Repelling the Heaven Origin Realm, Lin Xiao's Shock

"Seeing me arrive, you still dare to step up?"

"The brat from the Lin Clan is truly arrogant."

"Very well. Since you are so reckless, I shall make you pay the price for your arrogance!"

"If I let a genius like you live too long, my Lei Clan will truly find it hard to sleep in peace."

On the other side, Lei Ying's face flashed with surprise as he saw Lin Yan dare to launch an attack against him, a Heaven Origin Realm expert, right in front of Lei Shan.

But after that brief moment of surprise, the expression on Lei Ying's face quickly shifted to disdain.

After all, the gap between the Earth Origin Realm and the Heaven Origin Realm was immense! Though they appeared to be separated by only a minor realm, in reality, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

Thus, after a cold sneer, Lei Ying suddenly exerted force into his fist and smashed it violently toward Lin Yan's incoming punch.

BOOM!

The two fists finally collided.

As they touched, a formidable force surged outward from the point of impact.

Lei Ying had expected to crush Lin Yan with a single blow, but to his surprise, the force behind Lin Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse was astonishing. Even with his advantage in cultivation, he could not gain the slightest upper hand in this head-on clash.

As both Lei Ying and Lin Yan retreated half a step, Lei Ying suddenly swept out with his leg, the speed of the strike as swift as a thunderbolt!

"Swift Thunder Sweep!"

Seeing this, Lin Yan dared not be careless. Abandoning other low-level martial arts, he unleashed another fierce Eight Extremities Collapse to meet the attack head-on.

The two sides were soon completely locked in a chaotic brawl.

Lin Yan displayed his exceptional close-quarters combat ability; his attacks were like a violent storm. When engaging Lei Ying, he utilized fists, elbows, knees, legs, and even his head to launch strikes.

Most importantly, Lin Yan's attacks were imbued with bursts of purple Beast Fire. While not as monstrous as Heavenly Fire, even a Heaven Origin Realm expert like Lei Ying felt a searing, burning pain in his flesh whenever he came into contact with it.

Consequently, amidst this high-intensity collision, Lin Yan seized an opportunity and landed a punch that sent Lei Ying stumbling backward.

Lei Ying retreated three or four steps before barely steadying himself. When he looked at Lin Yan again, his gaze had turned icy cold.

This boy must not be left alive!

He is only in the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm, yet he doesn't fall behind in the slightest when fighting me, a Heaven Origin Realm expert.

If I let him continue to grow, what will become of us?

He will surely become the greatest threat to my Lei Clan in the future!

Lei Ying let out an annoyed grunt, finally realizing just how terrifying Lin Yan's strength truly was.

"No way?"

"He's only in the late Earth Origin Realm, so how can even a Heaven Origin Realm expert fail to beat him?"

"Something isn't right, is it?"

Lei Shan, watching from behind, was left dumbfounded.

He had assumed that once Lei Ying, a Heaven Origin Realm expert, arrived, Lin Yan would be finished.

He never expected that not only would Lin Yan be fine, but he would actually be the one beating Lei Ying.

This made Lei Shan doubt reality. They were both in the late Earth Origin Realm, so why was Lin Yan's late Earth Origin Realm so frighteningly strong?

As expected of Brother Lin Yan.

A Heaven Origin Realm expert's strength is still far beyond mine.

I cannot go up to help; otherwise, if I reveal a flaw, I might end up harming Brother Lin Yan instead.

Sigh, I am still too weak. I can only rely on Brother Lin Yan now.

Lin Dong was also deeply shocked.

In truth, after dealing with the others, he had intended to go up and assist.

But after a quick glance, Lin Dong realized the opponent's strength far exceeded his own.

To rush in blindly would not only fail to help Lin Yan but would actually put him in danger.

Therefore, Lin Dong could only watch the battle from the sidelines.

On the other side.

After a brief moment of impotent rage, Lei Ying quickly prepared to launch another attack.

