Chapter 43: Flaunting Killing Eye’s Power

“Boom”

The horrifyingly pressuring aura had instantly spread out across the entire survival arena.

Crack! Crack…

Everyone watched in shock as the ground of the survival arena started to crack under the enveloping of the white-eyebrowed old man’s Qi field.

They could only imagine just how much pressure Lin Han was under as well.

“The heavens decide life and death in the survival arena. So what if I killed Lin Duanjian? Elder, are you going to break clan laws by killing this junior of yours while I’m in here?”

Lin Han’s eyes were cold.

Was this white-eyebrowed old man really going to kill him in front of everybody?

This was the privilege granted by strength!

At this moment, Lin Han saw the residence master watching everything unfold from his seat at the very top. Not only did the residence master do nothing to stop what was happening, but his gaze also seemed to betray an internal struggle.

It was as if he was contemplating whether or not defending Lin Han would be worth it.

After all, if he were to do anything, he would be offending the white-eyebrowed old man, who was a powerful Consecrator from the Sect Residence.

He was half a step from being a Martial Grandmaster!

Lin Han gritted his teeth, at this moment, he released the Dragon Emperor Combat Body without hesitation.

“Boom”

The Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s Dragon Power True Element was being furiously consumed.

However, Lin Han instantaneously activated Dragon Emperor Combat Body and gained a three-fold increase in combat power. The surface of his body, right above his skin, glimmered with a faint layer of golden light.

“What clan rules? The clan rules won’t stop me from killing you like an ant!”

When the white-eyebrowed old man heard Lin Han’s shouted question, his expression shifted into one of cruelty.

As soon as his words fell, the faces of everyone present changed.

Even the face of the residence master, who was usually stoic and reserved, flashed with a disapproving expression.

This white-eyebrowed old man was completely disrespecting the Lin Clan Sect Residence in order to exact revenge for his disciple.

However, Lin Han knew that this white-eyebrowed old man was not part of the Lin Clan Sect Residence. In fact, he was actually a scattered cultivator[1] that was hired by the upper levels of the Sect Residence as a Consecrator.

Therefore, it made sense for the residence master to be struggling to make his decision.

One was the genius disciple belonging to his family and the other was an extremely powerful Consecrator and Elder.

He was stuck between a rock and a hard place!

While the residence master was hesitating on what to do, the white-eyebrowed old man had instantly made his move.

“Sky Destroying Great Collapse Hand!”

The white-eyebrowed old man leaped into the air before diving downwards to slam his palm into mid-air. A giant palm appeared out of thin air and covered the entire survival arena, its aura entirely suppressing.

This scene was extremely terrifying!

It was a skill used by Martial Grandmasters, who had True Element running through their body. It was a killing technique that was formed through absorbing Essence and Qi from their surroundings.

At this moment, everyone’s expressions changed as they watched Lin Han intently, their gazes nervous.

Would this giant black horse of the Outer Residence be killed in such a grandiose way?

“Azure Dragon Probing Claw Hand!”

Lin Han sucked in a deep breath, the mighty and terrifying Dragon Power True Element instantly boiling in his Dantian.

At this moment, his back started curving like a great dragon coiling inwards.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and the frightening power of his half top-grade martial art exploded instantly.

“Boom”

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Lin Han’s right arm suddenly swelled greatly until it became a dark green dragon’s arm. The palm of his hand was now extremely powerful and the dragon claw abruptly smashed towards mid-air.

Bang!

A terrible explosion suddenly sounded.

The three-fold increase in Lin Han’s strength gave his Azure Dragon Probing Claw Hand extreme explosive power that was almost equivalent to the power of a complete top-grade martial arts set.

“He shattered it!”

“Such a scary power!”

“What martial arts is that? That’s unimaginable!”

The next moment, gasps resounded throughout the entire survival arena.

Everyone saw it.

The white-eyebrowed old man’s giant hand that he had condensed from Essence and Qi was actually shattered to pieces by Lin Han’s dark green dragon arm.

The wrath of someone half a step from being a Martial Grandmaster’s was actually stopped by a disciple of fifth tier martial arts?!

At this moment, everyone looked towards Lin Han once more.

They suddenly felt that they had never properly understood this lowly subdivision disciple.

Every time they saw Lin Han, more and more of his powerful skills emerge to resolve a crisis again and again.

“Elder White Eyebrow, stay your hand!”

Suddenly, the residence master’s stern voice called.

Once they heard his order, everyone’s expressions changed into ones of surprise.

The residence master was protecting Lin Han?

What could this mean?

This meant that Lin Han’s capabilities were recognized by the residence master. Even if the residence master would be offending the white-eyebrowed old man, it would still be worth it.

As soon as the residence master’s words fell, Lin Ruyan, Lin Yan, and everybody else’s nervous expressions were immediately eased.

In the Lin Clan Sect Residence, the residence master held the most power so nobody had ever dared to go against his orders.

