"Ungrateful fool, you're courting death." The Hexuple Martial Master disciple from the Ghost Martial Sect coldly shouted, and in that instant, his Qi vibrated intensely, a ferocious aura suddenly spreading out. A mass of earthy yellow Qi burst forth from within his body. This person was an earth-element martial artist, and his Qi, like a halo, enveloped him completely, creating a sense of oppression that caused some of the Ghost Martial Sect disciples near the arena to momentarily find their breathing hindered and their internal Qi flow slowed.
Li Lin made no movement, but inside him, the Qi within his dantian Qi sea churned and vibrated, with powerful Qi rapidly flowing through his broad meridians. The invisible killing aura around him became even denser.
"Whoosh..."
Watching Li Lin, the confidence in the eyes of the Ghost Martial Sect's Hexuple Martial Master disciple began to waver, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping him, making him feel unnaturally tense. At this moment, having no choice but to act, his figure darted towards Li Lin like lightning.
At this moment, the Ghost Martial Sect's disciple was already holding a long spear, with a momentum as overwhelming as a tidal wave enveloping him. The spear thrust forward, creating multiple spear shadows in mid-air that tore through the air currents with a whistling sound, attacking Li Lin with relentless spear shadows covering the sky.
"This is the Ghost Martial Sect's Yellow-Rank beginner martial technique, Cloud Piercing Spear, right? It's rare to see a Hexuple Martial Master cultivate it to such a degree," Mo Tianwen from Jiuhua Gate commented.
"The power of the Cloud Piercing Spear is extraordinary. I'm afraid Li Lin from Flying Spirit Gate won't be able to withstand it," Sun Zishan from Qianshan Gate also said lightly. With their strength, they could easily tell that the disciple from the Ghost Martial Sect, with his Hexuple Martial Master level and this Yellow-Rank beginner martial technique, could even compete with an average Septuple Martial Master. Although Li Lin had some remarkable achievements, like killing five disciples from Jiuhua Gate, those disciples were only Quadruple Martial Masters and below, which hadn't yet reached a truly astonishing level.
The overwhelming spear shadows swiftly swept down, and less than ten meters away, the spear shadows created a fierce wind that caused ripples in the space around Li Lin.
Suddenly, Li Lin started to move. His eyes opened wide, and the killing aura around him could no longer be contained, erupting violently, almost solidifying the space.
At this moment, as the spear shadows approached, Li Lin swiftly formed hand seals, and instantly, his body was enveloped in a layer of yellow scale armor, dazzling yellow light covering his entire body.
"This is a defensive martial technique, and not an ordinary one at that."
Many sharp-eyed spectators among the top seats were surprised by Li Lin's display of the Qingling Armor, expressing their astonishment.
Dai Daozi, Dai Gangzi, Elder Wang, Elder Liu, and others furrowed their brows at the sight of the Qingling Armor on Li Lin, their eyes filled with surprise and even a hint of shock, unable to see through the level of the Qingling Armor.
"Thousand Hand Crack Seal."
Li Lin uttered deeply, his eyes filled with killing intent. Hand seals were rapidly formed, and a massive surge of earthy energy flooded the space like a tidal wave, with violent power instantly converging within the palm seal.
Waves of continuous earthy energy gathered, expanding the aura and might of the person instantly, and a yellow palm seal shot up towards the sky.
In an instant, as the spear shadows arrived, Li Lin did not retreat but advanced, moving forward, his palm seal shooting upwards, instantly transforming into several blurry palm seals, like lotus flowers composed of afterimages, covering the half-space in front of him.
The two figures, wrapped in powerful Qi, rushed towards each other with the speed of arrows leaving the bow, with the lower-level disciples of the Ghost Martial Sect only able to see two blurred figures shooting out.
"Sss..."

In that instant, the sky-filled spear shadows and palm seals collided directly, with a violent, earth-shattering force carrying an immense impact, colliding fiercely and causing a series of thunderous explosions in the space, spreading a violent Qi in the air.
At the point of collision between the two forces, sparks flew, and a ring of fine energy ripples began to spread out, transforming into a strong wind that tore through the air currents, creating a sharp whistling sound.
"Yellow-Rank advanced martial technique."
The strong figures among the top seats were amazed, recognizing the level of martial technique Li Lin was using as Yellow-Rank advanced.
In the midst of the violent Qi, a few powerful figures could clearly see that the sky-filled spear shadows, upon meeting the overwhelming palm seals, were instantly dispersed, with the violent Qi directly scattered. Li Lin's figure pressed forward, allowing the violent Qi to envelop him. Among the myriad of palm seals, one palm seal suddenly burst forth, striking fiercely onto a long spear.
