Sweeping All Before Him
Wang Qingshan looked surprised, but before he could say anything, the situation on the field changed.
Clang!--
The clear, Blade Cry echoed through the sky, the sound waves rolling like Thunder exploding in one's ears.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, a Silver Moon Disk interwoven with cyan and blue lightning suddenly appeared before Lin He, its terrifying speed deeply shocking everyone present.
Tear!
With a crisp sound, the howling, Bone-Eroding Netherwind was torn apart by the Starlight. Amidst the crackling and surging lightning, the wind was shattered into pieces, and blue smoke rose everywhere.
Bite!
Immediately afterwards, Starlight, with its remaining momentum, slashed fiercely at Lin He, whose face showed shock.
In his haste, the latter used Law Technique to create a protective shield of Spiritual Qi while simultaneously taking out a pale yellow pagoda and placing it on his head.
However, to no avail. With the support of the Magnetism Power, the Starlight possesses properties such as Spell-Breaking, Gang-Breaking, and extreme speed.
As the saying goes, no Law Technique can be broken except speed. Once the speed reaches a certain level, even an iron wall is nothing more than a thin sheet of paper.
Tear!
The sound of tearing silk rang out again; the Spiritual Qi shield was completely ineffective and was directly shattered by the Starlight.
Then there's that Second-Tier Upper-Grade Earth-Attribute Pagoda.
Laugh!
The violently spinning Starlight, enhanced by the mastery of the Major-Completion Blade Intent, possessed formidable attack power, directly cleaving the Second-Tier Upper-Grade pagoda in two.
Then, with a clear, Blade Cry sound, it slashed straight at Lin He.
I surrender!
The latter hurriedly shouted, but Starlight's momentum did not diminish; it merely adjusted its direction slightly.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, a severed arm flew off, and in Lin He's pale, angry eyes, the handleless throwing knife, no more than three feet long, lay across his neck.
The terrifying sharpness of the blade seemed poised to take his life at any moment.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
Cold sweat dripped down Lin He's cheeks, whether from pain or fear, he didn't know.
On the other side, Yang Tianyou used One-Qi Capturing Hand to grab two Gu Insect in his palm. His platinum-gold giant hand was also wrapped with dense white spider silk.
"Hiss--"
"Roar--"
The Thousand-Foot Fire-Pincer Centipede and the Mountain-Binding Spider struggled incessantly, but even the latter, a Gu Insect with immense strength, could not shake the giant hand that was tightly gripping their bodies.
That majestic and boundless aura caused the two Gu Insect to gradually slow down their struggles, until they could only give up in despair.
"Major-Completion Blade Intent!"
Not far away, Spirit Sword Master uttered a few words slowly and deliberately, his face filled with utter astonishment.
Could this guy be Blade Dao Spirit Body? He actually comprehended the Major-Completion Blade Intent at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.
It should be noted that his Minor Achievement Sword Intent, though considered to be at its peak, was actually only about 70% materialized.
The remaining 30% will take at least ten years to comprehend, even considering his Innate Sword Heart.
But this person before him... In the end, Spirit Sword Master could only attribute it to extraordinary talent!
Yang Tianyou ignored the astonished onlookers. In his view, this battle, which could be described as utterly devastating, was nothing more than what he had expected.
If he can't even defeat a mere Lin He quickly, how can he compete with the prodigies of the Lu Wu Realm?
"What do you want?" Lin He asked, trying to remain calm.
"Hand over control of these two Gu Insect, and also hand over the Gu Insect you used to track the Wang Household!" Yang Tianyou didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.
He was quite interested in the Gu worms on the [List of Strange Insects], as they were valuable items with many functions, and the Yang Family Farm Palace happened to be lacking a large number of Gu worms.
"Impossible..."
Lin He instinctively wanted to refuse, but as soon as he uttered the words, streams of blood began to flow down his neck.
The excruciating pain finally brought him to his senses; his life was still in their hands.
"Alright, I can give you the Gu Insect, but you must Heart Demon Oath and not harm me!" Lin He admitted defeat because he was no match for Lin He, but he made one condition.
"Okay!" Yang Tianyou nodded without hesitation.
He then made Heart Demon Oath, stating that as long as Lin He handed over the two Gu Insect, Yang Tianyou would let him go this time.
After making the vow, Lin He's aura began to fluctuate violently.
A moment later, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
His already pale face visibly lost all color, and even his once black hair turned gray, indicating a severe depletion of his Essence.
