As it turns out, these people underestimated the speed of Lin Yun and his group.
Led by Xiao Chong, Lin Yun and his group quickly closed the distance between themselves and the three half-step super strongmen.
"We can't leave now. Prepare for battle immediately and hold out until the other half-step super strongmen of our Manwei family arrive..." One of the three half-step super strongmen of the Manwei family said in a low voice, his expression changing drastically.
"Boom—Boom—"
Soon, the battle broke out.
"Trying to deal with us? Do you think we're pushovers?" A half-step super-strong member of the Manwei family shouted as he unleashed powerful attacks and trump cards.
"What? A mental cultivator?" The next moment, the half-step super strongman of the Manwei family changed his expression slightly and exclaimed in surprise.
He hadn't expected that there was a mental cultivator among them. Although his cultivation level wasn't high, his mental domain and skills were extremely powerful, which greatly affected them. Normally, they wouldn't care, but now, facing six half-step super strong individuals, they had no choice but to take it seriously.
Among Xiao Chong's group, Xia Qingqing rapidly formed hand seals, quickly unleashing a series of spiritual handprints.
"And that boy who's at the mid-stage of level twelve..." The half-step super powerhouse from the Manwei family turned his gaze to Lin Yun again, his expression becoming even more unpleasant.
At the mid-stage of level twelve, he actually possesses the strength of a half-step super powerhouse?
Where did this pervert come from?!
This means that they are facing not just six half-step super strongmen, but seven half-step super strongmen!
No, not seven half-step super strong individuals, but eight half-step super strong individuals!
The mental domain and mental skills used by that girl who cultivated mental energy had an impact on them that was no less than that of a half-step super strong person, and perhaps even stronger!
And then there's Xiao Chong!
Previously, he had been speculating that Xiao Chong's strength was probably not that great, and that it was only through the combined efforts of several people and a surprise attack that they were able to kill Old Ancestor Tie Mu!
However, now that he has personally stepped into the fray and is fighting at such close range, he realizes that his thinking was wrong!
Xiao Chong's strength was far greater than he had imagined!
They're probably going to be in deep trouble this time!
Come to think of it... Even Old Ancestor Tiemu was no match for these people... The combined strength of the three of them was still not as strong as Old Ancestor Tiemu's...
At that moment, they felt deep regret.
If they had known, they would have listened to Old Ancestor Tiemu and not come.
Or, they can come over when there are more of them.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life, and it's too late for them to regret it now.
...
One day later.
"Including Ancestor Tiemu, there are a total of nine half-step super strongmen in the Manwei family, which is really no more than ten. We killed five of them, and there are four left..." Xiao Chong looked up in one direction and said softly.
Even in the ninth-level civilization star domain, a half-step super strongman is a formidable existence, and each half-step super strongman can almost support a large family.
The Manwei family has a total of nine half-step super powerhouses, including a powerful figure like the Ironwood Ancestor. Several other half-step super powerhouses are also quite strong, which makes Xiao Chong sigh that they are indeed an ancient family with a history of hundreds of millions of years.
No wonder the Manwei family has a considerable reputation in the ninth-level civilization star domain.
However, the Manwei family, now reduced to only four half-step super-strong individuals, is already crippled.
According to the information he had just gathered, the Manwei family also had many enemies, much like the Ouyang family. Not to mention anything else, just considering the Ouyang family, there were still three half-step super strongmen outside who had not been killed. When the Ironwood Ancestor was still alive, he not only killed two half-step super strongmen of the Ouyang family, but also dealt a terrible blow to the Ouyang family.
Now that Patriarch Tiemu is dead, only four of the nine half-step super experts of the Manwei family remain. Those three half-step super experts from the Ouyang family will definitely not let them go.
Not to mention, the Manway family also had some enemies whose strength was once comparable to, or only slightly weaker than, that of the Manway family.
Those people will definitely not let the Manway family have an easy time in the future.
"The Manwei family is finished. Those four half-step super strongmen will have trouble protecting themselves, so they probably won't have the energy to deal with my Xiao family members," Xiao Chong thought to himself.
"Thank you for your help, Young Master Lin, Brother Lianshan, and Brother Qingluo..." Xiao Chong then turned to Lin Yun and his group and said with a smile.
“Brother Xiao, you’re too kind. We’re all together. Besides, these people dare to cause trouble for Young Master Lin, so we certainly can’t let them get away with it,” Lian Shan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
In this battle, he witnessed Xiao Chong's strength. In fact, excluding the influence of Lin Yun and his group, this battle made them befriend Xiao Chong. For this reason alone, their actions were not too bad.
The Xiao family and their clan live in the same star system, so there's no harm in them building a good relationship with Xiao Chong.
Qingluo and Heimeng also quickly waved their hands.
"Brother Xiao, you flatter me. To be honest, that Old Ancestor Tie Mu came looking for me, and it was Brother Xiao who saved me from some trouble," Lin Yun said with a smile.
"Young Master Lin, you're too kind. We're all in this together, it's only natural that we'd advance and retreat together," Xiao Chong said with a smile.
