78: Five organs open

"Lin Jingyu! Get out here and die!"

Liu Bai's vengeful roar was like a thunderclap, echoing through the street below the Yunlai Inn, instantly drowning out all the clamor.

The crowd retreated in terror, revealing an empty space in the center.

Liu Bai's face was pale, his eyes sinister like a viper, and the long sword in his hand hummed as it pointed toward the inn window.

Beside him, three Elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect stood like three unsheathed sharp swords, their auras fierce and peerless, invisible Sword Qi cutting through the air with a sizzling sound.

The Law Enforcement Hall Elders: Zhao Yuankui (Divine Treasury Realm, 5th Layer), Qian Tonghai (Divine Treasury Realm, 5th Layer), and Sun Li (Divine Treasury Realm, 6th Layer Peak)!

The three gazed coldly, locking onto the burly figure slowly appearing at the window, their killing intent solidified.

"It's the three Elders from the Heavenly Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Elder Zhao! Elder Qian! Elder Sun are all here!"

"It's over. No matter how strong Lin Jingyu is, can he withstand the combined might of three long-renowned Elders of the Divine Treasury Realm?"

"Retreat! Get further away!"

The crowd was in an uproar, both excited and terrified. Everyone believed that Lin Jingyu had kicked an iron plate this time and was doomed!

At the window, Lin Jingyu stood like a mountain.

He looked down at the clamoring Liu Bai and the three powerful Elders below. His face was expressionless, his eyes as calm as an ancient well, yet faintly carrying a trace of... disdain?

"Lin Jingyu! You have humiliated my Heavenly Sword Sect and wounded my Dao Heart! Today, with the three Elders here, you must pay for your blood debts! Get down here and accept your death!" Seeing Lin Jingyu appear, Liu Bai felt emboldened and roared fiercely, wishing he could tear him into pieces immediately.

Lin Jingyu's gaze swept past the barking Liu Bai as if passing over an ant, finally landing on the strongest one, Sun Li.

The corner of his mouth slowly curled into a cold and cruel arc, like an ancient Vicious Beast that had locked onto its prey.

"Heavenly Sword Sect?"

His voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the noise, carrying a metallic texture and containing heart-palpitating power. "Just right."

"My fists were just looking for someone to test their hardness."

"Your lives..." Lin Jingyu stepped out of the window, his body crashing toward the street below like a meteorite!

"I, Lin Jingyu, will accept them!"

"Boom!"

One billion jin of Divine Power was held back, yet it made the air in the entire street suddenly solidify!

The invisible pressure was like a collapsing mountain. Liu Bai and the three Elders, bearing the brunt of it, felt their breathing stifle and their Qi and blood stagnate!

"Arrogant!"

Cold light exploded in Sun Li's eyes. He was the one with the highest cultivation among the three, having reached the 6th Layer Peak of the Divine Treasury Realm, only a line away from the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Facing Lin Jingyu's arrogant posture, he was burning with rage. "Form the Three Talents Immortal-Slaughtering Sword Formation! Mangle this wretch here!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuankui and Qian Tonghai responded in unison. The three moved instantly, surrounding the position where Lin Jingyu was falling in a triangular Formation!

Bright sword light erupted from the swords in their hands simultaneously!

"Three Talents Immortal-Slaughtering, arise!"

Three thick sword auras shot into the sky, instantly weaving into a terrifying sword net covering dozens of zhang!

Within the sword net, Sword Qi whistled, and the sharp, peerless Sword Intent cut through space, emitting a hair-raising hiss!

The air was torn apart, and deep furrows were plowed into the ground!

The power of this sword Formation was enough to mangle an ordinary 7th Layer Divine Treasury Realm expert!

"Die! Lin Jingyu!" Liu Bai laughed wildly outside the sword Formation, as if he had already seen Lin Jingyu being dismembered by ten thousand swords.

In the center of the sword net, Lin Jingyu landed heavily, the hard bluestone beneath his feet cracking inch by inch, smoke and dust filling the air.

Facing the terrifying incoming sword net, he did not dodge or evade!

"Flashy and useless." A cold, indifferent snort came from the smoke.

Lin Jingyu gripped his right fist tightly, and the Star Glow flowing under his skin suddenly became incandescent!

A heavy, vast, invisible force field exploded from him as the center!

"Star Gravity — Repel!"

Hum!

The terrifying sword net that had come to mangle him struck an invisible, indestructible star barrier three feet away from Lin Jingyu!

Countless sharp Sword Qi cut onto it, erupting with ear-piercing sounds of metal clashing and sparks flying everywhere!

The sword net twisted and deformed violently, its forward momentum forcibly curbed!

"What?!" Sun Li's pupils shrank. He felt a vast, irresistible repulsive force coming from the center of the sword Formation, vibrating his Qi and blood so much that the arm holding the sword went slightly numb!

Zhao Yuankui and Qian Tonghai let out muffled groans, their faces turning pale instantly!

They felt as if their sword auras had slashed onto an ancient, immovable star!

"This bit of strength, and you dare call it Immortal-Slaughtering?" Lin Jingyu's voice carried naked mockery.

