NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Instant Kill Su Wushi!
Su Wushi's sword was fast,
But Lin Yi's sword was faster!
Ding!
The sound of sword light clashes rang out!
Su Wushi's body suddenly flew backward, his arm tingling with numbness!
He retreated a full ten meters before coming to a stop!
Su Wushi's expression was one of utter horror.
But he had just steadied himself when within his line of sight, a faint strand of Sword Qi filled his vision!
"No!!!"
Su Wushi's eyes widened.
He watched helplessly as the Sword Qi shot into his brow.
Leaving a bloody hole.
In the next moment, Su Wushi's body fell to the ground with a "thud."
"Is that... Sword Qi?!"
Seeing Su Wushi being instantly killed by Lin Yi, Lei Bu from not far away, also had a look of dread on his face!
Generally speaking, only a Sword Master could emit Sword Qi to kill the enemy!
Unless, some extremely rare genius Sword Cultivators, relying on their terrifying talent, could break this rule!
However, this sort of scenario only existed in rumors.
Lei Bu had never believed that there were so many rule-breaking geniuses in this world.
But today, he had seen one!
"What, the City Lord is dead?"
All of the Su Family were stunned.
All of the disciples from the Blood Saber Sect were stunned.
All of the Lin Family members were stunned too.
City Lord Su Wushi, to think that he died at the hands of this junior Lin Yi!
And it was a one-sword instant kill by Lin Yi.
"Is there anyone else who wishes to fight?"
Lin Yi stepped on Su Wushi's body, his fierce gaze sweeping around, but no one dared to meet his eyes!
Subsequently, Lin Yi's gaze fell upon Sect Leader Lei Bu of the Blood Saber Sect.
Sending a shiver of coldness through Lei Bu's heart.
"We will not fight!"
"My Blood Saber Sect withdraws!"
"All Blood Saber Sect disciples, retreat immediately!"
Fearing Lin Yi would take action, Lei Bu quickly declared his position, ordering all of the Blood Saber Sect disciples to retreat.
"You say you won't fight just like that?"
However, Lin Yi obviously didn't plan on letting Lei Bu go so easily, "My Lin Family lost so many clan members because of your Blood Saber Sect, do you think it can just end at that?"
Hearing this, Lei Bu couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Compared to the Lin Family, it seemed like their Blood Saber Sect had suffered greater losses, right?
But at this moment, how could Lei Bu dare to defy Lin Yi, with Su Wushi having been slain by Lin Yi, if he dared not satisfy Lin Yi's demands.
He would likely not escape the same fate!
However, his Blood Saber Sect had only come for profits, there was no blood feud with the Lin Family, so there was still a chance to cease fighting!
"My Blood Saber Sect is willing to compensate for the Lin Family's loss!"
Lei Bu said gravely.
"Then compensate with one hundred thousand gold coins!"
Lin Yi said without hesitation.
"One hundred thousand gold coins?"
Lin Zhe and the others all had a slight change of expression, clearly not expecting Lin Yi to ask for such a large amount, opening with one hundred thousand gold coins right away!
Such an immense compensation was equivalent to the entire wealth of a major family.
Originally, Su Wushi had demanded their Lin Family compensate with one hundred thousand gold coins, if they really paid that, their Lin Family would probably go bankrupt!
Now, this huge sum of one hundred thousand gold coins demanded from the Blood Saber Sect, even with their extensive resources, was definitely not a small amount.
Would Lei Bu be willing to pay it?
If they pushed this man to desperation, and the Blood Saber Sect decided to fight to the death with their Lin Family, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
However, to their surprise, Lei Bu hesitated for only a very short time before nodding in agreement, "No problem!"
Nobody expected that the infamous Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Sect would be so easy to negotiate with.
One hundred thousand gold coins, such a massive compensation, and he just agreed like that?
But then again, considering even Su Wushi had been slain by Lin Yi's sword, Lei Bu was probably scared to death at this moment. Any compensation within his means, Lei Bu would likely agree to without hesitation!
Money can be earned back, but once life is gone, it truly is gone.
Just as Lei Bu was about to lead the Blood Saber Sect's forces to withdraw,
Suddenly,
A sharp cry came from afar!
"Family Head Lin Zhe! Brother Lin Yi!"
"My Yun Family and Bai Family have come to join the battle!"
Two streams of people, arriving late, were seen heading straight for the Ye Family. They were indeed the forces of the two great families, the Yun Family and the Bai Family!
Upon seeing the arrival of the two families' forces, Lin Zhe quickly went to greet them. He approached the two Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families, "Family Heads, the battle is already over!"
"Over?"
The Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families were puzzled, looking at Lin Zhe with surprise on their faces.
