The dense elemental energy droplets in his body quickly gathered together and gradually solidified.
As the heaven and earth elemental energy in this space was too thin, Lin Xiu had no choice but to take out a large number of spirit stones and place them in his hands. He then continuously absorbed and transformed them in an attempt to complete the breakthrough in the shortest time possible.
Although he had long known that a breakthrough was imminent, he never thought that he would have a breakthrough at this time after only three days in this space. Fortunately, the place he chose was relatively remote. If he had broken through in a crowded place, it would have attracted a lot of attention.
If those people had evil intentions, Lin Xiu, who was breaking through, would not be able to be distracted at all. He would probably meet with misfortune and become an offering for others to collect tokens.
Time passed by bit by bit and the origin crystals in his body increased. Seeing that the breakthrough was about to be completed, Lin Xiu's ears suddenly twitched. He could hear that many people were rapidly approaching this place.
He was extremely anxious and circulated the Thousand Layer Body Refinement Technique frantically in an attempt to increase the absorption speed.
"Haha, I can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, but by chance I found it without even looking." A figure stood proudly and looked at Lin Xiu who was in front of them with a cruel smile on his face.
"Big brother, this kid has killed many people in the past two days. I'm afraid his harvest is not ordinary. If we kill him, won't we be able to take a big step forward?" A small fry stared at Lin Xiu with a fiery gaze and licked his lips with eyes filled with greed.
Just as they were about to make a move, something unexpected happened. There was another sound that pierced through the air and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. It was no other person but Helian Wuwei.
"How dare a bunch of rascals like you have designs on my friend? You're really courting death."
Helian Wuwei's voice resounded in everyone's ears, causing their expressions to drastically change. A person's reputation was akin to a tree's shadow. Helian Wuwei's name had already spread across the entire Eastern Xuan Region. Other than those at the very top of the Genius Rankings who could put up a fight against him, how could anyone else be his match?
But if they were to give up on the fat sheep that was about to fall into their hands, they were really unwilling and fell into a dilemma.
"Big Brother …" Everyone turned to look at their leader, wanting him to come up with a plan.
To be honest, no matter how strong Helian Wuwei was, they were not to be trifled with. All of them were at the Earthly Origin Late Stage. If they were to gang up on him, even Helian Wuwei, who was ranked sixth on the Genius Ranking, would not be able to escape unscathed.
If they could seize the opportunity to eliminate Helian Wuwei as well, not only would they be able to eliminate a strong competitor, but they would also be able to obtain Helian Wuwei's badge, allowing their rankings to skyrocket.
In the mortal world, wealth could move people's hearts, but in the world of cultivation, resources could also cause people to be envious and take risks out of desperation.
After struggling for a while, the leader finally made up his mind to attack Helian Wuwei.
In other words, even if they were no match for this legendary martial arts fanatic, if they joined forces and wanted to retreat, Helian Wuwei would not be able to do anything to them.
A group of people surrounded Helian Wuwei and sealed off all of his escape routes. Then, the leader of the group took out his weapon, a huge hammer, and said with an indescribable pride on his face, "Number six on the Genius Ranking, if I can defeat you, wouldn't it boost my reputation if word of this gets out?"
A few of his lackeys echoed in agreement. Even though it might seem like an unfair victory if word got out that they had joined forces, their opponents were, after all, well-known experts of the younger generation. Therefore, it would not hinder their reputation from spreading.
When Helian Wuwei saw the ugly faces of these people, he felt a wave of disgust in his heart. Without any hesitation, he swung out his right fist and directly punched at the young man who seemed to be the leader.
The powerful punch brought about a series of sonic booms. Even though the young man was at the peak of Earthly Origin Stage, he felt as if he had lost the ability to move under this punch. He could only watch as the fist approached him with a dry mouth.
"Boom!"
A loud sound was heard as the leader was solidly punched in the chest by Helian Wuwei. Cracking sounds could be heard coming from his body and it was unknown how many of his ribs were broken. Then, he lay on the ground with white foam coming out of his mouth and was already unconscious.
When the others saw this situation, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across their eyes. The failure of a single person did not mean that they would lose their confidence in attacking. The reason why the youth who seemed to be the leader was able to become the leader, other than his own strength, was because he had led them to rob quite a number of lone martial artists along the way, allowing them to gain some benefits from it.
There were many people in the group whose strength was on par with the young man.
"The few of you are really too weak. It's better if you all attack together." Helian Wuwei's patience had almost worn out. In his opinion, these small fries did not even have the qualifications to make him draw his sword.
"Kill him. I don't believe that he alone can defeat all of us together." One of the young men, who had a hideous scar on his face, suddenly shouted at his companions.
When the others heard his command, they held their own weapons in their hands and covered them with Yuan Power. They believed that once they unleashed their martial skills, it would definitely be no small matter.
Various types of Yuan Power filled the area. Although Helian Wuwei was confident in himself, he was still hit by a sneak attack when faced with the joint attack of a few people.
After wiping the blood from his mouth, Helian Wuwei took a heavy step forward.
"You bastards have successfully provoked my anger."
After unleashing his full strength, Helian Wuwei's movement speed was extremely fast. Everyone could only see his afterimage before their chests received an extremely fierce attack.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief. Although these people knew that they would definitely not be Helian Wuwei's opponent in a one-on-one fight, they did not expect that Helian Wuwei would still be so powerful even when surrounded. For a moment, they panicked a little and some of them even regretted the decision they made earlier.
Just as these rascals were hesitating on whether to continue attacking, Lin Xiu finally completed his breakthrough. He stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. When he felt the unprecedented vigorous Yuan Power in his body, he could not help but let out a long roar.