Yang Tianyou ignored all of that and instead lowered his head to examine the two listless Gu Insect.
A few breaths later, he nodded with great satisfaction. On this point, Lin He didn't dare to play any tricks.
"And the last one?"
"There!" Lin He said weakly, his index finger trembling as he pointed to a Foundation Establishment from the Wang Household.
The person he pointed at changed his expression, and then saw a translucent insect fly off the hem of his clothes.
"Formless Insect!" Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up.
Thanks to the various strange Gu Insects recorded in the "Great Wilderness Gu Scripture", he recognized the translucent insect at a glance.
The Formless Insect, ranked 271st on the [Exotic Insect Ranking], can Concealment itself using any environment around it, and can also shield itself from Detection by Divine Sense, Spirit Eyes, and perception. Although it has little combat power, it is definitely a powerful tool for tracking and killing, and is also very suitable for spying.
With his five fingers spread, Yang Tianyou caught the Formless Insect in his palm, affixed a sealing Talisman, and then stored it in his Spirit Beast Bag.
Seeing this, Lin He across from him had a look of heartache on his face. The first two types of Gu Insect were alright, but the Formless Insect was really rare. His Formless Insect was passed down from his grandfather, but he never expected that the lineage would be broken with him.
"Now that I've given you the Gu Insect, can you let me go?"
"Yes!" Yang Tianyou nodded and waved his right hand.
Whoosh!
The Starlight transformed into Silver Moon Disk and flew back, bringing with it Lin He's fallen arm.
Seeing this, the latter dared not speak out in anger, and could only slink away with the Lin Household.
"You are very strong, I am not as good as you. The Elder Token should be held by a strong person like you!" Spirit Sword Master nodded to Yang Tianyou, left these words, and then turned and left with the Yi Sword Sect disciples who looked at him with awe.
As the Starlight returned, Black and White spread its wings and flew over. With a flap of its wings, the arm, dripping with blood, vanished.
Upon seeing this, the several Foundation Establishment from the Yang Household exchanged glances but said nothing.
The Wang Household didn't understand Black and White's abilities, so they assumed it was the latter, helping their master clean up the battlefield.
"Haha, Brother Yang's strength has truly broadened my horizons. Even within the Luochuan Sect, a talent like you is extremely rare; one like you might only appear once every few years!"
Wang Qingshan repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting, a broad smile spreading across his honest, pale yellow face.
"I've only made some progress in the Blade Dao, nothing to mention!" Yang Tianyou said with a wave of his hand, while giving mental commands to the two Gu Insect, instructing them to shrink their bodies.
These two creatures naturally dared not disobey, and quickly shrank to the size of a palm, becoming quite miniature. After Yang Tianyou affixed a sealing Talisman to each of them, they were put into the Spirit Beast Bag.
At this moment, Ruoqing flew back with the stakes: two Elder Tokens and a Profound Nether Stone.
Yang Tianyou handed the Profound Nether Stone to Wang Qingshan, and then put away the two Elder Tokens himself.
"How can I accept this? This battle was entirely thanks to Brother Yang's efforts. How can I have the face to take your spoils?" Wang Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly.
"Brother Wang, what are you saying? This battle was a collaboration between our two families, and you were the first to fight, winning a crucial victory for us. It's only right that you take this Profound Nether Stone!" Yang Tianyou said, his face tense and clearly displeased.
"Well... then I'll accept it without hesitation!" Wang Qingshan had no choice but to accept the Profound Nether Stone, and his goodwill towards Yang Tianyou soared.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Yang, this underground mine is called the Jade-Profound Stone Mine. You saved my Wang Household from dire straits, and I have nothing to repay you with. How about we split the profits 20/80, with you taking 80%?"
"Don't refuse. The Profound Nether Stone was obtained through gambling, and this mine is my way of thanking you for your help!" Wang Qingshan quickly said when he saw that Yang Tianyou wanted to refuse.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou could only smile and nod, accepting Wang Qingshan's kindness.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Brother Wang, this Secret Realm is getting more and more chaotic. I think our two families are quite compatible, so how about we cooperate?"
"Brother Yang's words are exactly what I was thinking..." Wang Qingshan was overjoyed. He had had this idea for a long time, but Yang Tianyou beat him to it.
"Haha, Brother Wang, let's then make Heart Demon Oath!"
"That's excellent!"
Then, the two groups of monks each made an oath, and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