As he spoke, Xiao Chong felt a surge of emotion.
By this time, a day had passed, and he had finally understood what Old Ancestor Tiemu had been talking about.
It turns out that Lin Yun was actually related to the Bloodthirsty Sword in the hands of that Bloodthirsty Demon.
It seems that Lin Yun has a way to make that blood sword turn against the Bloodthirsty Demon.
In short, whoever obtains Lin Yun has a great chance of obtaining the Bloodthirsty Sword.
This is the meaning that the Old Ancestor Tiemu conveyed.
It has to be said, that's a very hurtful statement.
Xiao Chong was well aware of the allure of the Bloodthirsty Sword to many powerful individuals, including many super-powerful ones. No wonder Old Ancestor Tie Mu dared to say that even some super-powerful individuals might have designs on Lin Yun.
Whoever obtains Lin Yun will have a great chance of acquiring the Bloodthirsty Sword, and those super strong individuals might actually seek out Lin Yun.
It's just a pity...
Xiao Chong shook his head slightly.
Old Ancestor Tiemu probably doesn't know the background of Lin Yun and his group.
He, Lian Shan, and Hua Yang knew that Lin Yun and his group had come from the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Among the top experts of the ninth-level civilization star domain, especially those super experts, how many do not know about the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and how many are not afraid of the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
As long as they spread the word about Lin Yun and his group's origins, which super strong expert would dare to deal with them?
Ignorance is bliss, and perhaps some low-level powerhouses who are unaware of the Immortal Origin Holy Land are not afraid.
However, he didn't take those low-level experts seriously at all.
Although he knew that Lin Yun might be related to the Bloodthirsty Sword, and that he might obtain the Bloodthirsty Sword through Lin Yun.
However, Xiao Chong remained unmoved.
Thousands of years ago, he visited the sacred land of immortals.
He was well aware of the power of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and the power of those Saint-level experts.
The Immortal Origin Holy Land has more than one Saint-level expert.
So what if he gets the Bloodthirsty Sword?
So what if he breaks through to the Super Realm with the Bloodthirsty Sword?
As long as a Saint-level expert makes a move... he will be completely suppressed...
Or, there's no need for a Saint-level expert to intervene at all.
Xiao Chong still remembered what Lin Yun and his group had talked about a few days ago.
Behind Lin Yun is a super golden beast.
He had also looked into the terrifying power of the Super Golden Beast during this period.
That was truly terrifying.
A super strong person could be killed by a super golden beast with just a few swipes of its claws.
Back then, the owner of the Bloodthirsty Sword had also reached the Super Realm. He was extremely arrogant and domineering, killing ordinary super strong people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. But what happened when he faced a super golden beast?
The master of the Bloodthirsty Sword has fallen!
It is said that although the super golden beast was injured, it survived. Regardless of the super golden beast's strength, this means that the super golden beast's strength surpasses that of the owner of the Bloodthirsty Sword!
If he dares to make a move against Lin Yun, he won't be a match for that super golden beast.
"Um?"
Just then, Xiao Chong's pupils contracted slightly.
Super Golden Beast, Bloodthirsty Sword, Lin Yun?
"Could it be that the super golden beast is the same super golden beast that was used to deal with the owner of the Bloodthirsty Sword? So, the Bloodthirsty Sword is connected to that super golden beast, and Lin Yun is also connected to the Bloodthirsty Sword? So, Lin Yun can make that Bloodthirsty Sword turn against Nan Weng?"
Xiao Chong thought to himself in surprise.
Thinking about it carefully, these things are very likely to happen.
If we think about it more deeply...
What is the relationship between that super golden beast and the Immortal Origin Holy Land? What is the relationship between that bloodthirsty sword and the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
Back then, some saints from the Immortal Origin Holy Land taught without discrimination, and many powerful star beasts went to stop and learn. He always suspected that the super golden beast behind Lin Yun had a great relationship with the Immortal Origin Holy Land!
Now, he was even more suspicious!
In this situation, his idea of taking the Bloodthirsty Sword is practically suicide!
"The Bloodthirsty Sword is powerful, but it's not something I can obtain!" Xiao Chong shook his head and thought to himself.
Moreover, he had always heard that the Bloodthirsty Sword could affect its master and was not easy to control. Every master of the Bloodthirsty Sword had met a bad end. He should not even think about such a treasure!
...
Next, Lin Yun and his group continued their journey to the venue of the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition.
However, the news of their battle with the top experts of the Manwei family has caused quite a stir throughout the entire ninth-level civilization star domain.
"In our Ninth-Level Civilization Star Domain, another formidable figure has emerged: Xiao Chong, the patriarch of the Xiao family in the Ainan Star System! You know the Ironwood Patriarch of the Manwei family, right? Xiao Chong severely injured him with just a few attacks, and finally, together with several half-step super-strong experts, he killed the Ironwood Patriarch. He also killed four half-step super-strong experts who came to his aid, resulting in the fall of five half-step super-strong experts..."
