"Li Lin, has your Flying Spirit Gate turned against us?" In front of the Tianyi Gate, a middle-aged man in yellow robes stared at Li Lin, his eyes trembling with a cold light.

  Li Lin's gaze swept across, his lips slightly raised in indifference, and his eyebrows faintly lifted. This person was not a stranger to Li Lin; he was an elder of the Ghost Martial Sect, whom he had seen at the sect's grand meeting. When in the Misty Mountain Range, he devoured a fivefold martial general elder. From the Soul Searching Technique used, he learned that this person was named Zhou Ming, a ninefold martial general close to the peak level, ranked fourth in strength within the Ghost Martial Sect.

  There was also a piece of gossip that Li Lin learned from the brain of a fivefold martial general of the Ghost Martial Sect in the Misty Mountain Range. This person was Dai Gangzi's man. Not everyone in the Ghost Martial Sect was united; the brothers Dai Daozi and Dai Gangzi were always at odds.

  With a sweep of his gaze, Li Lin had taken in everyone present. There were about a dozen martial souls, as well as a second-level spirit general, a first-level martial general, and the rest included two spirit souls and several spirit masters.

  "People from the Ghost Martial Sect." Behind Zhou Ming, Li Lin looked towards a hundred or so people dressed in Ghost Martial Sect attire, all of whom were at the martial master level, presumably the elite disciples of the Ghost Martial Sect.

  "Dai Daozi really made his move." Li Lin smirked, guessing that Dai Daozi had arranged for people to rush to Tianyi Gate immediately after returning from Huamen Town.

  "Li Lin, have you gone deaf? Did you not hear me speaking?" Seeing that Li Lin did not respond, Zhou Ming's gaze darkened.

  "Boss, let me take him down." Little dragon's small eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and a murderous aura began to spread out. Those round eyes were now filled with killing intent, staring at Zhou Ming.

  "No, leave this person to me. The rest are yours to deal with. Try to capture the spirit users for me," Li Lin said to Little dragon. Turning his head to look at Zhou Yu and Liu Ya, he continued, "Elder Zhou, Protector Liu, just watch. Chase down anyone who tries to escape."

  "Don't worry, boss. With these people, it will be easy." Little dragon's confidence shone through, and he then turned his head back to the demonic beasts behind him, "Did you hear the boss's orders? Capture the spirit users, kill all the others."

  "Roar…"

  Five streaks of light shot into the sky instantly, four landed on the square in front of them, and one soared upwards, instantly bringing a terrifying aura that pressed down on the space. In the blink of an eye, five huge demonic beasts appeared before everyone.

  The first beast was a giant tiger, shining like jade, with a slight airflow from its mouth as if it was roaring. Its eyes shone brightly, and its mouth, filled with sharp sword-like teeth and fierce claws, exuded a tremendous aura of might.

  Next to this giant tiger was a double-headed giant python, covered in thick scales and emitting a bloody, ferocious light from its eyes. Its body was nearly five hundred meters long.

  A giant blue beast stood beside the double-headed giant python. Its body was hundreds of meters long, covered in blue fur, and its presence was overwhelming.

  The last beast was covered in blood-like scales, with a fierce and formidable aura spreading around it.

  "Roar…"

  In the sky, the body of the Skywinged Snow Lion expanded again, its mouth roaring continuously, its fangs gleaming with cold light, and its massive roar echoing in the sky.

  Beside the Skywinged Snow Lion, the Anti-scale Demon Peng spread its gigantic body over six hundred meters wide, with anti-scale sharp claws, its presence the most formidable among all the beasts, capable of distorting spatial ripples with its wings.

  "Hiss!"

  At this moment, Little dragon's body instantly moved from Li Lin's shoulder to the ground. A yellow light flashed, and his body transformed into a huge form, hundreds of meters long and tens of meters in diameter, with a powerful aura spreading out.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  "Woo woo…"

  The presence of these mountainous beasts pressed down from the sky, causing the thousand riders of the Flying Spirit Gate to panic, their bodies trembling. The immense pressure was something these ordinary horses could not withstand.

  The appearance of six gigantic beasts, with such formidable auras pressing down, caused those of lower strength to feel a suffocation.

  "My God…"

  "They are fifth-order demonic beasts."

  "There are sixth-order demonic beasts above, the black eagle in the sky is a sixth-order beast."

  At this moment, countless people within Tianyi Gate dropped their weapons in chaos, trembling with fear, and looked at each other, gasping in shock.

