Just as the swirling vortex of water was bearing down, the members of the mercenary group also took a sharp intake of breath for Li Lin, wondering if this young man could really hold his ground against a seventh-level Martial General.

  "Chi!" At this moment, Li Lin made his move, a faint yellow light diffusing around him in an instant, and to the surprise of many, his body was soon enveloped in thick scale armor.

  "Phantom Spirit Imprint."

  In that instant, a cold fierceness shot from Li Lin's eyes, a low shout echoed in his heart, followed by a sudden spread of eerie light from his eyes, enveloping the surrounding air with an invisible, strange power.

  This eerie force seemed to spread through the air, passing through the raging water vortex, and suddenly enveloping the seventh-level Martial General of the Ghost Martial Sect.

  In the next moment, the Martial General's gaze trembled, a strange power instantly infiltrated his mind, leaving his gaze dull.

  At this moment, the terrifying water attribute attack also paused for an instant, its fierce and violent aura fading away immediately.

  "Seventh-level Martial General, die." As Li Lin's spirit martial skills synergized perfectly, his hand seals were swiftly formed, followed by a powerful slap. "Frost Seal!"

  A low shout filled with killing intent echoed through the space, and in an instant, a massive energy handprint, hundreds of meters in size, suddenly appeared. As this energy handprint materialized, the temperature around it plummeted, a violent frost aura spreading, freezing the surging spatial ripples in place. The cold air ravaged the space, spreading like waves rapidly throughout.

  At this moment, in the astonished gazes of countless people, a blue-white palm imprint in Li Lin's hand brought forth an absolute coldness and energy fluctuation, slamming fiercely into the seventh-level Martial General of the Ghost Martial Sect.

  "It's a Xuan-level initial stage martial skill, the Sect Master is a tri-element martial artist." In this instant, both Ouyang Lengji and Jiang Yuan's expressions drastically changed. In the past two days, they had been surprised by the Sect Master's display of wind and earth attributes, but now, seeing this water attribute, they were completely unsettled.

  "Crack crack…"

  As the Frost Seal was launched, instead of any sound of explosion, the space where the palm passed froze in a very eerie manner.

  At this moment, the vortex attack formed by the seventh-level Martial General was instantly frozen into ice at an absolute speed, freezing the entire space with a coldness that filled the air. Even the river's edge a kilometer away turned into thick ice under this coldness, stopping the water flow. A series of tangible blue energy lights crazily surged, distorting the space with the terrifying energy turmoil.

  The bone-chilling coldness spread from everyone's pores, and with Li Lin's current fourth-level Martial General strength, using the Frost Seal, its power was many times stronger.

  "This is bad." At this moment, even the eighth-level Martial General of the Ghost Martial Sect felt a chill in his heart.

  But at this moment, before the seventh-level Martial General could react, the entire space was completely frozen, his body and the water attribute around him turning into thick ice, encasing him.

  "Die, explode." Li Lin remotely clenched his five fingers, launching a handprint.

  "Boom!"

  Suddenly, the space exploded, bursting forth with thunderous noises, tearing the air open, thick ice blocks flying, filling the space with cold air, as if the entire space was enveloped in a thick layer of frost.

  Under this power, everyone around had no choice but to retreat.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  The space was instantly compressed and twisted together under this violent force, filling with a destructive power that made even Ouyang Lengji and Jiang Yuan's faces twitch.

  When the shattered ice dissipated in the space, everyone stared in horror. The body of the seventh-level Martial General stood still, his gaze frozen as if petrified.

  "Crack crack!"

  Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the body of the seventh-level Martial General cracked like shattered glass, then exploded into pieces, his blood also frozen into ice.

  With just one move, a seventh-level Martial General was killed, a once arrogant Martial General lost his life in an instant. This horrifying scene sent chills down the spines of most onlookers.

  Killing a seventh-level Martial General with just one move required immense strength. At this moment, the hundreds of members of the mercenary group were all dumbfounded. Who could have imagined that this young man's strength was so terrifying?

  On the back of a Sky Wing Snow Lion, four Spirit Masters and a Spirit Soul also took a sharp breath. The Sect Master of the Flying Spirit Gate not only possessed a group of terrifying monsters but also such formidable strength.

