To be honest, he was scared out of his mind right now.
If Lin Changâsheng really didnât care about the backlash heâd suffer killing them, then thereâs no way theyâd survive today.
Because Lin Changâsheng was a Void Refining Cultivator. Killing them, the Divinity Transformation cultivators, would be the easiest thing in the world for him.
"You think Iâm the reckless one? Itâs you lot who donât care about your lives!"
Lin Changâsheng moved Zhao ShuangâEr behind him protectively, glaring coldly at Dugu Yan and Dugu Yong. Heâd already let these two live once, yet they still wouldnât let it go.
Today, he definitely couldnât let them walk away.
"What a joke! Iâm the Sect Leaderâs son from the Myriad Beasts Sect. If you dare kill me, my Myriad Beasts Sect will tear you to pieces!"
Dugu Yong immediately threw out the name of the Myriad Beasts Sect, trying to threaten Lin Changâsheng.
But that threat meant nothing to Lin Changâsheng.
Lin Changâsheng wasnât even scared of a giant power like the Celestial Nether Sword Sect, so why would he fear the Myriad Beasts Sect?
"How laughable!"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes turned icy cold, not bothering with any more words.
He threw out a punch without hesitation.
Roarâ
Nine golden dragons coiled around his Fist Aura, making the punch seem overwhelmingly fierce.
Dugu Yong saw that Lin Changâsheng wasnât intimidated by the Myriad Beasts Sect at all, that he only wanted to kill him, and instantly panicked, stumbling backward in terror.
But in just a blink, he was about to reach the edge of the Flying Shuttle. Dugu Yong realized there was nowhere left to run, so he could only swing his Spirit Treasure and slice out with his sword.
Boomâ
The Sword Aura and Fist Aura violently clashed, erupting with a thunderous boom.
With a shattering roar, the Fist Aura instantly smashed through Dugu Yongâs Sword Aura, and continued its unstoppable assault, slamming into Dugu Yongâs shoulder and arm.
That punch not only sent Dugu Yong flying from the Flying Shuttle, it also shattered his entire right arm, spraying blood everywhere.
"Big brother!"
Dugu Yan, seeing Dugu Yong injured, immediately threw out her long whip and wrapped it around Dugu Yong, dragging him back on board before he could fall.
Otherwise, if he plummeted thousands of feet in that condition, heâd be dead for sure.
"YanâEr, get out of here! Go tell fatherâhe must avenge me!"
Dugu Yong was bitter and unwilling, but knew there was nowhere left to escape today. His only hope was that Dugu Yan could get away and inform their father.
So someone could avenge his blood debt.
"Big brother, youâre not going to die! Iâll get you out right now!"
Dugu Yan grabbed her brother and leapt, ready to escape from the Flying Shuttle.
"Do you really think you can get away?"
Lin Changâsheng had no intention of letting the siblings off. Since theyâd already harbored killing intent against him, he had to wipe them out, or theyâd be endless trouble later.
He gathered Primordial Power in his palm, and instantly sent out a palm strike. The whole sky was filled with golden Palm Seals.
This was the Gods World Destruction Palm.
The exploding palm marks shot out, dazzling like shooting stars streaking across the sky.
"What a tyrannical attack! Why would the Dugu Siblings even provoke him? Theyâre just looking to die!"
"Exactly! The Myriad Beasts Sect Leader Dugu Yifang is gonna fly into a rage now!"
"Who cares? Itâs not like the Myriad Beasts Sect is some saintly sect. Their children dying is what they deserve!"
"Right, Dugu Yifang is seriously a jerkâthrowing his weight around just because he has some power! If both his kids die, thatâs his karma!"
...
The young cultivators watching didnât try to stop Lin Changâsheng at all as he struck at the Dugu siblings.
Clearly, no one liked the Dugu Siblings and probably hoped theyâd die sooner rather than later.
"Show mercy when you can!"
But just as those palm marks were about to crash into Dugu Yan and Dugu Yong, a voice echoed out like a great bell.
With that voice, a powerful shockwave blasted out from a Flying Boat not far away.
The soundwave instantly shattered all of Lin Changâshengâs golden Palm Seals.
As easily as a stream scattering a cluster of leaves.
"A Mahayana Stage cultivator?"
Lin Changâsheng scanned the area and saw a group of people standing atop the nearby Flying Boat.
At their head was an old man, white-haired and bearded, exuding an ethereal immortalsâ aura.
Lin Changâsheng sensed the aura of the old man and realized he really was a Mahayana Stage powerhouse. No wonder a single soundwave from his voice could scatter Lin Changâshengâs attack so easily.
The difference in power between them was obvious.
"Elder Zhou, itâs me, Dugu Yan from the Myriad Beasts Sect!"
