Accompanied by Little Yan's tiger roar that shook the forest.

"Attack!"

Lin Dong shouted low and charged fiercely into the group of Lei Family martial artists right behind Little Yan.

He was no longer the inexperienced boy he had once been.

After this period of grueling cultivation, his strength had steadily entered the mid Earth Origin Realm. The Origin Power within his Dantian was far more vigorous than that of Martial Artists at the same level.

Facing these Lei Family lackeys, most of whom were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm, along with two early Earth Origin Realm Martial Artists, he felt no fear whatsoever!

Bang!

Lin Dong's face was cold as pale golden Origin Power surged across his right palm. Without mercy, he struck the chest of a Lei Family Martial Artist rushing toward him.

The man did not even have time to scream before his breastbone instantly caved in. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into a half-corroded ironwood trunk and dying on the spot.

Meanwhile.

Little Yan was even more ferocious.

As a Fire Python Tiger, it had been born a king of the jungle.

Its massive body rampaged through the crowd, and every swipe of its sharp tiger claws stirred up a storm of blood.

"Ah!!"

"A Fire Python Tiger?!"

"We can't stop it! We can't stop it at all!"

Within only a few breaths, the Lei Family Martial Artists who had been arrogantly splashing around Black Corpse Water suffered devastating casualties, and cries of agony filled the area.

"Stop!!"

At that moment, two furious roars rang out.

The two leaders overseeing this destruction operation—Qin Ying and Dai En—finally recovered from their shock.

Seeing the corpses strewn across the ground and the ruined barrels of Black Corpse Water, their expressions instantly turned incomparably ugly.

Especially when they clearly saw the young face slaughtering through the crowd, the shock in their eyes turned into intense killing intent.

"Lin Dong?!"

Qin Ying's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared through gritted teeth:

"So it's you, you little bastard!"

"You've got some nerve, launching a sneak attack on Ironwood Manor and killing Lei Family men!"

Dai En also stared at Lin Dong with a sinister expression. A hint of wariness flashed through his eyes, but there was even more viciousness there.

"How did this brat get here?"

"Could the main gate have fallen?"

"No. If the gate had fallen, the Manor Lord would have sent a signal... It seems this brat sneaked in!"

With that thought, Dai En made a swift decision. He pulled a signal arrow from his robes and hurled it into the sky.

Whoosh—!

Pop!

A sharp shriek tore through the air, followed by a red firework exploding above Ironwood Manor.

It was the Lei Family's emergency distress signal!

"The signal has been sent. Lord Lei Nuo and Lord Lei Ying will be here soon!"

After doing that, Dai En glared at Lin Dong with a savage expression and swung his saber.

"Qin Ying, attack together!"

"This brat may be talented, but he's still young."

"Before the lords arrive, killing him will be a great merit!"

"Fine!"

Qin Ying let out a cruel laugh. Holding a refined steel Long Sword, Origin Power erupted from his entire body. Together with Dai En, he charged at Lin Dong from the left and right, forming a pincer attack.

Neither of them was weak. Both had reached the early Earth Origin Realm and were considered capable experts even within the Lei Family.

With the two joining forces, their momentum was terrifying.

However.

There was not the slightest trace of panic on Lin Dong's face as he faced the assault of these two veteran experts.

Instead.

A cold curve rose at the corner of his lips.

"You want to kill me?"

"With two pieces of trash like you, I'm afraid you're not qualified!"

Before his words had faded, Lin Dong stomped heavily on the ground.

Boom!

A powerful wave of Origin Power burst from his body, instantly shattering all the fallen leaves around him.

"Stone Splitting Palm!"

Lin Dong shouted low and advanced instead of retreating.

His palm instantly turned jade-like, carrying an incomparably fierce gale as it directly ignored Qin Ying's thrusting Long Sword and struck the blade head-on.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clash rang out.

Qin Ying felt a terrifying force travel through the sword. The web between his thumb and forefinger instantly split open, and the Long Sword nearly flew from his hand.

"What?!"

Qin Ying's expression changed drastically.

How could this brat possess such incredible strength?!

Before he could react, Lin Dong's other hand had already formed a strange seal.

"Mysterious Gate Seal!"

Buzz!

A dazzling Golden Light gathered in Lin Dong's palm, forming an ancient golden seal.

As Lin Dong thrust out his palm, the golden seal swelled in the wind, carrying an oppressive force capable of suppressing everything as it slammed toward Dai En, who had been launching a sneak attack from the side.

"Not good!"

Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the seal, Dai En's pupils suddenly contracted.

He wanted to dodge, only to find himself firmly locked onto by its aura.

With no other choice, he could only raise his saber and desperately mobilize all the Origin Power in his body, trying to withstand the blow head-on.

Boom!

The golden seal smashed heavily into the saber.

Crack!

The refined steel saber was instantly covered in cracks before exploding apart!

"Pfft!"

Dai En gushed out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a tattered sack, crashing viciously into the Black Corpse Water behind him as he let out a shrill scream.

