Slaying the Source of Calamity: The Future Traitor Dies Today—Dingguang Dies!

Seeing Long-Eared Rabbit Demon acting so arrogantly, Lin Zhu could not help but say, "Such despicable behavior is a disgrace to our Daoist Sect. I came to uphold the Dao—how is this meddling in others' affairs?"

"You bully Golden Turtle with your strength and seek to seize another's Cave Mansion. Today, I shall eliminate an evil Daoist like you."

Long-Eared Rabbit Demon had already reached the Peak True Immortal and was only one step away from becoming a Profound Immortal. With a magical treasure in hand, he even had the courage to fight a Profound Immortal.

Thus, relying on his formidable strength, he did not take Lin Zhu seriously.

What he did not know was that Lin Zhu was already a Grand Yi Golden Immortal. Otherwise, he would likely have turned and fled long ago.

"Boy, today I'll teach you that some people's affairs are not yours to meddle in."

With that, Long-Eared Rabbit Demon moved his hand, and a Long Sword appeared within it. Wielding the sword, he slashed toward Lin Zhu.

As the Long Sword rose, it whipped up a violent gale. A massive sword radiance a hundred zhang long slashed toward Lin Zhu's waist, intending to cut him in two.

Seeing his opponent use a sword, Lin Zhu sneered inwardly.

Using a sword before him—was that not showing off one's skills before an expert?

With that thought!

Lin Zhu felt a hint of amusement as well. With a flick of his hand, the Qingping Sword appeared in his grasp. Turning his wrist, dozens of sword flowers bloomed upon the Qingping Sword and swept toward Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's Long Sword.

Rumble!

The sword qi of the two clashed in midair.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared at once, accompanied by deafening blasts.

Violent Sword Intent swept forth, and Long-Eared Rabbit Demon was secretly startled. He hurriedly withdrew and flew back, dodging Lin Zhu's strike.

Lin Zhu's sword qi uprooted enormous trees within several dozen zhang, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere. The power of that strike was plain to see.

How could Long-Eared Rabbit Demon compare to Lin Zhu's current understanding of the sword Dao?

Furthermore, Lin Zhu's cultivation was higher than Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's, and he wielded the Qingping Sword. It was only natural that the latter had been forced back by a single strike.

A casually unleashed sword strike was already beyond Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's ability to withstand!

And Lin Zhu had only been toying with him. Had he fought seriously... Long-Eared Rabbit Demon would have fallen long ago!

Elsewhere, seeing the ferocity of Lin Zhu's swordsmanship, Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's gaze flickered.

"This man's understanding of the sword Dao far exceeds my expectations. I fear I am no match for him!"

"I can only bring out my magical treasure!"

With that thought, Long-Eared Rabbit Demon shouted, "Boy, behold my magical treasure!"

Following his shout, a pearl whistled forth and shot into the air.

The pearl spun wildly in the sky as Yin Yang Qi swept across the Eight Wastelands, stirring the nine heavens. Its momentum was terrifying beyond measure.

This was Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's prized magical treasure, the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl.

He cultivated the Dao of yin and yang, and this pearl was his prized magical treasure. He had refined it for countless years. It was a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and once deployed, its power was immense. Its Yin Yang Qi could tear opponents to pieces.

It had always been invincible.

This was precisely where Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's confidence lay.

Seeing Long-Eared Rabbit Demon use a magical treasure, Golden Turtle could not help but grow worried.

This Daoist was righteous enough to stand up for him. If he lost his life because of this, would that not forge a Karmic Bond?

Golden Turtle secretly resolved that if Lin Zhu could not prevail, then even if he had to risk his old life and self-destruct his primordial spirit, he would drag Long-Eared Rabbit Demon down with him.

"A magical treasure?"

Seeing Long-Eared Rabbit Demon deploy the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl, Lin Zhu remained calm and unhurried.

He also possessed several magical treasures, none of which were inferior to Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl.

However, Lin Zhu had only played with Long-Eared Rabbit Demon for so long because he had been somewhat amused.

But now... killing intent had arisen in him. He intended to thoroughly slay Long-Eared Rabbit Demon and eliminate this future scourge of the Jie Sect.

Thus, as Long-Eared Rabbit Demon raised the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl, Lin Zhu also deployed the Violet Lightning Hammer!

At the same time, he secretly held the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls at the ready, determined to kill Long-Eared Rabbit Demon!

Rumble!

As the Violet Lightning Hammer was deployed, streaks of lightning erupted throughout the sky.

