Thunder Blade Falls
"Bang!!!"
Amidst five earth-shattering roars, five powerful Nirvana Stage Demon Ape shattered a streak of Origin Energy with a single punch, the aftershocks of energy scattering in all directions like fireworks.
"Huh? What's that?!"
Gazing at the several enormous beast bodies that were faintly visible in the thick smoke, and the soaring, violent aura, Su Lei and the others' expressions all changed, and they subconsciously took a step back.
"However, I quite like it."
Lin Dong smiled slightly and raised his arm, "Go! Take down those four!"
"Yes, Master!"
The five enormous Demon Ape, each the size of a small mountain, excitedly thumped their chests and, like the most ferocious war beasts, thundered forward, pouncing towards the four core members of the Demonic Seal Collective.
Although the five Demon Apes were only at the Six Yuan Nirvana Stage, they managed to hold off four Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage experts for a time by using their telepathic connection and combo attacks.
"Look, now we're one-on-one, isn't that great?"
Looking at this scene, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Dong's laughter made Su Lei's expression even more gloomy.
Both being experts at the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, his strength was roughly equal to that of Butcher Luo Yi. However, Luo Yi had already been killed by Lin Dong with a single strike, so what about him...?
Thinking of this, Su Lei immediately crushed a piece of jade that was emitting faint fluorescent light with the large hand hidden under his black robe.
"Shattering Yuan Palm!!!"
Su Lei vanished from his spot in a flash. His violent Origin Energy gathered and compressed near his palm, and golden light surged forth. Without thinking, he raised his palm and slammed it down, with a series of explosive sounds echoing throughout.
"Heh, you think it's better to strike first and wait for the opportune moment? Well, I'll make sure you don't get your way."
Seeing Lin Dong's strange footwork, his figure suddenly became incredibly ethereal, transforming into countless afterimages in mid-air, as graceful as an immortal being. Su Lei couldn't pinpoint his location at all, and was caught between a choice: to attack or not to attack.
"Supreme Pure Sky Roaming Steps! You, a top-ranking Dao Sect Chief Seat, how dare you know the movement techniques of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace?!"
Su Lei gritted his teeth and stared intently at the afterimages filling the sky. He was filled with hatred!
"Tsk, what a problem!"
As the laughter subsided, the light and shadows vanished, and a clear figure suddenly emerged from a void. None of the afterimages were the real person.
"Go ask me in hell!"
A slender figure stepped forward, his hands lightly clasped together, forming a hand seal with lightning speed. As the thick fog dissipated, an ancient, enormous gray star rapidly rose behind him, its surface pockmarked yet exuding a unique sense of unease.
"Great Star Gang Fist!"
Lin Dong, having summoned the gray star, threw a punch. The gray star, now propelled by a tremendous force, shifted from extreme stillness to extreme motion, crashing down with a long gray tail of flame.
"The four Hall Suppressing Martial Arts of the Desolate Hall?!"
The knowledgeable Su Lei was suddenly startled. He hurriedly dispersed the Origin Energy in his palm, clenched his fist, and a Silver Thunder Blade adorned with streaks of Ghostly glow rapidly appeared. He raised his hand and slashed down fiercely.
"Rushing Thunder Blade!"
The violent lightning Origin Energy surged wildly, rapidly compressing behind him into a gigantic celestial blade a hundred feet long. Countless lightning arcs emerged from the blade, and as soon as the Hundred-Zhang Thunder Blade took shape, it swept down with a cacophony of wind and thunder.
"Boom!!!"
The gray star, seemingly the embodiment of the most powerful and yang energy, trailed a long tail of flame, piercing through the countless sword shadows, and crashed violently into the Hundred-Zhang Thunder Blade. Cracks on the surface of the Thunder Blade spread rapidly outwards like a spider web.
"No! Yao Ling, save me!!"
With nowhere to escape, Su Lei's face was filled with terror, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Call out!"
Just then, a spear shadow enveloped in a towering golden light suddenly tore through the void and struck Lin Dong's wide-open back with lightning speed.
"Heh, no one can protect the person I want to kill."
Lin Dong's gaze was deep, and he smiled without any surprise. A blue dragon scale silently fell off his wrist and quickly grew into a huge blue dragon scale shield, which stood horizontally behind him.
On the shield's surface was a constantly moving Azure Dragon pattern, its azure light surging, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar echoing through the air.
"Clang!!!"
The golden spear shadow, enveloped in the violent primal light, slammed into the Azure Scale Dragon Shield with astonishing speed, scattering sparks everywhere, and was instantly thrown back.
At the same time, the ancient, enormous gray star trembled violently, then transformed into a Gray Light of light, imbued with an incomparably dense and powerful yang energy. It accelerated its way through the void, blasting the despairing Su Lei into a cloud of Blood Mist.
Thunder Blade Su Lei, Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage expert, is dead!
"You little beast, how dare you kill my subordinate Yao Ling's subordinate!!"
A deafening roar suddenly came from behind Lin Dong.
"You finally couldn't hold back and came out. I thought you would endure it until the very end and watch your men all die."
Lin Dong turned around unhurriedly, and a figure standing on a spear immediately jumped into his field of vision.
It was a sinister middle-aged man shrouded in a black robe, with a pale face. He stood on a Golden Long Spear that shimmered with light and shadow, exuding an extremely fierce aura. It was clearly an extremely powerful Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure.
"This year's Hundred Dynasties Champion is indeed worthy of his reputation. No wonder he disdained to join my Yuan Sect. It turns out that he has extraordinary talent. He has only been in the Dao Sect for a month, and he has already mastered the four Hall Suppressing Martial Arts of the Desolate Hall."
Looking at the handsome young man with a calm expression, the middle-aged man in black robes couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy. He hadn't expected that he, a powerful expert at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, would be unable to even get close to the other party when he launched a sneak attack.
Some people are born to be admired by all!
"You're Yao Ling? The legendary outcast of the Yuan Sect?"
While Yao Ling was sizing up Lin Dong was naturally sizing him up as well.
"Boy, I have no intention of getting into a conflict with you. Hand over the Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree in your possession, and I will withdraw."
Yao Ling pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Lin Dong's words and took a deep breath.
Ultimately, he still wasn't confident he could defeat Lin Dong.
Although he could easily defeat his subordinate Su Lei, it was impossible for him to kill him as easily as Lin Dong. Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage experts are not made of clay. If they can't beat you, do you think they won't run away?
Lin Dong, the Desolate Hall Chief, definitely possesses terrifying combat power comparable to Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage expert! He is the legendary kind of terrifying existence who treats challenges beyond his level as easily as drinking water!
"I'll hand over the Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree to you, and then you can hand it over to the Yuan Sect. This will further strengthen your Yuan Sect's power, allowing you to continue to bully my Dao Sect?"
Lin Dong stood with his arms crossed, a slight smile on his face.
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
Upon hearing the predictable answer, Yao Ling's expression grew even colder.
No matter the cost, he must obtain that nascent Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree and offer it to the sect so he can return safely.
No matter how carefree one may be in the Chaos Land Blood Rock Land, it's not as pleasant as being an ordinary steward in the Yuan Sect, the head of the Eight Great Super Sects in the Eastern Xuan Region.
