Chapter 306 - The Number One Person of Sword Pond Prefecture!

The terrifying energy fluctuations made the surrounding martial artists tremble; in the face of such power, they were as weak as ants, with no room for resistance.

Even the elders in the stands had their expressions change drastically, as the immense dual swords in the sky now posed a threat to them.

Lin Ye and Great Elder were tense to the extreme, their gazes locked tightly on the scene ahead.

“This is bad!” Great Elder’s complexion turned terrifyingly dark, as if he had seen something dreadful.

“What’s wrong, could it be that Feng’er…” Lin Ye dared not continue the thought.

“Hmph!”

Great Elder snorted coldly and waved his large sleeve.

Instantly, a wild wind surged forward, and a trembling force emerged, tearing apart the red glow of the sword qi.

“Great Elder Lin has actually made a move, could it be that Lin Feng has lost?” The elders in the stands felt the terrifying aura spreading through the air and were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

They were all Melt Spirit Realm martial artists, while Great Elder Lin was a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist, a level above everyone else.

That slight whiff of aura was enough to alarm them.

Second Master Lin looked at the figure of Great Elder Lin, his brow deeply furrowed.

If Great Elder wanted to intervene, they truly had no way to stop him.

After all, he was a bizarre old monster of the Spirit Transformation Realm with incredible strength.

Fortunately, the Clan Leader’s prestige was still intact, otherwise Great Elder Lin would have poisoned them long ago.

In the sky, as if a pair of invisible giant hands tore the violent energy in two, the figure within was revealed.

Everyone looked and cried out in shock.

Lin Feng’s body was covered in horrific sword marks, nearly cleaved in two, and his left arm was severed, blood spraying wildly.

Opposite him, Lin Xuan clutched a broken sword, his complexion pale as paper, on the verge of collapsing.

He had used a martial arts technique that surpassed his body’s limit, suffering severe internal injuries; thankfully, he had ingested Earth Spirit Liquid beforehand, or he would have been crippled already.

But compared to Lin Feng, he was indeed in much better shape.

“This…” Everyone was dumbfounded.

Lin Feng had displayed the strength of the Melt Spirit Realm, even unleashing Earth-grade Martial Arts; not even the elder Melt Spirit Realm martial artists could necessarily withstand his attack.

But he had lost, not only suffering severe injuries but also losing an arm.

Without a heaven-defying Holy Medicine, it’s likely his severed arm could not be reattached!

“Ah!

No—”

Lin Ye roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin Feng was his hope, and without any accidents, he was bound to become a regional overlord.

And he could double his status through his son’s strength.

But now, Lin Feng had an arm chopped off, with his body nearly split in two; even if he recovered, Lin Feng’s strength might be greatly reduced!

Moreover, more importantly, this could potentially become Lin Feng’s Heart Demon.

Great Elder’s complexion was grim, emitting endless killing aura and condensing a sky full of Sword Qi, stabbing in all directions.

The entire stand was pierced like a sieve, the elders retreated in fear, unable to resist the attack of a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist.

A terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Xuan, causing him to sway and vomit blood incessantly.

“Ha ha ha!” Lin Xuan laughed loudly, blood flowing down his mouth.

“The young fail to win, the old come to bully, what great ability!” Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.

“Strike, I’m ready!”

“Hmph, you insignificant worm, you dare to backtalk me?” Great Elder Lin bellowed, his presence growing even more intense.

“Insignificant?” Lin Xuan’s body bled from the pressure yet still laughed wildly, “If I’m insignificant, what is Lin Feng, a top-grade waste?”

“What are you, an old waste?”

Everyone’s hearts raced, Lin Xuan actually dared talk to Great Elder Lin like that, a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist!

Just as Lin Feng began to regain consciousness, he heard Lin Xuan’s taunts, immediately spewing a mouthful of blood and fainting again.

