Lin Yuan's previous move didn't use his full strength. If he had used his full power, Zhang Wang might have been killed instantly. The battle between two powerful warriors in the ninth layer of the Nine Heavens was terrifying. In the end, Lin Yuan never intended to kill Zhang Wang, so naturally, he held back at the last moment.

  Lin Yuan's move, Breaking Heaven Sword Technique, didn't cause too much harm to Zhang Wang.

  Just as Zhang Wang's backhand was about to land, Lin Yuan's body moved again. The speed of his counterattack was almost too fast for Zhang Wang to see, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan appeared beside him.

  Zhang Wang was about to stand up and raise his hand to counterattack when a severe pain came, almost making him faint. A clear cracking sound came from his fist, and Lin Yuan's eyes showed a cold intent. His five fingers slightly retracted, and Zhang Wang's fist, which was held in his hand, suddenly changed shape like soft mud, with its bones crushed.

  Before Zhang could even make a sound, Lin Yuan took a step forward and violently kneed him in the abdomen, causing his overnight food to be knocked out of him. His entire body was lifted off the ground by the immense force, but Lin Yuan grasped his hand, preventing him from flying too high.

  "How dare you be arrogant in front of me!? Trash!" Lin Yuan's face was gloomy: "Those who don't know their own strength will have to pay the price, this is the price."

  Lin Yuan's cold voice spread throughout the scene, his tone extremely disdainful. At the same time, he opened his right hand and slapped it onto Zhang Wang's chest with a loud "thud". He secretly exerted his strength, causing a fierce shock, and a mournful cry echoed through the entire courtyard. The mournful sound made people's whole body feel cold.

  "Master Zhang!"

  The only two Ninth-Order cultivators on the scene, Chen Ming, let out a loud roar as he struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot and filled with resentment.

  "What's wrong, aren't you convinced? Then let's fight until you are." Lin Yuan's face remained calm.

  I didn't even wait for Chen Ming to speak.

  "Bang" Chen Ming's body was instantly knocked flying, the wound that had just begun to scab over split open once again, and fresh blood gushed out.

  "Ah" Chen Ming's mouth suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Lin Yuan's mouth slightly curled up, a cold smile floating on his face: "You reap what you sow! Today, I'll give you a warning," Lin Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but as soon as he did, the entire courtyard fell silent once again.

  Lin Yuan's icy voice devoid of any emotion sounded in Chen Ming's ear, and at the same time, he was frozen in place, his hand that had been about to attack Lin Yuan. Because Lin Yuan's other hand had somehow already grasped his throat.

  Looking at Chen Ming's eyes filled with resentment and fear, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. For a despicable person like you, I'm not worthy of killing you. Although I won't kill you, I also won't let you have an easy time."

  Lin Yuan said, holding Chen Ming up with one hand, his throat was pinched, Chen Ming struggled to say something but couldn't make a single sound. Of course, although he couldn't speak out loud, everyone understood that the unspoken words were Chen Ming's attempt to admit his mistake and save himself. But would Lin Yuan give him the opportunity?

  The South and North Institutes have been at odds for a long time, and the contradictions between them cannot be resolved. Moreover, this time it was still the disciples of the North Institute who came to Lin Yuan's courtyard to make trouble, and Lin Yuan would not let them off easily.

  The disciples of the Northern Courtyard next to him looked at Lin Yuan's movements, not even daring to take a deep breath, but the shocking and fearful scene hidden in the depths of their eyes still revealed their fear of Lin Yuan.

  In their minds, they instantly thought of a name, the first person among the outer door disciples, Lin Yuan was determined. Of course, what they thought of was only this generation's number one outer door disciple.

  Lin Yuan didn't make a sound at this moment, and without saying another word, he raised his hand to seal Chen Ming's chest, secretly mobilizing his energy to severely shake him.

  At that moment, a shrill and mournful cry echoed throughout the scene, even more chilling than Zhang's voice. It was a cry of extreme pain and despair. People saw Chen Ming's seven orifices start to ooze out blood, his eyeballs bulging red, his face twisted and hideous, with a face full of bright red bloodstains, making people feel horrified.

