On Mount Longhu, many disciples who were in formation felt the shaking and almost lost their footing. The Celestial Master Hall even cracked open and collapsed to one side.

The earth-shaking scene made everyone think it was caused by Zhang Lingxiu and Lin Yi fighting inside, but no one thought that their own foundation had been dug up.

At the moment of the earth-shaking tremor, Lin Yi, wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword, cleaved the combined dragon and tiger formation of Purple Lightning and Azure Wind with a single sword strike. The ferocious tiger formed from sand and dust shattered, turning into a raging storm that scattered and blew away the nearby Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples. Sand and dust filled the sky, and the disciples let out shrill screams.

The disciples who were first hit by the gale had their eyes, ears, mouth and nose torn by the sand and looked quite miserable.

Despite the elders' best efforts to protect them, they could not withstand the aftershocks of the first-rank battle.

That wasn't the end of it. After Lin Yi slid in and killed Feng Hu, he then chopped off the head of Dian Long with another sword strike.

The electric dragon was formed from the copper coin sword, and Lin Yi struck the copper coin sword.

Even surrounded by thunder, Lin Yi remained completely unafraid.

Because his defense was so strong, Zhang Lingxiu could only scratch him like a scraping motion.

The copper coin sword shattered instantly, scattering everywhere. Lin Yi's sword, however, was on fire. Heavenly lightning ignited earthly fire, and along with the scattering of forty-nine copper coins, it fell into the crowd.

This is like throwing forty-nine high-explosive grenades into a crowd, along with conductive lightning; the destructive power is unimaginable.

Many disciples who had set up the formation were instantly reduced to charred remains. Even those who were merely spared from the aftershocks were severely injured by the lightning and fire.

In that one blow, countless people died or were injured, and cries of agony filled the air.

This is probably the largest and most destructive blow Lin Yi has ever delivered.

Of course, this was not something he did alone; Zhang Lingxiu played a major role.

Although the jade ruyi is a celestial artifact, Zhang Lingxiu used it to trap Lin Yi. It will only protect Zhang Lingxiu and will not care about the other disciples on Longhu Mountain.

In an instant, all the dragon and tiger phantoms collapsed, and Lin Yi single-handedly overthrew the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Lin Yi never expected things to turn out this way.

Sometimes, unless he's pushed to the limit, he doesn't know how powerful he is. Even with four thousand years of cultivation, he only thinks he has two thousand years of experience.

But this time Zhang Lingxiu really pushed him to the limit, subjecting him to electric shocks and sandstorms, forcing him to use all his strength.

At this point, it can be said that he has won a great victory.

However, Lin Yi felt no joy or happiness. His ears were very sensitive, and the first thing he heard was the painful wails of his many disciples.

The elders of Longhu Mountain may not be entirely innocent, but the disciples are not necessarily guilty.

Lin Yi had no choice. If he didn't fight back, he would be worn down to death. This was enemy territory. How could he guarantee his safety if he didn't go all out?

It's just a pity that these people died in vain.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lingxiu was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, the Celestial Master's Hall had been reduced to ruins by the massive fluctuations in combat power, and its disciples had suffered heavy casualties. Zhang Lingxiu couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"No!"

He couldn't accept the fact that he had been defeated. He also didn't understand why Lin Yi, who couldn't mobilize the overall situation, was still able to turn the tide and kill his Dragon Tiger.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"

Lin Yi glanced coldly at Zhang Lingxiu. If Zhang Lingxiu hadn't insisted on fighting him to the death, these people wouldn't have died.

I'm going to kill you!

Zhang Lingxiu charged towards Lin Yi as if she were possessed.

Lin Yi sneered. Where did he get the courage to fight him hand-to-hand?

At this point, mercy is meaningless, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with Longhu Mountain. Today, he must either die here or kill Zhang Lingxiu and then leave.

Lin Yi was left with only one choice.

Knowing that Zhang Lingxiu was protected by a jade ruyi, Lin Yi also became ruthless.

Even if Zhang Lingxiu is a turtle shell, we'll chop him to pieces today!

Sensing Lin Yi's sword intent, the Demon-Slaying Sword became even more alluringly red, its crimson color resembling flowing blood.

"die!"

Lin Yi mustered all his strength and thrust forward, while Zhang Lingxiu concealed a palm lightning bolt in her hand, ready to deliver a fierce blow to Lin Yi. Relying on the protection of the jade ruyi, he could easily engage in close combat.

However, the expected protection did not materialize, and Lin Yi's sword easily pierced his chest, going right through him.

The sword energy erupted rapidly within his body, shattering his internal organs.

Even a first-rank expert's body is still just a mortal body. With just this one move, Lin Yi completely severed his life force.

The difference is that a first-grade expert can still twitch around a bit. Knowing that he has no chance of survival, Zhang Lingxiu struck Lin Yi in the chest with a palm. Thunderous power erupted from his hand, electrifying Lin Yi until he felt weak all over.

"Die with me! Hahaha!"

Zhang Lingxiu let out a venomous laugh as she took his desperate palm strike at close range. No one could survive that!

Even in death, he wanted to take Lin Yi with him.

Lin Yi fell silent for a moment. If Zhang Lingxiu knew that he had only been electrocuted, she wondered if she would turn into a vengeful ghost.

It's terrifying that a cultivator could transform into a vengeful ghost.

I don't know what happened to Yu Ruyi, how could it fail me at such a crucial moment?

It was thanks to it that Lin Yi was able to kill Zhang Lingxiu more easily.

This matter should be considered settled now!

Lin Yi looked up at the sky, wondering what kind of mess he had just made. Could this be what they call the inevitability of fate?

There is bound to be conflict in the world. If he tries to resolve the conflict, he will only bring about greater conflict and more death.

