As night fell upon the city, the moonlight spilled over everything with its immaculate glow.
In Zhonghai, inside an ordinary residential building, Lin Tianhai, Du Huixian, and Lin Xiaoyan—a family of three—were happily enjoying their al together.
Ever since their previous ho was discovered by experts from Ruthless Valley and Qingyun Sect, they had found a new, secret residence in Zhonghai in hopes of evading the pursuit of these two major sects.
"Co on, Dad, Mom, try the dishes I made." Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile, continually serving food to Lin Tianhai and Du Huixian.
However, Lin Tianhai’s brows were slightly furrowed, his expression sowhat grave.
"What’s wrong, Tianhai?" Du Huixian asked her husband with a puzzled look, as Lin Xiaoyan also turned her gaze toward Lin Tianhai.
"I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy, as if sothing bad is about to happen." Lin Tianhai said worriedly, his forehead creased with tension.
Hearing Lin Tianhai’s words, Du Huixian’s complexion changed slightly, "You don’t think the people from Ruthless Valley and Qingyun Sect have found us again, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s face also turned pale, as she had co to understand the matters of the Hidden Sect and knew the terror of Ruthless Valley and Qingyun Sect. If they were found by them, their family would be dood.
"Dad, Mom, what should we do now? Should we leave here as quickly as possible?" Lin Xiaoyan hastily asked.
Lin Tianhai forced a smile and said, "Don’t worry so much, I’m just feeling a bit uneasy; it doesn’t necessarily an that they have found us. Moreover, our current residence is so hidden that even if they wanted to find us, it wouldn’t be easy. Of course, if they truly do co, I will fight to the death to protect you two."
By the end, a cold glint flashed in Lin Tianhai’s eyes, and a terrifying aura surged through his body, indicating that his power had exceeded the Innate Peak Stage and he had stepped into the Half-Saint Realm.
More than a decade ago, while he was with Qingyun Sect, Lin Tianhai had already been a formidable practitioner in the Half-Saint Realm, with a great chance of entering the Saint Realm before the age of thirty, potentially becoming the youngest Saint Realm master ever in Qingyun Sect.
Although he had wasted more than a decade due to injuries to his legs, abandoning his martial arts, his strength gradually returned after Ye Luo healed his legs. He had now fully regained his status in the Half-Saint Realm.
The Half-Saint Realm is a transitional threshold between the Innate Peak Stage and the Saint Realm, possessing part of the might of the Saint Realm. Its practitioners are more powerful than those at the Innate Peak Stage but have not yet fully entered the Saint Realm or beco Saint Realm warriors.
"I didn’t expect your strength to have recovered already!"
An abrupt voice resounded through the Lin household, instantly changing the expressions on the faces of Lin Tianhai and his family as they all turned toward the source of the voice—the balcony.
Under the illumination of the light, the silhouette of a man dressed in a blue Chinese-style gown with traditional hair accessories could be seen. His eyes flashed with a cold, rciless light, and he stood there silently, solidifying the air in the entire house.
"A man from Qingyun Sect!"
Lin Tianhai’s gaze hardened, his face turned extrely serious, while Du Huixian quickly positioned herself in front of Lin Xiaoyan, her expression equally grave.
The figure was Lei Ting, the number one disciple of Sect Master Liao Mingkui of Qingyun Sect. Previously, he had pressured the Fang Family to track down Lin Tianhai’s family, and with the vast power of the Fang Family at his disposal, he had finally located them—thus, Lei Ting had appeared here.
Lei Ting, with a cold deanor, stepped inside, a black-sheathed longsword slung across his back. His presence exuded a distinct aura, enveloping the whole house and making the air seem almost stagnant. The aura mixed with the dominion of the Saint Realm, indicating that Lei Ting was also a practitioner of the Half-Saint Realm.
"To reach the Half-Saint Realm at your age suggests that your status within Qingyun Sect is not low," Lin Tianhai’s eyes fixed on Lei Ting as he spoke in a deep voice.
"My master is Liao Mingkui," Lei Ting replied with a cold voice.
Upon hearing that na, Lin Tianhai’s pupils shrank, a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he involuntarily clenched his fists, hissing through his teeth, "Liao Mingkui!"
His tone was laced with a chilling intent to kill. Back in the Qingyun Sect, Lin Tianhai and Liao Mingkui were both personal disciples of the Sect Master. He was the second disciple, while Liao Mingkui was the third. He had always been good to his junior brother, and they had a very close relationship.
Unexpectedly, Liao Mingkui had taken advantage of an opportunity to launch a sneak attack that crippled his legs, leaving him wheelchair-bound for over a decade and a cripple, which is why Lin Tianhai was filled with a surge of killing intent upon hearing that na again.
"I never thought you would be his disciple, how unexpected indeed!" Lin Tianhai said in a voice dripping with cold malice as true killing intent surged forth from his being.
"My master asked to deliver a ssage: he only crippled your legs back then as a way to repay you for your care. Today, I will take his place and exterminate you."
Lei Ting spoke indifferently, with the True Qi inside him already circulating, a terrifying aura spreading out completely.
"He really is ruthless. But to kill , we’ll have to see if you, the younger generation, possess the strength," Lin Tianhai roared angrily, his toe tapping the ground as his body instantly turned into a shadow darting forth, and with the force of a thousand-pound weight, his palm slamd forward, shaking the void, stirring up a turbulent energy.
Bang!
Facing Lin Tianhai’s strong palm, Lei Ting unleashed a direct punch, his fist surging with rampant True Qi.
The collision of the two forces created a terrifying burst of energy. Everything inside the room was destroyed in an instant, with both figures stumbling backward.
"You have so skill. It seems Liao Mingkui trained you well," said Lin Tianhai in a deep voice.
Lei Ting said nothing, his eyes narrowing into two sharp points as a terrible power churned within him, his hands rapidly forming a seal.
"Heavenly Thunder shocks the Earth, all things turn to silence!"
"Thunderbolt Sword Technique, Thunder World Extermination!"
As Lei Ting chanted the incantation, Lin Tianhai’s expression changed imdiately, his eyes showing a hint of shock: "You’ve actually learned the Thunderbolt Sword Technique."
Boom!
A sound of thunder abruptly rang out as Lei Ting swung his hand, finally drawing his longsword, which was already charged with a purple glow aid straight at Lin Tianhai. The purple sword light, like a descending thunderbolt, carried the montum of annihilating everything as it thrust forward.
This terrifying sword technique imdiately forced Du Huixian and Lin Xiaoyan to step back continuously. Had it not been for Du Huixian’s protection, Lin Xiaoyan might have been unable to withstand the powerful aura, and would have likely ended up lying on the ground.