Having realized the immense potential Lin Yan possessed, he knew that for the sake of the Lei Clan, he had to kill him here at any cost.

"Stop!"

However, at that very moment, a deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out.

Then, just as Lei Ying was about to attack Lin Yan, a tall figure stepped directly in front of him.

Before Lei Ying's attack could land, the man threw a punch and sent him flying back.

"I told you to stop!"

This person was, naturally, Lin Xiao.

He and Lin Ken had both realized that Lei Ying had left, but this was, after all, the territory of the Lei Clan, and they were still being entangled by Lei Nuo on the side.

Therefore, the speed at which Lin Xiao and Lin Ken arrived at the scene was slightly slower.

Just moments ago, Lin Xiao and Lin Ken had seen the clash between Lin Yan and Lei Ying from afar, feeling both shocked and delighted. Seeing that Lei Ying was about to strike a lethal blow, they had rushed over immediately.

"Father."

Seeing this, Lin Dong immediately went up to meet them and called out to Lin Xiao.

"You brat, taking your brother Lin Yan to risk your lives like this—I'll deal with you later!" Lin Xiao glared fiercely at Lin Dong. After all, Lin Yan was not his own son, but the child of an old friend to whom he owed a debt of gratitude; he could neither hit nor scold him.

But Lin Dong was different; he could scold his own son as he pleased, so he was used as a vent for his frustration right now.

"Uncle Xiao, don't blame brother Lin Dong. After all, we were all held up by Lei Ying and Lei Nuo outside earlier. Besides, if we hadn't arrived in time, this Ironwood Manor might have been completely destroyed by the time we actually took it over."

Lin Yan spoke up to Lin Xiao.

He gestured for Lin Xiao to look around, and upon doing so, Lin Xiao quickly surveyed the surrounding environment, the coldness in his eyes turning even more frigid.

"No wonder the Lei Clan kept stalling; it turns out they were up to this, planning to pull the rug out from under us."

Lei Nuo and Lei Ying no longer bothered to put on an act.

After arriving at the scene, the former first blamed Lei Ying for failing to even take down Lin Yan.

Then, he snorted coldly at Lin Xiao: "Ironwood Manor is the result of my Lei Clan's years of hard work. You Lin Clan members want to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor? How could there be such a good deal?"

"Besides, we promised to give you Ironwood Manor, but we never said we would give it to you intact. We aren't afraid of anyone finding out about this."

However, Lei Nuo also knew that Ironwood Manor could not be kept today. He scanned the surroundings, seeing that everything that needed to be destroyed had been, and thinking that the mission was essentially complete, he led his men away.

Lin Xiao and Lin Ken both had gloomy expressions, but they had no reason to stop them. After all, blocking them now would be of no use and would only trigger an even greater conflict.

Everyone could only watch as the Lei Clan members departed. Afterward, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao let out bitter laughs: "Now that Father knows about this, he will likely be furious."

After letting out a sigh, the two quickly looked toward Lin Dong and Lin Yan.

Lin Xiao treated Lin Dong with his usual reprimand, as it had indeed been too dangerous just now: "You brat, why are you so reckless? Seeking merit and advancing blindly, leading your brother Lin Yan into danger!"

"If it weren't for your brother Lin Yan's great skill, both of you brothers would have fallen here today."

Lin Dong scratched his head in embarrassment upon hearing this. It was true; if brother Lin Yan hadn't displayed such might, they would indeed have been in great danger today.

Thus, Lin Dong did not retort, smiling awkwardly as he listened to Lin Xiao's scolding.

"Alright, alright, Third Brother, don't blame the children."

"If it weren't for them, this manor would have been completely ruined."

Lin Ken stepped in to smooth things over in time.

He then looked at Lin Yan with a gaze filled with delight: "Come to think of it, Lin Yan, your Uncle Xiao and I saw it with our own eyes just now."

"You fought Lei Ying to a standstill!"

"Could it be that you have also reached the Heaven Origin Realm?"
