"What, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Why don't you take a look?"

Upon hearing Lin Ce's words, the "evil hero's" expression changed drastically.

What he just did was all he had to offer.

Aside from the still-unfinished exterior shots, he believed he had done enough.

But even so, he still couldn't defeat a mere innate martial artist and was forced to get close by the opponent.

"Well done, you really are impressive."

The "evil hero" nodded. "However, if I were to use such a method next, how would you respond?"

Lin Ce was taken aback, his mind now on high alert.

However, the expected offensive did not materialize.

The "evil hero" retreated rapidly, while the surrounding evil spirits were enveloped by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and instantly thrown into the distant sky.

At the scene, Lin Ce was slightly taken aback as he watched the "evil hero" flee in an instant.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that the other party would actually run away.

At the Grandmaster level, one can already mobilize the power of heaven and earth to fly for extended periods.

If the other party wanted to escape and Lin Ce hadn't stopped them at the beginning, it would have been even more difficult to catch up with them.

This scene was clearly unexpected by many of the martial artists present.

Lin Ce glanced at the masters present, but didn't say anything more.

He knew very well that if these masters were willing to intervene, the "evil hero" would have no chance of escaping.

For reasons unknown, they chose to remain on the sidelines, and Lin Ce didn't have high hopes either.

The martial artists watching the battle had all sorts of thoughts on their minds.

What was supposed to be a great battle between a master and a near-grandmaster ended up being so anticlimactic.

Regardless of the circumstances, from this day forward, Lin Ce and the Sihai Escort Agency have truly made their names known.

To force a quasi-grandmaster to flee at the innate level is a remarkable achievement worthy of being recorded in history.

The “Punishment Ceremony” has become a complete joke from beginning to end.

They promised to eliminate all the evil, but failed to do so, and the "evil hero" even broke through to a higher level of martial arts.

The top scribe of Qianqiu Pavilion walked over, looked at Lin Ce, and laughed heartily.

"Chief Escort Lin is a young hero. Given time, his name may not even be worthy of being listed on the Qingyun Ranking."

Lin Ce chuckled, not particularly impressed by such flattery, and simply said:

"In that case, everyone should disperse."

Many people came just to watch the spectacle, and now that there's nothing left to see, they naturally dispersed quickly.

Grandmaster Yang Xueqing glanced at Lin Ce and sighed inwardly.

"It's a pity, if it had been earlier, you might have had a chance to go in too..."

She clearly acknowledged Lin Ce's strength, but still felt that he was far from being good enough.

The gazes of the other two grandmasters turned towards them.

Yang Xueqing realized she had spoken out of turn and said no more.

Clearly, these masters were hiding some information that they did not want outsiders to know.

Lin Ce also left quickly.

The escape of the "villain" left him somewhat uneasy.

Given the opponent's ruthlessness, after being defeated by him, will he hide in the shadows, keeping a close eye on the escort team and attacking the rest of the Sihai Escort Agency?

He shook his head; in the end, he wasn't overly worried.

Nowadays, his martial arts skills are improving every day.

As the caravan's journey progressed, he continuously increased his skill points, and soon he would achieve another great leap forward.

Becoming a grandmaster martial artist who surpasses the innate level will probably not take long.

If one reaches the Grandmaster realm with a flawless body, what terrifying combat power would they possess?

Lin Ce was quite looking forward to it.

His path in martial arts, and the path to the Four Seas Escort Agency's dominance across the world, truly began from this moment.
