The men quietly discussed among themselves, still shaken.

“Damn it, keep your eyes wide open from now on; we were lucky this time, but the next mistake might well be our last,” the Scarred Man said sternly.
