With a single step into the void, the God of Slaughter descends upon the Liu family mansion!

Lin Jianguo looked at his son's eyes, which were so cold they lacked even a shred of emotion, and his heart jolted!

He knew that Lin Yuan wasn't joking.

He wasn't acting on impulse either.

He had truly developed a Killing Intent!

It was an absolute Killing Intent from a supreme being who looked down upon all living things!

Lin Jianguo fell silent for a moment.

His iron-blooded Killing Intent, powerful enough to make the heavens and earth change color, slowly receded.

He knew that his son had grown up.

He had his own principles and his own invincible Dao.

He shouldn't interfere too much.

He only needed to stand behind his son.

If the sky fell, he would help him hold it up!

If gods and demons descended upon the world, he would accompany him to slaughter them all!

"Fine."

Lin Jianguo nodded heavily, his voice more solemn than ever before.

"Go."

"One hour."

"If you haven't returned after one hour..."

"...I will personally lead a million-strong army to trample the Liu family and raze everything within a hundred miles to the ground!"

His voice was powerful and resonant!

It was filled with unquestionable dominance and... doting!

If my, Lin Jianguo's, son wants to kill, then let him kill!

If he kills people, this old man will shoulder whatever massive trouble comes his way!

"It won't take an hour."

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a faint arc.

"Just killing a few ants; it'll be quick."

As his voice fell...

...his figure began to turn illusory and distorted under Lin Jianguo's gaze.

It was as if the space beneath his feet had become a calm lake with a stone thrown into it.

Ripples of profound mystery spread out in circles.

In the next second...

Buzz—!

Lin Yuan's figure simply vanished into thin air!

There wasn't the slightest ripple of spiritual energy.

There wasn't the slightest trace of space being torn.

He was just gone.

It was as if he had never belonged to this space.

Lin Jianguo looked at the empty courtyard, his pupils suddenly shrinking!

This is... the Kunpeng Free-Roaming Steps? When did Lin Yuan master such a Divine Ability!

...At the same time.

The Liu Family Manor.

Inside the meeting hall, the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

Liu Qingtian sat in the main seat, his sinister face twisting slightly from tension and anticipation.

His fingers were tightly clenched around the armrests.

He was waiting!

Waiting for news from the Divine Court!

Waiting for the news that the little beast named Lin Yuan had his head cut off!

He had gambled everything!

As long as Lin Yuan died, the Lin family would surely be enraged, but they would also be severely weakened in their Origin Qi by the loss of their most important heir!

At that time, the Divine Court could take advantage of the situation!

And his Liu family, as the greatest contributor, would receive unimaginable rewards!

He would soar to the heavens in a single bound!

Just as he was immersed in his crazed fantasies...

"Fa... Family Head! Something's wrong!"

A servant came rushing in from outside, crawling and stumbling, his face filled with Fear that reached his very marrow!

"Family Head! The... the Soul Lamp in the Forbidden Ground has shattered!"

Boom!!!

These words were like a bolt of thunder from the Nine Heavens, striking Liu Qingtian squarely on the crown of his head!

The Soul Lamp... shattered?!

That Soul Lamp was connected to the token he had given to the Divine Court assassins!

A shattered lamp meant... the mission had failed!

The two top assassins of the Meridian Opening Realm he had sent out were dead!

"No... impossible... this is absolutely impossible!"

Liu Qingtian suddenly stood up from his chair and let out a shrill, disbelieving roar!

Those were two powerhouses of the Meridian Opening Realm!

They were the Divine Court's top assassins!

How could they possibly fail at killing a mere brat in the Qi Sea Realm?!

However...

...before he could even recover from this massive blow...

...a cold, lazy voice that seemed devoid of any worldly emotion, like a death knell from the Nine Netherworlds...

...rang out clearly over the entire Liu Family Manor!

"Liu Qingtian."

"I'm here."

"Get out here and meet your death."

Shua!

In an instant!

All the blood in Liu Qingtian's body seemed to freeze!

He rushed out of the hall and looked up.

He saw that atop the tall gatehouse of the Liu Family Manor, which was cast from refined iron...

...a young figure was standing quietly with his hands behind his back.

The moonlight spilled over him, stretching his shadow very, very long.

He stood there so casually, yet he seemed to be the sole Dominator of the entire world!

It was indeed Lin Yuan!

He... how could he be here?!

Shouldn't he be at the Lin family home?!

From the death of the assassins to his appearance here... it had only been a few breaths of time!

How did he get here?!

Did he fly?!

No! Even a powerhouse of the Meridian Opening Realm couldn't be this fast!

Endless Fear, like a cold tide, instantly submerged Liu Qingtian's heart!

"Stop him!!"

"Everyone! Go! Stop him for me!"

Liu Qingtian let out a hysterical, frenzied roar!

He knew he had no way out!

Today, either Lin Yuan would die, or his Liu family would perish!

"Kill him! Whoever can kill him! I, Liu Qingtian, will reward you handsomely; Cultivation resources, divine weapons, and Sharp Weapons—I have everything!"

Under a heavy reward, there will surely be brave men!

In an instant!

The entire Liu Family Manor was in a complete uproar!

Countless figures surged out frantically from every corner!

Liu family guards!

Liu family Enshriners!

Death Soldiers raised by the Liu family!

There were as many as several hundred people!

The eyes of every one of them flickered with greed and madness!

They were like a black torrent, carrying a surging Killing Intent as they swept toward the figure on the gatehouse!

"Kill!!!"

The earth-shattering battle cries almost overturned the night sky of the Yan Capital!

However...

...facing this terrifying formation that would make any powerhouse turn pale...

...Lin Yuan's face still bore that same calm expression as always.

He just impatiently picked his ear.

"So noisy."

Then...

...he raised his foot.

...and lightly stomped down.

Buzz—!

There was no world-shaking loud noise.

Nor was there an earth-shattering explosion of energy.

An invisible yet terrifying ripple, seemingly containing the might of the entire world, erupted from the sole of his foot and spread out like a water wave!

Wherever it passed...

...time seemed to stand still.

The expressions on the faces of those hundreds of frantically charging Liu family guards instantly froze!

Their bodies were as if a freezing spell had been cast on them, stiffening in place!

Immediately after...

...Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!... a series of dense sounds, like rain hitting banana leaves, suddenly rang out!

Those hundreds of Liu family elites, whether they were guards of the Qi Sea Realm or Enshriners of the Meridian Opening Realm... their bodies shattered like fragile porcelain under that invisible ripple!

They turned into a mist of blood that filled the sky!

In an instant!

The wide square in front of the Liu Family Manor was completely cleared!

Only severed limbs and a nauseatingly thick smell of blood remained on the ground!

Deathly silence!

The entire world fell into a deathly silence!

Liu Qingtian stood blankly at the entrance of the hall.

His mouth was agape, and his eyeballs were bulging so much they almost popped out of their sockets!

He looked at the mess on the ground and then at the figure still standing atop the gatehouse, completely unstained by a single speck of dust.

His mind went blank!

One stomp!

Just one stomp!

The hundreds of elites his Liu family was so proud of!

They were just... gone?!

They hadn't even managed to touch the corner of his clothes!

What kind of power is this?!

Is this power that a human can possess?!

Just as his Divine Soul was shattering and his courage was failing him...

...Lin Yuan's cold voice slowly rang out once more.

"The noisy flies have been cleaned up."

He lowered his head, his gaze piercing through the distance of several hundred meters and landing precisely on Liu Qingtian.

"Now, it's your turn."