"The most shocking thing is the fall of Old Ancestor Tiemu. There was once a super strong person who said that even if he wanted to kill Old Ancestor Tiemu, it would not be easy. Yet he was killed by Xiao Chong and a few other half-step super strong people. Their combined strength is probably not as good as that of a super strong person, but it is about the same!"
"Ainan Galaxy, Xiao Chong!"
"It is said that Xiao Chong is only 870,000 years old and did not participate in the last Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition. This time, he will probably obtain a Heavenly Dao Fruit spot among the participants at the peak level 12!"
Some powerful figures were discussing the matter, some praising Xiao Chong's prowess, while others worried about Xiao Chong's chances of securing a spot.
“Old Ancestor Tiemu, I have fought with him before. His strength was indeed formidable. I never expected that he would be killed. Xiao Chong... you really need to be careful…” In a private room, a half-step super strongman narrowed his eyes and said softly.
However, he was a half-step super strongman with strength comparable to that of Old Ancestor Tiemu, and he also wanted to participate in the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition to obtain a Heavenly Dao Fruit spot.
Clearly, Xiao Chong has become one of his competitors, and a very threatening one at that.
"It's normal that it's difficult for a super strong expert to kill Old Ancestor Tiemu. Old Ancestor Tiemu isn't stupid. He wouldn't just let a super strong expert kill him as soon as he sees one. On the contrary, it's easier for a half-step super strong expert to kill Old Ancestor Tiemu. It took six half-step super strong experts working together to kill Old Ancestor Tiemu. So Xiao Chong's strength isn't that great!"
Some people were unconvinced by Xiao Chong's strength and pursed their lips, saying...
"However, can that Lin Yun really make the Bloodthirsty Sword turn against its master? If so, it might actually be possible to obtain the Bloodthirsty Sword through Lin Yun!"
"The Bloodthirsty Sword..."
Some people stared at Lin Yun in Xiao Chong's group, seemingly lost in thought.
However, there's no rush.
Some shrewd individuals knew that the news had already spread, and even some super-powerful individuals might be tempted. Who knew what kind of trouble Lin Yun would cause? If they got involved at this time, they might not even know how they died.
Moreover, Lin Yun and his group were accompanied by figures like Xiao Chong and several other half-step super strong individuals, who were not easy to deal with.
Let's wait and see how things develop.
Of course, besides some people with low IQs, there were also some impulsive people who immediately headed towards Lin Yun and his group, trying to find their location. It seemed that as long as they obtained the exact location of Lin Yun and his group, they would find them.
...
"Three days ago, a major event occurred in the Ninth-Level Civilization Star Domain!"
The past few days had been peaceful. On this day, Xiao Chong gathered everyone together and said with a solemn expression.
"Brother Xiao, what major event has occurred?"
Qinglu asked.
Xiao Chong's strength far surpasses theirs, and his information channels also far exceed theirs. In particular, since Xiao Chong became famous recently, it seems that he can obtain all kinds of information faster and more widely.
Everyone looked towards Xiao Chong.
“Three days ago, the super strong Mo family patriarch Mo Hande killed hundreds of thousands of people from the Nanweng family, and almost wiped out the core disciples!” Xiao Chong said.
"What?"
"Those super-strong individuals really dared to kill Nan Weng's clansmen?"
Some people were slightly surprised.
Including Lin Yun and his group, they had learned during this time that, under normal circumstances, the grudges between high-level cultivators were not allowed to involve the other party's family members on a large scale unless there was a great reason. Small-scale grudges could not be judged, so no one cared.
Namohand actually killed hundreds of thousands of people in the Nanweng family, almost wiping out their core disciples, which is a serious violation of the rules.
"What was Nanweng's reaction?" Soon, Lian Shan remembered something else and asked.
"This is the next big thing I was talking about, and it's a really big thing," Xiao Chong nodded.
“A day ago, Nan Weng attacked the Mo family and killed hundreds of thousands of people, most of whom were core disciples. Mo Hande was furious and rushed back to the Mo family, but was killed by Nan Weng in a dozen moves and then left!” After a pause, Xiao Chong took a deep breath and said.
What does it mean to kill a super strong expert in just a dozen moves?
"Has Nan Weng already broken through to the Super Realm?"
Lin Yun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said.
"I'm afraid so." Xiao Chong nodded.
To kill a super strong person in a dozen or so moves is roughly equivalent to the strength of the Bloodthirsty Sword's owner who reached the super realm. Even compared to that super golden beast, he estimated that it was about the same level.
Aside from Nan Weng breaking through to the Super Realm, he could hardly think of any other explanation.
"He actually broke through..." Lin Yun's face was grim.
It seems that the Bloodthirsty Sword really can help its master break through to the Super Realm.
However, he still wanted to get the Bloodthirsty Sword back from Nan Weng. Now that Nan Weng had broken through to the Super Realm, he had the strength to easily kill ordinary super strong people. When would he be able to get the Bloodthirsty Sword back from Nan Weng?
