The terrifying and strange power that Lin City had displayed caused Wen Zhongming to subconsciously feel fear.

That was because even though he had the upper hand in the fierce battle earlier, and Lin Chen had to take several steps back to stabilize himself, and he had only taken two steps back, only he himself knew that if nothing unexpected happened, that attack earlier would be sufficient to kill Lin Cheng.

But the problem was, there really was an accident!

This shocked Wen Zhongming the most. Naturally, he was very clear about his own strength. Compared to an ordinary martial artist, even if it was a martial artist at the peak of the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he was confident that he would have an absolute advantage.

This was because the power contained within his body had long since surpassed the pure Yuan Power. Instead, it had produced a trace of spirit energy!

This wisp of spirit energy was generated when he forcefully cultivated the profound art mental cultivation method he had obtained from the jade box.

He didn't dare to easily shatter his own dantian without sufficient pills, so he ended up stuck in this situation. However, the power contained within this sliver of Spiritual Energy, as well as the sliver of Spiritual Energy that caused his overall strength to soar, was unquestionable!

It was because there was a trace of spiritual energy in his body that Wen Zhongming was able to have several secret fights with the master of the Chu Family and not be at a disadvantage. He even faintly held a certain advantage.

Because of this, even though there were not as many experts as the Chu Clan, the Wen Clan was still able to openly challenge the Chu Clan.

Ever since this trace of Spiritual Energy appeared, Wen Zhongming had fought many times. Amongst them, there was no lack of powerhouses at the Pulse Wheel Realm, but the final victor would always be him. As long as he used that trace of Spiritual Energy, his opponent would end up as a ghost under his blade.

Today, not only did Lin Cheng not die, he even exploded out with a terrifying and strange power, which actually canceled out a lot of his spiritual energy.

Furthermore, Lin Chen's Yuan Power was simply so dense that it caused one's hair to stand on end. If it wasn't because he possessed that trace of Spiritual Energy, the one who would end up being at a disadvantage would not be Lin Cheng, but him!

This discovery caused Wen Zhongming to be incomparably shocked.

Lin Cheng actually possessed a strange power that could counteract a trace of his Spiritual Energy. In fact, Lin Cheng even possessed a thick Yuan Power that was not the slightest bit weaker than Lin Chen's … He had even surpassed him!

At this moment, Wen Zhongming panicked!

The thing that he relied on the most was the sliver of Spiritual Energy within his body. But now, the Spiritual Energy that could allow him to move without obstruction had lost its domineering and terrifying power and was restrained. This caused an uncontrollable fear to arise within Wen Zhongming's heart.

Without his greatest reliance, would he still be Lin City's opponent?

In his panic, Wen Zhongming subconsciously asked Lin Cheng what kind of power this was. At the same time, he also hoped to stall for time and defeat Lin Cheng with his rich combat experience.

However, what Wen Zhongming did not expect was that Lin City simply did not give him the opportunity to do so. Hearing what was said, he only sneered as his body suddenly expanded and he once again attacked like lightning.

That strike from before had greatly increased his confidence. He was already sure that the strength of Force could completely cancel out Wen Zhongming's terrifying Origin Energy. Although it wasn't enough to win, as long as it could be canceled out, he had the confidence to kill Wen Zhongming.

Because at the 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he had already opened up all his meridians.

His physique was absolutely incomparable to Wen Zhongming!

"Little bastard, you're courting death!"

Unexpectedly, Lin City ignored him and directly took his life. Wen Zhongming was shocked and furious. He roared loudly, clenched his teeth, and once again channeled a sliver of spiritual energy into his treasured blade, chopping towards Lin City's head.

Clang!

An ear-piercing sound rang out as the two blades clashed. In the next moment, Wen Zhongming, who originally had the advantage, changed his expression.

It was that terrifying power again!

At this moment, Wen Zhongming only felt that strange power from Lin City's saber once again cause his movements to become stiff. Even the circulation of the elemental energy in his body became sluggish.

At this time, Lin Cheng once again chopped out with his blade at lightning speed.

This was the first time in Wen Zhongming's life that he had ever felt the taste of death. Seeing the blade in Lin Cheng's hand slashing down, he was both shocked and enraged. However, the elemental energy circulating in his body made him unable to dodge, let alone suppress Lin Cheng.

In a moment of desperation, Wen Zhongming could only raise his saber to block once more. However, this time, he discovered that the power behind Lin Cheng's long blade was even stronger. His entire body shook as the blade in his hand was sent flying.

At this moment, Wen Zhongming felt his head explode and his soul leave his body. He was shocked to the extreme. He subconsciously rolled on the ground and soon after, a heart-wrenching pain began to spread throughout his body from his left shoulder.

