In a clearing, the corpses of over forty Silver Moon Wolves lay in pools of blood.
A blood-soaked youth stood proudly, long spear in hand. He slowly turned to face the two who had suddenly appeared behind him, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Lin Hai, Lin Tao? I didn't expect to run into you two so soon!"
The Abyssal Mountain Range was vast.
The Ten Great Celestial Prodigies were wary of one another, so they had scattered upon entering the Abyssal Mountain Range, putting as much distance between themselves and the others as possible.
This was especially true for the Three Prodigies and the One Tyrant; everyone else steered well clear of them.
Hong Yu had entered the mountains and imdiately headed deep into the Central Area, yet he had still run into them.
It really was just like the old saying: enemies are destined to cross paths!
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you're so arrogant. To think you could kill so many Silver Moon Wolves all by yourself. It seems we've all underestimated you," Lin Tao murmured, his eyes flashing with surprise as he scanned the wolf corpses littering the ground.
Lin Hai scoffed, his arms still crossed over his chest as he stared haughtily at Hong Yu. "To have such combat prowess at sixteen… I'm afraid your talent is comparable to that Hong Hu fellow. If you're allowed to mature, the Hong Family's younger generation will surely suppress my Lin Family once again. However…" A vicious glint appeared in Lin Hai's eyes. "If you're dead, all the talent in the world is useless!"
The Lin Hai brothers exchanged a look, each seeing the chilling killing intent in the other's heart.
The Hong Family and the Lin Family were old enemies, constantly locked in open and secret struggles.
During the promotion tournant, Hong Yu had decisively defeated Lin Yun, which was tantamount to a public slap in the face for the Lin Family. For the past few days, Lin Yun had been nagging them endlessly, urging them to kill Hong Yu and avenge him. On top of that, the two Lin Hai brothers had always held themselves in high regard, and being ignored by Hong Yu that day had naturally infuriated them.
Moreover…
Given the talent Hong Yu had displayed, his future achievents would be limitless if he were allowed to grow. That would an another powerful opponent for the Lin Family.
Emotionally or logically, they couldn't find a single reason not to kill Hong Yu!
"Brother, let's not waste words on this kid. Watch finish him off!" Lin Hai grinned nacingly. "He's killed so many Silver Moon Wolves, so he must have a lot of points in his Jade Order. After we kill him, we'll just split the points."
"Alright. I'll stand guard and make sure he doesn't escape," Lin Tao said with a nod.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tao tapped his toes on the ground and leaped back, taking up a flanking position.
SWOOSH!
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Hai summoned a long, slender saber into his palm.
The mont the saber appeared, it revealed a savage nature. Its sharp edge reflected a cold, bloody light, a clear sign that countless Lost Souls had t their end on its blade.
BUZZ!
Lin Hai gently caressed the big saber, which let out a soft hum, as if cheering in anticipation of the delicious blood it was about to taste.
'What a vicious saber!' Hong Yu's eyes narrowed as he murmured his approval.
Lin Hai said proudly, "This saber is nad 'Blood Slaughter.' It is a treasured heirloom of my Lin Family, just one step away from advancing to a Mortal-Level Primordial Weapon. Over the past century, no less than a thousand Lost Souls have fallen to the Blood Slaughter Saber, every one of them a hero or a Celestial Pride Son in their own right. To die by the Blood Slaughter today can be considered an honor for you!"
Lin Hai was imperious.
Even though Hong Yu had single-handedly killed over forty Silver Moon Wolves and demonstrated imnse strength, it still wasn't enough to make Lin Hai take him too seriously.
In his view, he too could have slain those forty-so Silver Moon Wolves.
Besides…
a group battle was vastly different from a one-on-one fight to the death.
"Hong Yu, die!"
Lin Hai roared, his voice like thunder. He executed the Following Step Technique and charged forward, the Blood Slaughter Great Saber in hand.
His cultivation was at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Essence Realm. With an imposing aura, his qi and blood surged as imnse power flooded into his arms in an instant. His muscles bulged with a CRACK-CRACK sound, ripping the sleeves covering his arms. He suddenly raised his right hand, which gripped the Blood Slaughter Saber, and slashed horizontally. A bloody saber light materialized, sweeping forward like a Divine Weapon's blade tearing through the void.
The sharp saber light carried a heart-stopping Evil Qi. If his opponent had been an ordinary Ninth-Layer Essence Realm expert, they would likely have been so terrified by the Blood Slaughter Saber's astounding Evil Qi that their legs would have gone weak, leaving them helpless and ready for capture!
"You want dead? You're not worthy!"
Hong Yu laughed heartily. Executing the Seven-Star Step, he thrust his long spear forward.
This ti, he didn't use Destruction. Against an opponent of the sa rank, there was no need to play his strongest trump card just yet.
The seemingly ordinary thrust incorporated a subtle change. His spear, which had been moving at a relatively slow speed, suddenly accelerated at the mont of impact. This was just like an Inch Fist, exploding with maximum power and speed over the shortest distance to produce the most devastating force!
BANG!
Saber and spear collided in mid-air.
A shower of blinding sparks spun out, as dazzling as a fire tree with silver flowers.
The smug smile on Lin Hai's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of horror and disbelief. The mont the weapons clashed, he felt an indescribably terrifying power transmit from the long spear. An imnse Dark Force bypassed his defenses and entered his body. The arm gripping the Blood Slaughter Saber issued a CRACK-CRACK sound as the Dark Force shattered most of the bones within.
"Get lost!"
Hong Yu closed the distance, his eyes cold, and kicked Lin Hai in the abdon.
