After Lin Qin left Arctic Ice Plains, he flew all the way south. Four years of hard training allowed him to control his power to a new height. He hardly caused any energy fluctuations when flying, and his body seemed to blend into the heaven and earth in the air.

On this day, he entered the territory of the original Fenlai Kingdom. Below was a rolling hilly area with withered vegetation and sparsely populated areas. Just as he was about to speed up and fly through this area, a strong energy collision suddenly came from ahead.

Lin Qin slowed down and stretched his mental power forward. He felt a familiar violent breath, with Dragon Blood's unique burning heat.

"Linley?" He immediately recognized the owner of this breath.

In addition to Linley, there are several different energy fluctuations. One is the pure power of light, with the intensity reaching the peak of the Saint Realm; the other is cold and dead, which should be undead magic; and there are several relatively weak dark breaths.

Lin Qin changed direction and flew towards the source of energy. Soon, he saw clearly the battle situation below.

Linley has completed Dragon Blood Transformation, with dark red scales covering his whole body, but he is in extremely poor condition at the moment. There is a sword wound deep into the bone on his chest, and his left arm is twisted unnaturally and is obviously broken. Even so, he still stubbornly blocks the front and protects his companions behind him.

Behind him stood an old man wearing a tattered mage robe. His face was as pale as paper, and the staff in his hand exuded gray-black necromantic energy. Next to him were a Shadow Mouse and a Black Wolf. They were also injured, but they still grinned and growled at the enemy.

The most eye-catching ones are the five tall men chained by iron chains. Although they are bound, their eyes are burning with unyielding fire, and their bodies are not as strong as ordinary people.

Their opponent was a middle-aged man wearing silver-white armor. This man held a holy light sword, and each sword carried the power of light that purified everything. Several Temple Knight he brought were besieging Shadow Mouse and Black Wolf, while he himself was calmly suppressing Linley and Necromancer.

"Steller, do you Radiant Church just bully the minority with more?" Linley spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at the enemy in front of him.

Steller sneered, "Dragonblood Warrior, Necromancer, and these cursed heretics. No one of you can escape today."

He raised the sword of holy light, and a dazzling light condensed on the sword. "Accept the judgment of light!"

At this critical moment, a calm voice came from the air:

"Stop."

Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and looked up in unison.

Lin Qin was suspended in mid-air, his black clothes fluttering slightly in the wind. He looked ordinary, without any powerful energy leaking from his body, but Steller instinctively felt dangerous.

"Who is it?" Steller shouted sharply, "Radiant Church is here to perform a mission. The rest of us are waiting to leave as soon as possible!"

Linley saw the person coming, surprise flashed in his eyes. "Lin Qin!"

Lin Qin nodded to Linley and turned to Steller: "Take your people and leave."

Steller was so angry that he laughed back, "Just you? How dare you, a hidden person, interfere in Theocracy's affairs?"

He stopped talking nonsense, and with a flash of his body, the Holy Light Sword pierced Lin Qin with the aura of purifying all things. He used 80% of his strength with this sword, which was enough to severely injure ordinary Saint Realm strong men.

Lin Qin Facing this sharp sword, he just slowly raised his right hand. He didn't use any weapon, he just spread his fingers and pressed down gently against the incoming sword light.

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire audience. Steller's forward body suddenly paused, as if he was stuck in a quagmire. He felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on him, and even breathing became difficult. The light on the Holy Light Sword fluctuated violently, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.

"What kind of power is this?" Steller was horrified. He had never encountered such a situation before. The opponent didn't even make a formal move and suppressed his offensive with just his momentum.

Lin Qin didn't give him time to think. He pointed at Steller from a distance like a sword.

An earth-yellow finger wind shoots out, seemingly slowly, but in fact it arrives instantly. Wherever the finger wind passes, the space is slightly distorted.

Steller wanted to raise his sword to block, but found that his body was too heavy to move. He could only watch the finger wind hit his chest.

"Crack!"

Holy Light Armor's armor shattered in response. The finger wind penetrated his body, and Steller felt like he was hit hard. He flew backwards and smashed into the mountain wall in the distance.

Those Temple Knight who were besieging Bebe and Haeru were all stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes: Lord Chief Judge, a strong man at the peak of the Saint Realm, was defeated by the opponent with one move?

Lin Qin fell from the air and stood in front of Linley. He glanced at the injuries on Linley's body and frowned slightly.

"Can I still leave?"

Linley smiled bitterly and nodded, "I can't die."

He lifted Dragon Blood Transformation, revealing his body full of scars. Cesler quickly stepped forward and used undead magic to stop his bleeding.

The five strong men who were tied up in chains looked at Lin Qin warily, but there was already a hint of gratitude in their eyes.

Lin Qin didn't say much, he just signaled to everyone. "Get out of here first."

He raised his hand and waved, and a soft force of earth lifted up the injured people and quickly left the area.

Not long after they left, Steller struggled to free himself from the mountain wall. His face was pale, there was an obvious finger hole in his chest, and blood was oozing out.

"Sir!" Temple Knights hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Steller pushed them away and looked at the direction Lin Qin and others were leaving, with fear in his eyes.

"Who... is this person?"
