"Courting death!"
Lin Changsheng's gaze turned cold. He reached out and grabbed the stone courtyard wall, crushing a brick in his hand. With a flick, the shattered stones shot forth!
Infused with the force of a First-Rate Master, the fragments flew like sharp arrows in the formation of Nine Stars Linked, colliding with the flying daggers and instantly throwing the purple-robed youth's aim off!
They shot into the courtyard wall on the other side!
The flying dagger contained fierce, enormous force, and that wall exploded with a boom!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"Urgh!"
A chorus of miserable screams rang through the night sky!
The stones in Lin Changsheng's hand flew in the formation of Nine Stars Linked, some curving, others striking from bizarre and tricky angles. Seven or eight Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists and weaker men were struck in the throats and eyes, collapsing one after another. Their legs twitched a few times before they breathed their last.
Three of them had stones shoot into their eye sockets, the powerful force bursting their heads apart!
The youth wielding the flying daggers was a Second-Rate Expert Realm martial artist. A stone carrying Lin Changsheng's force struck his knee, instantly shattering the kneecap. He dropped to his knees, his expression changing drastically!
Having advanced into the First-Rate Expert Realm,
internal force could be projected outward. Picking leaves and scattering flowers could kill a man from several yards away!
What was more, Lin Changsheng's experience in the First-Class Realm had already exceeded eight thousand, equivalent to the late stage of a First-Rate Master. With the curving hidden weapons of Nine Stars Linked, no matter how many Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists came, they would only die!
"What? He hid his cultivation? He's a First-Rate Master?"
"My heavens! A single strike blew apart a head! We misjudged him!"
"..."
Seeing that Lin Changsheng was only seventeen or eighteen, yet erupted with the aura of a First-Rate Master, and that his flicked hidden weapons were blowing apart the heads of Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists, the many black-clad men were utterly shocked and retreated several yards.
Quite a few even began to entertain thoughts of retreat.
"I never expected Your Excellency to advance into the First-Class Realm at such a young age! I, Surging Waves Lightning Blade, truly misjudged you!"
At that moment, a broad, powerfully built middle-aged man carrying a long saber stepped forward. A formidable aura emanated from him—he was unmistakably a First-Rate Master.
This man was a saber wielder from Southern Min, Surging Waves Lightning Blade—Zhong Ling!
With his Six Life-Slaying Slashes, he had defeated an unknown number of martial world experts!
"Brother Zhong, to ensure nothing goes wrong, you and I should join forces to kill him!"
At that moment, a tall middle-aged man in brocade robes stepped forward with a sword in hand. His powerful aura locked onto Lin Changsheng as he spoke again. "The rest of you, go kill that woman!"
This man was another First-Rate Master, the eldest of the Minnan Five Tigers—Situ Zhan!
"Brother Situ, that would be excellent!"
Surging Waves Lightning Blade Zhong Ling nodded, his powerful aura locking onto Lin Changsheng.
"Wait!"
Just then, a woman's clear shout rang out. The doors to Lin Changsheng's home opened, and a graceful young woman in a cloth dress slowly walked out. She was pure and beautiful, and a flash of anger crossed her face as she looked at the many martial men and said coldly, "Your target is me. He has nothing to do with this. Come at me, all of you!"
The one who appeared before everyone was Yu Wenjing.
At that moment, a hint of Sha Qi surfaced on Yu Wenjing's exquisite face!
She held an Emerald Hairpin in her hand, one of her two hairpins!
"It really is her!"
"..."
When they saw Yu Wenjing appear, the eyes of the many martial men lit up.
As long as they killed the woman before them, they would render a great service and enjoy inexhaustible glory, wealth, and splendor in the future!
At the very least, they would receive a generous reward!
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
At the critical moment, Lin Changsheng unleashed his Perfect Stage Flying Eaves Lightness Skill, drew his bow and nocked arrows. Nine Stars Linked followed in one fluid motion!
Since he had made his move, he had to kill them all!
Nine feathered arrows containing the force of a First-Rate Master shot toward Situ Zhan, the tall man in brocade robes, from nine directions!
His eyes, throat, beneath both ribs, heart, both legs, and perineal acupoint—nine positions were locked onto!
"You! How dare you!"
Situ Zhan let out a furious roar. He had never expected that, despite being so cautious and not even standing closest to the youth, he would still become the target!
All nine arrows contained the force of a First-Rate Master, each arrow sharper than the last!
They were as swift as flashes of lightning and sparks from flint!
They covered the nine vital points across his body!
Their angles were so tricky that they were impossible to guard against!
