"Thump, thump!"
A powerful surge of Yuan Power erupted from Wu Sha's body. With one palm strike, he sent a Lin family guard flying backward, spitting blood. Then, with a sinister grin, he raised his large foot again, intending to viciously stomp on the guard's head, who was utterly terrified. From the look of it, if the stomp connected, brains would splatter everywhere.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as Wu Sha was about to bring his foot down, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out. He swung his hand back, catching a broken spear. Wu Sha looked up and saw, not far in front of him, a slender young man calmly staring back at him.
"Heh heh, is the Lin family really out of people? To even send out a snot-nosed brat, do you think I'll go easy?" Casually tossing the broken spear aside, Wu Sha kicked the guard next to him away, then grinned as he looked at Lin Dong.
"Young Master Lin Dong!"
Several Lin family guards nearby, seeing this, quickly cried out. Qin Ying, who had met Lin Dong several times, also rushed over with his men, protecting Lin Dong from behind.
"Young Master Lin Dong, run quickly! This Wu Sha has the strength of the initial Sky Yuan Stage. We're afraid we won't be able to stop him for too long!"
Looking at the Lin family guards in front of him, desperately protecting him, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile faintly. But he didn't retreat as told; instead, he slowly stepped forward: "Uncle Qin Ying, you lead your men to deal with the others from the Black Dragon Stronghold. I will take responsibility for stopping this Wu Sha."
Hearing this, the group of Lin family guards and Qin Ying were instantly terrified. Just as they were about to dissuade him, they suddenly felt a powerful surge of Yuan Power erupting from Lin Dong's body.
"Late Earth Yuan Stage!"
Feeling the power of this Yuan Power, Qin Ying and the others were once again shocked, not expecting Lin Dong to have reached this level in less than a year.
"Don't worry! I won't die that easily..."
Lin Dong smiled at Qin Ying and the others, then without further ado, moved his feet and stopped directly in front of the burly Wu Sha.
It was indeed not easy for someone at the Earth Yuan Stage to advance to the Sky Yuan Stage. Even after three months of arduous cultivation, Lin Dong still felt no sense of breakthrough.
However, although he hadn't entered the Sky Yuan Stage, it didn't mean Lin Dong was completely incapable of fighting Wu Sha, who had reached the initial Sky Yuan Stage. His own Yuan Power, due to absorbing the special Yin Sha Qi within Qing Tan's body, was already sharper than that of ordinary people. Moreover, martial arts were always miraculous; it was not wishful thinking to contend with an initial Sky Yuan Stage master.
"Late Earth Yuan Stage?"
Looking at the young man standing before him, Wu Sha's ferocious face showed a hint of surprise. To have reached such a level at that age, it seemed the Lin family had always hidden a genius.
"At this kid's cultivation speed, I'm afraid he'll reach the Heavenly Origin Stage in at most one or two years. Who knows, he might even become a Yuan Dan expert in the future..." Wu Sha's eyes flashed, and then a murderous intent began to rise in his heart. Today, Black Dragon Stronghold and the Lin family had completely severed ties. If the Lin family truly gained another Yuan Dan Stage expert in the future, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster for Black Dragon Stronghold.
This kind of disaster was best eliminated quickly.
Thinking of this, an even more intense killing aura emanated from Wu Sha's ferocious face. He looked at Lin Dong and smiled strangely, saying, "Although I've killed quite a few people, I've never tried killing a genius like you. I wonder what it feels like?"
"Bang!"
As soon as Wu Sha finished speaking, his body shot out fiercely. Abundant Yuan Power condensed in his palm, then he fiercely slapped it towards Lin Dong.
"Pure Yuan Finger!"
Facing Wu Sha's attack, Lin Dong's expression also became solemn. The Yuan Power in his Dantian rapidly gathered at this moment, and finally, a beam of light like white jade shot out from his two fingers, heavily striking Wu Sha's palm.
"Thump!"
Finger and palm met, and Yuan Power fluctuations spread out like ripples, scattering all the gravel on the ground.
"Thump... thump...!!!"
