Instant Kill in Same Realm, Sword's Cry Shocks the Clan!

"Boom!"

The tearing force of the fist wind had already grazed his ears!

The elder's pupils shrank, his face filled with horror.

It was already too late to change his stance; he could only desperately cross his arms in front of his chest!

Lin Chen did not even use any Dou Technique.

He simply raised his right hand and curled his five fingers into a fist:

"Hiss!"

Blood-red Dou Qi instantly covered his fist like a living thing.

He threw out a punch, light and effortless!

There was no violent leakage of energy.

Only a sense of extreme condensation and... destruction!

"Crack! Crack!"

"Pfft!"

The teeth-grinding sound of shattering bones rang out like popping beans!

The elder's arms, wrapped in thick earth-attribute Dou Qi, met the blood-colored fist.

In that instant, they were like rotten wood meeting a high-speed drill, snapping and pulverizing inch by inch!

The blood-red fist, unstoppable, drove straight through.

It slammed heavily into his chest!

His protective Dou Qi was torn apart like paper.

His sternum instantly caved in, emitting a heart-stopping, muffled thud!

"Urgh!"

The elder let out a short, piercing scream of extreme agony.

His eyes bulged, and he spewed a mixture of blood and visceral fragments from his mouth!

His entire body was sent flying backward, as if struck by a speeding truck.

He flew back faster than he had come, slamming violently into the wall in the distance:

"Boom! Crack!"

With a thunderous crash, the wall cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

The old man remained embedded within, blood gushing out; it was clear he would not survive!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

The entire hall was left with only the faint sounds of dripping blood and sliding debris from the wall.

The ferocious grin on Jialie Bi's face froze completely.

It transformed into a look of extreme shock and disbelief!

Jialie Ao was like a duck with its throat constricted.

His mouth hung wide open, his face deathly pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with terror!

The other elders all gasped in unison, their faces drained of color!

One move!

No, it couldn't even be called a move!

It was just a casual punch!

A two-star Dou Grandmaster, both arms shattered, chest collapsed, dead on the spot?!

What... what kind of terrifying power was this?!

What kind of monster was this?!

Jialie Bi's heart hammered wildly.

A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp!

He stared fiercely at the gray-robed figure slowly retracting his fist.

The other party's aura was terrifyingly steady, as if he had just swatted a fly!

A forbidden secret technique! He must have used some forbidden secret technique with a massive cost!

This thought flashed through Jialie Bi's mind in an instant.

It was the only explanation he could conceive!

He absolutely refused to believe that two people of the same Dou Grandmaster rank could have such a massive gap in strength!

"Bastard! How dare you!"

Jialie Bi was shocked and furious, but more than anything, he was terrified!

Suppressing the palpitations in his heart, he roared with a fierce expression that barely masked his cowardice:

"Attack together! Kill him!"

"He used a secret technique; he surely can't hold on for long!"

"Kill him to avenge the Third Elder!"

Though he roared ferociously, he subconsciously took half a step back.

At the same time, he violently pulled a signal jade talisman from his robes and crushed it without a moment's hesitation!

"Whoosh! Bang!"

A blinding red light shot into the sky and exploded above the Jialie Mansion.

It formed the shape of a massive, blood-colored wolf head!

The shrill sound instantly echoed throughout the entire estate!

The clan's highest emergency signal!

All elders, guards, and core members were to assemble immediately to defend against the enemy!

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the signal go off, Jialie Bi seemed to regain his confidence.

He clenched his fists, his Dou Qi circulating frantically within his body.

He glared at Lin Chen with venomous eyes:

"You rat! Your death date has arrived!"

"I don't believe that secret technique of yours can be used a second time!"

"Once my Jialie Clan's experts gather, we will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

He firmly believed that the terrifying punch from earlier was a desperate ultimate move that must have cost the opponent a heavy price!

He must be at the end of his rope now!

Lin Chen stood where he was, the corners of his mouth beneath his hood curling into a cold, mocking arc.

Secret technique? End of his rope?

He hadn't even used ten percent of his power just now!

It was a pure basic attack, if one could even call it that!

The quality, density, and tyrannical power contained within the Blood Origin Dou Qi cultivated by the Blood Scripture.

How could a Dou Grandmaster like Jialie Bi, who practiced ordinary techniques, even imagine it?

Invincible among his peers?

No, it was a one-shot kill!

He hadn't killed Jialie Bi instantly on purpose.

Leaving him a breath of life was exactly what he had been waiting for!

He wanted him to gather the clan's experts and the majority of their personnel first.

This would make it easier for him to act and would also reduce the chance of anyone escaping!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Powerful auras erupted rapidly from every corner of the mansion.

Figures surged toward the main hall from all directions like a tide!

Footsteps, shouts, and the sound of blades being drawn merged into a chaotic din!

The First Elder, the Second Elder... all the clan experts remaining on the grounds.

Along with a large number of guards, they quickly surrounded the main hall, leaving no path for escape!

Swords were drawn, crossbows were cocked, and the air was thick with killing intent!

In just a few dozen breaths, the core strength of the Jialie Clan had almost entirely gathered here!

Seeing the clan's experts assembled and the sea of people surrounding him, Jialie Bi felt completely reassured, a sinister smile returning to his face.

It was as if victory were already in his grasp:

"You rat! Do you see this? This is the strength of my Jialie Clan!"

"Kneel and beg for mercy now, and perhaps I might leave your corpse intact!"

Lin Chen slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the dense, murderous crowd surrounding him.

The mocking curve of his lips grew more pronounced.

The people had finally all arrived.

He let out a soft sigh, appearing somewhat helpless, yet also... expectant?

"A family, after all, is best when they are all together."

His raspy voice rang out, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

Under the puzzled and bewildered gazes of Jialie Bi, Jialie Ao, and all the members of the Jialie clan.

Lin Chen slowly raised his hands.

"Hum! Hum!"

Two sword hums, as if originating from the Nine Nether Hells, suddenly tore through the clamor!

One red and one gray, two ancient sword phantoms, condensed to the extreme and exuding a terrifying aura of slaughtering the living and annihilating all things.

They manifested out of thin air, circling Lin Chen slowly like living fish!

Yuantu! Abi!

The moment the twin swords appeared, an indescribable, terrifying killing intent and an aura of death swept through the entire hall like a tangible storm!

The temperature plummeted!

The weaker guards felt their souls tremble and their limbs turn icy cold, barely able to keep a grip on their weapons!

Even the Dou Grandmaster elders felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if they had been locked onto by the gaze of the Grim Reaper!

The smile on Jialie Bi's face froze instantly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks.

Boundless fear, like freezing seawater, instantly submerged him!

From those two eerie sword phantoms!

He felt an aura even more terrifying and despair-inducing than that punch from before!

This... this is not Dou Qi manifestation!

What kind of monster is this?!

Lin Chen's gaze beneath his hood was like ten-thousand-year-old ice, piercing through the crowd.

He locked onto the bloodless face of Jialie Bi.

He tilted his head slightly, his voice remaining calm, yet sounding like a death sentence:

"Are you all here?"

"Perfect."

"The feast can begin."
