In the East Tang Continent, a Grand Master is powerful enough to build an empire with his unparalleled strength. Although a Half-Step Grand Master is slightly weaker, he can still establish a school and dominate a region. There are only five grand masters, which is rare. There are not many half-step masters either. Looking at the entire continent, there are only a dozen or so. The one who came today is the fourth elder of Lianyun City. Lianyun City has recruited six masters of equal strength. This shows what a terrifying existence Lianyun City is in the East Tang Continent.
There is a folk saying that goes like this: Lianyun City in the sky and Forbidden City on the ground. Compared with Lianyun City, the powerful royal family seemed less noble. No wonder the royal children were fighting each other to the death in secret for the qualification to practice in Lianyun City.
Hearing that Lianyun City had sent a half-step master to destroy him, He Chongling was not panicked at all. He waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Come on, follow me out to take a look!"
When they arrived outside the temple, they saw that the foot of the mountain was already densely packed with people who were about to attack.
"Master, there are too many people here, and there are many top masters helping us. What should we do?" Although the right protector tried to remain calm, his voice was still trembling. Under the current circumstances, we cannot win the fight, so we might as well run away early. Fortunately, there are many secret passages underground, and most of the believers can escape through them.
"What should we do? Come on, set up the formation, and follow me out to fight!" He Chongling shouted with gritted teeth.
The believers drew their swords and had a determined look in their eyes. At this moment, a deep voice resounded in the air, "Eastern Saint Church believers, listen up! If you hand over He Chongling's head with both hands, I will spare your lives. If you don't obey, I will kill you without mercy!"
The voice came from the foot of a distant mountain, but it seemed to echo in the ears, and it brought with it a powerful internal force, causing people to feel pain in their eardrums, and their blood churning, which was extremely uncomfortable. Some of the followers with low martial arts skills even bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot. Even top masters like He Chongling and the Right Protector couldn't help but reveal a look of pain.
He Yufei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but did not bother to use her internal energy to resist. Instead, she quickly ran to Bai Yan and covered his ears with both hands. Bai Yan's eyes, which were always calm, actually showed a hint of smile. He lightly touched He Yufei's body with his fingertips, and He Yufei's turbulent blood calmed down instantly. She let out a light exclamation, seeming surprised, but did not think too much about it. She just thought that it was because the Half-Step Grandmaster had withdrawn his internal energy that she felt less uncomfortable.
Everyone was busy taking care of themselves, so no one noticed that when everyone was struggling to hold on, only Lin Dan was standing in the corner holding a big knife and watching coldly, with no sign of pain on his face. The pressure from the half-step grandmaster was fatal to others, but to her it was just an ordinary voice that was worth listening to.
She has to fight against the internal energy in her body every moment and endure pain that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Naturally, the suppression from the outside world is insignificant.
The followers of the Eastern Saint Sect could not imagine how terrifying the power of a Half-Step Grandmaster was before, but after today they finally witnessed it. He hasn't even started to take action yet, but with just a few words he can kill so many warriors in an instant. What will happen when he really starts to take action? It is no exaggeration to say that today, he alone is enough to crush the Eastern Holy Church.
The believers were frightened and cowardly, and they all turned to look at He Chongling. Some of them even had their eyes rolling around and their gazes flickering, indicating that they had evil thoughts. Someone shouted "Escape", and the killing formation that had just been set up was dispersed. The believers fled in all directions in chaos.
The half-step master leaped onto the top of the mountain gate and slapped his palm from a distance. There was a loud bang and the fleeing believers instantly turned into a puff of blood mist. A palm print several dozen feet wide appeared on the ground, and even the extremely hard granite was shaken into pieces and sank deeply into the ground.
With just one sentence, he killed hundreds of people, and with one palm strike, he took dozens of lives instantly, and even destroyed half of the palace. The strength of this half-step master made everyone terrified. The believers who had intended to flee in all directions stood stiffly where they were, with cold sweat slowly soaking through their clothes.
"Kill the leader and we won't have to die!" He Yufei, who was hiding behind the crowd, pinched her throat and shouted, which immediately aroused the followers' desire to survive. They looked at He Chongling, their scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, if we kill the leader and cut off his head, our Dongsheng Sect can be saved!" The believers, who were already very dissatisfied with He Chongling's autocracy, shouted and rushed forward. Without the need for outsiders to take action, they started killing each other first.
He Yufei pulled Bai Yan to hide behind a pillar, covering her mouth and laughing for a while. Bai Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her with a gentle expression.
He Chongling was just a top-notch master, while the right protector and others who besieged him were all first-rate masters, and their strength was almost the same as his. He could handle five people at once, but when there were more, he couldn't hold on and his body was soon covered in blood. But there was no panic in his eyes. Instead, he showed a crazy look. He threw away the sharp sword with a rolled edge and laughed, "Okay, okay, I have raised you for a long time, and it's time to reap the harvest!" He grabbed the right protector in the air with his five fingers and sucked him dry.
