"Lin Yi, you...have no martial ethics..."
Lin Shan's eyes were wide open, dying with a grievance.
"Sorry, when I do things, I don't like leaving troubles behind."
Lin Yi just gave Lin Shan's corpse a cold glance.
Then he reached towards the corpse's waist.
He took away a Storage Bag.
And then he turned and left.
Soon, Lin Yi found Lin Ning, who had been tied up nearby.
With one sword stroke, he freed Lin Ning from her bonds.
"Brother, we need to leave quickly! That old dog Lin Shan is nearby, he wants to harm you!"
Lin Ning grabbed Lin Yi, ready to flee.
However, Lin Yi pulled her back, shaking his head and smiling, "Lin Shan is already dead."
"Dead?"
Lin Ning was startled, "How did he die?"
"I killed him."
"Brother, when did you become so powerful?"
Lin Ning looked at Lin Yi with disbelief.
Although she did not know Lin Shan's cultivation level, wasn't he the Lin Family Great Elder, the second in command of the Lin Family? Without some real skills, how could one become the Great Elder?
"I've always been a genius; I just came into my own recently!"
Lin Yi responded without hesitation.
"That's great!"
Lin Ning immediately gave him an envious look, "Brother, when will I have my breakthrough?"
"I also really want to join you in defeating villains, so I won't hold you back any longer!"
"You'll get there soon!"
Lin Yi took Lin Ning's hand and assured her, "Trust me, it won't be long before I find a cure for the Cold Poison in your body."
"Without the Cold Poison, you will be able to cultivate like a normal person!"
Lin Ning had a special physique; since birth, a strange Cold Poison had existed in her body.
Many doctors had been helpless before it.
Not to mention cultivating, even staying alive was a problem.
If not for relying on medication to extend her life,
she would probably not have lived to see this day.
But over time, her body was becoming weaker and was bound to collapse sooner or later.
A permanent cure must be found to save Lin Ning.
"I believe in you, Brother!"
Yet Lin Ning was very optimistic, with absolute trust in Lin Yi.
This made Lin Yi secretly vow in his heart.
No matter what, he had to find a way to cure his sister!
If it couldn't be cured in Qing City, then they would leave Qing City, go to bigger places!
To Shi Country Imperial City, or even beyond Shi Country!
...
Although Qing City was a small city in Shi Country, it had a population of several hundred thousand and was equipped with all kinds of facilities.
After leaving Chaotic Burial Mound, Lin Yi and Lin Ning, the siblings, returned to Qing City.
But on the way on a street, they saw a familiar female figure.
"Su Qingxue!"
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
At this moment, Su Qingxue, who had yet to notice Lin Yi, was laughing and talking with a richly-dressed young man beside her.
"Sister Qingxue, congratulations."
"With your peerless talent, entering our Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy to cultivate, it won't be long before you soar to the skies!"
The richly-dressed young man looked at Su Qingxue with a fiery gaze.
He didn't hide his admiration for her at all.
However, Su Qingxue was neither cold nor warm in response, merely offering a slight smile, "Once I'm at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy, I hope Brother Luo will take good care of me."
In her heart, she looked down on this Luo Tong.
Only the top talents of Shi Country could catch the eye of Su Qingxue, and Luo Tong was just an ordinary student at the Martial Arts Academy.
If it weren't for her recent admission to the Martial Arts Academy and the need to get acquainted with the environment, she would have kicked this Luo Tong far away already.
"Su Qingxue, has already joined the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy?"
Lin Yi's gaze grew sharp.
The Martial Arts Academy, formally known as the Stone Country Imperial Martial Arts Academy, was said to be supported by a major power and ranked as the number one academy in Shi Country.
This Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy was also Lin Yi's goal.
He hadn't expected that before Su Qingxue had left Qing City, she'd already been noticed and specially recruited by the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy?
Is this the appeal of an Anomaly Level genius?
However, Lin Yi did not care.
He then took Lin Ning and was ready to leave.
