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

It was as if he was facing not a Qi Refining cultivator, but a humanoid demon beast!

The two disciples who were about to step forward froze, their feet rooted to the spot.

They exchanged a glance and both saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.

Lin Fengmian's gaze swept over Zhao Yun'er, who was bound by vines.

When he saw the tear stains still wet at the corners of her eyes, a murderous intent suddenly surged in his eyes!

"You...you're asking for it."

The two of them immediately lost their previous confidence.

Reason screamed frantically—This person is not to be messed with! Absolutely not to be messed with!

"S-Senior, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

The leading disciple of the Xuan Tian Holy Land hurriedly waved his hand, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

As he spoke, he quietly moved backward in small steps.

Another disciple nodded repeatedly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead:

"Yes, yes, yes! It was a misunderstanding! We didn't know this young lady was one of your people. We are very sorry for any offense, and we hope you will forgive us!"

Alarm bells rang in their minds, and all they wanted was to get out of this awful place as quickly as possible.

As for Bodhi Jade Dates?

I'm about to lose my life, what do I need dates for!

however--

Did I tell you to leave?

That hoarse voice rang out again.

The two of them froze in their tracks.

The next moment, Lin Fengmian moved!

There were no fancy movements, no dazzling spells.

He simply threw a single punch at the two of them!

The wind howled from the punch!

A visible shockwave suddenly exploded in the air!

The two were terrified and almost instinctively unleashed their strongest defensive measures!

"Water Curtain Sky Splendor!"

The disciple skilled in water-based techniques frantically formed hand seals.

A curtain of azure water, several times thicker than before, condensed and formed in front of him.

The water ripples and sparkles with light!

"Entwined with green wood!"

Another disciple also fought desperately, his hands flashing through various hand seals.

Dozens of thick, emerald-green vines suddenly shot out from the ground.

Like giant pythons, they coiled around Lin Fengmian!

At the same time, the two of them pushed off with their feet and sped away without looking back!

They exchanged a glance, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes.

Although this person had an intimidating aura, he was only at the Qi Refining stage after all.

His own Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor is the family's secret technique, which emphasizes using minimal force to overcome great strength. Even cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment can withstand a few blows from it!

Junior Brother's Green Wood Entanglement is a superior binding technique; ordinary cultivators who are entangled by it simply cannot break free!

If they can hold him off for just a moment, they can escape to their senior brother's side—

But the next second—

"Pfft!"

A soft sound.

The disciple, who was rushing forward, suddenly slowed down.

He looked down, staring in horror at his chest.

A fist suddenly appeared there!

Blood was everywhere.

"How...is this possible..."

He murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His own Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor... failed to block it?

He didn't even feel pain; he only felt a chill in his chest, followed by an overwhelming darkness engulfing him.

"Bang!"

Another muffled thud was heard at the same time.

The disciple who was controlling the vines also looked down at his own blood-stained fist on his chest.

His eyes were also filled with disbelief.

One punch.

Just one punch.

Their defenses, along with their will to live, were shattered.

Lin Fengmian shook his hand, tossing the two corpses aside as if they were trash.

"Bang, bang."

The two bodies crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The remaining disciple

The Xuan Tian Holy Land disciple who was controlling the puppet was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He opened his mouth wide, making a "clucking" sound in his throat, but couldn't utter a single word.

What...what monster?!

One punch!

Just one punch!

It shattered their proud defenses along with their lives!

It should be noted that these two are renowned defensive experts among the inner disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land during the Qi Refining stage!

The defense they combined was so strong that even a Foundation Establishment senior brother would have a hard time breaking through it in one strike!

But now—

It was punched right through?!

Could this person be a body cultivator?!

No, even a body cultivator couldn't possibly have this kind of power during the Qi Refining stage!

This is clearly... the strength of a second-tier body cultivator!

Equivalent to the body cultivation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

The disciple's legs went weak.

Just then, Lin Fengmian turned his gaze to him.

His gaze was cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead person.

The disciple shuddered; the fear of death finally ignited his will to survive!

He frantically made hand seals and chanted incantations.

"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"

The devices on the backs of nearly twenty puppets fired simultaneously!

One after another, puppets flew out of the storage bag, densely packed in front of him!

Each of these puppets is equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining!

With twenty of them working together, even a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment would have to give way!

"Go to hell!"

He roared and used all his spiritual power to activate the puppet!

Twenty puppets simultaneously raised their arms, pointing their cannons at Lin Fengmian—

Ke Lin Fengmian did not move.

He merely glanced at Zhao Yun'er, who was still trapped in the vines.

The vines still bound her tightly, making her face pale.

Lin Fengmian frowned.

next moment--

He flashed and appeared directly next to Zhao Yun'er!

"Idiot! Go away! Don't worry about me!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun'er quickly called out, her voice trembling.

She had just witnessed the attack power of those puppets with her own eyes!

A single spirit energy blast can create a crater over ten feet deep!

Twenty units firing simultaneously would be powerful enough to level a small mountain!

No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly withstand it head-on.

However, Lin Fengmian simply reached out and picked her up horizontally.

He held her petite, soft body tightly in his arms, pressing her close to his chest.

Zhao Yun'er froze.

"you--"

"fine."

Lin Fengmian looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

That smile was calm and composed.

"Perfect, I want to test my current defense."

As soon as the words fell—

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

Twenty puppets opened fire simultaneously!

Countless spiritual energy projectiles rained down like a storm, instantly engulfing the two of them!

A blinding light exploded, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere!

The deafening explosion shook the entire valley!

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Upon seeing this, the disciple couldn't help but laugh wildly to the sky!

"I thought he was so impressive! Turns out he's just a fool who only has eyes for women!"

He laughed so hard he was doubled over, his face contorted with madness.

"Twenty puppets firing simultaneously would surely kill even a Foundation Establishment cultivator! To dare to withstand that—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

His laughter stopped abruptly.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A figure slowly emerged.

Lin Fengmian remained standing in the same spot, still holding Zhao Yun'er tightly in his arms.

And at this moment, that body was radiating a faint jade-like luster!

Its luster is warm and understated, yet it gives people a sense of indestructible solidity!

Zhao Yun'er was protected in his arms and was completely unharmed.
