Chapter 452: Chapter 448: The Terrifying Lin Wu
The crowd’s gaze followed the falling figure, only to discover an even more shocking scene.
Surrounding Lin Hao were several headless corpses, with a number of severed heads scattered about.
"Th-That’s an instructor from the Lin family, at the Fourth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm! And that’s a direct disciple of the Lin family, at the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm! And that man over there, he was also at the Fifth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm! But now... they’re all dead! This... this..."
A man stammered, his face a mask of horror.
Lin Hao’s might was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Several people backed away.
Among the onlookers were quite a few Martial Artists with close ties to the Lin family. Seeing this, they all ducked their heads, terrified of being noticed.
Lin Hao was an absolute demon, not someone they could ever hope to challenge.
However, their reactions went unnoticed. Inside the Lin Mansion, the standoff between Lin Hao and the three elders had captured everyone’s attention.
Inside the Lin Mansion, the three remaining elders stared at Lin Hao, their muscles tensed, yet they didn’t dare make the slightest move.
Lin Hao was simply too overpowering. Not only was his physique far superior, striking fear into the very depths of their souls, but his speed was also utterly terrifying.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the massive crowd watching from outside, the three elders would have already fled for their lives.
But they couldn’t now. They were in full view of the public. If they fled, what would become of the Lin Mansion’s dignity?
Across from them, Lin Hao suddenly gave a cold smirk.
A chill ran down the three elders’ spines, and they instinctively shifted to the side.
In the next instant, Lin Hao’s figure vanished from before their eyes.
"Where do you think you’re going?!" The three breathed a sigh of relief, then roared in unison and charged deeper into the Lin Mansion.
A gateway not far off was their only cover; passing through it was the only way to escape the crowd’s prying eyes.
But when the three men charged through, they found Lin Hao standing with his back to them, outside a pavilion several hundred meters away.
The three exchanged glances but didn’t dare to make a move.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao’s gaze was fixated on a couplet inscribed on the pavilion’s two pillars, and he seemed lost in thought.
Where the sea ends, heaven is the shore; atop the highest peak, I am the summit!
The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, each stroke like iron, each hook like silver. Not only did a peculiar Dao Rhyme flow from it, but it also faintly emanated an aura capable of crushing all creation.
"Lin Wu!" Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed as he uttered the name.
It was a strange sensation. Though the couplet was unsigned, Lin Hao knew instinctively who had written it.
"Hao’Er, what a sharp eye." A voice suddenly rang out as a remarkably graceful woman with a beaming smile appeared in the distance. It was none other than Lin Wu’s mother, Shen Bilian.
Lin Hao’s eyes were like daggers. He stared at her for a moment, then suddenly struck!
Lin Hao’s arm shot out. In the next instant, using his finger as a brush, his movements as fluid as a soaring dragon, he wrote a new couplet next to the first.
A bandit’s forced smile cannot hide his foul deeds; a petty demon provoking a god is just begging for death!
Having done all this, Lin Hao plunged his arm into the ground.
In the next instant, the entire pavilion was torn from the ground.
At the very moment Lin Hao finished writing the couplet, thousands of miles away in the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, a young man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.
BOOM!
The mere act of him opening his eyes caused a small hill a hundred meters away to simply explode.
Then, the young man rose to his feet and gazed into the vast heavens.
An incredible thing happened. Ripples began to spread through the once-calm air, and then an image materialized in the void.
The image showed a scene of devastation, with broken walls and rubble everywhere. In the center of it, a pavilion was being torn from the earth.
In the next instant, the vision in the void vanished. The young man retracted his gaze and murmured, "Lin Hao, my dear little brother, I never thought you would reach this level."
Then, the young man sat cross-legged once more. In just a few moments, he was completely submerged in Chaos Qi.
A great bird, over a hundred meters long, flew across the sky, its massive form blotting out the sun.
But before the great bird could even reach the young man’s position, it frantically beat its giant wings, trying to turn back, stirring up a massive tornado.
Boulders and Ancient Trees on the ground were swept up, only to be ground into dust.
But in the next instant, the great bird let out a piercing shriek and plummeted toward the ground like a meteor from the heavens.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the Lin Mansion of Imperial City, Lin Hao swung his arm, sending the entire pavilion flying straight out of the estate.
"Stop it!" Shen Bilian’s face paled as she roared from a distance.
The moment she finished speaking, two figures shot out, reaching for the pavilion in mid-air.
Just then, Lin Hao moved!
In a flash, Lin Hao appeared before Shen Bilian.
PFFT!
However, a figure appeared with incredible speed and struck at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao shot backward, spitting a mouthful of blood.
While still in mid-air, Lin Hao’s expression turned grim.
Though Shen Bilian had appeared alone, Lin Hao had sensed other Martial Artists hiding in the shadows, which was why he had made that seemingly unnecessary move.
He never expected that after the two he’d sensed revealed themselves, there would be a third person hiding—and most importantly, he hadn’t sensed her at all!
And it was, indeed, a woman. Lin Hao saw that a woman in a black robe now stood in front of Shen Bilian.
The woman’s cultivation method was bizarre; though Lin Hao had retreated quickly, he was still injured.
Everything happened too fast. As Lin Hao shot backward, he actually caught up with the two Martial Artists who were reaching for the pavilion.
In the next instant, Lin Hao’s figure suddenly split in two, and both charged at the two Martial Artists.
Lin Hao attacked second but struck first, his speed reaching an absolute apex. The two Martial Artists were stopped in their tracks.
Those watching from mid-air saw this, and looks of shock surfaced in many of their eyes.
"The long-lost Body Double technique!" someone cried out in shock.
At that same moment, the black-robed woman before Shen Bilian moved.
With a single movement, she vanished into thin air, reappearing in the sky an instant later to grab the pavilion just as it was about to land in the square outside.
Just then, the patterns on the shell of the man-sized, standing turtle egg flared with brilliant light.
The next moment...
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Three deafening booms rang out almost simultaneously. The black-robed woman slammed into an invisible wall of energy and was sent flying backward. Her figure flickered and vanished, reappearing by Shen Bilian’s side.
Meanwhile, high above the Lin Mansion, Lin Hao was locked in a fierce battle with the two Martial Artists.
"Girl, you can go in now." Before the turtle egg’s voice had even faded, a figure rushed into the Lin Mansion—it was Lu Dieyi.
A pavilion suddenly materialized in the massive square outside the Lin Mansion, drawing everyone’s gaze.
PFFT! PFFT!
The instant they saw the two couplets, several people coughed up blood. This included many Martial Artists at the Seventh and Eighth Layers of the Soul Gathering Realm. Even many who had reached the Ninth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm became flush-faced and unsteady on their feet.
Everyone was aghast.
Not only did these two couplets contain a mystical Dao Rhyme, but both also pulsed with a terrifying, boundless pressure. Furthermore, the two auras were in conflict, clashing violently, making it impossible for anyone else to so much as gaze upon them.
