The golden dragon collided with the huge blade in her hand, emitting a thunderous roar that reverberated for miles; the entire Snow Valley seemed to be shaken, and the sound waves simultaneously vibrated other mountains, triggering avalanches.
Martial Artists and Magic Users alike revered those with formidable strength, regardless of whether the person was an enemy or not. At the very least, Lin Mo's punch had utterly shocked their souls.
The golden dragon let out a piercing cry, fiercely shattering the giant blade before ramming into the chest of the ethereal War God, piercing right through it, then soared into the sky, gradually disappearing.
"It's impossible, I can't believe it."
Nan Qianjing floated in midair nearby, his face betraying pain, shock, bewilderment, and fear. He couldn't believe that the Forbidden Technique he had cultivated for nearly ten years—the Han Country's Female War God, touted as the strongest combat power—had just been defeated by a single punch from Lin Mo.
The War God in the void did not immediately vanish; instead, it stood rooted to the spot, though the fiery red lantern-like glow in its eyes began to dim. Then, a crack appeared on its arm, emitting golden light, followed by its shoulder, chest, thigh, foot, and finally its head, each splitting open to release a beam of golden light.
In the end, the Han Country's Female War God shattered like a broken mirror, completely dissipating into the sky.
Simultaneously, cracks splintered across Nan Qianjing's body, as if a red-hot glass ball had been thrown into water, starting to ice crack, with beams of golden light shooting out, ultimately pulverizing him.
With one punch, Lin Mo killed the Family Head of the Nan Family, Nan Qianjing!
Nan Qianjing, by summoning the Han Country's Female War God via the Summoning technique, had become one with her. As Lin Mo slew the great War God, Nan Qianjing naturally also became nothingness.
"There's another one," Lin Mo's eyes blazed with needle-sized flames.
"Star Fire Spreads."
Suddenly, two orange-red Fire Dragons burst forth from his eyes; the flames, hotter than a thousand degrees, instantly turned anything they touched to ash. The twin Fire Dragons dove into the forest, incinerating everything in their path, instantly turning the entirety of the Qian Family Village into a sea of fire.
Qian Xiong of the Qian Family would turn to ashes no matter where he hid among the trees.
Lin Mo, along with Yingzi and Xiao Zhu, left Snow Valley.
Lin Tanyu's slaying of the Family Heads of the Nan and Qian Families in Snow Valley shocked Han Country!
The Qian and Nan Families, as Han Country's two most powerful Martial Artist Clans, were simultaneously slain by Lin Mo in Snow Valley, sending shockwaves throughout the Martial Arts World!
Lin Mo didn't have time to look for Cui Xuanjian; instead, he headed east, obliterating various powers in his path in search of mystical creatures for the Xuanyuan Sword's Sword Spirit to devour, aiming to break through to a new level as soon as possible.
Huaxia's underground forums were once again dominated by news of Lin Tanyu.
Some even started threads summarizing Lin Mo's actions over the past month in Han Country.
He had slain Park Shiyou and ten Han Country experts, decimated the Li Family, and then bloodbathed both the Nan and Qian Families, causing an uproar that alarmed the entire Han Country.
Once again, the Martial Arts Forum of Huaxia was stirred into a huge wave of shock by news of Lin Tanyu.
"My husband really is amazing, isn't he? I want to bear his children," a female user commented.
"That's insane, if he keeps this up, won't he stir up Han Country's military?"
"Best to turn Han Country upside down."
"Who knows if it's true or not? Maybe someone is exaggerating the situation in Han Country," Young Master Wei of the Wei Family coldly commented.
Young Master Wei's words immediately brought out a bunch of people annoyed by Lin Tanyu stealing the spotlight.
"Yeah, maybe it's fake. Can he really go on a killing spree in Han Country without them caring?"
"I think all these incidents are made up, maybe even spread by him to gain fame."
"Heh heh, let's see him boast after our Huaxia's king arrives and defeats him."
Recently, the name Lin Tanyu spread rapidly in the Martial Arts World. Those Martial Artists' younger female disciples and beloved girls all idolized Lin Tanyu, calling him "husband" day and night, which naturally provoked the dissatisfaction of many male Martial Artists, particularly hating Lin Mo for showing off in the forum.
"A Bronze has the nerve to judge the Strongest King? Do you even qualify? Didn't you say last time that you'd eat shit? Have you done it? Or maybe you've eaten it, which is why your mouth stinks?"
Suddenly, an anonymous user named Yue Luohua commented.
As soon as Yue Luohua spoke up, Young Master Wei immediately went silent, and other female Martial Artists and those who supported Lin Tanyu also stood up. Soon the trolls were drowned out by a hail of scorn.
"Our Lin Tanyu is the Strongest King. Who are you guys? Dare to say what you're saying in front of Lin Tanyu."
"A bunch of keyboard warriors, spending the day not training properly but slandering Lin Tanyu online."
"Lin Tanyu struck a blow to Han Country's Martial Arts arrogance; he is Huaxia's pride. No one is allowed to slander him."
But as for all this, Lin Mo in distant Han Country had no idea. He had just wiped out another seven or eight powers and had collected two spirits for the Xuanyuan Sword's Sword Spirit to devour. He was now resting in an ancient courtyard.
In the courtyard, the grass was brimming with life and Yingzi sat on the ground, engrossed in her Cultivation. Having followed her master in Han Country for a month, Yingzi felt she lacked even the qualifications to assist her master and felt somewhat useless.
She didn't want to be just a vase tagging along by Lin Mo's side.
She was indeed Cultivating on one side, while Xiao Zhu didn't leave either. Instead, she had followed Lin Mo, guiding him on his way. Seeing both Lin Mo and Yingzi Cultivating, Xiao Zhu sat bored on a stone bench, resting her chin on one hand, her eyes vacant as she seemingly pondered something.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who sat in a quiet room, was like an old monk in meditation. A three-foot-long sword floated in front of him, its blade exuding a soft silver glow—not dazzlingly brilliant but a gentle silver, as if holding back its radiance.
The antiquated sword light was like the leaves of a willow under the blazing sun, slightly retracting, seemingly unadorned.
When Lin Mo opened his eyes, the corners of his lips curled into a smile, and the Xuanyuan Sword had leveled up once more.
"Are there guests?" Lin Mo pulled his thoughts back, suddenly frowning.
Outside the courtyard, Yingzi also opened her eyes at the same time, sensing a few strong auras approaching the ancient courtyard.
"People are coming." Yingzi clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on the narrow path leading to the courtyard.
The distracted Xiao Zhu looked up and indeed saw three figures walking toward the ancient courtyard. All three were clad in attire resembling that of ancient Huaxia. The woman in the center had long, flowing black hair and delicate features; she wore a pink robe, ethereal as a fairy, with a longsword strapped to her back.
On her flanks were two young men with handsome features that dazzled onlookers. However, the aura radiating from these three was no weaker than Yingzi's, clearly indicating they were Martial Arts experts.
"Who are you?" Yingzi asked with a slight frown, her eyes showing a hint of hostility.
"I'm Chen Yanghao from the Inner Sect of Taiji Sect, wishing to meet Lin Tanyu."
"Inner Sect Wudang Zhang Yesheng." The short-haired man spoke indifferently.
"Inner Sect Eyebrow Fairy Zhuang Ziruo." The long-haired woman's lips parted gently, her voice chiming like pearls falling onto a plate.
Huaxia's current young generation in the Martial Arts Forum, the three Martial Arts kings ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh, had all gathered here.
(The excitement continues tomorrow.)