“You little beast, I will kill you!” Seeing Lin Feng’s tragic state, Great Elder Lin could no longer hold back.

He pointed, like a piercing Sword Light, rushing towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan sustained severe internal injuries, unable to move at all.

Had it been anyone else, they would have already lost consciousness.

It was only his exceptional willpower that allowed him to remain lucid.

However, this did not mean he could evade the attack of a Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist.

The Great Dragon Sword Intent condensed, creating a Divine Dragon Protection around his body.

A crazed look shone in Lin Xuan’s eyes.

“No——”

From afar, Second Master Lin charged over, unleashing a hundred-meter-long Sword Qi in an attempt to save Lin Xuan.

“Hmph!” The Great Elder, without turning his head, swung his hand in a backhand stroke, shattering the massive Sword Qi and sent Second Master Lin flying.

A finger of sword light, like lightning, was about to pierce through Lin Xuan.

The giant dragon phantom on Lin Xuan’s body let out a roar to the heavens, and at that moment, the air around violently trembled as the Spiritual Energy of the cosmos coalesced into a shield the size of a house, protecting him.

Immediately after, there came a thunderous roar.

“Who dares to touch my grandson!”

The voice, like thunder, toppled everyone to the ground, as countless people looked around in terror.

The Great Elder’s face darkened; he suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp and long, extending dozens of meters.

“Lin Quan, you truly have become more shameless the older you get, daring to lay a hand on my grandson!” Anger laced the voice with a heavy killing aura.

A terrifying scene formed behind the Great Elder, and with a trace of tremor in his voice, he bellowed, “Lin Ye, you’ve left seclusion!”

Whoosh!

A figure streaked across the sky, descending rapidly as the stormy winds around him sent stones flying in all directions.

This was a grey-haired old man, tall and imposing, with a formidable presence.

He was the Lin Clan’s Leader, Lin Ye!

“Grandfather!” Lin Xuan called out excitedly.

“Good grandson, you fought well in this battle!” Lin Ye said with a genial smile.

“Father, they must not be allowed to hurt Xuan’er!” Second Master Lin shouted from the distance.

“Hmm!” The elder nodded, shielding Lin Xuan by his side as he declared aloud, “Lin Xuan defeated Lin Feng, a fact witnessed by all.

Or do you, Lin Quan, intend to deny it?”

“As the Clan Leader, I announce that the foremost among our family gathering is Lin Xuan!”

The resonant voice spread in all directions as if proclaiming to the world.

It was believed that within a few days, Lin Xuan’s name would resound throughout Xia Country.

The Great Elder sensed the aura emanating from Lin Ye, feeling uncertain: “This old fellow’s aura has grown stronger!”

Finally, he snorted coldly, this matter wouldn’t end just like this!

With those words, he quickly left with the unconscious and seriously injured Lin Feng.

The arrival of the Clan Leader, Lin Ye, once again led to a staggering turn of events.

Lin Xuan had defeated Lin Feng, becoming the foremost of the younger generation in Sword Pond Prefecture, and had earned the precious opportunity to enter the Ancestral Land of the family.

The Lin Clan meeting was held once every ten years, and each time only one person could enter the Ancestral Land.

That was the Forbidden Land of Sword Pond Prefecture, and entry meant that person might very well become the heir to Sword Pond Prefecture.

Envied by all, Lin Xuan was taken away by Second Master Lin to heal his injuries.

Afterward, the Lin Family once again arranged a feast for everyone to enjoy to their hearts’ content.

It was only after three days that people gradually began to leave.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

With the Earth Spirit Liquid and the miraculous use of the Longevity Technique, Lin Xuan quickly recovered.

That very day, Lin Ye summoned Lin Xuan and Second Master Lin.

“Grandfather!” Upon seeing the old man, Lin Xuan’s eyes moistened.

“Alright, Xuan’er, now is not the time for enjoyment,” the elder said in a deep voice, “There’s an urgent matter, listen carefully.”
