Chapter 462 - 354: Seizing the Opportunity, Killing Intent Arises, Spirit Mountain Flying Boat
To be honest, he was scared out of his mind right now.
If Lin Chang’sheng really didn’t care about the backlash he’d suffer killing them, then there’s no way they’d survive today.
Because Lin Chang’sheng was a Void Refining Cultivator. Killing them, the Divinity Transformation cultivators, would be the easiest thing in the world for him.
"You think I’m the reckless one? It’s you lot who don’t care about your lives!"
Lin Chang’sheng moved Zhao Shuang’Er behind him protectively, glaring coldly at Dugu Yan and Dugu Yong. He’d already let these two live once, yet they still wouldn’t let it go.
Today, he definitely couldn’t let them walk away.
"What a joke! I’m the Sect Leader’s son from the Myriad Beasts Sect. If you dare kill me, my Myriad Beasts Sect will tear you to pieces!"
Dugu Yong immediately threw out the name of the Myriad Beasts Sect, trying to threaten Lin Chang’sheng.
But that threat meant nothing to Lin Chang’sheng.
Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t even scared of a giant power like the Celestial Nether Sword Sect, so why would he fear the Myriad Beasts Sect?
"How laughable!"
Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes turned icy cold, not bothering with any more words.
He threw out a punch without hesitation.
Roar—
Nine golden dragons coiled around his Fist Aura, making the punch seem overwhelmingly fierce.
Dugu Yong saw that Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t intimidated by the Myriad Beasts Sect at all, that he only wanted to kill him, and instantly panicked, stumbling backward in terror.
But in just a blink, he was about to reach the edge of the Flying Shuttle. Dugu Yong realized there was nowhere left to run, so he could only swing his Spirit Treasure and slice out with his sword.
Boom—
The Sword Aura and Fist Aura violently clashed, erupting with a thunderous boom.
With a shattering roar, the Fist Aura instantly smashed through Dugu Yong’s Sword Aura, and continued its unstoppable assault, slamming into Dugu Yong’s shoulder and arm.
That punch not only sent Dugu Yong flying from the Flying Shuttle, it also shattered his entire right arm, spraying blood everywhere.
"Big brother!"
Dugu Yan, seeing Dugu Yong injured, immediately threw out her long whip and wrapped it around Dugu Yong, dragging him back on board before he could fall.
Otherwise, if he plummeted thousands of feet in that condition, he’d be dead for sure.
"Yan’Er, get out of here! Go tell father—he must avenge me!"
Dugu Yong was bitter and unwilling, but knew there was nowhere left to escape today. His only hope was that Dugu Yan could get away and inform their father.
So someone could avenge his blood debt.
"Big brother, you’re not going to die! I’ll get you out right now!"
Dugu Yan grabbed her brother and leapt, ready to escape from the Flying Shuttle.
"Do you really think you can get away?"
Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of letting the siblings off. Since they’d already harbored killing intent against him, he had to wipe them out, or they’d be endless trouble later.
He gathered Primordial Power in his palm, and instantly sent out a palm strike. The whole sky was filled with golden Palm Seals.
This was the Gods World Destruction Palm.
The exploding palm marks shot out, dazzling like shooting stars streaking across the sky.
"What a tyrannical attack! Why would the Dugu Siblings even provoke him? They’re just looking to die!"
"Exactly! The Myriad Beasts Sect Leader Dugu Yifang is gonna fly into a rage now!"
"Who cares? It’s not like the Myriad Beasts Sect is some saintly sect. Their children dying is what they deserve!"
"Right, Dugu Yifang is seriously a jerk—throwing his weight around just because he has some power! If both his kids die, that’s his karma!"
...
The young cultivators watching didn’t try to stop Lin Chang’sheng at all as he struck at the Dugu siblings.
Clearly, no one liked the Dugu Siblings and probably hoped they’d die sooner rather than later.
"Show mercy when you can!"
But just as those palm marks were about to crash into Dugu Yan and Dugu Yong, a voice echoed out like a great bell.
With that voice, a powerful shockwave blasted out from a Flying Boat not far away.
The soundwave instantly shattered all of Lin Chang’sheng’s golden Palm Seals.
As easily as a stream scattering a cluster of leaves.
"A Mahayana Stage cultivator?"
Lin Chang’sheng scanned the area and saw a group of people standing atop the nearby Flying Boat.
At their head was an old man, white-haired and bearded, exuding an ethereal immortals’ aura.
Lin Chang’sheng sensed the aura of the old man and realized he really was a Mahayana Stage powerhouse. No wonder a single soundwave from his voice could scatter Lin Chang’sheng’s attack so easily.
The difference in power between them was obvious.
"Elder Zhou, it’s me, Dugu Yan from the Myriad Beasts Sect!"
