96: Chapter 96 Why are you laughing now?

Amidst this violent explosion, Lin Shen's jinglei flying sword retreated, and that massive ice cone also burst apart, transforming into fragments of ice all over the sky and dissipating between heaven and earth.

The very instant of the explosion, Lin Shen's figure flickered rapidly, directly appearing above the head of that Shangyang Sect Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

With a wave of his sword finger, the terrifying power of thunder radiating in the air condensed into Sword Qi, heading straight towards that Shangyang Sect Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Pfft!

That Shangyang Sect Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator didn't react at all, his eyes still carrying a hint of confusion and shock.

In his bewildered gaze, strands of fierce Sword Qi directly and rapidly shredded his skull.

Accompanied by a sound of pfft.

That Shangyang Sect Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator's skull was directly cut into countless fragments, with countless yellowish-white matter scattering all over the ground.

"Dead, all dead!"

Everyone present looked at this scene before them, involuntarily feeling a wave of chill in their hearts.

How long had it been since Zhang Gongjin died?

Less than ten or twenty breaths, right?

In such a short period of time, the other few Foundation Establishment Realm members of the Shangyang Sect actually all died one by one at Lin Shen's hands.

How could this not make everyone feel chilled to the bone?

Although the rules among the Five Great Sects were that life and death were up to fate and wealth was up to heaven, once entering the Secret Realm, everyone relied on their own abilities.

But right now Lin Shen alone had slain so many Shangyang Sect Disciples, and there was also the quite formidable Zhang Gongjin; once the Shangyang Sect found out, they would probably never let Lin Shen go in secret.

Thinking that once leaving the Secret Realm, Lin Shen was very likely to be targeted by the powerhouses of the Shangyang Sect, everyone's hearts suddenly felt much more balanced.

They could no longer contend for the treasured herb radiating golden light in Lin Shen's hands, but the price paid to seize that golden-light treasured herb would definitely give Lin Shen a hard time.

"Snatch it, snatch it!"

When the time comes, let's see how you, Lin Shen, will wrap this up.

After the shock, a trace of playful mockery could not help but appear in everyone's eyes.

After leaving the Secret Realm, they would definitely publicize the news at the first moment that Lin Shen successively slew six Shangyang Sect Disciples for a treasured herb.

As for whether Lin Shen would kill them all to silence them, everyone had never thought about this point.

Because in their cognition, no matter how powerful Lin Shen was, what of it?

There were still more than ten Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators on their side; could he possibly kill them all?

What is more, once Lin Shen did this, as long as one person escaped, what Lin Shen would face in the future would be a price of eternal damnation.

Therefore, after a moment of shock, everyone's minds began to become active again, and they once again made moves to fight for the treasured herbs they valued.

The battle broke out once more.

Lin Shen floated in mid-air, his gaze looking at the surrounding Cultivators who were fighting independently and still battling to contend for other treasured herbs, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"These people really don't take me seriously. Are they really not afraid of me silencing them?"

"Or rather, are they too overly confident in their own strength?"

Looking at everyone's behavior, Lin Shen shook his head; regardless of which behavior it was, he absolutely would not allow this group of people to live.

Since they were not escaping, he would satisfy them and let them experience what a truly cruel cultivation world was called.

Strands of terrifying Thundering Sword Qi burst forth from Lin Shen's body.

The Thundering Sword Qi filling the sky shuttled rapidly.

This terrifying Thundering Sword Qi directly shrouded all the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators fighting at the scene like a torrential rainstorm.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Streaks of blood splattered.

In just an instant, several unprepared Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators had their bodies pierced by these jinglei flying swords, falling into pools of blood.

"Lin Shen, how dare you!"

Along with Lin Shen's sudden action, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators present suddenly reacted.

They all looked at Lin Shen before them with looks of disbelief; until now, in their hearts, they still somewhat couldn't believe how Lin Shen dared to make a move.

Was he not afraid that someone among them would escape alive?

Once the news leaked, this kind of action would inevitably suffer strong covert retaliation from the other Four Great Sects.

Even Chiyun Valley, if they didn't want to be targeted by the Four Great Sects, might not necessarily tolerate Lin Shen, this merciless Devil Head.

"Everyone, I am a cautious person. You are not Disciples of Chiyun Valley. To prevent you from leaking the news, I must ask you all to be on your way..."

The words fell.

Lin Shen's even fiercer attacks surged out.

Streaks of Sword Qi blooming with fierce thunder light shuttled through the air, rapidly hunting down these Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators present.

However, which of the Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators able to enter this Secret Realm did not possess some life-saving items on their bodies?

Although they were surprised and terrified, their reaction speed was also extremely fast.

Under Lin Shen's fierce attacks, they successively sacrificed their own life-saving items, intertwining and fighting against the Thundering Sword Qi filling the sky while rapidly fleeing outward.

Until now they finally understood that Lin Shen truly dared to kill them, daring to take the risk of being encircled and suppressed by the Four Great Sects to keep all of them here.

Relying on the protective treasures on their bodies, only a few people perished, and then the remaining dozen or so people rapidly fled outward.

As they rapidly fled into the distance, they laughed wildly and mocked: "Lin Shen, oh Lin Shen, just wait for death! After I leave this place, the news of you wantonly slaughtering Disciples of various Schools will spread out. By then, I'd like to see if you can slaughter all the people in this Secret Realm, and by then I'd like to see if you can escape the joint encirclement and suppression of our Four Great Sects!"

Everyone laughed and mocked.

They had extreme tacit understanding, fleeing in their respective different directions.

Because they knew clearly in their hearts that if they banded together, it was very likely that Lin Shen would catch up and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

But if they fled separately, no matter how formidable Lin Shen's methods were, it was impossible for him to keep all of them here.

Just as everyone proudly wanted to leave this place quickly, having just reached the edge of the oasis land, a huge barrier suddenly blocked their path.

Following closely, a fierce sword light flashed!

In an instant, two more Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators had their skulls lopped off, their bodies falling straight to the ground.

"Laugh, why aren't you laughing anymore!"

Lin Shen's body flickered like a phantom, a token in his hand flashing as he manipulated this huge barrier to block everyone's retreat routes one by one.

He was simply too cautious.

As early as when waiting for the treasured herb to appear earlier, he had already laid down numerous means here in advance.

The purpose was to prevent precious items from being seized by others once they appeared, and he could also rely on these numerous arranged methods to make a move and seize them.

If not for this, relying on Lin Shen's cautious personality, how could he possibly go on such a great killing spree?

It wasn't that he had no scruples whatsoever; rather, under the circumstance of having prepared long ago, Lin Shen knew clearly in his heart that this group of people could not escape, and they were destined to become ghosts under his sword. Therefore, naturally, there were no longer any scruples to speak of.
