Chapter 48: The Power of Wei Tong, A Shocking Entrance!
Wei Tong was facing two enemies at once—Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao—and still had the upper hand. Both were badly injured and barely able to retaliate.
Just as he was about to finish one of them off, he heard Gu Ying's desperate cry for help.
"Useless trash!"
Seeing Gu Ying on the verge of death, Wei Tong cursed.
But despite his anger, Gu Ying was still the Deputy Sect Master and the Bloodclad Sect's only Two-Seal Rune Master—he couldn't let him die.
So Wei Tong gave up his advantage over Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao and blasted forward like a cannonball, flying straight toward Lin Dong and Gu Ying.
At the same time, he raised his right palm, condensing a blazing light of Pure Yuan Qi, and unleashed a terrifying strike toward Lin Dong.
Whoosh!
A hurricane-like force swept through, blowing away all of Lin Dong's Fragmented Yuansteel needles, before slamming toward him.
Already exhausted from his fight with Gu Ying—especially in terms of spiritual power—Lin Dong's reaction was slowed.
He tried to dodge but was too late. At the last moment, he twisted his body slightly.
Boom!
The devastating palm slammed into his body.
He flew back like a rag doll, spitting blood, and crashed heavily to the ground. He couldn't even stand.
"He's not dead?"
Wei Tong frowned in dissatisfaction and charged again, intent on finishing him.
"Dong'er!"
Seeing this, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao cried out and rushed forward, blocking Wei Tong's path despite their injuries.
"Hmph! If you want to die, I'll kill you first—then deal with the boy!"
Wei Tong sneered and launched another furious assault.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao, already injured, were quickly overwhelmed and forced to defend with no chance to counterattack.
Seeing this, the hawk-nosed elder's eyes gleamed with malice. He attempted to slip away and finish off Lin Dong.
At that critical moment, Xiao Yan burst out from the battlefield, intercepting the elder in a vicious clash.
One man, one tiger—fighting fiercely, evenly matched.
"Huo'er, help my father and grandfather!"
Qingtan, who had been assisting Xiao Yan and Huo'er in taking down Bloodclad Sect disciples, spotted the danger and redirected Huo'er.
Roar!
With a thunderous growl, Huo'er lunged at Wei Tong, jaws wide, aiming for his throat.
"Filthy beast! You want to die?!"
Wei Tong sensed the threat, turned swiftly, and struck at Huo'er's head with a Pure Yuan Qi-infused palm.
But Huo'er, agile and swift, dodged.
With Huo'er joining the fray, Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao were momentarily out of danger.
However, the overall situation still looked grim.
Wei Tong alone was overpowering two Yuan Dan experts and a spirit beast, and even then, he had the upper hand. If not for Huo'er's nimbleness, it would've been over.
But saving them had left Huo'er wounded as well—she couldn't abandon them to flee.
Only one thing went in Lin family's favor—Xiao Yan and Huo'er had already taken down several Heaven Origin experts from the Bloodclad Sect.
Now, only three remained: Wei Tong's son, Wei Hu, and two others.
Lin Ken and Lin Mang, working together, were holding off the remaining three surprisingly well—largely because Wei Hu was the weakest, dragging his allies down.
"Qingtan, have Huo'er and Xiao Yan take you and Lin Dong and flee! Take Lin Fan with you too!"
Lin Zhentian shouted from the wall, noticing Huo'er couldn't fight freely while protecting them.
While they were holding on for now, he feared that once Wei Tong took down Huo'er, all hope would be lost.
He had underestimated the difference between Small Yuan Dan and Peak Yuan Dan Realm.
Now it seemed that Wei Tong alone could destroy the entire Lin family!
"Heh… now you want to run? Too late."
A cold voice suddenly echoed.
It was Gu Ying, barely alive but recovered just enough to rise. His gaze burned with killing intent as he looked at Lin Dong.
At his sides, two sword-like spiritual constructs hovered ominously.
His gaze swept across Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and Qingtan. He chuckled darkly:
"Now… who should I kill first?"
Everyone's faces paled. A deep sense of despair settled in.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Gu Ying's eyes flashed, and he launched both sword-like attacks toward Lin Xiao and Qingtan.
BOOM!
At that exact moment, a terrifying wave of spiritual power surged from deep within Tiemu Manor.
The force swept outward like a raging flood, stopping everyone—Lin family and Bloodclad alike—in their tracks.
Gu Ying and the hawk-nosed elder trembled in alarm.
Even Wei Tong's expression finally changed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three palm-sized short swords tore through the air.
Two intercepted Gu Ying's spiritual attacks.
The third pierced straight through his throat before he could react.
Gu Ying collapsed, dead before he hit the ground.
A moment later, a young man in blue robes, no more than seventeen or eighteen, descended from the sky—riding two flying swords!
Whoa—!
The entire battlefield was thrown into uproar.
Flying swords to kill from afar was already shocking.
But this youth was actually flying through the air!
Even Peak Yuan Dan Realm cultivators couldn't do that.
Everyone stared in awe.
The young man was, of course—Lin Fan.
After breaking through to Three-Seal Rune Master, he had sensed Qingtan and Lin Xiao were in danger. Immediately, he used spiritual force to control the Seven Star Sword, flew across the manor, and launched three swords to save them and kill Gu Ying.
"Lin Fan-ge, you're finally here!"
Qingtan was the first to react, beaming with joy.
"Sorry I'm late."
Lin Fan descended beside her and smiled apologetically.
"Leave the rest to me."
He turned around, eyes cold, and locked onto Wei Tong.
Killing intent radiated from his gaze.
