Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 651: A Desperate Strike

Tian Xin had already felt that Lin Shen would hold out, as long as he could endure a bit longer, perhaps his father would send someone to look for him.

Who would have guessed that Lin Shen would suddenly pull such a move, jumping wildly as if he was right in front of Ghost Gate, seemingly afraid that Yama wouldn’t see him.

Not to mention Tian Xin, even those secretly paying attention to this side were stunned by Lin Shen, completely unable to comprehend what he was doing.

To provoke Tian Xiaocao, to abandon a defensive stance—if such an act were done by a higher-level expert against a lower-level one, it might be considered reasonable.

However, Lin Shen was merely an Ascender, facing the top-tier Nirvana Being Tian Xiaocao; his actions were no different from seeking death.

"Where on earth did he get the courage?" Tian Xiaofeng looked at Lin Shen as though he was looking at an idiot.

"This person... is too interesting..." Tian Xiaoya’s eyes lit up.

Feng Xiaosong put his hand to his forehead and said, "Isn’t this foolishness? I actually thought he had some ability just now, I must have been dizzy from waiting for too long."

Even if Lin Shen defended with all his might, he might not be able to withstand Tian Xiaocao’s swordsmanship, now such a move, seemed to anyone like courting death.

Lin Shen himself didn’t think he was courting death, nor did he arrogantly believe he could easily block Tian Xiaocao’s swordsmanship.

In the over two hours of confrontation with Tian Xiaocao, Lin Shen had deeply felt the strength and high level of Tian Xiaocao’s swordsmanship.

When it came to mastery alone, among those Lin Shen had met, there were but a handful who could be considered stronger than Tian Xiaocao.

The reason he acted this way was that he knew the chances were slim he would meet Tian Jue today.

Someone from the Tian Family didn’t want him to meet Tian Jue; Tian Xiaocao made it clear from the beginning, even if Lin Shen won, he would only have passed this one challenge.

By implication, there were certainly more people waiting for Lin Shen afterwards.

Lin Shen was unsure whether their behavior stemmed from Tian Jue’s instructions or someone else’s doing.

The likelihood of Tian Jue giving such instructions seemed slim; if Tian Jue didn’t want to meet him, he wouldn’t have agreed to Tian Xun’s request.

But it also couldn’t be ruled out that something had happened after Tian Jue had agreed, causing him to regret.

Regardless of the possibility, Lin Shen knew the chances of meeting Tian Jue today were slim.

Upon reflection, Lin Shen felt that if he still wanted to meet Tian Jue, he couldn’t keep passively battling through each challenge.

Even if he could defeat Tian Xiaocao, who knows what tough challenges the Tian Family had arranged for him later. If they truly didn’t want him to meet Tian Jue, they might even arrange for an Immortal to stop him, as the Tian Jue Family was not without Immortals.

"Are you sure?" Tian Xiaocao stared at Lin Shen, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Since you dare not draw your sword, then I have no choice but to do this," Lin Shen said indifferently.

"Provocation won’t work on me. Whether you defend or not, I will strike," Tian Xiaocao said.

"If I don’t use a defensive stance, and just stand here and take your strike, will I be able to see Tian Jue?" Lin Shen stared at Tian Xiaocao and asked.

Lin Shen’s words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Tian Xiaocao’s heart.

"This is bad," Tian Xiaofeng realized the gravity of the situation and said with a grave expression, "Lin Shen really does have some cunning tactics. If Xiaocao says he can do it, then we can’t use the obstacles we’ve set up later, otherwise Xiaocao would have to step forward to solve his problems. But if we let Xiaocao say he can’t, I fear it would shatter his moral compass."

"The opponent is an Ascender, and he has given up his defensive position, even I would not be able to say it’s impossible, that would truly be a breach of defenses," Tian Xiaosong sighed, "With little brother Xiaocao’s temperament, it’s even less likely that he would say it’s impossible."

"This guy is getting more and more interesting; he seems reckless but is actually very cunning," Tian Xiaoya said with a smile, "But he has overlooked a critical issue. He is inherently at a disadvantage, and he has given up his defense, can he really withstand Xiaoqi’s sword?"

"Of course he can’t," Tian Xiaosong snorted coldly, "He has no idea just how terrifying Xiaocao’s ’Sword that Slays Seven Lives’ is. If Xiaocao didn’t mind taking his life, a full-force attack would be unstoppable. No matter how perfect his defense, it wouldn’t hold against Xiaoqi’s sword."

Tian Xiaofeng forced a bitter smile and said, "He has really thought wrong. He thinks Xiaocao is in a stalemate with him because Xiaocao can’t handle him, when in fact Xiaocao is merely refraining from using his full strength to avoid taking his life. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. This statement of his could cost him his life; now we’re in trouble. How will we explain this to the aunt afterwards?"

"Lin Shen, don’t spout nonsense," Tian Xin could tell from Tian Xiaocao’s changing expressions that his Seventh Brother was truly angered.

Tian Xin stepped forward to pull Lin Shen away, recognizing that nothing was more important than life. If Tian Xiaocao were enraged, it could really be life-threatening.

Tian Xin gave a tug, but Lin Shen didn’t budge an inch, still looking at Tian Xiaocao and asking, "Can you, or can you not?"

"I can," a trace of a smile unexpectedly appeared on Tian Xiaocao’s typically cold face.

However, his smile contained no friendliness or joy, but rather a bone-deep chill.

After answering, Tian Xiaocao slowly transferred his sword from his left hand to his right.

"It’s over!" Seeing Tian Xiaocao now holding the sword with his right hand, Tian Xin’s heart skipped a beat.

"In the Tian Jue Family," everyone knew, "sword drawn by the right, Sword that Slays Seven Lives; sword drawn by the left, not a blade of grass survives."

If Tian Xiaocao used his right hand to draw his sword, there was still a glimmer of hope. If he switched to his left hand, it meant he intended to kill, leaving no chance of survival.

Tian Xiaocao gripped the hilt with his left hand, and looked at him coldly, saying, "If you can survive this sword of mine without dying, I will take you to see our father."

"Good, straightforward, bring it on," Lin Shen held the unsheathed Scrap Sword casually in his left hand, standing there nonchalantly.

Tian Xiaocao’s swordsmanship was strong and his realm high, but so what? Read latest chapters at novelbuddy

In terms of skill and realm, Wei Wufu was not inferior to Tian Xiaocao, and Tie was far stronger than Tian Xiaocao.

Lin Shen’s blade technique had been honed under their oppression; he did not fear such a strong swordsman.

Tian Xin wanted to say something more but didn’t dare, and she certainly didn’t dare pull Lin Shen away.

Because Tian Xiaocao was about to draw his sword, anything she did now would only distract Lin Shen and make his death even more miserable.

Finally, Tian Xiaocao drew his sword. His sword was fast, but not the fastest; it was precise, but not the most perfect.

Yet, this sword stroke seemed like the traceless horns of an antelope, or as if it came from beyond the heavens, baffling to comprehend.

One could clearly see his sword, yet it was impossible to know how to defend against it.

Lin Shen didn’t try to defend; he didn’t even look at the incoming sword from Tian Xiaocao. At the very moment Tian Xiaocao drew his sword, Lin Shen also unsheathed the Scrap Sword, slashing towards Tian Xiaocao.
