After devouring the true qi of that big man, Li Lin prepared to refine it later. Refining it on the spot would have been more effective, but it was not the right time here; there was no safe place for him to refine it peacefully. Besides, knowing that the leader of the mercenary group was severely injured, Li Lin did not want to miss this rare opportunity.

In a valley, an extremely hidden entrance made it difficult to find. Li Lin appeared outside the valley and entered it like a ghostly figure.

"Why haven't Chen Lao San and the other two come back yet? Could something have happened?" In the valley, behind a man-sized rock, a man in black muttered.

"Die!" At that moment, a light voice appeared in his ear, becoming his death knell. Five hot qi strikes pierced his back and chest, blood spurted out, and in his dying moment, he finally turned back to see a green figure standing on the rock behind him.

"Come out." Li Lin stood on the rock and called out lightly. He was able to attack the fifth-level warrior without being noticed, but he couldn't prevent the big boss from discovering him. The opponent was a fifth-level martial master, and the recent noise was enough to alert him.

"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be you, kid." The giant boss appeared in front of Li Lin, his face pale, looking at the corpse on the ground and then surveying the surroundings. His primary concern was the woman with the fierce fire eagle.

"No need to look, it's just me. Your Berserk Wolf Mercenary Group is now down to you alone," Li Lin said lightly, knowing that the boss was looking for Lan Ling.

"Did you do all this?" the giant man asked coldly, his eyes shooting with hatred. He coughed lightly, holding back a mouthful of blood. His injury from three days ago was not light and had almost claimed his life.

"Correct, I said I would avenge this grievance sooner or later," Li Lin said lightly, observing the giant boss. His injury was indeed severe, and his strength greatly reduced. Now was the best opportunity to confront him.

"Kid, we are irreconcilable. I can't quench my hatred if I don't kill you," the giant man finally lost his temper. He had painstakingly built the Berserk Wolf Mercenary Group, and now it was all destroyed by this youngster in front of him. How could he not hate?

"I feel the same. I won't be comfortable unless I kill you," Li Lin's eyes were filled with coldness. He had to take back what he had lost.

"Thinking you can deal with me just because I'm injured? I want to see what strength you have," the giant man said coldly, his eyes flashing cruelly. His true qi vibrated, and a hot claw mark condensed in his hand, sweeping out violently. The powerful qi pressure made the air whistle. Although injured, his strength was still extraordinary. Even a thin camel is bigger than a horse; this fifth-level martial master, though injured, was still formidable with his claw strike.

Li Lin felt the strength of this qi and slightly changed his expression, frowning. The giant boss's strength was greatly affected, but his power was still absolutely terrifying, at least at the second-level warrior tier, Li Lin estimated.

"Qing Ling Armor. Open Mountain Palm!"

Li Lin did not dare to be careless. After all, the opponent was a fifth-level martial master. He immediately set up the Qing Ling Armor and formed a hand seal. His true qi surged violently, with a earthy yellow light entwining around him. The air vibrated with his powerful qi, and he thrust out a palm print. The fierce power carried by the palm print created a sharp whistling sound in the air.

"A seventh-level warrior's strength, you're courting death," the giant man realized Li Lin's level of strength, his eyes flashing coldly. He directly grabbed with his claw mark.

"Bang bang!"

The crisp sound of a sonic boom resounded throughout the valley. The air currents around were instantly scattered. Li Lin felt a massive surge of qi on his palm print. Although most of the force was countered by his Qing Ling Armor, the remaining power was still formidable, causing his body to stagger involuntarily. The opponent's strength was truly formidable.

The giant man also stepped back a few steps, looking at the yellow armor on Li Lin and said, "Defensive martial skill."

Defensive martial skills were rare, and few people possessed them. Seeing Li Lin's defensive martial skill, the giant man couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Lin adjusted his breathing slightly, suppressing the surging blood qi in his heart. Without the Qing Ling Armor, he would have been injured by that move.

But Li Lin was also aware that the giant man was injured. Continuing the fight would only put the opponent at a disadvantage. His best strategy was not to give the opponent any chance to breathe.

"Again." With his true qi trembling under his feet, Li Lin leaped into the air, his hand releasing five fiery shadow fingers, creating sharp whistling sounds and tracing five hot arcs.

"Another dual-element warrior." The giant man's expression froze. Three days ago, he had encountered a dual-element warrior, and now this youngster was one too. The first move was of the earth element, now it was fire, clearly indicating a dual-element warrior. He wondered if all dual-element warriors were converging in the Misty Mountain Range these days.

