Chapter 178 - Lin Hong Self-destructs

Lin Hong was appalled and roared out loud, but what came as a response was an even more terrifying blade light.

Bang!

Lin Hong felt as if his arms were about to be broken from the slash. He was sent flying back uncontrollably and smashed heavily into the city wall.

Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing were trouncing them.

The eyes of the nearby Yuanfu realm experts flickered with shock.

That was especially true for Wang Daoyuan and Sun Tianqi, whom Lin Hong had asked for help. They were the patriarchs of the Wang Clan and the Sun Clan, and their cultivation levels were the same as Lin Hong—the early stage of the fourth level. The three clans interacted very frequently.

“Brother Tianqi, are we helping them?”

Wang Daoyuan, wearing a blue shirt, had his eyes slightly narrowed. After hearing Lin Hong’s call for help, he immediately transmitted his voice to Sun Tianqi with his primeval force standing next to him.

Sun Tianqi was a middle-aged, overweight man with a round face; he always smiled like Maitreya. However, if one observed him, they would discover a bright light shining in his eyes from time to time through the slits. [1]

Sun Tianqi replied, “Brother Daoyuan, can you deal with him?”

“It’s difficult!”

Wang Daoyuan replied, “He is at the early stage of the fourth level, but his combat strength is ridiculous. Even when Lin Hong and Lin Ying joined forces, they were utterly powerless and had to endure a relentless beating. I think his combat strength is comparable to someone at the peak stage of the fourth level.”

“You’re right! Our cultivations are the same. Even if we made a move, we couldn’t be sure we could take him down. If we fail, we’ll bring trouble onto ourselves,” Sun Tianqi said, transmitting his voice.

“Hoho, looks like Brother Tianqi and I have the same idea.” Wang Daoyuan laughed.

Neither of them took any action, intimidated by Chen Zhengqing\'s formidable strength.

If they made a move and failed to take down Chen Zhengqing, they would have brought a disaster to their clans—a risk they were unwilling to take.

Given their hesitation, the others also refrained from making any moves. These individuals hailed from various esteemed clans in Watermoon City, each almost as shrewd as the next guy. They could all read the situation well.

Chen Zhengqing\'s strength could rank him among the top five experts in Watermoon City. It was in their best interest to avoid entangling with such a formidable character.

As for the Lin Clan...

In any case, they were rivals. If the Chen Clan exterminated them, they would stand to benefit in some ways, too, and were happy to watch the situation develop.

......

“Die!”

Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing pressed on to their advantage and continued beating up their opponents. Their cultivation erupted violently, and their fierce attacks enveloped heaven and earth.

“Ah!” A punch from Chen Fan ruptured Lin Tianzhen’s heart.

“Ah!”

Another miserable cry soon rang out as Lin Yongchun followed Lin Tianzhen’s footsteps into the grave.

“No, don’t kill me!” Lin Yao was terrified.

Overwhelmed by Chen Fan, a mere teenager, Lin Zhentian and Lin Yongchun met their demise consecutively. Lin Yao, too, suffered severe injuries. As Chen Fan walked toward him, Lin Yao, driven by survival instincts, raised his hands in surrender.

“Lin Yao, how could you!”

Seeing Lin Yao kneeling and begging for mercy, Lin Hong spewed blood from anger. Another one of Chen Zhengqing’s blade attacks struck him, and his arm flew into the air.

“Ah...”

The pain from losing his arm left Lin Hong screaming miserably. His face was twisted as he roared, “Damn it, all of you should die! I’ll fight you to the death!”

Immediately, the primeval vessel above Lin Hong erupted with a devastating aura. He was about to detonate his primeval vessel.

“Xiaofan, watch out!”

Sensing the devastating aura coming from Lin Hong’s primeval vessel, Chen Zhengqing’s expression immediately sank, and he retreated frantically. He simultaneously grabbed with his arm, sweeping up Chen Yunchong’s group, and flew away.

Chen Fan’s expression also changed drastically. He abandoned the notion of killing Lin Yao and quickly retreated with the remaining Chen Clan members.

“Thinking of running away? No way that’s happening! Let’s die together!”

Cracks appeared on Lin Hong’s face. The destructive aura spread out from within as he flew toward Chen Zhengqing.

“Get lost!”

Chen Zhengqing roared furiously, instantly slashing out thirty times with his flaming blade. The attacks came together and whistled toward Lin Hong, stopping him from approaching.

A fourth-level Yuanfu realm expert detonating their primeval vessel would seriously injure even a fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouse.

“Undefeated King’s Fist, die!”

Chen Fan also drove his cultivation to the limits. Six arms struck out wildly, shaking heaven and earth and raising a huge wave of qi, sweeping over to block Lin Hong’s footsteps.

The explosion would have a vast impact, and if Chen Yunchong, Chen Hualong, and others were caught in it, they would undoubtedly suffer significant injuries.

Rumble!

With an earth-shaking explosion, Lin Hong transformed into a blinding “sun,” emitting an incomparable radiance that forced people to shut their eyes. A destructive qi wave violently swept out, causing widespread devastation.

The Lin Clan mansion crumbled instantly, and countless individuals, including Lin Yao, were obliterated in the aftermath. The rolling qi waves resembled a steel wall, producing ear-piercing booms.

The noises were unceasing. Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing swept up the Chen Clan members and fell back in haste. Their primeval force surged, forming a wall in front of them to stop that terrifying shockwave.

Still, the wall of primeval force formed by the two was like paper, shattering with a few cracking sounds. They were struck and flew a thousand meters away, vomiting blood.

“Are you alright, Xiaofan?”

Above Chen Zhengqing’s head, the glow of his primeval vessel became dimmer. He had to ignite his primeval force to resist the explosion’s shockwaves. He had suffered considerable injuries.

Chen Fan shook his head, his gaze dark as he wiped off the fresh blood at the corners of his lips and said, “I’m fine, Father!”

His flesh was incomparably tough. Although this shockwave was incredibly fierce, it only caused his qi and blood to churn; his foundation wasn’t damaged.

They were relatively fine, but the Chen Clan members with fifth- and sixth-level Qigong cultivation were annihilated, leaving no corpses behind.

Even with him and Chen Zhengqing protecting them at full strength, they couldn’t block off all the ripples, giving rise to casualties on their side.

Although Chen Yunchong, Chen Hualong, and some others with higher cultivation levels were alive, they also had received significant injuries. Every one of them spewed out blood, and their complexions were ghastly white, looking at Lin Clan\'s mansion with lingering fear in their hearts.

The storm from Lin Hong’s self-destruction slowly calmed down.

The ripples from the detonation of a fourth-level Yuanfu realm expert had an extensive reach. Half of the Lin Clan mansion lay in ruins, with numerous casualties and injuries. Some individuals, affected by the powerful shockwaves, lay on the ground, moaning in pain.
