oom rumble rumble *

An earth-shattering roar came from the alleyway.

The thunderbolt suddenly exploded as a destructive elemental energy storm engulfed the area, turning into a sea of fire that engulfed the black-robed old man who was just inches away.

Ah!

The last remnants of fear still remained in the black-robed old man's eyes. He only had enough time to let out a miserable scream before he was blasted into a bloody mist by the thunderbolt, scattering into the sky!

At this moment, the walls on both sides of the alleyway had already collapsed, forming two huge holes. Even the ground had been cut off to form an entire layer.

It had to be said that the thunderbolt refined by the elder was too terrifying. Its power was terrifying.

One had to know that the black-robed old man was a genuine tenth level Mortal Origin Stage expert. Even in the entire Blue Thunder City, there were only a handful of experts who had managed to stumble upon him, but he had accidentally fallen into Ling Yun's hands.

Even though Lingyun was still quite a distance away from the center of the explosion, he was still hit by the huge shockwave and was sent flying backwards.

"This... Isn't the power a little too great, is this the power of an Essence Weapon? "

Lingyun crawled up from the rubble, his body was covered in blood.

Looking at the scene created by the thunderbolt, he was shocked to the point that he couldn't even say a few words.

This thunderbolt was given to him by the pavilion master. Lingyun originally thought that its power was mediocre, but he never expected it to have such an unexpected effect.

"As expected of an Origin Tool that can only be refined by an Earth Origin Stage powerhouse, its power is simply devastating. However, there's one downside to this thunderbolt, it can only be used once, and once it's used up, it's gone. I still have two other ones, so I need to use them sparingly."

Lingyun put away the other two thunderbolts as if they were treasures.

"Now, it's time to get even with that bastard Ling Kun."

Ling Yun's heart was burning with anger, and he rushed towards the direction of the training grounds.

"..."

A moment later, a white-haired figure appeared in the alleyway.

Just now, the power of the thunderbolt had blown away the broken Origin Tool's barrier, causing the explosive power to leak out and alarm him.

This old man was surprisingly the elder that Ling Yun was very familiar with, the one who had always guarded the pavilion in the First Heaven Pavilion in obscurity.

He looked at the messy alleyway and felt the remaining bitterness in the air. A rich angry expression slowly appeared on his face.

"I never expected that such a deranged person who kills each other and exterminates others would actually appear in my Green Thunder City's Ling Family!"

"The mastermind must be afraid of Lingyun possessing a martial body and afraid of Lingyun threatening his position in the future, so he sent people to assassinate Lingyun. He even used a World Origin Tool. He's so generous, do you really think that I, Ling Yuan Dian, do not exist!"

"Fortunately, Ling Yun had used the power of the Thunderbolt and successfully escaped death. Otherwise, Ling Yun's death would have been the Ling Family's greatest loss!"

The more the pavilion master thought about it, the more angry he became. At the same time, he also became more and more worried about Ling Yun's safety.

The mastermind actually dared to openly commit murder in broad daylight within the Ling family. Then, he might even do something crazy.

"No, I have to go and watch. Lingyun definitely cannot have any mishaps."

With a flash, the elder disappeared from the alleyway.

"..."

Ling Family's Martial Arts Practice Field.

The referee impatiently looked up at the sun again and again, and finally couldn't resist saying: "Patriarch, it's already noon. Lingyun still hasn't appeared, he must have given up due to fear."

Ling Kun stood at the side of the arena with his hands behind his back, seeming very confident. When he heard the referee's words, no matter how shrewd he was, he couldn't help but flash a sinister smile as his conspiracy succeeded.

"Hehe, of course he won't appear. Ling Yun is … It's gone forever. "

Ling Nanqin said anxiously: "Father, let's wait a little longer. I feel that Ling Yun has definitely been delayed by something. He is not the type of person who would easily give up."

Ling Xingye frowned and said: "I also hope that he isn't such a person, but the truth is right in front of us, we've already waited long enough. If he doesn't appear now, I can only sentence him to give up."

"Sigh, what is Ling Yun trying to do?!" Ling Nanqin stomped her feet.

"Truly wasting my time... "I declare the champion of this year's Ling Family Martial Competition to be …" The referee was about to announce the result.

But just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.

"Wait, I'm coming."

Hearing this voice, the crowd immediately parted, opening up a path.

A tall and straight youth that was covered in blood and wearing a green robe appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"It's Ling Yun!"

"Ling Yun has finally appeared."

"He really makes us wait. I thought he wouldn't come."

