Terrifying Strength

"Who is this man?"

"Flying through the air? What terrifying strength!"

"Could he be a legendary supreme expert at the Peak Golden Core Stage? Flying through the air seems to be something only those at the Peak Golden Core can do!"

"Impossible! Among the forces around Flame City, you could probably count everyone at that level on one hand!"

"Besides, he looks so young! Those few Peak Golden Cores are all old monsters. There's absolutely no way!"

Lin Yu's appearance immediately sparked waves of astonished murmurs.

This man actually seemed even stronger than Li Yuan!

As far as these people could sense, Lin Yu bore no trace of a cultivator's presence.

Yet the way he had appeared and the words he had spoken showed that he was no ordinary figure!

No one but a fool would take him for an ordinary person.

"Look, he seems to be on the Lin Household and Su Household's side!"

By then, some sharp-eyed cultivators had already noticed.

Ever since Lin Yu appeared, Li Yuan seemed to have been unable to move!

"Brother Su, do you know this man?"

The pressure on him abruptly lifted. Lin Tian let out a long breath, then turned to Su Zhiyuan and asked in confusion.

Lin Yu had already changed his clothes.

After transmigrating this time, Lin Yu discovered that all his possessions from his previous life had come into this life along with his immortal abode.

This immortal abode was a space Lin Yu had created himself, which he could enter and leave at will.

Except for living creatures such as the immortal beasts Lin Yu had once subdued.

Every other item had been preserved intact!

The clothes from before were truly uncomfortable, so Lin Yu had changed into an outfit he usually wore.

Moreover, his appearance and bearing were now very different from those of the Qi Refining Stage youth he had been before.

Thus, even Lin Tian failed to recognize him, sensing only a vague familiarity.

"I don't know, but judging by the situation, he should be on our side..."

Su Zhiyuan's face was likewise filled with confusion and shock.

Li Yuan breaking through to the Golden Core Stage today and crushing them single-handedly had already shocked them beyond measure.

Yet the strength of the person standing here now seemed to far surpass even Li Yuan's!

For a moment, both Su Zhiyuan and Lin Tian felt somewhat dazed.

Since when had Golden Core experts become as common as cabbages?

Fortunately, this mysterious expert did indeed seem to be on their side.

"Quick, elders, hurry and rescue Little Yu and Little Ying! Don't let anything happen to them!"

With the pressure lifted, Lin Tian immediately remembered Lin Yu and Su Ying, who had fled earlier.

Li Yuan had not brought many people here. Presumably, the rest were pursuing the fleeing children of the Lin Household.

Lin Yu and Su Ying, in particular, were bound to be their targets!

"The Su Household's people should already be nearby providing support too!"

Su Zhiyuan nodded as he spoke. Lin Yu's appearance had greatly lifted his spirits as well.

"Understood! We'll go right now!" Several elders agreed, splitting into two groups and heading into the distance.

The most urgent task was to locate Lin Yu and Su Ying!

Little Yu, please, nothing must happen to you...

Lin Tian sighed inwardly, clenching his fists as a trace of helplessness welled up in his chest.

If he could have broken through to the Golden Core realm himself, he would not now have to rely on this outsider of unknown origins to save his Lineage...

The situation was changing in the blink of an eye. As the household head, Lin Tian dared not leave rashly.

Both Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan watched the young figure before them nervously.

Unlike the shock Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan felt.

At that moment, Li Yuan's expression was exceedingly ugly, as though he had seen a ghost.

"May I ask who you... no, may I ask who you are, Senior..."

Li Yuan forced those words out of his mouth with difficulty.

Every word he spoke now required all his strength.

He felt an immensely powerful pressure coming from Lin Yu!

Li Yuan could sense that if this pressure grew even a fraction stronger, all the meridians in his body would probably rupture, crippling his cultivation completely!

Not only that, Li Yuan also discovered to his horror that the other man did not seem to be using his full strength at all!

He looked as relaxed as if he were sightseeing!

How strong is he?

The Peak Golden Core?

Or a legendary peerless Nascent Soul expert?

Li Yuan dared not think any further.

He could not even summon the slightest thought of resistance.

Crushing him to death would be as easy for the other man as crushing an ant.

How could the Lin Household have an expert of this realm helping them?

Li Yuan's heart felt so stifled that panic set in.

He was absolutely certain that Lin Tian, at peak Foundation Establishment, was the Lin Household's strongest expert!

Otherwise, he would never have dared attack so rashly!

The man before him was definitely not a member of the Lin Household!

"Senior, may I ask... what benefits has the Lin Household promised you?"

Seeing that Lin Yu had not answered his earlier question, Li Yuan's eyes shifted, and he continued probing.

If this man isn't from the Lin Household, perhaps...

It might even be possible to make him switch sides in battle!

"Whatever benefits the Lin Household offered, my Li Household and the Yin Mystic Sect... are willing to give you three times as much!"

"Please show mercy, Senior!" Li Yuan said earnestly.

As long as I can persuade this man.

Today will still be the end of the Lin Household and Su Household!

At those words, however, Lin Tian's and Su Zhiyuan's expressions instantly changed.

Spiritual power surged out of them as they guarded against any possible turn of events!

Both Lin Tian and Su Zhiyuan knew perfectly well that they had not invited this man here.

As for offering him benefits, that was even more absurd.

Although this man appeared to be on their side.

That did not mean he would not be tempted by Li Yuan's offer!

If this man switched sides in battle...

Fear welled up in both Lin Tian's and Su Zhiyuan's hearts.

Li Yuan alone had already driven both the Lin Household and Su Household into a dead end!

If this mysterious expert, whose level they could not even determine, joined him...

Their Lin Household and Su Household would probably truly fall into eternal damnation!

"Oh? Three times the benefits?"

"That offer of yours is rather enticing."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

Hearing that, Li Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy.

Sure enough, with enough money, you could make the millstone turn the ghost!

Meanwhile, Lin Tian's and Su Zhiyuan's faces instantly turned ashen!

Could Heaven truly intend to destroy our Lin Household and Su Household?

A trace of resolve appeared on both their faces.

They were ready to burn their souls again at any moment!

No matter what, they had to buy Lin Yu and Su Ying even one more second to escape!

"S-Senior, please release the restraint on me first..."

"Once we've dealt with the Lin Household and Su Household, I'll make sure the payment satisfies you..."

Li Yuan gave a sheepish laugh. Even now, he still could not move his body.

"All right."

The corners of Lin Yu's lips lifted slightly. He extended his right hand and gently closed it.

Hearing Lin Yu agree, Li Yuan also smiled.

"Thank you, Senior... Aaaah!!!!!"

Yet in the very next second, Li Yuan suddenly roared in agony!

The expression on his face twisted hideously as well!

In a single instant, Lin Yu had brutally twisted apart both of Li Yuan's arms and legs!

At that moment, deathly silence fell over the entire scene.

Only Li Yuan's utterly wretched howls drifted on the wind.