The finger and palm only touched for a moment, but Lin Dong's body quickly retreated several steps before he forcefully stabilized himself. Wu Sha, however, only retreated half a step. The advantage of the Heavenly Origin Stage was clearly undeniable.
"This kid is a bit strange!"
Although he only retreated half a step, Wu Sha's eyes gradually became gloomy. During their brief exchange earlier, he clearly felt that the opponent's Yuan Power exuded an extremely cold aura. Wherever that coldness spread in his body, it would corrode that area. If his body hadn't already incorporated Yang Gang Qi, he might have suffered a slight disadvantage due to being caught off guard.
"Delay will lead to complications. Kill him first, then talk!"
A cold glint flashed in Wu Sha's eyes. His originally open palm expanded further at this moment, and abundant Yuan Power began to circulate rapidly. Immediately after, his sole heavily stomped on the ground, and the powerful force directly cracked the ground, forming a fissure. With the aid of this force, his body appeared before Lin Dong in almost an instant!
"Tearing Wind Hand!"
Wu Sha's large body enveloped Lin Dong like a shadow. A terrifying force began to erupt. His right palm suddenly swung up, and in that instant, it seemed as if even the air was torn in two. The sharp tearing sound of the wind, "Whoosh... Whoosh...!", spread out, causing the expressions of the surrounding spectators to change drastically.
The piercing tearing sound of the wind echoed in Lin Dong's eardrums. At this moment, he felt an intense sense of danger. His eyes stared intently, and in his eyes, a palm print grew larger. At the same time, the Yuan Power contained within his Dantian was frantically drawn out by him, surging violently towards his two palms.
Facing Lin Dong's frantic absorption, his Dantian quickly showed signs of depletion.
"Not enough!"
Feeling the depletion in his dantian, Lin Dong's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth, letting out a low growl in his heart. The two Yangyuan Pills, previously hidden under his tongue, were directly swallowed into his body.
As the two Yangyuan Pills entered his body, their pure medicinal power rapidly diffused throughout him. At the same time, Lin Dong continuously circulated the Qingyuan Art, ceaselessly absorbing Yuan Power from the heavens and earth.
Thus, beneath his sleeves, the Yuan Power in Lin Dong's palms fluctuated with increasing intensity. His hands, swift as lightning, transformed into complex hand seals one after another.
Qimen Seal First Layer… Second Layer!
When the hand seals transformed to the Second Layer, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. He did not stop, but continued to transform the hand seals once more!
"Brat, prepare to die!"
A terrifying palm wind suddenly surged forth. At this very moment, Lin Dong abruptly raised his head, and the transforming hand seals suddenly halted. Immediately after, his two hands maintained a wondrous seal, carrying an unusually powerful surge of Yuan Power. Under the focused and terrified gazes of the surrounding crowd, and the palm wind of Wu Sha, they heavily collided!
Qimen Seal Third Layer!
"Lin Dong!"
Not far away, Lin He and the others, seeing this scene, immediately cried out, their faces pale.
"Boom… Boom…!"
No sooner had the sharp cry sounded than an incredibly powerful force erupted at the initial point of contact. Everywhere on the ground, a layer of shattered rock fragments scattered.
Such a fierce collision directly caused the entire chaotic scene to suddenly fall silent. Even Lin Keng and Yan Kuo, who were fiercely battling on the courtyard wall, retreated several steps, turning their gazes towards Lin Dong and Wu Sha.
"Thud!"
Just as their gazes pierced through the dust-filled area, a figure suddenly flew out, finally falling heavily to the ground, dragging a long, dazzling trail of blood.
"Puchi!"
As soon as that figure landed, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. All eyes instantly converged on him. Then, the entire chaotic scene gradually quieted. Those gazes, in an instant, revealed an expression of disbelief.
Because the severely injured, disheveled person who fell to the ground was not Lin Dong, as they had speculated, but Wu Sha, the second master of the Black Dragon Stockade!
A Heavenly Yuan Stage expert, renowned for his ferocity in Qingyang Town, had actually suffered such a tragic defeat at the hands of Lin Dong!
Such a result, it must be said, was simply too shocking!
