Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Lin Xinran was a member of the Lin family, and nominally, she was still Lin Wu’s fiancée. If she were captured, Duan Xinyu would also have to tread carefully.

However, Wenren Yuxin failed once again.

Lin Xinran’s cultivation level wasn’t much weaker than Wenren Yuxin’s. The moment Wenren Yuxin moved, Lin Xinran shot backward in retreat.

At the same time, Duan Xinyu flicked his sleeve again, and Wenren Yuxin’s movements were once again obstructed.

RIP!

In the end, Wenren Yuxin only managed to tear off a corner of Lin Xinran’s dress.

"Duan Xinyu, let me out. I’m going back to the Lin family," Lin Xinran said coldly, her expression ugly after having her dress torn.

"This..." Duan Xinyu hesitated.

’Nothing that happened today can get out. Letting Lin Xinran leave now is far too risky.’

"Do you still want Lin Hao dead?" Lin Xinran asked icily.

Hearing this, Duan Xinyu looked toward the other side of Zhenlong Lake, and his expression changed drastically.

He saw that of the few people who had just rushed over, two were already decapitated.

Duan Xinyu knew those two; their cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of the Elemental Realm.

’How long has it been? They’re already dead?’

And they had died silently.

Duan Xinyu didn’t answer Lin Xinran. Instead, he let out a sharp whistle.

The sound was long and urgent.

RUMBLE!

The earth trembled, and the scent of blood grew stronger.

The next moment, rows of Warriors in black armor, holding long spears, appeared from all directions.

They were all fully armed, with only their crimson eyes visible.

One of the youths besieging Lin Hao glanced over and was instantly horrified.

What he saw in those crimson eyes were not pupils, but mountains of bones and churning pools of blood.

Every single one of these Warriors had shed rivers of blood!

The killing intent from a single one of them might not have been overwhelming, but when combined, it was terrifying enough to make one want to flee immediately.

As soon as these Warriors appeared, without a word needing to be said, all the youths who had come to besiege Lin Hao retreated in haste.

"Miss Xinran, please be patient. This is the secret weapon of my mansion. Although each of them is only at about the Elemental Realm Fifth Layer, when they act as one, they are invincible. Even a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Elemental Realm would be defeated by them," Duan Xinyu finally replied to Lin Xinran from the other side of Zhenlong Lake.

"I hope so, too, but we can’t be careless. How about this: find someone to inform my coachman. Have him return to the Lin family and select a few disciples at the Peak of the Elemental Realm to come over." Lin Xinran’s desire to kill Lin Hao was no weaker than Duan Xinyu’s.

’She had never forgotten the look in Lin Hao’s eyes. As a woman, Lin Xinran naturally knew what fate would be the cruelest for her.’

Duan Xinyu nodded. This request was beneficial to him, with no downside.

As soon as Lin Xinran finished speaking, the others all spoke up, asking Duan Xinyu to pass messages to their own coachmen waiting outside.

They had seen how formidable Lin Hao was. If these Warriors couldn’t deal with him, they would be in danger.

Duan Xinyu accepted all their requests, nodding to each one.

However, the only one he truly notified was the Lin family.

’After something like this, the fewer people who know, the better.’

On the opposite shore of Zhenlong Lake, Lin Hao was completely surrounded, and the space around him was shrinking.

These Warriors intended to crush Lin Hao with a human wall.

Lin Hao’s eyes turned cold as he brandished the Evil-Slaying Sword.

With a casual swing, an invisible Sword Qi surged forth.

And the Warriors moved as well.

Their movements were not only incredibly fast but also perfectly synchronized.

They pointed their spears at the ground in unison, plunging them deep into the earth. Then, with a simultaneous flick upward, they pried up the hard Vajra Rock from the ground.

BOOM!

The rock collided with the invisible Sword Qi, creating a deafening explosion. The Vajra Rock then shattered, instantly turning to dust.

The Warriors on all four sides shot backward, their spears repeating the previous motion.

BOOM!

Without any suspense, the pried-up Vajra Rock shattered again, turning to dust.

In this manner, the Warriors on all sides had to heave up rock four times before they finally dissipated Lin Hao’s Sword Qi.

Dust and sand filled the air. Lin Hao stood proudly in the center, sword in hand.

And while the Warriors on all sides remained as still as mountains, a closer look would reveal that the hands gripping their spears were trembling slightly.

That a casual swing from Lin Hao could possess such power was a truly shocking sight!

In the middle of the field, the corners of Lin Hao’s mouth curved into a wicked smile, and he even shot a glance at Duan Xinyu. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Why are you falling back? Get him!" Duan Xinyu’s heart skipped a beat, and he roared.

The moment he spoke, the Warriors moved.

This time, they proactively flung up chunks of Vajra Rock from the ground, sending countless pieces flying toward Lin Hao like meteorites.

The chunks of Vajra Rock were massive, each weighing at least a thousand pounds.

The force was staggering.

At the same time, the other youths also took action.

The giant hands of True Essence they manifested descended from the sky, slamming down toward Lin Hao on the ground.

Lin Hao had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Facing such a ferocious assault, Lin Hao simply made a casual gesture with his Evil-Slaying Sword, thrusting it straight out.

PFFT! PFFT!

However, this casual thrust possessed unimaginable power. A hole the size of a pinky finger appeared in every piece of Vajra Rock, and the attack continued onward, unabated.

It was an indiscriminate attack; no matter where they stood, the black-armored Warriors were all hit at the same time.

A bloody hole appeared in each of their hearts.

By now, the countless chunks of Vajra Rock had reached Lin Hao, their momentum unbroken, while the giant hands of True Essence from the sky were already right above his head.

Lin Hao remained as still as a mountain, making no move with his hands, only a slight quirk of his lips.

BANG!

The next moment, the Vajra Rock shattered, and some of the black-armored Warriors also exploded.

The shattered fragments of Vajra Rock and flesh didn’t get near Lin Hao. Instead, as if being drawn by some force, they shot skyward.

The hands of True Essence met them, and a terrifying force erupted low in the air, spreading outward with the space above Lin Hao’s head as its epicenter.

RUMBLE!

An unknown number of pavilions in Your Highness’ Mansion were sliced in half.

All the youths who had attacked, with the exception of Hu Rui, were thrown backward, their faces flushing various shades of red.

Hu Rui had also manifested a hand of True Essence. It wasn’t destroyed by the shockwave; after a brief pause, it once again slammed down toward Lin Hao’s head.

Lin Hao raised an eyebrow and threw a punch without even looking.

BOOM!

Another terrifying shockwave erupted, and the half-destroyed pavilions of Your Highness’ Mansion were shortened even further.

Half of Lin Hao’s body was driven into the ground, but Hu Rui was in even worse shape. Though his body only swayed, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Good heavens, is Brother Lin a god descended from the heavens?" On the opposite shore, Chen Qian’s eyes went wide as he mumbled to himself.

The scene he had just witnessed completely overturned Chen Qian’s understanding of the world.

His own cultivation was at the Peak of the Elemental Realm, and he knew that if he faced such an attack without using his Bloodline Power, he would have been utterly defeated.

Most importantly, he knew Hu Rui’s cultivation level—he was an existence at the Ninth Layer of the Elemental Realm!

After shaking everyone to their core, Lin Hao had injured Hu Rui, a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Elemental Realm, with a casual blow. Such combat prowess could only be described as heaven-defying!