Purple divine lightning raged through the air.

Under the divine lightning, the Yin Yang Qi was immediately torn apart, and several bolts of divine lightning charged straight toward Long-Eared Rabbit Demon.

For a moment.

Seeing his magical treasure shattered, Long-Eared Rabbit Demon was greatly alarmed.

At the same time, he understood that the man before him possessed greater cultivation and more powerful magical treasures. He had merely been toying with him before!

With that thought!

Long-Eared Rabbit Demon immediately tried to escape.

However, the instant he turned around, the Twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls came whistling toward him.

Before Long-Eared Rabbit Demon could react, all twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls struck him simultaneously.

Each Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl was as heavy as a mountain.

The consequences of being hit by all twelve at once were obvious!

Bang!

Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's fleshly body could not withstand that immense force and instantly exploded.

His primordial spirit fled in panic, trying to escape into the distance.

However, a giant hand descended from the void and seized Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's primordial spirit. Lin Zhu had anticipated this long ago, so he had intercepted Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's path of escape and captured his primordial spirit.

"W-wait...!"

"Great Immortal, spare my life!"

Long-Eared Rabbit Demon was scared out of his wits and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Lin Zhu said coldly, "When you bullied Golden Turtle, did you ever consider sparing him? You cultivate the Dao of yin and yang, which already defies heaven's harmony. How could I spare a despicable man like you? Die!"

With that, he released a burst of mana and crushed Long-Eared Rabbit Demon's primordial spirit into dust.

After slaying the future Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, Lin Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he had severed the Karmic Bond of the Jie Sect's future downfall.

When Long-Eared Rabbit Demon entered the Jie Sect, he would become its shame and the source of its calamity.

As the First Disciple of Jie Sect, Lin Zhu naturally had to eliminate this threat in advance.

This was also a responsibility.

"Thank you, Upper Immortal, for saving me! May I ask your esteemed name?"

Seeing Lin Zhu slay Long-Eared Rabbit Demon, Golden Turtle immediately thanked him.

Lin Zhu looked at Golden Turtle and said, "I am Lin Zhu, Senior Disciple under the Jie Sect. I was traveling and happened to pass by this place. Seeing that evil Daoist bullying others, how could I stand idly by? There is no need to thank me. We cultivators should eliminate evil and promote good, doing deeds of Merit."

Hearing that the man before him was actually a disciple of the Jie Sect and a direct disciple of a Saint, Golden Turtle was filled with solemn respect.

"So my benefactor is a disciple of a Saint. No wonder your mana is so profound and you so easily slew that evil Daoist. I have long admired the Jie Sect. To encounter one of its direct disciples today is truly a great fortune."

Lin Zhu said lightly, "This Golden Turtle Island is a blessed land of hidden paradise. If you cultivate here, an opportunity will surely descend upon you after many years. Entering the Jie Sect may not be impossible."

"Should anyone come to seize the island during this time, you may invoke the name of my Jie Sect to frighten away such petty scoundrels."

Upon hearing this, Golden Turtle was overwhelmed with surprise and delight.

Lin Zhu had saved his life, and as a direct disciple of a Saint, he was naturally not a person of poor character. He would never deceive a minor immortal who had only just entered the True Immortal Realm.

If he could listen to a Saint impart the Dao, it would surely bring enormous benefits to his cultivation. Calling it a heaven-sent opportunity would not be an exaggeration.

Besides, with the Jie Sect's name protecting him, who would dare come and seize Golden Turtle Island?

He immediately bowed to thank Lin Zhu once more.

Lin Zhu said, "This Immortal Island is a blessed land of hidden paradise. I wish to look around the island. You do not object, do you?"

How would Golden Turtle dare object? He hurriedly shifted into human form and personally guided Lin Zhu, treating him with the utmost respect.

Lin Zhu found that Golden Turtle's character was rather good.

As they traveled around the island, he explained some matters concerning cultivation. Golden Turtle listened attentively and gained much from it.

Lin Zhu remained on Golden Turtle Island for more than ten years.

Only then did he bid Golden Turtle farewell and leave the island.

Golden Turtle returned to his Cave Mansion to cultivate, contemplating what he had learned from Lin Zhu over the years.

After leaving Golden Turtle Island, Lin Zhu continued traveling through the Primordial Wilderness.

For the time being, he had no plans to return to Mount Kunlun. He intended to travel for a while longer before returning to Kunlun Mountain.
