After Lin Tang sealed the consciousness of Martial Saint Number Seven, the latter beca a puppet that only chanically followed orders. Lin Tang had left a failsafe within his body, allowing him to take control at any ti. Just a mont ago, the instant the shadowy figure possessed Number Seven, Lin Tang sensed it. He knew sothing was wrong and rushed over at once.
Mid-flight, he paused to think and decided to first place Wei Zichu on the ground. He wanted to avoid accidentally injuring her if a fierce battle broke out with Number Seven. The mont they landed, just as he was about to take off alone, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Lin Tang, your ti has co!"
"Hm?"
Lin Tang turned his head to see Yan Renjie, brimming with fighting spirit, standing proudly with his sword and blocking the path ahead. At the sa ti, Watanabe Kouichi appeared behind him, dragging an exaggeratedly huge sword over ten ters long.
"This is the guy you wanted us to kill? He doesn't look like much!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Two more people appeared simultaneously, flanking Lin Tang on his left and right. The forr was Jin Shangyu from Korea, while the latter was Chen Shouyang from Malaysia. Both had gained the recognition of an Immortal Sword and possessed a sword seed.
In fact, Yan Renjie had sought out no fewer than twenty people in total, but all the others had failed and perished. These two succeeded, instantly becoming super experts. When the four n practiced together, the combined power of their four swords was so imnse that even they found it terrifying. This also gave them boundless confidence. No matter how strong Lin Tang was, they were certain they could kill him! And so, they had co.
Originally, Yan Luoyang and Mu Fan had personally witnessed the power of the four swords combined and believed Lin Tang had no chance of turning the tables. But, once bitten, twice shy. After careful consideration, Yan Luoyang decided to seize the opportunity to capture Lee Encai instead of joining the fight against Lin Tang.
Mu Fan had once sworn to kill Shen Youling because she was more beautiful than his own wife, sothing he could not tolerate. However, he never expected that a strange shadow would suddenly appear and make a move on Shen Youling first.
"Lin Tang, did you ever think this day would co? Last ti…" Yan Renjie sneered, preparing to launch into a speech.
"You talk too much. Don't you know I'm in a hurry?" Lin Tang cut him off, throwing a punch directly.
His punch was simple and brutal. A blinding pillar of light distorted the air as parallel ravines cracked open the ground, creating large fissures.
"Hmph!" Yan Renjie swept his sword horizontally. His Sword Qi, vibrant as a rainbow, managed to withstand the might unleashed by the punch. Even so, he was forced back several steps, a red flush creeping over his face.
How long has it been? He's gotten stronger again! Yan Renjie was shocked, yet also relieved. Thankfully, I acted quickly and found three partners. If I had delayed for another year or so, with his outrageous rate of improvent, it would have been far too late!
"Attack together! Kill him!" Yan Renjie roared furiously, his sword light intensifying.
"I am willing to beco a sword, to cut you, to cut him, to cut myself!"
SWISH!
Seeing the terrifying power of Lin Tang's casual punch, Watanabe Kouichi imdiately shed any trace of arrogance. He bellowed, "Everything born of nature can beco a sword! Heavenly Sword, Earth Sword, Human Sword!"
He dragged the massive sword, which vibrated and suddenly generated a mighty suction force. It pulled all the steel rebar from the nearby buildings, rging it into the blade. As the buildings collapsed one by one, the giant sword grew even larger and longer!
"Your sword is my sword! Sword Heart, Sword Soul, Sword All Living Beings!" Jin Shangyu roared. At his call, dozens, even hundreds of strands of Sword Qi gathered like a school of sardines, forming ranks and furiously intertwining!
Chen Shouyang declared, "Of the Three Thousand Great Daos, I seek only one sword! Sword Intent, Swordsmanship, Sword of Infinity!" As his words fell, his body began to glow, the radiance coalescing into the phantom of a sword that was indistinguishable from his own form.
The four of them launched their ultimate attacks at once, assailing Lin Tang with a storm of slashes, thrusts, and twisting blades that surrounded him completely. In an instant, Lin Tang was trapped with no escape to the heavens above or the earth below, as the world before him filled with nothing but swords. Wherever the sword light passed, everything turned to dust. The might was earth-shattering; if it continued, an entire city could be utterly destroyed!
Wei Zichu, who was standing with Lin Tang, was naturally within the range of the attack. For a mont, her mind went blank, with only one thought remaining.
Are we going to die?!
"All flash and no substance. Utter trash," Lin Tang said, simply shaking his head. "Watch carefully. I will only use one sword…"
HUM!
A faint gleam of light danced at his fingertips. Compared to the sky-filling sword light created by the four n, it was like a firefly against the bright moon—insignificant, dim, and trivial.
Yan Renjie and the others were about to mock him, ready to tear him to shreds, but they never could have imagined what happened next. The light transford into a silken thread. With a gentle, effortless twist, it silently wiped everything away. It didn't matter what kind of sword it was; they all disintegrated.
Chen Shouyang, who had beco one with his sword, was the first to fall. He sprayed blood everywhere as he collapsed heavily to the ground. Then ca Jin Shangyu and Watanabe Kouichi, followed by Yan Renjie. Without exception, none could withstand a single blow. They were all defeated in an instant.
This was Lin Tang's Flying Sword! The divine might of Xuanhuang Qi!
"Impossible! Impossible!" Yan Renjie cried out in despair. I never imagined Lin Tang possessed such an ultimate weapon! What kind of sword was that? You call that a sword?! So he was just playing with all along? He was never going all out?
