"Tu ethnic group, huh? In your eyes, the Tu ethnic group must be the most powerful race. I'd like to see just how powerful your Lineage really is." Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Kid, you're ruthless. You are indeed stronger than our Tu clan, but your Lineage is just a remote village in the Immortal Realm, with absolutely no status." The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.
"I don't really know how many Earth Clans there are in our Immortal Realm, but I do know of at least twelve. One of them is called the Earth Clan. I'm quite curious, what is the origin of your Lineage?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
"My Lineage is none of your concern." The middle-aged man sneered. "In short, you've angered me this time, and your good days are over. Once our Tu Lineage's experts arrive, you can expect to be crushed by them."
The middle-aged man's face was grim.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled.
"Haha, your Lineage? I really have no interest. I've seen far too many Lineage like yours. In the Immortal Realm, Lineage like yours are extremely rare, not even worth my attention. If you want to challenge me, feel free to come. However, I advise you to consider whether you can bear my wrath." Lin Yu looked at the middle-aged man coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid.
Lin Yu's ability to defeat his companions meant his strength far exceeded his expectations; that move just now fully demonstrated this—it was a true offensive technique.
"Hmph, I won't bother with you. We Tu people never stoop to the level of lowly humans. You can leave now." The middle-aged man glanced coldly at Lin Yu, then turned and disappeared into the night.
Lin Yu watched the middle-aged man disappear into the darkness, his brows furrowing slightly. He thought to himself, "This middle-aged man seems a bit strange. Unlike typical cultivators from the Immortal Realm who become stronger when facing stronger opponents and weaker when facing weaker ones, he seems rather timid. Could it be that..."
He shook his head, not giving it much thought.
Whew~
Just then, Lin Yu suddenly felt a tremendous suction force coming from him.
"Oh no! There's a demonic beast here, and this one is quite powerful. I haven't even gone in yet, and I've already been locked onto by it."
Lin Yu sensed something was wrong and quickly activated his Divine Dragon Wings, speeding away into the distance.
He knew that now was not the time to think about himself; he should save his life first. As for the rest, he would leave it to the demon beast to deal with. In any case, this demon beast was just an ordinary seven-star demon beast and did not pose much of a threat to Lin Yu.
Whew~
Just then, a gust of wind howled, and then an enormous figure rushed out of the valley beside them. This monster was a hundred meters long, its body was as black as ink, covered with scales, its wings spread wide enough to blot out the sky, and its eyes emitted a cold light.
Lin Yu glanced at it and felt a dark cloud hang over his mind. He was shocked to find that this demonic beast was much stronger than him, at least at the Golden Core stage, and a very powerful one at that. It was stronger than the middle-aged man, and even a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage would not be its match.
"Hiss~" Lin Yu gasped.
He knew he was no match for the beast and had to avoid it for now, leaving this dangerous place.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yu immediately used a concealment spell, teleporting thousands of meters away.
"Rumble~"
Just then, the monster charged over, its enormous claws suddenly lashing out, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that swept in all directions, the force of which seemed capable of tearing apart the void.
The storm was so powerful that it could easily tear apart space itself; if Lin Yu were caught in it, he would surely die.
Just then, a streak of azure light pierced the sky and intercepted the storm.
"Pfft!"
Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.
Lin Yu looked up and saw that all the trees in front of him were broken, and two ravines hundreds of feet long were left on the ground.
Hiss~
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp. The power of this attack was simply astonishing. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been turned into a pile of minced meat long ago.
"Such terrifying strength," Lin Yu thought in horror.
"Boy, who are you? Why are you stopping me from killing him?" The monster's gaze locked onto Lin Yu, its icy eyes like sharp knives, piercing Lin Yu's bones.
Lin Yu was secretly surprised. The other party actually recognized him. Just what level of demon beast was this, that it knew who he was?
"What kind of monster are you?" Lin Yu asked.
"Roar!"
The monster let out a low growl, then slammed out another claw.
A yellowish-brown light erupted from Lin Yu's body as he activated his earth-elemental power. Instantly, a thick earthen wall enveloped Lin Yu's body.
Boom!
"Pfft!"
Lin Yu's body was sent flying by a claw strike, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
"Hmm? What is this?" The demonic beast looked at its claws, its brows furrowing slightly. Although its claws had grasped Lin Yu's body, it hadn't used much force. Moreover, Lin Yu's defenses didn't seem to be ordinary earth-type magic treasures. Its grab hadn't shattered Lin Yu's body.
"Roar!"
The monster roared again and pounced once more.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yu let out a cold shout, and then directly used the "Five Elements Escape Technique".
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The Five Elements Escape Technique erupted instantly, and Lin Yu's speed was astonishing; he disappeared from his spot in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape?" The monster snorted coldly, flapped its wings, and a powerful gust of wind swept over.
Wherever the gale reached, the void collapsed, and mountain peaks were shredded by the gale.
This demonic beast was extremely powerful. Even though Lin Yu used the Five Elements Escape Technique, he was still a step slower. A loud roar was heard, and a gale swept past as Lin Yu's body crashed directly into a tree that was hundreds of feet tall.
"Pfft~"
Lin Yu spat out another mouthful of blood, and patches of bright red bruises appeared on his skin. Even Lin Yu's physical body was riddled with holes by the gale.
Hiss~
Seeing Lin Yu's severely injured state, a hint of doubt finally flashed in the eyes of the demon beast.
