WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 164: Seizing the Forced Hand

The array of mysterious symbols suddenly started spinning rapidly after Lin Dong's command. As it spun, an extremely powerful surge of Mental Energy suddenly spread out.

“Hu hua!”

As the array of symbols trembled, a powerful Mental Energy began to gather at its center. Furthermore, as Mental Energy frantically continued to accumulate, at the heart of that array of symbols, a strange flame suddenly appeared.

These flames looked like ordinary flames. However, in truth, this was actually not a fire, but, something made of Mental Energy, after reaching a certain level of compression.

This flame was only the size of a thumb. However, the raging Mental Energy vibrations emitted from it, even causing Lin Dong to be slightly startled. He had never expected that the entire Manifest Symbol Array was actually this powerful.

These waves were also detected by the incoming Song Dao. Immediately, surprise flashed in his eyes. However, it was no longer possible for him to back off. Hence, he could only hastily mobilize the Yuan Power in his dantian into the shining sword shadow in his hand, and try to use this to withstand the attack.

"Desire!"

Lin Dong's eyes coldly stared at Song Dao, before his fingers suddenly pierced forward. The object that looked like fire within the symbol array suddenly shook, with a 'dry' sound, it exploded!

"explosion!"

As the flame swept forward, the surrounding air suddenly shook, as an invisible air wave screeched, suppressing the surrounding air and producing a low sonic boom. The aura of this attack was extremely frightening.

Song Dao was also as shocked as Lin Dong's terrifying attack. Now he finally discovered that, what this young man possessed the most, was not Yuan Power, but rather Mental Energy attacks!

At this critical moment, there was already no way out. Song Dao is indeed the leader of this crazy villain. Immediately, a dark expression appeared in his eyes as the glowing blade in his hand suddenly brightened, before he desperately hacked down, furiously cutting down the small flame!

“Bang!”

When the glowing blade cut through the small flame, a loud explosion immediately resounded. However, that formidable-looking radiant blade was almost instantly destroyed by that flame. Meanwhile, without a drop in speed, the flame continued to dart towards Song Dao, while emitting raging waves!

When he saw the flame easily shatter his shining sword, Song Dao's limbs instantly started to turn cold. As he turned to look at the young man behind him, he realized that at this moment, the latter was still as calm as ever. There were no signs of pride or arrogance that he was able to push a perfect Yuan Dan practitioner to the brink of death.

"I've kicked the iron board ..."

At this moment, this thought flashed through Song Dao's mind. Nonetheless, this terrifying individual did not intend to give up, as his eyes emitted a mixture of madness and determination.

While madness gushed in his eyes, Song Dao opened his mouth, as Yuan Dan's egg-sized white pigeon suddenly flew out of his mouth.

"explosion!"

When his Yuan Dan appeared, it was as if a Yuan Power tornado had formed on the spot. Even in the midst of a terrifying battle, some people were forcefully drawn to look.

However, when these people saw that Song Dao had actually spat out his Yuan Dan, shocked expressions appeared on their faces. Especially the members of the Blade Slaughter Gang, who were even more shocked.

Everyone knew that Yuan Dan was the most important object for someone on the path of cultivation. This was the root of one's cultivation. Regardless of the severity of the wound on the surface, there is always a chance of it healing. However, if Yuan Dan someone was damaged, the possible side effect was that he would most likely become invalid altogether!

Therefore, unless it was really a life and death situation, no Yuan Dan stage practitioner would rashly call out his Yuan Dan…

For this reason, when they saw this scene unravel before their eyes, a huge wave immediately churned in their hearts. Especially Yue Shan, who felt his skull almost explode. He did not believe that just Lin Dong alone, would be able to force Song Dao, whose strength was on par with his, to such an extent!

"explosion!"

Under the gazes of the disbelieving crowd, Yuan Dan who was carrying the Yuan Power tornado immediately shouted. Quickly, it fell with a loud explosion against that little flame!

At the moment of impact, all the sounds of battle in this mountain valley seemed to have weakened. The sky seemed to be quiet. In the next moment, a shockwave like a volcanic eruption exploded!

“Bang!”

Lin Dong's figure was the first to be mesmerized by that terrifying shockwave. He collided violently into the large tree with a thud, clearly injured by this impact.

When he landed on the ground, Lin Dong's eyes turned to look at the center of the collision, only to see that there was a deep hole there a few meters in length at that spot. An expression of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Around the hole, some unlucky people groaned. Based on his appearance, they were clearly affected by the aftershocks.

“Bang!”

Lin Dong was ready, thus, the injuries he had sustained were not too severe. However, Song Dao was unfortunate, as he was the closest to the epicenter. Therefore, when the shockwave hit his body, his face instantly turned pale as he immediately vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood. Meanwhile, his body flew backwards, like a kite whose rope had been cut, before he landed horribly on the floor and spewed out a few mouthfuls of blood.

