Lin Xi's eyelids trembled slightly, but he did not wake up. Lin Haoyu, however, saw a wisp of black energy slowly emanating from between his brows.
Lin Haoyu ignored this, merely snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
Suddenly, an astonishing power surged from Lin Xi's body. His face contorted with rage, he struggled to his feet, staring at Lin Haoyu's retreating figure, and coldly whispered, "Lin Haoyu, you will regret this!"
Although Lin Xi's cultivation had been crippled by Lin Haoyu, he was, after all, the young master of an eighth-grade sect, and his cultivation technique was extraordinary. Therefore, although he had lost all his cultivation, his physical body was not greatly damaged. On the contrary, due to the loss of his cultivation, he felt his whole body filled with incredible power. If he were in his prime, Lin Haoyu would be no match for him.
However, Lin Haoyu's eyes remained unmoved, and he instead mocked, "You are not qualified to challenge me. My master is a True Spirit Realm expert."
Lin Xi was taken aback upon hearing this, his eyes darting around as his thoughts raced. The True Spirit Realm!
In his memory, there had never been such a powerful person.
Although Lin Xi possessed exceptional talent, his cultivation speed was not fast; it took him only about three years to advance to the seventh-grade martial apprentice level. In contrast, Lin Haoyu's talent far surpassed his, and he was already a seventh-grade martial king. Lin Xi knew he was no match for Lin Haoyu. However, he was not cowardly, and faced with danger, he would never sit idly by and wait for death.
Thinking of this, a hint of madness flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. He suddenly pulled out a token from his pocket, crushed it with force, and let out a shrill scream.
A moment later, two figures flew in from afar. Leading them was Lin Haoyu's father, Lin Dongfeng, accompanied by a middle-aged man in a white robe.
The middle-aged man was about forty years old, dressed in a blue robe. He was tall and strong, and his handsome face with its distinct features revealed his good looks.
"Young Master, what happened to you?" Seeing his son covered in blood, Lin Dongfeng rushed over, hugged Lin Chao, and asked.
"Father, I'm fine." Lin Chao shook his head, then turned his gaze to Lin Xi and said coldly, "You dared to attack my parents, you deserve it. Today, I will cleanse the house for my parents." As he finished speaking, Lin Chao clenched his fists again.
boom!
However, just as Lin Chao raised his fist, Lin Dongfeng roared and grabbed Lin Chao's fist, his anger deepening.
"Your injuries are almost healed, there's no need for you to take any more risks. I'll handle this." Lin Dongfeng snorted dismissively, his gaze firm as he spoke to Lin Chao.
Lin Chao nodded in response, then released his arm, allowing Lin Dongfeng to support him as they walked into the distance.
"Young Master, how could you be so impulsive? How could you possibly defeat him? He's a True Spirit Realm expert!" Lin Dongfeng sighed as he watched his son's retreating figure.
"I don't care who he is, he must pay the price today!" Lin Chao replied in a cold voice.
"Sigh, you're just too soft-hearted. Leave this to me; you don't need to get involved." Lin Dongfeng shook his head, then turned to Lin Xi, his tone icy: "Lin Xi, I advise you to surrender, or you'll face the consequences."
Looking at Lin Dongfeng's cold expression, Lin Xi couldn't help but shiver.
"Lin Xi, if you're wise, hand over the token immediately," Lin Dongfeng said coldly, staring at Lin Xi.
"You wish!" Lin Xi cursed angrily.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dongfeng's murderous intent was fully revealed.
"Kid, don't be ungrateful!" Lin Dongfeng warned coldly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi's lips curled into a mocking smile as he retorted, "Lin Dongfeng, do you think I'm easily intimidated? I'm the twenty-ninth genius on the genius list. If we go all out, the outcome is uncertain."
Lin Dongfeng snorted and said, "Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He sneered, flipped his hand, and a black curved knife appeared in his palm.
This is a high-grade spiritual weapon called the Demon-Slaying Blade, which he obtained by chance during his travels.
The Demon-Slaying Blade was incredibly powerful, and this was only half of its full potential. Lin Chao's pupils constricted, and his breathing quickened the moment he saw the blade.
He held nothing back, his spiritual energy surging within him and pouring it all into his fists.
Lin Chao threw a punch, and a jet-black fist imprint shot out like a roaring dragon, its sharp fangs tearing through the sky. Lin Xi's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing this attack.
He could clearly feel the destructive power contained in Lin Chao's attack; if it were to hit him, he would certainly not be able to withstand it.
boom!
Lin Xi dared not delay and hurriedly poured his true essence into the Demon-Slaying Blade.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Instantly, the Demon-Slaying Blade unleashed a dazzling purple-gold light, like a blazing sun, enveloping Lin Xi's entire body. Then, Lin Xi gripped the blade to meet the attack, his face filled with fierce determination.
A surge of powerful energy swept through, forcing Lin Chao to stagger back several steps before he could barely regain his footing.
Deep down, Lin Chao was still shocked. Although he knew that Lin Xi's martial arts were unfathomable, he never expected that she would be so powerful.
While Lin Chao was still in shock, the fierce battle between Lin Dongfeng and Lin Xi had already begun. A dull thud rang out, and the two figures were sent flying backward at the same time, crashing heavily to the ground.
Blood gushed out as Lin Chao's body embedded itself in the soil. Lin Xi lay in the grass not far away, pale-faced, blood spurting from his mouth.
His chest was ripped open by Lin Dongfeng's Demon-Slaying Blade, leaving a gruesome gash from which blood gushed.
"Lin Xi, do you still remember the lesson you learned today?" Lin Dongfeng stared at Lin Xi with a chilling murderous intent and asked in a cold voice.
"I..." Lin Xi was horrified, not expecting Lin Dongfeng to actually make a move, especially in front of Lin Chao.
"Lin Xi, I've treated you with utmost courtesy all these years, yet you dare to betray your family and abandon our friendship. You've truly let down the Lin family's years of hard work in raising you." Lin Dongfeng stared at Lin Xi and said coldly, "However, I won't take your life now. You can decide what happens to your family yourself, and as for your wife, children, and elderly parents, I'll handle that."
"No!" Lin Xi's eyes flashed with pain upon hearing this.
"But I am not a man of indiscriminate killing. I will personally take care of your wife and daughters. After all, they are also members of the Lin family, and as an elder of the Lin family, I have a responsibility to protect them." Lin Dongfeng said indifferently, and then walked towards Lin Xi.
