292: I am a man of my word

“Among you, most bear no grudge against me! However, since you all wish for my death, then I shall use the sharp blade in my hand to slay all who oppose me!”

Lin Ruiyang looked at the five fallen corpses, unable to stop himself from letting out an earth-shattering roar.

At this moment, he seemed to be ignited by a raging fire, and the killing intent in his Heart-Nature broke through the sky, sweeping across the world.

“Whoosh…”

Immediately, Lin Ruiyang’s feet were surrounded by profound light, and like a meteor, he shot directly towards the stunned survivors, many of whom were also from the Tiannan Continent.

At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty demon escaped from Hell, and the boundless killing intent scared those people out of their wits, their faces as pale as paper.

They wanted to flee, but found that their bodies were disobedient and unable to move.

“No…”

“Puff! Puff! Puff!…”

Screams rang out continuously, but they still could not make Lin Ruiyang slow down his movements. Blood light shot up into the sky, and cold light swept across everyone’s necks, cutting off their voices and severing their vitality.

“This…”

Outside the Small World, everyone’s faces were filled with astonishment, looking at Lin Ruiyang, who was drenched in blood like a God of Slaughter, and they were all terrified.

In their usual training, they had experienced many life-and-death battles, and their Heart-Nature was mature enough, but when they saw Lin Ruiyang, whose killing intent soared to the sky, they still felt a bone-chilling coldness.

The Xuan Yin Holy Son, who was lying on the ground, his face greatly changed. He had not expected Lin Ruiyang’s methods to be so ruthless, killing so many people without hesitation.

These people all came from major forces. Killing them all would definitely arouse public anger, and reckoning afterward would be unavoidable.

“I, Lin Ruiyang, will not actively make enemies with others, but I will never show mercy to those who raise their blades against me…”

Lin Ruiyang looked indifferently at the fallen corpses, taking firm steps and slowly walking towards the Xuan Yin Holy Son.

“You… don’t come over…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son’s face was full of panic, and he used all his strength to desperately drag himself backward.

“Next, we can have a good chat…”

Lin Ruiyang stopped in front of the Xuan Yin Holy Son, looking down at him as if he were an ant, and said indifferently, “Many years ago, I accidentally learned a skill called Tendon-Splitting Bone-Dislocating Art. I hope Your Excellency can give me some pointers…”

For the Xuan Yin Holy Son to please Yang Yulong, he actually tortured and killed a Taichu Holy Land Disciple on the battle stage. Then he should be prepared for the possibility of being tortured to the point of wishing for death.

“Lin Ruiyang, you need to think carefully. If you kill me, you will definitely face the endless pursuit of my Xuan Yin Sect in the future. Even the Taichu Holy Land cannot protect you!”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son’s expression hardened, and he roared hysterically.

Although he lost this battle, his identity was there. He did not believe that Lin Ruiyang dared to offend the Xuan Yin Sect.

Moreover, since Lin Ruiyang killed so many people today, during the Ten Thousand Dragons Competition, perhaps everyone would temporarily say nothing out of respect for the ancient city’s prestige.

However, afterward, these forces would definitely unite all the Sects to launch a punitive expedition against the Taichu Holy Land.

“You mean I should stand there obediently and wait for you to attack me with swords, or should we all just waste time together and die together?”

Lin Ruiyang tilted his head, looking down at the Xuan Yin Holy Son as if he were looking at an idiot.

Once both parties agreed to a life-and-death battle and entered this Small World, unless one party was completely annihilated, they would not be teleported out, and what awaited them would be mutual death.

Of course, the owner of the Small World could indeed open it at any time during the agreed battle, but violating the preset rules would cost at least fifty years of cultivation.

“Lin… Young Master Lin… Young Master Lin… listen to me… as long as you let me go, whatever you want—Heaven And Earth Treasure, Saint Crystals, Medicinal Pills—I can give them to you…”

Seeing that threats were futile, the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s face showed despair. He frantically took out a large pile of resources and began to beg, hoping that Lin Ruiyang would spare his life for the sake of the treasures.

“As expected of a Saint from a Tiannan Continent force, he indeed has many good things on him! However, if I kill you, these resources will still be mine…”

Looking at the dazzling array of Heaven And Earth Treasure, Lin Ruiyang’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

He had originally thought that this so-called Xuan Yin Holy Son, having cultivated so many subordinates, probably wouldn’t have many good things left on him.

“Lin Ruiyang, don’t go too far! The Xuan Yin Sect’s foundation is beyond your imagination. I advise you to know when to stop…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son was furious. This Lin Ruiyang was simply unyielding.

