Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

"You wait for me, once I recover my strength, I will slay you, ensuring that you'll never find peace even in death!"

Lin Yi clenched his teeth in rage, his eyes ice-cold, his body filled with a towering killing intent. He stared at the man in black as if he couldn't wait to cut him into a thousand pieces.

"Ha ha, boy, now you realize how formidable I am!" The man in black laughed uproariously, his face growing more triumphant, "I'll tell you, my cultivation has reached half-step into the Nascent Soul Realm. Your little strength means nothing in my eyes!"

"What?" Lin Yi's color drained from his face, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes, "You've reached half-step into the Nascent Soul Realm?!"

"Ha ha!" The man in black laughed wildly, saying, "How about that? Shocking, isn't it? Now you understand why I am called Black Demon, don't you? Your cultivation might be higher than mine, but your real combat experience is too little. I could use any move to kill you instantly!"

"Is that so?" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath and said, "Then, I shall prove with your blood whether your words hold any truth!"

As he spoke, a cold light burst from Lin Yi's eyes, and his right hand swung suddenly, forming a series of terrifying Sword Qi out of thin air, enveloping the man in black like a giant net descending upon him.

"Sword Qi Domain!"

The man in black's face changed. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to be so powerful that he could release a Sword Qi Domain, and it was even a minor-completed one.

"Hmph, just a minor-completed Sword Qi Domain, it poses no threat to me!"

The corner of the man in black's mouth curved in scorn, his right foot stomped the ground, and he shot towards Lin Yi like a meteor, his arm shaking as his palm turned claw-like, sweeping a bloody wind toward the Sword Qi Domain with a vicious slap.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound erupted as the Sword Qi Domain collapsed, easily destroyed by the man in black.

"Pathetic!"

The man in black sneered in response, taking a step forward, appearing in front of Lin Yi in an instant. His right fist, carrying a terrifying momentum, blasted towards Lin Yi with frightening speed and unparalleled power, causing hearts to palpitate.

"Boom!"

Lin Yi's complexion changed drastically, hastily raising his fist to meet the man in black's punch.

"Boom!"

Fist met fist, and both men staggered back two steps.

The man in black felt a numbness in the arm that had gripped Lin Yi's fist; the vibration in his palm was so intense he almost lost his hold. His face changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Youngster, your physical body is impressive; I am surprised!" the man in black said with narrowed eyes, sizing up Lin Yi.

"Heh, no matter how formidable my physical body is, it's useless. Your fists are also quite powerful!" Lin Yi's expression remained calm. As he looked at the man in black, a strange light flashed through his eyes. Suddenly his body emanated a faint golden glow, within which was a dense True Qi, forming a protective shield around him.

Upon seeing this, the man in black's expression darkened.

"Kid, have you gone mad?!"

"I'm not mad; I am gambling!"

Lin Yi shook his head, flipping his right hand to produce an Elixir and swallowed it.

"What are you doing?" the man in black frowned, sensing something odd about Lin Yi's actions.

"This is an Elixir of mine, after taking it, I can temporarily suppress the backlash of my Bloodline Power!" Lin Yi spoke, a resolute light flashing in his eyes, "My blood cannot be yours, because I have something more important to seek. Hence, I cannot die!"

"Oh? What is this important thing you are looking for?" The man in black grew curious. He gave Lin Yi a look, and suddenly greed flashed in his eyes, saying, "In that case, I will imprison you first. When the time comes, you'll be begging for mercy, and then, it will be of no use to beg however you want!"

"Heh, you think you can imprison me? Wishful thinking!"

Lin Yi sneered coldly, "Even if it costs me a severe injury, I'll drag you down with me!"

No sooner had he spoken than the blood inside Lin Yi's body began to boil tumultuously, burning hot as if a blaze was raging within him. It was frighteningly scalding, causing sweat to bead his forehead and convulsions to shake his skin. He felt like all his organs were close to being incinerated.

Clenching his teeth, Lin Yi's consciousness became increasingly blurry, as if he were a puddle of mud, completely unable to muster any strength.

"What... what's happening? Has my cultivation really fallen to the peak of Earth Rank?"

A terrible look crossed Lin Yi's face as this thought dawned on him.

This time, he had truly met his downfall.

Not only was he severely injured, but his cultivation had also dropped to the peak of Earth Rank. Moreover, he couldn't use his blood to heal his injuries; otherwise, the man in black might devour it.

"Kid, let's see how much longer you can struggle!"

Seeing Lin Yi's complexion grow paler as though he was nearing his limit, the man in black was in high spirits. He sneered coldly, "Do you think that's enough to stop me? You're overestimating yourself! I'll shatter your physical body first, then refine your blood. When that's done, my cultivation will surely increase significantly!"

With that, the man in black moved, transforming into a streaking meteor. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Lin Yi, lifting his palm for a sweeping slap.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed as Lin Yi's cheek was struck to one side, a red mark appearing as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of shock—he couldn't believe that, with his cultivation plummeted to the peak of Earth Rank and overwhelmed by the man in black's cultivation, he was losing to the man in black.

How could he accept this? He was a genius of his generation, destined to become the master of a heavenly force. Yet now, he was being defeated by the man in black.

"You can't do this!" Lin Yi roared, his eyes reddened with humiliation and his pride trampled. He gritted his teeth, ready to perish together with the man in black.

"Hmph, you're really stubborn. I'll send you on your way now!"

The man in black's gaze was icy as he let out a cold cry. A fierce punch that tore through the air surged towards Lin Yi.

This punch, swift as thunder, reached Lin Yi's chest with incredible speed.

"No good!"

Sensing the imminent danger, Lin Yi's pupils shrank, and his face turned a ghastly white. He couldn't help but retreat backward, trying to dodge the man in black's attack.

"Bang!"

A loud noise erupted, and Lin Yi felt a surge of blood in his chest. He couldn't resist spitting out a mouthful of blood mist, his complexion turning deathly pale as blood oozed from his mouth.

"Hahaha!"

The man in black watched the disheveled Lin Yi and couldn't help but burst into laughter. His fists rained down on Lin Yi like a tempest.

"Pfft!"

Lin Yi staggered backward, spitting out blood again and again.

Lin Yi felt his life force draining away rapidly. He knew his blood wouldn't hold out much longer.

At that moment, the man in black's fist landed on Lin Yi's back. His face twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression as he said, "Stinking brat, die!"
