"What? It was Lin Xuan who attacked?"

When they heard this, everyone was stunned. Soon after, however, the members of the Fang family burst out laughing.

"This kid is all talk, isn’t he?"

"A mere nine-star Martial General repelled a four-star Grandmaster? Are you kidding me?"

"What, you think you can fight across six entire realms?"

"Keep dreaming!"

Fang Qingyu was also left speechless. I previously thought that as Ye Qingwu’s fiancé, he must be a peerless genius. Now that I’ve finally met him, I’m so disappointed. The man spouts nothing but nonsense. What a buffoon!

Ye Tian and Ye Fei were startled and quickly urged, "Young Master Lin, don’t say such things!"

"Come back, quickly! You can’t withstand their attacks."

They had known Lin Xuan longer and were well aware of his tendency to brag, but this was hardly the time or place for it! The Fang family would show no mercy.

Fang Changkong was already seething with rage from the earlier ambush, and now Lin Xuan had jumped out with his outrageous claims. This sent him into a greater fury. He glared at Lin Xuan and roared, "You insignificant ant! How dare you act so presumptuously before me? Die!"

He waved his hand, and a destructive storm of infinite power howled toward Lin Xuan. Not even a four-star Grandmaster could resist such an attack.

Having fought Fang Changkong before, Ye Tian knew just how terrifying this storm was. He cried out, "Young Master Lin, dodge!"

"Dodge? There’s no need. A little storm like this can’t hurt me," Lin Xuan stated confidently.

Ye Tian was stunned. A little storm? What kind of wild claim is he making now?

Ye Fei was practically jumping out of his skin with anxiety. This is a life-or-death crisis, and he’s still boasting? If he doesn’t dodge now, he’s really going to die!

"Why isn’t that kid dodging?"

"He’s probably scared stupid."

The members of the Fang family sneered as they watched.

Fang Qingyu shook her head and smirked. How foolish.

Just as the storm of destruction reached Lin Xuan and was about to tear him to shreds, he finally moved. A ray of Sword Qi flew out from his body, slashing forward. It was a dragon-shaped Sword Qi. Like a Divine Dragon, it charged into the swirling tempest.

BOOM!

The storm of destruction was instantly split in two. Not only that, but the dragon-shaped Sword Qi continued onward with unstoppable force, charging directly at Fang Changkong.

In the next instant, Fang Changkong was also cleaved in half.

Everyone present was shocked, stunned into absolute silence. Only the dragon-shaped Sword Qi remained, roaring toward the heavens.

Dead? Fang Changkong was actually dead!

The minds of the Fang family members went blank, their eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.

Fang Qingyu’s expression changed dramatically. How is this possible? That kid killed Fang Changkong in a single move! Am I dreaming? Fang Changkong was a four-star Grandmaster! How could this kid kill him in one strike? Just how strong is he? Could he be hiding his cultivation level? Or can he really fight across seven realms? Hiding his cultivation would be one thing, but if he can truly fight across seven realms... I can’t even imagine what kind of monster he would have to be.

「On the other side」

Ye Tian and Ye Fei were even more dumbfounded. When they saw Lin Xuan refuse to dodge, they had been sick with worry, certain he was doomed. They never expected such a turn of events. Lin Xuan had actually killed Fang Changkong with a single sword strike.

This is unbelievable! So he wasn’t bragging after all! A four-star Grandmaster was truly no match for him. He’s too strong! Lin Xuan’s power is terrifying! He’s on a completely different level from us.

For a moment, they could only stand there, frozen.

Only Lin Xuan remained standing, his hands clasped behind his back. He surveyed everyone with contempt and said coldly, "A four-star Grandmaster is nothing special. Too weak. The rest of you from the Fang family can come at me together."

"Damn it! Kill that kid!"

"He dared to kill Fang Changkong! We absolutely cannot spare him!"

The Fang family members snapped back to their senses, roaring with fury. They felt Lin Xuan was too much of a monster; he absolutely could not be allowed to live. Instantly, five Grandmasters from the Fang family stepped forward.

These five were also four-star Grandmasters. They were older than Fang Changkong and possessed far more combat experience. Together, the five of them were strong enough to sweep away anything in their path. The five Grandmasters instantly surrounded and trapped Lin Xuan.

"Not good!" Ye Tian and the others paled when they saw this. Are they trying to gang up on Young Master Lin? Do they think we’re just decorations? They prepared to charge in and join the fight.

But Lin Xuan simply said, "There’s no need for you to intervene. These few are no match for me at all. I alone am enough to sweep them aside."

