185: Chapter 185 Advances to the Second Level of the Profound Realm, Slaughtering a Third Level Profound Realm Realm Expert

Qiao Nana's expression instantly turned cold. She glared at the newcomer and said coldly:

"Xiao Jianren, you are shameless! Who I like is my freedom. I will never marry you in this lifetime! Just give up on that idea!"

"I'm shameless? How are you shameless? Here in this medicinal field, a man and a woman alone, are you planning to force yourself on this pretty boy? Or perhaps let This Young Master take the trouble to satisfy you properly," Xiao Jianren continued to taunt.

"You! ... Xiao Jianren, you insult me like this, I want your life!"

Qiao Nana's face burned with anger. She drew the long sword from her waist and charged toward Xiao Jianren.

She had never met someone she liked. Although many people pursued her, she had always refused them, until she met Lin Yuan.

Not only did Lin Yuan save her clansmen, but he was also young, handsome, extremely talented, and had excellent character. Unlike others, whose eyes were filled with possessiveness the first time they saw her.

When Lin Yuan saw her, his eyes were as clear as water, which gave her a fluttering feeling in her heart.

As a young woman experiencing her first crush, she was no longer a shy girl. Being a bit proactive was for the sake of her own happiness.

Yet, she was insulted as being flirtatious, and this Xiao Jianren was utterly unrestrained, speaking vulgar words in front of the man she liked, directly igniting Qiao Nana's rage.

Just as Qiao Nana was about to reach Xiao Jianren, he didn't make any move. Instead, he spoke faintly to the old man beside him:

"Elder Qian."

Upon hearing this, the old man stepped forward and struck out his palm towards Qiao Nana's long sword.

Bang!!

The long sword let out a sudden explosion. Qiao Nana stumbled back more than ten steps. It was only when Lin Yuan placed a hand against her back that she managed to stop retreating.

Qiao Nana looked at Elder Qian in shock, muttering to herself, "Elder Qian, the Xiao Family's strongest guest elder, such powerful strength..."

"Hahahaha... Qiao Nana, I came today intending to propose marriage to your father, but I didn't expect to run into you here. Perfect! Let's consummate the marriage first, and then I'll formally propose. I don't believe your stubborn old father won't agree!"

Xiao Jianren rubbed his hands like a fly while approaching Qiao Nana with a lewd smile.

Qiao Nana looked at Elder Qian beside her, forced to retreat again and again, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.

She glanced at Lin Yuan, who seemed indifferent, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Would he step in for me? Would he be Elder Qian's match? Was I about to be defiled by this beast Xiao Jianren today?

At this moment, Lin Yuan was at a critical juncture of breakthrough. Since the moment he saw Elder Qian, his spiritual sense had felt pressure from the other party. His strength should be above the Mystic Realm Third Level.

Although Lin Yuan could kill him if he unleashed his full power, doing so would expose his trump card. The starry sky is not like the Blue Star; there are too many uncertainties. Divine abilities, something that invites disaster by possessing it, should be concealed as much as possible.

Thus, only the path of breaking through on the spot remained. transcendent points were directly added to his Martial Arts Level. Rolling torrents of spiritual energy were being compressed into the acupoints of his left arm, slowly forming a vortex.

In his Dantian, a second star had actually formed, and its volume was even slightly larger than the first star.

The data on the system panel had also been updated.

[Martial Arts]: Mystic Realm Second Level

[combat power]: 6 Cores

[transcendent points]: 6

According to the combat power standards for each realm of the Profound Mystery Realm that Chu Yunfeng had told him, Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that his base combat power had already reached the standard for the Mystic Realm Third Level's 6 Cores.

His base combat power alone allowed him to fight one level higher. By activating the Slaughter Domain and the Dantian star, Lin Yuan was confident he could even fight two levels above him.

Lin Yuan's delayed reaction at this moment caused Qiao Nana to feel some despair. Was he really just going to watch me be humiliated?

"Little darling, what's the use of looking at that pretty boy? Didn't you see he's scared stiff? How can such a cowardly man be worthy of your affection? Why don't you just yield to This Young Master? This Young Master will take good care of you, hahahaha..."

