Yan Lie was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it when Situ Jiannan spoke up, immediately becoming his target.
With a tremor of soul power from the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm, Situ Jiannan, who was only at the Samsara Realm, was instantly injured in the soul and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Lin Heng Lin Heng's expression instantly turned cold, and a violent killing intent erupted from his body.
'boom!'
A murderous aura surged into the sky, and Lin Heng's blood-red eyes instantly locked onto Yan Lie.
Since Situ Jiannan started following Lin Heng, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. It is precisely because of his dedication that Lin Heng was able to put aside such a large operation as Battle Heaven Pavilion and focus on his own affairs.
Lin Heng no longer regarded Situ Jiannan as his servant, but as a brother.
But just now, his brother was injured by Yan Lie right in front of him. How could Lin Heng tolerate this?
'call!'
In the blink of an eye, Lin Heng arrived in front of Yan Lie. The murderous intent that surged forth like a tidal wave made it difficult for Yan Lie to breathe.
When Yan Lie saw Lin Heng appear, he was about to defend himself, but as their eyes met, a strange, blood-red light flashed in Lin Heng Lin Heng's blood-red eyes.
Yan Lie immediately found himself in another world. In front of him, thousands of soldiers and horses were charging forward, brandishing swords and spears.
Yan Lie wanted to unleash his power to annihilate the thousands of troops in front of him, but when he activated his Source Power, he discovered that his cultivation was completely sealed. Now he was just like an ordinary person, only able to watch helplessly as the millions of troops charged towards him.
"No... no... no..."
Yan Lie struggled and shouted desperately, but the army's charge would not stop. He saw a leading cavalryman approaching, his hooves flying, kicking him away, and then the rolling cavalry trampled over him...
Trampled by the iron cavalry, he desperately wanted to die, but he couldn't die no matter what he did. The intense pain that went deep into his bones gradually emptied Yan Lie's eyes.
'puff!'
At one point, Yan Lie spat out a mouthful of blood, finally being pulled back to reality.
His physical weakness caused him to collapse to the ground, the horrific scene he had just witnessed soaking his clothes with cold sweat.
"No, no, don't..."
Even after returning to reality, Yan Lie was still unable to recover from the trampling of thousands of troops, and desperately shook his head and shouted.
The surrounding crowd was stunned. No one knew what had happened to Yan Lie, but they were certain that Lin Heng had done it.
The crowd was puzzled. Lin Heng had only appeared in front of Yan Lie and thrown a single punch, so why was Yan Lie so terrified?
"This world is the territory I leave for you."
"From this day forward, I will make you live in constant fear."
Lin Heng's indifferent voice suddenly rang out. Under the control of the Dao Realm, Yan Lie was completely destroyed.
Although his soul realm remained, his cultivation had been destroyed by Lin Heng, and even his spirit and will were forever trapped in that fear. Although he was still alive, it was more painful than death.
'Gurgle!'
A series of swallowing sounds rang out.
The members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans all looked at Lin Heng, their eyes filled with deep fear.
Yan Lie, Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm, turned into a madman in the blink of an eye.
No one wants to become the second Yan Lie, and even less does anyone want to become a laughing stock in the Eighth Heaven.
Of course, there are also those who have no choice but to step forward despite their difficulties, such as Yan Feng, another Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm expert from the Fire Clan.
He was Yan Lie's deputy. When Yan Lie was not around, Yan Feng was in charge of the Fire Clan's forces in the Eighth Heaven.
Now that Yan Lie has gone mad, even though he is terrified of Lin Heng, he still has to grit his teeth and come out to demand an explanation.
" Lin Heng, what did you do to Yan Lie?"
When Yan Feng asked this question, he seemed completely unsure of himself.
However, Lin Heng had no intention of continuing to attack the Fire Clan's experts. After glancing at Yan Lie, who was sitting on the ground repeatedly saying "No, no," he looked at Yan Feng and said calmly, "This is just a small punishment to warn him. Remember, it's not up to others to teach the people of my Battle Heaven Pavilion a lesson."
Lin Heng's words, "a small punishment to serve as a warning," enraged Yan Feng. Turning Yan Lie into a cripple—was that really a small punishment to serve as a warning?
Yan Feng dared not ask such a question. Even Yan Lie, Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm Yan Lie, was powerless against Lin Heng. Yan Feng was not so arrogant as to think he could fight Lin Heng.
While Yan Feng remained silent, Situ Jiannan looked at Lin Heng with gratitude in his eyes.
He was willing to fight the Fire Clan head-on for his own sake, and even went so far as to cripple one of their Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm.
How could Situ Jiannan not be grateful to such a master?
Sensing Situ Jiannan's gaze, Lin Heng turned and glanced at him, then smiled slightly and returned his gaze with a reassuring look.
After dealing with Yan Lie, Lin Heng ignored the gazes of the other races and looked at Yan Feng, asking, "Now that your Fire Clan has stopped questioning me, let's talk about your rules. What do you expect from my Battle Heaven Pavilion if it wants to establish itself in the Eighth Heaven?"
Yan Feng saw Lin Heng bring up this matter, his eyes darted around, and then he said coldly, " Lin Heng, let me ask you this first: does your Battle Heaven Pavilion want a good piece of land, or is any place to stay acceptable?"
Lin Heng naturally didn't care about good locations; did he think he lacked resources?
However, since Yan Feng asked this question in front of the other twelve forces, Lin Heng naturally wouldn't lose face.
"Since our Battle Heaven Pavilion is determined to establish itself, why would we just find a place to stay anywhere?"
Even though he knew the other party had ulterior motives, Lin Heng still spoke up without hesitation.
Seeing Lin Heng walk into his trap, Yan Feng chuckled inwardly and said, "Fine, that's straightforward, but there's only so much good land in the Eighth Heaven. If you want it, others want it too. So your Battle Heaven Pavilion has to show some convincing strength, right?"
Sure enough, they were waiting for me here!
Lin Heng sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained Immovable as he said, "Draw the line, and my Battle Heaven Pavilion will accept it."
Seeing this, Yan Feng no longer needed to be polite.
"Good!"
Nodding in agreement, Yan Feng stated his conditions. "If you want to establish yourself in the Eighth Heaven, then we'll have to see what kind of quality your Battle Heaven Pavilion's disciples possess."
" Lin Heng, we will meet here again tomorrow. My Fire Clan has set up three arenas, one for groups of three, one for groups of ten, and one for groups of one hundred. If your Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples can win two matches, then we will acknowledge your Battle Heaven Pavilion's foothold in the Eighth Heaven and hand over all of the Dragon Flame Sect Sect's territory to you. What do you say?"
Lin Heng smiled but didn't answer, glancing sideways at Ao Lie not far away.
Sensing Lin Heng's gaze, Lin Heng looked over, and with a single glance, Ao Lie instantly understood.
"We, Battle Heaven Pavilion, accept this challenge. It doesn't have to be a best-of-three series; if we lose even one match, we lose."
