I'm Beating You, Hua Gu

"Hehe..."

Blood and foam continued to spill from Hua Zong's mouth, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

Looking at the golden hand that pierced his chest, and at the inner armor with a large hole in it, he couldn't understand how High-grade Spirit Treasure, which even Creation Stage expert couldn't break in a short time, could be so easily defeated.

"Give me everything you have."

A gentle murmur quietly echoed in his ear.

"Waaaaah~"

The next moment, the Mental Energy within Hua Zong's Niwan Palace flowed outwards like an unstoppable river, entering the Spirit Talisman Vortex.

"Thump!"

Darkness quickly engulfed Hua Zong's entire field of vision, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"As expected, even absorbing all the Mental Energy of a Low-level Spirit Talisman Master cannot advance my Mental Energy cultivation. It seems I need to find an Intermediate Spirit Talisman Master or Advanced Spirit Talisman Master to work on."

The swirling talisman, having absorbed its full Spirit Talisman Vortex, swiftly returned to Lin Dong's Niwan Palace, transforming once again into a Life Spirit Talisman that floated quietly. Lin Dong then opened his eyes.

"Da da da~"

Little Flame, whose body was faintly shrouded in a bloody aura, strolled leisurely from outside the courtyard.

"Hmm, have you taken care of all the small fry on the periphery?"

Lin Dong reached out and touched the Tiger Beast that was rubbing against his waist.

"Roar!"

Little Flame let out a smug growl, as if he were asking for credit.

"Well done."

Lin Dong casually slipped a pill to Little Flame, then reached out and grabbed Hua Zong's Cosmic Bag and inner armor, which automatically detached and flew into his hand.

"Elite-grade Mental Secret Technique: Mental Demonic Hammer, Great Mental Saw Blade; Qi-level Mental Secret Technique: Yin Puppet Great Method: Essence Devouring Skeleton, Yin Demon Roar; 300,000 Pure Yuan Pill; an Intermediate Spirit Treasure Sawtooth Edgeless Dagger; a Low-grade Talisman Puppet... Wow, this guy is quite rich."

Lin Dong withdrew his Mental Energy from his Cosmic Bag, glanced at the High-grade Spirit Treasure that he had already blasted a large hole in with his Great Sun Thunder Body, and smiled:

"As for the Mysterious Yellow Earth Armor, it should still be usable after being reforged with Mental Fire. Heh, I told you it's only temporarily stored with you, so I will definitely retrieve it."

"Boy, a powerful figure from the Great Demon Sect has arrived."

The Little Marten appeared just in time to remind Lin Dong.

"The people from the Great Demon Sect have finally arrived, and they're not slow either."

Lin Dong slowly raised his head and looked at the four or five figures that were rapidly Breaking Through the Void from a distance. The leader was Mu Qianqian, whom he had met once before.

"Young Master Lin Dong, where is this...?"

The Black Skirt Beauty, now in shock, glanced around at the ruins of the once exquisite courtyard and the corpses scattered on the ground.

This high-class inn is a property under the Great Demon Sect. Upon hearing that Hua Zong, Protector of the Yin Puppet Sect, had come to cause trouble, she was slightly angry and immediately brought the sect's experts here to clean up the mess.

But who would have thought that the battle would be over in just a few minutes, so swiftly and decisively.

"Are you looking for Hua Zong? Oh, he's here."

As if remembering something, Lin Dong immediately turned to the side, giving up his view of what was behind him.

Mu Qianqian subconsciously looked over and saw Hua Zong lying on the ground with a huge bloody hole in his chest, his eyes wide open in death. The scene was bloody and bizarre.

"Hua Zong is dead?"

Suddenly, the Black Skirt Beauty parted her delicate red lips into an "O" shape.

"Yes, there are also two experts at the Creation Form Stage Great Achievement, plus a dozen or so miscellaneous people at the Yuan Dan Realm."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and put away all the spoils of war.

"Lin Dong, listen to me. Before the Yin Puppet Sect can react, hurry up and leave the city. Hua Zong's father, Hua Gu, is the Yin Puppet Sect's elder stationed in Great Puppet City, a Qi Creation Stage Great Achievement expert. If he finds out about this, you will definitely not be able to escape."

Mu Qianqian's fair cheeks gradually regained their composure. After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke, seemingly reluctant to do so.

"Hmm? So his father, Hua Gu, is also in Great Puppet City?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Hua Gu and his son are cut from the same cloth. Hua Gu spoils his precious son terribly, so you'd better run away quickly. Qianqian is doing this for your own good."

Unaware of this, Mu Qianqian continued to persuade her.

"Since Hua Zong is only Low-level Spirit Talisman Master, doesn't that mean Hua Gu is at least an Intermediate Spirit Talisman Master?"

Lin Dong's eyes grew brighter and brighter; he was planning to pull off a big heist.

"Lin Dong, Lin Dong, are you listening to me?"

Mu Qianqian paused abruptly, looking at Lin Dong with a hint of uncertainty.

"To cut the weeds, one must nip them in the Hua Gu. I've removed this old thorn in my side, so he won't bother me anymore. Also, Miss Qianqian, thank you for your message."

Lin Dong's figure flickered and he disappeared from the spot.

A brief silence followed.

Gazing at the receding figure in mid-air, Mu Qianqian murmured in a daze, "Elder Liu, what did Lin Dong just say?"

"Reporting to Miss Qianqian, Lin Dong said he is going to kill Hua Gu."

Beside Mu Qianqian, a middle-aged powerhouse answered honestly.

"Did I just say something wrong? Maybe I shouldn't have told him about Hua Gu..."

For a moment, this favored daughter of the Great Demon Sect fell into deep thought.

Great Puppet City, a branch of the Yin Puppet Sect.

"The Golden Platform Suppressing Demon Palm!"

A soft murmur suddenly resounded above the Yin Puppet Sect branch. The next moment, a square Golden Platform, several tens of feet in size, shone with a dazzling and unbearable golden light and crashed down with a thunderous roar.

"Boom!"

In the center of the Yin Puppet Sect's headquarters, a large number of towering buildings collapsed instantly.

"How dare you! Who would dare to invade the territory of my Yin Puppet Sect?"

"Who is it? Show yourself! Show yourself!!!"

Amidst a series of furious howls, large numbers of figures rapidly emerged from the buildings below, intending to tear apart any invading enemies.

"Fool, look up, the enemy is up there."

In the crowd, an elderly man in gray robes, surrounded by others, roared angrily, causing everyone to instinctively look up.

High in the sky, a ferocious Flying Demonic Beast was flapping its long Thunder Wings, with faint sounds of wind and thunder whistling through the air. On top of it stood a refined and elegant figure in black, with his hands behind his back.

"Which of you is Hua Gu?"

The figure standing with his hands behind his back seemed to have been there for quite some time, glancing indifferently at the large group of the Yin Puppet Sect members below.

"I am Hua Gu, and who exactly are you...?"

The powerful gray-robed elder immediately stepped forward, and with a light tap of his toes, he flew up from the top of the building. Unable to ascertain Lin Dong's background, he spoke with restraint yet a hint of anger.

"Mountain Suppressing Golden Fist!"

Lin Dong didn't even look, and threw a punch. Endless golden light gathered on his right fist, directly transforming into a giant golden fist about ten feet in size, which roared down.

"Boom!"

In his haste, Hua Zong only had time to erect a thick mental barrier in front of him with his Mental Energy, but he was pierced through by the golden giant fist and then slammed heavily into the ground.

"I'm going to hit Hua Gu."

The figure in black withdrew his fist, and his clear voice resounded powerfully above the Yin Puppet Sect's headquarters.
