Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Gaps in Foundation Establishment
At the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley, a hundred-meter Spirit Boat slowly descended.
The Great Elder, Second Elder, and others quickly disembarked from the Spirit Boat, receiving the rest of the Lin Family members aboard.
The Huang Family members intended to stop them, but seeing the young man in green robes and white hair floating in the air, they couldn't help but pause.
Lin Xianzhi!
Of course, he had another title.
The Qinglian Sword Cultivator.
A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator who had mastered the Sword Intent of water.
"Impossible! You clearly..." The leading yellow-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator was also utterly shocked, staring at Lin Xianzhi, shaking his head frantically.
"You clearly should have died from the poison, right?" Lin Xianzhi replied calmly.
Thirty years of agony and healing had long calmed his heart, smooth as a mirror.
Of course, except for his family.
After Lin Shiming and the others brought back the Second Rank Supreme Grade medicinal Monkey Wine, one could say his Dao heart had also revived, even more vigorous than before!
Broken and then re-established, the Green Lotus suddenly sprouted.
At this moment, he was the Lin Family's sword!
"Take my sword, Huang Kaiyu, and let's see if the Huang Family, which has grown much bolder these past thirty years, has made any progress in strength!" Lin Xianzhi was the first to raise his hand, and the Qinglian Sword immediately let out a loud sword cry.
Green brilliance surged, and a green lotus emerged and bloomed atop the sword.
Then it transformed into countless waves of lotus Sword Qi.
A Sword Cultivator, Sword Qi begets naturally, that is Sword Intent.
"Progress? Then watch carefully!" The yellow-robed cultivator's face flushed red, absolutely furious.
It had been thirty years, they were from the same era, entered Foundation Establishment together, and yet he was still speaking to him in the tone of an elder!
What gave him the right to lecture him?
"Thirty years, your body is already rotten!" In front of Huang Kaiyu, the earthy yellow sword also shone brightly, turning into a giant heavy sword under the influence of the Foundation Establishment cultivator's True Yuan.
Its edge gleamed, and Sword Qi howled!
Go!
With a light shout, Huang Kaiyu launched a sword strike!
That wasn't all, he took out a talisman— a Defense Talisman with twisting, barely visible Spirit Patterns of the Third Rank.
"Xiaogeng Sword Talisman!"
After releasing the Sword Talisman, that still wasn't all; relying on the Huang Family's wealth and power, Huang Kaiyu took out a spear as well, also a Third Rank Magic Artifact!
Three techniques, any one of which was not inferior to the peak methods of the Early Stage Foundation Establishment.
Huang Kaiyu had long noticed that the fluctuations of Lin Xianzhi's Spiritual Power were not at their peak, merely reaching the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, so he was especially confident.
And in the eyes of the others, especially the Lin Family members, they couldn't help but curse out loud.
In his mouth, Huang Kaiyu spoke with mighty rhetoric, yet his hands seemed eager to unleash all the Magic Artifacts and treasures he had at Lin Xianzhi.
The Spirit Sword arrived in an instant!
Boom!
A loud noise erupted, and countless Sword Qi scattered.
The Qinglian Sword cried out, and the Green Lotus burst out once again.
The Sword of Water flowed like the tides of the great ocean, advancing in waves.
One sword after another, the earthy yellow giant sword was quickly sent flying away, followed by the Xiaogeng Sword Talisman, and the Third Rank spear!
All were cleaved by a single slash, then headed straight for Huang Kaiyu, startling him out of his wits.
He slapped out three or four Defense Talismans from within his body, as numerous light shields protected him tightly.
Sweat dripping from his forehead, he stared at Lin Xianzhi as if looking at a monster.
"How can you be so strong!"
"It's not about being strong, it's about there being differences even within Foundation Establishment!" Lin Xianzhi said indifferently, then with a flick of his hand, the Qinglian Sword flew back.
He pointed his finger into the air, issuing another sword strike.
This sword, the green light was even more pervasive, as if it was becoming more enthusiastic.
As enthusiasm took over, Lin Xianzhi disdainfully took out a wine jug and swallowed a mouthful of Spiritual Wine.
The Sword Qi once again rose by a third out of thin air.
A sword was unleashed, and the heavens and earth lost their color, all became Green Lotus, all became Sword Qi!
