19: Don’t say you are the prince, even if you are the king I will kill you!
The moment Lin Yan's words fell, a terrifying aura that made everyone feel fear instantly emanated from his body.
The sharp Sword Intent raged, causing the surrounding space to emit hissing sounds.
"This... this is Sword Intent!"
At this moment, facing Lin Yan, the ten black-robed experts, including the three Peak Innate Realm Cultivators, watched the surging Sword Intent around Lin Yan, their faces filled with terror.
"The intelligence was wrong; this Young Master is actually a Sword Cultivator!"
The difference in combat power between a Sword Cultivator who has comprehended Sword Intent and an ordinary Sword Cultivator who has not is like heaven and earth.
What's more, as a Sword Cultivator, their combat power is inherently much higher than that of ordinary Cultivators!
"What are you all afraid of? He's just one person! He's merely a Qi Refining Realm Sword Cultivator; isn't it easy for the ten of us to kill him?"
"Everyone, attack him together!"
As soon as the words fell, the ten black-robed figures immediately surrounded Lin Yan again, simultaneously unleashing powerful offensives to attack him.
At this moment, Liu Mei, who was behind Lin Yan, saw this scene and no longer cared about being shocked by Lin Yan's Dao of Sword talent or her own injuries; she immediately endured the pain in her body and joined the battle.
"Hmph!"
Facing the terrifying attacks of the ten people, Lin Yan merely let out a cold snort, then raised the long sword in his hand, and with a burst of terrifying Sword Intent, he directly slashed out.
Puff! Puff!
Aside from the three Peak Innate Realm experts who sustained minor injuries, among the remaining seven Innate Realm black-robed experts, the Innate Sixth Stage expert had already lost the ability to move.
As for those Innate Fifth Stage and Third Stage Cultivators? Of course, they couldn't block Lin Yan's terrifying sword strike and turned into a sky full of blood mist.
"Inn... Innate Third Stage Peak!"
"This Young Master is not a Qi Refining Realm expert at all!"
The three Peak Innate Realm experts covered the wounds on their chests with their hands, staring at Lin Yan with horrified faces, unable to help but exclaim in fear.
If he were a Qi Refining Realm expert who had comprehended Sword Intent, they might still be able to kill him based on the difference in strength.
But if he was an Innate Third Stage expert who had comprehended Sword Intent, then no matter how many more people they brought, their only outcome would be death.
Escape!
After realizing Lin Yan's terror, the three Peak Innate Realm black-robed experts no longer had the courage to continue fighting.
What a joke, a Lin Yan who had comprehended Sword Intent could easily suppress them, let alone with a Peak Innate Realm Liu Mei also present.
If they didn't escape now, once Liu Mei fully recovered from her injuries, only death awaited them.
"Senior Sister, I'll leave the rest to you!"
After Lin Yan left a message for Liu Mei, he immediately pursued them.
With the Second Stage Peak Sword Intent empowering him, his speed was no less than that of a Peak Innate Realm expert! Therefore, it wasn't long before Lin Yan saw the figures of the three.
However, Lin Yan had no intention of showing himself; instead, he silently followed the three all the way back into Dan Saint City.
After passing through several secluded streets, Lin Yan, concealing his aura, finally found the three black-robed figures on an empty street.
"It really is you!"
However, when Lin Yan saw the person meeting with the three black-robed figures, a strong killing intent immediately flashed in his eyes.
The person meeting them was the personal attendant who always followed Wu Heng.
In other words, the person behind the plot to kill him was none other than the previously refined Wu Heng!
"If others don't offend me, I won't offend them! Since you've made your choice, then you must be prepared to bear the consequences!"
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Lin Yan quickly disappeared from his spot and headed straight for Wu Heng's residence.
Since Wu Heng had given him his address when he tried to recruit Lin Yan earlier, it saved Lin Yan a lot of time now!
...
"Alas! What a pity, after today, the world will lose a peerless Dao of Alchemy Prodigy!"
On the pavilion, Wu Heng slowly sipped his spiritual tea, then looked out at the horizon, sighing with emotion.
"Heh heh, Brother Wu, how elegant! You still have the mood to drink tea!"
However, at this moment, a voice carrying cold killing intent suddenly sounded from behind Wu Heng.
The abrupt sound directly startled Wu Heng, almost making him drop the teacup in his hand; he immediately turned around and looked at the familiar figure, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Lin Yan, aren't you already... How is this possible!!!"
Lin Yan, holding his long sword, directly sat down in front of the stone table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and slowly savored it.
This Wu Heng was merely an Innate Fourth Stage Cultivator, posing no threat to Lin Yan whatsoever.
"You mean, at this moment, I should have already been silenced by the people you arranged, right?"
"I'm the kind of person who, if others respect me an inch, I respect them a foot, but if someone tries to scheme against me from behind with malicious intent, then I'm sorry, once I discover it, the consequences will be very severe."
Wu Heng was so frightened by the sharp killing intent emanating from Lin Yan that he stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.
The fact that the ten Innate Realm experts he sent out failed to resolve him was enough to explain everything.
"Heh heh, Brother Yan, this is all a misunderstanding!"
However, Lin Yan gave him no chance to explain, directly placing his long sword on Wu Heng's neck, and said indifferently.
"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Looking at Lin Yan's unwavering gaze, Wu Heng finally felt fear, and at the same time, a surge of suppressed anger rose within him.
He, the Young Master of the Martial King Manor, had always been the one to decide the life and death of others; when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He immediately reprimanded coldly.
"I am the Heir of the Martial King Manor; if you dare touch a single hair on me, the entire Martial King Manor will not let you go!"
"Moreover, my Martial King Manor is backed by a powerful force! If you dare touch me, then the entire Northern Region will have no place for you to hide!"
"At that time, not only you, but even your small Qingyun Sect behind you, will be annihilated!"
Upon saying this, Wu Heng gradually calmed down, no longer appearing so frightened; instead, he stared at Lin Yan with a sneer, still calmly drinking his tea, as if he was certain that Lin Yan wouldn't dare to act.
Hearing this, Lin Yan's brows furrowed deeply, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified as he looked at Wu Heng.
"You are now a fish on the chopping block, at my mercy; I really don't know where you get the courage to speak to me like this? Liang Jingru?"
Puff!
As his words fell, Lin Yan swept his sword, and a head with an expression of disbelief and terror flew out.
"Don't just say you, an Heir of the Martial King Manor; even if your father, the Martial King, provoked me, I would still cut him down without hesitation!"
