98: Chapter 98: Yang Wei's End - Slaying a Sixth-Rank Rank Being

In an instant, Lin Yuan's entire body burst forth with dazzling golden light; his body surface shimmered with a layer of golden radiance.

Behind him, the gigantic, ten-meter-tall golden heavenly god phantom reappeared, exuding majestic divine power, its aura—powerful and mysterious—sweeping across heaven and earth.

In Lin Yuan's hand, the swimming dragon sword spewed out a ten-meter sword gleam, and he suddenly slashed out with a single strike.

A crescent-shaped golden sword qi instantly traversed space, striking Ghost Remnant's black horsetail whisk—it was the Space Dimensional Slash.

Ghost Remnant on the opposite side was already stunned the moment the heavenly god appeared behind Lin Yuan:—

What the heck is this? How can it be so powerful?

The bursts of divine might emanating from the heavenly god phantom made his legs involuntarily go weak.

It's over; I might die here today.---

"Ah!—-"

Ghost Remnant let out a roar of unwillingness, forcibly using the horsetail whisk to block the incoming sword qi strike.

Boom!!

After a loud crash, Ghost Remnant was sent flying backward directly, still clutching the broken handle of his whisk. His body slammed into the refining furnace with a dull thud.

Pfft!

Ghost Remnant spat out a torrent of blood, staring at Lin Yuan with panicked, disbelieving eyes.

"You!—What kind of power is this? You are so weak, how could you unleash such immense power? This is impossible!"

Lin Yuan's current combat power exceeded ten million. After activating Heavenly God Descends, his combat power directly surpassed the standard for a mid-stage Fifth-Tier expert.

Ghost Remnant's Sea of Consciousness was severely injured, greatly reducing his strength. A mid-stage Fifth-Tier expert combined with an Ultimate SSS-level Martial Art could completely crush him.

Even at his peak, he might not have been Lin Yuan's match when Lin Yuan was at full strength, let alone now.

"Impossible? Nothing is impossible. Ghost Remnant, your Reincarnation Cult's sins are heinous. You refined the Soul Refining Banner, and your hands are stained with blood. Although I, Lin Yuan, am not a saint, today I will execute justice on behalf of Heaven! Die!"

Lin Yuan pointed his sword at Ghost Remnant, stomped hard with his feet, and prepared to lunge at his opponent.

"Heh heh heh heh—You think you can kill this Venerable One just based on you? Naive! I won't play with you today. Farewell!"

Ghost Remnant let out a strange laugh, and a small black sphere suddenly appeared in his hand, which he immediately smashed toward the ground beneath his feet.

Bang!!

After a loud bang, smoke instantly filled the area, thick smoke billowed everywhere, making it impossible to see anything.

"Lin Yuan, I will return! Heh heh heh heh—"

Ghost Remnant took advantage of the smoke bomb's thick haze and quietly fled.

But the next second.

Puchi!!

In the thick smoke, the clear sound of a long sword piercing flesh was heard, followed by Lin Yuan's indifferent voice:

"Ghost Remnant, you actually got cocky over such a petty trick. I told you, I must slay you today!"

As the smoke dissipated, Ghost Remnant stared blankly at the golden long sword plunged into his heart. Blood spurted wildly from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes began to glaze over as he mumbled:

"You—How could you see my location? This is impossible!"

"Impossible? I don't mind telling you, so you can die knowing the truth. Although your smoke obscured your eyes, it couldn't hide your divine sense. Remember how your Sea of Consciousness was injured at the beginning? Heh heh—That's right, I did it.---," Lin Yuan said softly.

"What? It—It was you! You actually possess divine—"

Tear!!

Lin Yuan didn't wait for Ghost Remnant to finish speaking; he twisted the long sword, directly shredding Ghost Remnant's heart, and then withdrew the sword.

The long sword pointed diagonally toward the ground, blood dripping continuously from the tip. Ghost Remnant before him instantly widened his eyes, his gaze filled with unwillingness, and then his corpse crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up billowing dust.

The leader of the Reincarnation Cult's Kyoto Branch, the early Sixth-Tier martial artist Ghost Remnant, ended his wicked life here.---

...

