"Thud thud..." Zhou Ming's body was directly repelled, the opponent's attack power had reached the peak level of an eighth-tier Martial General, almost infinitely close to a ninth-tier Martial General. However, Zhou Ming had distinctly felt that the opponent was only a fifth-tier Martial General just before, this power was too terrifying.

  "Thud thud..." Li Lin's body was also being directly repelled at this moment. With the protection of the Qing Ling Armor and a surge of blood qi within his body, Zhou Ming's strength, close to the peak of a ninth-tier Martial General and only a step away from Martial Marshal, was absolutely formidable.

  However, at the same time as being repelled, Li Lin formed a strange hand seal in an instant. True qi burst out from specific meridians on his arm. Suddenly, with a fist clenched and a loud shout, "Earth's Fury!"

  As Li Lin's shout fell, his inner true qi burst out overwhelmingly, rapidly condensing into a yellowish-brown fist imprint in front of him, carrying an extremely terrifying momentum, and then raising a horrifying gale with its roar.

  Just as Li Lin stabilized his body after being repelled, he immediately bent down on one knee, and this punch shattered the space, heavily smashing onto the ground in front of him.

  With this punch, the ground in front of Li Lin suddenly cracked open, revealing a fissure tens of meters wide, instantly spreading towards Zhou Ming in front with a shocking speed.

  "Crack crack..." The ground shook violently like an earthquake, instantly cracking up to the front of Zhou Ming. The terrifying power poured out like a flood near Zhou Ming, only to hear a crackling sound, immediately the ground within a radius of more than a thousand meters around Zhou Ming completely cracked, spreading like a spider web, with rubble shooting out, carrying a gale that penetrated space.

  At this moment, Zhou Ming was completely terrified, the violent power was too horrifying, and this martial technique, just like the one just before, was not ordinary, probably reaching the initial stage of the Xuan level. In panic, Zhou Ming's figure rapidly retreated, and a thick mist of water energy shield was instantly deployed around him.

  However, within a radius of more than a thousand meters, the ground was completely cracked, Zhou Ming was unable to retreat at this moment, Li Lin's attack was too fast, so fast that he was caught off guard.

  "Bang bang!" The ground cracked and then began to explode, the entire area of thousands of meters like a mountain collapse and ground fissure sinking. Within a kilometer space, an indestructible terrifying power surged skyward, opening up spatial ripples at the same time, instantly enveloping Zhou Ming.

  Outside Zhou Ming, the dense mist of water shield cracked, the cracks spreading and then also violently shattered. A surge of airwave force instantly fell on Zhou Ming, directly blasting him flying out, eventually heavily falling to the ground.

  "Pfft! Pfft..." At the same time, such terrifying power almost instantly affected a space of more than a thousand meters, immediately causing hundreds of Tianyi Sect disciples nearby to spit out blood, their bodies blasted flying and crashing, skidding on the ground for hundreds of meters, dead or alive, at this moment, no one among these hundreds of people went to check, but most likely were either dead or seriously injured.

  This shows that on the ground, Li Lin's "Earth's Fury" destroyed a plaza of more than a thousand meters, the ground blasted and sank, revealing a deep pit of thousands of meters, this violent power was truly horrifying.

  "Pfft..." At this time, Zhou Ming also spat out a mouthful of blood mist with a shocked expression, his complexion extremely pale, struggling to get up, his gaze already somewhat panic-stricken and surprised towards Li Lin.

  Countering Li Lin's first move, the Melancholic Spirit Vanishing Palm, he was not injured and even faintly had the upper hand, but was consumed nearly one-third of his true qi under the eerie effect of the Melancholic Spirit Vanishing Palm. Now, countering Li Lin's recently mastered "Earth's Fury," plus Li Lin's instant attack, he had not expected Li Lin's speed to be so fast, hence he was injured.

  Three years ago, he had witnessed Li Lin's strength as only that of a Martial Master, but three years later, his strength as a ninth-tier Martial General, was severely injured in two moves, this all left him horrified. At this time, he also realized, Li Lin was a tri-elemental martial artist, back at the sect conference of the Ghost Martial Sect, Li Lin had displayed earth and fire attributes, just now he displayed wood attribute, the opponent turned out to be a tri-elemental martial artist.

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Li Lin stood still, indeed a ninth-tier Martial General's strength was strong, his own consecutive attacks with two Xuan-level low-grade martial techniques, only slightly injured him, to kill him, he had to use another trump card, although Li Lin wanted to try the power of Xuan-level mid-grade martial techniques at this time, unfortunately, he hasn't reached the level to activate several sets of Xuan-level mid-grade martial techniques.

  "Shh..." Li Lin's figure moved again, with a whirlwind under his feet, his figure disappeared on the spot like a ghost, only a faint green afterimage could be seen.

