Chapter 32: The First Great Victory

  。

  The Tianzhu gradually merged with the black dot at the center of the swirling vortex, and the sound of the vortex took on a conical shape, shrinking rapidly to tens of meters.

  Du Huang and the majestic lion energy in the air above were instantly engulfed by the swirling vortex column, especially that small mountain-sized ferocious lion energy, which was not only absorbed by the whirlpool but also cut, shattered, and broken inch by inch by the whirlpool's energy.

  "Lin Heng, what kind of cultivation are you, how can you be so terrifying!" Du Huang's hoarse voice roared, as he accelerated his body to fly towards Lin Heng, determined to die together. However, the magnetic attraction ability formed by the "Tian Tian Zhu" clearly slowed down his movements.

  In a split second, "Tongtian Pillar" flashed by him like a fleeting moment.

  A massive blood mist burst out between heaven and earth, and he was directly pulverized into powder.

  Not a single villain is left!

  In an instant, the majestic lion's energy in the air was also completely swallowed up by the Heavenly Pillar. The originally violently turbulent space only had that rotating and unceasing "Heavenly Pillar" left.

  Du Huang died, and his death was similar to that of Bu Zhiyao's murder by Duan Feng. He disappeared into the world without leaving any trace.

  Lin Feng stood in the sky with a heavy axe in hand, standing tall and proud, his entire body exuding an aura of loneliness.

  Suddenly, a piece of quiet cheers, especially Xie Yin and her brother, both of whom had excitedly red faces. Xie Yin continuously stretched out her arms to wave high, imitating the shouting: "Lin Gang is invincible under the sky, Hidden Sect is invincible under the sky..." and other flattering phrases of Golden Crow Sect...

  Originally considered the weakest and thought to be a sparring partner, Lin Heng has undoubtedly killed Du Huang in his late fourth rank!

  Originally, people who were waiting to see Wei Yin Zong's ugliness exposed were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. And those conspiracy theories that suspected Lin Heng of using sinister means to kill Yang De Song, the Grand Elder of Wei Yin Zong, were thoroughly debunked.

  It's too strong, relying on Lin Huan's strength in the "Heavy Pot Space", it is absolutely enough to kill Yang Desong.

  Hao Wu Xie narrowed his eyes, sizing up Lin Hang on the battlefield. Their brief encounter earlier had already made him aware that Lin Hang's strength was not to be underestimated. Yet, the power Lin Hang displayed still left him astonished, and at the same time, a killing intent surged forth.

  Jinwu Sect and Tuiyin Sect have been at odds for decades, with Jinwu Sect always being at a disadvantage. It wasn't until Xie Ping disappeared recently that Jinwu Sect was able to gradually gain the upper hand over Tuiyin Sect. He is more vigilant against Tuiyin Sect than any other sect and does not allow Tuiyin Sect to become powerful.

  His eyes flashed with a hint of venom: "The Hui Yin Sect is indeed cunning, first using Xie He to become a waste, and now another one surnamed Lin. If the Hui Yin Sect had endured in silence, not putting the surname Lin on stage, and I didn't know about it, that would be fine. Now that I do, how could I let him become a future threat?! This time at the Great Competition, I will personally take down the surname Lin, making the Hui Yin Sect a waste of a sect once again!"

  This time in the battle, there can only be one final champion, so he has a high probability of meeting Lin Heng. This is a great opportunity, and he makes up his mind to take advantage of it to kill Lin Heng. Otherwise, with Lin Heng's age and cultivation, he will definitely become a powerful helper for the Tiangong Sect.

  Actually, among the people present, or the four spectators, the most surprised was Zhuo Yi, the deputy leader of Mo Tan Valley.

  He clearly ignored Lin Heng from the beginning and put his strategic focus on Hao Wu Xie and Ye Xiao

  Cui's body, didn't expect Lin Heng this black horse vice master Zhuo Yi to appear halfway. In the past, he always had an attitude of being unrelated to him, but now he also has to carefully observe Lin Heng.

  The five winners will advance to the next round of competition and have a good chance of meeting each other.

  As for Ye Xiaocui, she gazed into the distance, as if pondering something. Meanwhile, the middle-aged monk who was also interested in Lin Feng announced the result of the match, declaring Lin Feng the winner. He couldn't help but show some excitement, his voice trembling slightly.

  Lin Huan came out of "Heavy Pot Space" and was greeted with thunderous applause.

  Lin Xuan bowed his head in gratitude and strode towards the Water Cloud Sect, which was filled with grief and indignation, as if nothing had happened, and walked away from the disciples of the Hui Yin Sect.

  In this world where might makes right, life is cruel like that. You want to kill others to protect yourself, but often you are also killed by others. The weak are preyed upon by the strong, and only the fittest survive.

  "Lin Shixiong, I knew you'd definitely win! You defeated the stinky sect master of Shuiyun Sect and made him flee in disarray......" Xie Yin ran out to greet him, full of excitement.

