148: The world was shocked!

PS: Yesterday's chapter was too short, so I added three thousand words later. Readers who read it before 1:00 AM, please go back and check it.

As for those who read it between midnight and 6:00 AM, it's best if you could take another look as well, because I made some slight changes after 6:00 AM to improve the plot... Lin Yi, in today's Great Yuan Dynasty, is a well-known mobile treasure trove!

Ever since news spread through the Jianghu over a year ago that Lin Yi had killed Chen Jiangping, obtained emperor wus final edict, and defeated the Heavenly Mountain Sect's Innate Grand Elder Chu Chuan while only being at the First Rank, the current Yuan Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty has been furious.

Following that, he not only executed Marquis Huailin Chen Zhao for his incompetence but also issued a public bounty.

The bounty stated that within the Great Yuan Dynasty, any expert below the Innate Golden Core Realm, regardless of who they were, who killed Lin Yi and brought his head to the Yuan Emperor for confirmation...

The Great Yuan Dynasty would not only immediately appoint them as the Great Yuan State Preceptor, with a status equal to the Yuan Emperor, but would also provide full assistance to help them Breakthrough to the Innate Golden Core Realm!

Great Yuan State Preceptor!

Innate Golden Core!

What kind of temptation was this?

Let alone Black and White Impermanence, even the top ten or top five of the Earth Ranking, or any Xiantian Golden Core Realm expert on the Nine Provinces Continent, would go mad for it.

And now, this Lin Yi, who had driven countless Xiantian Golden Core Realm Grandmasters into a frenzy, had appeared right before them. How could the two of them not be excited?

At this thought, the short, dark old man, Black Impermanence, stared intently at Lin Yi, fearing he might escape, while threatening the nearby Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng:

“Chen Heng! This Lin Yi belongs to us two siblings. You are not allowed to make a move later. If you try to steal the credit from us, we will kill you first before dealing with Lin Yi, do you hear me!”

“Black and White Impermanence, you...”

Hearing this, Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng's expression changed, his heart filled with extreme anger.

He craved Lin Yi just as much as Black and White Impermanence did!

After all, this was his only chance to Breakthrough to the Innate Golden Core Realm. If he missed it, he might never have the hope of touching the Innate Golden Core Realm in this lifetime.

But in terms of strength, he was indeed no match for Black and White Impermanence, and those two had always been incredibly crazed.

If he really dared to compete with them for the credit, they truly might kill him first before killing Lin Yi.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, the Marquis of Chu Zhuang could only snort coldly:

“Humph! I understand!”

“Jie jie jie! Very good! Very good!”

Seeing this, the short and dark Black Impermanence couldn't help but laugh loudly:

“Today is the day we, Black and White Impermanence, make our fortune! Little sister, let's go together! Once we kill him, I will let you reach the Innate Golden Core Realm first!”

“Yes, Brother!”

Greed and madness flashed in the eyes of the tall, thin old woman, White Wuchang. She and Black Impermanence then attacked simultaneously, striking toward Lin Yi with their palms.

“Myriad Ghost Divine Palm!”

The two roared, their sharp, piercing voices hurting the eardrums.

At the same time, a surge of pitch-black, foul-smelling black Qi suddenly appeared in front of them, instantly shrouding most of the underground secret chamber.

Within the infinite black Qi, Hell ghosts wailed and howled as they fiercely charged toward Lin Yi.

“Black and White Impermanence's Myriad Ghost Divine Palm has actually improved again.”

Seeing this terrifying palm strike, the nearby Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng, felt a chill in his heart:

“If Black and White Impermanence could only be considered in the top thirty of the Earth Ranking before, they might now barely be able to enter the top twenty-five.”

“A normal Peak Xiantian True Essence Realm expert would die upon contact! Even someone like me, at the Middle Stage of the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, would likely be heavily injured by this strike!”

“These two old fellows are truly terrifying. Lin Yi is dead for sure!”

Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng, thought to himself, instantly sentencing Lin Yi to death in his mind.

But—

“Swish!”

Just as Chen Heng's thought finished, a brilliant saber light had already sliced through the air.

Inside the secret chamber shrouded by endless black Qi, a saber light dozens of feet long, composed entirely of countless stars and dazzling to the point of being eye-searing, suddenly descended. It was as if the early morning sun was pouring down endless sunlight, instantly dispersing the infinite black Qi.

Simultaneously, under that astral saber light, the howling ghosts were like snow under a blazing sun, crushed and melted by the stars in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

Finally, the power of the endless astral saber light converged and crashed heavily onto the two pairs of pitch-black hands of Black and White Impermanence.

“Clang! Boom!”

The sound of metal clashing and a massive explosion rang out almost simultaneously in the secret chamber.

Then, the stone walls of the entire chamber began to crack and shatter under the terrifying aftershocks of power, with countless rocks and powder falling down.

As for the center of the battlefield, under Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng's unbelievable gaze, the originally powerful and confident Black and White Impermanence were now flying backward like meteors. They smashed through underground stone walls one after another, finally collapsing in a secret chamber over a hundred meters away.

“This...”

“Boom!”