  "Water Mist Annihilation Technique." Seeing Li Lin making a move again, Zhou Ming gritted his teeth and formed a hand seal, instantly, a vast water attribute gathered around him, the edges of his body starting to distort as if, the terrifying energy aftermath spreading across the sky, at this moment, Zhou Ming's aura also crazily surged.

  "Shh shh..." The entire space was instantly condensed with blue mist, covering the entire area in an instant, the powerful aura spreading, the space ripples violently shaking.

  "Phantom Spirit Seal." When Li Lin's figure was maximally close to Zhou Ming, a strange light shot out from his eyes, the fluctuation of his aura, an omnipresent mysterious attacking force, immediately enveloped towards Zhou Ming.

  In an instant, Zhou Ming looked towards Li Lin, and immediately, his eyes glazed over, his mind assaulted. At that moment, as his mind was under attack, his first reaction was undoubtedly realizing that the other party was still a spirit practitioner.

  "Cold Ice Seal!"

  At that very instant, following a deep shout that echoed through the space, a massive energy handprint, hundreds of meters in size, suddenly materialized in his hand. The entire space suddenly experienced a rapid drop in temperature, a cold icy energy spread out, freezing the spatial ripples, and the cold air ravaged the space.

  "Go." With the last handprint struck, Li Lin coldly shouted, pushing out this massive energy palm print. In that moment, an intense cold icy energy surged like waves, rapidly spreading out. As the palm print passed, the space instantly froze in a very strange state, causing everyone fighting nearby to suddenly shiver.

  "Ssst!"

  The pervasive cold icy energy in the air immediately sealed the space around Zhou Ming, followed by a loud sonic boom echoing through the space...

  "Bang bang!"

  The entire frozen space began to violently burst apart, the bone-chilling cold icy energy spreading out, a violent force exploded overhead, and the shattered ice turned into energy and disappeared.

  Under such a ferocious attack, the force swept across space, making the entire space of over a thousand meters turbid. When the force dissipated, Zhou Ming's figure reappeared within it.

  Looking at Li Lin in front of him, Zhou Ming's eyes were filled with terror, and his complexion had turned dreadfully pale.

  "Ptui!"

  As his body trembled, Zhou Ming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with shattered organs. The blood, carrying a tinge of purple from being frozen, weakly looked at Li Lin: "You're still a spirit..."

  "Come here." Li Lin coldly said, and as his voice fell, several finger seals instantly landed on Zhou Ming. At this moment, Zhou Ming had no power to resist and was immediately restrained.

  Li Lin's gaze then swept across the entire square, where the sounds of fierce combat echoed like continuous thunder. Underneath several large beasts, countless warriors became easy prey. Zhou Yu Hou and other Flying Spirit Gate disciples had also joined the outer battlefield, pursuing the fleeing disciples of Tian Yi Sect.

  Scanning over, Li Lin raised an eyebrow; the disciples of Tian Yi Sect had no power to resist.

  "Whoosh..."

  Leaping forward, Li Lin, carrying Zhou Ming, immediately entered the Tian Yi Sect's grand hall, into a quiet room. There, Li Lin looked at Zhou Ming with a cold smirk.

  Zhou Ming, utterly terrified, was also silenced, unable to speak, looking extremely weak.

  "A Ninth Level Martial General, severely injured, should be able to devour now," Li Lin muttered. Then, between his hands, a swirl of Qi turned into a spinning airflow, and with a thunderous motion, it was affixed to Zhou Ming's heavenly spirit cover.

  Under a tremendous devouring force, Zhou Ming's face twisted ferociously, and after a moment, he turned into a dried corpse. Under the spiritual fire in Li Lin's palm, he immediately turned into ashes.

  "Such a majestic Qi," Li Lin muttered, his complexion slightly reddening as if he was overstuffed from binge eating. Under the severe injury and weakened state of Zhou Ming, a Ninth Level Martial General, Li Lin had originally estimated that he could easily devour him. However, he hadn't anticipated that even under severe injury, Zhou Ming's Qi would be so vast. Having completed the devouring, Li Lin had reached his limit; any more and he would have to give up. This might be what is called 'a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.' Even under severe injury, the Qi in Zhou Ming's dantian was not to be underestimated.

  Feeling the energy of the Qi he had devoured, Li Lin estimated that after refining it, he could break through to the Sixth Level Martial General, with some to spare.

  Having also employed the Soul Searching technique just now, Li Lin had obtained much information from Zhou Ming's mind about the Ghost Martial Sect. With this information, knowing oneself and the enemy, it would be much easier to deal with the Ghost Martial Sect.

  At this moment, Li Lin also had a general understanding of his own strength. With the strength of a Fifth Level Martial General, leveraging the vast dantian Qi sea, strong physique, and speed advantage, he could generally contend against a Seventh Level Martial General without issue, but killing them might be somewhat difficult.