  Zhou Ming, watching the sudden appearance of these beasts, had his face change drastically, especially when his gaze landed on the Anti-scale Demon Peng in the sky. His expression turned even more horrified, realizing it was a sixth-order beast.

  A sixth-order beast, with strength comparable to a martial commander, was something his own strength could not contend with. Even as a ninefold martial general, he was no match.

  "Kill them," Li Lin's cold voice emanated without any hesitation. Li Lin had never intended to spare the people of Tianyi Gate.

  "Roar."

  "Gah!"

  Giant beast roars thundered through the space, like thunder exploding, the massive group of demonic beasts, without any delay, surged forward with their formidable beastly might. Their huge bodies moved, shaking the ground as they charged forward.

  "Roar…"

  The Anti-scale Demon Peng and the Skywinged Snow Lion flapped their wings, each creating a gust of wind in the sky, which turned into a giant tornado that swept across the area, pressing down instantly.

  "Boom boom!"

  In an instant, the Blood Jade Tiger, with its formidable presence, unleashed a claw attack that tore through space, instantly tearing several disciples of Tianyi Gate into pieces.

  "Run, run fast, we're no match for these beasts." The disciples of Tianyi Gate descended into chaos, screams echoing as they faced these massive beasts, incapable of mounting any effective attack.

  "Zhou Ming, it's your turn now." Li Lin appeared in front of Zhou Ming like a ghost, his demeanor indifferent to the surrounding slaughter and screams.

  "How could you have so many beasts…" Zhou Ming's face paled in shock, still not having recovered from the revelation. With a sixth-order beast by Li Lin's side, he was completely outmatched. He had originally planned to wipe out everyone from the Flying Spirit Gate, but now, everything had exceeded his expectations.

  "Let me see, the strength of a ninefold martial general." Li Lin spoke lightly, his expression darkening. Currently at the strength of a fivefold martial general, Li Lin was eager to know how far he was from a ninefold martial general. He was looking forward to the outcome himself.

  As soon as the words fell, a whirlwind flashed under Li Lin's feet, he touched the ground and charged towards Zhou Ming at an extremely fast speed.

  Zhou Ming instantly snapped back to reality, his face twitching as his expression turned cold.

  "Kid, I'll capture you first," Zhou Ming thought, deciding to capture Li Lin first, believing that would make things easier. This was the only way he saw fit at the moment.

  Making up his mind, Zhou Ming instantly unleashed the water attribute true qi within his body to its limit. His hand seals changed rapidly, and a claw imprint burst forth in front of him, pressing down with a tricky attack that carried the force capable of shaking spatial ripples, sweeping over the ground.

  "Green Spirit Armor." In that instant, Li Lin was surrounded by the Green Spirit Armor. His hands formed complex seals rapidly, and true qi surged through his meridians, converging in his palm. Around him, a massive amount of wood attribute energy gathered from all directions like strands of hair.

  In that moment, Li Lin's body shone brightly with green light, his aura dramatically rising. A palm imprint, half a meter in size and as clear as jade, adhered to Li Lin's palm. The space around him rippled, creating waves of spatial ripples spreading out.

  "Melancholic Soul Extinguishing Palm." A sharp light shot from Li Lin's eyes as he pushed forward, and the jade-like palm imprint burst forth, turning into a growing green light that met Zhou Ming's claw imprint in the air.

  Facing Zhou Ming, a ninefold martial general, Li Lin did not hold back and directly used the Xuan-level low-grade martial technique, Melancholic Soul Extinguishing Palm. He feared that ordinary martial techniques would not be able to withstand Zhou Ming's strength.

  Suddenly feeling such a formidable aura, Zhou Ming's face turned to surprise. He had not expected Li Lin's strength to cause such a disturbance.

  In an instant, the space within the entire area boiled, and the howling spatial ripples, along with the green palm imprint, collided with the overwhelming water attribute energy claw imprint. The explosion shattered a vast area of violent spatial ripples and detonated in mid-air.

  "Boom!"

  A massive sound of explosion echoed in the air, a terrifyingly powerful energy burst forth like a bomb, spreading out. The energy dissipated, the wind raged, and each gust of wind traced mysterious arcs, overlapping continuously like a net of green light arcs, then enveloping an area of thousands of meters.

  The next instant, as the light arc pressed down silently, when it reached the ground, the space within a kilometer twisted as if a wave of invisible aura spread out rapidly.

  "Damn it." Suddenly, Zhou Ming's face drastically changed. Within the green light arc, a tremendous force poured down, directly draining his true qi. In an instant, he lost over a third of his energy. This bizarre martial technique was terrifyingly powerful.