  Ouyang Lengji and Jiang Yuan looked at each other again, no longer underestimating the Sect Master. With such age and strength as a tri-element martial artist, it's no wonder that the Ghost Fairy and Soul Summoning Poison Duke joined the Flying Spirit Gate. This Sect Master was not an ordinary young man.

  "Li Lin, how daring of you to kill an elder of my Ghost Martial Sect. We will not let this go," the eighth-level Martial General of the Ghost Martial Sect began to panic, realizing Li Lin's strength exceeded his imagination.

  "Ouyang Sect Leader, this eighth-level Martial General is yours," Li Lin's voice reached Ouyang Lengji.

  "Yes, Sect Master." As Ouyang Lengji's voice fell, the space around him seemed to twist, and his figure vanished instantly, appearing in front of the eighth-level Martial General like lightning, exuding an aura only possessed by a Martial Marshal.

  "He's a Martial Marshal." The eighth-level Martial General's face changed dramatically, having sensed the man's extraordinariness but not expecting him to be a Martial Marshal. A chill spread through his heart, and without hesitation, he set up a protective barrier and fled. Facing a Martial Marshal, he knew he stood no chance.

  "Die." Ouyang Lengji didn't hesitate. As the eighth-level Martial General burst into the sky, just as he started to move, Ouyang Lengji's eyes turned cold, his hands launching several green streaks of light like lightning.

  These green streaks of light cut through the space, whistling like lightning across the sky, piercing through with an unrivaled sharpness, spreading a strange force, sending chills through everyone's hearts.

  Visibly, the space in front of these green streaks twisted, then accurately and fiercely hit the eighth-level Martial General's protective barrier.

  "Shoo shoo…"

  The green streaks of light eerily landed on the protective barrier, which then instantly cracked and shattered.

  As the green streaks penetrated the eighth-level Martial General's body, a powerful force burst forth.

  "Shoo shoo!"

  With sounds like metal snapping, the eighth-level Martial General was sent flying back, spewing a mist of blood, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground as he trembled, blood trickling down, his pupils dilating before he fell to the ground with his blood.

  "Shoo shoo…" In a flash, the green streaks of light returned to Ouyang Lengji's hands, killing an eighth-level Martial General without any emotion in his eyes, only an increasingly cold aura surrounding him.

  "He's a Martial Marshal." A few Martial Generals from the mercenary group were dumbstruck, and the rest of the people couldn't help but swallow hard, their gazes filled with fear as they glanced at Li Lin and Ouyang Lengji. The strength of these two was too formidable.

  "Everyone, run!"

  The remaining members of the Ghost Martial Sect exchanged glances, then, as if by mutual agreement, chose to flee. Facing the strength just displayed by Li Lin and Ouyang Lengji, they knew they stood no chance and fleeing was their only option.

  "Sect Master, leave the rest to me," Ouyang Lengji said coolly, looking indifferently at the rapidly escaping members of the Ghost Martial Sect, his gaze spreading a cold intent.

  "Leave that fifth-level Martial General to me," Li Lin said lightly.

  "Shoo shoo shoo…"

  In an instant, Ouyang Lengji's hands were enveloped in a spreading green glow. This green light emerged and spread, quickly covering a vast area with an absolutely terrifying speed. A series of whistling sounds echoed again as he launched a flurry of green streaks of light.

  The eerie green light split into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dozens of streaks of light. The sharp whistling sound resonated, and in the dumbfounded gazes of all, these dozens of green streaks of light struck all the fleeing disciples of the Ghost Martial Sect like lightning in a no-man's land.

  "Boom boom…"

  A series of muffled explosion sounds echoed, and the dozens of Ghost Martial Sect disciples, from the weakest to the strongest, including those with Martial Soul cultivation, suddenly exploded in a bizarre manner, a burst of green light soaring into the sky before vanishing into thin air.

  The series of deep explosion sounds left everyone present dumbfounded and horrified. With just one move, dozens were killed, chilling them to the depths of their souls with such a strange method of killing. They were greatly enlightened and absolutely shocked by the opponent's formidable strength.