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

"But... What happened to the wounds on his body? "

"His injuries are so severe, his entire body is covered in blood. Just how did he do this?"

"He hasn't appeared since the beginning, but now he has appeared with wounds all over his body. Did he encounter an assassination just now?"

"This is too much. He is the pride of the Ling Family, and he tried to assassinate us in broad daylight. He is truly insane."

In the stands, even Ling Xingye could no longer remain calm as he stood up from his seat.

The family's pride level expert had suddenly appeared, covered in blood. It seemed like he had almost met with an accident. As the Patriarch, how could he sit still?

"Ling Yun, what's going on with you!"

When Ling Xing Ye asked the question that everyone was concerned about, the entire martial arts training ground fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was waiting for Ling Yun's answer.

"Someone tried to kill me, but I, Ling Yun, am still alive."

Ling Yun calmly said these words. After he finished speaking, his gaze coldly swept over Ling Kun and Ling Ba.

"Damn, there really is someone who wants to assassinate Ling Yun. What kind of dog thief is he!"

"You want to harm the genius of my Ling Family? Don't let this old man know who you are, otherwise, this old man will skin him alive."

"Motherf * cker! Which bastard is it?!"

All of a sudden, the entire martial arts practice field became excited, and all of the Ling Family members started to curse loudly.

"Who wants to kill you?!" Ling Xingye's face revealed an expression of rage, and asked.

Ling Yun replied: "A black-cloaked person at the tenth level of the Mortal Origin Stage. However, he was killed by me, and not even his bones are left."

"Damn, it can't be, it's so fierce!" Even an assassin at the tenth level of the Mortal Origin Stage was killed by Ling Yun. How heaven defying is this? "

"I can't believe it, awesome!"

"He's not bragging, right? He's not a tenth level cultivator against the killing of others?" "How is this possible!?"

"This battle record, tsk tsk, it would be too awesome if it's true."

"However, today's matter is too dangerous, to actually send a tenth level Mortal Origin Stage expert to assassinate Ling Yun. If we let him succeed, wouldn't our Ling Family have to lose a super genius that is rarely seen in a hundred years?"

"Yeah, just thinking about it is enough to make people tremble in fear. Fortunately, Lingyun is awesome enough, he can even save himself from danger."

The Ling Family clansmen were shocked. Their voices were so loud that it seemed like they were about to lift the martial arts training ground.

"Humph!" He must investigate this matter! No matter who it is, there will be a price to pay for it. " Ling Xingye furiously slammed the table.

"Patriarch, there's no need to investigate. I know who the mastermind is and I know it." Although Ling Yun was covered in blood, he had a calm and composed expression the entire time.

As his voice fell, Ling Yun even glanced at Ling Kun.

"Hmm? "Could it be …" Ling Xingye let out a surprised sound, and looked towards Ling Kun, following Ling Yun's gaze.

"Could it be that Ling Kun and Ling Ba were behind this? Black Robe, Old Man … Aren't there experts at the tenth level of the Mortal Origin Stage under Ling Ba's command? "

When Ling Xing Ye's gaze also shifted towards Ling Kun, more and more people with keen senses of smell also thought of this possibility.

For a moment, many sharp gazes swept towards Ling Kun.

This caused the pressure on Ling Kun to suddenly increase.

Ling Kun's face flushed red as he said angrily: "What you guys are looking at me for has nothing to do with me."

It would be better if Ling Kun did not clarify anything. If he rushed to clarify things like this, it would be equivalent to losing three hundred taels of silver.

They didn't even say they suspected you, but you jumped out yourself, wanting to clear yourself of any suspicions.

"Hua!"

The crowd on the martial arts practice field was once again in an uproar.

"It can't really be …" Ling Kun, right? "

"Now that I think about it, it's not impossible. Ling Yun's talent is so strong, maybe Ling Kun felt threatened, and wanted to kill him before Ling Yun matured."

"Ling Kun will definitely not be able to escape responsibility. Other than that, is his father Ling Ba not involved? Without him, the Great Elder, how could Ling Kun have such power? "

"I didn't expect the problem to be my own family!"

Ling Ba's face was full of anger, he was about to open his mouth to suppress them.

But Ling Yun opened his mouth.

"Everyone, please calm down. I have a few words I want to say, no matter who the mastermind is, although I know it, I do not have substantial evidence, so I do not want to point him out in front of everyone. That would be meaningless, I will use my own way to avenge myself."

After Ling Yun finished speaking, he walked directly to the arena.
