"What a fool." The moment Lin Zong took out his bell, their defeat was nothing but assured.

With a single slash, Theo killed another ten people before heading for another few.

"Iron—"

"Haaa!"

"Uwaaa!"

The people were scrambling in panic. Not only was Theo fast, but he also applied illusion to create an afterimage, making them think that Theo was heading straight toward them.

Those who got fooled activated their abilities too early. In the end, they were killed once they lowered their guards.

Lin Zong, who was watching everything unfold from the back, couldn’t help but drop his jaw. "What is happening? Isn’t it only one person?"

He simply couldn’t believe that a single person was actually able to kill so many disciples.

"You bastard. You dare to kill the disciples of the Ancient Body Sect? The sect won’t let you off!" Lin Zong shouted.

However, Theo simply ignored him and continued killing the rest of the people without giving them any mercy.

It only took him another five minutes to completely eradicate every single disciple except for Lin Zong. He was the one who talked too much to the point that death was a salvation for him.

Theo stood in front of Lin Zong with the blood of the Ancient Body Sect’s disciples on his body.

Lin Zong couldn’t help but tremble. The killing intent that vanished earlier had once again shrouded his body.

"You… You…" Lin Zong didn’t know what he should do. On the one hand, he had to escape from here. As long as he was alive, he could inform the sect so that Theo would be hunted down. On the other hand, his body refused to move.

Theo took a step forward, approaching him. The step was light, but Lin Zong felt like his eardrums were about to explode. The second step made his heart beat so fast that it was about to fall off. The third step caused his body to convulse uncontrollably.

"You… if you dare to hurt me, the sect won’t let you off!"

Theo didn’t care about the threat as he took the fourth step.

"My father is the sect master of the Ancient Body Sect! He is—!" Lin Zong abruptly stopped when Theo took the fifth step.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" Lin Zong realized that nothing would stop Theo, so he mustered the last bit of his energy to punch Theo. However, the pressure actually took a toll on his body.

When he tried to punch Theo, he felt that his energy was completely gone, making his movement sluggish.

Theo didn’t hesitate to cut the arm that wanted to punch him.

"Aaaaahhhh!" Lin Zong screamed in pain while holding his arm. "You… If you stop now, I can let bygones be bygones."

Tears began to form on the corner of his eyes as Theo raised his blade. It would definitely strike him.

"No, no. I don’t want to die. Please, don’t kill me."

Theo looked at this pathetic man and said coldly, "It seems that you are so confident about your father and sect. In the end, you are just people who bully the weak but fear the strong."

All of a sudden, a powerful burst of energy shook the area as this energy lifted up Lin Zong and Theo.

"Since you are so confident, then let’s see if you can withstand my anger." Theo waved his hand.

All of a sudden, a portal was opened before them. It was the same portal as the one they used to enter this place.

"A portal? Space Element?" Lin Zong looked at Theo in shock. When they crossed it, they actually came out of the monument.

Before Lin Zong could call out the elder that was supposed to escort him, Theo used another portal to reach a different place.

This time, they had arrived at a giant mountain. Lin Zong couldn’t help but gasp. "The sect…"

Yes, this was the Ancient Body Sect. He never thought that he would be back here with just a single portal.

"This is the legendary space element." Lin Zong was dumbstruck. He obviously had heard about the Space Emperor in the past, the one that helped the Fist Emperor construct this place. However, this was the first time he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Theo wasn’t done yet.

"This is your sect? In that case, let the sect and your father pay for what you have done!"

Lin Zong didn’t know what Theo was talking about, but with a wave of his hand, a giant portal appeared above the sect.

"Come out and destroy this place!" Theo shouted.

All of a sudden, another mountain came out of Theo’s portal, falling right at his sect.

"What?" Lin Zong couldn’t believe what he saw. There was no way Theo could transport a giant mountain, but what made him believe the mountain was his sect was the huge barrier that protected the sect.

The translucent barrier formed a dome on top of the mountain, withstanding the weight of a single mountain.

While he had heard that someone could destroy a mountain with a single palm, he had never heard anyone withstand the weight of a mountain.

All of a sudden, the sect’s barrier shattered like glasses.

"What? The sect’s great protection array is…" Lin Zong dropped his jaw to the ground as the mountain came crashing down to the sect.

A huge explosion occurred, shattering the mountain. A lot of people came out to block the mountain, but it was useless.

They ended up getting overwhelmed by the piece of mountain. All of a sudden, a huge dragon emerged from the portal and let out a deafening roar. More and more monsters came out to attack the city.

Suddenly, a huge palm appeared, trying to slap the dragon.

"It’s father!" Lin Zong’s eyes brightened, but he soon panicked when the dragon actually destroyed the palm with a single bite. After that, the dragon let out a fire breath.

Lin Zong’s father tried to protect himself, but the dragon’s fire was hotter than the magma. It ended up engulfing him as a whole and bringing him down.

