Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Defeating Three Earthly Yuan Stage Practitioners, Clashing Against a Heavenly Yuan Stage Expert!
On the other side.
Lin Yan immediately launched a powerful offensive the moment he made his move.
After all, he was facing multiple opponents with strong abilities.
Although Lin Yan had great confidence in his own strength, confidence did not equate to arrogance. Facing these enemies, the best course of action was to go all out from the very beginning and swiftly reduce their numbers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
With a few gusts of wind, Lin Yan activated Purple Cloud Wings, accelerating with a low-altitude flight!
Before the Earthly Yuan Stage experts could react, he had already reached one of them from behind.
Lin Yan abruptly raised his right arm as a surge of purple flames erupted. Clenching his fist tightly, cracking sounds echoed from his knuckles.
Then, with immense force, he aimed directly at the back of one of his opponents. The sheer power of the strike caused the surrounding air to tremble with a low humming sound.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Lin Yan's punch landed heavily on the Earthly Yuan Stage Initial Phase expert's body. The force of the strike distorted his figure slightly.
The opponent could only let out a muffled groan of pain before being sent flying over ten meters away, rolling across the ground multiple times before losing consciousness completely.
"Who's there? How dare you launch a sneak attack?"
"You're courting death!"
The unexpected turn of events sent a shiver down the spines of the remaining two Earthly Yuan Stage practitioners, Lei Shan and Dai En.
Both were utterly shocked. Lin Yan's incredible speed had caught them completely off guard. Now, they had no choice but to bark out threats to boost their own morale while cautiously eyeing Lin Yan.
"The one who's going to kill you."
Lin Yan had no intention of wasting words.
Unlike the sparring matches with the younger generation of the Lin family, this was a life-and-death battle.
There was no room for so-called martial ethics.
As soon as his words fell, Lin Yan seized the momentum and launched a sweeping kick at the weaker opponent—Dai En.
Dai En was only at the Earthly Yuan Stage Initial Phase. If Lin Yan could take him down swiftly, only Lei Shan would remain.
Even though Lei Shan was also at the Earthly Yuan Stage Advanced Phase, if it came down to a one-on-one fight, Lin Yan could kill him as easily as crushing a chicken.
With that in mind, Lin Yan ferociously charged toward Dai En.
"Dai En, watch out! He's targeting you first!"
"This brat… Is he also at the Earthly Yuan Stage Advanced Phase?"
Lei Shan instantly saw through Lin Yan's intent, but when he sensed the waves of Yuan Power radiating from Lin Yan's body, his heart clenched in fear.
This young man, despite his age, had Yuan Power that rivaled his own!
"This kid must be eliminated!"
Lei Shan's gaze turned ruthless as he rushed forward, aiming a punch straight at Lin Yan's chest, attempting to force him back.
However, Lin Yan showed no intention of retreating.
With a sudden clench of his teeth, he twisted his body sideways.
Simultaneously, he threw out a fist with his other hand, blocking Lei Shan's attack while his leg swung fiercely at Dai En.
"Lei Shan, save me!"
Dai En panicked. He saw Lin Yan's attack incoming, and while his mind registered the danger, his body couldn't react in time.
In the end, all he could do was scream for help.
But Lei Shan's strike had already been neutralized by Lin Yan, rendering him incapable of saving his companion.
A second later, Lin Yan's kick struck Dai En squarely, making him cough up blood and collapse to his knees, unable to get up. On top of that, once the Purple Flame latched onto his body, he had to divert all his Yuan Power just to resist it, leaving him utterly immobilized.
"This kid… is this strong?"
"Is he really just at the Earthly Yuan Stage Advanced Phase?"
"Why does he feel as powerful as a Heavenly Yuan Stage practitioner?"
Lei Shan was completely stunned by Lin Yan's strength.
Initially, he had assumed that since they were both at the Earthly Yuan Stage Advanced Phase and he was older, he would naturally be the stronger one.
