"Hmm?"
Lin Changâsheng saw the two people actually throw out three pitch-black beads the size of chicken eggs, his brows furrowing. These two tailing him were both first-class in Cultivation, one at Peak stage, the other at the Late Stage.
These three beads didnât look like hidden weapons, which didnât make sense.
Suspicion rose in Lin Changâshengâs heart. He unleashed Fleeting Shadows and his figure flickered, instantly appearing dozens of yards away!
BOOM, rumble!
BOOM, rumble!
........
The three beads landed where Lin Changâsheng was standing just moments ago, exploding instantly with an earth-shattering roar. The ground quaked, smoke and dust billowed, and stones blasted in every direction!
An enormous pit over ten yards in diameter appeared right on the spot.
Countless stones scattered, but Lin Changâsheng, using Fleeting Shadows, had already moved beyond the blast zone!
"Thunder Shock from the Lei Family!"
Lin Changâsheng narrowed his eyes and, reaching out, crushed a rock in his hand, hurling it toward a clump of bushes.
"Ah! Ah!"
Behind the bushes, two shrill, miserable screams rang out.
When Lin Changâsheng walked over, he saw two red-faced middle-aged men lying on the ground. Their kneecaps, palms, and shoulder joints had all been pierced with bloody holes by the stone pellets, blood gushing out!
It was clear their Martial Arts had been crippled.
"Y-You... You ruined our Martial Arts!"
The two stared at Lin Changâsheng, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
To flick stones and cripple all four limbs in a heartbeatâonly a Martial Arts Grandmaster could do it!
But they couldnât believe that the youth before them, just sixteen or seventeen years old, actually possessed the strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
This was simply unimaginable!
"Hmph! Crippling your Martial Arts is just the start!"
"Your Lei Family has no reason to exist anymore!"
Lin Changâsheng stood at a distance, eyeing them warily. "Talk. Why did you follow and try to kill me? I can give you a quick death."
Since they could throw out three Celestial Thunder Beads, they surely had more on them.
"You bastard! Thereâs nothing to say. Just kill us!"
The red-faced man growled defiantly.
Lei Ming realized that he and his third brother werenât as skilled, and with their shoulders and kneecaps destroyed, death would be better than this. He craved a swift end!
"As you wish!"
A cold light flashed in Lin Changâshengâs eyes. He stepped on Lei Mingâs footâand pressed down slowly!
"Crunch!"
"Ah! Ah!"
The sound of bone shattering echoed. Lei Mingâs face twisted in agony, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he howled in pain.
Moments later,
Lin Changâsheng had stomped all of Lei Mingâs limbs to pieces. For people who used Celestial Thunder Beads on their first move, he felt no pity at all!
If he hadnât known Martial Arts, under those three Celestial Thunder Beads, heâd have been blown to ashes, not even bones left!
"You... Iâll tell you. Just give us an end!"
Seeing his second brotherâs face contorted in pain, Lei Bao glared at Lin Changâsheng, shouting with bloodshot eyes.
"Third Brother... Donât talk!"
Lei Mingâs expression changed at his words.
He knew the man before him was out of their league. But the person behind Housekeeper Yu was someone the Lei Family couldnât afford to provoke. If they upset that person, their Lei Family would be finished!
"Second Brother, even if we keep quiet, the Lei Family is doomed!"
"We thought that by backing that person, the Lei Family would soar. Who knew, in the end, it would doom our clan!"
Lei Baoâs gaze was desperate as he stared at Lin Changâsheng. "Itâs Housekeeper Yu! The mastermind is King Qi of Great Yu, Yu Xiaochang! Dare you mess with him?"
Though named Lei Bao, he had always been cautious by nature, yet he didnât expect that this youth would actually possess the Cultivation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
One wrong step, and everything followed!
Could the Lei Family survive before a Martial Arts Grandmaster?
Impossible!
Dead either wayâmight as well drag that person down too!
"King Qi of Great Yu?"
"Alright, time for you to go!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Changâsheng squinted. So, King Qi was taking out his anger on him because of Yu Wenjing.
Lin Changâsheng raised his hand, slapping Lei Ming and Lei Bao square on the tops of their heads!
Their heads burst like watermelons beneath his palm, both dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Yu Xiaochang, youâre seeking death!"
