Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

boom!

The vortex of spiritual energy exploded deep within the cave, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently.

Lin Wan'er's feet were still dangling in mid-air above the cave entrance when an overwhelming and violent pressure, far beyond comprehension, swept over her.

Dozens of Lin family elites behind her were thrown away by this force almost at the same moment. Some crashed into the rock wall, while others tumbled several times before barely managing to regain their balance.

"How is that possible!"

An elder of the Lin family got up from the ground, his legs trembling uncontrollably, his face full of horror.

Foundation Establishment stage? This is the Foundation Establishment stage?

This pressure is more than ten times more domineering than the Golden Core stage cultivators of their Lin family. How can a rogue cultivator who has been chased for several days unleash such power in just a few days?

Deep inside the cave, the fire blazed brightly.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

The black robe fluttered in the surging spiritual energy, and with each step, a spiderweb-like pattern appeared on the charred rock beneath his feet.

He was surrounded by golden-red flames, which were not ordinary spiritual fires, but terrifying streams of flames that emitted three completely different colors!

It seems that the properties of the Samadhi Fire have been completely integrated into his Qi and blood meridians.

Two golden-red flames flickered in Su Xuan's eyes as he glanced at the group of disheveled Lin family cultivators outside the cave.

His gaze finally settled on the woman at the front, who was holding a long sword and dressed in a black outfit.

Lin Wan'er.

interesting.

Su Xuan stood still, hands behind his back, flames surging wildly around him.

He stared at Lin Wan'er for a few moments, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was devoid of any warmth, filled with utter sarcasm.

"Miss Lin, it's been a long time."

Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth and tried her best to withstand the oppressive force. She held her long sword horizontally in front of her, the blade trembling slightly.

Her hair and clothes were blown backward by the blast of air, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Su Xuan, you killed my elder brother!"

"Kill him."

Su Xuan answered crisply and decisively, without any concealment.

Lin Wan'er was startled.

Su Xuan took a step forward, and the oppressive aura suddenly intensified, forcing Lin Wan'er to take a half step back.

"That dog Lin Tianyu ambushed me, trying to take my life and steal the sacred artifact."

Su Xuan's words came crashing down on him, one word at a time.

"He died by my hand, he deserved to die. But you, Lin Wan'er! Who took the knife for you back then?"

That sentence hit the spot that hurt the most.

Lin Wan'er's body stiffened for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed across her pale face, but only for a moment.

The next moment, that complexity was swallowed up by an overwhelming hatred.

"That was back then!" Her voice was sharp and hoarse.

"You saved my life, and I'm grateful. But you killed my elder brother—that's a different matter! Blood debts must be paid in blood, it's only right and proper!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan's smile vanished completely.

Excessive kindness only breeds ingrates.

"OK."

In short, clean and efficient.

"Then let's go."

Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth and let out a sudden roar, pouring out her early Foundation Establishment spiritual power into the longsword left by her brother.

A sharp sword light, carrying a chilling aura, pierced straight towards Su Xuan's face.

This sword strike was imbued with all her cultivation and hatred; the sword energy tore through the air, moving so fast that the surrounding Lin family cultivators only saw a flash of white light.

Su Xuan didn't even move.

He simply raised his right index finger.

A golden-red flame condensed at the fingertip and was lightly flicked out.

That tiny flame looked insignificant, but it exploded the moment it touched the sword light.

The terrifying heat of the Samadhi True Fire instantly burned the sword energy that Lin Wan'er had gathered with all her strength into nothingness, and the remaining explosive energy flowed directly into Lin Wan'er's arm along the sword.

puff!

The longsword flew out of his hand.

Lin Wan'er's tiger's mouth split open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. She was thrown away by the recoil and crashed heavily onto a pile of rocks more than ten feet away.

one move.

Just one move.

They didn't even last a single encounter.

"Young Miss!"

Several Lin family guards rushed forward to support Lin Wan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, her eyes red and staring intently in Su Xuan's direction.

The elders and elites of the Lin family standing at the rear exchanged glances, their expressions shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Although the young lady is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, this rogue cultivator's strength is clearly far superior to others of the same level.

However, they have several elders at the peak of Foundation Establishment and more than a dozen elites in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, totaling nearly forty people.

How strong can a newly established Foundation Establishment stage kid be?

"Attack! Kill him! Avenge the young master!"

The leader, a Foundation Establishment Peak elder, was the first to attack. He summoned a black flying sword, which transformed into a streak of light and aimed straight for Su Xuan's throat.