Just as Xiao Jianren was preparing to pounce like a vicious dog and Qiao Nana was preparing to fight to the death, an icy voice suddenly rang out in the area.

"Time's up! Little slut, you should be on your way!"

The speaker was Lin Yuan, who had just completed his breakthrough. He threw a punch without giving anyone a chance to react.

Bang!!

Following a crisp sonic boom, Xiao Jianren exploded directly in mid-air, with severed limbs and blood splattering everywhere.

"Young Master!!!"

Elder Qian was suddenly startled and roared. Fury burned in his eyes. This Xiao Family was his money tree, and the Head of the Xiao Family doted on this youngest son.

Now that Xiao Jianren was dead, if he failed to protect him, the Xiao Family might stop providing him with cultivation resources.

Elder Qian's eyes darted around. The only way now was to capture the murderer and hand him over to the Head of the Xiao Family to vent his anger. Perhaps then he could continue to enjoy his comfortable life.

"Kid, no matter who you are, obediently follow this old man to the Xiao Family to confess your crime, or I will kill you with this palm strike right now!" Elder Qian threatened.

"Old Bastard, it's not that I look down on you, but you think you can kill me with your palm? That's simply laughable!" Lin Yuan sneered.

"Arrogant brat, you'd better ask the girl beside you who this old man truly is," Elder Qian said proudly.

Lin Yuan glanced at Qiao Nana, who looked anxious at the moment. "Lin Yuan, why did you just kill Xiao Jianren directly? Now we've caused huge trouble!"

"If I killed him, I killed him. Since I dared to kill him, I am not afraid of retaliation from his family," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"No, you must find a way to leave here quickly. The Xiao Family is the largest medicinal material purchasing merchant within Tianxing City, with immense power. This man is the Xiao Family's most formidable guest elder, Elder Qian of the Mystic Realm Third Level. We are absolutely no match for him. Hurry and escape!" Qiao Nana urged anxiously.

"Heh heh... Third Level? Is Third Level very strong?" Lin Yuan scoffed.

"Lin Yuan, Third Level is almost the strongest combat power in Tianxing City. You are only at the First Level. Please, do not be impulsive. Preserving your life is what matters most," Qiao Nana advised.

"Kid! You are truly ignorant. Is Third Level strong? In this vast starry sky, of course it's not considered strong, but in front of a kid like you at the First Level, it's overwhelmingly strong, hahahaha..." Elder Qian laughed wantonly.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth curved slightly. "Then I would like to experience just how overwhelmingly strong it is? Old Bastard, you must not disappoint me."

"Good, good, good! How many years has it been since someone in Tianxing City dared to challenge this old man like this? Then this old man will let you experience what true despair is!"

Elder Qian became furious and raised his hand, intending to slap Lin Yuan. However, Lin Yuan's movement was faster than his.

A resounding slap landed first on Elder Qian's cheek, immediately sending the completely unprepared Elder Qian spinning several times in place.

After reacting, Elder Qian was greatly alarmed. From the force of that slap, he could tell that Lin Yuan was definitely a master.

Just as he was preparing to get serious, a sharp stinging pain suddenly shot through his Sea of Consciousness.

"Ah!!"

Elder Qian's mind instantly went blank, and the sound of cicadas echoed in his ears. He had fallen into an unconscious state, which was Lin Yuan's evolved secret technique, [Profound Mystery Carefree Break], attacking his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately following that, under the shocked gazes of Qiao Nana and her little follower, Lin Yuan lunged forward and, with coordinated strikes from both hands, turned Elder Qian's face into a pig's snout.

Just as Elder Qian's consciousness finally recovered, a massive silver giant palm struck directly onto his face.

Puff!!

Elder Qian's chest caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes immediately glazed over. He looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief:

"You!... How could you be so strong? I regret it... When did Linggu Village produce such a heaven-defying young man..."

As the words fell, Elder Qian's breath vanished, and he collapsed on the ground without a sound...