He knew that his left shoulder had been hit by Lin Cheng, but he didn't have time to get angry because at this moment, Lin Cheng's next move had once again come crashing down on him.

"You little bastard, you dare …"

"Pfft!"

Wen Zhongming hadn't even completely shouted out his anger when he was chopped in half by Lin Cheng's saber. From his right rib to his left waist, he had been cut in half. Fresh blood spurted out in all directions.

"Little, little bastard, you …"

Wen Zhongming's body was split into two halves, but the strong elemental energy within his body prevented him from dying immediately. He looked at Lin Cheng in fear and unwillingness. His eyes were filled with hatred and his mouth was wide open, but he was no longer able to say a complete sentence.

Lin Cheng sneered and suddenly kicked out, sending Wen Zhongming's upper body flying. At the same time, he shouted:

"Little girl, catch!"

"Bam!"

The upper half of Wen Zhongming's body landed right in front of Bamboo Gou.

"Ugh …" "Ugh …" Although Wen Zhongming still maintained his consciousness, he was unable to speak. He could only let out a strange "uh" sound from his mouth.

"Wen Zhongming, go and repent to my parents!"

"Die!" Bamboo Forcing coldly shouted as the short sword in her hand stabbed out without the slightest hesitation. Wen Zhongming's head and neck were instantly separated and he died on the spot!

Ah!

All of a sudden, a scream of extreme terror came from the nearby roof and spread throughout the entire Wen family.

Some people looked at the scene before them in disbelief. When they saw how Wen Zhongming's head had been chopped off with a single slash of the bamboo stick, they immediately lost their souls in fear and subconsciously screamed out.

This scream startled the surrounding people and brought them back to their senses.

"Weng ~!"

"Hua —!"

It was as if a giant rock had smashed into a calm lake. In an instant, the entire Wen Family courtyard exploded. Everyone could not help but cry out in alarm. The people who were near them were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

It was only at this moment that the surrounding people of the Wen family finally reacted. They realized what they had just seen at that moment.

In their eyes, the usually invincible Patriarch had held the upper hand in the fierce battle just now. However, in that instant, he was killed!

The fact that Wen Zhongming had been killed in the hands of Lin City and Zhu Ziyang had given a huge shock to the people of the Wen family.

Many of them were originally very proud of themselves, even loudly complimenting the head of the family, Wen Zhongming, on how powerful he was, how profound his cultivation was, and how Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziquan overestimated themselves like clowns.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed.

The two clowns in their mouths easily killed their wise master. That was simply like a loud and clear slap to their faces.

Hence, when Lin Cheng's ice-cold gaze swept over them, it was as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast. Their scalps began to explode as they turned around and fled with their lives, looking extremely miserable.

Those closest to him were obviously the ones who were most optimistic about Wen Zhongming killing the two men from Lin City. At the same time, they were also the ones most loyal to the Wen family.

"S-please spare my life!"

"I am willing to follow you and offer everything you have."

"This little one knows where the Wen family's treasures are, and Wen Zhongming's secret chamber as well …"

These people kneeled on the ground, trembling like they were trying to sieve chaff. They begged for mercy with all their might, hoping that Lin City would let them go with a hint of hope and shock in their eyes.

Lin Cheng coldly said, "In the past, who else followed Wen Zhongming to kill Zhu Ziyang's parents? They automatically stepped forward!"

"He, he is the Patriarch …" He is Wen Zhongming's old brother and one of his most trusted aides. He must have been involved in what happened that year! "

Someone immediately pointed at an old man dressed in extravagant clothing. The latter had a deathly pale face and black eyes, as if he was on the verge of fainting.

Lin Chen coldly said, "Capture all of Wen Zhongming's trusted aides. You might be able to survive, otherwise …"

Before he could finish, those people had already rushed forward and grabbed the old man. One of them said, "Sire, there are still two stewards and Wen Zhongming's trusted aides. I will capture them soon enough …"

Lin Cheng waved his hand, and those people immediately felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and they hurriedly went all out to capture those people.

Because the more cultured and loyal one's confidant was, the more one knew of Wen Zhongming's strength, the more confident they were in him, so they stood closer to him.

The people on the outside were young people who were slightly braver, but when Lin City spoke, those who were closest to them didn't even have a chance to run away. They were immediately blocked by those who were eager to survive.

Although Wen Zhongming's trusted aides were not weak, they did not even have the courage to resist in front of Lin City. Even if they dared to resist, they were still unable to resist the onslaught of the martial artists surrounding them.

Lin City didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, he looked at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Little girl, I'll leave these people to you to handle!"

"Yes."

At this moment, Bamboo Bend's gaze moved away from Wen Zhongming's corpse. She lightly nodded her head and looked at Lin City, "Little thief, thank you."