On his right fist, Chaos Qi Flow surged, Thick Earth Divine Light circulated, Geng Metal Sharpness breathed, and spots of Star Glow gathered, invoking invisible star gravity!

"Chaos Heaven Opening Fist!"

No complex Moves, just the simplest, most direct straight punch!

He smashed it toward Sun Li, who was presiding over the Formation eye directly in front!

The punch was thrown!

One billion jin of Divine Power exploded completely! The air in front of the fist was compressed to the extreme, forming a visible white cone of air waves!

It formed a destructive torrent, brutally crushing all obstacles, striking directly at the heart of the enemy!

"Bad!" Sun Li's soul fled in terror!

He felt a fatal threat! The power contained in that punch and the strange suppressive force field made even his Divine Soul tremble!

He roared, pouring his lifelong cultivation into his long sword. The sword body erupted with unprecedented dazzling light, and a ten-zhang sword aura, condensed to the extreme, slashed out fiercely, attempting to block it!

"Boom-crack—!!!"

The fist aura and sword aura collided violently!

The dazzling light instantly swallowed everything! The deafening explosion resounded throughout the Prefecture!

It only stalemated for less than an instant!

That seemingly peerless ten-zhang sword aura was as fragile as paper in front of the Chaos Heaven Opening Fist, which contained star gravity!

Crack! The sword aura shattered inch by inch!

The long sword in Sun Li's hand let out an unbearable wail, its body instantly covered in cracks, and finally exploded into fragments with a "bang"!

The remaining force of the fist aura did not diminish, striking solidly onto Sun Li's crossed arms!

"Puff—!"

Sun Li was struck as if by an extraterrestrial meteorite, his Protective Aura shattering instantly!

His whole body flew backward like a broken sack, spraying blood from his mouth!

He crashed heavily into a three-story restaurant beside the street! Smoke, dust, and rubble shot into the sky!

"Senior Brother Sun!" Zhao Yuankui and Qian Tonghai were terrified! The Three Talents Immortal-Slaughtering Sword Formation they relied on for fame had actually been broken by the opponent with one punch! Even the strongest, Sun Li, was left in an unknown state of life or death!

"It's your turn." Lin Jingyu's cold gaze turned to the remaining two, as if looking at two walking evolution points.

He stepped out and appeared instantly in front of the panicked Zhao Yuankui!

Zhao Yuankui was greatly alarmed. Without thinking, the long sword in his hand turned into a sky full of sword shadows to protect his body, while he retreated violently!

"Too slow." Lin Jingyu's voice sounded like a ghost in Zhao Yuankui's ear.

A large hand pierced directly through the defense!

"Star Plucking Hand!"

Puchi!

That hand, like iron pliers, precisely grabbed Zhao Yuankui's neck!

"Ugh..." Zhao Yuankui's eyes bulged, his face full of unbelievable terror and despair.

Lin Jingyu's eyes were indifferent, his five fingers exerting force suddenly!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of neck bone shattering rang out!

Zhao Yuankui's head tilted to one side at a strange angle, the light in his eyes instantly extinguished.

The corpse was discarded by Lin Jingyu like garbage, hitting the ground and splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Junior Brother Zhao!" Qian Tonghai was scared out of his wits, his liver and gallbladder splitting! He no longer had any Battle Intent, turned around, transformed into a streak of sword light, and fled desperately into the distance!

"Can you escape?" Lin Jingyu didn't Move a step, just punched into the direction Qian Tonghai was fleeing from afar!

"God-Demon Burning Heaven Fist!"

Boom!

A crimson fist imprint, wrapped in Heaven Burning Divine Fire and as large as a house, tore through the sky!

Its speed was as fast as lightning! It arrived before the target could react!

Qian Tonghai felt the terrifying high temperature and destructive aura behind him. He looked back in despair, and only that huge fist imprint burning everything remained in his eyes!

"No—!"

"Boom!"

The fist imprint hit Qian Tonghai solidly!

Heaven Burning Divine Fire erupted instantly! It swallowed him along with his Protective Aura!

The shrill screams stopped abruptly!

In the air, only a human-shaped flame outline remained. In just a short breath, he was burned into nothingness along with his Divine Soul by the Heaven Burning Divine Fire! Not even ashes were left!

In the blink of an eye!

Three Heavenly Sword Sect Divine Treasury Realm Elders, famous in the Prefecture, were one severely wounded and dying, one had his neck twisted, and one was burned to nothingness!

The whole scene was dead silent!

You could hear a pin drop!

Everyone was as if frozen, staring blankly at the burly figure in the center of the street, bathed in spots of Star Glow and resembling a demon god descending to the world, their brains completely blank!

"No... don't kill me! Master Lin... Lin! Spare me! Spare me!" Liu Bai had long since collapsed on the ground, his crotch wet, and a foul stench permeated the air.

Watching Lin Jingyu solve the three Elders as if killing chickens, he was scared out of his wits, snot and tears streaming down his face, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy. His forehead hit the bluestone ground with a thud, blood streaming down.