Dugu Yan, recognizing the man as Spirit Mountain Elder Zhou Chang, immediately smiled obsequiously.
They had met Zhou Chang once before.
Zhou Chang had visited the Myriad Beasts Sect to pick out mounts for Spirit Mountain disciples, and that’s where they’d crossed paths.
"Niece Dugu?"
Zhou Chang was surprised to see Dugu Yan here.
He hadn’t expected the girl’s the Myriad Beasts Sect Leader’s daughter.
"Elder Zhou, it’s me. That bastard tried to molest me, my brother stood up to him and got badly hurt, and now he’s trying to kill us to silence us. Please, you have to grant us justice!"
Dugu Yan put on a pitiful expression as she spoke.
Lin Chang’sheng just felt a wave of nausea hearing that.
Molest her? What, is he blind or some kind of pervert?
Zhao Shuang’Er is ten times better looking than her!
"Is that true?"
Zhou Chang looked toward Hou Yutian. Among everyone on the Flying Shuttle, Hou Yutian had the highest cultivation, so of course, Zhou Chang was looking to him for explanation.
"Elder, I swear on my life that never happened! In fact, they tried to sneak attack our disciple while he was in breakthrough and got crushed for their trouble! If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning and die an ugly death!"
Hou Yutian was left speechless—he’d met shameless people before, but nothing like Dugu Yan’s lies.
He’d thought it was just a small squabble, but he never expected even a Spirit Mountain elder would get dragged into this mess.
"Who was trying to break through?"
Zhou Chang wasn’t completely satisfied; if the one in question had mediocre cultivation, he’d just smack them dead here and move on—if he needed a mount from the Myriad Beasts Sect in the future, they’d probably provide one for free.
Helping people like that was an easy favor, after all.
But Lin Chang’sheng didn’t back down, his Primordial Spirit Dharma Body walking two steps forward. "So you beat the juniors, and now the old ones show up for justice?"
Lin Chang’sheng let out a cold laugh; there was no way he was going to bow and scrape for anyone.
Even facing a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, so what?
If the guy wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be easy either.
Now Lin Chang’sheng already had the Ancient Bronze Mirror in hand. If the old man dared to attack—
He could block with the Ancient Bronze Mirror’s devouring and rebound abilities, then escape using his Space Secret Technique.
Once he made it to the Refining God Sect, would Zhou Chang dare move against him just like that?
"Early Stage of Void Refining?"
Seeing Lin Chang’sheng, Zhou Chang was a little surprised.
He didn’t expect there to be such a top-tier talent on the Flying Shuttle.
Judging from Lin Chang’sheng’s looks, he wasn’t even thirty, but his cultivation already rivaled the top youths of Spirit Mountain.
This kid’s talent isn’t low! He could achieve anything in the future.
Plus, he’d just heard Lin Chang’sheng had been breaking through—so he’s about to break into the Middle Stage of Void Refining. That was even more impressive.
"Is this kid your sect disciple?"
Zhou Chang pressed Hou Yutian again.
This stumped Hou Yutian for a moment.
If he said no, maybe Lin Chang’sheng would be forcibly recruited by Spirit Mountain.
If he refused, Zhou Chang could just kill him, and then who would speak up for Lin Chang’sheng?
If he said yes, what if Zhou Chang got angry and dragged the entire Purple Sun Sect into this mess?
"Yes!"
After much hesitation, Hou Yutian admitted it outright.
He was gambling.
Gambling that Zhou Chang wouldn’t make things difficult just for Dugu Yong’s sake.
After all, Zhou Chang and Dugu Yong weren’t close at all.
To offend a peerless genius for Dugu Yong wasn’t worth it.
And Lin Chang’sheng was headed off to compete in the Celestial Pride List right now.
If he took a good ranking, he would be noticed by the giant sects—for all they knew, he could join a sect even stronger than Spirit Mountain.
That way, offending such a talent would come with a heavy price.
Zhou Chang clearly understood this logic, so he hesitated and made his decision quickly.
Weighing whether to kill or not, he finally chose to let it go.
"Since he’s your sect disciple, you’d better keep a close eye on him. The road to the Refining Void Sect is long—be careful."
Zhou Chang tossed out a warning, then left with his sect disciples.
"Elder Zhou, why didn’t you—"
"No more questions!"
Dugu Yan was confused—why didn’t Zhou Chang kill Lin Chang’sheng on the spot?
Didn’t Zhou Chang have Mahayana cultivation?
Killing a Void Refining Cultivator should be nothing to him, right?
But Zhou Chang had his own reasons.
He decided it wasn’t worth making an enemy of a future prodigy just for Dugu Yong’s sake.
Who knows—maybe Lin Chang’sheng was already on the radar of major powers. If he killed Lin Chang’sheng now, he might bring disaster on himself instead.
