Chapter 27

"Very well, it is from our Sunfire Sect. Are you dissatisfied with that?"

Chi Yan Gong said with a fierce look, his aura wild and domineering, lawless and tyrannical.

"Lin Xi, let me tell you. Here today, whatever I say goes. My word is the rule. If I say this berserk man-bear is what it is, then it is. You have no right to question or resist!"

Lin Xi's gaze turned cold. He hated nothing more than such arrogant and conceited people. It was the same six years ago, and it was the same six years later.

Back then, Chi Yan Gong was just as wild and detestable as he is now.

"Chi Yan Gong, I think you're mistaken. I am not a member of your Sunfire Sect. You can order them around, but you can't order me."

Lin Xi pointed at Chi Yan Gong's subordinates and said coldly.

"Hmm, so you're dissatisfied, then?" A cold light flashed in Chi Yan Gong's eyes as he pointed at Lin Xi.

"I've changed my mind. Lin Xi, you make me feel very uncomfortable, and I feel insulted. I'll give you one last chance. Come over here, come on, kneel at my feet, and kowtow three times. Then say, 'I voluntarily submit to you and become your slave.' This way, I'll feel better and let you go."

"The Third Prince is speaking to you! Why don't you kneel down and thank him for his kindness? His Highness isn't always so merciful."

The expert at the Divine Traveler stage beside Chi Yan Gong stepped forward a few steps, glared at Lin Xi, and said sternly.

Lin Xi ignored him, just looking at Chi Yan Gong, his eyes flashing with many thoughts. Suddenly, he sighed and said with a mocking expression:

"Chi Yan Gong, you really haven't changed at all. Six years have passed, but your jealousy is still so strong. You can't stand to see others stronger than you."

Lin Xi's words stunned everyone. No one had ever dared to speak to the Third Prince like that.

"How can this Lin Xi be so bold, daring to speak to the Third Prince like that!"

"Doesn't he know that the Third Prince hates it when people say he's jealous..."

"It's over, this kid is dead. He's offended the Third Prince!"

...

All the Sunfire Sect disciples looked at Lin Xi as if he were already dead.

Sure enough, when Chi Yan Gong heard these words, he stood up abruptly like a venomous snake that had been attacked, his face flushing red:

"You fool, you dare to say I'm jealous? You dare to say I'm jealous of you? You're dead! Lin Xi, you're dead. Do you think you're something? Let me tell you, in my eyes, you're nothing. I can have you expelled from the Five Thunder Sect and prevent you from becoming the Young Sect Leader with just a word."

Chi Yan Gong was furious. He looked at Lin Xi, and a thought crossed his mind. Suddenly, he laughed sinisterly:

"Lin Xi, I might as well tell you a secret. This secret has been weighing on my heart for a long time. Heh heh, do you know why you became a waste after the age of eleven? Let me tell you, it was Meng Jun who poisoned you on my orders. Ha ha, what are you? Your father even dared to praise you as a genius in front of me. Pah! I can turn you from a genius into a waste with just a thought!"

Ah!

Everyone around was stunned.

They knew the Third Prince was reckless, but poisoning the Young Sect Leader of another sect was no small matter. If this news got out, the entire Sunfire Sect would be disgraced.

"What did you say?! The poison in my body, you put it there!"

Lin Xi's heart convulsed, and his eyes shot out a cold light.

He had always been puzzled. Meng Jun, an elder who had lived on Five Thunder Mountain for decades and was not skilled in alchemy, how did he get that poison? Now, the mystery was solved.

He never expected that he had been a waste for so many years because of the intense jealousy of another young man at the age of eleven!

"Ha ha ha, didn't expect that, did you!"

Chi Yan Gong looked incredibly relieved and smug after revealing this secret, as if a child had finally shown off his most prized toy to everyone:

"Ha ha, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time. Unfortunately, my father strictly forbade me from revealing this and even from going to the Five Thunder Sect. Otherwise, I would have run to Five Thunder Mountain long ago to see how you, the former genius, would crawl at my feet and lick my toes. — Since you're about to die, I'll tell you one more secret. You won't be the Young Sect Leader for much longer. Soon, your entire Five Thunder Sect will submit to our Sunfire Sect and become part of our sect. Do you think I asked you to be my dog because you will be a dog anyway! Ha ha ha..."

"Chi Yan Gong, you're really a fool!"

Lin Xi shook his head, his eyes showing a look of disdain:

"Do you really think that just because you're the Young Sect Leader of the Sunfire Sect, you can suppress everything? I had already decided to let you go. But now, you've given me a perfect reason to kill you. I have no reason to spare you now!"

A cold, ruthless killing intent flashed in Lin Xi's eyes.

Knowing that Chi Yan Gong was the one who had poisoned him, he had no reason to spare him. Moreover, Chi Yan Gong's rudeness had already exceeded his tolerance limit.

"What? Kill me?"

Chi Yan Gong laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world:

"Lin Xi, do you believe that if you dare to lay a hand on me, your Five Thunder Sect will be destroyed and annihilated?"

"So what? Who will destroy whom, we'll see."

Chi Yan Gong was stunned. Even with his quick reflexes, he was momentarily speechless. After a while, he came to his senses, his face turning purple with anger. He pointed at Lin Xi and said in a fit of rage:

"Someone, kill him! Kill him now!"