His understanding of Lin Ruiyang was only that the other party was an orphan who had always relied on himself to earn resources.

Now, facing so many Heaven And Earth Treasure, it should be difficult for him not to be tempted.

Why did Lin Ruiyang’s actions seem to indicate he wanted his life even more?

“Hehehe… I said it before, you’d best not fall into my hands, otherwise, you’ll find it hard even to die!”

Lin Ruiyang put away his Taiyue Sword, raised his hand, and sealed the opponent’s cultivation. A terrifying coldness once again spread from his body.

Immediately, he reached out his large hand, directly grabbed the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s right heel, and squeezed it hard.

“Crack!”

“Ah…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son screamed. His right heel, along with the entire joint, shattered with a bang, turning into a bloody mess.

Especially after his cultivation was sealed, he could not mobilize True Qi to recover. The intense pain caused his entire face to contort, and tears streamed down like raindrops.

“Lin Ruiyang, you bastard, how dare you treat me like this!”

Blood overflowed from the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s mouth, and his face was distorted, yet he still gritted his teeth and roared at Lin Ruiyang.

“Oh… still daring to threaten me…”

Saying that, Lin Ruiyang raised his hand and threw another punch, smashing it towards the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s right calf.

“Crack…”

“Ah…”

As a crisp sound of bone breaking came, the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s tears flowed freely from the pain, and he rolled on the ground, trying to get away from Lin Ruiyang.

“Stop it, you brat, how dare you!”

Just then, outside the Small World, a Xuan Yin Sect Elder suddenly soared into the air and rushed towards the entrance.

In his opinion, it didn’t matter if those Xuan Yin Sect Disciples died in the Small World, and even if Shen Muyun, a direct Disciple, fell, it was irrelevant.

However, the Xuan Yin Holy Son could not have an accident. He was the most Prodigy Disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect’s younger generation, and with the arrival of the Golden Age, he was needed to lead the Disciples to the Peak.

He was the hope for the Xuan Yin Sect’s rise and could not be lost in this Small World.

“Rumble!”

After being forced back by the ripples at the entrance of the Small World, this Elder still did not give up. He clenched his fists and smashed them towards the boundary wall. The powerful attacks produced deafening explosions.

The strong individuals from the City Lord’s Mansion were also startled by the Xuan Yin Sect Elder’s actions and rushed to block the entrance of the Small World.

“Old man Yang, what do you want to do? Do you want to break the rules?!”

“Exactly! The Xuan Yin Holy Son voluntarily signed the challenge letter, so he should be prepared to accept the possible outcome…”

The crowd in front of the battle stage also cast cold glances at this so-called Elder Yang.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why the dignified Xuan Yin Sect Saint was willing to obey Yang Yulong’s command.

It turned out that the person in charge of the Xuan Yin Sect’s team was from the Yang Family.

The control of the Small World was in Xiao Yuanqing’s hands. If he were to break the rules and open it at this moment, it would cost him fifty years of cultivation.

As strong individuals from the City Lord’s Mansion, they were extremely unwilling to see such a thing happen.

“Elder Yang, go back! This is a space created by a True Immortal Rank strong individual, not something you can shake!”

At this moment, City Lord Xiao Yuanqing stood up and said indifferently.

Now that the Golden Age had arrived, nothing was more important than strength. Asking him to pay the price of fifty years of cultivation to break the rules was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, this was his territory, and he was backed by the Dao Alliance of the Tiannan Continent. A mere Xuan Yin Sect Elder wanting to cause trouble here would have to ask if Xiao Yuanqing agreed.

“City Lord Xiao, don’t talk nonsense here! It’s not your ancient city’s people who are dying, so of course you don’t care! Now I’m going to blast open this entrance, what can you do to me?!”

“Could it be that you still dare to go to war with my Xuan Yin Sect and the Yang Family at the same time?”

Seeing that Xiao Yuanqing was actually siding with Lin Ruiyang, the Xuan Yin Sect Elder immediately became furious and issued a threat.

“City Lord Xiao, this is Yang Churong’s personal will and does not represent my Yang Family!”

Just then, Yang Yulong, from the crowd, stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuanqing.

Originally, his plan was to use a Forbidden Item against Lin Ruiyang in the top ten decisive battle. For this, he had made full preparations.

However, he encountered a group of incompetent teammates who started the matter prematurely, completely disrupting his plans.

It was already good that he didn’t hold the Xuan Yin Holy Son accountable. To expect his Yang Family to stand up for him was simply wishful thinking.