Three days later, on the Life and Death Platform, he would surely slay Su Qingxue!
"Isn't that the waste, Lin Yi?"
Just as Lin Yi was in deep thought.
A grating voice arrived.
A Su Family guard had spotted him and immediately shouted mockingly.
"Lin Yi?"
Brother Luo's eyebrows instantly knotted.
As a suitor of Su Qingxue, he was of course well aware of Lin Yi's affairs.
The thought of the female disciple he had fallen for at first sight being defiled by this kid.
It made him feel as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Lin Yi, this ungrateful scum!"
Murderous intent surged in Brother Luo's eyes, "Today, let me kill this scum, to avenge you and wash away your disgrace, Qingxue!"
No sooner had he spoken than Brother Luo, full of killing intent, headed straight for Lin Yi.
Su Qingxue showed no sign of wanting to stop him.
In the past two days, she had heard some rumors.
Lin Yi, it seemed, showed signs of awakening.
She could use Brother Luo to test Lin Yi and see if the news were true.
If Lin Yi died at the hands of Luo Tong, then the duel in three days would naturally be unnecessary.
"Lin Yi, meet your death!"
Just as Lin Yi was about to leave with Lin Ning, suddenly a thunderous voice exploded in his ears!
In his line of sight, he saw that Brother Luo had charged at him like a fierce tiger, without a word, and slashed at Lin Yi with his knife!
"What a fast blade!"
Passersby exclaimed in surprise.
Since when did Qing City have such a youthful master of the blade?
Su Qingxue also smiled coldly.
Even though she looked down on Brother Luo, he was a student at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy, in his early twenties and already a Martial Artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Furthermore, the cultivation techniques and martial arts studied at the Martial Arts Academy were all of high caliber.
In Qing City, wouldn't that be like bringing a higher dimension of strength, casually slaughtering at will?
Compared to Lin Yi, faced with Brother Luo's swift knife, he merely lifted his sword scabbard!
Without even unsheathing his sword!
But!
The next moment!
With a "clang" sound, the long knife in Brother Luo's hand was directly sent flying!
"Clank!"
Only then did Lin Yi unsheathe his sword, and with one sweep, he sliced across Brother Luo's throat.
Blood spurted everywhere!
All the passersby were petrified on the spot.
And Brother Luo lay on the ground in resentment, his eyes wide open.
After twitching twice, he ceased to move.
"Dead?"
Looking at Brother Luo's corpse on the ground.
Utter silence fell over the scene!
Fear and horror filled the eyes of all the Su Family guards!
This was a student of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy, and he had just been killed by Lin Yi?
Even Su Qingxue's face suddenly changed.
This waste, he really had an awakening?
"Su Qingxue, there are three days left until our duel, sending someone to mess with me now, are you afraid of losing?"
Lin Yi looked straight at Su Qingxue and said coldly.
"Afraid of losing?"
Su Qingxue let out a mocking laugh, "It seems killing a minor character has greatly boosted your confidence."
"But even if you have an awakening, what of it? Your Nine Acupoint Dantian is now in my body, do you think you still have the qualification to fight me?"
"Stealing from others, you'll eventually have to pay it back."
"Even without the Nine Acupoint Dantian, in three days, I will surely kill you!"
Lin Yi glanced coldly at Su Qingxue, wasting no more words, and immediately left with Lin Ning.
"Idiot!"
Watching Lin Yi's retreating figure, a trace of contempt flickered in Su Qingxue's beautiful eyes, "With a little power, you've become arrogant, hardly the making of a great man!"
"By killing Brother Luo, you're slapping the face of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy. In three days, when I execute you in front of the entire city, it will be to uphold the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy! At the same time, it will let the elders of the Martial Arts Academy see my strength, benefiting my future reputation in the Academy, and attracting the attention of important figures."
In an instant, Su Qingxue had everything thought out, and she smiled coldly, "Lin Yi, in this lifetime, you are destined to be nothing more than a stepping stone for me!"
"This is your fate!"