After enduring such punishment, Song Dao's body turned out to be severely injured. However, at this moment, he chose to endure the intense pain, as his palms hurriedly waved, and the dim-lit Yuan Dan burst out from the dust-filled air. After all, a practitioner was able to lose his limbs, and yet, he must not lose his Yuan Dan!

After that huge collision, despite successfully stopping Lin Dong's deadly attack, Yuan Dan became much fainter. Evidently, it had suffered some injuries as well. However, at this moment, Song Dao could not be bothered about this matter. First preserving his life now, is the most critical.

When his Yuan Dan was gripped, Song Dao's facial expression changed drastically, as he used every ounce of energy within him to help his Yuan Dan break free from the grasp of that shining shadow.

“Buzz buzz”

However, Song Dao who was now severely injured was clearly unable to recall it instantly. Especially when an object like a black hole appeared in his claws, and his Yuan Dan was instantly swallowed.

When his Yuan Dan was swallowed by that black hole, Song Dao's facial expression turned extremely miserable, as he violently vomited out many mouthfuls of fresh blood. At this moment, he had completely lost contact with his Yuan Dan!

With the loss of his Yuan Dan, an extremely weak sensation shot out from his body. His originally powerful and abundant energy quickly left his body. When he sensed this weakness, Song Dao knew that this time, he was done ...

"Leaving! Now go! Where's Song Que?”

The fear of death gripped Song Dao's heart, as he caught some experts from the nearby Blade Slaughter Gang, and shouted violently.

When they saw that the head of the Sword Slaughter Gang had been reduced to such, his followers were shocked.

"Song Que's brother has been killed by that woman ..." When he heard Song Dao's question, one of the Blade Slaughter Gang's members immediately frowned as he replied with fear.

"What?"

When he heard these words, the originally weak Song Dao nearly fainted. As he lifted his head, he saw a graceful woman dressed in white smiling sweetly in the air as she shot out a dozen cold lights. Every time these cold lights swept out, they would leave behind a pillar of blood.

"Gram!"

In another area, a fiery red beast was now maniacally hunting down every expert of the Blade Slaughter Gang. Every time the red shadow moved, another figure would be forcefully split apart.

This is truly a one-sided massacre!

After slaughtering who knew how many opponents, their Blade Slaughter Gang finally felt the same sensation.

"Go!"

Using his last bit of energy, Song Dao fled into the forest. He knew that this time, not only was he finished, but his entire Sword Slaughter Guild would be buried in this Sky Fire Mountain Range.

When they saw Song Dao escape, the rest of the Blade Slaughter Gang members lost all courage to fight back, as they quickly dispersed. As for the Blood Wolf Guild, right now, their hands were full ...

As he saw the Blade Slaughter Gang escape, Lin Dong furrowed his brows. Just as he was planning to hunt them down, a blurred glowing shadow suddenly appeared and leaped into his palm.

"No need to chase, that guy's done."

When he heard the little marten's voice, Lin Dong was stunned. Then, he suddenly realized that there was something else inside his hand. He tilted his head to look, and his pupils suddenly contracted when he realized that the one lying in his palm, was Yuan Dan the size of a pigeon egg!

“Yuan And Song Dao!”

When he saw this familiar Yuan Dan, Lin Dong immediately gasped deeply, before he quickly stored it into his Qiankun bag. With the loss of his Yuan Dan, Song Dao would probably not leave the Sky Fire Mountain Range alive.

"Not bad, you actually managed to beat that guy ..." An alluring figure flashed, as Lin Ke-er stood on top of that Crushed Ice Sword and slowly floated in front of Lin Dong. Contained within her beautiful blue eyes, there was a hint of surprise. He never expected that Lin Dong was actually able to defeat Song Dao ...

Of course, the only one who felt shocked and astonished was not himself. Xuansu, who was standing at the side, covered her mouth with lily-white hands. The astonishment on her beautiful face was completely hidden.

Alone, Lin Dong had defeated the perfect elite practitioner Yuan Dan!

Beside Xuansu, Xia Zhilan strangely looked at Lin Dong. He clearly remembered that almost half a year ago, Lin Dong was still being cornered by Wei Tong. However, right now, he could actually defeat the perfect Yuan Dan practitioner!

What kind of cultivation speed is this?

Only now did Xia Zhilan truly understand why Xuansu and Xia Wanjin valued Lin Dong so much. It turned out that this guy was just a monster!

With regards to their amazed gazes, Lin Dong chose to smile in response. He was clearly aware that if the little marten did not use any strange methods to steal Yuan Dan Song Dao, the latter would probably manage to retreat. As for his injuries, perhaps after a period of recovery, he would be able to fully recover.

However, now that person was done.

Lin Dong's palm gently felt the Qiankun bag up his sleeve. Then, his eyes turned to look at Yue Shan's extremely pale face, as he smiled and said.

"Stek leader Yue Shan, do you still want to kill me now?"