Whatever Dao Heart, whatever hatred, in the face of the fear of death, were all worthless.

Lin Jingyu walked slowly to Liu Bai, looking down from above at this Heavenly Sword Sect "Prodigy" who had once been arrogant but was now like mud. There was no pity in his eyes, only cold indifference.

"A piece of trash with a broken Dao Heart."

He spoke lightly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching every onlooker's ears, "You don't even qualify for me to kill."

Before the words fell, Lin Jingyu lifted his foot and stepped forward casually.

"Puff!"

Like stepping on a ripe watermelon.

Liu Bai's begging stopped abruptly, his head and half of his body, under the trampling of one billion jin of Divine Power, instantly turned into a pool of blurry blood and flesh, deeply embedded in the bluestone ground.

【Ding! Killed Divine Treasury Realm 5th Layer (Heavenly Sword Sect Elder · Zhao Yuankui)! Obtained evolution points: 12,000 points!】

【Ding! Killed Divine Treasury Realm 5th Layer (Heavenly Sword Sect Elder · Qian Tonghai)! Obtained evolution points: 12,000 points!】

【Ding! Severely wounded and dying Divine Treasury Realm 6th Layer (Heavenly Sword Sect Elder · Sun Li)! Obtained evolution points: 8,000 points! (Severely wounded state, points are half of killing)】

【Ding! Killed Meridian Opening Realm 9th Layer (Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple · Liu Bai)! Obtained evolution points: 100 points! (Waste of effort)】

【Current evolution points: 150,000 points + 32,000 points = 182,000 points!】

The cold System prompts sounded one after another.

Lin Jingyu didn't even look at the mess on the ground, as if he had just casually crushed a few ants.

His gaze swept over the dying Sun Li in the collapsed restaurant in the distance, having no interest in finishing him off.

A waste who was severely wounded and dying, with a likely broken Dao Heart, was not worth his effort again.

"Heavenly Sword Sect? Nothing more than this." His indifferent voice echoed through the silent street, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

After speaking, he stopped lingering, stepped out, Shrinking the Ground to an Inch, and his figure disappeared instantly from the spot, leaving only a messy street, a terrified crowd, and the strong smell of blood and faint star pressure remaining in the air.

Yunlai Inn, quiet room.

Lin Jingyu sat cross-legged, the isolation Formation activated.

He did not immediately use the newly obtained 182,000 evolution points, but took out the two tokens engraved with the ancient character "Ruins".

The two tokens were placed in his palm, and that faint but clear sense of spatial resonance came again, as if two magnets were attracting each other.

The patterns on the tokens seemed to light up slightly in the resonance, becoming deeper and more mysterious.

"Ruins"... what kind of place is it exactly? Lin Jingyu stroked the cold tokens, lost in thought.

"The resonance of two tokens, does it mean I need to collect more? This spatial fluctuation... is definitely not as simple as an ordinary Secret Realm. Imperial Capital... perhaps there will be answers there."

He put away the tokens and turned his attention back to himself.

Consecutive battles, especially the full-power explosion of the Minor Achievement Star Gravity, plus the consumption of the God-Demon Burning Heaven Fist, made his Qi and blood surge, and the five great divine treasuries were exceptionally active.

Especially the kidney divine treasury (Water Divine Treasury), the foundation accumulated by the crazy nourishment of star power before was now like boiling water, constantly impacting that invisible barrier!

"Water Divine Treasury, it's about to open!" Lin Jingyu's heart stirred. Opening the divine treasury meant obtaining a new Divine Ability and his strength advancing further! He immediately calmed his mind, guided the surging Qi and blood and star power in his body, and fully impacted the kidney divine treasury!

"Boom!"

Like a river breaking its banks! The water-element power accumulated to the Peak exploded at the location of the kidney divine treasury!

A cool, vast force containing endless vitality and flexibility instantly permeated his limbs and bones!

His blood flow became smoother and more surging, the activity of his muscles and bones was stimulated again, and even his spirit was refreshed!

【Ding! host opened kidney divine treasury! Obtained Divine Ability: Xuanming True Water (Initial Achievement)! Control water and resist cold! Nourish all things! Unload force and neutralize energy! Use softness to overcome hardness!】

【Current Realm: Divine Treasury Realm 5th Layer Peak!】 (Five Divine Vaults opened simultaneously, foundation at Perfection!)

An aura more harmonious and powerful than before rose from Lin Jingyu.

In the Star Glow flowing under his skin, there was faintly an extra trace of azure water-like luster, combining hardness and softness, mysterious and extraordinary.

Feeling the changes brought about by the subtle fusion of the newly acquired water-element Divine Ability and the Star Body, brilliance flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes. He looked at the 182,000 evolution points on the System panel.

"Strength, I need to be stronger! Speed, I also need to be faster! On the way to the Imperial Capital, there is still that Dharma Aspect Realm Demon King waiting..." He curled his lips into a smile full of power.

"System, deduce and evolve 'Shrinking the Ground to an Inch'! Target — Major Achievement Realm!"