Dugu Yan, recognizing the man as Spirit Mountain Elder Zhou Chang, immediately smiled obsequiously.
They had met Zhou Chang once before.
Zhou Chang had visited the Myriad Beasts Sect to pick out mounts for Spirit Mountain disciples, and thatâs where theyâd crossed paths.
"Niece Dugu?"
Zhou Chang was surprised to see Dugu Yan here.
He hadnât expected the girlâs the Myriad Beasts Sect Leaderâs daughter.
"Elder Zhou, itâs me. That bastard tried to molest me, my brother stood up to him and got badly hurt, and now heâs trying to kill us to silence us. Please, you have to grant us justice!"
Dugu Yan put on a pitiful expression as she spoke.
Lin Changâsheng just felt a wave of nausea hearing that.
Molest her? What, is he blind or some kind of pervert?
Zhao ShuangâEr is ten times better looking than her!
"Is that true?"
Zhou Chang looked toward Hou Yutian. Among everyone on the Flying Shuttle, Hou Yutian had the highest cultivation, so of course, Zhou Chang was looking to him for explanation.
"Elder, I swear on my life that never happened! In fact, they tried to sneak attack our disciple while he was in breakthrough and got crushed for their trouble! If Iâm lying, may I be struck by lightning and die an ugly death!"
Hou Yutian was left speechlessâheâd met shameless people before, but nothing like Dugu Yanâs lies.
Heâd thought it was just a small squabble, but he never expected even a Spirit Mountain elder would get dragged into this mess.
"Who was trying to break through?"
Zhou Chang wasnât completely satisfied; if the one in question had mediocre cultivation, heâd just smack them dead here and move onâif he needed a mount from the Myriad Beasts Sect in the future, theyâd probably provide one for free.
Helping people like that was an easy favor, after all.
But Lin Changâsheng didnât back down, his Primordial Spirit Dharma Body walking two steps forward. "So you beat the juniors, and now the old ones show up for justice?"
Lin Changâsheng let out a cold laugh; there was no way he was going to bow and scrape for anyone.
Even facing a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, so what?
If the guy wanted to kill him, it wouldnât be easy either.
Now Lin Changâsheng already had the Ancient Bronze Mirror in hand. If the old man dared to attackâ
He could block with the Ancient Bronze Mirrorâs devouring and rebound abilities, then escape using his Space Secret Technique.
Once he made it to the Refining God Sect, would Zhou Chang dare move against him just like that?
"Early Stage of Void Refining?"
Seeing Lin Changâsheng, Zhou Chang was a little surprised.
He didnât expect there to be such a top-tier talent on the Flying Shuttle.
Judging from Lin Changâshengâs looks, he wasnât even thirty, but his cultivation already rivaled the top youths of Spirit Mountain.
This kidâs talent isnât low! He could achieve anything in the future.
Plus, heâd just heard Lin Changâsheng had been breaking throughâso heâs about to break into the Middle Stage of Void Refining. That was even more impressive.
"Is this kid your sect disciple?"
Zhou Chang pressed Hou Yutian again.
This stumped Hou Yutian for a moment.
If he said no, maybe Lin Changâsheng would be forcibly recruited by Spirit Mountain.
If he refused, Zhou Chang could just kill him, and then who would speak up for Lin Changâsheng?
If he said yes, what if Zhou Chang got angry and dragged the entire Purple Sun Sect into this mess?
"Yes!"
After much hesitation, Hou Yutian admitted it outright.
He was gambling.
Gambling that Zhou Chang wouldnât make things difficult just for Dugu Yongâs sake.
After all, Zhou Chang and Dugu Yong werenât close at all.
To offend a peerless genius for Dugu Yong wasnât worth it.
And Lin Changâsheng was headed off to compete in the Celestial Pride List right now.
If he took a good ranking, he would be noticed by the giant sectsâfor all they knew, he could join a sect even stronger than Spirit Mountain.
That way, offending such a talent would come with a heavy price.
Zhou Chang clearly understood this logic, so he hesitated and made his decision quickly.
Weighing whether to kill or not, he finally chose to let it go.
"Since heâs your sect disciple, youâd better keep a close eye on him. The road to the Refining Void Sect is longâbe careful."
Zhou Chang tossed out a warning, then left with his sect disciples.
"Elder Zhou, why didnât youâ"
"No more questions!"
Dugu Yan was confusedâwhy didnât Zhou Chang kill Lin Changâsheng on the spot?
Didnât Zhou Chang have Mahayana cultivation?
Killing a Void Refining Cultivator should be nothing to him, right?
But Zhou Chang had his own reasons.
He decided it wasnât worth making an enemy of a future prodigy just for Dugu Yongâs sake.
Who knowsâmaybe Lin Changâsheng was already on the radar of major powers. If he killed Lin Changâsheng now, he might bring disaster on himself instead.
