65: Chapter 65 Deadly Threat, Decisive Strike!

Facing the sudden sneak attack, Lin Yuan remained extremely calm.

This was because he already knew that someone was ambushing them in the tree canopy above the prairie leopard pack.

He was unsure of the other party's objective, so he didn't expose them at first.

But after he subdued Liu Ningfei with one move, the person, after a brief moment of stunned silence, quietly moved closer and revealed waves of killing intent.

Lin Yuan didn't understand why the other party wanted to kill him, but since they intended to kill him, he would absolutely not let them leave alive. He wouldn't be soft-hearted because of Qing University's rules.

Lin Yuan's swimming dragon sword instantly stabbed upward, meeting the figure.

But the next second, Lin Yuan's heart suddenly leaped wildly.

Because he was shocked to find that he had actually been immobilized by the opponent, rendering him unable to make any moves.

Lin Yuan felt a fatal threat at this moment. Since he embarked on the path of a martial artist, this was the first time he had felt the threat of death.

In that instant, Lin Yuan quickly calmed down.

"The opponent's strength is immense. Even if this heaven-defying immobilization technique can only hold me for half a breath, it is enough for him to kill me."

Lin Yuan's mind raced. "For now, I can only take this blow head-on. My Blood Refining Realm physical body, combined with the Profound Crystal Spirit Armor Martial Art, I hope it can withstand it. Oh, right! I still have ability points. Profound Crystal Spirit Armor, max it out for me!"

With a thought from Lin Yuan, the Profound Crystal Spirit Armor consumed twelve thousand ability points and directly surpassed the Master level, advancing to the ultimate Supreme Grade.

"Blood Refining! Profound Crystal Spirit Armor!"

He roared inwardly. Lin Yuan's blood immediately boiled. Beneath the S-rank battle suit, his skin became smooth as jade, and his defense was raised to the absolute limit.

Subsequently, a layer of silver transparent armor immediately appeared on Lin Yuan's body surface. The armor enveloped Lin Yuan entirely, and combined with his perfect physique, an overbearing aura spontaneously arose.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Lin Yuan had elevated his defense to the maximum.

Immediately after,

Clang!

A long sword instantly pierced Lin Yuan's throat. The opponent hadn't attacked his heart but the throat, a position with weak defense. It seemed the attacker possessed extremely rich assassination experience.

At this moment, Lin Yuan finally saw the opponent's appearance clearly. It was Huo Ping, one of the two strongest individuals Yan Ziliang had pointed out to him earlier.

A harsh sound of metal friction echoed. Huo Ping was shocked to find that his long sword could not penetrate the defense of the armor covering Lin Yuan at all.

Half a breath passed, and Lin Yuan finally regained his ability to move. A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The swimming dragon sword suddenly shot out a silver light blade—it was the A-rank Martial Art, Space Dimensional Slash.

Slash!

At that moment, Huo Ping was suspended upside down in the air, his long sword still pressed against Lin Yuan's throat, giving him no time to react.

Under Huo Ping's shocked and desperate gaze, the light blade of the Space Dimensional Slash directly cut open his shoulder, and then his body.

"Ah! You!---Impossible!---"

A deep sense of regret flashed in Huo Ping's eyes, but it was too late. He never imagined that Lin Yuan could withstand his full-power attack even while being time-stopped.

And instantly kill him. It was all too late. Huo Ping's body was already split in two in the air, and a sky full of blood rain drifted down, dyeing Lin Yuan's silver armor red.

Thud, thud.

Huo Ping's two body halves smashed onto the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Lin Yuan turned around at this time, his eyes slightly bloodshot.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, and Liu Ningfei sat down on the ground, her face pale.

She was truly too shocked. Lin Yuan had actually killed Huo Ping directly! This killing god, how dare he kill someone inside Qing University's testing space...

The pampered young lady, who had lived a sheltered life, had never witnessed such a decisive and bloody scene of killing. It was normal for her to be scared stiff.

The other few members of her team were not much better. They all retreated fearfully, their eyes filled with horror.

"He---He actually killed Huo Ping," one team member said in shock.

"Too brutal, killing just like that. Isn't he afraid of the academy's sanctions?"

"Huo Ping wanted to kill him first. He was just counter-killing. The academy won't do anything to him."

"Is he really a New Student? He instantly killed the third-rank Huo Ping. Why does it feel like we are the New Students? ---"

Liu Ningfei was stunned. Listening to her teammates' quiet discussion, she felt like an idiot for even attempting to snatch things from such a powerful individual.

The most monstrous genius of their sophomore year had turned into two corpses. What was she?

She used to consider herself a genius, but in front of Lin Yuan, the word 'genius' seemed utterly ridiculous.

At this moment, silver light flickered around Lin Yuan, and the Profound Crystal Spirit Armor retracted, revealing his true appearance.

The swimming dragon sword was sheathed. Lin Yuan swept his gaze over the five people. All five showed expressions of awe. Lin Yuan said nothing, but swallowed Huo Ping's soul body in one gulp before turning and leaving.

Having obtained 2000 ability points, Lin Yuan chased after the direction where the prairie leopard pack had fled...