"Die." Beneath the scale armor, Li Lin's face was fierce, his body surging with killing intent.
"Crack crack..."
The long spear shattered in response, its Qi leaking out and striking heavily onto the chest of the Hexuple Martial Master, causing the protective Qi barrier to crack. In that instant, the martial master's gaze turned blank, and it was only then that he realized the strength of his opponent. But now, it seemed too late.
Feeling the killing intent in the opponent's eyes and an invisible aura of malice emanating from all around, a fear from the depths of his soul spread out, causing an absolute palpitation. However, all these feelings were carried away with his body under the force of a tremendous power.
"Pfft..."
A mist of blood mixed with shattered organs was blasted away from the Ghost Martial Sect's Hexuple Martial Master disciple, his eyes closing unwillingly as his body was tossed about in the violent Qi like a kite with its string cut.
"Boom boom..."
The body of the Ghost Martial Sect's Hexuple Martial Master crashed heavily onto the ground fifty meters away, shaking the ground. His body landed, creating cracks on the surface, and the thick stone slabs instantly cracked, with the disciple's body completely deformed, leaving no chance of survival.
This sudden and unexpected turn of events made the surrounding thousands of Ghost Martial Sect disciples gasp in shock, a chill spreading from their minds. A Hexuple Martial Master, killed by the opponent in one move.
As the violent Qi dissipated, a yellow light figure appeared. Only those with a martial general's cultivation or higher could see clearly through the violent Qi, with others only seeing two blurred figures.
The yellow light faded, revealing a figure in a green robe to everyone's eyes, it was Li Lin.
Seeing Li Lin's figure, the Ghost Martial Sect's disciples felt even more solemn, their Hexuple Martial Master having been directly killed in one move by a Quadruple Martial Master.
At this moment, the elders and sect masters from various sects watching Li Lin were also shocked by everything that had transpired, finding the outcome absolutely unexpected.
"Hmph, I knew this little trickster wasn't simple," Lv Xiaoling said proudly, glancing at Elder Wang and Elder Liu beside her, a smile shining in her eyes.
Elder Wang and Elder Liu exchanged glances, both showing utter astonishment. Dai Daozi, Dai Gangzi, and others frowned, pondering over something.
Li Lin retracted the Qingling Armor and turned his gaze towards Du Yunshan in the distance.
"The third match, Li Lin of Flying Spirit Gate wins." Du Yunshan, momentarily stunned, then announced, his expression revealing an undeniable astonishment.
"Hmph..." Dai Chang'an and Dai Changyun, at this moment, both gave Li Lin a cold look, this outcome being the last thing they wanted to see.
Li Lin swept his gaze over the crowd, and upon catching Lv Xiaoling's gaze, he glared fiercely.
"Hmph!" Not to be outdone, Lv Xiaoling defiantly played with Li Lin's spatial beast pouch in her hand.
Li Lin, feeling helpless, turned his attention away from Lv Xiaoling, quietly regulating his Qi internally. Killing that Hexuple Martial Master, catching him off guard for a quick kill was not difficult, and he believed this would sufficiently shock the Ghost Martial Sect.
"Let's begin the fourth match."
Following Du Yunshan's announcement, two figures leaped up, Dai Chang'an and a Quadruple Martial Master disciple from Tianyi Gate.
As soon as they entered the stage, Dai Chang'an launched a fierce attack, waves of attacks crashing down with fiery intensity. Perhaps influenced by Dai Changyun's effortless victory and Li Lin's one-strike kill, Dai Chang'an aimed to impress Lv Xiaoling from the start, his attacks as relentless as a torrential downpour, displaying three martial techniques instantly, one of star-level high rank and two of Yellow-Rank beginner.
"Boom boom boom..."
The violent attacks created a continuous sound of explosions, the Tianyi Gate's Quadruple Martial Master unable to resist, retreating under the onslaught and being struck by a punch on the third move, then sent flying.
Dai Chang'an's coldness spread as he rushed forward, seemingly using a type of movement martial technique, his speed ghostly, directly killing the Tianyi Gate's Quadruple Martial Master.
Li Lin watched all this, noting Dai Chang'an's Quintuple Martial Master level of cultivation. Despite the fierce onslaught, it seemed he hadn't used his full strength. Being the son of the Ghost Martial Sect's Dai Daozi, he likely had some hidden cards.
"The fourth match, Dai Chang'an wins." Du Yunshan announced once more.
Dai Chang'an returned triumphantly, but the surrounding spectators from the Ghost Martial Sect were not as excited, still immersed in the chill of the previous match's one-strike kill.
