Starting as the First Seat, I'll Sign In to an Ultimate Emperor Armament!

The entire Qingyang Town was practically wiped out!

Blood flowed like rivers, bodies piled up like mountains, and severed limbs were everywhere.

Even children's heads were strung together by the brutal bandits and waved around in their hands, their faces twisted into sinister smiles.

The rampant bandits, roaring with laughter, slaughtered indiscriminately, and more and more people fell beneath their blades!

They were all cultivators, and their leader was a cultivator in the Violet Palace Realm.

The strongest cultivator in Qingyang Town was the old patriarch of the Lin family, but he only had a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm.

The moment the bandits stormed into Qingyang Town, the old patriarch of the Lin family was summoned to suppress them.

However, as soon as he appeared, he was attacked and killed by the bandit leader, dying gruesomely on the spot.

His corpse was even completely devoured by the bandit leader's mount.

These bandits were clearly well-prepared and had already thoroughly scouted Qingyang Town's strength!

After the death of the old Lin family patriarch, his family bore the brunt of the attack and was brutally purged by the bandits. Less than one in ten of them survived!

"Pfft!"

A young man in white, stained with blood, stumbled forward, a treasured sword in his hand, cutting through the crowd!

He was the last descendant of the Lin family...

And the foremost genius of Qingyang Town!

In yesterday's Qingyang Town Grand Competition, the young geniuses of several families sparred with each other, and he ultimately took the top spot.

Before he could even celebrate, the entire Qingyang Town was suddenly struck by this great disaster.

His grandfather was killed, his parents died tragically, and his sister's whereabouts were unknown. All of it nearly drove him mad.

He charged recklessly into the bandits, swinging his sword with all his might, determined to kill as many as possible and avenge his family.

But he was too weak!

Soon, he was heavily injured and collapsed, unable to get up again.

"Lin Yang!"

A young woman rushed over. She was the young man's childhood sweetheart, the daughter of the head of another prominent family in Qingyang Town, the Mu family.

Seeing Lin Yang in danger, she desperately rushed towards him.

But...

Slash!

Her arm was severed by a bandit. Then, she was grabbed by her hair and forced to the ground.

A group of bandits immediately swarmed around her!

Right before Lin Yang's eyes, their clothes were torn off one by one!

"Qingqing!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Backer Sect Needs Talents Like This

Lin Yang cried out in anguish, his eyes bulging with rage.

The two were childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship, yet he could only watch as she was humiliated!

"No!!"

Lin Yang struggled desperately. With strength he didn't know he possessed, he actually managed to stand up!

He staggered, gripping his broken ceremonial sword, and charged forward without regard for his own life.

Mu Qingqing struggled, forcing her head to turn: "Lin Yang, hurry... escape..."

She couldn't bear to watch Lin Yang throw his life away.

Even if she were to suffer humiliation, as long as Lin Yang could live, that would be enough.

The Mu family was already destroyed, and there was no point in her living alone.

It was better to sacrifice herself to save the person she secretly loved, leaving no regrets.

Tears streamed from Mu Qingqing's eyes as she saw Lin Yang being trampled underfoot by the bandits once more!

"Qingqing..."

Lin Yang lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, looking at the tormented Mu Qingqing. The scenes of his parents' deaths flashed through his mind.

Lin Yang's rage reached an unprecedented peak!

Boom!

A surge of immense power suddenly erupted from his abdomen, and intense lightning coursed through his entire body. The bandit at the Vein Opening Realm who was stepping on him was instantly sent flying.

While still in mid-air, his leg was grabbed by Lin Yang and slammed violently onto the ground, causing the earth to crack and collapse.

"Spare... spare me!"

The bandit coughed up blood and begged for mercy, his unfocused eyes reflecting Lin Yang's face.

Lin Yang was surrounded by crackling electricity, hundreds of lightning snakes coiling around his body.

His hair stood on end, his eyes blazed with blue light, and a lightning rune appeared on his forehead!

Crack!

Lin Yang stomped on a bandit, then transformed into a bolt of blue lightning, charging towards Mu Qiuxue!

The three bandits who had been bullying Mu Qiuxue also noticed the anomaly. They immediately rushed towards Lin Yang.

"Ah, a little too late."

By the time he arrived, only Lin Yang and Mu Qiuxue remained in the town; everyone else had fallen victim to the blade.

If he had arrived earlier, he might have been able to save them.

His gaze was then drawn to Lin Yang.

"He actually possesses the Thunder Battle Physique... This kid... we should recruit him into the sect. He'll definitely become a pillar of the sect in the future!" Hua Yunfei thought to himself.

Lin Yang's talent was exceptional, Dao Grade, Top-tier. If he survived, he would at least become a cultivator at the Approaching Dao Realm!

The Backer Sect needed talents like him!

Furthermore, possessing a special physique like the Thunder Battle Physique, his talent and combat power would far surpass those of others at the same level.

It was a shame, though, that Lin Yang's Thunder Battle Physique, like Mu Qiuxue's Shadow Spirit Body, was incomplete.

However, his situation was slightly better, with less severe damage.

There was hope for him to restore his origin!

Thus, the origin of his battle physique had suddenly awakened, unleashing unimaginable power.

But... this was only temporary power, and it would soon disappear.

"What a shame, if only he was a bit higher, he would meet the requirements," Hua Yunfei shook his head regretfully.

The gap between Dao Grade, Top-tier talent and Saint Grade, Low-tier talent was minuscule, but the actual difference was enormous.

Without reaching Sainthood, one remained mortal!

As Lin Yang unleashed the power of his Thunder Battle Physique, he commanded lightning, with electric snakes raging around him, exuding a wild power!

The three bandits who had been restraining Mu Qiuxue had just charged forward when Lin Yang's fist pierced their chests, killing them instantly!