  Xie Li also led two elderly council members to welcome them, and said with joy: "Congratulations to Lin Shixiong for winning the first battle for our Tiyan Sect."

  Lin Heng arrived among the crowd of Ti Yin Sect, immediately causing a stir, and everyone surrounded him with cheers and hugs. At the height of excitement, they simply held his hands and feet, lifted him high into the air, caught him: and threw him again into the air. This great hero who changed the Ti Yin Sect's depression and raised their eyebrows, made this group of dozens of Ti Yin Sect disciples, who had been ignored by others since arriving at Jin Wu Sect, constantly enduring ridicule, turn into a sea of joy.

  Many people around were infected, and Lin Huan had previously made the Xuantian Sect's people look like fools, making them also have a good impression of Lin Huan, and they too cheered with joy. Except for the Shuiyun Sect and Jinyu Sect, the whole scene was cheering, rarely united in their efforts to celebrate Lin Huan's victory.

  According to the program, after the end of the first round match, it is the draw for the next round to choose the opponent.

  Since there are five winners, it is impossible to have a one-on-one showdown. Following the usual practice, the two players with the highest boundary will draw lots and take turns resting for one round, directly advancing to the next round. Among the five, the two with the highest boundary are undoubtedly Hao Wuxie and Zhuo Yi, both of whom are at the mid-fifth grade level.

  This is a kind of respect and privilege for the strong, just like the seed players in Lin's previous world, those with higher rankings would always have some advantages in the competition rules.

  The result of the draw was that Zhuo Yi would sit out, while Hao Wu Xie and the other three people would proceed to the next round.

  Hao Wu Xie sighed, feeling that his luck was not good. However, thinking about it, although he had to fight one more battle, his own realm was the highest. Facing several obviously lower-level opponents, at most, he would only waste a bit of energy, so he didn't say anything.

  The result of the four-person draw was that Hao Wu Xie would face Lin Heng, and Ye Xiao Cui would face a fifth-rank beginner named Qian Fu.

  What's wrong with Hao Lin?!!!!

  Wow! The whole stadium of tens of thousands of people erupted in cheers. From the start, Hao Wuxie was the hottest contender in this war, a mid-fifth-grade cultivator and one of the strongest among the ten participants. Lin Heng had just entered the fourth grade, although he killed Du Huang, a late-fourth-grade cultivator, but he still belonged to the lowest realm, and his strength was clearly unable to shake Hao Wuxie.

  This pair of opponents with such a huge gap, would actually be matched together? Lin Huan facing others, at least could survive, Hao Wu Xie was notorious for being ruthless and cruel, even if he surrendered, he would still attack, not stopping until his opponent was killed. Lin Huan facing him, almost had no way out but death!

  What a pity that such a young and outstanding young man has come to this! They had just begun to feel a little affection for Lin, and now they add sympathy. The affection is even stronger.

  The entire crowd fell silent, the previous excitement and cheers suddenly disappeared. Before they came here, most of them understood that in order to win in the end, they would inevitably encounter a strong opponent like Hao Wu Zhong, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

  Hao Wu Xie did not mention the way of virtue, and brutally killed Dou Feng who had no resistance, comparable to a fierce god.

  His body was instantly reduced to nothingness, leaving a brutal scene that still lingers in everyone's mind. Lin Heng knew that if he won against him, it would be great, but if he lost, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed, and he would face the same fate as Duan Feng at any time.

  Xie Li was also deeply silent, before the war, he asked Lin Heng to represent him in battle, mainly because of Lin Heng's astonishing strength. The second reason was that he only thought about losing and losing, Lin Heng would not have any danger to his life, but unexpectedly, Hao Wu Xie started a massacre in the first battle, turning this competition into a fight for life.

  In this way, Lin Huan became a life-and-death warrior for the Tiande Sect, and if he failed, he would die!

  The reward given by Zong to Lin Huan was only a symbolic four-product secret book, which was far from worth the risk for Lin Huan. He understood more than anyone else that Lin Huan agreed to go to war solely because of his affection for his own sister and brother.

  Right before his eyes, Hao Wu was innocent, but Xie Li suddenly felt a contradiction in his heart.

  Lin Heng continues to fight? Then one defeat, and he will face Hao Wu Xie's cruel killing. Lin Heng stops this battle, then loses the "Lian Jing Mine Vein" and the hidden sect is waiting for its fate of extinction. Most importantly, the arrow is on the string and cannot be withheld. He has no ability to stop it, because in several Grand Competition Wars, there was never a situation where he didn't fight after going up to the stage once.

  Even Xie Yin, who had been enthusiastically supporting Lin Huan and thought that Lin Huan was invincible, also fell silent.

  This is a life-and-death battle, and she fears that any word from her will change Lin's mind. From the perspective of interest, she naturally wants Lin to defeat Hao Wu Xie and help obtain two crystal mines. However, she knows that Hao Wu Xie is too powerful, and Lin is only at the fourth-grade boundary.

