A muffled sound, like a cannonball exploding amidst a tranquil lake. The entire private room shook violently in an instant. Zhong Xinci stopped speaking halfway, unable to continue. She turned her head and looked at the figure flying backward, taking a deep breath. She had seen Lin Tian wielding Sword Qi in fury, killing a Fake Core Realm cultivator, and controlling a sword to cut through a giant mountain, his power unmatched. She could tell that Lin Tian’s cultivation had advanced further. The surge in strength was evident. Still, as she watched Lin Tian send Guo Yi, the Blood Demon from the North Continent’s Demon Path and a Fake Core Realm cultivator, flying with a single palm, she couldn’t help but feel shocked. Huang Long, Ye Shenhao, and Zhang Zhenbin all turned their heads abruptly, following the sound. They just happened to see Guo Yi being tossed out like a garbage bag. And the attack Guo Yi suffered was just a casual palm from Lin Tian. It seemed as if there was no strength, yet at that moment, it struck like thunder across the sky, with immense power gathering and exploding instantly. Such a scene caused Huang Long and the others’ expressions to freeze. They thought Lin Tian stepping up was a suicidal move. Later, as they gathered from Zhong Xinci’s words, they began to suspect the young man before them might be extraordinary. But, they couldn’t possibly imagine that the young man himself had such terrifying strength. At such a young age, being so arrogant, he must either come from an uncommon background or be a brainless fool. But it turns out, the young man belonged to neither of those categories. He turned out to be an unparalleled powerhouse, a giant in the Cultivation World! Blood Demon Guo Yi was a great Demon cultivator in the North Continent, possessing a Fake Core Realm cultivation, considered among the top-tier powerhouses in the entire North Continent Cultivation World. With a single move, Huang Long and the others could be gravely injured or killed. The young man casually sent Guo Yi flying, crashing to the ground like a dead dog. The result was entirely contrary to their expectations and imaginations. Huang Long and the others’ faces stiffened, their hearts awry. "Oh my God... Lin... Senior Lin is a Golden Core Stage cultivator?" Newest update provided by N()velFire.net Mooo Zishui, hiding at the corner of the tea table, widened her beautiful eyes, exclaiming in surprise as she stared fixedly at Lin Tian for a while. Then she turned to An Jingxuan with astonishment. An Jingxuan also took a deep breath, then nodded heavily to Mooo Zishui: "Junior Sister Mooo, you should remember the destruction of the Desolate God Sect!" "Of course, but during that time, Senior Brother Cheen and I had left Thousand Mountain Plain for training and couldn’t witness the scene ourselves! After returning, hearing about the fall of Desolate God Sect still felt like a dream..." Mooo Zishui was puzzled why An Jingxuan mentioned the destruction of the Desolate God Sect but nodded, then her face showed surprise, and her beautiful eyes widened again in shock: "Senior Sister An, you mean the destruction of the Desolate God Sect back then was the doing of the Lin Senior who’s about our age now?" "Yes, it was Senior Lin! Back then, he controlled the sword across the air, slaying numerous powerhouses of the Desolate God Sect, his bearing peerless! Junior Sister, you don’t know how shocking the scene was back then; perhaps I’ll never forget it in this lifetime!" An Jingxuan trembled at the thought of the Desolate God Sect’s destruction at the Thousand Mountain Plain and sighed, saying, "Otherwise, why do you think we’d respect Senior Lin so much? Such a person, even Master holds reverence for him..." "He really is a Golden Core Senior! Oh my, he might be around my age, maybe even a few years younger!" Mooo Zishui stared with her beautiful eyes at Lin Tian’s erect back, a hint of admiration gradually replacing her expression unknowingly, "Also... and he’s a Golden Core Senior who can kill enemies by controlling a sword! Senior Sister, I’ve never seen a real Flying Sword since I was little!" Watching Lin Tian send Guo Yi flying with a palm, Tuoba Yun, Wan Kuang, and Wang Gu, along with others, found their sneering and arrogant expressions freezing instantly. They stared blankly at Lin Tian for a while. Then they looked at Guo Yi, heavily injured on the ground, and showed confusion on their faces one by one. They were bewildered, unable to comprehend the situation before them. The scene was completely unexpected for them. This disparity caused them to fall into chaos. Guo Yi was a great Demon from the North Continent, a giant in the Demon Path, a top-tier cultivator in the Cultivation World, a dignified Fake Core Realm cultivator, yet he was defeated? Defeated by a young man! A blond kid, a mere teenager! "What... what did you do?" Tuoba Yun and Wan Kuang managed to recover somewhat, turning to Lin Tian demanding answers. But Wang Gu and the others shivered a little. If they still didn’t understand what was happening, they had truly lived in vain. "Who... who are you?" However, as a Loose Cultivator from the Yanjing Territory of the North Continent, Wang Gu was unwilling to submit, questioning Lin Tian. Lin Tian completely ignored him, his cold gaze settling lightly on Guo Yi struggling on the ground, the latter still surrounded by chilling Demonic Qi. However, now the Demonic Qi on him scattered like broken cotton, in disorder. Guo Yi’s black robe and cloak were already broken, his body covered in scars, stained with blood. The hand he had struck towards Lin Tian now hung empty. His cultivation was shattered and scattered, directly crippled by Lin Tian’s strike. Compared to Wang Gu’s questioning, Guo Yi trembled all over, moving arduously for a long time, then finally knelt crookedly before Lin Tian. "Nobody Guo Yi, greets the Golden Core Ancestor!" Guo Yi’s body shook like a sieve, slowly bowing long, prostrating on the ground, respectfully to Lin Tian, "Senior, I deserve death, I beg for mercy!" Wang Gu and others’ faces changed completely. Golden Core Ancestor?!!! Oh my God, what have we done! Wang Gu and Ling Feihong’s hearts issued a wailing sound. They shivered all over, hastily kneeling before Lin Tian. "Ju... Junior greets the Ancestor... earlier offense, hope the Ancestor spares our lives!" Their voice carried a plea with endless terror. Even though they were cultivators of the Yanjing Territory, a Golden Core Great Cultivator remained a supreme peak giant like a Divine Dragon never showing its head! Beside them, Tuoba Yun, Wan Kuang, and Elder Tan, who came with Wan Kuang, showed fear on their faces. Muffled sounds were heard, and they all knelt down simultaneously, shivering all over, bowing down, not daring to speak. "I already said, just a mere Fake Core Stage, nothing worth mentioning! Killing you, I can do with a single palm!" Lin Tian ignored Tuoba Yun and Wang Gu, his cold gaze on Guo Yi, speaking coldly: "As for sparing your life... you also said before, only dead men can be dissatisfied, and only dead men don’t speak! I... why should I spare you?"