In his surprise, the giant man leaped up instantly, his somewhat bulky body unbelievably twisting in mid-air, miraculously dodging the five finger strikes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The five finger strikes hit several rocks, instantly cracking and exploding them, sending out violent and raging qi.

"Kid, die." The giant man formed hand seals, and the temperature of the air around instantly became scorching hot. A half-meter-sized fireball quickly condensed between his hands and then violently shot towards Li Lin.

The fireball swept out, bringing a hot qi surge, compressing the entire space, with the air whistling and sonic booms starting to emanate.

Li Lin's face darkened, and his eyes grew more solemn. He rapidly formed mysterious hand seals, and suddenly, he was enveloped in a blue light shield.

Instantly, a strong and violent force spread out from Li Lin, and a massive, dense water element energy surged around him. This energy gathered at an astonishing speed, and the entire valley space was invisibly suppressed.

"Angry Sea Roar."

Li Lin released his hand seals, and this dense water energy quickly condensed into a spinning rain curtain in front of him. The ferocious power howled to life. A Yellow-grade martial skill, absolutely terrifying. At this moment, Li Lin knew he had to use all his strength to deal with the giant man.

"Water-element martial skill, a triple-element warrior." The giant man's face instantly stiffened. This youngster was a triple-element warrior, which was incredibly unbelievable.

At that moment, the giant man's fireball collided with the rain curtain, immediately causing it to cave in several meters and creating ripples like waves.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The whistling sound echoed, and the space around seemed to tremble. The rain curtain widened, and a massive body of water appeared above the valley, as if to cover it. Giant waves surged and howled continuously.

A terrifyingly dense water-element energy was still gathering at a frightening speed. In just the blink of an eye, a huge blue vortex about eighty to ninety meters in diameter surged and howled into existence.

This vortex was not as large as the one Li Lin had deployed in the river last time, being about twenty meters smaller. As the blue vortex spun rapidly, it resembled a tsunami's giant wave, with an angry sea roaring. The terrifying aura that spread out was fierce and horrifying, causing a series of explosive sounds to resonate throughout the valley.

After a momentary pause, the vortex began spinning rapidly. Finally, with a deafening roar, it expanded like lightning. The terrifying aura and fierce pressure emanated from within, distorting the surrounding air currents like a tornado sweeping through.

This extreme force instantly engulfed the giant man's condensed fireball, and at the same time, enveloped the giant man himself.

"Hiss..." The giant man's face changed drastically. A red protective circle of intense heat was set up around him, and his body rapidly retreated. However, he couldn't escape the envelopment of the terrifying vortex.

"Boom boom boom!"

The rapidly spinning vortex exploded with a deafening blast that echoed through the valley. The terrifying qi burst out like a hurricane, causing a downpour-like effect in the valley. The rocks around were directly shaken off, and the ground within hundreds of meters sank and cracked, forming a large pit.

"Pfft..."

As the vortex exploded, a massive force poured onto the giant man's protective circle, bending it into a huge arc, but it did not break. A spurt of blood sprayed from the giant man's mouth, overwhelmed by the force, especially since he was already severely injured.

The surroundings returned to calm, with the giant man's face pale and frozen in horror. He muttered, "Yellow-grade martial skill, it's a Yellow-grade martial skill."

At this time, Li Lin's face also showed a pale color. Deploying the Angry Sea Roar had consumed a lot, and it was not enough to kill the giant man.

"Kid, next time I see you, I won't let you go." After saying this, the giant man's body suddenly lunged towards the outside of the valley. Now doubly injured, he could no longer contend with even a seventh-level warrior.

"Thinking of escaping..." Li Lin's figure swiftly leaped up, his true qi trembling beneath his feet as he rapidly pursued, releasing five fiery shadow fingers.

The finger prints pierced through the air currents, instantly striking the giant man's protective light circle, causing it to crack again. The giant man's body staggered forward, blood spraying out, and then he leaped forward again.

"Hmph," Li Lin snorted coldly, quickly chasing after him.

The two, one after the other, quickly exited the valley. The giant man was severely injured, and Li Lin did not want to miss this great opportunity to kill him. Although he was also exhausted, he still had more than an 80% chance of killing his opponent.

"Kid, I want to leave, and you can't stop me." The giant man looked back at Li Lin who was relentlessly pursuing him. His true qi surged wildly, increasing his speed, but only he knew the severity of his internal injuries and that they were reaching an uncontrollable level. He feared that in a short while, he would really be in trouble.

"Is that so?" Li Lin's expression darkened. He exerted his true qi to its fullest, accelerating instantly. Today, he was determined to kill this man. If he let him recover from his injuries, he would not have such an opportunity again.

