"Heh, Nascent Soul Middle Stage? Do you think he's a match for me? I'm a disciple of a hidden sect, while you're just a cultivator, and not even a direct disciple," Lin Yu laughed.
"You are a disciple of a hidden sect, but I am also a disciple of the Cloud Soaring Sect, and my master is Yun Feng, the grandson of the Cloud Soaring Sect's leader! Yun Feng's strength is no weaker than yours!" the young man sneered. He thought Lin Yu was afraid, so he became bolder, feeling that this gave him confidence.
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know any of your masters, and I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you now. I'll give you one last chance. What exactly happened that night?"
"That day I led several hundred men to search the Cloud Mist Forest, but we were killed by the monsters there, and they also stole a lot of treasures!" the young man said. "However, you also stole quite a few good things from me!"
"It was only right of me to kill you! Besides, you've killed quite a few people too, so let's settle this score!" Lin Yu said.
"We're even? Ha! You killed me, so all we'll have left is a blood feud!" the young man sneered.
"So you're refusing a polite toast only to suffer the consequences!" Lin Yu said with a dark expression, then waved his hand, and a bolt of purple lightning shot out from his palm, heading straight for the young man's head.
This purple lightning bolt was Lin Yu's Divine Tribulation Lightning, specifically designed to target Nascent Soul Cultivator. Once it struck Nascent Soul Cultivator, it could instantly annihilate them.
The young man was terrified when he saw the purple lightning striking him, but it was too late for him to dodge. The purple lightning flashed and pierced his head, turning him into a sieve.
"Bang!"
A body exploded, spraying blood everywhere.
Lin Yu withdrew the lightning, stood up, and walked deeper into the cave.
Deep inside the cave, there is a stone tablet with the words "Trespassing is Prohibited" written on it. There are stripes on the tablet that look like runes.
Lin Yu paused in front of the stone tablet, observed it carefully for a while, and then picked it up.
The stone tablet was nothing unusual; it was just an ordinary stone, and a broken jade slip at that. It looked rather dilapidated, with many gaps on it, as if some kind of magical artifact had been damaged or some treasure had been destroyed.
Lin Yu used his divine sense to examine the jade slip, only to discover that it was actually a jade slip containing cultivation techniques and spells, with many techniques recorded on it.
"Hmm, this really is a treasure!" Lin Yu became somewhat excited.
He tossed the jade slip aside and headed deeper into the cave.
Lin Yu encountered two more groups of people along the way. Both groups were cultivators who practiced evil techniques. The strongest among them was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. However, their methods were very strange, especially their magical artifacts, which were extremely powerful and difficult to defend against. However, Lin Yu's armor had high defensive capabilities, so he was not afraid of their attacks.
Lin Yu also stored the corpses of these evil cultivators in his storage ring. He planned to refine them into puppets when he had the chance, which would increase his strength. In addition, he also had many pills that could improve their cultivation.
There was a chilly aura about this place, but Lin Yu didn't sense any danger. He walked into the valley and walked for a long time before finally reaching the end of the valley.
This valley was much wider than the previous one, but Lin Yu still felt it was somewhat narrow because he didn't see a single living person here.
Lin Yu didn't rush to the next destination. After all, this valley seemed to have many dangers, and he had to be careful, otherwise he could easily perish here.
Lin Yu expanded his divine sense and searched carefully, but still found nothing unusual.
Suddenly, he sensed someone rushing towards him from a distance. He quickly turned around and saw a man and a woman running at high speed.
Both of them had low cultivation levels, but both had reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm. The woman's cultivation level was significantly higher than the young man's, while the man's cultivation level was even higher than Lin Yu's, having reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, making him much more powerful than the young man.
"Hmph, let's see where you can escape to!" A smile appeared on Lin Yu's lips. He knew that the man and the woman had witnessed his battle. Now that they had seen Lin Yu, they would definitely rush to his aid. He only needed to intercept them for a moment, and then he could easily kill them and take the man and the woman hostage.
Lin Yu dashed forward in a flash, simultaneously clenching his right fist and unleashing a powerful punch.
This punch was a fifth-grade fist technique, and Lin Yu unleashed his full strength. Although he couldn't unleash the full potential of this fist technique at its peak, he could still demonstrate eight-tenths of its power, making it incredibly terrifying.
When the young man saw Lin Yu suddenly appear in front of him, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end and his face turned pale. He knew that he was really going to die this time. He quickly took out a formation flag, crushed it, and a cloud of white mist enveloped him.
The white mist dissipated, and Lin Yu looked at the man who appeared before him. He found that the man had delicate features, but he exuded a kind of viciousness, and was clearly a narrow-minded person.
Lin Yu sneered inwardly.
When the young man saw Lin Yu staring at him, he panicked and quickly took several steps back, while simultaneously summoning a flying sword and slashing it at Lin Yu.
His sword light was dazzling, like a bolt of lightning slicing through the void as it slashed towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu snorted coldly, his figure drifting backward to avoid the slash. At the same time, he threw a punch, a violent fist energy slamming towards the youth.
The young man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly produced a yellow talisman to shield himself.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Yu's fist slammed heavily onto the talisman, causing it to explode into countless fragments.
The young man was forced back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Yu moved swiftly and appeared in front of the young man, raising his leg to kick him squarely in the abdomen.
The young man screamed, spitting out another mouthful of blood. He then collapsed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, spraying blood that stained the ground red.
"Kid, you're asking for it!" The young man got up from the ground, staring at Lin Yu with a ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes.
"Hmph, you're the one courting death, I'm just teaching you a lesson!" Lin Yu snorted coldly and stepped towards the young man's chest.
The young man hurriedly circulated his internal energy to resist Lin Yu's kick, but Lin Yu's kick was too fast, giving him no time to react before landing on his chest.
"Pfft!"
The young man's sternum was shattered, three of his ribs were broken, and his heart was crushed by Lin Yu. His body was also sent flying, crashing heavily into the mountainside and embedding itself into it.