Qi Tianheng outside the window was too shocked to speak. He had already been stunned when Lin Yuan activated Heavenly God Descends. He had tried his best to overestimate Lin Yuan, but he still only saw the tip of the iceberg.

Once Lin Yuan unleashed his full power, he felt he wouldn't be able to escape Lin Yuan's sword unscathed.---

How long has it been since he met Lin Yuan? For him to have grown to a level comparable to himself—this was sheer fantasy. If he hadn't witnessed Lin Yuan's growth with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

"Brother Lin, are you trying to scare your old brother to death?"

Mu Qianqian had sensed Lin Yuan activating his divine ability back at Qing University, but seeing it up close today was overwhelmingly shocking.

Others might not understand how terrifying a divine ability was, but she did. As the little princess of the Haoyue Star Alliance, even if she hadn't seen it, she had certainly heard of it.

Now, witnessing the legendary divine ability firsthand made her tremble with excitement. Was this the man she valued?---

Mu Qianqian's figure flickered, and she rushed into the factory building. She appeared ethereal, floating gracefully as she flew toward Lin Yuan's parents and younger sister.

After a few flashes, Lin Yuan's parents and sister were all rescued by Mu Qianqian.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly to Mu Qianqian, then looked toward his family.

"Xiao Yuan, are you okay?"

Although his parents were haggard, they still prioritized their son's safety first.

"Brother! Are you hurt? Let me see quickly!"

Lin Anran was being supported by Mu Qianqian; her leg hadn't fully recovered and she couldn't walk independently yet.

"Mom, Dad, Anran, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Lin Yuan held his parents' and sister's hands, his heart aching with guilt because he had subjected them to such suffering. Even now, he blamed himself.

At this moment, Qi Tianheng also rushed in and helped support Lin Tianming.

"Dean Mu, Old Brother Qi, I entrust my parents to your care. I need to deal with Yang Wei, the main culprit, first!"

The two nodded, directly lifted the three of them, and started walking toward the car outside.

Lin Yuan then walked over to Yang Wei. Yang Wei had already been scared unconscious.

Slap, slap, slap!!

Lin Yuan slapped Yang Wei's face a few times. Yang Wei instantly woke up, but upon seeing Lin Yuan so close, he recoiled violently. His wheelchair immediately overturned, and Yang Wei rolled onto the ground.

"You—You—What are you doing?"

Yang Wei crawled backward while looking around. Two corpses lay on the ground: one was his uncle, Ma Biao, and the other was Ghost Remnant, the one with ghost-like abilities.

"You even killed Master Yu? Are you human or a demon? Don't kill me, I know I was wrong. Lin Yuan, I'm nothing. Just let me go. I promise to leave Spring City immediately and never appear before you again. Please, spare me!"

Yang Wei knelt on the ground, constantly begging for mercy, tears streaming down his face, his head repeatedly hitting the floor.

"Spare you? Heh heh—I spared you before, don't you remember? Unfortunately, you didn't cherish it and caused so much trouble for me. Do you think I will spare you again?"

Lin Yuan sneered and approached step by step.

"No! Spare me one more time, the very last time, I promise—"

"Promise? What good is your promise? I only trust the dead!"

Lin Yuan grabbed Yang Wei's neck in one hand and lifted him up. Yang Wei instantly screamed in terror, his eyes wide, his legs kicking wildly in the air.

Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, and with a casual toss, Yang Wei flew into the air and dropped straight toward the refining furnace.

"Didn't you want to burn my family to death? You should taste what that feels like yourself!"

"No!!—Ah!!—"

Yang Wei's figure entered the furnace opening without any surprise, and his screams abruptly ceased.

Lin Yuan threw the corpses of Ma Biao and Ghost Remnant into the refining furnace as well.

Then, with a mighty inhalation, he sucked up all the soul bodies wandering in the space, including the souls of the three of them: Ghost Remnant.

His panel currently showed a remaining balance of 2.6 million ability points.

"Hmph!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, turned around, and slowly walked out of the abandoned factory building.---
