Chapter 83 The Great Calamity: Finger Points Against the Seven Absolute Whirlwind Kick

Liu Su made his move once again.

Her movements were even faster than before, like a purple lightning bolt slicing through the night. With a flick of her finger, the wind from her finger was fierce, and the sound of it cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, heading straight for Lin Huaiyuan's chest.

Lin Huaiyuan snorted coldly, his feet not moving, and his right index finger pointed out in the air.

The two finger strikes collided again from a distance.

"Bomb One"

The internal energy surged, and a powerful wind swept in all directions. This collision was even more violent than before, and the bluestone slabs in the courtyard were shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere.

Lin Yourong's expression changed drastically, and she cried out urgently, "Grandpa, don't compete with her in internal energy! Her Tribulation-Breaking Finger True Qi can neutralize the Great Tribulation Finger True Qi!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaiyuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he was about to withdraw his fingers and change his move.

However, Liu Su did not give him that opportunity.

She moved swiftly, closing in on him, her left hand, fingers like hooks, grabbing at Lin Huaiyuan's wrist. The claw was fast and ruthless, the wind from her fingers sharp, blocking Lin Huaiyuan's escape route.

At the same time, her right index finger continued to point out, its force following closely, relentlessly gripping Lin Huaiyuan's true energy.

Lin Huaiyuan had no choice but to accept the challenge head-on.

The two streams of true energy collided once again.

The two streams of true energy collided across the distance, like two torrents colliding fiercely within a small space.

"You old thief, why aren't you dead yet!" Liu Su roared angrily.

Lin Huaiyuan snorted coldly and said, "With this level of skill, you can't neutralize my true energy."

Before he finished speaking, his inner energy suddenly erupted.

The outburst came without warning, yet it was like a torrent of water or a burst dam. A surge of powerful true energy erupted from his dantian, instantly flowing into his right arm and pouring out from his fingertips.

In that instant, a light seemed to emanate from Lin Huaiyuan's fingertips.

That wasn't light; it was the energy released after true qi had been condensed to its extreme.

In that instant, Liu Su felt as if her true energy, which was originally like a knife cutting through water, moved freely, suddenly turned into refined steel, embedding the knife, and she could not break free or move no matter what she did.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming force surged forth, so powerful that Liu Su didn't even have time to react.

She was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, sent flying backward, tumbling twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground more than three zhang away.

"Bang""

The bluestone slabs shattered, and dust flew everywhere.

Liu Su coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale. She struggled to get up, but could only prop herself up on one side before collapsing back down, gasping for breath, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Impossible—this is impossible—"

Her voice was hoarse and trembling as she stared intently at Lin Huaiyuan, "Why can't your true energy dissipate?"

Lin Huaiyuan withdrew his fingers, stood with his hands behind his back, and remained calm. He looked down at the disheveled Liu Su on the ground and said in a flat tone, "The Great Calamity Finger at the ninth level is worlds apart from the Great Calamity Finger at the eighth level. You can neutralize the Seventh Brother's true energy, but that doesn't mean you can neutralize mine."

After saying that, Lin Huaiyuan asked, "Liu Su, when did you join the Heavenly Demon Sect? You've been with my Lin family for over twenty years, and the Lin family has never mistreated you in the slightest. Why are you doing this?"

Liu Su let out a cold laugh, her voice filled with hatred, and said, "Why? You ask me why?"

She struggled to sit up, then sat on the ground, screaming hysterically, "I hate! I hate your Lin family! I hate Lin Yuanhu! I hate you, Lin Huaiyuan!"

She stretched out her trembling hand, pointing at Lin Huaiyuan, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred: "Back then, I was in the prime of my life, beautiful as a flower, and should have had a happy life, but what about you? You, Lin Huaiyuan, relied on the power of the Lin family to force my father to make me marry you, this good-for-nothing son of his, who is a eunuch!"

You forced me to marry a eunuch! A eunuch who can't have sex! You've made me live a life of widowhood! Lin Huaiyuan, you've ruined my life! And you still have the nerve to ask me why I did it?

These words caused an uproar in the room.

All eyes turned to Lin Yuanhu.

Lin Yuanhu's face flushed crimson, the red spreading from his neck to his ears. His lips trembled violently; he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word. His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Then, he suddenly turned around and staggered out of the courtyard. After a couple of steps, he tripped and almost fell, but he didn't bother to steady himself and stumbled out, disappearing outside the gate.

In the courtyard, everyone had different expressions.

