Fearless Kill

That immensely powerful pressure had come quickly and gone just as quickly, vanishing without a trace. Everyone present secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Lord Lin Dong, I, Yue Shan, am willing to apologize to the Lin Family over this matter. The Blood Wolf Gang can offer two hundred thousand—no, five hundred thousand Yang Yuan Stones to put this matter behind us."

Yue Shan forced an extremely stiff smile as he tried to remain calm.

"Fine. As long as you can take one move from me, I will reluctantly accept your terms." Lin Dong wore an amused expression as he quietly waited for Yue Shan's reply.

Yue Shan's expression stiffened, his gaze flickering rapidly.

Should he take this move or not? If he refused, today's matter definitely would not be settled. Then he might as well take it.

After all, he had been immersed in the Great Perfection Yuan Dan Stage for over a decade and had already faintly touched upon the Creation Stage. No matter how strong Lin Dong was, he had only just entered the Spirit Talisman Master realm. There was no way Yue Shan could not even withstand a single move from him.

"Fine, I, Yue Shan, will take it. However, I hope Lord Lin Dong will keep his word."

Yue Shan suddenly gritted his teeth and clasped his fists with a booming voice.

"Hehe, I have always kept my word. The Ghost Yan Sect Master, who unfortunately met his end just now, can testify to that for me."

Lin Dong smiled faintly, making Yue Shan's eyes twitch.

"Gang Leader Yue Shan, please."

As his light laugh fell, a miniature spirit talisman swiftly flew out from Lin Dong's left eye. It rapidly expanded with the wind, transforming in midair into a profound light array over thirty meters wide, covered in strange runes.

The instant the profound light array appeared, an exceedingly obscure ripple spread across the scene!

Qi-level Mental Secret Technique, Creation Talisman Array!

"Oh, that should be the Qi-level Mental Secret Technique stored on the Eighth Floor of Talisman Master Tower, right? He really did obtain it."

Master Yan, who had keenly sensed that mental fluctuation, shifted slightly.

Having summoned the Creation Talisman Array, Lin Dong did not pause. He lightly pointed into the air and softly chanted, "Creation Talisman Array, Creation Light!"

Boom!

The moment his words fell, terrifying mental fluctuations erupted from the light array like a volcano. Countless strange rays surged from the profound light array, rapidly intertwining in midair to form an incomparably dazzling and dangerous beam of light.

Whoosh!

The strange beam had barely taken shape before it shot through the air with a terrifying fluctuation that made one's scalp tingle.

Its target: Yue Shan!

"Ahhh! Mountain Yue Fist, break for me!!"

Yue Shan's expression changed drastically as warning bells blared in his heart. The incomparably robust Pure Yuan Qi within his Yuan Dan was madly extracted and gathered at his right fist, which he then fiercely blasted forward.

Sixth Grade Martial Art, Mountain Yue Fist!

Buzz buzz!

A resplendent cluster of Origin Energy shot out like lightning, vaguely condensing into the shape of a mountain and emanating a heavy, unadorned aura.

Creation Intent, a special artistic conception that only Creation Stage experts could fully grasp.

The fact that Yue Shan could condense the corresponding Creation Intent through a martial art meant that he had already touched the threshold of the Creation Stage. Given enough time, he could have fully stepped into that realm.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance!

Boom!

Before the incomparably horrified eyes of the many experts, the dangerous beam that tore through the air violently collided with the mountain-shaped intent.

Bang!

Less than a second after making contact, the strange beam pierced through the mountain-shaped intent like a hot knife through butter, then accelerated toward Yue Shan behind it.

Yue Shan's face filled with horror as he frantically shouted, "I admit—"

Bang!

A large head exploded into thick Blood Mist, and the shrill scream abruptly stopped. The terrifying beam only dispersed after gouging a deep trench into the ground behind him.

Great Perfection Yuan Dan Stage expert Yue Shan, dead!

"What a pity. You failed to take my move."

