An invisible ripple spread across the water. The sea breeze carried its sharp, salty breath. Lin Ley's gaze was like ice; Lin Fen's remained calm, unshaken — as if these twenty attackers were no more significant than the waves around them.

Their indifference enraged the group. They gritted their teeth, closing in. Lin Ley ignored everyone except the strongest cultivator — the one at the Third Stage of Meridian Opening.

"You're the only one worth my time," Lin Ley said, a faint, cold smile touc

  • 51. The Power of the Primordial Spirit

    Lin Ley's voice was unusually cold. Seeing the approaching golden ball, a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Perhaps I would be afraid of you when you reach maturity, but in your current state, you are no match for me. Don't think that just because you are an Awakening Realm expert, I will be afraid of you. Don't you know that I have a special way to deal with you?" With a cold snort, Lin Ley twisted his neck, and sharp claws immediately appeared on his hand.A chilling aura suddenly emanated from Lin Ley's hand, and his eyes instantly turned icy cold. Just as he was about to move, a fair hand grabbed Lin Ley's arm."I cannot tolerate being deceived, and I will never allow anyone to deceive me with any excuse. Unfortunately, your actions have made me extremely angry!"Lin Fen's voice was calm, yet his calm words carried a sharp edge to the air. Lin Ley's hands loosened involuntarily. He looked at Lin Fen, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Be c

  • 50. Breaking the Heart

    The sword moved as the heart desired! Sometimes it was ethereal and otherworldly, sometimes it was bold and decisive; the essence of the sword was wondrous beyond compare. The figure moved like a shadow or the wind, carrying wisps of silvery-white spiritual energy. The hands danced slightly, free and unrestrained, with a touch of innocence, yet without a chilling and imposing aura.Lin Fen, wielding the Seven Absolutes, drew ever closer to the enormous heart. His accumulated mental energy coalesced into a torrent, surging towards the heart that was now contracting and expanding."Gah!" A piercing roar echoed in Lin Fen and Lin Ley's ears. Unexpectedly, the heart of this ferocious beast was as hard as a rock. Lin Fen's attack, which gathered all his mental power, had no effect whatsoever. Lin Fen's eyes narrowed; he took a deep breath, and with a light tremor of his feet, he transformed into a gust of wind and leaped onto the house-sized heart. Without hesitation, the snow-white Seven

  • 49. Metamorphosis

    A monstrous sword aura swept in from all directions, its constantly swirling vortex ruthlessly drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before violently penetrating the Seven Absolute Sword.The blinding light, carrying a hint of heat, forced Lin Ley and Lin Fen to retreat continuously. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time the two reacted, the Seven Absolute Sword had already returned to calm.Lin Fen was about to move, but Lin Ley stopped him, gently shook his head, and didn't say much. He just tightened his grip on Lin Fen's hands. Seeing Lin Ley's reaction, Lin Fen gave up his idea of going to find out what was going on.Above the shimmering, misty spring water, a sword shimmering with seven-colored light hovered continuously, surrounded by white mist, giving the entire sword a somewhat sacred aura. Lin Fen's heart tightened involuntarily; the sword intent emanating from the blade made even Lin Fen, the sword's master, feel a sense of awe.As the s

  • 48. The Mist and the Miasma

    Lin Fen, pale-faced, sat cross-legged to the side, recovering his depleted mental energy. At this moment, Lin Ley gradually came back to his senses, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. He then sat there dejectedly, letting the dripping blood-red droplets soak his body. An endless sense of emptiness and loss welled up in his heart. Scenes from the previous battle still echoed in his mind. He seemed lost in thought, quietly gazing into the boundless darkness.Sitting cross-legged to one side, Lin Fen didn't notice the complex emotions and struggle in Lin Ley's gaze—an expression completely unheard of on the usually cold Lin Ley. Lin Ley took a deep breath, and the stern teachings of his father flashed before his eyes once more."Lin Ley, you must always believe that you are the strongest. No matter who you meet, you will not be defeated. You are a genius that our assassin family has only seen once in a thousand years. If you ever fail, then you need to acknowledge that person as your l

  • 47. The Eye of the Snow

    When Lin Fen opened his eyes, they were filled with a stark white. He was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief and his heart filled with horror. A chill inexplicably rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.Lin Ley's white eyes slowly fixed on the trembling tentacles, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He sneered, "Now you know fear? But it's too late!" Without waiting for a moment to prepare, he transformed into a blur, appearing beside the tentacles in the blink of an eye. His sharp claws ripped apart the tentacles that were still there, completely powerless to resist. The tentacles were like paper, unable to withstand a single blow from Lin Ley.Lin Ley ripped at the ground with his sharp claws, warm blood flying everywhere, scattering fragments all around. Some wriggling, still-living fragments could be vaguely seen, a truly horrifying sight. Lin Ley walked slowly, one foot seemingly pressing on his heart, his claws never ceasing, his pale eyes fille

  • 46. Inside the Beast

    The darkness engulfed the two, their mental powers no longer allowing them to see their surroundings. A chilling, sinister aura, carrying a stench of blood, assaulted their senses. Lin Fen suppressed the nausea rising in his stomach, his gaze fixed intently on his surroundings. Darkness—utter darkness. Lin Fen stretched out his hands, unable to see them at all. The chilling aura emanating from deep within sent shivers down his spine."Lin Ley, what's going on? Lin Ley, are you there?" There was no response from all around. Lin Fen was startled and abruptly shook off whatever was holding his hand. His face turned pale. Only now did he realize that his hands felt strangely sticky. Lin Fen's expression changed drastically.With a swift movement, he leaped to the side, and suddenly, as if sensing something, he staggered and almost fell over.This place was strangely unusual. Outside, it was clearly seawater, but here it was unusually dry. Lin Fen suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep brea
