Crushing

At the Lei Clan Courtyard, Lin Ge stood atop the roof, his demeanor calm and composed.

"Come."

Lei Bao and his four elders wore grave expressions, not daring to show the slightest bit of contempt.

"Are you afraid to come up? Then don't blame me."

Seeing the five men standing motionless, Lin Ge did not stand on ceremony; with a flash-step, he charged toward Lei Bao.

Among the five, the grudge between Lei Bao and Lin Ge was the deepest, so Lin Ge intended to kill him first before dealing with the other four in turn.

"Violent Thunder Fist!"

Facing Lin Ge's attack, Lei Bao unleashed his full strength, his internal Origin Power surging wildly into his right hand.

The gathering of Origin Power caused Lei Bao's right hand to be covered in azure thunder-glow, accompanied by a faint, crackling sound.

Watching Lin Ge approach at high speed, Lei Bao dodged while seizing an opening, fiercely slamming a blow toward his chest.

However, Lin Ge had long been prepared for this; he retracted his iron sword, held it horizontally before his chest, and wreathed it in sword intent.

Bang!

The fist slammed into the iron sword, erupting with a terrifying, incomparable force that forced Lin Ge back several steps.

At that very moment, the four elders of the Lei Clan launched a fierce assault, catching him off guard by attacking his legs, wrists, forehead, and eyes simultaneously.

These four were the Supreme Elders of the Lei Clan, having experienced countless battles; their timing was precise, striking exactly when Lin Ge's defense was at its weakest.

Lin Ge steadied his stance and slashed out a sword strike with lightning speed; the beam of sword light split into four, each lashing out at one of the attacking elders.

The saying goes: "The Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things." It was based on this that Lin Ge created a formidable sword technique called the Thirty-Six Swords of Heaven-Destroying Earth-Shattering.

The Thirty-Six Swords of Heaven-Destroying Earth-Shattering could unleash thirty-six sword qi blasts with a single swing, each carrying the power to destroy heaven and shatter earth, capable of slaying any enemy.

Of course, at Lin Ge's current realm, he was far from reaching that level.

As of now, he could unleash at most five sword beams at once, and the power of each beam was weaker than he had anticipated.

According to Lin Ge's vision, the Thirty-Six Swords of Heaven-Destroying Earth-Shattering should grow stronger with each successive strike, with the final strike being over ten thousand times more powerful than the first.

Naturally, even if Lin Ge could not yet wield such immense power, it was more than enough to deal with four Heaven Origin Realm experts.

The four men were sent stumbling back several meters by the sword beams, each sporting a trace of blood at the corners of their mouths.

"This brat's sword technique is truly extraordinary; a casual strike carries such might."

Lei Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze toward Lin Ge filled with newfound wariness.

"The more extraordinary he appears, the more he must die. If we don't kill him now, I fear that even if we join forces later, we will be no match for him." Lei Bao stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Once these words were spoken, none of the four elders objected; in fact, they were in complete agreement.

The talent and strength Lin Ge displayed far exceeded their expectations. If he were allowed to continue developing like this, the Lei Clan would surely perish by his hand—a prospect neither Lei Bao nor the four elders wished to see.

"Lin Ge, we've come to help you!"

A voice rang out. Lei Bao turned his head to see Lin Xiao and Luo Cheng landing behind the five of them, facing them with cold hostility.

"Luo Cheng, leave now, and this old man will let bygones be bygones."

Five against three, yet Lei Bao lacked the confidence to win; he hatched a scheme, attempting to force Luo Cheng to retreat.

"Let bygones be bygones? Lei Bao, do you take me, Luo Cheng, for a three-year-old child?"

Luo Cheng sneered, looking at Lei Bao with a face full of mockery.

"You...!"

Lei Bao was furious, wishing he could engage in a life-or-death battle with Luo Cheng until he tore him to shreds.

"Two more Heaven Origin Realm experts. Lei Bao, it seems the trouble you've stirred up this time is not small."

Lei Feng's expression grew increasingly ugly. One Lin Ge was already troublesome enough, but to have two more Heaven Origin Realm experts emerge made the situation even harder to handle.

Lei Bao naturally heard the anger in Lei Feng's heart, but he said nothing; after all, this was indeed a mess of his own making, and he had no room to argue.

"Lei Mu, you and I will hold these two off. Lei Bao, hurry up and kill that brat."

Lei Feng clearly understood that this was not the time to assign blame, and after a moment of contemplation, he made his decision.

Lei Bao and the remaining two elders did not object; after all, at this moment, it was the best course of action.

"Attack!"

Lei Feng was a decisive man. Seeing that Lei Bao and the others did not object, he launched a fierce assault on Luo Cheng.

As a flash of thunder passed, Lei Feng transformed into a bolt of lightning, slamming a fist toward Luo Cheng.

"Well come!"

A look of gravity flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes. He was no slouch himself; he drew the long blade from his waist, channeled his Origin Power into it, and slashed down fiercely.

Bang!

The ripples of Origin Power exploded instantly, and both men retreated several meters before steadying themselves.

Shortly after their battle began, Lin Xiao and Lei Mu also engaged in a fierce struggle. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao's strength was still some distance from the peak of the Heaven Origin Realm, so he was no match for Lei Mu, though holding him off for a while was relatively easy for Lin Xiao.

"Damn it!"

Lei Mu clearly understood Lin Xiao's intentions, but since his strength was only slightly superior to Lin Xiao's, he could only fret in anxiety, utterly helpless to intervene.

On the other side, Lei Bao and the two remaining elders unleashed their full power, aiming every strike at Lin Ge's vital points, yet Lin Ge parried them one by one, preventing them from even getting close to him.

"To think the three of you could defeat me—you are truly overestimating yourselves."

Lin Ge sneered, his figure suddenly moving with blinding speed.

Lin Ge's rapid movements left the trio dazzled, unable to track his trajectory at all, forcing them to huddle together to deny him any opening.

"You think this will stop me? How foolish!"

Seeing their actions, a flash of disdain crossed Lin Ge's eyes before he slashed a sword strike at each of them.

Three fierce sword beams shot toward the trio almost simultaneously, and not daring to be careless, they hurriedly unleashed their most powerful martial arts to defend themselves.

"Thunderbolt Flash!"

"Beast Thunder Palm!"

"Thunderbolt Flash!"

BOOM!

The collision of the two forces instantly triggered a violent surge of Yuan Power, causing the entire house to collapse in an instant; Lei Bao and the others were buried beneath the rubble, falling silent.

Whether by coincidence or not, before the house collapsed, Lin Ge had landed beside a woman dressed in a red gown—the very woman Lei Bao was marrying today.

Lin Ge did not kill this woman; he merely glanced at her before withdrawing his gaze, calmly watching the pile of ruins.

As a peak expert of the Heaven Origin Realm, it was impossible for Lei Bao to die so easily, and Lin Ge was well aware of this, so he did not lower his guard, instead intensifying his sword intent once more!

"Can you kill him?"

Just as Lin Ge was fully focused on condensing his sword intent, a crisp voice rang out.
