Chapter 160: The Shock from the Crowd

Lin Yu’s face was covered in black lines as he watched Sword Jiu Chu start to act cowardly again.

This guy really was both weak and loved to play.

He stopped wasting words, secretly activated the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and darted to Sword Jiu Chu’s side.

Without any reaction from him, Lin Yu grabbed his collar and instantly flashed out of the restaurant.

Bang!!

Accompanying a deafening roar, it was as if the entire ground trembled.

The dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground struck people’s hearts like a heavy hammer.

Immediately after.

The spine-chilling sound of bones breaking suddenly erupted, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

Then, a series of extremely shrill screams rose and fell, piercing through the sky and straight into the clouds.

It was at this moment that the originally noisy and bustling restaurant suddenly fell into a dead silence.

After a brief moment of shock, everyone came to their senses as if waking from a dream, and like a disturbed swarm of bees, they rushed out the door in a frenzy, jostling for position.

“Hiss… Is this Sword Jiu Chu? So tragic…”

When everyone rushed out of the restaurant and saw the figure wailing in pain on the ground, each person couldn’t help but gasp, their faces showing expressions of horror.

The person screaming on the ground had a swollen face, covered in bruises of blue and purple, looking like a rotten, overripe persimmon at first glance.

Not only that, his facial features were twisted beyond recognition, and blood gushed from his eyes, mouth, and nostrils, making him look extremely grotesque and terrifying.

His limbs were even more gruesome, now bent at incredibly abnormal angles, with some joints even dislocated and twisted, and ghastly white bones piercing through flesh and exposed, a truly shocking sight.

His appearance could only be described as too horrible to look at; where was there even a trace of a human shape?

If not for the distinctive attire he was wearing, no one would have been able to recognize that this person was Sword Jiu Chu.

“Who is this person? Does anyone know him? His strength is terrifying!”

Someone exclaimed.

“Yeah, where did this person come from? I feel like he’s even fiercer than Luo Xingchen!”

“Brother, remove the word ‘feel’.....”

“......”

Others began to echo.

In an instant, the entrance of the restaurant was surrounded.

The commotion here immediately attracted the bustling crowd on the street.

Although it was already close to evening, this did not affect the activities of cultivators.

Almost instantly, the entire area outside the restaurant was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

“This… isn’t this the fierce guy who beat up the guards at the Wanmeng Auction House this afternoon? How did he get into a fight with Sword Jiu Chu again!”

As more and more people gathered, some recognized Lin Yu’s identity.

“Holy crap, it really is him! I didn’t see clearly just now, but this guy is so fierce, truly unrestrained, he beats up anyone he catches…”

“Brother, what’s going on? Do you know this person Lin Fei?”

“Of course, I’m telling you, back then…”

“......”

As more and more people gathered, squeezing the area where Lin Yu stood until it was impenetrable, the crowd began to whisper and discuss amongst themselves.

News of his astonishing actions at the auction house that afternoon spread like a whirlwind.

Before long, this matter spread like wildfire to every corner, and almost everyone present knew the full details.

After learning the truth, people’s gazes towards Lin Yu gradually changed; the initial curiosity and surprise disappeared, replaced by deep reverence.

Everyone discovered that this man named Lin Yu not only possessed almost fearless courage but, even more shockingly, possessed unimaginable and terrifying strength.

Among their peers, he was an almost invincible existence.

While most people were still hovering in the Golden Core Realm, he already possessed the strength to slaughter those in the Yuanshen Realm.

Facing such a powerful and crazy person, who would dare to easily provoke him?

At this moment, even the few people who had been following Sword Jiu Chu were scared into silence, not daring to step forward.

They knew very well that their own strength was slightly inferior to Sword Jiu Chu’s.

If they rushed out now, it would undoubtedly be like throwing an egg against a rock, seeking their own death.

The idea of uniting to collectively attack Lin Yu, which they had originally planned, vanished into thin air after seeing Sword Jiu Chu instantly defeated.

One must know, that moment just now was too fast, so fast that people didn’t even have time to react.

When they came out of the restaurant, they only saw Sword Jiu Chu already lying on the ground, his body twisted and deformed, a horrible sight, completely losing the ability to fight back.

This overwhelming advantage filled them with fear; where was there any will to fight left?

“Lin Fei, stop!”

Just then, an urgent and angry shout, like a clap of thunder, resounded from far beyond the crowd.

The voice seemed to carry endless pressure and rage, sending chills down one’s spine.

Immediately after, a figure streaked forth like lightning, appearing before everyone in the blink of an eye.

The newcomer was an old man, tall and upright, with white hair but full of vigor, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, revealing an invisible majesty.

This old man was none other than Sword Qingfeng.

At this moment, Sword Qingfeng stood steadily in front of Lin Yu, shielding him behind him.

“Oh? It’s Senior Sword Qingfeng, what profound insights do you have?”

Looking at the person who had arrived, Lin Yu remained unhurried. He gently clapped his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a half-smile, and his gaze calmly met Sword Qingfeng’s.

His composed and leisurely demeanor made the surrounding people turn their heads and whisper among themselves.

“This kid is too bold, isn’t he? How dare he treat Senior Sword Qingfeng like this!”

Someone said in surprise.

“Yes, you know that’s his biological grandfather, and a senior from the Nine Yang Sword Palace! Moreover, he’s a super expert in the late Out of Body Realm. Where does Lin Yu get such confidence?”

Another person echoed.

Although they knew Lin Yu’s strength was terrifying, that was only limited to his peers.

Facing this senior figure, who was quite famous within the Lingxiao Thousand Prefecture, how dared Lin Fei do this?

However.

Lin Yu seemed not to hear these whispers, still calmly and composedly meeting Sword Qingfeng’s gaze.

“Lin Fei, you clearly know that the Thousand Mansion Competition is the day after tomorrow, why did you injure Jiuchu so badly?”

Sword Qingfeng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

The Nine Yang Sword Palace now only had Sword Jiu Chu as its sole descendant. Now that he was beaten like this, it was almost impossible for him to recover completely in two days.

How could he accept this fact!