  Chen Ming's body was lifted into the air by Lin Yuan, his entire body convulsing continuously, and soon he fainted.

  Lin Yuan glanced at Chen Ming, then tossed it aside and turned to look at Zhang Wang. In the instant Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Wang, Zhang Wang's body shook slightly, his eyes filled with fear.

  Zhang forgot to know, Chen Ming was probably useless. Lin Yuan's method just now directly shook off one of Chen Ming's meridians. Unless a master helped repair it, otherwise Chen Ming's cultivation would be difficult to progress in this life, and there was even the possibility of regression.

  "Zhang Wang, this time I'll let you off, but next time don't get manipulated by someone again." Lin Yuan said, looking at Zhang Wang who was lying on the ground. Obviously, the "someone" Lin Yuan mentioned was Chen Ming.

  "What? Still not leaving, are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?" Lin Yuan looked at the crowd, his eyes scanned them, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back.

  Zhang Wang stood in the arena, not saying a word, his eyes seemingly still dull and slow to react, his expression as if he had yet to recover from the terrifying aura of Lin Yuan just now. In his entire gaze, one could clearly see the fear that flowed out of his eyes.

  The other Northern Courtyard disciples who were lying on the ground, upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, even felt a bit of excitement in their hearts, and finally they could leave this place. They quickly got up, swaying unsteadily as they helped Zhang Wang and Chen Ming, who was still dazed, to their feet.

  "Oh, right, and you Northern Institute aren't arrogant, are you? Three days later, in the Wuzong Martial Arts Arena, my Southern Institute disciple Lin Yuan will set up a challenge for three days, with ten matches each day. Welcome, Northern Institute disciples, to come and challenge us. I hope you can tell your other Northern Institute disciples about it."

  Watching them leave, Lin Yuan's mouth curled up in a cold smile: "You're not thinking of challenging me? Then come on, I, Lin Yuan, will not refuse anyone who comes."

  …………

  The Northern Courtyard was in an instant uproar as Zhang and Chen returned. Once everyone understood what had happened, the entire Northern Courtyard erupted into chaos.

  The North Court Conference Hall, the entire North Court, all the outer gate elders gathered together, except for the master of the North Court, Sun Tianyou, who did not come, everyone else was present.

  "Trash, all of them are trash, useless things, actually went to the South Court, and even got seriously injured back, and even had their meridians broken." The entire conference hall was filled with angry voices.

  "This matter must be reported to the sect master. For no reason, the meridian of the younger brother of Wu Zong was abolished. This matter cannot be tolerated." An old man next to the elder said.

  "Elder Meng, this won't do. After all, it's our Northern Courtyard disciples going to find their Southern Courtyard counterparts, and within the Southern Courtyard at that. This matter is absolutely a handle for them to use against us, we won't gain anything good from it." The elder opposite him also spoke up, clearly knowing some of the situation.

  "What Elder Wang said is not unreasonable. After all, this matter was first provoked by the Northern Court, and we have nothing to say about it. The master of the Southern Court, Song Changqing, will definitely bring up this topic at this time."

  "Hmph, let's not talk about this matter for now. A small outer door disciple from the South Institute comes in and is so arrogant, setting up a challenge for three days to challenge our North Institute disciples. This is simply overestimating oneself." The oldest elder in the entire conference hall said with a gloomy face: "Let's see how he responds to our North Institute disciples. I'd like to see how a new disciple dares to be so arrogant, it seems that the South Institute has nothing better to do than send an outer door disciple to provoke us."

  "Alright, this matter will be settled in three days. For now, let the outer sect disciples challenge each other. Also, call out your own disciples as well! Don't always keep them in seclusion, they need to gain experience when necessary." The old man said once again.

  The people below also instantly understood the meaning of this matter, and unexpectedly, the Great Elder of the Northern Courtyard attached such importance to it. The elders below didn't say anything, they just responded with a sound, then left one after another.
