Chapter 585 -585: Trembling All Over in Fear
“Running away?” Lin Yi sneered and in a flash, was beside the old man, raising his hand to chop at the old man’s head.
The old man shook in terror and hurriedly took out an elixir to consume. He circulated his cultivation technique, and his body trembled; suddenly, his aura soared, and his figure swelled to several times its original size in the blink of an eye, erupting with an astonishing presence.
“I am now at the peak of the Innate Second Layer Realm; you can’t kill me!”
Seeing Lin Yi halt the pursuit, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said with smug satisfaction.
Innate Second Layer?
Lin Yi frowned slightly.
...
Even though the old man had greatly increased his strength, Lin Yi knew he could still defeat him with one move; there was no need for concern.
“Hmph, when I say I will kill you, I will. When I say I will kill you with one move, I definitely can!”
Lin Yi snorted coldly and once again slapped towards the old man.
Boom!
Lin Yi’s palm contained boundless might; a terrifying wind howled into being, lifting sand and stones off the ground into a swirling dance, his momentum overwhelming.
Seeing this, the old man’s eyes revealed deep terror as he quickly mobilized his cultivation technique to defend against the palm.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out as the old man’s body was sent flying, smashing through several large trees and spewing fresh blood.
Thud!
The old man fell to the ground and, after scrambling back up, immediately fled.
Lin Yi gave chase immediately, punching him and sending him soaring through the air; another kick knocked him out cold.
Afterward, Lin Yi walked over, grabbed the old man by the neck, lifted him up, and tossed him onto a large tree, tying him up tightly.
“Now that I know where you and your people come from, I must deliver you to the sect and have you executed!”
Lin Yi dropped the old man to the ground and coldly scanned the black-clad men.
“No, please, Young Master Lin Yi, spare my life, I know I was wrong; please let me go!”
“Spare me, I too realize my mistake, I will never dare to provoke you again, spare my life!”
“I am willing to join your sect!”
“I am willing to submit to you!”
“Please, let me go!”
The black-clad men, terrified by Lin Yi, surrendered one after another, all with faces of sorrow and fear.
“Thinking of submitting to me now, what were you doing earlier?”
Lin Yi glanced at them, utterly disdainful.
The old man, seeing their state, couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling that this group had completely lost face; it was a disgrace!
“Lin Yi, you’ve killed so many people, are you not afraid of divine retribution?”
“Aren’t you afraid of the sect’s vengeance?”
A man in black yelled out.
“I, Lin Yi, am not afraid because I simply do not take any power into consideration!”
Lin Yi’s gaze swept over the group of black-clad men with icy intensity.
“What? You’re not afraid of any sect?”
“Don’t go too far; a sect is not something you can provoke!”
“Let us leave the mountain at once!”
Provoked by Lin Yi’s words, the group of black-clad men glared at him with fury.
“Hmph, now you remember I’m an outsider? Where were you earlier?”
“You scum deserve to be killed, the more the better. Let the world know that you’re not only failing to protect the Huaxia lands but causing disaster and plunging the world into fire and water. You are all sinners who should be put to death!”
Two cold glints shot from Lin Yi’s eyes as a piercing aura emanated from his body, sweeping across the room and causing the men in black to tremble, their faces showing horror.
“What, what is going on? How can this guy be so strong?”

“My god, am I blind? He’s clearly only at the First Layer of Cultivation. How can he possess such a terrifying aura? It’s simply inconceivable!”
Everyone was petrified by the aura that Lin Yi released.
Lin Yi moved in a flash to one of the men in black, grabbed his throat with one hand, and lifted him off the ground.
Crack!
Lin Yi twisted the man’s neck without hesitation, blood gushing as his neck contorted grotesquely, dead beyond any doubt.
Seeing Lin Yi so easily kill a Second Layer Martial Artist sent by their own Sect, the remaining dozen or so men in black were scared to the point of wetting themselves.
“Not only have you failed to protect the Huaxia lands, but you’ve also brought calamity to the country and misery to countless people. Today, I enact justice on behalf of heaven to rid Huaxia of you. I advise you to cooperate willingly; otherwise, your fate will be unspeakably tragic. I will make you wish you were dead!”
Lin Yi’s gaze was icy as he spoke each word deliberately.
“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare!”
“Young Master Lin Yi, as long as you don’t kill us, we will do anything you ask!”
Everyone hastily said.
Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded slightly, “Then hand over your identity tokens and Jade Pendants.”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the men in black were overjoyed, and they each took out their possessions and handed them over to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi examined an identity token, confirmed their identities, and then returned the tokens to them.
Then he looked at another identity token.
“So they are disciples of the Sect, no wonder there are so many people here. Shameless, trying to occupy this place!”
Lin Yi cursed inwardly as he read the names and surnames on the identity token.
“Alright, you can get lost now!”
Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The dozen or so men in black rolled and crawled away, fleeing as if their lives depended on it, terrified that Lin Yi might change his mind and decide to kill them.
After the group had fled, Lin Yi approached the old man, grabbed his throat, dragged him down from the tree branch, and slammed him hard onto the ground.
The old man was thrown into disarray, seeing stars and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
“Cough cough cough!”
The old man clutched his chest, coughing violently with a pale face, as if his bones were shattered, in extreme agony.
“Now, are you ready to tell me where that ‘Sword Saint’ is?”
Lin Yi pulled up the old man and stared at him coldly as he asked.
The old man’s complexion changed, and he inadvertently stepped back several paces.
“Hmph, you refuse to speak? Don’t forget what you are. You’re a Sect disciple, and I’ve killed your Sect Master’s own grandson. The Sect will not let this go. I will ascend the Sect and wipe out all of you, leaving no survivors!”
A chilling look flashed across Lin Yi’s face, his voice terrifying like a demon from Hell.
The old man’s body shook, his face full of dread as he looked at Lin Yi and wryly said, “Brother Lin Yi, you can’t blame me for this. We were ordered to act and dare not conceal the truth or deceive you. Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to find the Sword Saint!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