With a pained cry of "AAH," Lin Hai was sent flying backward, snapping seven or eight large trees before his body finally ca to a stop. The Blood Slaughter Saber fell limply from his hand and plunged into the ground, its slightly trembling hilt seeming to vent its dissatisfaction and rage at its master's injury.
"Second Brother."
Lin Tao's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over.
He helped Lin Hai up and carefully examined him. Discovering that aside from the shattered bones in his right arm, his life wasn't in danger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took a small vial from his robes and poured out an erald-green Spirit Pill. The pill gave off a faint, pleasant fragrance; it was a Tier One Healing Pill, a Rejuvenation Pill, with a market price of 100,000.
The vial in Lin Tao's hand surprisingly held more than ten Rejuvenation Pills.
The resources of a Direct Lineage genius from a Noble Family were truly extraordinary!
"Second Brother, are you alright?" Lin Tao asked with concern.
Lin Hai's expression was extrely ugly. He gritted his teeth. "Thank you, Brother. The effects of this Rejuvenation Pill are excellent. I'm much better now." He shook his right hand; empowered by his Elental Power, the arm could move freely once more. He gripped the Blood Slaughter Great Saber again, his cold eyes sweeping toward Hong Yu. "I was careless and underestimated you just now. This ti, I will definitely take your life!"
Lin Hai leaped up, swinging the Blood Slaughter Great Saber in an illusory slash that stirred up faint blades of light, which ca slicing through the air.
"Chaotic Blade Technique!"
With a loud shout, Lin Hai swung the Blood Slaughter Great Saber faster and faster.
He was the son of the Lin Family's Patriarch and one of the Three Prodigies. The Chaotic Blade Technique he cultivated was a Top-Level Martial Skill, and thanks to his talent, he had already cultivated it to the Realm of Perfection. The Chaotic Blade Technique at the Realm of Perfection was all about the concept of "chaos." The saber's edge moved erratically, flickering through the air with a WHIRRING clamor, sending sand and stones flying and toppling trees wherever it passed.
The power of this technique was no less than that of the Rising Dragon Fist at the Realm of Perfection!
'Good, Second Brother's Chaotic Blade Technique is swift and impossible to defend against. Even I would have trouble dealing with it. This Hong Yu is a dead man!' Seeing this, Lin Tao's eyes revealed a relaxed expression.
After that brief exchange, he had already sensed Hong Yu's true cultivation: Late Ninth Layer of the Essence Realm. Although he was shocked that a mber of a branch family of the Hong Family could reach such a level at sixteen, on second thought, both he and his brother were at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Essence Realm and had even begun to comprehend the level of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
All they had to do was comprehend Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and guide it into their Primordial Veins to form a Primordial Spirit and advance to the Earth Soul Realm.
To the exceptionally talented Lin Hai brothers, Hong Yu was rely a promising genius who was about to be erased by their hands!
'Hong Yu, oh Hong Yu, no matter how talented you are, you're destined to fall at my brother's and my hands.' Lin Tao sneered inwardly.
As he watched the storm of blades from the Chaotic Blade Technique envelop Hong Yu, Lin Hai's eyes danced with excitent and bloodthirsty glee. "Kid, you're dead!"
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!
One blade after another assaulted him.
Hong Yu could even feel the frigid blade edges making the pores on his skin prickle and open up, while gusts of cold wind made his clothes flap wildly. He had, of course, noticed the expressions in the two brothers' eyes. Without any fancy moves, he once again executed an ordinary-looking spear thrust.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Wherever the spear tip passed, the blades of light—each one powerful enough to heavily injure an ordinary Ninth-Layer Essence Realm expert—were shattered one after another.
"Rising Dragon Fist!"
In the instant the two Lin brothers were stunned by his spear shattering the blades of light, Hong Yu used the Seven-Star Step to close the distance with Lin Hai. He threw a punch right at him!
The Rising Dragon Fist at the Great Perfection Realm was astonishingly powerful. Hong Yu himself seed to transform into a furious dragon soaring through the nine heavens.
"Damn it."
Lin Hai's face fell. The Fist Montum from the Rising Dragon Fist filled him with a heart-stopping terror, and he imdiately raised the Blood Slaughter Great Saber to block in front of his chest. At that very mont, Hong Yu's Rising Dragon Fist landed on the flat of the blade with an explosive BANG of colliding tal.
Lin Hai's expression froze. He let out a wretched cry as he vomited a mouthful of dark blood, his body flying backward.
The trendous force knocked the Blood Slaughter Great Saber from his hand. He crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get back up for a mont.
WHOOSH!
A cold glint flashed in Hong Yu's eyes as he charged forward again, long spear in hand.
He would show no rcy to an enemy who had provoked him ti and again, attempting to take his life.
"Hong Yu, you dare?"
Lin Tao, who had been standing by with his arms crossed, waiting to see Lin Hai ruthlessly kill Hong Yu, had a drastic change of expression. He roared, and a longsword gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand as he charged at Hong Yu. He thrust the sword, which was coated in a faint layer of icy blue Sword Qi. Lin Tao's strength was actually greater than Lin Hai's; he was a Half-Step Earth Soul Realm expert who had already begun to comprehend Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!
As his sword lanced forward, the surrounding air seed to freeze in an instant. The threatening aura of death imdiately enveloped Hong Yu. This strike already carried a trace of the aura of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and its power could be called the strongest technique beneath the Earth Soul Realm.
Lin Tao's expression was cold and vicious, his brutal voice filled with chilling confidence…
"To be able to die by my Godslaying Sword Technique—Hong Yu, you should be proud!"
