However, this was an anomaly, an isolated case. At least, for the vast majority of people, this law still held true.
Lin Yang himself was a direct descendant of the family, holding a high position. Someone like him, even if he became Lin Yao's lackey, would be among the top dogs, the number one or two lackeys.
Slapping his face was entirely different from slapping the face of a mere servant lackey. To Lin Yao, the impact and stimulation were completely different.
Realizing this, Fang Ming decided to mimic the tone of his original body, Lin Xuan, to provide an excuse of "righteousness."
"Lin Yang, you are still so despicable and shameless. Facing the two of us, you actually sent so many people to attack."
"Fine, if you want to bully us with numbers, I'll play along!"
Fang Ming knew that Lin Zhuyu's strength was at most enough to defeat one dispatched officer at the third level of Condensing Meridian. Lin Zhuyu had only just begun practicing the Cold Moon Whip technique and lacked experience. Even with the physical cultivation strength comparable to the fourth level of Condensing Meridian provided by the gene serum, she couldn't fight against multiple opponents. Among these dispatched officers, there were undoubtedly those at the fourth and fifth levels of Condensing Meridian. To fight against so many? Even Lin Zhuyu, with her fourth-level Condensing Meridian strength, couldn't achieve that.
Now, only he could step forward to resolve everything.
On the other side, upon hearing Fang Ming's words, Lin Yang sneered, "A joke, so what if I bully you with numbers?"
"In the cultivation world, there is no good or evil, no justice. There is only the survival of the fittest, the strong are revered!"
"If you are weak, you are guilty!"
Fang Ming burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Excellent, I think the same!"
"Then let's settle this with our fists and see who is stronger!"
The dispatched officers on the opposing side were merely five at the third level of Condensing Meridian, three at the fourth level, plus Lin Yang, who cultivated both Dharma and body, at the fifth level of Condensing Meridian, making his overall strength comparable to the sixth level of Condensing Meridian. For Lin Zhuyu, this was an insurmountable situation – even the sixth level of Condensing Meridian would undoubtedly lose! After all, Lin Yang cultivated both Dharma and body. Although his cultivation was only at the fifth level of Condensing Meridian, combined with his body refinement strength, he was enough to fight an equal against the sixth level of Condensing Meridian. With the addition of the other eight people attacking together, an ordinary cultivator at the sixth level of Condensing Meridian would be unable to resist this lineup. Only a master at the seventh level of Condensing Meridian, that is, the late stage of Condensing Meridian, would be needed to intervene!
But Fang Ming's strength was far beyond the seventh level of Condensing Meridian, let alone the late stage of Condensing Meridian? With strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm, these ants were nothing to fear. This lineup was merely enough to warm up.
Fang Ming's entire body surged with power. With a single kick, a dispatched officer at the third level of Condensing Meridian was sent flying by Lin Xuan. How powerful was Fang Ming's inherent strength? It was the fusion of the martial artist system, the gene system, and the body refinement techniques of the cultivation world. The power of this kick was enough to directly kick the person at the third level of Condensing Meridian to death. However, since he still needed the Lin family's resources, Fang Ming couldn't directly kill anyone. At most, he would cripple this person with this kick.
The dispatched officer who was kicked away immediately let out a scream. This naturally drew a reaction from the other side.
"This kid has great strength, everyone be careful!" said a dispatched officer who had been watching.
These words shocked the eight people from the Fenglu Hall. Wasn't this Lin Xuan not even at the first level of Condensing Meridian? Wasn't he a mortal? A mortal kicking a cultivator flying with one kick? What kind of monster was this? They were already amazed when Lin Zhuyu defeated that fat man with her whip technique, and now, another freak? Did this Lin Xuan also cultivate his body and refine his physique? Why were there so many people who liked to refine their bodies and become body cultivators? And they had been hiding their body cultivation for so long?
They were all stunned. Fang Ming knew at a glance that these people had made a grave mistake. During a battle, they were still in shock and stunned, thus missing the best combat opportunity. This was not the behavior of a cultivator with strong combat experience. In fact, they were inferior to the combat experience of the subordinate that Fang Ming had faced before, Gao Xianwu. These personnel from the Fenglu Hall were ultimately family disciples, not rogue cultivators from outside, nor were they servants. Their combat experience was relatively lacking, making them prone to making mistakes. If they were in the outside world, such mistakes at critical moments could lead to them performing poorly in battles against rogue cultivators or robbers, ultimately resulting in a tragic defeat.
However, for Fang Ming, whether their combat performance was erratic or not was actually not very important. Because, facing him with strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm, even if the opponents had extremely rich combat experience and could seize every opportunity without error, they still couldn't achieve victory.
"Blazing Flame Saber."
Fang Ming still used this saber technique to deal with these enemies. It was a martial arts saber technique. The Blazing Flame Saber was not an immortal-devil-level martial art, but a martial art below that level. Its grade was much inferior to the Cold Moon Whip technique. However, whether it was martial arts, the profound arts of this world, or the spells of the number one cultivation world, they all became more powerful when wielded by powerful individuals. Fang Ming's own strength far surpassed Lin Zhuyu's. Therefore, even though the Blazing Flame Saber was a martial art below the immortal-devil level, when Fang Ming performed it, it was far more powerful than Lin Zhuyu's performance of the Cold Moon Whip technique.
Blazing Flame Saber!
With a fierce slash, the momentum was overwhelming. It was as if the vast ocean was being burned by flames. It was as if the entire world had turned into a fiery realm. In the eyes, there were only raging flames. Within the flames, all forms, all formlessness, all energy, all non-energy, all material and non-material existences were weakened to the extreme. The intense fire grew larger and larger, first burning down a county, then a province, and finally almost turning the entire Nine Provinces into ashes. No one could stop it. Even countless cultivators, as high as the Nascent Soul or Ascension realm, had died under the Blazing Flame Saber.
Blazing Flame Saber. World-Ending Saber. This was a world-ending saber! The entire Great Nine Provinces World wailed under this saber...
All of this flashed through the minds of the Fenglu Hall personnel opposite Fang Ming. The boundless spiritual pressure of the Blazing Flame Saber made the five dispatched officers' movements difficult, as if their bodies were frozen. These five were only at the third level of Condensing Meridian, and their Dharma power was insufficient to immunize them from the interference of spiritual power. They were now trapped in a spiritual illusion.
In the illusionary world.
Meanwhile, Fang Ming's physical saber was already approaching their bodies.
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
With five consecutive thuds, the five dispatched officers who fell victim to the Blazing Flame Saber soon lay on the ground, engulfed in endless pain. They, too, followed in the footsteps of those servants. They were defeated by Fang Ming and suffered the torment of the Blazing Flame Saber.
"Iron Crane Palm!"
"Golden Rainbow Fist!"
"Scorching Source Spear!"
Besides these five dispatched officers at the third level of Condensing Meridian, there were three more at the fourth level. Their Dharma power was slightly stronger than the five at the third level. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they broke free from the spiritual control of the Blazing Flame Saber.
