Just as he was about to make a move, a strange noise came from not far away.

Looking to the side, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.

The person in charge of the ceremony had not yet left the scene.

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding noise and the falling of ginkgo leaves, the demonic body gradually recovered.

"This is really troublesome."

Lin Yuan pursed his lips.

Shi Zhe seemed to hear Lin Yuan's self-talk and let out a hoarse voice.

"Have you witnessed it? This is the power of [Abundance]... uh."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Zhe suddenly felt a shadow appear behind him.

"The trouble I'm referring to is how to control my strength so that you can have some peace and quiet without completely destroying this place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan gently struck out with his palm.

The body that had just recovered was instantly covered by the boiling purple-gold palm wind, and was completely consumed as if it were approaching the sun.

The immense force spread forward, creating a massive shockwave on the ground.

The two surrounding buildings vanished instantly into the dust. The remaining upper body of the creature was thrown high into the air before finally crashing to the ground some distance away.

"brush--"

Yanqing's figure fell from the sky, blocking the mangled body.

"He can't die yet; the Shence Army still needs the information he possesses."

"Oh, well, that depends on your performance."

By this point, Lin Yuan was already finding it somewhat boring.

There are five people, but Yanqing only plays the peak competition.

This future swordsman may have immense potential, but right now he's simply not good enough for him.

The initial enthusiasm quickly faded away during this tedious battle.

In the pouring wind and rain, he walked slowly forward, a light shining from his right hand.

"In that case, let's settle this once and for all!"

Yanqing's expression was solemn.

Water droplets were dripping from his face; it was hard to tell if they were rain or sweat.

The sky, the ground, and even the flying swords that Lin Yuan had just seized were all converging on him.

In the blink of an eye, the streaks of light connected, and the "Cloud Rider Sword Scripture" he had learned in the past was continuously integrated and mastered under the immense pressure from the opponent.

The continuous sword light emitted a melodious whistling sound, like swallows chasing each other.

"Be careful!"

A dazzling array of sword light swept across the area, unleashing unprecedented power.

Bricks, stones, tiles, houses, and high platforms were all shattered like weeds before such sharpness.

After a series of irritating scraping sounds, a figure darted through the blinding sword light.

Lin Yuan stepped forward, facing the terrifying sword light, his body completely untouched by dust.

He raised his hand and pointed at Yanqing.

"Then I'll show you the difference between us."

That finger grew larger and larger in Yan Qing's gaze. Lin Yuan's calm expression and unassuming movements came into view.

Gazing at the purple-gold light emanating from the fingertips, Yan Qing felt a fleeting illusion.

In that short distance, he felt as if a great purple-gold sun was shining brightly in the sky.

Before that great sun, a figure stood in the air.

Golden pupils survey the world, and with a single finger, they arrive.

Under the light, everything around him, including his own consciousness, seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

Yanqing suddenly woke up with a start.

The finger stopped right in front of his brow.

At this moment, he was drenched in cold sweat, and a deep sense of powerlessness enveloped him.

Lin Yuan looked at him calmly and pointed to the sky.

In an instant, a purple-gold light illuminated the sky, dispelling the surrounding wind, snow, and frost. Its brilliance, resembling the aurora borealis, attracted countless gazes from Chang Letian.

The light also illuminated the figures of the Cloud Riders standing on the nearby rooftops.

Numerous cloud riders had already surrounded the area, their weapons pointing downwards.

That's enough for now.

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand and smiled.

"Yanqing, is that right? Not bad."

Chapter 184 Account

"Look, what's that?"

In the square of Changletian, many Luofu residents who were strolling around looked up at the magnificent and colorful spectacle in the distance.

Even many people engrossed in playing cards at the table were drawn to the attention.

"It should be a fireworks display, right? Why didn't the Earth Balance Division notify us in advance?"

"Hehe, I suppose you think I, Chang Letian, have been a bit boring lately and want to give me a surprise."

"A surprise? Instead of wasting time on that, you should bring in more entertainment options. This year's 'Fairy Boat Fantasy Show' has been absolutely terrible..."

There was much discussion about it in the streets and alleys.

The Earth Balance Division mentioned in the comments was also completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

They quickly sent people to investigate, only to be told that the matter was not under their jurisdiction and had been taken over by the Shence Prefecture and the Yunqi Army.

At this moment, the officials dispatched by the Earth Balance Bureau and the people who wanted to go and see the excitement were stopped by the fully armed Cloud Cavalry near Ruomu Pavilion.

"Sir Yunqi, I am from the Earth Balance Division. May I ask what has happened ahead?"

"Oh, the Cloud Cavalry is conducting routine military training and deployment. You should do a good job of publicizing this information and not let the people worry."

The tall, silver-armored Cloud Rider said politely.

"It's just routine training again? I just can't believe it."

"Yeah, they were setting off fireworks every day a few days ago. I heard..."

Hearing the whispers of the people below, the Cloud Riders remained unmoved.

Among the crowd, some people quietly lowered their heads.

"Bai Yueji took on the job of that big fish, but it seems that it might just be bait. He is probably in grave danger."

I must immediately inform Lord Ziyueji and report to the Chieftain that Changletian's hunting dogs are likely about to make a move.

With his ordinary appearance, he slowly backed away and disappeared into the crowd.

.............

Inside the cordon, the area around the alley has been reduced to ruins.

Amidst the broken bricks and tiles, two figures stood in the middle.

The tall young man stood ramrod straight, while the boy in front of him stood leaning on his sword, looking rather disheveled.

"brush--"

Footsteps landed.

Numerous cloud riders descended from the sky, slowly surrounding the two figures.

The gleaming polymer array blades and the meteorite-forged armor reflected each other's luster, and the metal made a metallic scraping sound as they moved.

The encirclement suddenly broke apart, and the leader appeared; it turned out to be a woman.

The visitor got straight to the point:

"Representative Lin of Interstellar Peace Company, I am Qingzu, strategist of the Divine Strategy Bureau. I have been dispatched by the General to investigate the recent sabotage."

She looked around.

"What explanation does Representative Lin have for what happened at the scene?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Cloud Riders fell silent. A chilling atmosphere suddenly rose.

"Heh, it was just self-defense."

Lin Yuan smiled and shrugged.

"I was just traveling around Luofu when I unexpectedly encountered someone who was extolling the mysteries of [Abundance] to me. Look, it was that person..."

Following his gaze, the group indeed found the remains among the ruins.

"Demon Body!"

The Yunqi riders present were all shocked, while Qingzu understood the situation even better.

"The secret teachings of the Medicine King... have they dared to appear openly in Changletian?"

Her heart sank slightly, and she sent men forward to subdue and restrain him.

"I thought to myself, isn't this the enemy that Luofu has been clearly targeting? So I decided to capture this scoundrel and hand him over to you."

But unexpectedly, this valiant guard blocked my way out of nowhere. So I had a brief sparring session with him. Am I right, young man?

"A simple exchange..."