Lin Huaiyuan looked at Liu Su and sighed softly: "So, this is why you're willing to destroy my Lin family?"

Liu Su raised her head, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with madness: "That's right! I'm going to destroy the Lin family! I'll make you, Lin Huaiyuan, watch helplessly as the Lin family, which you care about most, is destroyed bit by bit!"

She suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was shaking, tears streaming down her face: "Do you know how Lin Changqing was ambushed? Do you know why he didn't even get a clear look at the assailant's face?"

Lin Huaiyuan looked puzzled.

Liu Su's laughter grew even more manic and unrestrained: "Because at that time, he was on top of me, having sex with me!"

I held his legs tightly between mine, and all he could see was my face! Of course, he didn't know who had made the move!

These words exploded like a thunderclap in the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned.

Liu Su laughed loudly and said, "Your Lin family is truly interesting. One is a villain, one is a eunuch, and one is having an affair with his sister-in-law. Do you know how I obtained your Lin family's complete Great Calamity Finger Manual? I stole it from Lin Changqing!"

Lin Huaiyuan let out a long sigh. In that sigh, there was helplessness, self-blame, and an indescribable weariness.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "You hate the wrong person. Back then, it was your father who took the initiative to approach the Lin family for a marriage alliance. I told your father the truth about Yuanhu's situation at the time, without hiding anything. But your father begged me to arrange this marriage in order to curry favor with the Lin family."

To protect Yuanhu's reputation, I had already intended to arrange a marriage for him, so I readily agreed to the marriage. Moreover, your father told me at the time that you agreed and had no objections, which is why I allowed you to marry Yuanhu.

Liu Su stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lin Huaiyuan turned his gaze to the back of the crowd, his voice suddenly rising: "Liu Xuan, you speak for yourself!"

Everyone's eyes followed Lin Huaiyuan's gaze.

At the back of the crowd, an old man was huddled in a corner, preparing to slip away. He was wearing a dark gray robe, with white hair and beard, and his face was covered with wrinkles. He was Liu Su's father, Liu Xuan.

At this moment, Liu Xuan's face was paler than paper. His lips trembled, his eyes darted around, and he dared not look at anyone, let alone Liu Su sitting on the ground.

"I—" His voice was hoarse and dry, as if squeezed from his throat, "I—"

"Father!" Liu Su knelt on the ground, staring intently at Liu Xuan, her eyes filled with disbelief. "You lied to me?"

Liu Xuan opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and finally managed to utter a few words with difficulty: "Su'er—I—I'm also doing this for the Liu family—".

Liu Su's body stiffened abruptly.

Her face turned as white as paper in that instant, and the madness and hatred in her eyes were extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water, replaced by an empty, desperate stillness.

Liu Xuan walked out trembling and said, "I'm so sorry, Su'er, I..."

Just then, Liu Xuan's demeanor suddenly changed, and he stomped his foot.

"boom""

In an instant, all the bluestone slabs in the courtyard shattered, and the shards, like hailstones whipped up by a gale, scattered in all directions. The fragments ranged in size from millstones to fists, and, carrying a sharp gust of wind, hurtled towards the people in the courtyard.

Caught off guard, the Lin family members scrambled for cover. Several elders were struck by the pebbles, screaming as they collapsed in disarray. The dozens of people who had been gathered in the courtyard were scattered and broken up by the sudden rain of pebbles.

In the midst of the chaos, Liu Xuan suddenly sprang into action.

His figure was like a gray lightning bolt, weaving through the flying pebbles, and in the blink of an eye, he was about ten feet in front of Lin Huaiyuan.

Then, he leaped up and kicked out with his right leg.

In that instant, the air distorted, and the sky was filled with the shadows of legs.

A dense array of leg imprints exploded in the air, like hundreds of iron whips striking simultaneously. The leg shadows, some real and some illusory, some fast and some slow, intertwined and layered, making it impossible to distinguish which leg was real and which was fake.

Immediately afterwards, countless leg shadows suddenly retracted and converged into one.

The leg shadow was enormous, like an invisible giant foot descending from the sky, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and stomped down on Lin Huaiyuan's head.

Before the legs even arrived, the strong wind had already swept in. The pebbles on the ground were whipped up by the wind and flew to both sides. The lanterns in the courtyard were blown this way and that.

Lin Huaiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Without thinking, he suddenly pointed out with his right index finger.

An extremely powerful finger strike shot out from the fingertip, like an invisible sword, piercing straight towards the huge leg shadow.

The force of the fingers collided with the shadow of the leg in mid-air.