The charred body of the right protector fell to the ground and shattered into a pool of powder, which disappeared when blown by the wind. His death was extremely strange. Everyone looked at the ground, then at He Chongling who was laughing wildly, and they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts. But what had been done was done, and it was too late to stop now. They rushed forward and continued the siege. He Chongling, who had seemed somewhat inferior in comparison, was assisted by God this time. He slapped everyone away with one palm and then grabbed the neck of an elder. After the elder struggled twice, his skin and flesh quickly shrank and he also turned into a mummy.
He Chongling threw away the charred corpse and attacked the next person. Wherever he passed, the ground was covered with powder. No one could match him. His strange palm technique frightened everyone, causing them to retreat and not dare to move forward. Every time He Chongling drained someone's energy, his aura would surge, and his rapidly rising internal energy would even puff up his clothes.
Now it was no longer the crowd that was besieging him, but he was eager to hunt down everyone, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He Yufei asked in shock: "Master, what is going on?"
Bai Yan said slowly: "He should be practicing the Naturalization Method, which, as the name suggests, is to naturalize the inner strength of others for his own use. If he keeps killing, he will soon be able to advance from a top-notch expert to a half-step master."
He Yufei's eyes turned red with anxiety. She grabbed Bai Yan's sleeve and said, "Master, let's run! He Chongling has practiced such evil skills. I'm afraid even the half-step master can't defeat him!"
"Why are you running?" Bai Yan bent down and picked up a sword, chuckling, "Go up and fight him before he breaks through. Kung Fu will become rusty if you don't practice it for a day. Now is a golden opportunity."
He Yufei was so scared that her face turned pale, but she didn't dare to disobey Bai Yan, so she had to hold the sword tightly and said, "Master, stay away to avoid hurting yourself. If I lose, you can run out through the secret passage I told you last time."
Although Bai Yan did not know martial arts, he was very familiar with various top-level skills. Under his guidance, He Yufei's skills improved by leaps and bounds. From then on, she followed Bai Yan and was unwilling to leave, calling him Master with a smug look on her face. Seeing that she was innocent, cute and had excellent qualifications, Bai Yan followed her, and thus they became master and disciple.
Although he knew that his martial arts skills were not weak, He Yufei had almost no practical experience, so he inevitably felt panicked when he rushed out. But she soon discovered that compared with the other members of the sect who were completely unable to fight back, she was able to perform sword moves with ease under He Chongling and almost stabbed He Chongling in the vitals.
"Yufei, even you betrayed me!" He Chongling was already blood-thirsty. He used his fingers to break He Yufei's sword, slapped her away with a palm, and then wantonly absorbed the skills of the people around him. After all, he couldn't bear to hurt the person he loved most.
He Yufei picked up another sword and resolutely chased after him, fighting with He Chongling sword by sword. Her moves were awkward at first, but gradually they became more skillful. She swung the sword into a misty shadow, and the sharp sword energy left traces on the ground. The sharp sword light was dazzling.
"The Saint's martial arts are so superb!" The believers who were forced back by her sharp sword energy could not help but exclaimed. You know, before becoming a saint, He Yufei was just a maid. Although she knew martial arts, she was not even a low-level martial artist. But now, she can fight on equal terms with the leader, which shows that she has reached the level of a top-notch master.
Bai Yan stood with his hands behind his back, a look of relief in his eyes. He Chongling was not in the same good mood as him. He had been holding back on He Yufei and was reluctant to hurt her, but he lost his patience under her constant pressure and said with hatred: "Yufei, I really love you, but you don't care about my feelings at all."
"There is only hatred between us, no affection!" He Yufei pierced He Chongling's right palm with a sword.
“Good, good, good, you are so heartless!” He Chongling pulled out his bloody palm and quickly retreated. In an instant, he absorbed the power of several followers. He seemed to have caught something from the corner of his eye and suddenly called out, “Lin Dan, come here!”
In the past, Lin Dan would always guard him silently, and would not let him get hurt even if she lost her life, so he could not remember the dog at all, let alone realize her existence. But right now, he has He Yufei to deal with, and there are even stronger enemies waiting ahead. Lin Dan is a first-rate master second only to him. If he can drain the opponent's power, he may be promoted to a half-step master immediately.
Lin Dan, who had almost no presence at all, finally took a step forward.
While controlling the sword energy, He Yufei shouted loudly: "Lin Dan, don't listen to him, he wants your life!"
Lin Dan ignored him and continued walking towards He Chongling with steady steps.
Bai Yan sighed softly, and finally raised his hands behind his back, his fingertips pointed at the air...
