One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

After a deafening bang, the ground shook slightly. Countless cracks spread out from the point where the two men clashed... But what was even more shocking was that at that moment, a huge ball of blue light and golden color intertwined and entangled, forming a huge vortex in mid-air, and its influence continued to expand, sucking in everything around it.

At the same time, Ye Lin and Ma Xianhong, who were in the eye of the storm, had their own thoughts.

Ma Xianhong felt that his attack was met with unprecedented resistance. "This guy seems to be hiding something special... But no matter what, I won't back down!" He gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing to exert powerful force.

On the other hand, Ye Lin remained calm even under such pressure: "He is indeed not a person who can be defeated so easily, but this is also a good opportunity for me to test my own strength." He gripped the base of the spear with both hands, and suddenly roared, releasing all the strength that had been accumulated in his body for a long time!

With this action, the atmosphere in the entire area subtly shifted: the chaotic aura that had originally surrounded the two gradually dissipated, replaced by a purer, brighter aura. "This is..." Even Ma Xianhong couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

But he quickly regained his composure. "Indeed, it's been a long time since I've met someone who can unleash my full strength. Now, you'll see my final and most powerful attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly became extremely solemn. He took a deep breath, then suddenly exhaled sharply and uttered, "Divine Machine Hundred Refinements!"

Suddenly, the energy beam, which was already extremely terrifying, became even thicker and more dazzling; it grew madly as it shot towards the opposite side, as if it could devour everything that stood in its way!

"Hmph, if that's the case, I'll show you my true special move!" Facing this devastating attack, Ye Lin showed no fear, instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher. He wielded his spear without hesitation, instantly leaving several afterimages. "Dragon roars in the sky, its might shakes the world!"

The golden spear burst forth with the force of thunder, colliding directly with the incoming energy ball. The collision instantly produced an indescribably powerful recoil, causing the surrounding air to seem to stagnate...

Boom~! Finally, when the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

Ye Lin stood there expressionlessly, his spear still held in his hand, its sharpness not diminished at all.

Ma Xianhong fell heavily to the ground, blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Lin glanced coldly at his opponent lying on the ground and said, "You lose." After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Ma Xianhong, who was lying on the ground, struggled to sit up, supporting himself on the ground with one hand while reaching out to the corner of his mouth with the other hand to try to wipe away the blood.

"Are you from Nadutong Company?" he asked with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"No," Ye Lin stopped but did not look back at Ma Xianhong, "I have nothing to do with this company."

Ma Xianhong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then frowned again and asked, "If that's the case, why are you here? Are you here to hunt down Chen Duo?"

Hearing this, Ye Lin shook his head slightly and denied it. "No, I was just passing by here and didn't intend to target anyone. And as for the so-called 'arrest' operation you mentioned, I'm afraid you just misunderstood something."

After hearing this, Ma Xianhong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Then why didn't you explain the situation earlier!"

Ye Lin seemed somewhat helpless about this question. "I had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning. It's just that you unilaterally made a wrong assumption."

After a moment of silence, as if he had thought of something, he asked again: "If...if one day you really meet that girl (referring to Chen Duo), what would you do?"

Faced with such a direct question, Ye Lin pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly: "To be honest, I'm not sure what specific actions I will take. But I can be sure of one thing - at least she won't be hurt or even killed."

This answer obviously made Ma Xianhong feel a little relieved.

The night was deep, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze was accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in the distance.

Ma Xianhong watched Ye Lin's back gradually disappearing into the night, and countless unsolved mysteries emerged in his mind.

But at this moment, he didn't have any thoughts of asking further questions. Perhaps sometimes, silence can bring more relief than words. "How will he treat Chen Duo?" Thinking of this, Ma Xianhong sighed and turned back to his room.

Not far away on the same street, Ye Lin, who had just escaped Ma Xianhong's sight, suddenly stopped. His ears keenly caught the sound of footsteps in the nearby grass—human footsteps, and this speed was definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

"Who are you? Since you've followed me here, there's no need to hide!" Ye Lin's voice was calm yet majestic, and it rang out clearly in the night sky.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness. The leading man, with a thin face and piercing eyes, was none other than Wang Ye, the Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. The other, dressed in a slightly languid manner and with a playful smile on his face, was Zhuge Qing from the Wuhou Clan.

Seeing that the person before him wasn't an enemy but a familiar face, Ye Lin's expression relaxed a bit. "So it's you two. What are you doing running around so late?"

However, faced with such a question, the first to speak up was the usually gentle yet cunning Wang Ye, "Shouldn't we be asking you this? Why is Brother Ye Lin meeting with outsiders in the middle of the night? Those noises just now... didn't sound like a normal conversation."

"That's right, could it be that our Brother Ye also has a dark secret that needs to be dealt with in secret?" Zhuge Qing said as he glanced at his good brother next to him, seeming to enjoy this sudden sense of gossip very much.

Facing the two people's teasing, especially the hint contained in the last sentence, Ye Lin couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. I'm dealing with serious matters. As for the specifics... well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. To put it simply, I just had a confrontation with Ma Xianhong before." At this point, he deliberately emphasized the word "a confrontation" to emphasize the brief, rather than continuous, nature of the confrontation.

Hearing this, the atmosphere, which had been somewhat joking, suddenly turned serious. "Ma Xianhong?" Wang couldn't help but repeat the name, his brow furrowed.

"Village Chief of Biyou Village? How did it suddenly come to you?"
