190: Chapter 192 Martial Saints are Like Ants
"No! Old Ancestor, you underestimate me, and you underestimate the Martial God too!"
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said:
"The Martial God's foundation is unfathomably deep; what is recorded in history is merely the tip of the iceberg."
"If he had gone all out when he was in the Innate realm, then let alone a mere Yuan Emperor, he might have even been able to fight an ordinary Heavenly God like the Ancestors of the Three Great Sacred Lands."
"And while I currently lack accumulation and am not yet equal to a Martial God of the same level, killing a minor Yuan Emperor is more than enough!"
"I... this... this..."
Hearing this, Old Ancestor Yan Hui was still full of shock, unable to believe it at all.
But seeing the solemn expression on Lin Yi's face, he couldn't help but waver slightly:
"Fine! Lin Yi, since you say your strength is great, I won't force you into secluded bitter cultivation."
"However, if you want to walk openly in the outside world, you must prove your strength!"
"Otherwise, I, this old man, will come to persuade you every day, and I'll have your parents, Zhao Haihong, Zhao Haishan, Gu Changsheng, and Wang Yu all come to persuade you every day until you're too annoyed to stay!"
"Hahaha! Old Ancestor, you must be joking!"
Hearing Old Ancestor Yan Hui's helpless words, Lin Yi also laughed and then said:
"Old Ancestor has such kind intentions, how could I, Lin Yi, not graciously accept them?"
"Good! Since the Old Ancestor wants me to prove it, then I shall. I just don't know how I should prove it? Could it be that you want me to go and kill the Yuan Emperor?"
"That would work too, but you'd have to give me another three days. After all, although my current strength is not inferior to that Yuan Emperor, I truly cannot kill him yet."
Lin Yi spoke with a face full of seriousness.
While Old Ancestor Yan Hui's heart was filled with shock and doubt, he couldn't help but want to believe him. Finally, he spoke with a smile:
"Haha! Lin Yi, there's no need for anything as ridiculous as killing the Yuan Emperor!"
"To prove your strength, you only need to kill that old ghost Huotong of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who is also the Second Ancestor of the Great Yuan Dynasty."
"After all, although that old ghost Huotong's strength is far inferior to that dog Yuan Qingcang, he is still a Late Stage Martial Saint expert, and not a weak one among the Late Stage Martial Saints. Even the Myriad Phenomena Tower Master and the Buddhist World-Honored One would probably find it difficult to kill him without using a peerless divine weapon."
"So as long as you kill him, it will prove that your strength is at least close to the Myriad Phenomena Tower Master and the others when they use their peerless divine weapons."
"With such strength, even if Yuan Qingcang takes action personally, even if you are no match for him, you would still be able to escape with your life."
"If that's the case, then I naturally won't obstruct you anymore."
"Fine!"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile:
"We'll do as the Old Ancestor says and kill that old ghost Huotong!"
"Only, I don't know where this old ghost Huotong is. If I can't find him within three days, it would be easier for me to just go and kill the Yuan Emperor directly."
"There's no need to go looking for him!"
Old Ancestor Yan Hui smiled slightly:
"Because ever since you were attacked by the Yuan Emperor years ago, Old Ancestor Bei Zhen of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce and I, in order to avenge you, worked together to persuade the other Martial Saints to start a great war with the Great Yuan Dynasty!"
"And the ones fighting the most fiercely against the Great Yuan Dynasty are our Heavenly Mountain Sect and the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce!"
"Therefore, to deal with our two great forces, Yuan Qingcang dispatched the old ghost Huotong three years ago to the border of Qing Province and Chu Province, specifically to Anping County, which is not far from your hometown of Guangling Prefecture, to take charge and deal with me and Old Ancestor Bei Zhen."
"So in a moment, I just need to take you to Anping County. With my speed, I estimate we can arrive in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"Fine! Then I'll have to trouble the Old Ancestor!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled slightly and did not decline.
Although his current strength far surpassed Old Ancestor Yan Hui, that was because he possessed the Human Grade High Grade divine weapon, the 'mountain river star moon saber'.
If that divine weapon were excluded, his current strength would likely only be at the peak of the Middle Stage Martial Saint level, slightly weaker than Old Ancestor Yan Hui.
Furthermore, Old Ancestor Yan Hui cultivated the Dao of Wind, whereas Lin Yi cultivated the Dao of Water.
Therefore, in terms of speed, Lin Yi was naturally no match for Old Ancestor Yan Hui.
"Haha! Good! In that case, let's set off now!"
Seeing Lin Yi agree, Old Ancestor Yan Hui also laughed heartily. With a wave of his hand, he led Lin Yi and sped towards Anping County.
Soon, after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at Anping County City, outside a massive, extremely magnificent, and incomparably luxurious pavilion at the very center.
"Whoosh!"
A gust of cyan gale swept past, and in the next moment, it transformed into the figures of Lin Yi and Old Ancestor Yan Hui.
Then, Old Ancestor Yan Hui looked at the pavilion below without delay, directly gathering his Divine Power and letting out a furious roar toward the ground:
"Old ghost Huotong, get out here and meet your death!"
"Get out here and meet your death!"
"Get out here and meet your death!"
...The massive roar fell, instantly spreading in all directions like a Heavenly God, frightening countless people within a hundred-mile radius into trembling.
Under the impact of these terrifying sound waves, the gold and jade-adorned pavilion directly below exploded with a 'rumbling' sound, as if it had been hit by hundreds of tons of explosives in an instant.
Amidst the sky-filling sounds of explosion, a terrifying aura awakened deep within the pavilion, followed by a heaven-shaking roar of fury:
"Old ghost Yan Hui, you're looking for death!"
"Boom!"
Before the voice even faded, within the pavilion below, bricks and tiles shattered instantly, and the entire luxurious pavilion collapsed with a crash.
Immediately after, under the terrified and horrified gazes of countless surrounding Martial Artists and commoners, a thousand-meter-long flood dragon composed entirely of crimson flames struck upward from the ground. Like a hidden dragon emerging from an abyss, it carried boundless Divine Power and majesty as it crashed toward Lin Yi and the other.
Within the hidden dragon, a withered old man was filled with towering rage, merging as one with this flaming divine dragon, causing the dragon's eyes to shine brightly and its power to increase further, vowing to kill Lin Yi and his companion.
"Lin Yi, quick, show your..."
"Whoosh!"
High in the sky, Old Ancestor Yan Hui's words were not yet finished.
In the next instant, under his shocked gaze, Lin Yi flipped his hand, and a terrifying long saber appeared.
Then, with a movement of the long saber, he slashed out an indescribably brilliant starlight saber light.
The starlight saber light ravaged the Void Realm, and then, with just a single collision—
In an instant... "Crash!"
It was like the great sun shining on ice and snow, or a hot knife cutting through butter.
Under this single starlight saber light, that fearsome flame flood dragon instantly melted like snow.
In just a single breath, both the dragon and the person were turned into nothingness, disappearing from this space.
With one strike, a Late Stage Martial Saint expert, the Second Ancestor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Martial Saint Huo Tong, was dead!