Just like when he used the Faraday cage and lightning rod to help He Dong overcome his tribulation, the lightning was indeed guided away in accordance with the laws of physics, but He Dong's third tribulation was also exceptionally terrifying.

Perhaps it was because of something that shouldn't have been there that He Dong's tribulation was even more severe.

Fate is unpredictable, and Lin Yi didn't know if he had guessed correctly.

But if there truly is a divine will in this world, why not let the common people suffer less?

This time, Lin Yi really didn't know whether he was right or wrong. The many disciples of Longhu Mountain, seeing their sect leader killed by Lin Yi and Lin Yi unable to move after being struck by the palm lightning, all showed expressions of grief.

They need time to process today's changes.

At this moment, the ground began to tremble again, and this time the tremors were even stronger than before...

Chapter 327 A Little Bit of Foundation Was Touched

A deafening roar echoed in the sky; the dark clouds summoned by Zhang Lingxiu had not yet dissipated when thunder roared once more.

The ground where the Celestial Master's Hall was located quickly cracked open on both sides. With this place as the center, the visible shock wave quickly spread outwards. In an instant, pavilions collapsed and buildings crumbled. The once glorious and domineering Longhu Mountain was now a scene of disaster.

Amidst this turmoil, a golden light burst forth from the ground, followed by a golden phantom dragon flying out from underground, and in the center of the phantom dragon was a large tiger.

"Is this... the manifestation of the Patriarch?"

The surviving disciples of Longhu Mountain saw this phantom, and their spirits, which had been extremely low due to the severe injuries they had suffered, were lifted up a bit.

The Celestial Master who founded the Longhu Mountain sect did so because he refined elixirs here, and the elixirs formed into dragons and tigers, hence the name Longhu Mountain. These disciples had all heard of the glorious deeds of their ancestor, and seeing this scene of dragons and tigers united, they naturally thought of the ancestor manifesting his power.

Since its founding, Longhu Mountain has never suffered such a great upheaval, so it seems quite reasonable for the patriarch to manifest his power.

Only Lin Yi felt that the tiger in the phantom of the dragon had a cat-like quality and looked very much like Xiao Se's little white cat, only much larger.

Sure enough, the tiger, which was wrapped in a dragon, surveyed the field for a few seconds before spotting Lin Yi, who was slowly sheathing his sword in the smoke, and quickly pounced on him.

Lin Yi did not perceive her malice and therefore did not resist.

With the added effect of the palm thunder, he was still a little numb and his movements were slightly stiff. He was then pushed onto the white tiger's back by the divine dragon phantom. Then, the divine dragon flew into the azure sky and fled towards the outside of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Lin Yi was still a little confused, but he was going to leave Longhu Mountain anyway, so he didn't ask any more questions and just followed along.

It was at this moment that a thunderous roar echoed from Longhu Mountain: "Who dares to disturb the foundation of my Longhu Mountain!"

Every word of that voice caused the air to tremble. Even though Lin Yi was already high in the clouds, he still felt the immense terror hidden within it.

He was certain that he was no match for this person!

Fortunately, the dragon flew very fast, and in just a few breaths, Longhu Mountain was nowhere to be seen. Lin Yi's tense mood was relieved.

Everything that happened today felt somewhat dreamlike and unreal to him.

Longhu Mountain should be a righteous sect, and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is the leader of the righteous path. Lin Yi has had more contact with non-human first-rank cultivators, and they are all very powerful. So, the fact that the human race can suppress the demon race means that human cultivators are also more powerful than demon kings.

The True Man Guishan, whom we met before, was extremely powerful, and he was just a rogue cultivator. So how could Zhang Lingxiu, the leader of the righteous path, die so easily?

Moreover, he killed him while the Dragon Tiger Mountain formation was in place and the immortal artifact was protecting him, which made Lin Yi feel puzzled.

Either I'm too strong, or Longhu Mountain is too wet.

But the person who shouted angrily afterward made Lin Yi realize that no matter how cunning Zhang Ling was or how fierce he was, Longhu Mountain was a place where hidden talents lurked. He had gotten himself into big trouble by causing such a ruckus at Longhu Mountain today.

The hidden bigwigs of Longhu Mountain might come out of the mountains to cause him trouble in a fit of anger, so he can no longer use the identity of Yi Lin.

The demon-slaying sword that was taken out of the Celestial Master's Hall should be put away for the time being and should not be seen by others casually.

Of course, he could also consider escaping back to Xingsha City. Under Jiang Linglong's protection, Longhu Mountain would definitely be unable to do anything to him.

If Jiang Linglong only had five thousand years of cultivation, Lin Yi wouldn't be so confident that Longhu Mountain would definitely fail. However, Jiang Linglong's unique skills allowed her to have a maximum of fifty thousand years of cultivation.

Judging from my intuition, if things really come to this point, Jiang Linglong would be invincible.

Lin Yi also had his own considerations. Firstly, he couldn't rely entirely on Jiang Linglong's protection. His goal of reaching a million cultivation points was urgent, and there were no demons or monsters near Xingsha County.

Secondly, it's not a good thing for Jiang Linglong to use her special skills. Once she loses control, it will be very difficult for her to regain her rationality.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yi would not consider letting Jiang Linglong become so enraged that she lost control in order to protect him.

Therefore, he only has one path left to take.

He wrote a letter to Jiang Linglong to let her know he was safe, only reporting good news and not bad, while he changed his appearance and went to another place to hunt monsters.

At his rate of growth, it might not be long before he can turn the tables and suppress the one from Longhu Mountain.

Lin Yi was unaware that his sabotage hadn't actually caused much of a stir.

In any case, it only resulted in the killing of some disciples and the death of a sect leader. Although the enmity was deep, it was not enough to shake the foundation of Longhu Mountain.

What Xiao Se did was truly frightening.
