Everyone looked towards Lin An in confusion. They all felt that he was too shameless!
Just as the cultivators were in a daze, one of the golden core stage cultivators recognized Lin An.
He had been at the scene when Lin An had split open the sea of fire formation with a single sword strike.
The golden core stage cultivator had also witnessed Lin An defeat the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect disciples.
In the end, the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect’s eldest senior brother had asked his own disciple to apologize to Lin An.
“Kid, I advise you to mind your own business. If you know what’s good for you, then scram.” One of the golden core stage cultivators said sternly.
The expression of the golden core stage cultivator who had witnessed Lin An’s previous actions immediately changed, and he hurriedly pulled the cultivator who had scolded Lin An and said hurriedly, “Brother Li, forget it! Forget it!”
However, the arrogant cultivator completely ignored him and said with a cold snort, “I think this kid doesn’t know what it means to have the courage of a leopard after eating a bear’s heart. He still dares to stand in front of us. We must teach him a lesson.”
“Don’t provoke him any further!” The cultivator who was familiar with Lin An shouted out in fear. His tone was extremely stern as he addressed his companions.
His golden-core stage companions were all stunned. Even the foundation establishment cultivators, who had been surrounded by the golden core stage cultivators, were perplexed. They didn’t know what had happened to the frightened golden core stage cultivator.
Lin An stood a few meters away from the group and held the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword by his waist as he looked at the cultivators with a smile.
However, the frightened cultivator couldn’t feel the warmth in Lin An’s warm smile. Instead, he felt as if the grim reaper was smiling at the group.
The scared cultivator instantly felt a burst of cold sweat run down his back. His intuition told him that he couldn’t stay among his companions any longer, so he quickly cupped his hands towards Lin An and said, “Brother Lin, what a coincidence. So, you were the first to see this starlight prairie. No wonder I felt that it was so imposing! Oh, right! I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave!”
After he spoke, the frightened cultivator quickly stepped onto his flying sword like a startled bird and flew away unsteadily.
Lin An couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the cultivator’s mediocre flying skills.
The other golden core stage cultivators watched their companion leave the scene and suddenly had blank expressions on their faces. They looked at the escaping cultivator in confusion and then turned their gazes toward Lin An.
No matter how hard they tried to reason together, they all felt that Lin An wasn’t a tremendous threat to them. At most, he was at the peak of the golden core stage. Other than that, they couldn’t see anything else that would make their companion panic and escape.
Instantly, all the cultivators present were confused.
However, there wasn’t much time left for them to react.
In the next second, Lin An’s figure had blurred, leaving only a trail of lightning on the ground.
Suddenly, he dashed toward the aspiring disciples.
The few golden core cultivators didn’t realize what was happening. Some of them reacted and spun around, only to see that the starlight grass had disappeared.
When they turned back again, they saw Lin An standing at his original spot, and he was holding the starlight grass in his hand.
From the moment he had vanished to when he had reappeared again, the entire process had only taken the space of one breath, so much so that the golden core stage cultivators had turned around twice, but they hadn’t seen Lin An attack at all.
The foundation establishment cultivators were also stunned. They didn’t know any profound movement techniques, but just from the round-trip that Lin An had displayed, they could already see the difference between him and the golden core cultivators who were standing in front of them.
It was like the difference between the clouds and the mud. Even though Lin An and the golden core stage cultivators were in the same cultivation level, they were no longer on the same level of strength.
At the same time, the golden core cultivators’ eyes were filled with anger, and they looked at Lin An with dark expressions.
“Don’t tell me you want to fight with us?” One golden core stage cultivator asked. His tone was full of arrogance and anger.
Lin An couldn’t even be bothered to lift his eyelids as he said calmly, “Fight with you? Are you even worthy? You’re just a weakling. I can destroy you with a single strike.”
“Hmph! What big words!”
Instantly, the few golden core stage cultivators shouted together.
“The cultivator who escaped is most likely this person’s accomplice. They joined forces to put on a show just to scare us.”
“I don’t believe that he can cope with us all at once. Let’s attack together!”
“Kill!”
Immediately, the golden core stage cultivators attacked decisively. Their movement techniques generated the sounds of wind and thunder as they charged towards Lin An.
They didn’t believe that Lin An could be any stronger than the combined power of their attack.
Instantly, the combined attacks of the five cultivators generated many sword shadows that instantly surrounded Lin An.
The dense sword shadows, combined with the power from the attackers’ cultivation techniques, formed a dense attack net around Lin An and made it impossible for him to escape.
When the foundation establishment cultivators saw the effectiveness of the attack, their faces instantly turned pale.
“What good teamwork! Looking at their proficiency, these five cultivators probably fight together often, and they have already honed their common attack techniques.”
“That peak golden core stage cultivator still wants to fight five opponents at once. This time, he has encountered a tough challenge.”
“These five cultivators are probably even harder to defeat than my senior brothers from my previous sect.”
“That kid should use his terrifying speed to escape. He can’t defeat his five opponents in a head-on fight.”
…
Buzz!
The soft hum of the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword suddenly rang out.
Lin An unsheathed his sword and gently waved it at the attacking golden core stage disciples.
Suddenly, a vast and mighty power spread out from his body and caused the dried leaves on the ground to flutter wildly.
In the next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the area and pounced toward the few golden core stage cultivators.
Their faces turned ashen, and under the encirclement of Lin An’s power, they felt as if they were about to suffocate. Instantly, a strong sense of danger assaulted their hearts.
“This is bad! Everyone, proceed with caution!” One cultivator shouted in alarm.
However, it was too late. All the golden core cultivators suddenly felt their vision darken, and then, in the next instant, they saw a pair of eyes that were filled with killing intent flash infront of them.
“No…”
The golden core stage cultivators let out an unwilling roar.
Abruptly, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword generated blood-red sword shadows that blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they pressed down on the cultivators. Afterward, the sword’s violent aura immediately stirred up a storm.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Lin An’s sword cut off the vitality of the five golden core stage cultivators.
In the next instant, the success rate system’s notifications rang out in his ears.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained twenty-one lottery coins!]
Several meters from the scene, the few foundation establishment stage cultivators looked at Lin An with dumbfounded expressions.
They had originally thought that Lin An could only rely on his extremely high movement techniques to escape.
However, they hadn’t expected him to brazenly attack and kill all five golden core stage cultivators with just one strike. The terrifying sequence had been extremely shocking.
The foundation establishment stage cultivators sensed the lingering killing intent on Lin An’s body, and they instantly trembled!