  Either win or die! Such a gamble made her hesitant and struggling.

  Her concern for Lin's safety and well-being had unknowingly surpassed the importance of winning or losing in comparison to life and death.

  The Shuiyun Sect, which had just been defeated by Lin Yun, was filled with a mixture of schadenfreude and resentment. Lin Yun had killed their sect leader in a fair and square battle, but they still harbored a grudge against him.

  The Jinwu Sect, where Hao Wuxie was located, was full of excitement and admiration. The Weihui Sect, on the other hand, constantly taunted and belittled them. In their eyes, Hao Wuxie's mid-fifth-grade cultivation made him almost invincible. Lin Heng had killed Du Huang, but he was still at the bottom in terms of strength, and it was only a matter of time before the sect master would have him executed.

  The landlord can pick out the weakest Lin Hang, and his luck is not bad.

  Hao Wu Xie heard the result of the draw, and his gaze swept towards Lin Heng with a chill: "Lin, enjoy your last day alive, tomorrow is your death date! You dare to take action on behalf of the Yi Yin Sect's trash, that means you are openly opposing me, Hao Wu Xie. If I don't kill you, wouldn't that be nurturing a tiger? Moreover, you publicly humiliated my invited judge in front of everyone at the Jinwu Sect, treating my Jinwu Sect as nothing. Not killing you would not demonstrate the prestige of my Jinwu Sect!"

  Lin Heng ignored his provocative gaze and walked towards the crowd.

  "You're just a clown, thinking that being mid-fifth rank is impressive! Tomorrow, at the Golden Crow Sect, I'll let you and your arrogant disciples who keep shouting about how invincible their sect master is see how I'll publicly crush you, this little clown!"

  Xie Li stepped forward at this time, his lips trembling, and after a moment, he resolutely said: "Lin Heng, unless we announce our withdrawal, the two crystal mines will be abandoned by us..."

  After much inner struggle and deliberation, Xie Li had no choice but to make a painful decision.

  Lin Heng was never a person of Wei Ying's faction, and he didn't have the obligation to make such sacrifices for Wei Ying.

  Lin Heng patted his little shoulder and said slowly: "I, Lin Heng, am not a person who goes back on my words. You can rest assured that I will help the Yi Yin Sect develop and grow. Since I promised to help the Yi Yin Sect in battle, I won't give up halfway. Moreover, I have a deep affection for you and your sister, and the Yi Yin Sect is facing this disaster, so it's only right that I help."

  I will not stand idly by."

  Xie Li's heart warmed up, and her eyes became slightly red.

  They were pursued and killed by Yang Desong from the beginning, isolated and helpless, one step at a time to the present. The difficulties and crises that came along the way were all due to Lin Hang's efforts and support. And Lin Hang almost didn't ask for anything in return, this kind of friendship was something he had never encountered before in the ruthless and cunning world of the Yi Yin Sect.

  Lin Heng swept his gaze across the tens of thousands of people below, saying calmly: "Hao Wu Xie is ruthless and cruel. If I don't kill him, after he gets the two mines, he will become even more powerful and my brother and I will be his first targets to eliminate. We can avoid it for now, but not forever. This battle is just bringing forward our fight to the death."

  The sky is bright with sunshine and white clouds reflecting each other, a clear and clean beautiful scenery of green mountains.

  "Don't worry, it's still the same old saying. I won't joke with my own life. No matter how strong Hao Wu Xie becomes, there will only be one outcome tomorrow: death!"

  A gentle breeze blew by, carrying words spoken in a low voice into the crowd.

  Tens of thousands of people listened to this faint yet powerful speech, knowing that Lin Huan's strength was weak, but inexplicably infected by the power in his words, they actually had a deep expectation for tomorrow's battle, as if born with a premonition that Lin Huan would really win.

  Mr. Twenty Thousand stood amidst the unobtrusive crowd, and he was also somewhat surprised by the result of Lin Huan's draw against Hao Wu Xie. After all, the difference in their realms was vast. A natural common sense made him think that this time Lin Huan might lose, but then he heard Lin Huan say this sentence in a light and careless tone, as if it were a warning or a declaration of his determination to fight to the end.

  His eyes lit up, and he was finally certain that tomorrow's battle would be the end of Hao Wu Xie!

  Lin Huan rarely made verbal promises to people, but this time he broke the norm and said it in front of tens of thousands of people. It's rare for Lin Huan to make a statement about others or other things, but once he does, it proves that he has a clear plan in mind.

  One day later, he had an overwhelming confidence in killing Hao Wu Xie, a mid-fifth-grade cultivator.

  "Lin Hong, you are indeed a profound and unfathomable enigma. Witnessing your brilliant performance in defeating Du Huang today, I feel that this trip has been worthwhile. Tomorrow is truly something to look forward to - what kind of enormous shock will you bring to these people before you're satisfied? Haha..."