"Has the Lin Family surrendered?"
This was their first thought.
Could it be that the Lin Family couldn't withstand the pressure and surrendered to the Su Family and the Blood Saber Sect?
"It is not the Lin Family that surrendered, but the Su Family and the Blood Saber Sect that have been defeated by us!"
"City Lord Su Wushi has been killed by Lin Yi!"
"The Blood Saber Sect has agreed to offer one hundred thousand gold coins to the Lin Family as an apology!"
A trace of pride appeared on Lin Zhe's face.
"What did you say?!"
The Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families both had expressions of disbelief.
Su Wushi killed, Blood Saber Sect paying a penalty?
How could this sound like a dream?
The Lin Family has such strength?
However, when they saw Su Wushi's already cold body not far away, the two Family Heads finally widened their eyes and were completely convinced!
"Hold on, you said Su Wushi was killed by whom, Lin Yi?"
The two Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families finally grasped the key point and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
A junior like Lin Yi actually managed to kill Su Wushi, who was at the Fourth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Qing City Lord?
The Lin Family was taking off...
From now on, the supreme power in Qing City might no longer be the Su Family but the Lin Family instead!
There was going to be a shift in the skies over Qing City!
...
The following day.
As the sunlight bathed the entirety of Qing City.
The news of the previous night's fiery conflict among Qing City's major families quickly spread throughout the city.
The City Lord's Mansion Su Family had colluded with the Jiang City power, Blood Saber Sect, launching a surprise attack on the Lin Family in hopes of annihilating it.
This was supposed to be a one-sided crushing!
But the final outcome was the annihilation of the Su Family and the humiliating escape of the Blood Saber Sect from Qing City!
City Lord Su Wushi also perished in this conflict.
The Su Family, once Qing City's leading family, was thoroughly defeated!
After this great battle, the Lin Family, which was seen as a "declined" noble family to the people of Qing City, rose again, replacing the Su Family to become the premier power in Qing City!
As for Lin Yi, with his impressive feat of slaying Su Wushi, he became the focus of Qing City.
However, after becoming the focus of Qing City, Lin Yi himself had already left Qing City with his sister Lin Ning.
Outside the gates of Qing City.
Lin Zhe and Lin Chong, among the other Lin Family members, escorted them ten miles out of the city.
"Lin Yi, since you are determined to leave, the family will not keep you. The journey to the Imperial City is long, and you will need plenty of money. Take this one hundred thousand gold coins as your travel funds."
Lin Zhe took out the one hundred thousand gold coins compensated by the Blood Saber Sect and handed them all to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi did not refuse and accepted the gold.
He was the main contributor to the battle against the Su Family and the Blood Saber Sect; the one hundred thousand gold coins were rightly his.
Moreover, the Lin Family's gain from this battle was more than just the one hundred thousand gold coins. They had also acquired the entire property of the Su Family, worth several times that amount of gold.
"Brother Lin Yi, this is a small token from the Yun and Bai Families, we hope you won't disdain it."
The Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families also presented a generous gift to Lin Yi. When he opened it, he saw that it was two gourds of Nine Yang Pills.
These Nine Yang Pills, used to suppress Cold Poison, would be of great use to Lin Ning.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Lin Yi thanked the two Yun and Bai Family Heads with a bow of his fists.
"No need for formalities, we're glad to have been able to help!"
The two Family Heads secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having heard that Lin Yi was extremely fond of his sister. It seemed that the rumors were true.
"Gentlemen, until we meet again!"
Lin Yi did not waste any more words. After bowing his hands to Lin Zhe and the others, he entered the carriage with Lin Ning.
Soon, Brother and Sister Lin disappeared from the sight of the people of Qing City!
"What a pity! If he hadn't lost his dantian, Lin Yi would surely have been an extraordinary genius. He might even have made it onto the Hidden Dragon List!"
One of the Yun Family heads couldn't help but lament.
The Hidden Dragon List!
The mention sent a shock through the others.
Throughout the Eastern Domain, with its hundreds of princely states and hidden families and sects, one common goal for all young generations was to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List!
The Hidden Dragon List was the most authoritative ranking in the entire Eastern Domain, and those who made it onto the list were geniuses among geniuses!
In the entire Shi Country, there were only two people who made the list!
One was at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy!
And the other was the Seventh Princess of the Shi Country Royal Family, Lu Qingcheng!
"I think, however, that the dantian might not necessarily restrain Lin Yi!"
Lin Zhe shook his head, his eyes gleaming with a hint of light. "This young man always brings surprises!"
"It probably won't be long before we hear of some new exploits he stirs up in the Imperial City!"
"Let's just wait and see!"
