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

next moment--

A thought flashed through his mind!

From within his dantian, three streams of light suddenly shot into the sky!

Little Heavenly Gang Sword!

Shadow Sword!

Golden Sword!

Three flying swords hovered overhead, their blades humming and radiating sword energy! Crimson gold, dark black, and pale gold lights intertwined, illuminating the entire hall even brighter!

"go!"

Lin Fengmian pointed forward with his fingers like a sword!

Three flying swords shot out simultaneously, slashing fiercely at the pillar of light!

"Boom boom boom—!"

The sword energy exploded, and the pillar of light trembled violently!

But this is only the beginning.

Lin Fengmian's hand seals changed, and three flying swords lined up in the air, their tips all pointing at the beam of light, like three never-ending cannons, frantically spewing out sword energy!

One!

Ten!

One hundred paths!

Countless sword energies poured down like a torrential rain, so dense they almost formed a continuous mass! The sharp sword energies tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, forming a terrifying network of firepower in front of Lin Fengmian.

Sword energies surged forth one after another, growing faster and denser!

Inside the main hall, the already dim pillar of light trembled violently again under the bombardment of the violent sword energy, its light flickering erratically!

The surrounding cultivators fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the figure in the blue robe in disbelief.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

"How come his spiritual energy seems inexhaustible?!"

"To control three flying swords simultaneously and maintain such a high frequency of attacks? How powerful must this person's spiritual sense be?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

But soon, someone snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Even if this kid has a lot of spiritual energy, he's almost at the end. This pillar of light is about to shatter; he's far from being able to keep up!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators all nodded in agreement.

"That's right! If he had arrived an hour earlier, he might have actually been able to compete with us. Now—it's too late!"

"Even if his attacks are fierce, he can't possibly surpass us in such a short time!"

"That's right! Don't worry, this technique has nothing to do with him anymore!"

The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves, then stopped paying attention to Lin Fengmian and continued to focus on attacking the pillar of light.

The three Xiong brothers stood behind Lin Fengmian, watching this scene with a sense of regret.

Xiong Da sighed and whispered to his two younger brothers, "Big brother is too late, otherwise this merit would definitely be his."

Xiong Er nodded: "Yes, it's all Ye Fan's fault and Xiao Huohuo's fault for wasting so much of Big Brother's time."

Xiong San shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity..."

At this moment, Lin Fengmian remained calm, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

He wasn't flustered at all.

because--

He possesses the magnificent sword energy Gu given to him by Zhao Yun'er.

That thing is perfect for burst damage.

This kind of restriction that requires dealing high damage in a short period of time is practically tailor-made for him!

Lin Fengmian kept his eyes fixed on the beam of light, his hands constantly forming hand seals, and his three flying swords continued to frantically spew out sword energy.

He is waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

The pillar of light was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the combined attack of everyone; its light grew dimmer and its trembling became more and more violent.

Lin Fengmian could sense that it wouldn't last much longer.

He took a deep breath and circulated his spiritual energy to its maximum.

Within his dantian, the newly forged perfect Dao foundation was radiating a dazzling light!

Five-colored spiritual light shone brightly, and spiritual power surged out like a tide, continuously pouring into the three flying swords!

This is the terrifying aspect of a perfect Dao foundation!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators need to meditate to recover when their spiritual energy is exhausted.

But Lin Fengmian, with his five spiritual roots, absorbs the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth several times faster than ordinary people. With the added blessing of his perfect Dao foundation, his spiritual energy recovery speed is terrifying!

Time passed by, second by second.

The beam of light grew dimmer and dimmer, and trembled more and more violently.

Everyone's attacks became more ferocious, each person wanting to contribute as much as possible in the final moments and compete for the highest damage ranking.

Lin Fengmian, however, was still waiting.

finally--

The beam of light trembled slightly.

That tremor was different from any of the previous ones. It wasn't the tremor caused by an attack, but rather—as if something within it was awakening, struggling, and gathering its last strength!

Lin Fengmian's pupils contracted slightly.

It's now!

He suddenly activated the perfect Dao foundation in his dantian!

"boom--!"

Within his dantian, the perfect Dao foundation suddenly erupted with dazzling five-colored light! Spiritual power surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, pouring into the three flying swords!

The three flying swords simultaneously emitted a high-pitched sword cry, their blades trembled, and their sword energy surged!

But not enough.

With a thought, Lin Fengmian's sword-qi Gu, which had been quietly dormant deep within his dantian, suddenly opened its eyes!

It was a small Gu worm with a pale gold body and sword-shaped patterns on its back.

It had been dormant in Lin Fengmian's dantian for a long time, feeding on sword energy, and had accumulated an immeasurable amount of power.

At that moment, it sensed its master's call and suddenly let out a clear, melodious buzz!

"Buzz—!"

The sound was like the ringing of a sword, but clearer and more resonant!

The next moment, a magnificent sword aura flew out from Lin Fengmian's dantian and hovered above his head!

The sword-shaped pattern on its back suddenly lit up, and a mysterious power emanated from its body, instantly enveloping all the sword energy emitted by the three flying swords!

"The sword energy is magnificent!"

Lin Fengmian roared!

In an instant, the countless sword energies scattered throughout the hall seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and simultaneously ceased their attack.

They hovered in mid-air, their sword tips all pointing at the beam of light, trembling slightly.

Then--

All the sword energy exploded simultaneously!

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the hall!

Countless sword energies exploded at the same moment, and their terrifying power converged into an extremely dazzling white light, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime!

Within the white light, the pillar of light only lasted for less than a breath before it shattered with a deafening roar!

"boom--!"

A violent shockwave erupted from where the pillar of light shattered, sweeping out in all directions!

The surrounding cultivators were forced to retreat by the sudden shockwave, and those with lower cultivation levels even staggered and fell to the ground!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the spot where the beam of light shattered, their eyes filled with disbelief!

"What...what the hell is this?!"

"That attack... could a Foundation Establishment cultivator really unleash it?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell; everyone was stunned by what they had just witnessed.

And right under everyone's watchful eyes—

A beam of emerald green light shot out from the white light!

It was a jade tube, its entire surface a vibrant green, radiating a warm, lustrous glow.

It drew a graceful arc in the air, passing over everyone's heads, and flew straight towards Lin Fengmian!