Following closely behind, the other three Foundation Establishment Peak Elders simultaneously made their move, their various magical artifacts radiating brilliant light, sealing off Su Xuan's escape route.

The remaining dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators also swarmed forward, unleashing a barrage of spells from all directions, filling the entire space with spiritual light.

The encirclement and attack have been completed.

Su Xuan stood still, watching as countless magical artifacts and spells swept in.

Asura Body, fully activated.

boom!

The golden-red flames around him surged several times over at this moment, transforming into a raging sea of ​​fire that swept wildly in all directions.

Each wisp of that flame carried the destructive properties of Samadhi Fire, burning whatever it touched—magical artifacts, spiritual energy shields, all melted into molten iron the instant they came into contact.

He moved.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in front of the Foundation Establishment Peak Elder who had made the first move.

The old man's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly returned his flying sword to defend.

late.

Su Xuan unleashed a punch, his fist enveloped in the concentrated essence of Samadhi True Fire, the terrifying heat causing the air to whistle.

The punch slammed into the black flying sword, shattering it into dust on the spot. The remaining force pierced through the old man's protective aura and penetrated his chest.

puff.

The moment the old man's body came into contact with the Samadhi Fire, it began to burn from the inside out. Before he could even let out a scream, he was turned into a ball of flames and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

One punch.

Peak Foundation Establishment, one punch.

"No, that's impossible..."

The second elder gasped in shock and instinctively tried to back away.

Su Xuan gave no one time to react.

His figure weaved through the sea of ​​fire, each step leaving behind a trail of Samadhi True Fire. He moved so fast that only a streak of golden-red light could be seen raging through the crowd.

The second punch instantly melted the protective artifact of the second Foundation Establishment Peak Elder. The force of the punch penetrated through his dantian, shattering the metal and killing him instantly.

The third punch, the fourth punch.

With every punch, someone is instantly obliterated.

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were originally so aggressive and clamoring to avenge the young master completely collapsed at this moment.

Their spells couldn't even leave a white mark on Su Xuan, and the magical artifacts melted as soon as they touched the protective layer of flames.

"Run! Run!" Someone shouted first, and the remaining dozen or so Lin family cultivators turned and fled.

No one can escape.

With a wave of his hand, Su Xuan transformed the sea of ​​fire into dozens of fiery serpents, precisely catching up with each fleeing figure. Screams rose and fell, but each one was extremely brief; the Samadhi True Fire burned so fast that even the pain didn't have time to linger.

It took no more than ten breaths in total.

More than forty elite members of the Lin family, including four old monsters at the peak of Foundation Establishment, were all unable to withstand a single move from Su Xuan's fists.

The ritual implements shattered on the ground, turning into twisted and deformed lumps of scrap iron, and the air was filled with the scorching smell of burning metal.

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

The live chat exploded.

"Holy crap! What is this?! Forty people wiped out in ten seconds?"

"A peak Foundation Establishment cultivator is defeated in one punch? Su Shen, are you sure you just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"The Samadhi True Fire is too abnormal! It melts any magical artifacts it touches; who can withstand that!"

"Awesome! That's fucking awesome! We chased Su Shen for days and nights trying to kill him, only to be wiped out right away. The Lin family practically gave Su Shen free experience points!"

"Is this the terrifying power of an unparalleled Dao Foundation cultivator? 'Invincible among those of the same level' doesn't even begin to describe it; this is crushing an opponent across a major realm!"

Inside the forbidden area, Su Ruo covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

I'm not sad, I'm happy, I'm happy for my brother.

They chased him for so long, wanted to kill him for so long, and now they're all dead. Serves them right. The ground was covered in charred remains, smoke rising.

Lin Wan'er knelt on the pile of rubble, her legs numb, blood spreading from her lacerated hand to her elbow.

Her gaze swept over the hellish battlefield.

None of the four Foundation Establishment Peak Elders and more than a dozen family elites remained in human form.

They were all reduced to charred remains, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein.

Ten breaths.

From the first punch to the last wisp of fire engulfing the last escapee, it took no more than ten breaths.

Lin Wan'er loosened her grip, and the longsword left by her brother fell to the ground with a clang, the crisp sound of metal striking rock particularly clear.

She didn't pick it up again.

It's pointless.

The gap between her and this man could not be bridged by a sword, nor by a group of people; it was an abyss with no end in sight.

She slowly closed her eyes.

He stopped running and begged for mercy, offering his neck for execution, only wishing for a swift death.

But the moment I closed my eyes, a scene suddenly surged out from the depths of my memory!

It's him.

He carried me across the mountains! He braved dangers and returned to Thunder City!