Hearing this, Ye Tian was floored. Lin Xuan intends to fight five four-star Grandmasters all by himself? Can he really do it? Those five working together are ten times stronger than Fang Changkong!

The five Grandmasters from the Fang family bristled with murderous intent. How dare Lin Xuan look down on them so blatantly? It was infuriating.

"Kill!"

The five of them roared as their Spiritual Power erupted, surging toward Lin Xuan like a vast ocean. They refused to believe he could withstand this assault.

Faced with such an attack, Lin Xuan remained completely unconcerned. He sneered and executed the Cyan Dragon Sky-Hunting Hand. His palm transformed into a Dragon Claw and swiped forward. Instantly, the vast ocean of energy was torn to shreds.

Lin Xuan struck again. The Dragon Claw shot toward one of the Grandmasters. The man swung his long saber to defend himself. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

CRASH!

The saber was sent flying, and the Grandmaster was obliterated by the palm strike. He was killed instantly, without even a chance to scream.

The remaining four Grandmasters attacked frenetically, their assaults landing on Lin Xuan and engulfing him.

"Hahaha, we got him!" the four roared with laughter. Though they had lost a comrade, killing this kid made it all worthwhile.

It’s over. Ye Tian and the others felt their hearts sink to the depths. Is Lin Xuan dead? How could this have happened?

"Trying to kill me? It’s not that easy!" a cold voice suddenly echoed from ahead.

Ye Tian’s spirits lifted. "That’s Lin Xuan’s voice!"

Ye Fei shouted excitedly, "Lin Xuan is still alive! This is wonderful!"

"What? Impossible!" The expressions of the Fang family members changed drastically. The four Grandmasters who had attacked were utterly stunned. Our combined attack couldn’t kill him? That’s impossible!

They refused to believe it. The next moment, a figure emerged from within the swirling storm of energy. It was Lin Xuan, completely unharmed. The attacks hadn’t even been strong enough to breach his defenses. He cultivated the Wanlong Body, after all. His Physique was truly formidable and without peer. Mere four-star Grandmasters couldn’t even dream of injuring him.

"Completely unharmed?" The four Fang family Grandmasters’ eyes almost popped out of their heads. His defense is that strong? What kind of Physique is that? Could he be wearing some kind of super Battle Armor?

"Now it’s your turn to take a hit from me," Lin Xuan said as he attacked again.

Combining his Wanlong Body with the Cyan Dragon Split Heaven Palm, his attack became immensely powerful. His hand seemed to blot out the sky, the Dragon Claw descending to envelop all four Grandmasters. The four men counterattacked frantically, but it was useless.

With a single palm strike, all four Grandmasters were sent flying backward. Their bodies disintegrated, exploding into a mist of blood.

After that one attack, four mighty Grandmasters had been turned to dust.

Lin Xuan retracted his Dragon Claw and said coldly, "Pathetically weak."

The entire manor fell deathly silent. Everyone was utterly dumbfounded. The eyes of the Fang family members looked ready to pop from their sockets. Ye Tian and Ye Fei’s minds went completely blank.

Heavens, what did we just witness? Lin Xuan is far too powerful! His strength is practically heaven-defying! That was the combat power of a five-star Grandmaster!

No wonder Lin Xuan hadn’t taken the Fang family seriously. It wasn’t arrogance; it was real strength. When they looked at him now, it was as if they were gazing upon a living legend.

Across from them, Fang Qingyu’s brow was furrowed tightly. Her previous calm was completely gone. Before, she had seen Lin Xuan as nothing more than a tiny ant, but who could have guessed he was actually a colossal dragon! She had completely misjudged him.

After killing the five Grandmasters, Lin Xuan walked forward until he stood before Fang Qingyu. "What other tricks do you have?" he asked coldly. "Bring them all out."

"Protect Lady Qingyu!"

The other Grandmasters rushed over, forming a defensive line around her. They regarded Lin Xuan as if he were a formidable enemy, yet none of them dared to make a move.

Fang Qingyu’s expression was grave. "I never expected you to possess such strength," she said icily. "In that case, it must have been you who killed Fang Zimo. Fortunately, I have always been a cautious person. This time, I brought a true five-star Grandmaster with me. Otherwise, I really would have been unable to handle you."

After speaking, she bowed toward the empty space beside her. "Third Uncle, I must ask you to act."

"Very well. This Grandmaster shall take action personally."

A cold snort echoed from the void. Then, a middle-aged man appeared, stepping through the air. A powerful aura swept out from him, blanketing the area.

He was, in fact, a five-star Grandmaster.

Fang Qingyu’s lips curled into a cold smile. "Kid, so what if you can fight across realms? Do you really think you can contend with a true five-star Grandmaster?"
