After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

An incredibly refined sword intent suddenly emanated from the clouds!

That sword intent was vast and boundless, as if it came from the heavens above, or from the depths of the endless starry sky!

The three of them felt an overwhelming and domineering sword intent rushing towards them, even though they were just standing there.

It felt as if thousands of invisible sword energies were pressing against vital points such as the throat, heart, and dantian!

With just a single thought from the other party, they would die on the spot!

The three of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and their spines went cold!

"Please forgive me, senior! I have been very rude!"

"I'll be leaving now! I'll be leaving now!"

The three dared not utter another word, and their figures flashed away.

He then fled frantically into the distance, utterly disheveled and devoid of any semblance of the majesty of a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

The person above the clouds ignored them and instead looked at the scene below with a somewhat nervous expression.

The cultivators below, who were at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, had no idea what a breathtaking scene was unfolding in the void.

Their gazes remained fixed on the figure in the center of the giant pit.

Lin Fengmian slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He had multiple wounds on his body, some so deep that bone was visible, and he was covered in blood.

But those eyes remained as bright as stars, even more intense than before.

He raised his head, gazing at the still churning storm clouds in the sky, and suddenly let out a long roar:

"Damn it, this is it!"

The sound roared and soared into the sky!

There was not a trace of relief at surviving a disaster in that voice, only the arrogance and wildness of youth!

It's as if it's saying: Go ahead and chop, I'll admit defeat if you even frown!

The surrounding cultivators were all deeply moved upon hearing this!

"What an arrogant kid!"

"I've never seen anyone in my thirty years of cultivation dare to defy the Heavenly Tribulation like this!"

"This is a true prodigy! This is true spirit!"

The gazes of countless people toward Lin Fengmian were filled with awe and admiration.

In the crowd, Xiao Xiyue stared blankly at the figure covered in blood yet still standing tall like a pine tree, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.

This...this is the lecherous man who stole my virginity?

He actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage? And he caused such a huge commotion?

Her gaze fell on the shocking wounds on his body.

The blood that had just dried on the corner of his mouth suddenly caused an indescribable pang of pain in my heart.

The stinging pain came out of nowhere, yet it was so real that she couldn't ignore it.

She instinctively clenched her sleeve, her knuckles turning white.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the crowd.

A woman in white also stared intently at the figure, her beautiful eyes filled with heartache and worry.

She gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, wrinkling the fine brocade, but she was completely unaware of it.

Brother Fengmian... how could you be so stupid! Why didn't you tell me you were at the Foundation Establishment stage?!

Yun Caiyue bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.

If I were by your side, at least... at least I could protect you and give you elixirs...

The calamity clouds in the sky still hadn't dissipated.

Instead, it surged even more violently, with faint flashes of lightning in the clouds, growing denser and heavier with each passing moment.

That oppressive force was even more terrifying than the three heavenly lightning bolts combined!

Lin Fengmian looked up at the increasingly thick tribulation clouds and gritted his teeth.

He could sense that the next attack was a true killing blow!

But he did not back down.

We cannot return it.

He took a deep breath and shouted at the sky again:

"If you're so capable, then kill me with your sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds of calamity suddenly froze!

immediately--

"Boom!"

A muffled rumble of thunder came from the depths of the clouds, like the roar of the heavens!

Lightning bolts gathered wildly in the clouds, but instead of falling directly, they were brewing and accumulating!

The terrifying pressure grew heavier and heavier, making it difficult for cultivators within a radius of dozens of miles to breathe!

Everyone held their breath.

If that blow lands, can the boy withstand it?

And at that very moment—

A chilling laugh suddenly rang out!

"Lin Fengmian! It really is you!"

A figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd!

The man's face was sinister, and his eyes were brimming with murderous intent!

It was Ye Fan!

He searched the crowd for any trace of Lin Fengmian, but to no avail.

This place is vast and boundless; if the other party intends to hide, he simply cannot find them.

I had planned to give up and thought I'd go back to my sect first.

Before leaving, he decided to take a look around to see which fool dared to undergo tribulation here and cause such a commotion.

Unexpectedly—

Upon looking, he unexpectedly saw that hateful figure!

Lin Fengmian!

That good-for-nothing! He's almost reached the Foundation Establishment stage after just a few months!

Ye Fan stared intently at the blood-soaked figure, his heart filled with intense jealousy and hatred!

This bastard must have some incredible opportunity!

Otherwise, how could a useless person with five spiritual roots possibly have cultivated from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few months?!

Moreover, ever since Lin Fengmian appeared, all the fairies he had his eye on—Chu Qingyi, Nangong Li, and so on—have run off with this bastard!

At this moment, this bastard who has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage has caused such a commotion, attracting countless cultivators to watch, and even a Nascent Soul True Monarch has appeared!

Why should I?!

Even Ye Fan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land and a late-stage Foundation Establishment genius, didn't receive this kind of treatment!

Why should this piece of trash have it?!

Ye Fan's killing intent surged!

This child must not be allowed to live!

His gaze swept across the sky, and he saw that the tribulation clouds were still gathering and had not yet fallen.

He sneered inwardly.

Since the heavenly tribulation couldn't kill you, then let me send you on your way!

He flashed, transforming into a streak of light, wielding a gleaming flying sword, and fiercely stabbed towards Lin Fengmian's back!

The sword energy pierced the air, its sharpness unmatched!

"Boy, you dare steal my Daoist partner! Today you'll leave your life behind!"

He used all his strength in that sword strike!

His late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation erupted without reservation, his sword light like a rainbow, aiming straight for Lin Fengmian's back!

Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding cultivators immediately let out a series of angry exclamations!

"Shameless!"

"Who is this?! How dare they launch a sneak attack while a cultivator is undergoing tribulation!"

"Despicable scoundrel!"

When a cultivator undergoes tribulation, they are at their weakest.

Moreover, as fellow cultivators, who hasn't faced tribulations?

As a righteous nation, Zhao has always maintained a pure and upright atmosphere. Even if two people have deep-seated hatred for each other, very few people would choose to make a move when the other is undergoing tribulation!

This is the most despicable behavior in the cultivation world!

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Xiyue could no longer suppress the piercing pain in her heart!

She almost instinctively wanted to rush forward!

But the sword light was too fast!

It was so fast that she didn't even have time to react!

That sharp sword energy had already reached within three zhang of Lin Fengmian!

Lin Fengmian was focused on dealing with the tribulation clouds in the sky and had no time to spare for anything else!

At the critical moment—

In the sky, the long-brewing calamity cloud finally moved!

But it didn't fall on Lin Fengmian!

But -

In an instant, a ray of lightning split off and struck down fiercely towards Ye Fan!
