Chapter 16

Is this the realm of the Third Heaven of Martial Arts cultivation?

Lin Qi and the others were all stunned, staring at Jing Yan, even stopping their attacks on the king of the stone-spotted tigers.

Of course, the king of the stone-spotted tigers, after being hit by Jing Yan's critical strike, although its vitality was strong, it had basically lost the ability to counterattack.

A sword pierced through the king of the stone-spotted tigers' throat, and Jing Yan only took a slight step back, dodging the already dull counterattack of the king of the stone-spotted tigers. Then, the Sword of Flowing Light swiftly thrust forward again, accurately piercing the king of the stone-spotted tigers' neck.

"Roar!"

The king of the stone-spotted tigers roared wildly, but its pair of red eyes could not help but dim.

"Done!"

Only then did Jing Yan turn to look at Lin Qi and the others, smiling and saying.

"Finishing the job is much easier." Jing Yan felt a bit sentimental in his heart.

It was also a fact!

If it weren't for the five Lin family martial artists, Lin Qi and the others, who had worn down the king of the stone-spotted tigers' vitality, Jing Yan would have found it very difficult to kill the king of the stone-spotted tigers, which was comparable to a fourth-level spirit beast. In fact, even before Jing Yan made his move, if it weren't for Lin Qi and the others restraining the already injured king of the stone-spotted tigers, Jing Yan would have found it very difficult to hit the king of the stone-spotted tigers' vital points with two consecutive strikes.

The king of the stone-spotted tigers, which was comparable to a fourth-level spirit beast, was clearly extremely powerful.

"Now, I'm going to take what belongs to me." Jing Yan prepared to take the semi-transparent fleshy horn on the king of the stone-spotted tigers' forehead.

"No way!"

Lin Hu glared at Jing Yan and shouted.

Jing Yan suddenly appeared and casually struck the king of the stone-spotted tigers with two swords, and now wanted to take away half of the king of the stone-spotted tigers' value. They were naturally unwilling.

"What, do you want to go back on your word?" Jing Yan paused, his gaze shifting slightly to Lin Qi, and he said.

"Jing Yan, you're being a bit greedy if you want to take the king of the stone-spotted tigers' fleshy horn." Lin Qi was gauging Jing Yan's strength and said.

"Exactly, we five fought for a long time, and you are just one person. According to your distribution method, you take half, and we five share the other half. That's not fair!" Lin Yuruo also spoke up.

Lin Yuruo was the only female among the five Lin family members.

"Unfair?" Jing Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly smiled. "Before I killed the king of the stone-spotted tigers, why didn't you say it was unfair? Now that the king of the stone-spotted tigers is dead, you say it's unfair. Haha, you know very well that if I hadn't acted, the four of you would have found it very difficult to kill this king of the stone-spotted tigers, and you might even have died."

"Lin Qi, are you going back on your word?" Jing Yan stared at Lin Qi.

Among the five, Lin Qi was the leader.

"Jing Yan, if it weren't for your sudden appearance affecting us, Dongyang wouldn't have been injured. If Dongyang wasn't injured, killing this king of the stone-spotted tigers would have just been a matter of time. Now, I won't hold you responsible. Here are ten spirit stones, take them and go." Lin Qi took out ten spirit stones.

Lin Qi was almost tempted to kill Jing Yan outright. He had agreed to Jing Yan's conditions to use the king of the stone-spotted tigers to kill Jing Yan, but he never expected that Jing Yan would cleanly and swiftly kill the king of the stone-spotted tigers. Now, Jing Yan wanted him to fulfill his promise, which was equivalent to taking away the fat meat that was already in his mouth.

The value of the king of the stone-spotted tigers was too tempting.

"Ten spirit stones, what a generous offer!" Jing Yan sneered, his gaze fixed on Lin Qi. "I'm determined to take the king of the stone-spotted tigers' fleshy horn today!"

"Want the king of the stone-spotted tigers' fleshy horn? First, ask if the knife in your hand agrees!" Lin Hu suddenly shouted, his body surging with yuan qi, and he raised his long knife to attack Jing Yan.

"Overestimating yourself!" Jing Yan's lips curled, and his figure moved.

Although Lin Hu was at the Fifth Heaven of Martial Arts cultivation, the same realm as Jing Yan, in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Jing Yan. Jing Yan had cultivated the first divine skill of the vast sky, with an unparalleled ability to predict, and had refined the Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Sword technique. Even if it were Lin Qi fighting Jing Yan, Jing Yan wouldn't necessarily be afraid.

If he didn't have such confidence, Jing Yan wouldn't have rashly appeared.

Since the other party wanted to fight, let's fight.

"Get out of the way!" Jing Yan's Sword of Flowing Light lightly swept, and a terrifying sword beam pierced through Lin Hu's wall of knives.

The martial technique Lin Hu cultivated was a low-grade knife technique, which had too many flaws in Jing Yan's eyes. He could easily exploit the flaws in the other party's martial technique with a casual strike.

"Ah!" The sword beam flashed, and Lin Hu's body was swept away like a leaf by a strong wind. Accompanied by his scream, his fleshy body rolled to a place over ten meters away.

"Not... impossible!" Although Lin Hu was thrown away, he was not in danger of death. Jing Yan held back, because if he really killed Lin Hu, both sides would inevitably engage in a major battle. The other few were no threat to Jing Yan, but Lin Qi, at the Sixth Heaven of Martial Arts cultivation, was a bit tricky for Jing Yan.

Therefore, he didn't use his full strength with this strike.

Seeing Lin Hu being thrown away by Jing Yan's sword, the faces of the Lin family members changed, and they looked at Jing Yan with shock.

"This is definitely not the Third Heaven of Martial Arts!"

"Damn, rumors can't be fully trusted. Who the hell said Jing Yan's realm fell to the Third Heaven of Martial Arts?"

"Damn it!" Lin Qi and the others cursed the unreliability of rumors in their hearts.

It seemed that Jing Yan's realm had indeed fallen, but it definitely hadn't fallen to the Third Heaven of Martial Arts. A single sword strike to throw Lin Hu, who was at the Fifth Heaven of Martial Arts, even a Sixth Heaven of Martial Arts might not be able to do it.

Lin Qi thought about it, and even he couldn't do it with a single sword strike.

"This sword is just a lesson for you. If you don't learn, it won't be so easy next time." Jing Yan coldly smiled, glanced at Lin Hu who had just got up, and then bent down slightly to dig out the king of the stone-spotted tigers' fleshy horn.

"Farewell!" Jing Yan put away the fleshy horn, slightly bowed, and then turned to leave.

"Brother Qi!"

"Let him go just like that?" Lin Hu and the others watched Jing Yan leave, all looking at Lin Qi.

How frustrating!

A king of the stone-spotted tigers, now its value was directly halved.

"This Jing Yan is very strong, at least at the Sixth Heaven of Martial Arts. If we fight, we might not be able to do anything to him." Lin Qi slightly shook his head and said. He was also frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. Lin Dongyang was injured and needed to return to the clan as soon as possible to recover. Although they had already used healing potions, if they delayed too long, it could affect his future martial arts cultivation.
