41: Crazy, pure madman

Crack, crack, crack, crack... The golden net, after all, could not contain that Sword Qi Dragon.

Accompanied by the White Dragon's roar, the golden net began to crumble under the immense pressure.

"Hm?!"

Kong Huai's pupils constricted. He hadn't expected Lin Ye's strength to be so terrifying. He couldn't even block the Sword Qi Dragon unleashed by a mere sword-finger strike?!

At this moment, he no longer cared about his image as a gentleman; his Face had become distorted with rage.

He forcefully brandished the refined iron brush in his hand, attempting to block the Sword Qi Dragon.

But the White Dragon swept through everything, directly knocking the refined iron brush from his hand, and then slammed into his body.

Boom!!!

At the last moment, wisps of Dao Rhyme emanated from his body.

A transparent shield instantly enveloped his entire form.

This was a defensive treasure!

Although the defensive treasure successfully blocked the Sword Qi Dragon, the force of the impact still sent Kong Huai flying backward.

He crashed through a pillar before slamming hard into the formation patterns.

The formation patterns within the pavilion emitted a halo of light, almost being shattered.

Many Prodigies gasped in shock.

Regardless of Lin Ye's Realm, his attack power alone was terrifyingly strong. He stood there like a drawn sword.

His dual identity as a Sword Cultivator and a Demonic Cultivator made anyone who wanted to provoke him think twice, wondering if they could truly contend with him. Otherwise, their fate would likely be similar to Kong Huai's.

"Damn... damn it!"

Kong Huai landed on the ground. The Sword Qi hadn't wounded him, but the recoil almost made him spit blood.

He had indeed been careless.

If he had used his full power from the start, he definitely wouldn't have lost so miserably!

Little did he know, Lin Ye hadn't even drawn his weapon yet, and he hadn't moved a single step from where he stood.

"It seems we can't continue negotiating."

Seeing this, several Prodigies shook their heads.

Lin Ye, representing the Demonic Cultivators, had already clashed with Kong Huai, and regarding the auction item, the two sides couldn't reach an agreement at all. There was no point in continuing the discussion.

Everyone would just have to rely on their own abilities.

Some people stood up and left without any hesitation.

If there was no more negotiating, what was the point of staying here?

Each person had come with a mission this time. If they were accidentally dragged into trouble, it would truly be a big problem.

With the thought of 'a Fellow Daoist dying is better than oneself dying,' those people all directly left the gathering pavilion.

Kong Huai looked at Lin Ye, who stood before him with an indifferent expression.

He had lost a lot of Face this time, but what could he do?! The person opposite him was a madman, ruthless in his methods and striking without hesitation, completely disregarding who you were.

Such a madman, you either kill him directly or stay far away from him.

And now was clearly not the time to continue fighting him.

"Kong will remember today's events. Next time... hm?! You're still coming?!"

He had intended to say some harsh words to regain Face, but Lin Ye rushed over again.

In a hurry, Kong Huai once again covered his entire body with the defensive treasure.

Boom!!!

Lin Ye's sword-finger strike slammed heavily onto the light shield, and Kong Huai was once again thrown against the wall.

"I'll smash your turtle shell!"

Boom, boom, boom... attacking with both hands, white light flashed.

Kong Huai was like a sandbag nailed to the wall, and as Lin Ye continuously struck, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall.

"You, you, you..."

Kong Huai never imagined that this person would continue to attack him just because of a harsh word. Feeling the palpable killing intent, did Lin Ye still want to kill him?!

Madman! This was a pure madman!

Thinking this, he no longer cared about Face or anything else, and directly took out a World Breaking Talisman from his qiankun ring.

Om... As the runes appeared, Kong Huai's figure vanished from the pavilion.

Chen Ziyun from the Myriad Demon Cave, who had held a grudge against Lin Ye because of the previous incident, now only had apprehension in his eyes after seeing Lin Ye's crazed demeanor.

Just as Kong Huai thought, no one would go out of their way to provoke a madman, especially a ruthless and powerful one.

"Now this is a Demonic Cultivator~"

Jin Ling'er looked at Lin Ye with a beaming smile, a hint of admiration in her beautiful eyes.

Killing you at the slightest disagreement, that's how a Demonic Cultivator should be. Negotiations? Who's negotiating with you?!

Of course, if he didn't have a penchant for eating human heads, he would be a perfect man.

"Brother Lin!"

Seeing Kong Huai disappear, Chu Hao quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with gratitude: "I didn't expect Brother Lin to confront Kong Huai because of my matter. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word! I will certainly go through fire and..."

"Alright, stop there."

Lin Ye interrupted Chu Hao's long speech: "I didn't act for your sake."

With that, Lin Ye glanced at Ling Ruoqing not far away.

The latter, seeing Lin Ye's gaze, instantly became a little flustered.

But Chu Hao didn't know what had truly happened inside. He thought Lin Ye didn't want him to feel guilty.

Brother Lin is truly a good person!

Chu Hao secretly sighed in his heart. If Brother Lin ever encountered any difficulties in the future, he would naturally be duty-bound!

Ding dong... Outside the west city, thirty li away, detecting host's Bloodline aura... Hearing the System's prompt, Lin Ye suddenly perked up.

Bloodline aura?

The mystery of his own origins?

With this thought, Lin Ye no longer wished to stay here. He didn't even greet Ling Ruoqing, Chu Hao, and the others, turning and leaving.

Everyone watched his departing back, exchanging glances.

"He wouldn't be going after Kong Huai, would he?"

"Could Kong Huai's head be to his liking?"

"No matter what, with such a fierce demon appearing in our Southern Region, the future landscape will likely change!"

"When the Lingxu Battlefield opens, all will be revealed."

"Let's leave first. Anyway, this negotiation has fallen apart..."

Everyone was discussing Lin Ye's affairs. Ling Ruoqing stared blankly at Lin Ye's departing back, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking... On the other side, Lin Ye, having left the pavilion, sped towards the west of the city at full speed.

His figure transformed into a streak of Sword Light, completely ignoring the shouts from behind him.

After exiting the west city gate, he quickly arrived at an open space.

This was the location the System had prompted him about.

"System, you said you detected a Bloodline aura. What is it? Is it my family, or something else?"

"I don't know either. I only detected an aura originating from the same source as you. Now this aura is getting weaker and weaker..."

Just as the two were communicating,

Several figures appeared around Lin Ye.

They surrounded him in the center.

Looking at them, each one had an immortal-like demeanor, with an air of righteousness, indicating they were Righteous Path Cultivators.
