Chapter 878: Chapter 898: Trembling in Fear Chapter 878: Chapter 898: Trembling in Fear The man in black said, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll send you to your death.”

“No no no!”

The youth hastily said, “Lin Yi is our Holy Domain student, how could I possibly not know!”

“Hmph, not knowing is not knowing.”

The man in black sneered coldly, then thrust his longsword fiercely through his heart–a “pfft” sound rang out as blood spurted, staining the sky red.

The other Holy Domain disciples trembled in fear, their faces deathly pale.

“Speak up, where is Lin Yi!”

Another figure in black shouted, his face twisted and terrifying, his eyes brimming with a denser killing intent.

“Lin Yi, Lin Yi is… is at our academy.”

The youth spoke with difficulty, then his body gradually grew cold and began to fall slowly.

The other Holy Domain disciples were hugely alarmed, one after another quickly kneeling and begging for mercy, saying, “Please, my lord, spare our lives, spare our lives! We truly don’t know the Young Hall Master’s whereabouts! We are willing to work for you, to help you find the Young Hall Master, please don’t kill us!”

“If you’re unwilling to tell, then don’t blame me for being heartless!”

There was a hint of fierce light in the man in black’s eyes as his longsword stabbed ruthlessly.

“Pfft!”

A Holy Domain disciple screamed miserably as his body exploded.

“Don’t kill us, we’ll talk, we’ll talk.”

The remaining few were so terrified they were pale as ghosts, looking as though they were about to cry.

One of the elders said, “The Young Hall Master is in a secret chamber behind the mountain of the academy, cultivating in seclusion. I will lead you there!”

The man in black’s face flickered with joy, and with a palm strike to the elder’s dantian, shattering it, he said, “Smart, get up and lead the way!”

“Yes, yes!”

The elder hurriedly got up and led the way.

In no time, the group arrived deep within the academy.

“Where is Lin Yi?!”

The man in black demanded.

The elder said, “The Young Hall Master is in seclusion in the secret chamber, and he will come out after about three hours. Please wait patiently, my lord.”

“Oh? Another three hours, eh?”

The man in black said, “Good, let this lord rest for three hours. After this lord has recovered his Yuan Force, we will go and capture that little brat.”

“Yes!”

The elder agreed repeatedly.

The man in black sat down cross-legged, healing while simultaneously observing his surroundings. Suddenly, he vanished from the spot with a flash and darted towards the secret chamber.

…

Lin Family Secret Chamber.

Lin Yi was lying on the bed, his face deathly white, with a sharp sword tip embedded in his chest. Fresh blood flowed copiously, staining the sheets red. He was on his last breath, unconscious.

“No, I must leave immediately, or else when that beast comes, I will have no chance to escape!”

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, propping himself up, and was about to get off the bed.

“Shushushu!”

Suddenly a group of Holy Domain elites appeared, blocking Lin Yi’s escape path.

“Hahaha, Lin Yi, your time to die has come, today is your death anniversary!”

The man in black laughed loudly, his figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Lin Yi.

“It’s you!”

Lin Yi’s complexion changed drastically, and his face became extremely ugly, saying, “To think a powerful being of the Holy Domain would stoop to such vile and despicable acts!”

“Hehe, who made you the Lin Family’s legitimate young master and offended our Young Master, so don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The man in black sneered coldly, “Lin Yi, accept your death graciously!”

After saying that, his hands formed seals, and a strange fluctuation emanated from his palms, condensing into a talisman paper, and slapped it towards Lin Yi’s heart.

“Ah!”

Lin Yi’s expression changed drastically, filled with shock and unease, he exhausted all his strength, urging the Yuan Force to resist.

“Boom!”

A massive energy backlash struck back, causing him to involuntarily spew out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Ah! I’m not willing to accept this! I’m not!”

Lin Yi let out a wretched scream.

“Bang!”

His chest completely exploded, turning into a spray of blood rain, scattering around, dead beyond resurrection.

The expressions of other Holy Domain fighters were extremely ugly, none daring to utter another word.

Although they knew that the man in black was bluffing, they didn’t dare to say anything.

After all, the opponent was a Holy Rank powerhouse, and even stronger than Lin Yi; they had no ability to retaliate whatsoever.

“You lot, guard this place for me, don’t let anyone disturb me!”

The man in black ordered, then transformed into a gust of wind heading towards the secret chamber, his speed swift as a gale.

His eyes flickered with a chilling murderous intent, with a thought, he took Lin Yi into the storage ring and sealed Lin Yi’s soul to prevent the little beast from escaping.

He had already decided to first destroy Lin Yi’s Dantian, making it impossible for him to cultivate ever again, then to cripple his physical body, making him live a life worse than death, before torturing him to death–to satisfy his hatred.

“Hu!”

The man in black entered the secret chamber and took a long breath of relief.

In this chamber, there stood a huge stele, and in its center was a palm-sized Jade Slip, emanating a pale golden glow.

The man in black’s eyes glittered as he stepped forward and reached out to take the Jade Slip.

Raising his arm slightly, a strand of his soul penetrated the Jade Slip, swiftly obtaining what he needed.

Recorded within this Jade Slip were Lin Yi’s memories.

Lin Yi was the Lin Family’s sole genius, and three months ago, an extraordinary artifact named “Demon War Body” appeared in the Lin Family.

This Demon War Body could absorb various elemental forces and use these elemental forces to enhance the body’s defense and Attack Power.

Lin Yi was one of the Lin Family’s most promising geniuses, heavily nurtured by the Lin Family in the hopes that he could break through to the Holy Rank one day!

However, the Demon War Body also had a significant flaw.

It was that those who cultivated the Demon War Body would turn into a crazy monster that only knew slaughter, indiscriminate in their killing, decisive and bloodthirsty.

Initially, it was because Lin Yi cultivated this Demon War Body that he caught the attention of a ferocious beast and almost lost his life, nearly perishing at the hands of the monster.

Not only was Lin Yi targeted by the beast, but he even suffered betrayal from his companions.

His master died saving him, consumed by that beast.

In the end, he killed that beast, but unfortunately, his master also fell!

And the flaw of the Demon War Body was that it only allowed for cultivation once!

Once past the time limit, one would turn just like that monster, ruthless in killing, devoid of humanity, endlessly slaughtering and evolving.

In Lin Yi’s memories, only the fact of his cultivation of the Demon War Body was recorded, as for what exactly happened during the process, he had no clue.

Having reviewed the memories, the man in black hooked up a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, whispering to himself, “Lin Yi, although this Demon War Body is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, the time is too short. Even if you complete the cultivation, you will fall into a mad state, unable to control your actions. When that time comes, your death will also arrive!”

With a flick of his hand, a shimmer flashed, and a black Longsword appeared in his hand.

“Kill!”

The man in black roared lowly, directly stabbing through Lin Yi’s chest with the sword, piercing his heart.

“Bang!”

“Thump!”

Blood splattered, the body fell to the ground.

The man in black took up Lin Yi’s corpse and said, “Let’s go!”

With that, he turned and walked towards the outside.

…

Elsewhere.

“Swish!”

A figure darted out from the secret chamber, it was Lin Yi.
