If he could win this match and obtain his inheritance... perhaps he could even win first place in the Lingxiao Sect's disciple recruitment competition.
"Bone-Shifting Dislocation Hand!"
With this thought, Lin Yao naturally held nothing back. He went all out, using a secret technique to unleash his spiritual power and employing his most skilled and vicious profound technique.
While this profound technique was not as powerful as the Mountain-Pressing Palm, its maliciousness far surpassed it.
In Lin Yao's opinion, it was more than enough to teach Lin Xuan a profound lesson!
Facing this palm strike, Fang Ming's gaze sharpened. His rich combat experience immediately allowed him to perceive a flaw in the move.
A surge of intent locked onto Lin Yao. If he were to use his flying sword now, he could instantly kill Lin Yao... but to conceal his flying sword, he couldn't use it at this moment. Therefore, Fang Ming still employed the Blazing Flame Saber.
Using his palm as a saber.
He met Lin Yao's hand directly.
Lin Yao saw Fang Ming's action and laughed heartily, "Lin Xuan, you want to clash palm against palm? Do you know you're courting death!"
Lin Yao's strongest technique was his palm work, and the Bone-Shifting Dislocation Hand was renowned within the clan! He was already eager to see Lin Xuan's bones dislocated in agony.
Fang Ming sneered. He didn't mock Lin Yao's outburst, but the current situation was the greatest mockery of all.
As their palms met, Lin Yao's sinister palm force was about to invade Fang Ming's body, when it suddenly encountered an even more terrifying and sinister palm force!
In Fang Ming's hands, the Blazing Flame Saber transformed, generating a palm force more terrifying and sinister than the Bone-Shifting Dislocation Hand, which was a mere trifle.
With Fang Ming's martial arts experience, the Blazing Flame Saber could deliver endless pain and potent poison!
As their palms made contact, the Blazing Flame Saber's potent poison and boundless pain spread from the point of contact.
This terrifying, sinister palm force struck precisely Lin Yao's cheek. Amidst the splattering blood, a black palm print appeared on Lin Yao's face, almost twisting his face askew.
Lin Yao was nearly disfigured.
"What?! You dare to hit my face? Ah! No, why does my face hurt so much!" Lin Yao cried out in agony, suddenly suffering such a massive blow.
The flames of the Blazing Flame Saber burned on his face, and the poison turned his skin a sickly green and purple, making him utterly unrecognizable.
The intensity of the pain was immense; even those who had undergone professional training couldn't endure it, let alone the pampered Lin Yao!
After being struck by the Blazing Flame Saber's poison and pain, he seemed on the verge of madness!
Both internally and externally, he was clearly on the brink of collapse and madness!
And it was at this moment.
Fang Ming seized the opportunity, pressing his attack, and once again struck Lin Yao's face with the Blazing Flame Saber, using his palm as a saber!
Both of Lin Yao's cheeks bore large handprints!
Black, green, and red mingled in the handprints!
Fang Ming's improved Blazing Flame Saber was no ordinary technique!
It was extremely sinister, a hundred times more so than the Bone-Shifting Dislocation Hand!
Not only did it smash Lin Yao's face now, but even if the surface wounds were healed later, it would leave sequelae that even Foundation Establishment realm cultivators couldn't erase!
From then on, every day at noon, the handprints on Lin Yao's face would cause him unbearable pain.
This was the lesson Fang Ming taught him! And also—the lesson Lin Xuan taught this person who often bullied him!
"Kneel!" Fang Ming, seizing the advantage, directly swept his leg, forcing Lin Yao to his knees.
Under the watchful eyes of countless direct and collateral disciples, he was utterly humiliated!
To deal with Lin Yao, there was no need to use the flying sword; the Blazing Flame Saber was more than enough!
Seeing this scene, Fang Ming even felt a hint of relief, a joy of revenge—or perhaps, it was Lin Xuan who felt the joy.
"Lin Xuan, how dare you do this! How dare you..." Lin Yao's eyes were bloodshot. Kneeling before the person he once looked down upon was an endless humiliation!
It was even more humiliating to him than the pain on his face at that moment!
So much so that Lin Yao temporarily ignored the pain on his face!
"I am the Second Elder's son! How dare you treat me like this? How dare you..."
Lin Yao roared, as if his background was of immense power.
And the spectators below were equally astonished.
"Lin Xuan actually made Lin Yao kneel?"
"Lin Yao cultivates both body and spirit, both at the seventh level of Meridian Condensation, and had trump cards, yet he knelt so easily?"
"This, this is too unbelievable!"
"Why is Lin Xuan so strong?"
Some collateral disciples exclaimed in amazement.
Lin Yao had been famous for a long time, while Lin Xuan had only recently risen. In everyone's minds, Lin Yao held an absolute advantage. Who would have thought he couldn't even defeat someone who had just risen?
Moreover, even if he couldn't defeat him, Lin Yao wasn't the top expert among the younger generation within the clan; there were still Lin family disciples who could defeat Lin Yao...
If Lin Xuan and Lin Yao had fought for hundreds of rounds before a victor was decided, these people wouldn't have been so surprised.
The problem was, the current situation was a complete rout!
Lin Xuan didn't exert much effort and defeated Lin Yao so easily!
This could only leave the onlookers in utter shock!
"This kind of strength... is too formidable! That inheritance from the ancient ruins must be incredibly powerful to have forged Lin Xuan into such a state!"
"Well fought! Lin Yao is too arrogant and often bullies others. Now the tables have turned, and it's finally his turn to kneel."
"This is retribution! This is what he deserves for doing so many bad deeds!"
"I already cursed him to have a bad end this year, and it has come true! It seems that curse profound technique is truly effective!"
"...Actually, I don't think it was effective. It was a coincidence, right?"
"Otherwise, with your spiritual power, how could you cast such a profound technique? To affect two experts like Lin Xuan and Lin Yao who have reached the late stage of Meridian Condensation... such a profound technique is definitely not an ordinary one, and you couldn't afford it!"
"...I was just saying, you don't have to cruelly state the truth..."
The people below were still exclaiming in shock.
While on the stage, Fang Ming looked coldly at the defenseless Lin Yao.
"I told you to kneel, so kneel! What nonsense are you spouting! So much useless talk!"
"Do you really take your Second Elder's son status and backing seriously?"
Fang Ming slapped Lin Yao's face. To kill a person is to attack their heart. By forcibly making Lin Yao kneel in front of everyone, Fang Ming undoubtedly shattered the Dao heart of the arrogant and conceited Lin Yao.
The Dao heart of a cultivator is extremely important. In this realm, there are also concepts of heart demon oaths and Dao hearts.