Lin Changâsheng glanced in the direction of Yu City, murderous intent flashing in his eyes!
In the next moment,
Lin Changâsheng rifled through Lei Ming and Lei Baoâs corpses, finding six Celestial Thunder Beads, over a hundred taels of silver, and three Tiger Blood Pills. But he didnât find any Martial Arts or Cultivation Techniques.
"When I get back, itâs time to visit the Lei Family."
Lin Changâsheng thought secretly to himself.
Right now, what he needed most was Martial Arts Techniques to fuse. He was looking forward to the futureâmaybe he could even create a Cultivation Immortality Technique!
"Time to hit the mountain top and grind some experience!"
Lin Changâsheng hefted both bodies, dashing toward the summit of a mountain dozens of miles away. Dumping them deep in the wilds, no one would ever know.
Gale Saber Technique Experience Points +1!
Five Internal Organs Guiding Technique Experience Points +1!
Minor Circulation Breathing Method +1!
Lin Changâsheng tossed the Lei brothers aside and sat atop the peak, letting the gale whip around him. He breathed deeply, left hand rubbing his stomach, right hand drumming a Tiger Claw against his side. On his status panel, notifications for gained Experience Points popped up non-stop.
........
Countless miles away from Min Nan,
There was an endless stretch of towering mountains, thick with Spiritual Energy like mist, shrouding the entire range!
Above a single mountainâWhite Stone Mountain, spanning ten thousand miles and shaped like an enormous steamed bunâa streak of white light instantly teleported in!
As the light faded, a tall woman with a svelte waist and an air as imposing as the highest peak appeared. Her skin put snow to shame, seeming sculpted from cream. Her face was unmatched, devastatingly beautiful!
At this moment, the beautyâs eyes blazed with fury.
"Damn it! How dare they make a move while I was in the Nine-Turn of Reincarnation!"
Blood trickled from her lip. Her breath was shaky as she took a look behind her, then her figure flashed and dove into the mountainous wilds!
Three breaths later, four more figures flashed onto the scene!
Four peopleâthree men, one womanâall with deep, mysterious gazes. Each exuded a terrifying aura, warping the air around them!
The three menâ
One wore a green robe, muscles bulging, straining against his clothes. His bare arms were covered in faint gold scales. Standing there, he was like an insurmountable mountain!
Another had a hooked nose, his aura sinister. Wisps of black energy curled around him!
The thirdâs skin was dark, with a diamond pattern on his forehead!
The last was a woman, her features delicate and ethereal, attired in blazing red treasure robes, adorned with gorgeous Fire Feathers!
"Gentlemen, that bitch has hit her ninth Reincarnation Weakness. Sheâs hiding on this mountain. Once we kill her, I only want that one thingâeverything else, you can have!"
The woman in the fire-red robe eyed White Stone Mountain below, her voice cold.
But the greed in her eyes could not be concealed!
"Fine. The rest weâll split three ways!"
"Letâs seal the mountain so she canât escape!"
The three men nodded in agreement.
All four began, unleashing magical beams, sealing the mountain in light!
In that instant, the towering mountain trembled. A blazing-white pillar of light, more than ten yards thick, shot skyward, shattering the four expertsâ formation!
"Not good!"
"This..."
"What? Thereâs an ultra-range Teleportation Array here? No wonderâthat bitch risked everything just to get here!"
Gazing at the pillar, all four were stunned, staring blankly as the light disappeared.
..........
Lin Changâsheng sat atop the peak.
The gale swept over him as he rubbed his stomach, breathing evenly.
Suddenly,
A pillar of light erupted from within the mountain beneath him, shooting straight into the sky!
The immense beam engulfed Lin Changâsheng!
He was illuminated, appearing almost like a banished immortal exiled to the mortal world.
"Huh? ...Could there be a treasure in the mountainâs depths?"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes flew wide open. The air suddenly felt unbelievably pure, and he couldnât help but inhale deeply several times!
He quickly got to his feet, cautiously scanning his surroundings, then dashed down the mountain, seeking the source of the lightâmaybe, just maybe, a treasure was emerging.
BOOM, rumble!
Just as Lin Changâsheng left the summit, a thunderous crash erupted!
He turned around, only to see that the peak where heâd just been meditating had collapsed!
"Damn, lucky I ran fast!!"
Lin Changâsheng quietly let out a sigh of relief.