Lin Dong smiled leisurely. The profound light array in midair once again transformed into a miniature spirit talisman and swiftly returned to his left eye.

The City Central Square instantly fell into deathly silence.

The Blood Wolf Gang's leader, one of Yan City's three greatest experts, a Great Perfection Yuan Dan Stage powerhouse, a peak existence who had dominated Yan City for decades—Mountain Breaking Hand Yue Shan—had died just like that?

"One move to kill a Great Perfection Yuan Dan Stage expert... This is the power of a Spirit Talisman Master. This is what a Spirit Talisman Master's power truly is..."

Master Yan stared at Lin Dong's back with a fervent expression.

"The Blood Wolf Gang is finished. The Lin Family will rise by stepping on the Blood Wolf Gang's corpse. That little girl Ziyue was right to befriend Lin Dong. Good, good."

Atop a tall building, the handsome middle-aged man from before patted the Green Stone railing, then directly departed with several others.

Judging by the robust aura that flashed from him as he left, this man was actually a powerful Creation Stage expert.

Lin Dong extended his hand, and a Cosmic Bag at Yue Shan's waist lightly flew into his grasp. His Mental Energy spread into it. "Sixth Grade Martial Art Mountain Yue Fist? It is quite a decent martial art, but using it in your hands was a complete waste."

"President Xia?"

After putting away Yue Shan's Cosmic Bag, Lin Dong suddenly spoke.

"Hehe, yes, I'm here."

Xia Wanjin, dressed in a brocade robe, was smiling especially slyly at that moment.

Lin Dong glanced at the stunned members of the Blood Wolf Gang and Ghost Blade Sect opposite him, then said with a smile, "The Blood Wolf Gang's territory and businesses will be taken over by our Lin Family. As for the Ghost Blade Sect, we'll leave that to your Myriad Gold Merchant Association. What do you think?"

The Lin Family's foundations were still somewhat weak. Even with him holding the line, swallowing one of Yan City's three major powers—the Blood Wolf Gang—would be enough to overfill them, and they would need a long time to digest it.

If they tried to swallow the Ghost Blade Sect as well, they simply would not be able to digest it. That would only be counterproductive.

So, it was better to leave the smaller piece of fat that was the Ghost Blade Sect to the Myriad Gold Merchant Association, drawing his ally closer and consolidating the Lin Family's current gains.

"Ah, yes, yes. Thank you, little brother Lin Dong."

Xia Wanjin was slightly taken aback before immediately rejoicing.

He had thought he would gain nothing from this trip, yet he had unexpectedly received such a great gift. Though the Ghost Blade Sect was not as powerful as the Blood Wolf Gang, it was still one of the strongest forces beneath Yan City's three major powers. This was a very substantial piece of fat.

Little brother Lin Dong was truly righteous!

"No need for thanks. Our two families should visit each other more often in the future."

Lin Dong nodded lightly, feeling exceedingly pleased as well.

Having revealed part of his strength, he had finally forcefully elevated the Lin Family from a newly risen second-rate family in Yan City to one of Yan City's three top powers. The foundation of the family's standing had been established!

Several days later.

Although the conflict that had taken place at City Central Square that day had already ended, the terrifying ripples it caused would continue spreading throughout Yan City for several months.

The Ghost Blade Sect and Blood Wolf Gang had joined forces to confront the Lin Family. Lin Dong, the Lin Family's son, had suddenly unleashed the strength of a Spirit Talisman Master and slain the leaders of both factions. Afterward, he had joined hands with the Myriad Gold Merchant Association to forcefully take over their territories.

Yan City's three top powers had changed. The Blood Wolf Gang had been destroyed, while the newly risen Lin Family, which had come from a remote small town, stepped over its corpse and successfully took its place.

Its position was as steady as a mountain!

P.S. Hmm, it's reached a hundred thousand words. So be it. There's nothing to be done without recommendations. I'll settle down and keep writing slowly, finish it properly, and write it all the way to the end.
