In the distance, flesh burst open like blooming flowers, spraying around. A large amount of blood disappeared in midair, and the flesh quickly withered as if something had sucked it dry.
The members of the Radiance Society who had just broken out of the cave all wore tense expressions, fearfully staring at Lin Xin standing before them.
"Are you... not here to assist us?"
An elder said with a trembling voice.
Just moments before, as they had burst out of the cave, the leading Confucian scholar was struck head-on by a sword from this middle-aged man, exploding on the spot.
Lin Xin's eyes were scattered and then converged, converged and then scattered again, like circles that continually shrank and then expanded.
"No! It seems like he's under someone else's control!" the elder exclaimed, realizing something was amiss and shouted loudly.
Bang!
Lin Xin suddenly appeared behind him, and with a slanted slash of his sword, he cleaved the elder in two.