Nevertheless, with the Forbidden Item in hand, even if his plan was disrupted, he still had confidence in destroying Lin Ruiyang.

“All of you, shut up! Since it’s a rule, it must be followed! Does Yang Churong think he can oppose everyone alone?!”

Just then, on the high platform, a strong individual in a silver robe took a step forward, and instantly, boundless power filled an area of ten thousand miles, like countless gigantic mountains weighing billions of tons, pressing down on everyone.

In an instant, Yang Churong was suppressed and fell from the Void Realm, pressed firmly onto the ground.

The surrounding strong individuals from the City Lord’s Mansion, seeing the silver-robed strong individual’s strength, their pupils involuntarily constricted sharply.

“So powerful, is this the strength of a Dao Alliance strong individual?”

“This pressure, I’m afraid it has already surpassed the Great Saint and achieved the Venerable Realm…”

“Indeed, the Tiannan Continent’s foundation is incomparable to our Xuanhuang World…”

Yang Churong was sweating profusely. He had not expected his small request to alarm the Dao Alliance Envoy.

What shocked him even more was that the Dao Alliance attached such importance to this competition that even an Immortal Rank strong individual had been dispatched.

In the Tiannan Continent, Immortal Rank was not a common existence. Even the Sect Master of a top-tier force was only at the Immortal Rank.

As for True Immortal Rank strong individuals, they were like pillars of stability for major forces, only appearing when the Sect faced a life-and-death crisis.

“Alright, Yang Churong, go back! Let the young people handle their own affairs! Also, don’t keep talking about going to war. Neither the Xuan Yin Sect nor your Yang Family has the strength to challenge everyone!”

“As for trying to provoke the Taichu Holy Land, that’s simply courting death…”

The silver-robed strong individual looked down at Yang Churong, his face devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if he were stating a trivial matter.

“Whew…”

The moment the silver-robed strong individual withdrew his pressure, Yang Churong seemed to be exhausted, lying on the ground and gasping for breath.

After a long while, Yang Churong finally recovered somewhat, climbing up with a grim face. This time, he had thoroughly disgraced both the Xuan Yin Sect and the Yang Family.

Lin Ruiyang was unaware of the interlude outside the Small World. At this moment, he was punching the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s limbs one by one.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!…”

With a series of mournful screams, the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s hands and feet were broken limb by limb by Lin Ruiyang, and his entire body was a bloody mess.

“Lin Ruiyang, spare me! Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you! From now on, I’ll be your dog. Whoever you tell me to bite, I’ll absolutely obey…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son’s voice was already extremely weak. Several times, he was on the verge of fainting from the pain, but Lin Ruiyang used magic to wake him up.

“Spare you?”

Lin Ruiyang’s expression hardened, and he said sharply, “If I were the one lying on the ground right now, would you spare me?”

“Before, when you tortured and killed my Taichu Holy Land Disciple, weren’t you very arrogant?”

“I am a man of my word. I said I wouldn’t let you die easily, and I will definitely do it…”

Previously on the battle stage, when Zhao Ling’er was defeated, the Taichu Holy Land Disciple begged the Xuan Yin Holy Son to spare her, but he did not stop.

Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, now it was the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s turn, yet he was begging for mercy on the ground like a lapdog.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Thinking of Zhao Ling’er’s plight, a cold glint flashed in Lin Ruiyang’s eyes. He then threw a punch, directly smashing into the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s lower abdomen.

“Ah… you… you actually crippled my cultivation…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son screamed miserably, clutching his bleeding lower abdomen, so much in pain that he was almost unconscious.

With his cultivation crippled, from now on, he was no longer a high and mighty Saint, but a complete cripple.

However, Lin Ruiyang still seemed unwilling to let him go and stepped forward again.

“No… no no… I know I was wrong, spare my life…”

The Xuan Yin Holy Son was scared out of his wits, crawling backward, but still could not escape his fate.

“Ah…”

As a series of screams rang out, Lin Ruiyang reached out his large hand and pulled out the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s ribs one by one.

The crowd outside the Small World felt their scalps tingle, and some female Disciples even fainted from the gruesome scene.

Just as the Xuan Yin Holy Son was on the verge of death, Lin Ruiyang threw a punch, directly blasting the opponent’s head apart. This world once again returned to peace.

“Whew…”

Lin Ruiyang took a deep breath, coldly glanced at the Xuan Yin Holy Son’s corpse, with no trace of pity in his eyes.

This so-called Xuan Yin Holy Son, relying on the Xuan Yin Sect as a powerful backing in his daily life, had committed countless heinous acts. His current fate was well-deserved.
