Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Until Shen Lin swung his blade, neither Lin Youwei nor Daoist Xiangyang noticed anything unusual.

This was because, before even entering Xiangyang Taoist Temple, he had already transferred all the spiritual energy within his body into his thirteenth meridian.

As a result, to outside observers, Shen Lin didn't exhibit even a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation; he was simply a martial artist who hadn't reached the Xiantian realm.

This also aligned with Lin Youwei's prior impression of Shen Lin: a young man who had only recently reached the Kaipai realm.

Therefore, neither Daoist Xiangyang nor Lin Youwei had paid Shen Lin any attention previously.

After all, even if Lin Youwei wasn't particularly skilled in combat, his Xiantian realm cultivation was more than enough to crush Shen Lin.

Daoist Xiangyang, even more assured, had turned his back to begin packing things up.

At that moment, as Lin Youwei's head flew into the air, Daoist Xiangyang felt a bone-chilling coldness.

The suddenly erupting aura was completely unlike that of the Kaipai realm... no, even Xiantian realm spiritual energy wouldn't be this formidable.

Quickly turning around, he looked at Shen Lin with extreme vigilance, sensing an indescribable sense of crisis from the purple qi emanating from him.

This guy...

He's actually in the Baoye realm!

But how could this be possible?

Didn't Lin Youwei say that he had only recently broken through to the Kaipai realm?

How could his current, powerful spiritual energy fluctuations even surpass his own?

"You've been hiding your cultivation the entire time????"

Daoist Xiangyang came to a conclusion, his face darkening as he said, "What exactly is your background? A Jingyao Marquis from the Demon Suppression Division? Or a disciple of some great aristocratic family undergoing training?"

Even if Shen Lin had been concealing his cultivation all along, and Lin Youwei had been deceived, Shen Lin's age couldn't be faked.

To reach the Baoye realm at such a young age...

Aside from the disciples meticulously nurtured by the top families of the Great Wei Dynasty, the only other possibility was a Jingyao Marquis from the Demon Suppression Division.

The Demon Suppression Divisions across the Great Wei Dynasty, with the resources and training provided by the imperial court, were filled with countless experts.

Those who could enter the Demon Suppression Division were already the cream of the crop, but even among these elites, there was an even more exceptional existence.

The Jingyao Marquis!

"Jing" meaning to pacify and stabilize.

The duty of ordinary Demon Suppression Division members was, at most, to guard a territory and prevent demon incursions into human cities.

But these Jingyao Marquises didn't need to obey the unified command of the Demon Suppression Division; they could act independently.

They were like sharp swords, skilled at taking the initiative, seeking out demons, infiltrating their ranks, and slaying them.

To accomplish all of this, strength, intelligence, and temperament were all essential.

Shen Lin's current performance suddenly reminded Daoist Xiangyang of this group.

If Shen Lin was truly a Jingyao Marquis from the Demon Suppression Division...

Then this time, he might have to pay a considerable price.

Seeing his nervous expression, Shen Lin smiled, his long blade pointing diagonally at Lin Youwei's corpse, and said, "Originally, I only came for this guy, but I didn't expect to encounter such a pleasant surprise like you."

Killing Lin Youwei was because he was a demon; first, he could acquire demon lifespan, and second, he could use the other's head to enter the Demon Suppression Division.

The Daoist Xiangyang before him, in fact, was not initially within Shen Lin's plans.

But after all...

He had already come.

A Baoye realm demon cultivator should be worth a lot of contribution points with Gao Shenghan.

Daoist Xiangyang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Reaching the Baoye realm at such a young age does give you the right to be arrogant, but choosing me as your opponent, especially here in Xiangyang Taoist Temple, is your oversight!"

As his words fell, his loose Taoist robe rustled, and a gloomy, cold spiritual force emanated from his body, spreading in all directions.

The young Taoist disciple at the door was the first to receive the order and immediately rushed in.

The cold spiritual energy swept through the Taoist temple, the ground cracked, and withered arms stretched out from the earth.

The statue in the front hall, enjoying the incense offerings of the people, cracked with a "ka-cha" sound, and corpse puppets of various shapes and sizes crawled out from within.

Even the locust tree in the courtyard trembled violently at this moment, actually uprooting itself, growing two pairs of messy, root-like legs, and lumbering towards the back hall.

At that very moment, in a brothel in Qiulin County, Gao Shenghan, who was embracing a beauty on each side, drinking fine wine, and enjoying the singing and dancing, instantly lost the drunken look in his eyes.

He turned his head, looked outside, and shook his head helplessly, muttering, "I didn't expect this stinky lizard to actually have a Baoye realm guardian. I originally thought I could let that kid do all the work, but now it seems I have to take action..."

Hugging the two beauties, giving them each a hard kiss, Gao Shenghan got up without the slightest hesitation and walked directly to the window.

"Master Gao, please be careful, this building is high, don't fall..."

Faced with the beauty's reminder, Gao Shenghan only smiled, left a sentence, and jumped out.

"Keep the wine warm for me, I'll be back to continue after I'm done!"

He leaped up, jumping over the rooftops, his speed extremely fast, but his footsteps were very light, without making any loud noises.

After reaching the city wall, he squatted down, squinted, and assessed the distance to Xiangyang Mountain, muttering, "This distance... should be about right!"

In the next moment, with a loud boom, a section of the city wall was directly crushed by him.

Using this force, his entire body shot into the sky, like a bird soaring into the heights.

After reaching the sky, whenever his body was about to fall, a ball of crimson light would condense under his feet, and with a sudden stomp, his body would fly out again.

In less than half an hour, he could already see the indistinct outline of Xiangyang Taoist Temple with the naked eye.

"Hmm?"

But just as he was about to descend, he suddenly seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at the distant night sky, and frowned slightly.

His eyes darted around, the spiritual energy under his feet instantly dissipated, and his entire body fell lightly, hiding in the dense forest.

About ten breaths later, several black shadows flew in from the distance.

They were five bird demons, although of different species, each one was huge, with a wingspan of three or four meters.

"Just a Xiantian realm spy, why did they have to send our entire team out? And so urgently, traveling overnight."

During the flight, a bird demon resembling an owl muttered with some dissatisfaction.

The leader, a black hawk, heard this and said in a deep voice, "Originally, it wouldn't have been necessary, but this guy has a good son, with excellent talent, who was recently accepted as a disciple by the Crocodile Dragon Clan leader. The father is honored by his son, and his status and treatment will definitely be different from before... Be careful!!!"

Halfway through his words, the black shadow suddenly noticed a ball of crimson light rushing up from the dense forest below and quickly warned.

But it was still a little late.

Gao Shenghan laughed and rushed into their midst, his body spinning, and countless fireballs were thrown from his hands.

In an instant, a dazzling firework display appeared in the night sky above Xiangyang Mountain.