"What?" Lin Zong couldn’t believe that his mighty father just went down like that. Lin Zong looked at Theo in fear. "You… You…"

Theo looked cold and indifferent as if destroying a single sect didn’t really matter to him. Before Lin Zong could say another word, his father had actually come while shouting, "Hurry up and run away. Why were we attacked like this?"

His father was helping some disciples and elders escape the sect.

That was when he saw Lin Zong.

"Eh?!" He was stupefied.

"Fa-father!" Lin Zong crawled to his father before pointing at Theo. "Father. He killed the disciples of our sect and he even cut my arm! He was the one who created that giant gate."

Theo snorted. "Your son has threatened me and my daughter. It seems that he dares to do it because he has you and your sect behind him. So, I decided to destroy it."

"Your daughter?!" Lin Zong didn’t know anything about this. In fact, Theo looked so young that he shouldn’t have a daughter yet.

"You destroy my sect just because of that?"

"Just because of that? I think you misunderstand me. You, your sect, or even your son should have destroyed or ruined people’s homes and killed or humiliated their entire family. So, I’m simply doing the same thing, but on a grander scale." Theo smirked.

"You…" The guy spat a mouthful of blood. How could he do this?

"Just like you, I have the power to do it. But well, it seems that I have killed a lot of innocent people. So, I’m giving you a chance. Your son wanted to humiliate my daughter. What do you think you should do in order to appease my anger?"

The guy’s expression turned grim.

"F-Father?!" Lin Zong’s face became pale as his father looked at him. It was clear what he wanted to do.

Without hesitation, his father grasped his neck as if he wanted to crush him.

"Father!" Lin Zong grabbed his father’s arms, trying to stop him.

"You ungrateful son. Do you know what you have done?"

The grip became even more powerful, making Lin Zong have a hard time breathing.

"I… I…" Lin Zong wanted to say something, but in the end, he died before uttering the words.

And the entire scene soon shattered like glasses, showing that everything was just an illusion. Theo had returned to reality, looking at Lin Zong falling to the ground.

In his neck, there was a hand mark even though Theo didn’t touch him the whole time. It was the same as what happened to the other disciples who got affected by the illusion. The wound was actually transmitted to their body and registered by their brain.

With this, Lin Zong died while believing that his father was the one who killed him and that his sect was destroyed.

Looking at his body, Theo couldn’t help but let out a sigh. "Maybe I should have tortured him more. But if it’s more than that, I wonder if the author will skip it since it might be inappropriate for a lot of people."

After killing him, Theo finally calmed down. He hurriedly rushed to Mia and checked her condition.

Qin Beihe was dumbfounded, not realizing what had just happened. Theo actually defeated all fifty disciples, including Lin Zong. While it showed his prowess, it also meant that Theo would be chased by the Ancient Body Sect.

And she, as a witness, might not be allowed to live through this.

"I… I…" Qin Beihe hurriedly swore. "With the heavens as my witness, I solemnly sweat that I, Qin Beihe, won’t tell anyone what happened in this place."

There was a thunderous sound rumbling in the sky as if it were responding to Qin Beihe’s oath.

Theo remained silent the whole time as he checked Mia’s condition. The wound wasn’t that bad. Most of them were superficial. However, she had exhausted most of her power, which was the reason she was in this weakened state.

As long as she got a proper rest, she would be fine.

The horses were protecting Mia carefully and stood by next to them as if they were ready to use their own bodies to block any attacks.

"Thank you." Theo smiled at the two horses. "I will take over from here, so you guys can continue drinking the rhino’s blood."

*Ngieehh!*

After giving the instruction, Theo finally said to Qin Beihe, "Do you want to live or die?"

"I…" Qin Beihe trembled. If Theo could kill Lin Zong, there was no way he would be afraid of her. "I want to live."

Theo grabbed her mouth all of a sudden. She was bewildered and scared, but she was soon astounded when she saw a floating figure that looked exactly like her coming out of her body.

"This… this is…" Her vision soon went blank before it switched to the blue figure’s perspective. "Eh, that’s my body."

Yes, she was staring at the body Theo grabbed from a different perspective. All of a sudden, a translucent chain appeared and circled around her neck.

"This is a chain that will restrict you, and you won’t be able to find or even remove it. It only has one purpose, which you have seen." Theo paused for a moment before continuing, "Try thinking about you telling someone else about what happened here."

Qin Beihe didn’t know what he was talking about, but she tried to follow the instructions, only to find excruciating pain all over her body.

"Aaaahhhh!"

Soon, her vision returned to her body’s perspective.

"There you have it. Don’t tell anyone about what happened here." Theo looked at her coldly. The chain was only an illusion. However, Theo didn’t lie about it.

The ’chain’ in his mouth was actually a threat that would restrict her. It was just a simple metaphor. She wouldn’t be able to find or remove it because it was just an illusion. Theo didn’t even say anything about the purpose and just let Qin Beihe draw her own conclusion.

The only instruction was to not tell anyone about what happened here. Scared, Qin Beihe definitely didn’t dare even think about it.

Theo let out a sigh. Since everything had been settled and his daughter was fine, he finally had the time to calm down and check the comments.