Yet, in mere moments, Lin Yan had neutralized his attack and single-handedly defeated two Earthly Yuan Stage Initial Phase experts.
At this point, even Lei Shan wavered, his eyes filled with dread toward Lin Yan. The Purple Flame and the devastating Eight Extremes Collapse left him shaken.
"What are you waiting for?! Hurry and call for help from Lei Ying and the others!"
"This guy… only a Heavenly Yuan Stage expert can deal with him!"
Lei Shan roared at his remaining subordinates.
At this moment, Lei Shan had already realized that he might not be a match for the young man before him.
"Brother Lin Yan's strength... is incredible."
"He already took down two of them so quickly."
"This is simply ridiculous."
On the other side, Lin Dong was utterly shocked by what he had just witnessed.
This was probably the first time he had ever seen Lin Yan go all out in a fight.
In the past, whenever Lin Yan made a move, it was either because he was sparring with family and holding back or because his opponents were too weak.
As a result, Lin Yan had never exerted himself fully in front of Lin Dong.
This led Lin Dong to be somewhat unsure about the true extent of Lin Yan's strength.
But now, it was different.
Lin Yan had erupted with full force, instantly defeating two Earthly Yuan Stage Initial Phase experts—enough to leave Lin Dong dumbfounded.
At that moment, Lin Dong realized his previous concerns had been unnecessary.
It seemed that Lin Yan didn't need his help at all—he could handle all three of them by himself.
"I need to speed things up."
"Uncle Xiao and Uncle Ken are keeping an eye on Lei Ying and the others, but this is still Lei Manor's territory. If they manage to escape first, it will be troublesome."
"I need to finish things here quickly and regroup with them."
Lin Yan contemplated internally.
Even though Lin Dong, Fire Python Tiger, and Xiao Cai were fighting alongside him—there were still too many enemies.
Aside from the guards, there were also many members of the Lei family, specifically assigned to cut down trees and destroy the land.
When they saw the situation taking a turn for the worse earlier, they had seemingly gone off to report the incident.
Lin Yan couldn't afford to drag this out any longer.
With that thought, Lin Yan once again launched an attack against Lei Shan.
This time, he didn't bother with any fancy moves. His Purple Flame flared up at full intensity, instantly engulfing his arm in purple fire.
Then, with a sharp focus on Lei Shan, he threw another devastating punch.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Lei Shan dared not take it head-on.
He immediately assumed a defensive stance, fully aware of Lin Yan's overwhelming strength.
After witnessing what had just happened, he had no intention of risking his life—his only goal now was to hold out as long as possible until Lei Ying and the others arrived.
If they got there in time, the situation could be reversed in an instant.
Boom!
Yet, he had still underestimated Lin Yan's power. Despite his full-force defense, Lei Shan felt himself being pushed back.
Smack!
Another Eight Extremes Collapse, wrapped in Purple Flame, smashed into him. The overwhelming force numbed his arms instantly.
Lin Yan, unwilling to relent, seized the opportunity.
The moment he noticed Lei Shan's arms going numb, he launched another punch—this time, aiming straight for Lei Shan's face.
"It's over!"
"I can't lift my hands! My body can't dodge!"
"Am I really going to fall here today?"
Lei Shan's heart turned ice-cold. He felt that his fate was sealed.
However, at the last critical moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared before him.
Instead of dodging, this figure directly met Lin Yan's attack head-on.
"Lei Ying of the Lei family?"
"A Heavenly Yuan Stage practitioner?"
Lin Yan immediately recognized the opponent and sighed inwardly.
"It seems... I still took too long."
He exhaled deeply.
"Well, in that case..."
"Let me test the strength of a Heavenly Yuan Stage expert!"
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
With that, his punch did not slow down but instead grew even fiercer—and at the same time, Lei Ying's punch collided with Lin Yan's Eight Extremes Collapse!