"boom"

A deafening roar erupted, like a thunderclap.

True energy surged, and a powerful wind spread in all directions.

The shockwave rippled outwards from the two men, causing the blue bricks on the courtyard wall to crumble and fall. The windows of several side rooms were shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere. The courtyard wall directly opposite the two men could no longer withstand the immense force and collapsed in half with a loud crash, sending bricks and stones tumbling to the ground.

Amidst the flying debris, Liu Xuan kicked his leg in mid-air.

His body was suspended in mid-air, maintaining the outstretched leg position, his legs as still as if nailed to the void.

Lin Huaiyuan stood on the ground, raising his right index finger and pointing at Liu Xuan in the air.

Their inner energy collided in mid-air, creating an invisible force field between their two fingers and one leg. Dust in the air was stirred up, forming a visible vortex between them. Gravel on the ground was sucked up and spun within the vortex.

The collisions and shattering produced a series of loud cracking sounds.

The two engaged in a battle of internal energy.

At this very moment—

Liu Su, who had been lying on the ground barely breathing, suddenly moved.

She suddenly flipped herself up and pointed a finger.

Breaking Calamity Finger.

The force of the finger pierced the air, and a sharp whistling sound tore through the night wind, heading straight for Lin Huaiyuan's back.

This finger strike had been brewing for a long time and was extremely ruthless.

"Unrepentant!"

Lin Huaiyuan's expression darkened, and he flicked his left hand backward, pointing his index finger out in mid-air. Another burst of finger energy shot out from his fingertip, arriving first despite being launched later, colliding with Liu Su's Tribulation-Breaking Finger Energy in mid-air.

"Bomb One"

Another loud bang.

The three streams of true energy intertwined, making the wind even stronger. The stone tables and benches in the courtyard were overturned, the flowers, plants, and trees were uprooted, and broken bricks and tiles flew everywhere.

Lin Huaiyuan, facing two opponents, gradually grew serious.

His left hand's finger strength countered Liu Su's, while his right hand's finger strength countered Liu Xuan's. The two forces, with different directions and natures, acted on him simultaneously, making it difficult for his internal energy to circulate.

But after all, he had cultivated internal energy for seventy years, and his internal strength was incomparably profound.

He took a deep breath, and his inner energy surged from his dantian, allowing him to withstand the attacks of the two men.

However, the next moment—

Lin Huaiyuan's expression suddenly changed.

To his horror, he discovered that the true energy he was using to fight Liu Su in his left hand was being drawn in by something, and was uncontrollably rushing towards Liu Su.

It wasn't dissolved, it was absorbed.

His inner energy is rapidly dissipating.

Lin Huaiyuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly understood.

The true killing move of the Breaking Calamity Finger is not to neutralize the Great Calamity Finger's true energy, but to absorb it.

He was misled by the fact that the Lin family's true energy had been neutralized earlier.

Dissolving internal energy and absorbing internal energy are two completely different things and cannot be compared at all!

At this moment, the killing intent has arrived!

Feeling the surging internal energy within his body, a ruthless glint flashed in Lin Huaiyuan's eyes, and he made a decisive move. He gritted his teeth, and with a sudden tremor of his left hand, he actually severed the meridians in his left arm.

"puff-

—"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Lin Huaiyuan's mouth.

His left arm hung limply, like a puppet with its strings cut, and he could no longer lift it.

Amputation to survive.

With her left arm severed, the connection between her and Liu Su's true energy was completely cut off. Liu Su lost her target, and the suction force suddenly missed its mark. She staggered back a few steps, almost falling over, as her own strength carried her away.

However, at that very moment, Liu Xuan suddenly exerted force with his leg.

The enormous leg shadow that had been suspended in mid-air suddenly sank down, taking advantage of Lin Huaiyuan's unbalanced defense after losing his left arm, and stomped down hard.

"boom-

"6

Lin Huaiyuan was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling twice in the air before crashing heavily into the dilapidated courtyard wall behind him.

The wall collapsed with a crash, burying half of his body beneath the bricks and stones.

Amidst the swirling dust, Lin Huaiyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining his chest. His face instantly turned deathly pale, his breath became weak, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.

"grandfather!"

Lin Yourong exclaimed in surprise.

All of this happened too fast, in the blink of an eye. The stones that Liu Xuan had kicked away hadn't even hit the ground yet, and Lin Yourong had just knocked down the flying stones in front of her.

She rushed to Lin Huaiyuan's side, squatted down, and reached out to support his shoulder.

"father!"

