The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 19 The Sudden Turnaround on the Platform

At that moment, Lin Yan's gaze landed on the Genuine Qi Artifact. His expression shifted subtly.

If even the full strength of the Art of Sword-Drawing was unable to break through the defenses of the Genuine Qi Artifact, he might be in trouble.

Lin Tianyou, on the other hand, was gloating. He couldn't help but raise his head and laugh at Lin Yan.

"Since things have come to this, I wish to see just what other trump cards you still have up your sleeve."

"If you can break my Genuine Qi Artifact, then that's my loss. However, the way I see it, you probably don't have the power to do so anymore."

"What a pity. If that's the case, all I can do is sell Zhu Xiang off to work in a brothel."

He couldn't stop laughing. Suddenly, a palm-sized gourd appeared in his hand.

Green light surrounded the guard as it boiled with Yuan Qi, pressing toward Lin Yan. It caused his expression to change.

"Another Genuine Qi Artifact!"

He gasped, looking at Lin Tianyou in disbelief.

Even though he had never come into contact with a Genuine Qi Artifact, he knew their worth.

Even when it came to one of the most commonly seen low-grade, attack type Genuine Qi Artifact, it would cost half of the Lin Family's resources.

In fact, not a single shop in the entire Sun County sold Genuine Qi Artifacts.

Craftsmen needed to be familiar with both craftsmanship and runes to become artifact craftsmen.

Artifact craftsmen like that were so rare that they were comparable to alchemists.

Therefore, those two Genuine Qi Artifacts couldn't be from the Lin Family.

"Hmph. I'm afraid this will be goodbye, Lin Yan."

"I will get someone to take your corpse away and hang it on the back door of the Lin Family residence as a warning to others."

Lin Tianyou held his gourd high up in the air. The Eight Trigrams Chart on it flowed nonstop, and all that could be heard were a few whooshing sounds.

On the mouth of the gourd, several imposing pale blue thunder pearls spurt to the air.

The waves of Yuan Qi above the thunder pearl and the churning lightning power made everyone exclaim in shock and fear.

It moved slowly, seemingly easy to dodge, but a struck was all it needed to take one's life.

Not to mention Lin Yan, who had reached the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering, even a practitioner who had reached the Foundation Realm might not be able to withstand it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

When the pale-blue thunder pearl shot over, one could only see a couple of swift afterimages that surrounded Lin Yan in all directions.

The audience was frightened and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

"The Lin Family is truly vicious!"

"So this is Lin Tianyou's trump card, but it looks like Lin Yan can only meet his end here. What a pity. He's so handsome!"

Although killing was prohibited, it was no doubt that Lin Tianyou was going to kill Lin Yan with such a fatal attack.

However, no one from the Imperial City stood out to stop Lin Tianyou.

Obviously, this was a one-sided slaughter that had been planned long ago.

"Three-Star Step, First Stance!"

Lin Yan's footsteps suddenly hit the ground, and he left a multicolored fog of starlight.

The thunder pearl was fast, but Lin Yan was quicker with his Three-Star Step.

In the blink of an eye, four of his afterimages appeared where he had been, merging with the colorful stripes in the air.

His movements were agile and elegant, and there was a whistling sound near his ears.

There were more and more thunder pearls, and Lin Tianyou's smile grew increasingly deranged.

At the edge of the arena, everyone was tense, and they held their breath.

Even Huang Suqiu's eyebrows were slightly knitted together. She felt worried for Lin Yan and could not help but look at a middle-aged man with a sharp nose and white sideburns beside her. He was Ye Eryi.

She was about to say something to him, but he seemed to have expected it and waved his hand to stop her.

"There's no hurry. Let's see how things will develop!"

Swish swish swish!

Lin Yan frowned, but he did not stop for even a second after using the Three-Star Step. He appeared behind Lin Tianyou in the next instant.

He put his palms together, then slowly separated them. In the center of his palm appeared a dark-silver light that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

More sounds echoed within the barrier on the platform.

As soon as the lightning appeared, it flashed with destructive spirit, and a gradually growing silver light emerged from the lightning.

It was hard to look directly at the arena as the light was nearly blinding.

Boom!

An earsplitting roar of thunder rang through the clouds, swallowing up all other chaotic noise.

Lin Yan's lips moved slightly amid the loud voice.

He coldly said, "Sky Thunder of the Dark Domain, Palm of Lightning!"

In the blink of an eye, the Palm of Lightning struck and pierced through Lin Tianyou's forehead like a long needle.

Bang!

Immediately, a silver pillar of lightning burst out from his body, causing the whole world to go dark.

"Argh!"

Lin Tianyou's miserable screams echoed in the thunder pillar for a long time. His screams were shrill and painful, shocking everyone.

When the glow of lightning disappeared, Lin Yan's body became weak. He collapsed on the stone floor of the arena.

The light-blue thunder pearl around him slowly dissipated in the air because of Lin Tianyou's serious injury.

The skin on his body was not fully intact, and the pungent smell of burning flesh wafted from his body. Not a single part of his body was how it should be.

Thud!

His entire body collapsed onto the arena. His eyes had gone white, his life force depleted to the limit.

He might die even at the slightest poke of a finger.

It was dead silent all around.

Someone random was the first to come back to his senses.

His mouth trembled as he stammered, "The exertion of Yuan Qi? How is that possible?! Lin Yan is only at the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering. How can he have already condensed a Seed of Yuan Qi and exerted it?"

That sentence pulled everyone back from their shock. All of them looked at Lin Yan as though he was a monster.

An ordinary martial arts technique did not require much Yuan Qi. However, some martial arts techniques could only be used at the Foundation Realm or the Ninth Stage of the Body Tempering stage!

That was because only by condensing a Seeds of Yuan Qi could one exert a small amount of Yuan Qi.

As for that move earlier, even an ordinary person who did not cultivate martial arts could feel the Yuan Qi mixed in with the Sky Thunder of the Dark Domain.

Even if it was not a significant amount, Lin Yan did manage to exert Yuan Qi.

"Could it be that Lin Yan has already formed a Seed of Yuan Qi within his body? How is that possible?"

"I heard that a hundred years ago, in Sun County, there was also a genius like that who condensed a Seed of Yuan Qi before undergoing the Cleansing of Body three times."

"Maybe Lin Yan is a genius like that too!"

"Really? Lin Yan has this kind of talent? That means the heir apparent of the Lin Family is going to change again!"

"God! What a bunch of monsters the Lin Family is made up of!"

People exclaimed and sighed.

Under the arena, Ye Eryi stroked his white beard and nodded in agreement.

He said a few words to Huang Suqiu in admiration.

"Suqiu! It seems your standards are getting higher. He does indeed have enough talent!"

Huang Suqiu, who was beside him, was also extremely shocked. Her eyes widened as she continued to stare at Lin Yan.

She had never expected Lin Yan to possess such a talent!

Luo Donghe, who was on top of the city gate, looked pale as he trembled. He rose to his feet, and his chair was instantly split in half.

"You again, Lin Yan? Why can't you die for good?"

His eyes were razor-sharp as he stared at Lin Yan. He ignored Lin Lang beside him, who had already descended into madness.

Luo Donghe frowned and suddenly shouted to everyone.

"Lin Yan killed someone and violated the rules of the martial arts competition! Capture him!"

"Use the Penta-elemental chains to bind his ribs. Bring him back to the Imperial City for trial!"
