"This—"

"How... how could this happen?"

Outside the arena, the crowd was stunned.

These sudden changes were too great for them to accept all at once.

"An Firestone is dead... Such a powerful An Firestone is actually dead..."

"This Lin Yun... is too formidable..."

"I never would have imagined..."

Many people gasped in shock.

"The God Devouring Knife, the Devil Sound Bell, and then there's the Bloodthirsty Sword..."

Some people eyed the three powerful treasures on the stage, their eyes ablaze with fervor.

All three treasures were coveted by many, including all the Super Warriors. As a result, all three were now on the stage—two in Lin Yun's hands and one beside him.

"Ding~~~"

Just then, as they watched, Lin Yun moved, once again grabbed the Devil Sound Bell floating in the air, and its sound rang out.

At this point, Lin Yun had three treasures on his person: the Bloodthirsty Sword, the God Devouring Knife, and the Devil Sound Bell.

"Buzz—"

With a death having occurred and the victor decided, the protective barrier at the edge of the arena automatically retracted.

"Master Lin!"

"Master Lin, are you alright?"

The Black Dragon King and Lord of All flashed over, asking anxiously.

"Brother!"

"Yun!"

"Brother Lin!"

Xia Qingqing and Xiao Chong's party rushed over, exclaiming excitedly.

Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng clutched Lin Yun's arms, inspecting him up and down. Xia Qingqing asked with concern, "Brother, your arm, how is it..."

They had just seen Lin Yun's arm get severed by An Firestone.

"It's nothing. Cultivators at our level have strong life forces—don't you know that? Besides, I also have the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword to aid in recovery, which greatly enhances my ability to heal. A wound like this has nearly healed already." Lin Yun said with a light smile.

The Bloodthirsty Sword had an incredibly heaven-defying ability to heal wounds, especially with ample energy. The enhancement was multiple times stronger; he had understated the extent intentionally, fearing that speaking of its full potential would make it even more coveted.

Already, many were coveting the Bloodthirsty Sword. If people knew that its power was many times stronger, who knows to what extent they would go mad.

"Lin Yun! It was just a match, and yet you killed An Firestone from my family. Your attack was too ruthless! Could it be that after obtaining the demonic Bloodthirsty Sword, you have become demonized?"

Just then, a figure flashed close to Lin Yun and his group, shouting angrily.

Lin Yun looked up.

The speaker was none other than Feiying Firestone, whom he had previously fought, staring at Lin Yun with a face flushed red and a body slightly trembling.

Honestly, Lin Yun's performance just now had shocked him.

Now, Lin Yun not only possessed the Bloodthirsty Sword but also the God Devouring Knife and the Devil Sound Bell, his family's two revered treasures. He knew all too well the power of these two sacred family relics.

At this moment, Lin Yun, with three treasures in his possession, was likely more than a match for even third-tier Super Warriors, let alone Feiying Firestone, who only had the strength of an ordinary Super Warrior. The gap in their strength was as wide as heaven and earth.

He was well aware of this fact.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to provoke the current Lin Yun.

But just a moment ago, the most powerful ancestor of their clan, Meteor Ancestor, sent him a telepathic message, ordering him to take back the two treasures essential to their family's legacy from Lin Yun.

With an order from Meteor Ancestor, he had to comply.

Therefore, although he feared Lin Yun, he had no choice but to stand up and speak.

"Hmm?"

"Is this Feiying Firestone an idiot? Their clan, even the powerful An Firestone was killed by Lin Yun, and now Lin Yun has obtained two more treasures, becoming even stronger. If Lin Yun wanted to kill him, it probably wouldn't take more than two moves, and yet he dares to provoke Lin Yun?"

"He even dares to say Lin Yun has turned into a demon…"

While many people coveted the three divine treasures in Lin Yun's hands, most of them were well aware of their own limits. Knowing it was futile to even think about it, they looked at Feiying Firestone, who had stepped forward to provoke Lin Yun, with expressions as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Is there a rule in the competition that forbids one from killing their opponent?" Lin Yun asked Feiying Firestone coldly.

"You…"

Feiying Firestone was at a loss for words.

Originally, he thought Lin Yun would say he didn't intentionally kill An Firestone and such, but he didn't expect Lin Yun to flatly admit it, rendering many of the words he had prepared useless.

"The purpose of the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition is to select talents across the universe. The talent of our clan's An Firestone belongs to the pinnacle of the universe, how can he be subjected to ordinary rules…" Feiying Firestone took a deep breath and said.

"Since there are no rules against killing opponents, why are you wasting your breath here? The higher the level of combat, the more it is a matter of life and death. If I don't kill him, he will kill me. He didn't concede, so he must be prepared to perish. It's absurd that you, being a top talent, do not understand this.

If you are dissatisfied, we can settle it with a fight!" Lin Yun interrupted Feiying Firestone, his voice cold.

Toward the end, his killing intent was clear and piercing.

When he noticed there was a problem with the formation on the stage, he saw a hint of mockery in An Firestone's eyes.

Furthermore, it was just a preliminary match, yet An Firestone, who was not weak, had resorted to using two treasures that were the cornerstone of their clan.

He was almost certain that this was all a conspiracy.

Consequently, his impression of the entire Firestone Family was extremely poor.

Whoever dared to scheme against him had to be prepared to fall.

An Firestone deserved his death.

If Feiying Firestone was not convinced and wanted to fight on stage, Lin Yun was not opposed to killing one more person.

"You…" Feiying Firestone was truly infuriated by Lin Yun.

He hadn't expected Lin Yun to be so disregarding of his image and to speak such words in public.

These words were truly hard for him to accept.

However, he was oblivious to the fact that his own words had just offended everyone present.

"What do you mean 'An Firestone's talent is so remarkable that it stands at the apex of the entire universe and should not be treated by ordinary rules'? Is An Firestone's life a life, while ours are not? We can all die, but he can't?"

"Exactly, Lin Yun is right. In the highest level of battles, it's all about life and death in an instant. To be ignorant of such a basic fact is a disgrace to the title of genius. In the fight just now, An Firestone showed no mercy to Lin Yun; if he didn't kill him, should he have waited for him to recover and counterattack?"

"Lin is domineering, kill if there's a need to kill; if there's dissatisfaction, then fight. Stop whining here!"

Some people mocked and jeered.

Listening to the multitude's comments below the stage, Feiying Firestone's expression grew even uglier.

"Feiying Firestone, we understand that the fall of An Firestone has upset you, but the stage is merciless. We hope you can understand that…"

"That's right, you must have seen the fight just now. If Lin Yun hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been the one to fall…"

At this moment, Black Dragon King and Lord of All stepped forward and spoke to Feiying Firestone.

Their tone was very cordial.

Given Feiying Firestone's own strength and his belonging to a very powerful family, they didn't dare offend him too severely.