"Thousand-Overlapping Waves!!"
A life-and-death crisis enveloped him, and Situ Zhan's pupils abruptly constricted. His First-Class Realm cultivation surged as his longsword left its sheath. A five-foot Sword Qi swept forth, stirring layer upon layer of majestic sword-energy curtains like overlapping waves as he tried to block Lin Changsheng's nine linked arrows!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pff! Pff! Pff!
Nine Stars Linked instantly crashed against Situ Zhan's Thousand-Overlapping Waves, exploding into violent shockwaves of force that swept across several yards. The surrounding Second-Rate Expert Realm and Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists were blasted backward several yards!
Even Zhong Ling's expression changed as he retreated several steps!
Situ Zhan's Thousand-Overlapping Waves sword technique blocked six arrows, but three slipped through!
They pierced both knees and his perineal acupoint!
Though it seemed like a long sequence of events, it all happened in the span of lightning and sparks!
"Aaaah!!!"
Situ Zhan stared in disbelief at the arrows in his knees and crotch, letting out a roar like a pig being slaughtered.
His legs were ruined, and the symbol of his manhood was ruined. He could not accept it!
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!"
"You little bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
"..."
When the remaining four of the Minnan Five Tigers saw their eldest brother injured, their eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Like mad tigers, they charged forward with swords raised!
At the same time.
"Six Life-Slaying Slashes!"
Seeing this, Zhong Ling's eyes revealed wariness. His body flashed diagonally aside, and with a sweep of his long saber, he abandoned Lin Changsheng. Yet a translucent five-foot saber aura slashed toward Yu Wenjing!
He intended to kill the target with the speed of thunder before one could cover one's ears, then retreat immediately after completing the mission!
Pfft!
At that moment, a streak of emerald-green light flashed past!
"Ah!"
The First-Rate Master Zhong Ling stared at Yu Wenjing in disbelief. Blood erupted from his chest where the green light had pierced straight through. His eyes filled with unwillingness as he crashed to the ground!
At that moment.
Yu Wenjing's pretty face was pale as paper, and her black hair flew wildly!
Yet the green hairpin in her hand gave off an eerie, razor-sharp aura!!
At that moment.
The remaining four of the Minnan Five Tigers charged toward Lin Changsheng.
"Die!"
Lin Changsheng circulated the fifth level of the Golden Bell Shield. A faint yellow glow flickered over his entire body as he flashed forward, appearing beside the second tiger, who was closest to him. His Iron Sand Palm struck down on the man's head!
Crack!
The second tiger of Minnan's brains burst apart. Lin Changsheng then rushed toward the other tigers, his Perfect Stage Iron Sand Palm striking again and again!
With his First-Rate Master cultivation and the fifth level of the Golden Bell Shield, killing several Second-Rate Expert Realm martial artists was nothing but child's play. Like smashing watermelons, he killed one with each palm. In less than a few breaths, all five tigers, including the still-living eldest tiger Situ Zhan, had perished!
At that moment, Yu Wenjing held the Emerald Hairpin and released a yard-long green radiance. It instantly swept across Violet Lightning Flying Dagger and the remaining Second-Rate Expert Realm and Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists!
Wherever it passed, no one could resist. All were cut in two at the waist, incomparably sharp!
Miserable screams rang through the night sky!
The forty or fifty Third-Rate Fighter Realm martial artists who stood farther away and had already considered fleeing scattered in all directions and ran!
"Since you came, stay behind, all of you!!"
Lin Changsheng's gaze chilled. He grabbed a stone and crushed it into fragments, then unleashed his Flying Eaves Lightness Skill to pursue them!
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Lin Changsheng's Nine Stars Linked hidden weapons seemed to have grown eyes. They blew apart the heads of those who had fled the farthest, then killed those closer by!
Before long.
The entire scene fell silent, with nearly a hundred corpses left behind!
"Wenjing! Are you all right?"
After killing every attacker, Lin Changsheng discovered that Yu Wenjing had fallen to the ground. He immediately stepped forward to check on her.
"Changsheng, I'm all right. I'm just a little weak. Are you hurt? I dragged you into this!"
"Don't worry. I'll definitely compensate you properly!"
Yu Wenjing lay in Lin Changsheng's arms, her beautiful eyes filled with deep guilt.
"I'm perfectly fine. It's nothing."
Lin Changsheng helped Yu Wenjing up and said, "I'll help you inside to rest first. Then I'll clean up the battlefield."
Lin Changsheng was looking forward to it greatly.
With nearly a hundred people here, there had to be some gains, right?
