Lin Yu injured the young man, then leaped away and sped off into the distance.
As Lin Yu injured the young man, the young man's companion arrived at full speed, crashing into the mountainside next to Lin Yu and being bounced back.
"How are you?" the young man's companion asked anxiously, his face turning ashen as he watched his companion being thrown back.
"Pfft..."
The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, his body trembling, his eyes filled with horror. He hadn't expected his companion's cultivation to be so weak, not even reaching the early stage of the Golden Core realm. His attack just now was his strongest move, and he had intended to die with him, but he never expected Lin Yu to be so powerful.
This young man was an exceptionally talented prodigy, a genius among geniuses. He originally thought his cultivation level was already very high, but after meeting Lin Yu, he realized that he was still too naive.
Lin Yu sneered, his figure blurring as he charged forward again. He knew he couldn't hold back anymore, otherwise he would definitely be captured. He had to kill them with one blow, otherwise he would have no way to escape!
Lin Yu struck down with his palm again, this time a purple flame mark appeared in his palm. This was a fifth-grade martial skill, Purple Flame Palm!
The Purple Flame Palm is a fifth-grade martial skill with terrifying power. However, because it belongs to the fire element, while Lin Yu's fire attribute power is ice attribute, its power is relatively weak. But Lin Yu's physical body is already comparable to a mid-level demon beast, and its physical strength is not inferior to Human Race experts of the same level, so he can use the Purple Flame Palm with ease.
A terrifying heat surged out, scorching the nearby grass.
Purple Flame Palm is a fifth-grade martial art, and Lin Yu has a physique with all five elements, making it even easier for him to cultivate, resulting in extremely powerful techniques.
Boom!
Lin Yu slapped the man with his palm.
The man's clothes were instantly burned away, his skin was scalded and bloody, and even his bones were clearly visible. A layer of black charcoal was burning on the surface of his skin, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell.
The man screamed in agony, but a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He knew that Lin Yu had crippled him. No matter how powerful Lin Yu was, once he reached the Golden Core stage, he would be able to control some rare and precious materials and restore his body to its original state. At that time, his cultivation would be restored to the late Golden Core stage, and he would have the strength to surpass the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
Although the man's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he was a freak with an extremely fast cultivation speed. Moreover, he possessed an incredibly heaven-defying talent, enabling him to cultivate a miraculous secret technique of unparalleled talent.
All of this stemmed from the man's innate ability, passed down from his Lineage. It was their Lineage's secret to survival, accumulated over hundreds of years, and represented their Lineage 'Lineage hope. Unfortunately, it had already perished in the generation of his father's son.
Lin Yu frowned upon seeing this; it seemed the other person was also a freak.
"Boy, I'm not only going to kill you, I'm going to dig out your body and use your corpse to make puppets!" the man sneered.
"Then give it a try!"
Lin Yu sneered and lunged forward again, attacking the young man.
Rumble~~
The two fought fiercely, the ground was blasted apart, dust flew everywhere, and trees were broken one after another.
The battle lasted for a full half-incense stick's time. Lin Yu and the young man fought for more than ten moves without a clear winner. Lin Yu could only keep dodging.
That young man was also a ruthless character. Seeing Lin Yu dodge, he did not give up and kept chasing after Lin Yu until evening when he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. After all, Lin Yu's speed was too fast, and it was difficult for him to catch up with Lin Yu.
"Hey kid, run! Why aren't you running anymore?" the young man sneered.
Lin Yu glanced at the young man and said indifferently, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, he flicked the Frost Sun Spear in his hand, and a flash of cold light shot out, transforming into an ice dragon that shot towards the young man!
Ah!
The young man was pierced through the chest by the icy dragon. His body was torn to pieces by the dragon's penetration, blood splattered all over the ground, and his body turned into a pile of ashes.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yu leaped up and landed on a tree trunk in the distance.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from afar, and a huge mountain was rolling down towards them. Lin Yu's divine sense scanned and saw black dots rapidly approaching him.
"What are these things?" Lin Yu looked at the black dots with a solemn expression. They were a swarm of black ants, about a foot in size, all black, with a foul odor, wings, and scales covering their bodies. Their eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, making them a terrifying sight.
"Could they be poisonous ants?" Lin Yu's heart sank. The venom of poisonous ants was extremely potent, capable of corroding any cultivator below the Golden Core stage. Even a Golden Core cultivator would die instantly if sprayed with the venom. These poisonous ants were numerous, densely packed, numbering in the thousands. Even an Nascent Soul Early Stage expert would be instantly killed upon encountering them, and even a Nascent Soul Late Stage expert would find them a headache.
"Oh my god!" Lin Yu's expression changed. Although he possessed the power of the Five Elements, this was only his second time entering this world, and he didn't know much about it, so he didn't know what dangers might exist here. Under these circumstances, Lin Yu was hesitant to act rashly.
"These are poisonous ants. These ants are at least at the peak of the early Golden Core stage, and they are one of the overlords of this forest. Only a powerhouse at the peak of the mid-Golden Core stage can tame them." An old woman's voice suddenly echoed in Lin Yu's mind.
"A cultivator at the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm? There are actually poisonous ants at the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm here? Has the environment here become so dangerous?" Lin Yu was secretly astonished.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from afar, and a huge green snake rushed over. It was ten feet long, covered with a layer of green scales, with horns on its head, wings on its back, and its body in the shape of an inverted triangle. Its tail was three inches thick and lashed out like a whip. A gust of wind howled across the land, blowing sand and gravel everywhere. The green snake, like a locomotive, rushed towards Lin Yu at high speed.
This green snake possessed an extremely powerful aura, clearly indicating it was a venomous insect at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet it already had the cultivation of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.
"What is this? It's a venomous snake! This forest is truly eerie; venomous snakes are everywhere, and this one's cultivation is even stronger than that of a Golden Core stage demon beast. My divine sense can't detect it at all. If I hadn't defeated it with my Heavenly Thunder Slash just now, I might already be its meal."
