Chapter 54: Ambush To Kill

Lin Han left Broken Sky Mountain Villa by himself.

The air was chilly under the night sky.

Lin Han furrowed his brows slightly. Ever since he left the mountain villa, he had been sensing a hint of a cold killing intent lurking in the dark.

His strong perception made him more alert.

‘Someone’s trying to ambush me!

‘Is it someone from the sect residence?’

A number of faces flashed in his mind right away.

“Bzz”

Without any hesitation, he activated his Spirit Master Heavenly Eye.

Following that, a giant spirit-shaped eyeball rose from Lin Han’s body, and hung in the night sky to overlook the area.

“I found them!”

Almost the instant he activated the Spirit Master Heavenly Eye, he noticed three figures lying in ambush in the dense forest.

“Lin Badao, the white-eyebrowed elder, and a strange middle-aged man in black armor!”

Lin Han immediately identified the three figures.

The Governor’s Residence’s symbol could be seen on the strange man’s armor.

‘Is he a powerhouse among the Shadow Guards from the Governor’s Residence?’

Lin Han looked at him coldly.

Lin Badao would join hands with the white-browed elder and the Governor’s Residence to kill me? How dare he!

‘Lin Badao and the elder are clearly doing this to take revenge, but what about the Governor’s residence?

‘Because I’m a Heavenly Pride!’

After pondering for a while, Lin Han quickly figured things out.

‘Looks like the Governor’s Residence plans to destroy me since they failed to rope me in.’

‘Lin Badao has the cultivation base of sixth tier martial art, which is none of my concern now, but based on the aura of the white-eyebrowed elder and the black-armored man, it looks like they’re both half a step from the Grandmaster Boundary. It’ll be fine if I’m going against one of them, but three at once becomes very risky…’

Lin Han immediately analyzed the situation himself.

A normal Heavenly Pride would be doomed in this situation, but he possessed a damaged spirit weapon, which was a bow that could instantly kill a Master at the peak of sixth tier martial art.

Since he did not show his tricks as a Spirit Master at the Martial Arts Exchange earlier, he was sure that the three men would not see it coming.

With that, as long as he managed things well, the odds would be in his favor.

“Hmph, are you trying to kill me? What perfect timing, I’ll get rid of all my troubles tonight!”

Once Lin Han decided on his course of action, he headed in Lin Clan Sect Residence’s direction without haste.

His Spirit Master Heavenly Eye was hanging quietly in the night sky.

Somewhere far in the dense forest.

“This fella’s going to die tonight!” Lin Badao said cruelly.

“We can get rid of a Martial Grandmaster in seventh tier martial arts with a secret ambush, let alone this lad in sixth tier martial arts,” The white-eyebrowed elder expressed angrily.

Previously, it was Lin Han who killed his disciple and forced him to leave, thus he naturally loathed Lin Han.

On the other hand, the black-armored man felt rather odd.

He did not expect the two men to despise Lin Han to that extent, and that they would be forced to their wits’ ends because of him as well.

As such, the black-armored fan was slightly wary of the young green-robed man, because he knew that he was certainly not an ordinary person.

Nonetheless, the three men were unaware that a giant spirit-shaped eyeball was watching their every move from above their heads.

If they looked up and noticed it, they might be terribly appalled.

A brief moment later.

“Eh? That fella actually stopped?” Lin Badao was confused.

Upon hearing him, the others quickly looked over.

They saw Lin Han sitting on an empty spot, retrieving a shiny spirit stone.

“It’s a top-grade spirit stone!” The white-eyebrowed elder looked at the stone with fiery eyes, then mentioned, “That fella’s trying to absorb the spirit stone’s power to advance to the next boundary.”

“Hahaha! Even God is helping me. Once he’s at the point of breaking through, which is when he can’t care for himself, we’ll kill him right away, and that top-grade spirit stone will be our trophy!” Lin Badao was extremely excited.

“Alright. Looks like he’s trying to advance his cultivation base before returning to the sect residence, so that he can go against Lin Gutian once he goes back, but we found out about his secret.” The white-eyebrowed elder was greedy as well, and had strong killing intent.

“Is he really trying to breakthrough to go against Lin Gutian when he’s back at Lin Clan Sect Residence?”

Beside Lin Badao and the white-eyebrowed elder, the black-armored man was dubious.

He vaguely felt that something was off.

However, once he thought about his ambush target being just a 17-year-old boy, he got rid of the thought.

‘So what if that young green-robed man did it on purpose?’

Among the three of them, one of them was a Master at the peak of sixth tier martial arts, whereas the other two were half a step from Grandmasters. Could they not kill a young man in sixth tier martial arts?

“Let’s go!”

The three of them looked at each other, then stayed low as they approached Lin Han who was sitting with his legs crossed on the empty ground.

At that moment, they did not notice the giant spirit-shaped eyeball hanging above the sky looking at them contemptuously…