At that moment, a seed was planted in her heart.

Now, she has crushed that seed with her own hands, leaving not even a trace.

Lin Wan'er didn't open her eyes; her lips moved slightly, and her voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

"Let's get started."

Su Xuan looked down at the woman kneeling in the pool of blood, waiting to be slaughtered.

He bent down and pulled a relatively intact longsword from the hand of a charred corpse at his feet.

The sword blade was slightly deformed by the Samadhi Fire, but it remained sharp enough.

He raised his sword.

A fragment of their past life in the mountains flashed through my mind.

In the world of cultivation, kindness is a death warrant.

He had already proven this ironclad rule long ago; today is just another footnote to it.

The sword fell.

Without hesitation or slowing down, a flash of cold light went straight for Lin Wan'er's neck.

Just as the blade was less than three inches from her neck—

A furious roar exploded across the sky!

"stop!"

The roar carried a tangible spiritual energy impact, causing the entire valley to tremble, and boulders tumbled down from the cliffs on both sides.

An overwhelming pressure, so terrifying it was suffocating, poured down from the highest point, locking down every inch of Su Xuan's muscles.

Jindan period!

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of spiritual energy as thick as a water vat cleaved down from the clouds and struck the sword in Su Xuan's hand with pinpoint accuracy.

boom!

The explosive shockwave overturned several meters of rubble, and Su Xuan's hand went numb. The sword blade suddenly deflected half an inch under the force of that brute power.

Half an inch.

Enough to change everything.

The sword's edge grazed Lin Wan'er's fair neck, not cutting into her flesh but merely shaving off a section of her long, black hair.

The severed hair curled instantly under the scorching golden-red flames surrounding Su Xuan, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the air.

With hair cut and scattered, all debts of gratitude and obligation are settled.

Su Xuan's arm went numb from the force, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, but he swallowed it back down!

He looked up.

At the edge of the sky, a figure stepped through the air, moving so fast that even the afterimage didn't have time to dissipate.

The newcomer was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, tall and imposing, with a bushy beard and hair, and his crimson eyes were filled with a mad killing intent that wanted to tear Su Xuan to pieces.

Lin family head.

A master of the Golden Core stage.

He was too fast; it took him less than two breaths to get from the horizon to the front, and the second stream of spiritual energy had already condensed in his palm.

Su Xuan did not hesitate for a moment.

It doesn't matter if we can't kill Lin Wan'er!

Keeping a useless person around won't cause any problems, but if they get entangled with a Golden Core stage expert, they're really going to die.

He compressed all the surging fiery spiritual energy within his body after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage into his legs, causing the charred rocks beneath his feet to shatter into powder.

A fiery red streak tore through the night sky and shot towards the dense forest deeper into the mountains.

The speed was so fast that even Lin Wan'er only saw a fleeting point of light.

"You beast! Stop right there!"

The Lin family head landed above the battlefield and looked down.

The ground was littered with charred corpses and twisted, deformed remnants of magical artifacts, while the air still retained the intense heat of the Samadhi True Fire that had scorched everything.

Forty-seven people.

Four elders at the peak of Foundation Establishment, twelve elites in the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment, and thirty-one disciples in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Total annihilation.

None survived.

A metallic taste welled up in the Lin family patriarch's chest, but he had no time to look at his daughter, who was slumped on the ground, looking lost and disoriented, or even give her a glance.

He transformed into a long, dark blue rainbow, tearing through the air as he gave chase in the direction Su Xuan had fled.

Two streaks of light plunged one after the other into the boundless primeval forest of the mountains, disappearing into the night in an instant.

Lin Wan'er was the only survivor on the battlefield.

She opened her eyes, reached out and touched her neck. Her fingertips touched intact skin and the jagged stubble of hair that had been cut off.

She survived.

It wasn't because Su Xuan let her go, but because her father arrived quickly enough.

If it had been even half a breath later, her head would have already fallen to the ground.

Lin Wan'er knelt there amidst the ashes, motionless, as if she were dead.

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room.

The scrolling of comments was so fast that it was almost impossible to read the individual messages, and everyone was holding their breath for Su Xuan.

"Holy crap! A Golden Core stage expert! How the hell are we supposed to fight this?! Su Shen, run!"

"We almost killed Lin Wan'er! That old bastard arrived just in time!"

"It's a shame they cut their hair but not their head. But Su Shen's judgment was right; if you can't win, run! Survival comes first!"

"Lin Wan'er, you ungrateful wretch! Your father saved you and you're not even grateful? That sword strike from Su Shen was exactly what you deserved!"
