I. The Power of the Demon
Faced with the bandits’ siege, Lin Ye no longer had any intention of hiding his true strength. In this world, where the strong rule and any weakness could prove fatal, he had no desire to let himself fall into a disadvantaged position again. Taking a deep breath, the suppressed demonic energy within him began to stir. As the power of the demon awoke, the air around Lin Ye changed instantly, with thick black fog spreading outward, like an invisible giant hand that enveloped everything around him.
The black aura seemed to have a life of its own, spreading through the surrounding space and creating a suffocating pressure. The bandits immediately felt the terrifying aura from the abyss, and the boldness they once had vanished like a candle in the wind. Suddenly, they lost all courage, as if they were prey being stared at by the Grim Reaper.
A cold light flickered in Lin Ye’s eyes, and a slight smile curled at the corners of his lips. He had no intention of wasting more time on these ignorant fools. The pressure of a true strong one could only be understood by another strong one; the weak would only tremble in fear.
II. Crushing Power
As Lin Ye’s demonic energy erupted fully, his aura pressed down on the bandits, making it hard for them to breathe. The black mist spread like a tidal wave, and every pulse of Lin Ye’s power felt like a strong wind sweeping across the ground, stirring up dust and making it almost impossible to open one’s eyes. The bandits’ expressions instantly crumbled, and fear surged like a tidal wave in their hearts.
One of the bandits trembled, stammering, “Who... who are you?” His voice was filled with disbelief and terror.
Lin Ye sneered. His figure moved swiftly, like a ghost, and appeared right in front of the bandit. With a single palm strike, the black energy in the air condensed into a powerful force that struck the bandit, sending him flying several meters. There was no resistance—he couldn’t even see Lin Ye’s movements before he was already sent tumbling through the air.
The remaining bandits scrambled to flee, but their speed was negligible compared to Lin Ye’s overwhelming power. Lin Ye’s gaze was ice-cold, and with a flick of his finger, a burst of demonic energy flashed and instantly bound a few of the bandits in place.
“Can you escape?” Lin Ye’s words were as cold as ice, and with a wave of his hand, the black mist suppressed the remaining bandits, crushing them completely.
III. The Effect of Terror
Lin Ye stood calmly on the ground, his gaze sharp as a blade, scanning the defeated bandits. The once fierce and menacing criminals now lay limp on the ground, like rag dolls, their eyes filled with fear and dread. They had fully realized that the young man before them was far beyond anything they could handle.
Lin Ye didn’t say another word. He retrieved his belongings and tossed the bandits a cold smile. “Remember, not everyone can be bullied at will. If you dare to cause trouble again, it won’t be so easy next time.”
With those final words, he turned and left, leaving behind the trembling bandits. Lin Ye’s figure disappeared into the distance, and the black mist slowly dissipated, restoring the scene to its former calm.
Some merchants and passersby who had witnessed the scene stood in stunned silence, their hearts stirred with unease. Though they didn’t speak, it was clear they had already etched the terrifying image of Lin Ye into their minds. This man was clearly no ordinary cultivator, and even those who had seen many things in their lifetimes, like the merchants, could feel the terrifying aura emanating from him.
[Chapter End]
What consequences will Lin Ye face for revealing his demonic power? Will righteous figures in this world see him as an anomaly? In this world, the existence of strong figures inevitably leads to jealousy and enmity, and Lin Ye’s demonic energy is destined to become a double-edged sword on his path of revenge.
How far does he still have to go in the Inner Domain? As he ventures deeper into this unfamiliar land, Lin Ye’s heart is filled with uncertainty. Though each step is fraught with difficulty, he understands that the path ahead will undoubtedly be filled with challenges.