In the survival arena.

Lin Han heaved a small sigh of relief.

Although he had shattered the white-eyebrowed old man’s Sky-destroying Great Collapse Hand, the cost of such a technique was incredibly high.

The moment the half top-grade martial arts, Dragon Emperor Combat Body exploded, Lin Han had instantly consumed two-thirds of his strength.

However, he was still overjoyed since he actually managed to stop a semi-Martial Grandmaster’s act of wrath.

This was such an honor!

“Take this!”

Just at this moment, however, the white-eyebrowed old man’s voice sounded once more.

What?

He was still going to attack?

Lin Han quickly did a double-take; this white-eyebrowed old man was publicly going against the residence master’s orders.

“White Eyebrow, how dare you!” The residence master’s expression instantly became extremely dark. He stomped a foot into the ground before his tall and imposing figure rushed towards the survival arena.

However, at this moment, the white-eyebrowed old man’s second wave of attacks had already been unleashed.

True Element coursed through his body as he formed a True Element greatsword in his hands. It was so long it cut across the sky as it struck downwards.

‘This is bad. That sword possesses an extremely horrifying sword Qi, I won’t be able to stop it!’ Once Lin Han realized that he was in another life or death situation, his expression fell.

However, he also saw the residence master rushing over from the tall platform.

He immediately understood that all he needed was to delay things a little. Once the residence master arrived, this entire crisis would be resolved.

Majestic Golden Sun Cover?

Lin Han instantly shook his head.

The Majestic Golden Sun Cover would not be able to stop the True Element Greatsword from someone half a step from being a Martial Grandmaster.

‘I can only give that one a try.’

Suddenly, Lin Han directed an intense gaze at the white-eyebrowed old man.

At this moment, two pillars of intense light shot out of Lin Han’s eyes.

Killing Eye!

At this moment, Lin Han could only buy time by using an attack that targeted one’s will, a move that fell between martial arts cultivated by Warriors and spirit arts cultivated by Spirit Masters.

This was Lin Han’s second trump card—Killing Eye, which he had comprehended himself!

An attack upon the soul and the will would definitely work wonders against Warriors that do not know how to protect their soul and will.

“Hum”

The white-eyebrowed old man met Lin Han’s gaze for an instant.

That instant was all it took for his expression to change.

In his consciousness, his surroundings had changed entirely.

He was no longer in the Inner Residence or in the survival arena.

What the white-eyebrowed old man saw instead was mountains of corpses and an endless ocean of blood; countless skeletons floated on the surface of the blood ocean and it reeked of blood. It was like he had been sent to Hell itself.

“Cough!”

The white-eyebrowed old man spat a mouthful of blood.

Then, he was transported back as his vision cleared.

He was horrified as he stared at Lin Han, completely pale with a confused expression.

What was that skill just now?

Lin Han actually managed to affect his consciousness and mind? He actually made him see such a terrible illusion?

“White Eyebrow, enough!”

Elder White Eyebrow had just been startled from his illusion but the delay was more than enough for the residence master to enter the survival arena.

At this moment, the residence master’s tall and imposing figure was already standing beside Lin Han.

In an instant, the white-eyebrowed old man’s overwhelming pressure dissipated entirely.

Lin Han could feel an incredibly terrible power coming from the residence master; it was deeply hidden but if it were to explode, it would be absolutely horrifying.

It was no wonder the residence master was the strongest person in the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

“Residence master, I am ashamed of myself and I will leave the Sect Residence this instant!”

Elder White Eyebrow knew there would not be another chance for him to kill Lin Han today. His old eyes shined with unwillingness and resentment but he could only give a fist salute to the residence master before he turned and disappeared into the Inner Residence.

At this moment, the entire Inner Residence burst into an uproar after a brief moment of silence.

White Eyebrow Elder was the strongest Consecrator in the upper levels of the Inner Residence.

A powerhouse that was a half-step from Martial Grandmaster like him was actually thwarted multiple times by Lin Han?

What kind of powerful martial arts was that dark green dragon arm?

Furthermore, Lin Han had merely given White Eyebrow Elder one look before the elder’s expression changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

What scary skill was that too?

At this moment, Lin Ruyan, who was most familiar with Lin Han, was extremely confused.

Throughout her interactions with Lin Han, Lin Ruyan had originally thought that she had completely seen through this subdivision disciple.

However, it seemed that she understood him even less now.

Lin Han was always shrouded in mystery.

His endless stream of skills and his powerful and formidable explosive power had won over all the people of the Lin Clan.

He was the biggest dark horse at this Martial Arts Tea Party!

Some people were even secretly comparing Lin Han and Lin Gutian.

At this, Lin Gutian was slightly displeased.

Lin Cai, who was originally watching the good show a short distance away, had long been scared out of his wits.

“I now announce the end of the Martial Arts Tea Party!” proclaimed the residence master suddenly.
