Killing the Body, Crushing the Heart

Lin Yu frowned and looked at the man, tangible killing intent slowly spilling from his body.

The man immediately found it difficult to breathe. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. He did not even have the courage to raise his head and look at Lin Yu.

The crowd was dissatisfied with Lin Yu's actions. He attacked at the slightest disagreement—no, not with his hands, but with his eyes.

Yet not a single person spoke up. They were all frightened by Lin Yu's methods; with just one look, he had rendered that man unable to resist. It was clear that he was no ordinary person.

Xue Ni poked Xiao Yu, who was standing beside her. With her mouth hanging open, she stared at Lin Yu in disbelief. "Xiao... Xiao Yu, just what cultivation level is your cousin?"

"I already told you, he's a Dou Zun, but you wouldn't believe me!" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes.

"Sir, please do not make a mistake!" Instructor Ruo Lin's voice rang out. She frowned and watched Lin Yu warily.

"Make a mistake?" Lin Yu smiled. "Instructor Ruo Lin, do you think I was wrong?" A sinister smile appeared on his face.

Pfft!

"Ah!"

A scream rang out. Everyone turned toward the sound, only to see that the man's legs were gone, leaving nothing but blood all over the ground. Blood splattered across the people nearby.

"B-Brother Luobu, save... save me... urgh..." The man was in so much pain that he could barely speak. After saying that, he passed out from the pain.

"Ge La!" Luobu shouted. He rushed over and held the man, hurriedly trying to treat him, but no matter what he did, he could not stop his life force from slipping away.

"Ge La?" Lin Yu thought for a moment. Why did that name sound so familiar?

"Oh~ I remember now. In the original story, he seemed to have fought Xiao Yan!" In the original story, Luobu had provoked Xiao Yan, and then Ge La stepped forward to fight Xiao Yan.

Before long, Ge La stopped breathing. "Instructor Ruo Lin, you have to seek justice for Ge La!" Luobu was not foolish enough to avenge Ge La himself. After seeing Lin Yu's methods, wouldn't going up against him just be courting death?

"What does God Extermination Hall mean by this? Do you not hold Jia Nan Academy in any regard?" She knew full well what situation they were in. On someone else's territory, they could be killed at any time. She could only invoke Jia Nan Academy's name, hoping the other party would have some reservations...

Lin Yu glanced at Instructor Ruo Lin and ignored her. Then he calmly said to the man beside him, "Hang that person at the city gate. Let everyone see that the laws of God Extermination Hall are not empty words!"

"You!" Instructor Ruo Lin was furious. Did this man truly not take Jia Nan Academy seriously? "Do you know what you are doing?" she demanded sharply.

"Heh heh..." Lin Yu looked at Instructor Ruo Lin as though she were an idiot.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Lin Yu laugh, Instructor Ruo Lin could not help feeling a little uneasy. I should have known better than to act so tough!

"Heh heh... What am I doing? I only killed someone." Lin Yu's smile vanished as he said darkly, "Didn't you say this sort of thing was normal? Then what is wrong with me killing him?" Lin Yu asked the crowd.

"He was from Jia Nan Academy!" Instructor Ruo Lin replied through gritted teeth, placing heavy emphasis on the words "Jia Nan Academy."

"Heh heh... Hahahaha, how laughable!" Lin Yu laughed without restraint.

"So what if he was from Jia Nan Academy? Does that mean Jia Nan Academy's people can kill others without restraint? Does it mean they can forcibly abduct women? Is this the kind of people Jia Nan Academy teaches?" Lin Yu demanded loudly, utterly enraged.

Everyone was born human only once. Why should people from Jia Nan Academy receive special treatment?

"What are you talking about?" Instructor Ruo Lin looked at Lin Yu in confusion. Even now, she did not know what Ge La had done and did not understand why Lin Yu was saying this.

At that moment, an unnamed man beside them said, "Ge La! The afternoon before yesterday, he killed a woman's parents in the Slums and even attempted to rape her. His crime was unforgivable!"

Instructor Ruo Lin fell silent. The people around them also lowered their heads in shame. Someone from their academy had committed such an unforgivable act, yet they had repeatedly stressed that he was from Jia Nan Academy. Were they not simply disgracing Jia Nan Academy?

"Heh heh... A renowned institution of the Dou Qi Continent? Are you even worthy?" Lin Yu mocked coldly.

"You..." Instructor Ruo Lin wanted to argue, but she could not find a single reason to do so. Their people had indeed done this, and even in Jia Nan Academy, it would have been unforgivable.

"When you go to someone else's territory, trouble yourselves to learn the rules first! The Black Corner Region is the most chaotic place on the continent, so God Extermination Hall is the pure land of this continent!" With that, Lin Yu flicked his sleeve and left.

"Give me his body!" the unnamed man said to Luobu.

Luobu stared at the unnamed man without moving or speaking.

"Don't make this difficult for me!" The unnamed man's expression darkened. He might have been wary of Jia Nan Academy before, but now he had nothing to fear.

"Give him the body!" Instructor Ruo Lin's voice sounded.

"Jia Nan Academy has no student like this!" Instructor Ruo Lin clenched her fists and said fiercely.

"But..." Luobu still wanted to say something.

"Did you not hear what I said?" Instructor Ruo Lin cut him off. A student like this made her feel ashamed.

"Fine..." Luobu heard the resolve in Instructor Ruo Lin's tone and had no choice but to compromise.

"Good, then I'll be leaving first!" Two black tentacles grew from the unnamed man's back and lifted Ge La's corpse. He then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Alright, everyone disperse!" Instructor Ruo Lin said to the crowd. She wanted some peace and quiet. What had happened today was far too thought-provoking.

"Instructor Ruo Lin, don't overthink it. Lin Yu has always been like that, and besides, Ge La deserved to die!" Xiao Yu comforted Instructor Ruo Lin from the side.

"Yu'er, you know that person?" Instructor Ruo Lin looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief.

When she had come out earlier, the two sides had immediately been at each other's throats, so she had not noticed that Xiao Yu had arrived with Lin Yu.

"Uh..." Xiao Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

"He... he's my cousin." Xiao Yu scratched her head, looking rather awkward. After all, her own cousin had come looking for her at her teacher's place.

Instructor Ruo Lin could hardly believe it. "He's your cousin?"

"Yeah..."

"What is your cousin's strength?"

"He's the Hall Master of God Extermination Hall, a Dou Zun..."

"..."

"Yu, is your cousin really a Dou Zun? And the Hall Master of God Extermination Hall?" Xue Ni stared at Xiao Yu with stars in her eyes.

"Oh, I've told you a million times already! Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Yu shot Xue Ni an annoyed glare.

"Hey, introduce me to him! What if he takes a liking to me someday? Wouldn't that be..." Xue Ni drifted off into a dreamy fantasy.

Xiao Yu rapped Xue Ni on the head. "What are you thinking about all day? He already has a partner! And they grew up together, so stop dreaming!"

"So what if he does? Don't outstanding men all have three wives and four concubines? You just want to keep him all to yourself! Hmph!" Xue Ni dismissed Xiao Yu's words with contempt. She believed she still had a chance.

"Don't talk nonsense! I... I don't want to be with him..."

"With him what? Just admit it, Xiao Yu—you want to keep him all to yourself!" With that, Xue Ni ran off.

"You lewd girl, stop right there! Explain yourself!"