"Dai En!"

Qin Ying was terrified out of his wits.

In just one exchange!

The two Earth Origin Realm experts had joined forces, yet one was injured and the other forced back?!

What was going on with Lin Dong?!

"You can join him!"

Lin Dong pressed his advantage without mercy. His body flashed like lightning, and he instantly appeared before Qin Ying. Another heavy Stone Splitting Palm slammed into Qin Ying's chest.

Bang!

Qin Ying's breastbone shattered. He screamed and followed Dai En's fate.

In only a brief moment.

The Lei Family's two great experts had been severely injured!

The surrounding Lei Family Martial Artists who had originally wanted to help were now scared senseless. Their hands and feet turned cold, and they could not even hold their weapons properly.

This Lin Family brat was simply a monster!

However.

Just as Lin Dong was preparing to press his victory and finish off these two scourges for good.

Suddenly!

Two extremely powerful auras shot over from the front courtyard of Ironwood Manor at astonishing speed.

"You insolent brat, how dare you!!!"

Along with a furious roar, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the forest.

Lin Dong's expression changed as he abruptly looked up.

Two figures descended from the sky like great rocs spreading their wings.

They were Lei Nuo and Lei Ying, who had received the signal and rushed back at full speed!

When they saw the devastation all over the ground, the destroyed barrels of Black Corpse Water, and Qin Ying and Dai En lying gravely injured with their lives uncertain.

Both men's eyes instantly turned red.

"Good, good, good!"

"Lin Dong, very good!"

"We originally intended to let you live a few more days. Since you are so eager to die, this old man will grant your wish!"

Lei Ying had the most violent temper.

Seeing Qin Ying beaten half to death by Lin Dong, rage rushed to his head. He did not care about his status as an elder at all. With a flash, he appeared directly before Lin Dong.

"Die!"

Boom!

Lei Ying struck out with his palm.

This was no longer the power of the Earth Origin Realm.

This was genuine Heavenly Origin Realm power!

Surging Origin Power poured forth like raging waves. Before the Palm Wind even arrived, it had already scraped away a layer of earth from the ground.

Facing this killing blow.

Lin Dong felt every hair on his body stand on end as a sense of mortal danger instantly engulfed his heart.

He could not evade it!

I'll risk it all!

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and instantly pushed the Origin Power within his body to its limit.

"Mysterious Gate Seal!"

His hands formed seals frantically as he tried to use his strongest move to block the attack.

Boom!!!

The two palms collided.

A dull explosion rang out.

"Pfft!"

The enormous gap in strength instantly turned Lin Dong's face deathly pale, and he gushed out a mouthful of blood.

His body flew backward like a cannonball, snapping three ironwood trees thick enough for two people to encircle before he finally came to a stop.

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Dong clutched his chest and knelt on one knee. Blood continuously spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his aura instantly weakened.

A Heavenly Origin Realm expert truly was terrifying!

Even with his extraordinary talent and ability to challenge opponents above his level, he still seemed so fragile before absolute realm suppression.

"Hmph. You overestimated yourself."

After knocking Lin Dong back with one palm, Lei Ying looked at the youth kneeling on the ground and barely clinging to life. A cruel sneer curled across his lips.

"Little bastard, when you reincarnate in your next life, remember to keep your eyes open!"

With that.

Killing intent burst from Lei Ying's eyes.

He gave Lin Dong no chance to catch his breath. Clenching his hand, a sharp dagger appeared in his grasp.

With a flash, he charged toward Lin Dong once again.

This time, he aimed directly for Lin Dong's throat!

He wanted to completely snuff out this Lin Family genius here and now!

"Dong'er!"

The Lin Family members who had just arrived from behind and had not yet had time to intervene cried out in despair at the sight.

Even Little Yan let out a grief-stricken roar and tried to rush over to save him, only to be blasted away by a burst of force from Lei Nuo.

The cold gleaming dagger was only inches from Lin Dong's throat.

In Lin Dong's pupils was reflected Lei Ying's savage, twisted old face.

Just as the situation hung by a thread and everyone believed Lin Dong was doomed.

Whoosh!

An inconspicuous streak of white light suddenly shot down from a nearby treetop without warning!

It was simply too fast.

So fast that Lei Nuo could not react.

So fast that Lin Dong could not see it clearly.

Even Lei Ying, who was in the midst of attacking and at his most vigilant, noticed nothing unusual!

All he saw was a flash of white light.

Immediately after.

The arm clutching the dagger, just about to pierce Lin Dong's throat, suddenly froze in midair.

The next second.

Splurt!

A line of blood suddenly burst from Lei Ying's shoulder!

His entire arm, along with the deadly dagger, had been severed at the root and sent flying into the air!

Blood sprayed like a fountain, instantly staining half of Lei Ying's body red!

"Aahhh!!!!!!"

Only when his arm flew off did the piercing agony finally reach Lei Ying's brain.

A shriek of utter misery, like a pig being slaughtered, instantly echoed throughout Ironwood Manor!
