In the blink of an eye, the group of people who had been full of confidence, thinking they could take down Lin Changkong with sheer numbers, all showed looks of horror and retreated in panic.
Lin Changkong's saber strike was fierce and domineering, with countless saber qi erupting and engulfing everyone.
The Blood Fiend Saber Qi itself was a Fourth-tier martial art, which in a place like the Heavenly Fire Sect's Outer Sect, was definitely a high-tier martial art.
For ordinary disciples, being able to master a Second-tier martial art was already remarkable, and a Third-tier was considered exceptional.
Lin Changkong had achieved minor success in a Fourth-tier martial art, possessed pure Crimson Flame spiritual energy, and had a cultivation of Qi Gathering Fifth Level.
Without even needing to unleash his full power, the might of this single saber strike had surpassed the limits of everyone else!
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft—"
As countless saber qi descended, the group roared and mobilized their spiritual energy to defend, but they couldn't block the terrifying saber qi at all.
With the sound of sharp objects cutting, swathes of figures were sent flying backward, their protective spiritual energy torn apart, and blood splattered everywhere!
The moment the Blood Fiend Saber Qi dissipated, the more than a dozen people who had charged forward to gang up on Lin Changkong were, without exception, lying on the ground.
Each of them had bloody wounds, and while they weren't dead, they were severely weakened.
More importantly, Lin Changkong's move had directly shattered their Dao hearts.
With so many people, he had managed to sweep them all away with a single move. Who could have imagined it!
"Why... why is this happening, why..."
Luo Ling lay on the ground, looking at the bleeding wound on her stomach. The intense pain flooded her mind, leaving it blank.
Only terror and disbelief surged within her.
Outside the arena, Luo Qingyi and Zhang Qingfeng were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.
"He took down a whole group with one saber strike. To what level has this guy's Blood Fiend Saber Qi been cultivated?"
Luo Qingyi exclaimed, even suspecting Ye Wuchen was lying to her.
If Lin Changkong had only obtained the Blood Fiend Saber Qi yesterday, how could he have cultivated it to this extent in just one day?
Even the most monstrous talent in the entire Heavenly Fire Sect couldn't achieve this!
Little did she know, Ye Wuchen was even more shocked than she was at this moment.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Such a wide-ranging attack, his Blood Fiend Saber Qi must have reached the minor success stage. And to condense such a massive amount of saber qi, he would need at least Qi Gathering Third Level cultivation to sustain it.
This guy actually cultivated the Fourth-tier Blood Fiend Saber Qi to minor success in just one day, and broke through from Qi Gathering First Level to Qi Gathering Third Level in just two days.
Holy crap! What kind of speed is this, what the hell kind of speed is this!"
Ye Wuchen swore repeatedly, excitement mixed with a sense of impending doom.
Damn it, a minor realm a day? Where in the world is there such a monster? And on top of that, while improving his cultivation, he also mastered a Fourth-tier martial art to minor success, and in just one day!
Damn it!
But he didn't know that Lin Changkong was actually progressing not one minor realm a day, but two. He was already at Qi Gathering Fifth Level.
It was just that these weaklings didn't require him to use his full strength.
Luo Qingyi had been doubtful, but hearing Ye Wuchen's words made her feel even more dejected.
If Ye Wuchen wasn't lying, then it could only prove one thing: Lin Changkong's talent was truly too great, to a degree they had never seen before.
With such a genius, as long as he didn't die, who in the Heavenly Fire Sect could suppress him in the future?
Zhang Qingfeng's eyes trembled, and he thought to himself, "His talent is too terrifying. If we don't eliminate him before he grows, we'll never have another chance!"
Hong Ye swallowed and murmured, "As expected, this guy didn't lie to me. He really doesn't listen to advice, and still acts tough. But you didn't tell me you were this tough!"
He was ridiculously tough.
Lin Changkong's saber strike had overturned everyone, his aura becoming even more intense, his arrogance undiminished, standing alone in the center of the arena with his saber.
Within ten feet, no one dared to approach!
The group of Qi Gathering Second Level disciples were stunned. So many of them couldn't withstand a single saber strike from him.
And such a wide-ranging attack was actually indiscriminate.
It was heaven-defying!
Lin Changkong shook his head, looking at the group lying on the ground, all staring at him in utter horror, and said coldly, "A bunch of trash!"
With that, he walked over and kicked each of them off the martial arts stage. Being kicked off meant elimination.
Let alone the championship, they wouldn't even make it into the top thirty now.
The faces of the group of Qi Gathering Second Level disciples turned pale. Normally, they were guaranteed to be in the top thirty, even the top twenty. But now, they wouldn't even make it into the top one hundred.
The top batch of disciples were all eliminated right at the start. In the Heavenly Fire Sect's hundreds of years of history, there had never been such an outrageous event!
Of course, not everyone was kicked flying by Lin Changkong. Two people remained: Zhong Li and Luo Ling.
It would be too easy to simply eliminate these people who had led the charge against him.
He chuckled and walked towards Zhong Li.
Zhong Li had already been hit by several Blood Fiend Saber Qi, and blood pooled on the ground. He was weak and listless, and his heart filled with terror as he watched Lin Changkong approach.
"I, I surrender, I surrender! Don't come any closer, I beg you."
Zhong Li was in tears, scrambling backward on hands and feet.
Lin Changkong acted as if he hadn't heard, stepping forward and stomping him to the ground. He then proceeded to slap Zhong Li repeatedly across the face until Zhong Li fainted, his face mangled. Only then did he kick him away.
Then, he turned his gaze to Luo Ling, who stood nearby.
Luo Ling's chest heaved violently. She never expected the outcome to be like this, and she had been the one who had most cruelly humiliated Lin Changkong earlier.
How could Lin Changkong let her off the hook?
"You, don't come any closer! I'm warning you, my aunt is Elder Luo Qingyi. If you dare lay a hand on me again, my aunt won't let you go."
Luo Ling was terrified and could only bring up Luo Qingyi to bolster her position.
But Lin Changkong was unfazed. From Luo Ling's name, he knew she must be related to Luo Qingyi; he had already guessed it.
Luo Qingyi's face turned ashen. She never imagined things would turn out this way.
Watching the scene on the martial arts stage, she couldn't bear to see Luo Ling beaten further by Lin Changkong. After all, it was she who had instructed Luo Ling to deliberately make things difficult for Lin Changkong.
So, she coldly shouted, "Lin Changkong, stop! If you dare touch Luo Ling, I will never forgive you."
"Bang!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Changkong suddenly raised his leg and stomped down towards Luo Ling's face.
"Ah—"
A scream escaped Luo Ling's lips. She clutched her face, writhing on the ground in pain.
Luo Qingyi was consumed by rage and roared, "I told you to stop!"
"Bang!"
But Lin Changkong paid no heed. His response was an even more forceful kick, accompanied by Luo Ling's more miserable cries.
"Ah! You little bastard, stop!"
Luo Qingyi was furious enough to explode. Her Core Formation realm cultivation erupted, and her aura pressed down on Lin Changkong from a distance.
"Bang!"
However, Lin Changkong still didn't stop. He brought his foot down on Luo Ling's chest, breaking seven or eight of her ribs.
The immense force also injured her internal organs, causing her to vomit blood.
Lin Changkong stood on her, sneering, "Is being an Elder's niece so great? I'm beating your niece!"