Lin Yuanshan also rushed over, standing in front of Lin Huaiyuan, glaring angrily at Liu Xuan and Liu Su.

The Lin family members rushed forward, surrounding Lin Huaiyuan. Several people drew their weapons, pointing them at Liu Xuan and Liu Su, but dared not advance rashly.

Liu Xuan landed back on the ground, stood with his hands behind his back, and his expression remained unchanged.

Liu Su also stood beside Liu Xuan. Her face was still pale, but the madness in her eyes had been replaced by a cold killing intent.

Lin Huaiyuan forced himself to stand up, took a few deep breaths, and slowly raised his head.

His gaze fell on Liu Xuan, on that leg, on the lingering effect of that astonishing leg technique, and he said coldly, "What a magnificent Seven Absolute Whirlwind Leg!"

"Zhou Jinyuan, why are you hiding your true colors!"

Liu Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Old Master Lin, I don't know what you're talking about. This is the Heavenly God Leg technique that I, Liu Xuan, have created over many years. It's to avenge the time you forced me to sell my daughter to your Lin family."

Lin Huaiyuan knew that Zhou Jinyuan was trying to cover up the truth, and said coldly, "Fine, you can deny it if you want. I don't care if you're Zhou Jinyuan or Liu Xuan today. Since you want to destroy my Lin family, I'll take you down with me!"

Liu Xuan spoke up, "Old Master Lin, I can also give your Lin family a way out. As long as you commit suicide now to atone for your sins, I will immediately take Liu Su and leave the Lin family!"

"Grandpa, don't listen to him," Lin Yourong quickly said, "He just wants to trick you into committing suicide!"

"Sir, do not listen to this man's words!"

"————"

The Lin family members were all filled with righteous indignation.

"Liu Xuan" continued, "Old Master Lin, you should know that if I were to go on a killing spree, not a single member of the Lin family would survive today. You should think carefully!"

Lin Huaiyuan stared at "Liu Xuan" and slowly said, "Do you really think I'm senile? Even in a situation where death is inevitable, I wouldn't willingly throw away my sword and risk my life to gamble on my enemy keeping his word!"

After saying this, Lin Huaiyuan looked at Lin Yourong and said, "Yourong, you take the lead and stop Liu Su. I'll take care of Zhou Jinyuan." He took a deep breath and said heavily, "From now on, the Lin family is in your hands!"

"grandfather!"

Lin Yourong's heart tightened.

Lin Huaiyuan smiled slightly, his eyes filled with determination, and said, "From the moment we are born, we have enjoyed the support and offerings of the entire family. Naturally, we should be prepared to sacrifice everything for the family at any time. There's nothing more to say."

Lin Yourong nodded slightly and said, "Grandpa, I understand."

Immediately, Lin Huaiyuan took a step forward and looked at "Liu Xuan". In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense.

Just then, an untimely voice came from the back room: "Gentlemen, could you please be a little quieter? I have patients here!"

In an instant, everyone looked over.

The door to the room opened, and Gu Guanqi walked out carrying a sword. Behind him was Lin Youcai carrying Lin Changqing on his back.

Lin Changqing was shirtless, his back covered in acupuncture needles, and he was barely breathing.

Lin Youcai looked around, didn't dare to make a sound, and carried Lin Changqing away to the side, quickly running out the side door.

Liu Xuan and Liu Su paid no attention to Lin Youcai and the crippled Lin Changqing; they both focused their attention on Gu Guanqi.

Liu Xuan chuckled and said, "I almost forgot about you, kid. You've ruined my plans time and time again. You deserve to die. I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you still dare to step forward!"

Lin Huaiyuan hurriedly called out, "Hero Gu, your martial arts are superb. Please help You Rong stop Liu Su. Leave Zhou Jinyuan to me. Don't put yourself in danger. Our Lin family can't afford to owe you such a huge favor!"

Gu Guanqi waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, the Lin family doesn't owe me any favors. The moment that guy sent Yue Xiaotian to kill me, we were already mortal enemies!"

As he spoke, Gu Guanqi looked at "Liu Xuan" again and said, "To be honest, I don't really understand the point of your attempt to cover up the truth. You are impersonating Liu Xuan, but anyone with eyes can see that you are Zhou Jinyuan. Even if you successfully kill Old Master Lin, your identity as a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect will be closely watched by the Six Doors, and your Zhou family will be destroyed."

Liu Xuan chuckled, "Why would a dead man know so much?"

"Then let's see who dies!"

Gu Guanqi suddenly drew his sword and charged at Liu Xuan.
