Robbery? No, it's a misunderstanding, Brother Lin!
“Is he crazy?!”
“Did I not sleep for a day? Am I seeing things?”
“I actually saw a Core Formation Cultivator chasing and beating a Fourth-Tier Vicious Beast Overlord?!”
Everyone discussed animatedly, feeling that the scene before them was too brutal and overturned their worldview. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would believe a Core Formation Cultivator hunting a Fourth-Tier Vicious Beast?
“It seems we underestimated him!”
The two Assessment Elders sighed in amazement, “This old man has presided over the Outer Courtyard assessments for so many years, and I’ve never seen a Disciple as brutal as Lin Dong, a Core Formation Cultivator yelling about eating a Fourth-Tier Overlord!”
“Hahaha, this kid made this old man worry for nothing!”
Elder Hu breathed a sigh of relief, finally breaking into a smile.
Undoubtedly, the previous Fourth-Tier Demon Wolves also died by Lin Dong’s hand.
Lin Dong’s combat power could truly transcend realms, and no one dared to doubt his combat prowess anymore. More importantly, Lin Dong likely had other methods he hadn’t used yet.
…
“Weren’t you fierce just now? Why are you running?!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Lin Dong grabbed the Black Mystic Snake’s tail with both hands, took a horse stance, and with a burst of strength in his arms, swung it around and slammed it heavily onto the ground.
He kept slamming it back and forth like that.
The heavens and earth trembled, sweeping away a patch of ancient trees! The Black Mystic Snake’s head was smashed into a dizzy mess! It lost its combat ability!
Finally, Lin Dong slammed the Black Mystic Snake heavily onto the ground, creating a deep crater.
But Lin Dong was still not at ease, fearing the Black Mystic Snake was playing dead!
Fourth-Tier Vicious Beasts have strong vitality; without fatal damage, they are difficult to kill.
With a flash of his figure, Lin Dong appeared below the Black Mystic Snake’s seven-inch mark, ready to continue his attack!
Sure enough…
Buzz!
At the Black Mystic Snake’s seven-inch mark, a faint light actually flickered, shooting directly towards Lin Dong’s glabella, as if it could shock one’s mind, causing them to fall into a daze.
This was the Black Mystic Snake’s innate Divine Ability, Snake Charm Illusion Realm!
Lin Dong stood frozen in place, his eyes glazed over.
A cold glint flashed in the Black Mystic Snake’s eyes, and its tail swept over, instantly coiling around Lin Dong, about to send him into its mouth.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
In a trance, a bell sound came from Lin Dong’s mind, vast and deep. The bronze bell unleashed its power, dispelling all evil!
“How dare you, if not for the bronze bell, I would have truly fallen for your trick!”
Lin Dong felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly grabbed the attacking snake tail, and with a tearing sound, the snake skin, comparable to a Treasure Artifact, was torn open by his hands. He casually threw the Black Mystic Snake heavily onto the ground.
The Black Mystic Snake let out a sharp roar!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Lin Dong’s brutality made one question if Lin Dong was actually a humanoid Vicious Beast in human skin! Who had ever seen someone tear a Yao Beast apart like this?
“This young master isn’t playing with you anymore!”
Lin Dong knew his approximate combat power was not much worse than some Late Stage Fourth-Tier Cultivators, equivalent to a human Hua Hai Realm Seventh or Eighth Layer grand master!
“Sword, come!”
As the young man’s loud shout fell, a blue cold light pierced through the Void Realm, radiating an extremely sharp Sword Intent.
Clang! Slash!
The sword light flashed, emitting a sound of metal clashing. The cold light sliced across the Black Mystic Snake’s neck, cutting off its head!
Even with its head severed, the Black Mystic Snake’s remains struggled for a long time before the movement ceased.
Buzz!
The bronze bell hung in the air, and Lin Dong controlled it to continuously smash the Black Mystic Snake’s corpse. Once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for ten years. Lin Dong gave the Black Mystic Snake no chance of survival!
Finally, after it was smashed into a bloody pulp, Lin Dong was willing to stop.
He called out to Skinny Monkey to set up the pot and boil water!
Lin Dong cleaned the Black Mystic Snake, feeling that its entire body was a treasure! Its scales could be made into armor! Selling them would definitely fetch a good price!
The snake gall was good; he’d save it for Elder Hu to brew wine.
…
At the same time, in the forest several miles away.
