Six Star-Guiding Bridges vanished from the sky.
Six Star River Realm experts…
were dead.
The entire city trembled.
Star River Realm cultivators were supposed to be untouchable—high above mortals, capable of battling the heavens.
Yet now…
they were falling like insects.
In just a few days, over ten Star River Realm experts had died at Lin Ye's hands.
And today…
he had even slain a Moonwheel Realm powerhouse.
That was Lu Chengxuan.
Deputy sect master of Seven Star Sword Gate.
A true Moonwheel Realm monster.
And his end?
Pathetic.
He didn't even get a chance to run.
Luo Gui sucked in a breath.
Breaking the formation was one thing—
But killing six Star River Realm experts immediately after?
His grip tightened on the Black Python Spear, feeling like he was just a decorative banner beside Lin Ye.
"This kid…"
"He's insane."
Sparks faded.
Lin Ye reappeared.
His face remained calm.
To him…
killing Star River Realm cultivators was nothing.
He only cared about one thing—
Anyone who came…
would not leave alive.
His body flashed.
WHOOSH!
Lin Ye shot toward the remaining Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.
His speed was so terrifying they didn't even have time to react—
He was already in front of them.
The Cold Iron Sword erupted with a blood-red sword aura ten meters long—
Two experts were cleaved in half instantly.
Blood and organs sprayed in the air.
Lin Ye's expression didn't change.
He swung again.
The rest panicked and scattered.
Their deputy sect master was dead.
Their carefully prepared formation was destroyed.
Six Star River Realm experts—including their hall master—were erased.
What fight was left?
Surviving was already a miracle.
The remaining eight fled in eight directions.
Lin Ye raised his hand.
And threw his sword.
The Cold Iron Sword turned into a blood streak—
BOOM!
It pierced one expert and kept flying.
BOOM! BOOM!
Three dead in one throw.
Luo Gui's scalp went numb.
The control.
The precision.
Even he couldn't do it so casually.
Lin Ye's hand flicked again—
The Crimson Lotus Tribulation Cauldron shot out like a meteor.
BOOM!
It slammed into another expert, turning them into paste.
Blood and flesh smeared across the cauldron's surface.
Lin Ye himself used Heaven Strategy Dragon Steps again.
He hunted two more down in seconds.
From eight…
to two.
The final two thought—
We survived the longest, so we might live.
Then one of them suddenly felt a cold killing intent from above.
He looked up.
A huge black shadow descended, jaws open wide.
"AH—!"
His head was bitten clean off.
The Blacksteel Leopard.
Having broken into Fifth Grade, it could briefly fly.
But it still preferred violent pounce-kills.
One more dead.
The last man fled with hatred burning in his eyes.
But survival came first.
Lin Ye calmly raised the Windbreaker Crossbow.
Qi gathered.
The target was already a kilometer away.
SHING!
The bolt shot out.
It struck the man's qi armor—
and bounced.
The man laughed hysterically.
"Hahaha! Trying to kill me?"
"Not that easy!"
"Just wait—Seven Star Sword Gate will rip you to pieces!"
But then—
his laughter froze.
A chill crawled up his spine.
Hidden force exploded from inside the bolt.
BOOM!
Eight Desolations Blood-Slaughter Force.
The armor shattered.
Half his body exploded into mush.
He fell from the sky like a broken puppet and slammed into the street.
BOOM!
A crater formed.
Only smashed flesh remained.
Lin Ye's expression never changed.
No wasted words.
No negotiations.
No mercy.
One rule—
If you come to kill me…
you die.
If you send more…
I kill more.
Lin Ye retrieved his sword and cauldron.
The Blacksteel Leopard hopped across rooftops, collecting storage rings in its mouth like trophies.
Lin Ye looked at Luo Gui.
Earlier, Luo Gui stepped forward without knowing if Lin Ye would live.
Even though he didn't exchange blows, he stalled long enough for Lin Ye to stabilize Summer Wei.
Otherwise…
she would have died.
That was not a small favor.
And Luo Gui had no reason to help.
Yet he did.
Lin Ye tossed him a sentence.
"If you ever need me… call."
Then he walked back into the ruined manor.
Luo Gui froze.
Then smiled.
At first, he thought he owed Lin Ye too much.
Three Seventh-Grade herbs didn't compare to his grandson's life.
So he helped to repay a portion.
But he hadn't even truly fought—
and Lin Ye's strength exceeded everything he imagined.
Now he realized…
Even a blind man could tell how valuable Lin Ye's promise was.
Moonwheel Realm one-shot.
Sixth-Grade alchemist.
And a presence like a supreme god looking down at the world.
"Profit… absolute profit."
Luo Gui laughed to himself and descended quickly.
He still had to help his grandson digest the Meridian-Opening Pill.
In the rubble, the Blacksteel Leopard gently lifted the unconscious Summer Wei in its mouth and followed Lin Ye.
Once they reached the street—
two luxurious carriages stopped in front of them.
A girl stepped down.
Short skirt.
Long legs.
A tiger fang necklace.
Short sleeves.
Fair skin exposed.
Hot.
Bold.
Wild.
And the snakebone whip at her waist screamed danger.
"Lin Young Master," Fang Yiyi said warmly.
"If you don't mind, please rest at our Five Spirits Manor first."
Lin Ye glanced at her once.
Then nodded.
"Fine."
He gestured at the leopard.
"Put her in your carriage."
Fang Yiyi's eyes widened slightly.
Summer Wei was in terrible condition.
It made sense—Lu Chengxuan's sneak attack would crush anyone below Moonwheel.
The fact she survived at all…
was already a miracle.
Lin Ye entered the second carriage.
The Blacksteel Leopard ran alongside it.
Fang Yiyi finally exhaled.
She'd made the right move.
Not because Lin Ye would be "grateful"…
But because he would remember her.
A good impression was enough.
Seven Star Sword Gate had blatantly attacked in their skies—without any respect for Bailing Medicine Sect.
Now their entire force was wiped out.
The sect's disciples felt satisfaction.
If Lin Ye hadn't done it…
others would think Thousand Spirit City was free territory.
The carriage raced toward Five Spirits Manor.
Meanwhile…
In the city.
Yan Shoutang of Hundred Beast Sect finally regained their beast egg.
They paid tens of billions to buy back what was originally theirs.
They were furious.
But more than that…
they were terrified.
Seeing Seven Star Sword Gate's strength made them realize how small they were.
Just one deputy sect master and one hall…
already equaled their full strength.
Then—
they saw something even more horrifying.
A mysterious少年 slaughtered them all in an instant.
Their entire combat force…
wiped out clean.
None escaped.
Yan Shoutang's voice trembled.
"Order the sect…"
"Never provoke that person."
At that moment, Elder Liu rushed back.
"Sect Master… we found out who sold us the beast egg."
"It was that少年…"
"His name is Lin Ye—Sect Master of Wind Thunder Mystic Sect in the Wind Thunder Riverlands."
Yan Shoutang sucked in a cold breath.
Thank the heavens…
That intelligence arrived late.
If they knew yesterday…
Hundred Beast Sect might already be dead.
