Chapter 24: Crisis Lurking Within the Vast Expanse!

  Lin Yuan and the middle-aged man's battle didn't last long after all. Their realms were on different levels.

  Lin Yuan's three moves killed the Martial Artist of the Seventh Heaven Realm, if this were to be known by others, they would definitely be shocked. A 14-year-old youth actually killed a Martial Artist of the Seventh Heaven Realm, and his own strength was at the Eighth Heaven Realm, just one step away from reaching the peak of the Seventh Heaven. This! Can be said to be a miracle.

  Linyuan simply dealt with the middle-aged man's body. Although this was Linyuan's first time killing someone, he didn't feel scared or even tense.

  If you don't cheat others, others will come to cheat you.

  This is the way of the martial world, only with great strength, making people fear you, this is the king's way.

  Lin Yuan didn't plan to stay for long, as he still had half a month before he had to return. Moreover, thinking of Lin Zhi Ping and the Wang family's conspiracy, Lin Yuan couldn't possibly remain uninvolved.

  Besides, Lin Zhiping had been asking for trouble three or four times, and this time, the person who killed him was also teaching him a lesson.

  Of course, even if Lin Zhiping was clever again, he wouldn't think that he would kill the middle-aged man himself, but only thought that it was the strong behind him who helped him.

  On the one hand, it can make Lin Zhiping fear himself, and on the other hand, it can also drag out Lin Zhiping and Wang's conspiracy, which is also the best plan that Lin Yuan thought of at this time.

  This time after the ordeal is over, it's also the time for me and Lin Zhiping and Lin Yong to settle accounts.

  Moreover, Lin Yuan's battle with the middle-aged man this time also made him clearly aware of his own insufficient combat skills, and he needed to go and hone his combat skills.

  If it weren't for his own realm being one level higher than that of a middle-aged man, he might not have been able to kill him.

  The world of Bai Wu is not only inhabited by humans, but also by endless demons and beasts, which can be said to be alien beasts. These demons are so powerful that they can be compared to warriors in the Xiantian realm.

  Even in the books Lin Yuan had read, there were some powerful demonic beasts that could transform into human form and speak.

  This is a world dominated by humans and demon beasts.

  The types of yao beasts are numerous, and apart from humans, all refined creatures are classified as yao beasts.

  The demon beasts have a reproduction speed that surpasses that of humans, although they are uneven in quality, but whether it's the variety or quantity, they far exceed that of humans by who knows how many times. Moreover, they possess innate divine abilities and occupy an obvious advantage and upper hand in the entire Hundred Battles world.

  For countless years, the human and demon tribes have been embroiled in numerous wars, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

  This is also the outbreak of the beast tide.

  Every time a beast tide breaks out, it is unknown how many of humanity's strong will die. In the books Lin Yuan saw, the most recent beast tide occurred twenty years ago.

  It's said that even the strong ones who have reached the Innate Realm have fallen in large numbers.

  Monsters have meridians inside their bodies and cannot cultivate like humans, but they are born with demonic energy, so they mainly cultivate demonic energy. The single profession is to absorb the true energy of heaven and earth.

  According to the strength of their demonic energy, demons are divided into acquired and innate realms of existence, roughly corresponding to human levels of power.

  The day after tomorrow is Jiuchong Boundary and Xiantian Boundary. These are also the boundaries that Lin Yuan currently knows.

  Among them, the congenital boundary demon beasts have already possessed ordinary human wisdom.

  The entire Hundred Warriors World, the number of demons is numerous, and it's as many as the grains of sand in the Yellow River, scattered in every corner of the Hundred Warriors World. As for Zhao Guo, the place with the most demons is naturally the Desolate Wilderness Forest.

  The only time Lin Yuan had seen a demon beast was when he met the Qinghuo Snake at the waterfall, but that Qinghuo Snake was clearly a young snake, only in the third or fourth stage of its postnatal development. A mature Qinghuo Snake would generally be in the sixth or seventh stage of its postnatal development, and as the king of the Qinghuo Snakes, its strength would reach the peak of its postnatal development.

  In this world of martial arts, there are not only many countries, but also many sects within these countries. Some families even have powers comparable to those of the sects.

  Generally, human sects will dispatch disciples from the outer gate to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits as a trial for the sect, increasing the disciples' actual combat experience.

  This is also the difference between a general sect and a family. Relatively speaking, the strength of a sect is generally stronger than that of a family. This is why many families want their young disciples to join a sect.

  Generally, sects have not only powerful forces but also profound skills and even some sects have warriors who transcend the Xiantian boundary.

  But what specific realm it is, Lin Yuan was also unclear.

  As for the sect, Lin Yuan had also heard from the host that Mo Yuancheng's daughter, Mo Yanran, had entered the only sect within a thousand miles - Wu Zong.

  Specifically how powerful this Wu Zong is, Lin Yuan was not clear, and this Wu Zong would come to recruit disciples at the beginning of each year. This was also the aspiration of all the martial artists in Qian Xing Town. However, every year, Qing Yun Sect recruited no more than a handful of disciples in Qian Xing Town, and last year, they only recruited two people, namely Zhang Ming from the Zhang family and Mo Yanran, the daughter of Mo Zhenzhang.

  As for other aspects of Wu Zong, Lin Yuan was no longer clear, after all, Lin Yuan did not plan to join that sect at this time either.

  Primordial Forest

  After walking for a day, although they were delayed for a while along the way, Lin Yuan still finally arrived at the entrance of the Hong Huang Forest in the late afternoon.

  At this time, there is no one here, and ordinary warriors will not choose to come for training at the end of the year. After all, it's about to be New Year.

  Lin Yuan, dressed in a pale blue long gown, gazed at the vast expanse of the Hong Huang forest before him, carefully comparing it to the map in his hand.

  This map was also given by Lin Qingming, the master of the Lin family.

  The surrounding terrain is undulating and unpredictable, the entire Hongyuan Forest presents a majestic atmosphere, continuous and unbroken, shrouded by giant trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. The terrain inside is completely invisible, if not for the map, ordinary warriors would easily get lost in it.

  Some ordinary but absolutely ferocious beasts occasionally appear and disappear in the distant wilderness of the Flood Forest, with faint roars echoing through.

  Lin Yuan had already made sufficient preparations since he arrived at the Hongyuan Forest, with various clothes and dry rations prepared in abundance, which should be enough to sustain himself for a long time.

  The vast and endless forest of desolation.

  Step into it, and the ancient trees that have grown for hundreds or thousands of years are towering above, with various weeds all over the ground, and thorns growing in clusters. The withered fallen leaves cover the entire ground, and when stepped on, they naturally make a sound, surrounded by dense old vines and weeds.

  "This ancient forest, which has been unknown for how many years, is also dense with weeds and vines. I estimate that even if there's a monster hiding ten meters away, you can't see it." Lin Yuan had just stepped into it, and his heart was filled with a sense of foreboding.

  Looking ahead, although knowing there are dangers in it, the footsteps underfoot did not stop at all.

  Lin Yuan quietly made his way through the forest, carefully observing his surroundings as he gradually ventured deeper into the vast and mysterious forest.
