Chapter 454: 244. Send him to his death, ruin her future! (Two-in-one Chapter)

With Lin Chi’s death, the condensed Sword Qi also began to dissipate.

A Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm expert, seeking mutual destruction with a resentful strike, attacked ferociously, his power like cascading waterfalls and a descending galaxy.

This was a Confucian Sect Divine Faculty, long passed down in the Jiangzhou Lin Clan’s teachings, known as the Nine Heavens Streaming Sword.

The Destiny Star God from the Celestial Master Mansion had Talisman Scriptures orbiting its form like a Star River, providing unified offense and defense. But as Lei Jun stood his ground, not dodging or evading, the Vast and Righteous Sword Qi shattered many of these outer Talisman Scriptures and struck him directly.

Yet, he did not avoid it, for he had his own assurances.

Just as the starlight Dharma was about to crack, the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights reinforced him once more.

As Lei Jun’s own Cultivation reached the Upper Three Heavens level, he could draw upon even more of the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights than before.

Blocked consecutively by the Star River Talismans and the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, Lin Chi’s Sword Qi, like an arrow at the end of its flight, finally halted, albeit reluctantly.

Conversely, when the ancestral land was breached earlier, Lin Chi had been one of the high-ranking members presiding over the sacrifice. Due to the repercussions of the disrupted sacrifice—an energetic backlash—numerous Sacrificial Instruments were destroyed, with only the Dragon Serpent Pen surviving. This backlash not only injured Lin Chi and the others but also stripped them of the protection of their Spiritual Treasures.

Lin Chi, initially wary of long-range attacks, had single-mindedly rushed to close the distance.

By the time he saw Lei Jun and realized the anticipated Mount Shu expert or Confucian Sect Divine Archer was nowhere to be found, he sensed something was amiss. He managed to stop, preparing to control the distance and attack Lei Jun from afar with his Vast and Righteous Sword Qi. But by then, it was already too late.

Lei Jun’s speed and strength far exceeded Lin Chi’s expectations. He, in turn, rapidly closed the distance to Lin Chi.

His close combat prowess surpassed that of many Martial Tao experts. With a single, ferocious strike, he killed this Lin Clan Elder—one with whom he’d had an ill-fated connection from the Cangling River Valley and Tiansong Mountain incidents, though they had never truly met face-to-face.

Previously, Lin Lang and the others had been killed from a distance by the Magnetosword Pellets, and the remaining Lin Clan members had not even been able to see their attacker.

Now, they watched from afar. Amidst the rising dust and collapsing mountains, starlight glittered. The towering Doumu Star God Dharma stood firm, forcefully shattering Lin Chi’s Vast and Righteous Sword Qi.

Although Sword Qi and starlight interwove, earth and stone tumbled, and winds raged, the distant onlookers could not clearly discern the specifics of the great battle.

But the dissipation of Literary Splendor Talent signaled that Lin Chi had followed Lin Lang and the others to his doom.

Yet another Great Scholar of the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm from the Lin Clan had fallen.

Originally, the Lin Clan in their Jiangzhou ancestral land had ten experts of the Upper Three Heavens.

But with the ancestral land breached, over half of them fell in a mere moment.

Two Eighth Heavenly Layer Great Scholars were engaged: one battled Tang Xiaotang, while the other struggled against the Locking Scholar Shackles.

Of the remaining three Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm Lin Clan Elders, two were from collateral branches and had always been closer to Lin Yuwei.

Earlier, only Lin Che had escaped back to the Jiangzhou ancestral land. Lin Yuwei was nowhere to be seen, and they had temporarily lost contact. This made these two elders uneasy.

Faced with this drastic change—an enemy demonstrating formidable strength and a seemingly endless repertoire of bizarre tactics, their numbers still unknown—these two Lin Clan Elders began to contemplate retreat.

From afar, Clan Chief Lin Che observed his clansmen’s mentality with perfect clarity. At this moment, he could only let out a long sigh.

Witnessing his own son Lin Lang die had, paradoxically, cooled his earlier rage, making him calm again.

Now, sensing Lin Chi’s death as well, Lin Che grew even more alarmed.

He had previously sensed that there weren’t many enemies in that direction.

But the moment the Doumu Star God Dharma appeared, Lin Che became uncertain.

The uncertainty about the enemy’s numbers and their hidden deployments was the most unsettling part.

Moreover, he could not afford to divert his senses to monitor the situation over there.

Facing Tang Xiaotang demanded his full concentration; he had none to spare.

Lin Che, as the primary leader of the great sacrifice in the ancestral land, had been profoundly affected.

Now, even with the Dragon Serpent Pen in hand, as time wore on, he found it increasingly difficult to withstand Tang Xiaotang’s attacks.

With so many clan members dead or injured, the situation was collapsing like a landslide.

As Clan Chief, Lin Che made a swift decision, roaring, "Go!"

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no lack of firewood.

The ancestral land is lost. We cannot afford to be whittled down to nothing in a stubborn fight here.

The more people who escape, the greater the chance to continue our cultural pulse and restore the clan’s prestige in the future.

Even he himself needed to leave the ancestral land to stabilize his injuries as quickly as possible.

He wielded his pen like a sword, making several swift strokes. A torrent of Vast Integrity Qi flowed like the Grand River, spanning the heavens.

For an instant, it resembled a vast river of time, rolling endlessly onward.

A secret transmission from the Jiangzhou Lin Clan’s family teachings, a great Confucian Sect Divine Skill: The Grand River Flows East!

Lin Che, like a lone skiff, rode this river of time downstream, evading Tang Xiaotang’s Purple Lightning Dragon and vanishing in an instant.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save Elder Lin Chou.

Although advancing in years, Lin Chou, an Eighth Heavenly Layer Realm expert, was undoubtedly one of the most crucial pillars of the current Jiangzhou Lin Clan.

But Lin Chou was trapped by the Locking Scholar Shackles. Despite his constant struggle, he was fixed in place, unable to move.

Lin Che wanted to help destroy the Locking Scholar Shackles, but The Grand River Flows East had only bought him an instant.

In that fleeting instant, thunder roared behind him again. Lin Che could already feel the Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder catching up.

Helpless, Lin Che could only pour all his effort into fleeing forward.

Behind him, the golden Pure Yang Thunder Dragon pursued relentlessly. The purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, meanwhile, had transformed into a purple thundercloud, circling this Golden Light Thunder Dragon.

The two sides, one fleeing and one pursuing, vanished into the distance in an instant.

Upon receiving Lin Che’s Orders, the other Lin Clan members scattered without any further hesitation. Even then, they were still unsure how many enemies they faced. Most chose to attempt a breakout by scattering in different directions.

In reality, no one was actually surrounding them.

After Lei Jun killed Lin Chi, although he remained vigilant of his surroundings, his primary target was no longer the remaining Seventh Layer of Heaven cultivators.