"Lin Young Sect Leader, I'm sorry! If you have any complaints, blame yourself for not knowing your place and angering the Third Prince. Now, die!"

The expert at the Sixth Stage of the Divine Traveler period beside Chi Yan Gong said solemnly. As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked.

Boom!

Within a ten-meter radius, the air exploded, and a fierce wind suddenly arose. A figure, like an enraged elephant, burst through the air and appeared in front of Lin Xi in an instant. His arm raised, like a giant hammer, and struck Lin Xi fiercely.

A Sixth Stage expert was as fast as a galloping horse, with immense strength. Their speed and reaction were far beyond those of ordinary martial artists. As soon as this expert attacked, he almost instantly appeared in front of Lin Xi, leaving no time for him to dodge.

The incredible speed and overwhelming power of a Divine Traveler expert made it almost impossible for a Fifth Stage expert to survive an attack.

"Finally, you've taken the bait!"

A sharp light flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. He had been waiting for this person to make a move. Among all of Chi Yan Gong's subordinates, only this speed demon at the Divine Traveler stage posed a real threat to him.

Boom!

A heavy iron fist, as heavy as a thousand catties, struck Lin Xi's chest in an instant.

The corner of the Sunfire Sect's Divine Traveler expert's mouth curled into a cold smile, as if he could already see Lin Xi being torn apart by his punch, turning into a pile of flesh.

However, the moment his fist made contact, the expert's expression darkened. The expected outcome did not occur. A powerful suction force came from Lin Xi's body. He felt his fist sink into a thick layer of leather, and a suction force held his fist, preventing him from pulling back.

"Do you really think you have me cornered?"

A faint voice sounded in the expert's ear, making him lose his composure. It was Lin Xi's voice.

As the voice echoed, Lin Xi made his move. His attack was like a thunderbolt, leaving nothing to chance.

Crack!

A heavy fist struck the expert's thigh. Lin Xi had been preparing for this strike for a long time, and it was effective. A crack echoed, and a terrible sound followed as the expert's entire thigh bone was shattered by Lin Xi's punch.

"Ah! —"

In agony, the Divine Traveler expert suddenly burst with strength, pushing Lin Xi away and retreating in a panic.

"Ah! My leg, my thigh, this guy broke my thigh bone! Everyone, attack him! Kill him!..."

Scary!

Hearing the Divine Traveler expert's call, all the Sunfire Sect disciples were shocked. The situation had changed too quickly, even Chi Yan Gong, standing on the golden recliner, was taken aback.

A Sixth Stage Divine Traveler expert, dealing with someone who was either at the Iron Bone stage or the Tough Skin stage... regardless, someone of low cultivation, shouldn't it be as easy as breathing to kill them in one strike?

How could he be struck and have his thigh bone broken in just one exchange? And he was screaming in pain.

Everyone was stunned. This was too sudden!

"Chi Yan Gong, now you're all dead. All that talk was just to break his leg. With this Divine Traveler expert disabled, none of you can escape. You will all die!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Xi, distorting the air within a three-meter radius.

Either don't make a move, or when you do, don't hold back. Otherwise, if anyone is left to spread the news, the Sunfire Sect's Sect Leader would come for revenge, and it would be a dead end.

Feeling the chilling killing intent from Lin Xi, Chi Yan Gong finally felt fear. He never expected Lin Xi to be so powerful that even a Divine Traveler expert couldn't withstand his punch.

This was simply too outrageous!

"Kill him! Attack together, kill him!"

Chi Yan Gong screamed, feeling a deep sense of threat. The Lin Xi in front of him was more terrifying than the most ferocious beast.

"Kill!"

The Sunfire Sect disciples, regaining their senses, immediately rushed out, attacking Lin Xi together.

The air was filled with the sound of fierce winds, and a faint flame aura permeated the space.

"Die!"

Lin Xi leaped forward, his feet moving in a rapid sequence. In an instant, he appeared in front of a Sunfire Sect disciple at the Iron Bone stage, his hand opening wide and slapping down like a fan. With a slap, he shattered the disciple's skull. Then, with a "swallow skimming the water" move, he appeared beside another Sunfire Sect disciple, delivering a punch that immediately knocked another disciple down.

"Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Wang!"

The Sunfire Sect disciples cried out in shock, their eyes turning red, and their attacks becoming even more frenzied.

These two were the lowest in cultivation among all the Sunfire Sect disciples. With Lin Xi's current cultivation, killing them was as easy as slaughtering chickens.

"Damn it, if you have the guts, face me in a fair fight!"

The Sunfire Sect's Divine Traveler expert roared in anger. His injured thigh had slowed him down to the speed of an ordinary disciple.

Lin Xi's strategy was starting to show results. A Divine Traveler expert's speed was too fast, making it easy to attack and retreat. If he tried to escape with Chi Yan Gong, Lin Xi wouldn't be able to catch up.

Lin Xi decided to take a punch to break the expert's thigh bone, eliminating his speed advantage and cutting off their escape route.

Clearly, the Divine Traveler expert had realized this. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Lin Xi at the beginning, thinking he could easily deal with him. Now, it was too late to regret.