Huang Kaili felt his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
This damn Sword Cultivator, why is he even more terrifying than thirty years ago!
"Lin Xianzhi, thought you were dead. Coming out of seclusion and not visiting an old friend?" Another loud voice came, as a middle-aged man in a yellow robe and golden crown flew out.
A golden iron hoop smashed fiercely onto the Qinglian Sword, and after a violent metallic roar, the hoop bounced back, while the Qinglian Sword flew back to Lin Xianzhi.
"You Huang Family people, really all have the same dog-like appearance!" Lin Xianzhi, despite his usually good temper, couldn't help but curse out loud.
His arrival was naturally unknown to the Huang Family.
And the fact that the Huang Family slaughtered the people of their Lin Family, seized the Second Rank Superior Grade Spirit Vein, and even deployed two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was true.
This person before him was even Huang Kaiyu, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator!
It showed just how ruthless the Huang Family was and that they had the real intent to kill.
"You're still the same old you. We are both Foundation Establishment families, why engage in such fighting and killing. For us Immortal Cultivators, Foundation Establishment is but a mere two hundred and fifty years!" Huang Kaiyu faced Lin Xianzhi's mockery without anger, of course, he couldn't afford to be angry.
Since they couldn't kill the witness before being discovered, it meant their operation had already failed.
"Do you have the strength to persuade me?" However, only to hear Lin Xianzhi shake his head again and take another sip of Spiritual Wine.
His cheeks flushed, he once more pointed high with his index finger.
"You should know, even within the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, there are disparities!"
The extreme coldness of the words made several people's faces change instantly.
What followed was the Qinglian Sword growing to the size of seven or eight meters, with green Sword Intent transforming into infinite Sword Qi.
Furthermore, a layer of Sword Qi as an edge was passed over the Qinglian Sword!
Boom!
The Qinglian Sword slashed down, with a heaven-reaching sword radiance following.
In an instant, it turned into a stream of sword light and fiercely stabbed at Huang Kaiyu.
"How can it be so strong!" Huang Kaiyu muttered, his complexion extremely unsightly.
How could he feel that Lin Xianzhi, every sword was stronger than the last!
No way to catch!
Absolutely no way to catch!
"Attack together, Kaili!" Huang Kaiyu bellowed, then flipped his hands over, taking out a third-rank intermediate grade Magic Artifact, a spirit ring, and also pulled out a third-rank superior grade iron tower Magic Artifact.
Together with Huang Kaili's sword spear!
Slashing up in unison, the Spirit Light was brilliant and dazzling; this multi-layer attack represented the pinnacle of fighting force in each realm of Foundation Establishment.
Yet even so, under the stirring of the sword light, it was still the two people of the Huang Family who collapsed. As each spat out a mouthful of blood,
Their faces turned from leisurely composure to the unsightliness of a liver-like hue.
"We're willing to parley and apologize!" Seeing Lin Xianzhi's finger wave once more, with the Qinglian Sword poised to strike again, Huang Kaiyu quickly spoke.
This opening also represented the Huang Family's admission of defeat!
"Parley? No problem, wait till I've also cut you for a day and a night, then we'll talk!" Lin Xianzhi spoke indifferently, then once more pointed into the void with his finger.
Another sword, another Green Lotus.
This time, Huang Kaili and Huang Kaiyu had completely exhausted all their means, with an unknown number of Defense Talismans released.
Yet they were still sent flying with one slash!
Leaving behind two embarrassing figures spewing blood.
The scene was as silent as death; the Huang Family couldn't believe their two Foundation Establishment Elders were taken down with a single blow!
And the Lin Family couldn't believe their old clan's leader was so ferocious!
They couldn't even imagine the clan leader's supremely tyrannical words were spoken for revenge on their behalf!
Thinking of this, the gloom from being suppressed within the formation and attacked for an entire day and night was swept away.
"We'll parley, we are willing to give up three shops in Qingyun Market and also compensate with twenty Second Rank Spirit Trees!"
After Huang Kaiyu said this, Huang Kaili suddenly glared at him fiercely.
Not understanding, as any single shop in Qingyun Market could bring in thousands per year, it was a major market guarded by Purple Mansion cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect.
Let alone three shops.
"Ten shops and a hundred Spirit Trees!" Lin Xianzhi spoke.
