90: Rolling

Except for some Cultivators with profound cultivation, no one else noticed when Lin Ye appeared before Jiang Chuan.

The greed in the Buddha's eyes grew stronger.

Mystic Moon Holy Master and Chu Wuhai, on the other hand, had solemn expressions, and their gazes towards Lin Ye subtly carried a hint of killing intent.

In contrast, the Lord of Blissful Demons was incredibly excited.

His own Disciple was too outstanding!

It was precisely because he marveled at Lin Ye's excellence that he became so excited that his wounds seemed to burst open and bleed, and he quickly used spiritual power to stop the blood.

If the blood stained his clothes, wouldn't others discover that he was injured?

Does he, the dignified Lord of Blissful Demons, not care about his Face?!

Above the arena.

The Spirit Sword in Jiang Chuan's hand erupted with terrifying Sword Qi.

Immediately after, he straightened up and attacked Lin Ye, with spiritual energy surging around him and the arena trembling. The Spirit Sword in his hand transformed into a long rainbow, piercing through the sky, like a brilliant comet striking the earth, suppressing everything.

Jiang Chuan held nothing back in this sword strike; he went all out from the start.

His Middle Stage Soul Transformation cultivation fully propelled the longsword, causing the Void Realm to rumble.

Lin Ye stood calmly before him, showing no intention of dodging.

"This is your own doing. If you die, don't blame me!"

Jiang Chuan's eyes narrowed, and then he slashed down with his sword!

Boom!

The air seemed to be split in two, and the Sword Qi created a phantom in the surrounding space.

The Sword Qi was like a rainbow, and the killing intent was almost tangible.

Facing that terrifying sword strike, Lin Ye raised a hand and said in a deep voice, "Dragon Slaying Art, suppress."

Boom!!!

The moment the terrifying Sword Qi descended, the entire arena vibrated violently, and the array patterns enclosing the arena flickered continuously. Clearly, just the aftershock of this Sword Qi was enough to activate the grand array.

If one were to take this Sword Qi head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Then, a shocking scene occurred.

Jiang Chuan's full-power sword strike was actually caught between two slender fingers.

"Hm?!"

Jiang Chuan's pupils constricted; he clearly couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He had held absolutely nothing back.

The opponent caught it—no, by all accounts, he shouldn't have been able to catch it, but even if he did, it wouldn't have been a problem.

But to catch it with two fingers, that was something he absolutely could not accept.

Lin Ye was expressionless and raised his other hand again.

Buzz...

Spiritual power gathered on his sword finger. Then, a red light flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, and his sword finger slashed down fiercely.

Pfft!!!

A sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

A mist of blood instantly burst forth from Jiang Chuan's body; his limbs, chest, and entire body were injured by the sharp Sword Qi.

There was practically no intact part of him, a truly shocking sight.

Bang!

Jiang Chuan lost consciousness and collapsed onto the stage, his blood splattered everywhere, and the terrifying Sword Qi still raged in his wounds.

Just then, an Elder appeared on the arena.

He first gave Lin Ye a satisfied look, then began to treat Jiang Chuan's injuries.

Everyone present was shocked by Lin Ye's power, especially how ruthless his methods were!

Facing Jiang Chuan, a Sequence Disciple, he displayed an overwhelming combat prowess, but that final sword finger left no good spot on the opponent's entire body.

To be so ruthless to a fellow Disciple, let alone outsiders, no wonder rumors of him eating people spread.

Not to mention him eating a few people now, even if it was said he ate two at a time, no one would find it strange.

Chu Wuhai stood on the high platform and sighed softly.

He inwardly lamented, "Why is the Demonic Path so prosperous? Those ten Sequence Disciples are stronger than the last, and this Lin Ye is simply outrageous. He just broke through to Soul Transformation, yet he can heavily injure a Prodigy in the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation with one strike."

"He even used his fingers to catch that heaven-shaking sword strike? If this child is not eliminated, I fear the Southern Domain will never know peace in the future."

Mystic Moon Holy Master also stared intently at Lin Ye with her beautiful eyes.

"Why do his appearance and demeanor bear some resemblance to Lin Yu? It must be an illusion. Lin Yu is upright, so how could he be similar to him? It seems I've been too tired lately, to have such a hallucination."

The Buddha became even more excited.

"amitabha, the golden light radiating from Lin Ye's fingers just now must be my Buddhist Sect's Indestructible Diamond Body! He indeed obtained the Legacy of Evil Tathagata!"

"He must be brought back to the Buddhist Sect! Tomorrow, no, I'll start tonight! But how to take him away..."

The Buddha fell into deep thought.

Chu Hao was extremely excited: "Lin Ye is indeed powerful. Perhaps only Senior Brother can fight him."

"But that one..."

Chu Hao looked at Xiang Tiange, sensing a mysterious, fated connection from him.

As expected, the two would definitely be enemies in the future!

He just wondered if this would affect his relationship with Lin Ye.

...

Having done all this, Lin Ye stepped off the stage. From the admiring gazes of the Holy Master and the Elders, he knew he hadn't done anything wrong.

Indeed, this Holy Son Grand Competition, besides testing cultivation, also tested one's ability to contend.

Should Righteous Path Cultivators not contend?

If they didn't contend, there would be no Righteous Path or Demonic Path; wouldn't it just be a matter of everyone cultivating their own Dao?

"Lin Ye, you are indeed strong."

Xiang Tiange came to Lin Ye's side with a smile, his tone as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Lin Ye glanced at Xiang Tiange and said softly, "You had a bye in the first round. It seems I won't be able to witness your strength."

Xiang Tiange shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You haven't shown me your true strength either. To speak a bit disrespectfully to the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, here, I only consider you my opponent."

"Also, one more thing: do you remember what I said before?"

"After seeing your strength today, I am even more certain. After the Holy Son Grand Competition ends, I hope you will come with me to the Forbidden Zone."

At this point, Xiang Tiange paused and looked at Lin Ye, clearly waiting for his reaction.

Hearing the words "Forbidden Zone," Lin Ye became interested.

"You want me to go to the Forbidden Zone with you? What's inside?"

As Cultivators, no one is uninterested in the Forbidden Zone. Otherwise, knowing that those Forbidden Zones prohibit all living beings from entering, why are there so many withered bones outside them?

It's nothing but curiosity killing the cat.

The more forbidden a place is, the more it piques people's interest.

Seeing Lin Ye's excited expression, Xiang Tiange smiled, "I truly didn't misjudge you, Lin Ye. After this matter is over, you and I will go to the Forbidden Zone. Let me tell you, last time I got quite a few good things in there."

"But those idiots always like to gang up on me."

"No matter how strong I am, two fists are no match for four hands. Before I could even get more benefits, their big bosses appeared, and I could only call out the Sect Elder to take me back."
