Lin Yun’s plan was a success. The Guan Family’s Martial Artists were completely stunned. Not a single one dared to step forward; they could only surround Lin Yun from a distance, too afraid to make the slightest move.

Looking past the crowd, Lin Yun’s gaze landed directly on Guan Renjie, and he shouted, "Guan Renjie, your dogs have lost their nerve. If you want my life, you’ll have to take it yourself."

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Guan Renjie clenched his fists tightly. He hadn’t expected that what should have been a simple matter would turn out like this, all because he had underestimated Lin Yun’s strength.

But now that things had come to this, there was no longer any room for reconciliation between him and Lin Yun. ’Today, Lin Yun must die.’

As the leader and the strongest person on his side, Guan Renjie had to accept Lin Yun’s challenge. If even he showed fear at this moment, the Guan Family guards would be even more afraid to attack.

"Fine! Today, I will personally see you to your grave!" With a loud cry, Guan Renjie strode toward Lin Yun step by step, and the Guan Family guards readily parted to let him pass.

Fear had taken root in their hearts, making Guan Renjie their only source of courage. If Guan Renjie could just crush Lin Yun, their terror would naturally dissipate.

Arriving in front of Lin Yun, the two stood five meters apart. Guan Renjie suddenly roared, "Take this! Flaming Fist!"

As he spoke, Guan Renjie threw a punch. A searing heat, like a Flame, radiated from his fist. This Flaming Fist was a Martial Skill belonging to his father, Guan Xing. With one punch, the Elemental Power in his body could burn his enemies like a blazing fire.

"Tiger Roar Fist." Seeing this, Lin Yun didn’t dodge at all. ’What I need to do now is show my absolute strength and crush Guan Renjie. As long as I take him down, the rest of them are nothing to worry about.’

A clear and resonant tiger’s roar echoed out. A faint phantom of a fierce tiger actually appeared over Lin Yun’s fist. As the phantom tiger emerged, Lin Yun unleashed all of his Elemental Power without reservation.

BANG! The two fists collided. A clash between the First Layer of Opening Realm and the Fourth Layer of Opening Realm should have been a foregone conclusion. However, since the one at the First Layer happened to be a freak like Lin Yun, the outcome was suddenly uncertain.

Both had used their full strength. The single blow blasted the ground around them, sending clouds of dust and debris into the air. The nearby Guan Family guards stood motionless, staring intently at the center of the dust cloud.

Finally, after a dozen breaths, the dust slowly began to settle. But the scene that followed left the Guan Family guards completely dumbfounded. ’What is happening?’

Guan Renjie, at the Fourth Layer of Opening Realm, had actually fought Lin Yun to a draw. Both had been forced back five full steps, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths. It was clear the collision had given them both internal injuries.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lin Yun looked at Guan Renjie and sneered, "Fourth Layer of Opening Realm? Haha! Guan Renjie, if we were at the same Realm, I could slaughter you like a dog."

Lin Yun’s words were incredibly arrogant, but Guan Renjie had no way to refute them. The facts were right in front of him: Lin Yun was only at the First Layer of Opening Realm, yet he could fight him to a standstill. If Lin Yun really broke through to the Fourth Layer of Opening Realm...

He knew this, of course, but he would never admit it. The expressions of the Guan Family guards had already turned bleak. ’If I can’t suppress Lin Yun now, I’m afraid he’ll be the one to turn the tables and kill us all.’

"Bring me my saber!" he roared at the men behind him. A guard quickly brought a large, silver saber and placed it in Guan Renjie’s hands.

With the saber in hand, Guan Renjie’s aura began to surge.

"An Earth Spirit Soldier," Lin Yun said, his eyes on the saber in Guan Renjie’s hand.

"Haha, that’s right! This saber’s name is Silver Wind, and today, I’ll use your head to christen it!" Guan Renjie laughed boisterously.

Now wielding an Earth Spirit Soldier, Guan Renjie was much stronger than before. Lin Yun knew very well the advantage an Earth Spirit Soldier gave a Martial Artist. ’But is he the only one with an Earth Spirit Soldier?’

"Good. In that case, my Overlord Spear will be taking your head today." With that, Lin Yun took the Overlord Spear from his back, ripped off the cloth wrapping its shaft, and revealed the ink-black weapon in its true form.

"An Earth Spirit Soldier... a Top Grade Earth Spirit Soldier..." With just one glance, Guan Renjie could tell that the Overlord Spear in Lin Yun’s hand was a true Top Grade Earth Spirit Soldier.

All Martial Artists knew that Weapons were divided into Mortal Soldiers, Earth Spirit Soldiers, Celestial Spirit Soldiers, and Treasure Soldiers. Beyond these tiers, depending on the skill of the craftsman and the quality of the materials, they were also classified as Ordinary, Perfect, or Top Grade.

For example, in the Earth Spirit Soldier tier, Guan Renjie’s saber was merely an Ordinary-grade weapon, while Lin Yun’s Overlord Spear was a Top Grade one. The difference between the two was immense.

"Guan Renjie, you’ve opposed me at every turn, and today you even tried to kill me. Since you showed no mercy, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Today is the day you die." Holding the Overlord Spear, Lin Yun’s demeanor became domineering. An overwhelming aura, radiating from his very bones, made everyone around him gasp.

As his words fell, Lin Yun flicked the tip of his spear, and the Overlord Spear instantly shot toward Guan Renjie. Seeing the attack, Guan Renjie reacted quickly, fiercely chopping down with his long saber. The two weapons instantly clashed.

Lin Yun didn’t know any formal Spear Technique. He could only rely on some self-taught, wild moves to fight Guan Renjie. Thrust, flick, chop... Lin Yun’s unorthodox style was aggressive, and though it lacked a formal structure, he was somehow managing to continuously push Guan Renjie back.

"Lin Yun, what the hell kind of Spear Technique is this? Do you even know how to use a spear?" Pinned down by Lin Yun, Guan Renjie was furious. ’I’ve actually studied a formal Saber Technique! It might not be perfect, but there’s no way it’s worse than Lin Yun’s wild style!’

Hearing Guan Renjie’s curses, Lin Yun thrust his spear forward and chuckled. "This is my Dog Beating Spear Technique. It’s specially designed for beating dogs."

’Dog Beating Spear Technique?’ Hearing this, Guan Renjie was puzzled. ’What’s the Dog Beating Spear Technique? Do the Lin Mansion’s Martial Arts include a technique like that?’

"Lin Yun, I’ll go all out! I refuse to believe my Saber Technique is worse than your Dog Beating Spear Technique!" Guan Renjie roared.

But once again, reality took a dramatic turn. Guan Renjie’s roar had barely faded when Lin Yun’s spear shot out again. He even announced with great conviction, "This move is called ’Spear Thrusts the Dog’s Leg’!"

As he spoke, the tip of Lin Yun’s spear accurately struck Guan Renjie’s calf. With his leg injured, Guan Renjie hastily retreated, but his speed was now significantly reduced.

"Trying to run? Take another one of my moves! ’Viciously Beat the Dog’s Head’!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Lin Yun, stop spouting bullshit! There’s no such thing as a Dog Beating Spear Technique!" Guan Renjie finally realized what was happening—there was no Dog Beating Spear Technique. It was all just something Lin Yun had made up to trick him. But by then, Lin Yun’s Overlord Spear had already smashed down hard on his head. With a single strike, Guan Renjie collapsed.