Seeing the powerful Black and White Impermanence defeated in a single move, Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng, was instantly stunned, his mind going completely blank:

“How is this possible! How is this possible! Black and White Impermanence were actually defeated by a single saber strike! What kind of strength is this? Top ten of the Earth Ranking? Or top five?”

Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng, found it unbelievable.

“I, I...”

On the other side, Black and White Impermanence struggled to prop themselves up. Looking at the deep saber wounds on their hands that revealed bone, their eyes widened in utter disbelief.

One must know that their sibling pair's hands had been tempered through a thousand trials and used countless precious materials to cultivate!

In terms of hardness, they were definitely comparable to a Low Grade Innate divine weapon.

Yet now, they had been slashed like this by a single strike from Lin Yi. This... even the top five of the Earth Ranking wouldn't have this kind of strength!

What exactly was that saber in Lin Yi's hand? And how could his strength be this powerful?

Black and White Impermanence were shocked beyond measure. However, for them right now, none of that mattered anymore.

The important thing was that they only needed to know one thing—Lin Yi was not someone they could contend with!

“Little sister, run!”

Inside the chamber, Black Impermanence suddenly roared. He and White Wuchang then scrambled up, their True Essence surging to form a powerful shield around their Physical Body. They then crashed through the stone ceiling and fled toward the outside at high speed.

“Run! Yes! I need to run too!”

Seeing this, the already terrified Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng, finally reacted. With a face full of horror, he hurriedly tried to follow Black and White Impermanence in fleeing.

But before he could move, in the next instant... “Hela!”

A saber light slashed through the Void Realm. Beneath the secret chamber, the endless, brilliant astral saber light appeared once again.

Then, under Marquis of Chu Zhuang, Chen Heng's incredibly terrified gaze, a “puchi” sound rang out as he was sliced in half.

The Great Yuan Dynasty's Marquis of Chu Zhuang, ranked fifty-seventh on the Earth Ranking, a Xiantian Golden Core Realm expert, Chen Heng, was dead!

Afterward.

“Boom!”

Another violent explosion sounded. After killing Chen Heng, Lin Yi, like a giant beast, instantly burst through the stone ceiling and flew out of the secret chamber. With a few steps, he caught up to the fleeing Black and White Impermanence in the blink of an eye.

Then, without any nonsense, he struck out with his saber again!

“Hela!”

The astral saber light tore through the Void Realm, appearing like a river of stars splitting the dark sky in two. Its momentum and power were incredibly terrifying!

“Damn it! We'll fight you to the end!”

Seeing Lin Yi so aggressive, no matter how much fear was in the hearts of Black and White Impermanence, they were now driven to madness.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

Palm shadows were struck out by Black and White Impermanence, instantly filling the entire sky with a ghostly Qi.

“Wooo wooo!”

The yin wind howled as countless ghostly figures and skulls shrieked in pain within the black Qi, finally launching a frenzied attack toward Lin Yi.

This was truly the most Peak strike of Black and White Impermanence's lives, a strike delivered while pushed to the brink. Even if they were asked to fight again later, they might not be able to produce such a terrifying palm strike!

Under this fearsome palm, even a Grandmaster who had just Breakthrough to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm would be obliterated! Even the top hundred experts of the Earth Ranking would be beaten to death!

But.

“Hela!”

The saber light sliced through the air, and the countless ghostly shadows melted like snow.

Under the massive gap in strength, no matter how hard Black and White Impermanence fought, they had no power to resist. The thick power of the Myriad Ghost Divine Palm was directly shattered by the saber light.

Then, that terrifying saber light quickly slashed down on their already heavily injured palms. First, it easily followed the previous wounds to sever their hands, and then it swiftly swept across their necks.

“Puchi!”

“Puchi!”

In the Void Realm, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, two heads soared into the dark sky.

Black and White Impermanence, ranked twenty-eighth on the Earth Ranking and a scourge of the Nine Provinces for over a hundred years, were dead!

In the blink of an eye, three strikes, and three top hundred Grandmasters of the Earth Ranking at the Xiantian Golden Core Realm were all dead!

Only now did the lackeys of the Sea Sand Gang below finally react:

“Oh no! Something big has happened!”

“Something big happened where the Gang Leader lives! Quick, quick, quick! Someone come!”

“Oh no!”

...The lackeys shouted one after another, their faces filled with terror.

In the sky, Lin Yi, dressed in black, merely glanced down casually. After taking the important tokens from Black and White Impermanence and Chen Heng, he drifted away, undetected by anyone and leaving not a speck of dust behind.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when an Innate expert from the Anyang Prefecture City descended upon the Sea Sand Gang with a terrifying Aura,

that he suddenly realized with shock that the deceased were actually the Great Yuan Dynasty's Marquis of Chu Zhuang, the Xiantian Golden Core Realm Grandmaster ranked fifty-seventh on the Earth Ranking—Chen Heng, and the Great Yuan Dynasty's Senior Guest Elder, the Xiantian Golden Core Realm Grandmaster ranked twenty-eighth on the Earth Ranking—Black and White Impermanence!

Immediately, the world was shocked!
