Young Master Guo, Mr. Nie, Lady Kong, and others couldn't help but be stunned. They had grievances with Qing Xuan, but at most, they would only get into a fight; none would dare to actually hurt Qing Xuan, let alone kill him.
After Lin Mo killed Qing Xuan, he stood with his sword at the ready, his gaze coldly sweeping across the crowd, the corner of his mouth lifting into a faint curve.
"Lin Tanyu, you've killed the Qingxuan Master. You are beyond redemption. Today, we, the people of Heavenly Gate, must kill you, the great devil," the old crone of Wind Thunder Sect said harshly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw Lin Tanyu kill the Qingxuan Master. So long as you kill him to avenge the Qingxuan Master, the Qingxuan Sect will surely not mistreat any of you," an elder from the True Fire Sect suddenly spoke up. Those who had not initially participated in the battle now had their eyes fixed on Lin Mo, showing a restless eagerness.
"Moreover, everyone knows that if we don't kill him, it might be impossible to open the gates of Immortal City. Fellow Daoists, please make your move," a middle-aged man from Red Moon Sect said slowly.
This was the most important matter of the day.
To open the gates to Immortal City, a key was needed, and Miao Xin was one of those keys.
"Since you all want to kill me, then save the nonsense."
Lin Mo, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, had his black hair fluttering in the wind, and his pupils shone with specks of purple light, appearing like a god demon, full of boldness and spirit.
"Executing this child is also an act of slaying demons and defending the path of righteousness," Master Fu Jun said as he once again controlled the Golden Sword to come forth.
Lin Mo might disregard the others, but he still had to treat Master Fu Jun with caution. With a swing of his sword, the heavens and earth changed color.
Elders from the True Fire Sect, Wind Thunder Sect, and Red Moon Sect attacked at the same time.
Other cultivators from Heavenly Gate also attacked together, various magic and sword lights covering the ground, and the sky above Lobu Lake gathered storm clouds, resembling a yellow vortex, with occasional flashes of lightning and sounds of thunder, as if doomsday was about to descend.
"Uncle, they're bullying the few with their numbers; we can't just stand by anymore," Ye Beichen said, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth fiercely.
These supposed exponents of the path of truth clearly wanted to kill Lin Mo and use Miao Xin as the key to open the gates to Immortal City, yet they made their intentions sound so honorable and righteous. Ye Beichen and the others couldn't stand to watch any longer.
"We cannot interfere in this matter."
The uncle sighed, shook his head, then formed a spell with his fingers, causing Ye Beichen to be immobilized, unable to move.
"Master, let me help you," Yingzi said, her wrist flickering as the Nine Heavens Sword appeared in her hand.
"I'm coming too." Miao Xin formed a spell, and an ice-colored longsword appeared in her hand, emitting a cold energy.
The disciples from Heavenly Gate who were attacking suddenly paused.
Lin Mo dealing with Master Fu Jun and the three elders from True Fire Sect, Red Moon Sect, and Wind Thunder Sect; the remaining Heavenly Gate disciples wouldn't pose much of an issue for Meng Die and Yingzi.
Lin Mo slapped down, and a Handprint condensed from True Yuan struck down from the sky, smashing several Heavenly Gate disciples into pulp.
With a horizontal sweep of his sword, more than a dozen disciples from the True Fire Sect, Red Moon Sect, and Wind Thunder Sect were cut at the waist, their Divine Souls completely extinguished.
The faces of the three elders from the True Fire Sect, Red Moon Sect, and Wind Thunder Sect flushed with rage.
This time, preparing to enter Immortal City, each family had sent their elite disciples, as there were many dangers after entering Immortal City. If they didn't possess strong abilities, they might not be able to obtain the good items inside.
Now that they had lost so many disciples, the three were naturally extremely angry.
An elder from Wind Thunder Sect took out a hammer, densely covered with lightning and exuding a terrifying presence.
"Is this the Heavenly Hammer from Wind Thunder Sect?"
People who recognized the scene exclaimed in surprise, never expecting Wind Thunder Sect to have invested so heavily this time.
The middle-aged man from Red Moon Sect also brought out a red mirror, spreading a seductive blood-red light in the sky and emitting a strange aura.
"Blood Moon Curse Mirror?"
Ye Beichen's uncle widened his eyes; this was the legendary Demon Artifact that was rumored to have been refined by Red Moon Sect. He had only heard rumors about it but never imagined they were true.
True Fire Sect's elder summoned a blood-red bead that blazed with flames, the Three-flavor True Fire Pearl.
Suddenly, a blue lightning as thick as an arm struck down abruptly, casting a blood-red light from the mirror that enveloped Lin Mo.
The red bead transformed into a fire dragon and rushed forward, distorting the air with its heat.
Lin Mo was shrouded in the red light, and Spiritual Energy leaked out of him as if a dam had burst, leaving his body extremely fatigued.
The blue lightning struck suddenly, and Lin Mo parried with his sword, only to be knocked back by the blow, his body covered in blue Thunder, a drilling pain nearly blanking out his mind.
A trickle of shockingly fresh blood seeped from Lin Mo's mouth, but his delicate face still wore a sunshine-like smile.
"It seems that Lin Tanyu is not invincible after all!" The old crone from Wind Thunder Sect said with a cold laugh, joy evident on her face.
At the same time, Samadhi Fire came at him fiercely. Just then, Lin Mo opened his mouth and suddenly swallowed the Samadhi Fire into his belly.
Everyone's faces were etched with disbelief.
Last time, Lin Mo cultivated the Fire Element Spiritual Energy to the Great Achievement Realm, and to him, devouring the Samadhi Fire was nothing more than a piece of cake.
While the True Fire Sect elder was still stunned, Lin Mo's eyes twinkled with purple light, and he opened his mouth to spew out a stream of purple Fire.
"What kind of flame is this?"
True Fire Sect was known for its Fire Control, but they had never seen such an eerie type of Flames.
Everywhere the Flames passed, another dozen or so Heavenly Sect's disciples were burned to ashes.
"Playing with fire in front of a Fire Control Master like me? You're still too green." The elder from True Fire Sect showed a sneer, suddenly drawing circles in the Void with both palms; a bizarre 'fire' character appeared before him.
"I've cultivated the Fire Control Technique for a hundred years, kid, your fire play is lacking. I'll take care of this cluster of Purple Fire Demon Flames for you."
However, before the True Fire Sect elder could finish his words, his complexion changed dramatically. The purple Flame completely devoured the 'fire' character in front of him and then covered his entire body.
The True Fire Sect elder's eyes were filled with horror and shock as he let out heart-wrenching screams, and within moments he was burned away into nothingness.
Both the old crone from Wind Thunder Sect and the middle-aged man from Red Moon Sect changed color at this sight.
Lin Mo didn't care about all that, gripping his Longsword, he charged into the crowd, slaughtering like a tempest; stopping men meant killing men, stopping deities meant killing deities.
"Green Lotus Sword Song!"
Lin Mo wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, with Thunder and frost flying together, the sword light bloomed like bright flowers, and dozens around him froze into ice sculptures before collapsing like shattered mirrors.
With one slash!
The crone from Wind Thunder Sect fiercely raised her Heavenly Hammer, but she still couldn't stop Lin Mo, who chopped down with force, cracking the Heavenly Hammer.
"How dare you…" The words of Wind Thunder Sect's old crone were cut short as the tip of the Xuanyuan Sword pierced straight through her throat!
