"Trying to leave?"
Seeing that Lei Pi was trying to escape, Lin Yi could not help but let out a cold laugh. Since he had already fallen out with the Lei Family, there was no need to worry about anything anymore. Those who wanted to kill him had only one path left—death!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Lin Yi's Spiritual Energy surged. In an instant, seven black flashes flew out of his Universe Ring and shot toward Lei Pi as fast as lightning!
When Lei Pi saw the rapidly approaching black flashes, his expression changed. Robust Yuan Power surged around his body as he abruptly dropped down, trying to dodge the incoming black flashes.
In the next instant, Lei Pi was horrified to see that the seven black flashes he had desperately dodged earlier had turned around unbelievably. They suddenly dove down and shot toward the vital points around his body!
This time, he no longer had time to dodge!
"Pfft, pfft!"
A series of muffled sounds rang out. The seven black flashes struck his limbs, heart, throat, and brow!
"Thud!"
In the blink of an eye, Lei Pi lost all signs of life. His corpse crashed heavily onto the ground, his eyes wide open and filled with intense terror!
Seeing that Lei Pi was dead, Lin Yi casually waved his hand. The seven black flashes he had shot out earlier flew back and were once again stored in his Universe Ring.
Those seven black flashes were precisely seven three-inch short swords that Lin Yi had forged from Shattering Origin Profound Steel. He had named them the Seven Star Shattering Origin Swords.
These seven short swords could not only be used separately as concealed weapons; when necessary, they could also be combined into one to face enemies.
If Lei Pi had fought him head-on, Lin Yi would not have minded using his Yuan Power techniques alone to spar with him.
But since Lei Pi had tried to escape, Lin Yi could not be bothered to play with him any longer.
"Brother Lin Yi, you're amazing! You killed all these people!" Qing Tan said admiringly when she saw that all the enemies had been dealt with, her expression finally relaxing as she moved closer to him.
Lin Yi was just about to reply when he suddenly heard a large number of footsteps charging over from the distance.
"Yi'er!"
Lin Yi was secretly on guard when he heard Lin Xiao's voice.
"My father brought people here. Let's wait for him before leaving," Lin Yi said to Qing Tan. He then began searching the corpses, but unfortunately, he did not find anything valuable.
"Yi'er, Qing Tan, are you two all right?" Before long, Lin Xiao brought a group of men to where Lin Yi and Qing Tan were.
"Father, don't worry. We're fine," Lin Yi replied with a smile.
Lin Xiao came running over. When he swept his gaze across the area and saw the corpses on the ground, his expression changed dramatically. He stepped forward and blocked Lin Yi and Qing Tan behind him.
The Lin Family guards also drew their swords with ringing sounds, protecting the three of them in the center.
"What happened?"
When Lin Xiao asked, Lin Yi did not conceal anything. "People from the Lei Family—Lei Pi and Lei Xing—brought ten archers to kill me. Then I killed them instead."
"What? Lei Pi and Lei Xing were killed by you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's thoughts seemed to freeze for several seconds. After a long while, he abruptly turned his head and stared fixedly at Lin Yi, utterly shocked.
Swish, swish!
The surrounding Lin Family guards also opened their mouths wide at that moment, staring at the young man they were protecting in the center. They suddenly felt their scalps tingle.
Lei Pi and Lei Xing were said to be experts who had both reached the Mid Heaven Origin Realm. Yet now, the two of them had joined forces and brought subordinates with them, only to not accomplish anything and instead be killed by Lin Yi?
"I was just lucky. I discovered their ambush in advance..." Lin Yi said modestly as he faced the surrounding gazes.
"Damn, can being lucky really let someone kill two experts at the Mid Heaven Origin Realm?"
Several loyal Lin Family guards exchanged glances and muttered among themselves.
Even if he discovered the ambush in advance, without sufficient strength, he would have had difficulty escaping disaster, let alone launching such a powerful counterattack!
"Good boy!"
Lin Xiao heavily patted Lin Yi's shoulder. In the end, he merely spat out those three words, his face filled with gratification and pride.
"What? The Lei Family actually attacked Yi'er?!"
Within Ironwood Manor, Lin Zhentian's face turned extremely grim when he heard Lin Xiao's report.
"Hehe, Father, you don't need to worry. Lei Pi and Lei Xing not only failed to accomplish anything, they were instead killed by Yi'er. Including Lei Pi and Lei Xing, not one of them escaped!"
There was a hint of pride in Lin Xiao's voice as he laughed. "When that old bastard Lei Bao hears this news, he'll probably be so furious that he vomits blood."
Lin Xiao's words caused the atmosphere in the hall to fall silent for a moment. Then, just as expected, he saw shock appear on the faces of Lin Zhentian and the others.
"This boy is truly unbelievable. Lei Pi and Lei Xing are not people Yan Kuo and Wu Sha can compare to!"
The shock lasted for quite some time before everyone gradually recovered. They clicked their tongues, their faces filled with amazement and delight.
"Father, it seems the Lei Family intends to attack our Lin Family directly this time. What should we do?" After marveling over it, a cold glint flashed through Lin Mang's eyes as he spoke.
The current Lin Mang no longer had the slightest intention of provoking Lin Xiao and his son. He only hoped that the Lin Family could prosper forever, so that he and his father could benefit as well.
"Hmm." Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, then smiled. "After suffering such a huge loss, given Lei Bao's temperament, he won't swallow it so easily."
"Pass down the order. The Lin Family is to enter a state of alert and keep a close eye on every move the Lei Family makes."
A glint flashed through Lin Yi's eyes. "Grandfather, since we've already completely fallen out with the Lei Family, why don't we strike first and destroy them directly?"
"The Lei Family has five Heaven Origin Realm experts in total. I've already killed two, leaving only three. Our Lin Family, on the other hand, now has five Heaven Origin Realm experts."
"Moreover, I'm now in the Late Heaven Origin Realm. With the assistance of my Spiritual Energy, I'm absolutely certain I can kill Lei Bao!"
"What? Yi'er, you've already reached the Late Heaven Origin Realm?"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Zhentian and the others were shocked once more.
"That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to easily kill Lei Pi, Lei Xing, and the others," Lin Yi said with a slight nod.
When the three Lin Ken brothers learned that Lin Yi had broken through to the Late Heaven Origin Realm, they were overjoyed. Afterward, they became somewhat tempted by Lin Yi's proposal.
Lin Zhentian pondered for a while before shaking his head. "If we act now, and the Lei Family joins forces with the Xie Family, then even if we win, we'll suffer heavy losses. Besides, I want to personally deal with that old bastard Lei Bao!"
"Let's wait a little longer. I feel that I'm not far from breaking through to the Yuan Dan Stage. Perhaps I'll succeed in less than a month. Once I break through to the Yuan Dan Stage, I alone can suppress the Lei Family, while you deal with the Xie Family."
"Yes, Father!" The three Lin Ken brothers nodded in response.
Lin Yi thought it over but did not try to persuade Lin Zhentian further. Lin Zhentian had always valued caution above all else.
Moreover, according to Lin Yi's estimate, Lin Zhentian would be able to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage in about half a month.
This was nearly a month earlier than in the original story. Lei Bao should not have broken through yet. Since the old man wanted to deal with Lei Bao personally, Lin Yi would give him the chance.
It was only half a month, after all. Lin Yi could afford to wait...
