Blood mist splashed into the air as Shui Gen's entire right arm was sliced apart. His body staggered backward several steps before landing on the ground, and he barely managed to stabilize himself.
The instant Shui Gen landed on the ground, he quickly knelt on the spot while grabbing his right shoulder. His face was twisted in shock and pain. Blood gushed out of his severed right shoulder, flowing down a streak and forming a small pool on the ground.
"Who are you!? Do you dare to show up?" Shui Gen roared while scanning the surrounding. The attacker didn't even show up, yet he could cut his arm like this. What kind of power was that?
"Boss!" The other five brothers hurriedly came to Shui Gen's side and looked around vigilantly. Like Shui Gen, they couldn't even notice a trace from the attacker. Not even a trace of aura could be found.
A strange light flashed through Lei Yongzheng's eyes as he inadvertently glanced at the Golden Mountain below. Although he wasn't sure, there shouldn't be anyone besides Yun Lintian willing to save him.
Yu Qiao and Gu Wei were no exception. They glanced at each other and seemed to guess something.
Inside the Golden Mountain, Yun Lintian said in surprise. "So this is my Divine Sense?"
Earlier, he used his Divine Sense to check the situation outside. When he saw Lei Yongzheng was about to get bombarded, he subconsciously exerted his power into the Divine Sense, forming a sword intent.
This move was extremely novel for him.
"As I said before, when your Divine Sense is formed, you will be able to manifest your power through it," Hongyue explained briefly. "I didn't expect you to achieve it on the first try."
She paused for a moment and asked. "Are you trying to make them your slaves?"
Yun Lintian nodded admittedly. "They are the peak experts. It would be a pity to kill them like this. However, I don't know if we can control them through a soul contract."
"Very difficult," Hongyue said quickly. "Lauya's power is not enough to control them, while I cannot spend further power with the current condition."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said. "Let me try then… How long has passed?"
"Almost ten days," Hongyue replied. "I will go back first."
As she said, she quickly returned to the Land of Beyond Heaven and soaked in the Soul Lake directly.
"Thank you." Yun Lintian said sincerely. He knew that without Hongyue, he wouldn't be able to handle the fierceness of the massive energy torrent.
Yun Lintian's Divine Sense spread out again, and Shui Gen's group immediately felt it.
Before Shui Gen and the others could react, golden cuts suddenly appeared around them, followed by an incomparably ear-piercing sound of space ripping apart.
No matter how fast Shui Gen and his brothers conjured profound defenses, they were unable to resist the extremely lethal power.
Rippp—
"Argh!" Painful screams immediately resounded as the golden cuts tore the legs of Shui Gen and his brother. Blood crazily poured out of their wounds as they tried their best to suppress the bleeding.
The scene stunned Lei Yongzheng, Yu Qiao, Gu Wei, and Little Si.
It was understandable that the attacker could injure Shui Gen by taking him by surprise, but the earlier situation was different. Shui Gen and his brothers were fully prepared for the upcoming strike but still unable to resist it… What a power!
Swoosh!
At this moment, Yun Lintian appeared in the air with Linlin and Qingqing. He waved his hand to put the Golden Mountain away before looking down at Shui Gen.
"I'll give all of you two choices. Obediently serve me or die." Yun Lintian said calmly. His voice was like a heaven-edict, causing everyone to shudder.
Lei Yongzheng, Yu Qiao, and Gu Wei looked at Yun Lintian in astonishment as they could see his realm clearly. Yun Lintian actually jumped from the eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm to the first level of the Divine Foundation Realm in a span of ten days… What kind of monstrous progress was that?
At the same time, they were relieved inwardly. With Yun Lintian here, Shui Gen won't be able to do anything further.
"Just who are you?" Shui Gen looked at Yun Lintian in disbelief. He didn't understand why Yun Lintian possessed such frightening power.
Yun Lintian glanced at him and said. "I won't repeat it again. Choose."
"Cough!" Shui Gen was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Throughout his life, he had never been beaten into this state before. Usually, those words Yun Lintian said should belong to him. And now he faced it himself… What a joke.
"I-I am willing to surrender!" In the distance, Little Si hurriedly knelt down and said cowardly. Although he was far away from Yun Lintian, he didn't think he could escape after seeing the strength the latter displayed earlier.
"Bastard!" Shui Gen was furious when he saw this.
"You can't blame me, Boss… No, Shui Gen!" Little Si stuck his neck out. "You always make me risk myself every damn time!"
He turned to Yun Lintian and said. "Please kill him, Senior. He will definitely bite your back when the opportunity arises."
"You!… Cough!" Shui Gen coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood when he heard this.
Yun Lintian glanced at Little Si, and his Divine Sense immediately shot out.
Puff!
Little Si's heart tightened as he felt a fatal danger. However, before he could do anything, his entire body was already cut in half.
The scene became deathly silent, making the sound of Little Si's body falling onto the ground especially loud.
They had no idea how Yun Lintian made a move. It was as if he merely glanced at Little Si, and the latter died instantly.
Yun Lintian said calmly. "A coward like this has no use for me."
Shui Gen and the other five brothers shuddered. When they came to their senses, they hurriedly said in unison. "We are willing to serve you."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly and looked at Yu Qiao and Gu Wei. "What about you two?"
Hearing this, Yu Qiao and Gu Wei sighed inwardly. Do they have a choice here?
"We are willing to follow you." Yu Qiao said.
"Very good. I want all of you to open your soul gates." Yun Lintian said expressionlessly.
His words immediately made everyone's expression turn unsightly, as they knew what he was going to do next.
