After saying that, the middle-aged man's body swayed, turning into a wisp of green smoke, and he pounced towards Lin Yu, his long sword slicing through the air and slashing towards Lin Yu's neck.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yu gave a soft snort.
Boom!
Lin Yu's Lin Yu trembled violently, and a violent aura emanated from him, instantly covering his body with a layer of earth-yellow Gang Qi.
"Pfft!"
·Bang!
The longsword struck Lin Yu's earth-elemental Gang Qi, but was deflected.
Lin Yu's body swayed slightly, but he was not affected in the slightest.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged man frowned as he observed Lin Yu's change.
"Such a powerful earth elemental physique! It seems your physical strength is quite formidable." The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Are you from the Earth Clan?"
"Tu ethnicity? Haha~" Lin Yu laughed loudly, "You're quite knowledgeable, aren't you? You even figured out my identity."
"Your talent for cultivation is not bad, but your luck is bad. You just happened to run into me. Today, I will kill you here. Consider it your bad luck." The middle-aged man shouted coldly and charged at Lin Yu again. This time, he flicked his long sword, which transformed into three flying swords. Under his control, the three flying swords spun rapidly and attacked Lin Yu.
These three flying swords all contain terrifying power.
"Hmph, a mere trick, yet you dare to show off?" Lin Yu said indifferently, stomping his right foot slightly. A patch of earth exploded beneath his feet, and the three flying swords followed Lin Yu's movement, rapidly advancing towards him.
Bang!
Bang!
Whoosh!
An explosion rang out, and the three flying swords were blocked by earth-elemental Gang Qi, unable to advance even an inch.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yu with a solemn expression. "Your earth attribute cultivation is very profound. May I ask which Lineage you belong to?"
"I am indeed a disciple of the Tu tribe, but I have no special background," Lin Yu said calmly.
"Oh?" Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, a strange expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"Ignorance is no excuse. I see you cultivate earth-attribute techniques, which are quite compatible with our Heavenly Sword Sect. If you are willing to submit to us, you can receive some resources for training in the future. What do you think?" the middle-aged man said, his tone quite agreeable.
This middle-aged man didn't seem to be a truly bad person. He just saw that Lin Yu's cultivation method was quite compatible with the Heavenly Sword Sect and wanted to recruit Lin Yu Lin Yu as a disciple. After all, in the Immortal Realm, the Earth Clan was a very special existence. Their bodies were naturally earth-attribute cultivators, which was very helpful for cultivating earth-attribute techniques.
"I don't need anyone's charity. I think you know what I mean!" Lin Yu said calmly.
"Haha, you're certainly arrogant enough. I like people like you; this makes things fair. If you can withstand three of my sword strikes, I'll spare you this time."
"Three swords? Are you sure?"
Lin Yu looked at the man, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
The middle-aged man ignored Lin Yu, flicked his right hand, and the long sword in his hand transformed into three streams of light, slashing towards Lin Yu once again.
Each of these three longswords possesses extreme sharpness, as if it could cut through the air.
Lin Yu remained calm and unhurried, unleashing a surge of violent True Qi from both palms.
With a single palm strike, the earth elements in the air frantically converged towards him, forming a massive palm print, within which a dense wind attribute surged and undulated.
"Boom!"
The three longswords collided with Lin Yu's palm, unleashing a violent explosion.
The middle-aged man's longsword shattered inch by inch the moment it collided with Lin Yu's palm, as if subjected to immense pressure. The middle-aged man coughed up blood, staggered back several steps, and turned pale. Clearly, he was no match for Lin Yu.
"You, you, how do you have such power?" The middle-aged man's face was filled with horror.
"Why can't I have power?" Lin Yu asked jokingly.
"You're a disciple of the Tu tribe? Who exactly are you? Why have I never heard of you before!" The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yu with a solemn expression.
"A disciple of the Tu ethnic group? I've never said I'm a disciple of the Tu ethnic group," Lin Yu chuckled.
"You bastard, are you kidding me?" the middle-aged man roared in anger. "If you're not a disciple of the Tu tribe, then how do you explain the power you possess?"
Lin Yu shrugged and said calmly, "My cultivation technique is an earth-attribute technique. Would you like to try it out and see how powerful it is, and whether it can defeat me?"
Although Lin Yu did not use his full strength, he could still repel the middle-aged man even when he used 80% of his power. Now he just wanted to see just how capable the middle-aged man really was.
"Alright, I'll give it a try and see how powerful your technique is. It seems this disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect is no ordinary person." The middle-aged man sneered. "Since you're courting death, don't blame me! Three Swords Slash!"
The three sword strikes unleashed three sharp auras, each accompanied by a terrifying shockwave, hurtling straight toward Lin Yu.
The three longswords, each imbued with a destructive aura, moved with incredible speed, arriving before Lin Yu in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, such a trivial skill, yet you dare to show it off."
Seeing the three flying swords hurtling towards him, Lin Yu's face was full of disdain.
"Bang!"
Just then, Lin Yu's fist slammed straight out, and around his fist were shields formed from gray earth elemental energy, with a strong earth elemental aura emanating from them.
Thump!
The three flying swords slammed into the earth elemental shield that Lin Yu had conjured.
With a muffled thud, the three flying swords were actually blocked by the earth-attribute shield, and the three flying swords trembled continuously in the air.
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. "Earth Escape Technique!"
As he spoke, he suddenly retreated rapidly, as if preparing to flee.
"Trying to escape? Too late!" Lin Yu smiled coldly, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man, striking him squarely in the heart with a palm strike.
Thump!
The middle-aged man was blasted more than ten feet away by Lin Yu's palm strike, and then crashed heavily to the ground.
The middle-aged man kept spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in pain. He struggled to his feet, his eyes flashing with hatred.
"You, you demon!"
"Demon, I'm not! I'm a cultivator from the Earth Clan, the most outstanding Earth Clan cultivator in the Immortal Realm! You, you dare to hurt me! Just wait to be hunted down by my Lineage! Hmph!" This middle-aged man was clearly somewhat afraid of Lin Yu.
