Just as the two quickly got out of the car, Xu Yu, who was walking ahead, immediately noticed the movement behind him.
"Two people?" A cold smile flashed across Xu Yu's lips before he abruptly turned around.
A moment later, Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze, their faces beaming with delight, came into his view.
Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze, seeing Xu Yu suddenly turn around, showed no surprise. They knew Xu Yu was skilled; it would be strange if he couldn't sense such obvious tailing.
"Heh, Xu Yu?" Stopping a few meters away, Lin Dongjie smiled and looked ahead, his eyes burning with fervor. "Now I'll give you a chance. Name your price for that jade."
Even though he was confident he could easily take Xu Yu, in Lin Dongjie's mind, if money could solve the problem, it was better to do so. After all, if word got out, the older generation of the Lin family would have completely different opinions about what was stolen versus what was bought.
Although, after saying this, Lin Dongjie felt he had been quite magnanimous.
This immediately ignited a surge of anger in Xu Yu, who was facing him. At this point, the jade seemed to have transcended its monetary value; it now involved a person's dignity.
Xu Yu coldly glanced at his opponent, too lazy to even speak. He then glanced left and right before heading directly to his right towards a partially green lawn still under construction.
Reaching the heart of the lawn, and sensing that the two behind him had paused briefly before catching up, Xu Yu abruptly turned around, his body swaying as he activated the Serpent Movement martial technique.
In an instant, a sinister and terrifying aura surged into the sky, lunging towards Lin Dongjie, who was more than ten meters away.
"Serpent Movement?"
Upon seeing Xu Yu's change, Lin Dongjie, who had just arrived, was momentarily stunned, then suddenly smiled. Before the aura could fully envelop him, Lin Dongjie's entire body moved with a whoosh, like a long blade slicing through the void, slashing directly at the sinister aura rushing towards him.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp, intense aura, reaching its limit, instantly tore through Xu Yu's newly emerged aura along Lin Dongjie's path, rushing forward even faster.
"You fool!"
Lin Dongjie roared, his body transforming into a giant blade, unleashing a sizzling sound as he slashed straight at Xu Yu's chest with the force of a thunderbolt.
In an instant, the raised blade of Xu Yu's hand gleamed with a terrifying metallic sheen, instantly becoming scorching bright!
This was true blade light, the metallic radiance emanating entirely from his hands.
As that pale golden light appeared, a violent cutting sound erupted in the air, as
if that overwhelming weapon composed purely of golden light, sharp and domineering to the extreme, was determined to tear apart everything in its path!
This was the metal-based martial art, renowned for its strongest destructive power and imposing presence among innate martial arts!
Indestructible, unbreakable!
"Sizzle~"
Before the blade even arrived, a surging, tearing aura had already swept down Xu Yu's chest, splashing stinging pain onto his cheeks.
"What kind of technique is this?" A look of horror flashed in his eyes. Xu Yu immediately tried to move his snake-like body to dodge the terrifying heavy blade, but he was horrified to find that the heavy blade winds emanating from the hand blade in front of him were like clumps of mud, binding his body and making him unable to move at all.
Almost simultaneously, a layer of transparent energy shield suddenly emanated from the jade pendant hidden on Xu Yu's chest, instantly obscuring all the sharpness of the blades striking from above.
"Bang~"
The energy flow from the jade pendant could only protect him, but it couldn't help Xu Yu escape the encirclement. Lin Dongjie's raised hand blade also slashed out like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, its brilliance in that instant like the most dazzling fireworks, breathtakingly beautiful!
Even Xu Yu, standing on the opposing side, momentarily lost his composure.
Lin Dongjie, however, wore a disdainful smile.
For cultivators, it's not just cultivation level that affects their strength; martial arts techniques are equally crucial.
Modern cultivators generally categorize their martial arts techniques into two types: acquired and innate.
Acquired martial arts refer to popular techniques like Xingyi Quan and Iron Sand Palm. While these techniques can unleash immense destructive power when mastered, they are worlds apart from innate martial arts.
Innate martial arts, on the other hand, are those that subtly draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, infusing it with a trace of offensive power. They are categorized into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Among these five elements, the metal element is undoubtedly the most focused on offensive power!
Once its true essence is grasped, drawing upon the surrounding spiritual energy, every strike from the cultivator will possess terrifying power. Lin Dongjie has only mastered the true essence of the first move of the Nine Forms of Heaven-Splitting, a metal-element martial art possessed by the Lin family. Once unleashed, it can make one's hands as hard as metal.
If one masters all nine forms, it is said that one's physical strength can completely withstand the flying swords and magical treasures controlled by legendary immortals and gods.
Even during the Body Cultivation stage, cultivators can only master a maximum of three forms, but once they comprehend the essence of three forms, they can withstand bullets with their bare hands without being harmed.
This is why, after learning that the opponent possessed extremely strong resistance to attacks, he completely disregarded it.
"Die!"
"Boom~"
With intense disdain, as the opponent's mind was taken away, Lin Dongjie roared, and his raised hand blade, like a swarm of starlight, slammed into Xu Yu.
In an instant, a deafening roar erupted from the point where their bodies clashed, scattering brilliant golden light!
He believed that with just one strike, this guy would be critically injured and on the verge of death.
Because this was the Lin family's strongest metal-type martial art!
No expert of the same level could emerge unscathed from this attack!
Never before, and never again!
With Lin Dongjie's cold laugh, Yu Ze, standing to the side, almost felt his blood boil with excitement, his eyes glazed over, and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
My god, is this the Lin family's innate martial art?
That scene was truly terrifying and stunning, and the astonishing power emanating from the opponent was truly unstoppable! He believed that if he were facing such an attack, he would be utterly helpless!
However, all the excitement and elation in the hearts of both Lin Dongjie and Yu Ze vanished in an instant.
The reason was that the guy they thought was about to be seriously injured and half-dead actually... actually stood still in the same place after enduring that terrifying blow.
Even the other person's expression remained exactly the same as before, without the slightest change.
"Huh?"
Two exclamations of surprise suddenly burst from their mouths, but almost simultaneously, Xu Yu, who had just received the terrifying blow, moved with a whoosh.
This movement was direct and without any fanfare; it was as if an ordinary person were swatting a fly, slapping Lin Dongjie hard across the right cheek.
If there was any characteristic to it, it was speed and ferocity!
"Slap!!"
A loud bang suddenly rang out, and Lin Dongjie's still stiff body instantly slammed away like a frail paper doll, flying straight backward.
He landed heavily on the ground with a thud seven or eight meters away.
