51: Kill Sun Hu, the beauty is reluctant to leave
Sun Hu exclaimed in shock, "What is this? It can suppress my Core!"
Lin Yuan, recovering from his fright, calmly said, "This is a Core Binding Talisman. It can bind your Core. Once you're hit by this Talisman, you can forget about self-destructing."
Thankfully, he had obtained this Talisman from Song Mian's Storage Pouch earlier, otherwise the entire Deng Residence would have been blown up, and countless clansmen would have died in the self-destruction.
The opponent's words made Sun Hu completely despair. His face turned ashen as he said, "You win. I'm not your opponent. Give me a quick death."
Lin Yuan was surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to beg for mercy?"
Sun Hu retorted, "What's the use of begging for mercy? Will you let me go?"
"No."
"Then isn't the outcome still the same?"
"Even if you don't care about your own life or death, don't you care about the lives of the Sun Family's clansmen?"
"After I die, who cares if the floods rage? What do the lives of my clansmen have to do with me? If I could exchange their deaths for my survival, I would do so without hesitation."
"You truly are a cold-blooded and heartless beast."
After speaking, Lin Yuan swung his sword horizontally, and Sun Hu's head fell to the ground, blood spurting from his neck, staining a large area of the ground red.
"Hiss!"
All three couldn't help but gasp!
Dead!
Sun Hu actually died just like that!
And he couldn't even self-destruct, dying so ignominiously at the opponent's hands!
In a short span of time, a hegemon of Luoxiao City had fallen. This scene was truly too shocking, making it difficult for people to react quickly.
After killing the opponent, Lin Yuan released his Origin Qi to wipe the bloodstains from the sword blade, then turned and said, "My apologies, Clan Leader Deng, for dirtying your house."
Hearing this, Deng Xuan came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Not at all, Young Master, you exaggerate. Your ability to slay Sun Hu has already been a great help to our Deng Family. A little bloodstain can be easily cleaned by us."
Deng Fuxi praised, "Young Master is righteous and noble. This time, by slaying the tyrant Sun Hu, you truly are a great hero of our Luoxiao City!"
Deng Rui also said, "Young Master is highly virtuous! Once this matter spreads, all the common people of our Luoxiao City will sing praises of your heroic deeds!"
Lin Yuan's expression remained normal: "You all flatter me too much. My actions were merely for revenge and have nothing to do with the common people. You don't need to be so reserved. After all, Young Master Deng and Miss Deng and I can be considered acquaintances, right?"
Deng Fuxi smiled sweetly, "I can't believe I'd see Young Master again after our last parting. It truly is fate."
Lin Yuan nodded, "Indeed, there's a bit of fate, but it might just end here."
Deng Fuxi nervously asked, "What does Young Master mean by that?"
"I will return to Cloud Ripple Sect soon, so I won't be staying in the city for many days. At that time, I will part ways with you all."
Immediately, Deng Fuxi's face showed reluctance, "Ah? Young Master won't stay a few more days?"
"No, returning to the city was only to visit my parents. Once that purpose is fulfilled, I naturally need to return to the Sect to Cultivate as soon as possible."
"This..."
Deng Fuxi opened her lips, wanting to persuade him to stay, but she didn't know what to say.
She couldn't possibly say, 'Can I go back to the Sect with you?'
After all, she was not yet a Cloud Ripple Sect Disciple, and her Family had many busy affairs, making it difficult for her to leave for a while.
The most crucial thing was that she had no official status; even if she went, she would have no place to live.
Deng Xuan saw his daughter's reluctance to part with Lin Yuan and, after a moment of hesitation, spoke up, "Young Master, I..."
Just as the words left his mouth, a servant's voice came from outside, "Family Head, three people wish to enter the Deng Family, saying they are looking for Young Master Lin."
"Oh?"
Deng Xuan swallowed his words and changed the subject, "Young Master, are they here for you?"
"Yes, let them in."
"Good."
Deng Xuan immediately instructed the servant to invite them in.
Subsequently, Lin Father, Lin Mother, and Ye Linger also arrived in the main hall and reunited with Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan Older Brother, you ran so fast! Ye Linger blinked and you were gone."
Ye Linger took light steps and quickly came to her beloved's side. She then smelled a strong scent of blood and turned her head to see a headless corpse lying in a pool of blood.
"This... why is there a dead person?"
She covered her small mouth with her delicate hand, her face filled with fear.
Because the corpse had no head, she didn't recognize the person for a moment.
"He is the Sun Family Family Head."
Lin Yuan spoke, revealing the person's identity.
"Sun Family Family Head!"
The two elders and the young girl were stunned.
In such a short time, Lin Yuan had killed the opponent?
This speed was too fast!
"He's a strong expert of the Condensing Core Realm Third Level! Was he just killed like that? Older Brother, you're too amazing!"
Ye Linger turned to look at the young man, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and worship.
"It's merely the Condensing Core Realm Third Level; it's not considered a strong expert. If you Cultivate diligently in the future, you also have the opportunity to reach such a height."
Lin Yuan put away his long sword and spoke calmly.
"Ah? Is it possible for me too?"
Ye Linger was a little disbelieving. She had no Cultivation talent since childhood, so why would the other party say she could open her meridians and Condensing Core?
Lin Yuan just smiled and didn't explain much.
With the powerful effects of the Yin Yang Divine Skill, coupled with the vast Yang Qi he could transmit from his body, even if Ye Linger was a waste body, he was confident he could nurture her into a strong expert.
Deng Xuan suddenly interjected, "Young Master Lin, who are these people?"
Lin Yuan replied, "These two are my parents, and this is my beloved."
He then turned to introduce, "This is the Deng Family Family Head, Deng Xuan, and these two are the Young Master and Young Miss of the Deng Family."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Deng Family immediately cupped their hands and bowed, "Greetings, Mr. Lin! Greetings, Mrs. Lin!"
At this moment, the two elders finally reacted, immediately flattered and said, "Clan Leader Deng, you are too polite! We are mere commoners, what right do we have to accept your courtesy!"
Although the Deng Family's prestige in Luoxiao City was not as great as the Sun and Liu Families, it was still one of the top Families. Now, the Deng Family Family Head was bowing to them, two commoners. If this were in the past, the two elders would never have dared to imagine it.
Deng Xuan kindly said, "Mr. Lin, what are you saying? With such an outstanding child as Young Master Lin, you are naturally noble and distinguished. How can you call yourselves commoners?"
The two elders also understood that their current treatment was entirely due to their son, so they humbly said, "Family Head, you exaggerate. We are, after all, just commoners. It's just Lin Yuan's success that brings honor to us."
Deng Xuan stroked his beard and said, "To be able to raise such a great talent as Young Master, you both have made indispensable contributions. You don't need to belittle yourselves."
Lin Rong waved his hands repeatedly, "Not at all, not at all. We two didn't do anything. It's all thanks to Lin Yuan's own hard work that he achieved what he has today."
Lin Yuan laughed, "Father, please don't say that. If it weren't for you and Mother adopting me back then, how would I be who I am today?"
"Adopted?"
The three members of the Deng Family's expressions subtly changed, clearly realizing something.