Two male Disciples in the Chongmai Realm traversed through the night, rapidly heading towards Lin Dong and his companion, constantly vigilant of their surroundings.
“The battle is over!”
At this moment, the two suddenly stopped, looking at the distant forest with expressions of great joy, and rushed forward at an even faster speed.
“Quick!”
One person excitedly said, “To prevent anyone from getting there first!”
The other couldn’t help but ask, “Gu Yun, are you sure there’s a chance to pick up a bargain?”
The handsome Gu Yun, in blue robes, said with certainty, “Yes, there definitely is, brother. It looks like it must be two Fourth-Tier Yao Beasts fighting over territory in the distance, fighting to the death.”
“When two beasts fight, one will surely be maimed or die!”
“With a bit of luck, if we pick up a maimed Fourth-Tier Yao Beast, a thousand points will be enough for us to enter the top thirty and become Inner Courtyard Disciples, a sure thing!”
“Even if not, picking up a piece of a Fourth-Tier Yao Beast corpse is still a huge profit!”
“Hmm, I hope it’s truly as Brother Gu said!”
Feng Xing nodded. With their strength, it would be very difficult for them to enter the top thirty. What to do? Only by seeking wealth in danger!
Take a gamble!
Soon, Gu Yun and his companion arrived at the battleground of Lin Dong and his beast. The forest was in a mess, and they saw a huge Black Mystic Snake on the ground.
“Oh my God!”
“It’s actually a Fourth-Tier Overlord Black Mystic Snake!”
Gu Yun and Feng Xing were overjoyed.
But seeing two figures with their backs to them not far away, processing the Black Mystic Snake’s corpse, their expressions couldn’t help but sink, “It seems someone else had the same idea as us and got there first!”
“What should we do?”
Feng Xing looked at Gu Yun.
The two didn’t know if the Black Mystic Snake was dead or alive at the time.
If it was still alive then, that would be a thousand points, which could allow them to join the Inner Courtyard.
Also, the Black Mystic Snake’s entire body was a treasure!
They were unwilling to easily give up the points and the Black Mystic Snake’s corpse!
Gu Yun’s expression turned cold, and he made a slashing gesture across his neck, “Let’s observe the situation first. If these two are weak, we’ll team up and send them out of the competition!”
As for Lin Dong’s cultivation, the two couldn’t discern it.
But they figured since he was with a Chongmai Realm Third Layer Cultivator, his cultivation wouldn’t be too high. The two of them were Chongmai Realm Fifth Layer Cultivators, enough to take down both.
Lin Dong seemed to sense something, his movements paused, and he roared at the darkness behind him, “Who’s there, sneaking around? Get out!”
“Charge!”
“Gentlemen, put down the Black Mystic Snake’s corpse!”
“This is not something you can lay your hands on!”
Gu Yun and Feng Xing both activated their cultivation simultaneously, their figures rapidly sweeping towards Lin Dong, ready to strike at him with thunderous force at any moment!
“Oh, it looks like you’re here to rob me!”
Seeing the aggressive approach of the other party, Lin Dong’s lips couldn’t help but curl slightly. He didn’t expect that after he killed the Black Mystic Snake, someone would still dare to deliver themselves to him.
“Hmm?”
“No, that’s Lin Dong…”
“Stop!”
The moment Lin Dong turned around, Gu Yun’s pupils constricted, and he shouted loudly.
Gu Yun and Feng Xing immediately stopped dead in their tracks, doing a 360-degree spin to steady themselves. Without any hesitation, they cupped their hands towards Lin Dong.
“So it’s our Senior Brother Lin!”
“It’s a misunderstanding, we two were blind and failed to recognize a great person. Please forgive us, Senior Brother!”
The two immediately changed their expressions, some sweat dripping. They had the fortune to witness Senior Brother Lin comprehending Sword Intent at the Sword Stele!
They knew they were absolutely no match for Lin Dong! They didn’t even have the courage to make a move!
Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, “You actually recognized me?”
If they had been a little later, the two would have already been sent flying!
Gu Yun: “Of course, when I first saw Senior Brother Lin comprehend Sword Intent back then, it was truly astonishing. Senior Brother Lin’s Dao of Sword talent is too Heaven-Defying, his astonishing appearance and so on are rare in the world…”
“Then, what did you mean by telling me to put down the Black Mystic Snake’s corpse…?”
…
