Chapter 850: Somewhat Hard to Believe
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Caught him."
"Oh?" When the elder from the Murong family heard this, he was slightly stunned.
He had originally thought Lin Yi would use some method to capture Li Chen, but he had not expected Lin Yi to do so with such ease, which made it somewhat unbelievable to him.
Not only that elder but also the other elders had looks of surprise on their faces, obviously not expecting Lin Yi to have actually brought back Lin Yi. After all, just a moment ago, Lin Yi had been chased to the point of having no way to heaven and no door into the earth!
Moreover, Lin Yi had fled into the Nine Cauldrons Sect because he was being pursued, but where did this youth named Li Chen come from? Could it be that he had also joined the Nine Cauldrons Sect?
These thoughts inevitably arose in the hearts of the elders.
The elder from the Murong family looked at Lin Yi with a somewhat strange expression.
"Lin Yi, didn't you say he was on his way back?" the elder from the Murong family couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yi smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "That Li Chen has already died under my sword."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, the elders from the Murong family all widened their eyes.
Lin Yi had actually slain Li Chen? And Lin Yi was a Sword Cultivator?
They found this hard to accept, after all, Li Chen was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
The Foundation Establishment Li Chen had actually been slaughtered by Lin Yi?
"Correct, he died under my sword," Lin Yi said with a light smile, continuing, "I've already informed the seniors from the Murong family to come and execute that beast Li Chen."
"What?" The elder from the Murong family's face darkened instantly upon hearing this.
"Damn it!"
"Lin Yi, you really have some nerve, actually killing Li Chen!"
"Lin Yi, are you not afraid of death? How dare you defy the Sect Leader's orders?"
The elders from the Murong family were furious, all aware of how important Li Chen's existence was to their Nine Cauldrons Sect.
Therefore, once this news got out, it was bound to cause a huge shock.
And the Sect Leader of the Murong family would be even more infuriated.
The elders from the Murong family, one by one, had extremely ferocious expressions.
"I've already informed them, no matter what, today we must capture Li Chen alive at all costs!" Lin Yi's voice also became icy cold.
The people from the Murong family nodded one after another upon hearing this.
"Right, since you dare to kill Li Chen, then we'll first behead you, the traitor!"
"Yes, behead you, the traitor, and then capture that beast Li Chen!"
"Lin Yi, today we shall purge the Murong family of a traitor!"
The elders gnashed their teeth, their faces very fierce, as if they wished they could tear Lin Yi apart right now and then capture that kid Li Chen to hand over to the Sect Leader for judgment.
Lin Yi, upon hearing this, only traced a mocking smile around his lips.
"Lin Yi, let me tell you, today you must die here. Our Murong family will never allow anyone to defy the Sect Leader," an elder said to Lin Yi with a cold snort.
"Lin Yi, you are nothing but an ant, daring to defy the Sect Leader's will? Today, even if so many of us join hands, we will definitely be able to kill you!" another elder said coldly.
Lin Yi watched their ferocious expressions without saying a word.
"Lin Yi, you are undoubtedly going to die today," an elder from the Murong family declared.
"Hahaha... Lin Yi, so you too have moments of fear?"
The elders, seeing Lin Yi like this, all began to laugh uproariously, as if they saw a comical scene before them, feeling extremely pleased.
Lin Yi looked at those mocking elders, his face still sporting a smile, as if he hadn't heard a word.
Seeing Lin Yi in this state, the elders couldn't help but show a trace of confusion on their faces.
Shouldn't be, though. Li Chen as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while one realm lower than Lin Yi, shouldn't be this afraid?
And it was at that moment, abruptly, Lin Yi moved.
His Blood Sword in hand suddenly swept through the air, unleashing a terrifying burst of Sword Qi that attacked the Murong family's elders.
Lin Yi's sword was drawn quickly and with fierce momentum, targeting one elder in particular.
That elder, seeing Lin Yi lash out so suddenly, was shocked.
"You little beast, you dare to attack me?" the elder bellowed, his palm flipping to condense a long spear instantly, thrusting it towards Lin Yi.
"Clang!"
Lin Yi's longsword struck hard against the spear, emitting a crisp sound of metal clashing, and a powerful force exploded from the spear.
The elder was forced to retreat several steps, and disbelief flickered in his eyes.
At this time, the Murong family's disciples also reacted, grabbing their weapons and charging towards Lin Yi.
Seeing the oncoming crowd, Lin Yi's gaze gradually turned icy.
"Court death!" Lin Yi's gaze swept around, eventually fixing on the elder.
"All of you, must die!"
Lin Yi's voice was chilling, as if it were a cold breath from the underworld of Jiuyou.
Hearing this, a chill surged through the heart of the Murong family's elder, causing his body to tremble and his internal Spiritual Power to roil violently.
"Such a terrifying killing intent," thought the Murong family elder to himself.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, all of the Murong family's people felt their hearts skip a beat.
"So arrogant, is this a provocation against our Murong family?" one elder showed a look of disdain, staring at Lin Yi and bellowed.
"Lin Yi, don't you forget you're a traitor, a betrayer of the sect, deserving of death."
"Now, you have been wanted by the sect master, do you think you can still leave?"
"Lin Yi, I advise you to surrender immediately, or what awaits you will be death, and it will be an irreversible one!"
The elders of the Murong family each spoke up.
Hearing these words, Lin Yi's gaze grew colder.
He indeed was a traitor.
But he had never thought of giving up.
"You all deserve to die!"
Lin Yi's form suddenly turned into a blur, darting towards the group of Murong family's elders.
Seeing this, the elders' expressions changed abruptly, quickly raising their spears to attack Lin Yi.
And the disciples of the Murong family also lifted their Magical Treasures, attacking Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, I want to see just how powerful your swordsmanship really is," an elder holding a spear roared and thrust it towards Lin Yi's body.
"Clang!"
Lin Yi's Blood Sword collided with the spear, generating a piercing clashing sound.
"Huh? What's going on?" The elder's brow furrowed slightly, feeling a tingling in his arm. The power emanating from the Blood Sword startled him.
"Lin Yi, your swordsmanship has reached such a level? You're only at the realm of Foundation Establishment!"
"Do you actually possess such profound swordsmanship?"