On the way, Li Lin felt a sense of relief in his heart. Months ago, he had been chased by this man like a stray dog. He had sworn to take his revenge, and now he had finally done it.

"Damn it." The giant man fled, never having imagined that one day, he would be chased by a warrior like a stray dog.

"Pfft..."

As he fled, blood surged in his veins, and the giant man couldn't help but spew another jet of blood, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Li Lin's five finger strikes burst out again, tearing through the air with their ferocious power.

The giant man's expression darkened. He quickly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the five finger strikes, which then hit five towering trees. With a 'bang bang' sound, five tree branches as thick as bowls were cleaved off, and leaves fluttered down from above.

During this brief delay, Li Lin had already appeared beside the giant man.

"Why aren't you running anymore? Keep going," Li Lin mockingly watched the giant man, knowing that his severe injuries meant he couldn't continue.

"Kid, don't push me, or it won't end well for you. You're not qualified to kill me," the giant man said coldly, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Is that so? I'd like to try," Li Lin said, as his true qi surged rapidly around him, causing ripples in the air around him. The ripples spread, and the aura grew more intense.

A faint flame emerged from Li Lin, followed by a punch mingled with the flame, hitting the giant man with a powerful force.

"Raging Flame Fist!" Li Lin shouted, and a violent force swept through the air, causing the air currents to churn violently.

"Kid, you won't have it easy either."

The giant man roared, his eyes filled with resentful glares. He formed strange hand seals, and the energy around his body trembled. A scorching energy suddenly descended from the sky, and the temperature in the entire area soared. The leaves of the surrounding trees began to yellow, the branches withered, and slowly, as if in a furnace, started to smolder and dry up.

Around the giant man, a hundred meters of flames howled into existence, and the leaping flames made the air hiss.

"Fiery Explosion!" The giant man shouted, channeling all his true qi into the flames around him. The flame, filled with terrifying energy, reached a critical point. The giant man's face turned ashen, and his body wilted.

The flames surged, clashing with Li Lin's Raging Flame Fist. The intensity of the flames suddenly increased, shattering Li Lin's concentrated fist and enveloping him again.

Li Lin's expression darkened. A fifth-level martial master's final, desperate strike. This guy was fighting with his life. The power was undoubtedly extremely formidable. If he could withstand it, killing his opponent would be easy. But could he withstand such formidable power?

With no time to think, Li Lin's hands rapidly formed seals, and spiritual power surged. Instantly, a red greatsword condensed in his hands, its blade cutting through the air, creating a sharp whistling sound.

The red greatsword cut through the air, causing spatial vibrations and sonic booms. The blade's afterimage, carrying a terrifying force, pierced through the air, sending out a blinding light, and then fiercely slashed onto the flames.

The two terrifying forces collided, and a violent energy fluctuation erupted. An unparalleled force spread from the point of impact, visibly cracking the air currents within hundreds of meters. The entire sky began to twist and then crack under the immense power.

"Bang bang bang...!"

A deafening sound of sonic booms rose, and space shattered, exploding like thunder. In the midst of this explosion, a violent force poured onto Li Lin. The glow of the Qing Ling Armor dimmed instantly, and a stream of blood spurted from his body. Despite the protection of the Qing Ling Armor, Li Lin couldn't avoid injury. The power was too terrifying. The final full-strength strike of his opponent felt as if it was at the level of a third-tier martial master to Li Lin.

"Pfft..."

Compared to Li Lin, the giant man fared even worse. His wilted body was blown dozens of meters away, blood mist spraying out as he crashed heavily onto a withered tree, falling to the ground along with the towering tree.

Li Lin popped a healing pill into his mouth and walked over to the giant man.

"Spiritual technique, this is a spiritual technique, you're a spiritualist." The giant man looked at Li Lin in horror. The technique Li Lin had just used was definitely a spiritual technique. He could see that, but even witnessing it all, he couldn't believe it. A triple-element warrior, and also a spiritualist? How was this possible? Who exactly was this youngster?

"Correct, now you can die in peace," Li Lin said coldly, his eyes flashing with a murderous intent. He pressed a claw mark onto the giant man's heavenly spirit cover.

The giant man had no strength left to resist. A sudden sharp pain in his mind, followed by uncontrollable spasms, as his true qi was forcibly extracted from his body.

"What are you doing..." The giant man began to feel fear, a panic spreading from the depths of his soul, but it was too late for him to be afraid.

"Ah..."

As his true qi was forcibly extracted, which was akin to reversing his meridians, the giant man let out a miserable scream. In just ten minutes, he had turned into a dried corpse.