This was a misunderstanding. Lin Tang's Flying Sword had only beco this powerful in the last few days. Before, if he had faced the collective assault of Yan Renjie and his three companions, Lin Tang might have truly been at a loss. It could only be said that Yan Renjie and his n were terribly unlucky. It was a matter of timing and fate.
"ARGH! I worked so hard to get to this day! How can I die so pathetically?! EXPLODE! EXPLODE! EXPLODE!" Watanabe Kouichi's eyes were bloodshot and looked ready to burst from his fury. He watched as the flesh on his fingers and arms was flayed away piece by piece, the decay spreading toward the rest of his body. He decisively detonated his sword seed. Yan Renjie and the other two made the sa choice, opting for mutual destruction.
A deafening sonic boom ripped through the air. The people of the entire city looked up in shock. They saw the light and heat of the explosion form the shape of a long sword, shooting thousands of ters into the sky and tearing a gap in the clouds. It was an unbelievable, miraculous sight.
Lin Tang stood in front of Wei Zichu, taking the brunt of the explosive force. It was impossible for him to escape unscathed. Blood flowed profusely from his wounds, his bones starkly exposed. Yet, under the effect of the Spring Breeze and Rain technique, his flesh rapidly began to regrow. The cost was the near-complete depletion of his True Qi, and his Golden Core had also shrunk.
Under normal circumstances, he should have found a secluded room to imdiately enter seclusion and heal. But he still rushed off toward Shen Youling. As for Yan Renjie and his companions, they had vanished. It was unclear whether they were dead or had fled. Lin Tang, anxious to save his wife, had no ti to search for them.
Suddenly, his Communication Talisman buzzed with an urgent cry from Lee Encai. "Brother Lin, save ! That pervert Yan Luoyang found again… Ah!"
Lee Encai's Communication Talisman had a built-in location feature, and Lin Tang imdiately sensed her position. It was in the exact opposite direction from Shen Youling.
Lin Tang froze. Damn it! What do I do now? Save Youling first? Or Encai? It was a difficult choice.
When Lin Tang wasn't ho, Lee Encai found it too awkward to face Shen Youling and Shen Qiushi alone, so she temporarily stayed in a hotel. During the day, she would work at Ge Shijian's dical clinic to pass the ti while also learning Gu techniques from Gu Zicheng.
Although Lin Tang had placed a ward on her to prevent Yan Luoyang from sensing her location, Mu Fan had a legion of lackeys and spies. After so tracking and investigation, they found her anyway.
"Lee Encai, my fiancée, you won't escape this ti, even if you sprout wings!" Yan Luoyang appeared abruptly.
Lee Encai was taken aback. "Master Gu, quick, stop him for !" she scread, turning to run. As she fled, she sent a ssage to Lin Tang through her Communication Talisman.
However, after a few seconds of silence, Lin Tang's voice ca through. "Encai, I'm sorry. Youling is in a life-or-death situation right now. Hold on for a little longer and hide the Communication Talisman… Yan Luoyang probably won't kill you. I'll co save you later!"
Lee Encai faltered, nearly tripping over her own feet as she ran.
I can actually understand. After all, Shen Youling is his wife. And what about ? My position isn't legitimate. Besides, Yan Luoyang is just trying to capture , not kill . So what difference does it make if I'm rescued sooner or later? But… why does it still hurt so much…? She clutched her chest, her expression pained and confused.
The next mont, Gu Zicheng scread and collapsed, rolling on the ground as his body beca covered in all sorts of insects. His own Gu insects were devoured in an instant. He was no match at all.
Yan Luoyang sneered disdainfully. "Low-level trash like you dares to covet my prey? Die!"
Gu Zicheng wanted to beg for rcy, but when he opened his mouth, insects sward into his throat. Lee Encai turned and saw the horrifying scene, a wave of nausea and terror washing over her. Her first instinct was to keep running, but she clenched her teeth and abruptly turned back. Screaming, she began stomping on the insects, fighting back her disgust to brush the creatures off Gu Zicheng's body.
An invisible aura emanated from her, causing the aggressive corpse insects to slow slightly. Still, they bit her hands repeatedly, drawing blood. The scent of her blood was like a delicacy that agitated the insects, yet it also acted like a poison that made them uneasy.
"Quick, use the technique I taught you!" Gu Zicheng managed to gasp, reminding her urgently.
"Oh, right!" Lee Encai followed his instructions, using her own blood to draw a pattern on his body while mimicking the sounds of insects. "SHUSH... CHITTER... SQUEAK... HISS..."
Imdiately, all the corpse insects retreated. Gu Zicheng seized the chance to leap to his feet, grabbing Lee Encai and fleeing.
"Hmph!" Yan Luoyang's expression darkened as he hurriedly led his insect army in hot pursuit. Besides Insect Control, he was also a master of the Corpse Heart Technique and a powerful martial artist. He was far beyond Gu Zicheng's level. They couldn't outrun him; there was no escape.
Before long, Yan Luoyang caught up to them again. He sent Gu Zicheng flying with a kick and grabbed Lee Encai's wrist. "I told you. You can't escape!"
"Pah!" Lee Encai was about to curse him when Yan Luoyang's phone rang. It was Mu Fan.
"This is bad! That bastard Lin Tang has gotten even stronger. He defeated Yan Renjie and those four idiots with a single sword strike… and he can fly! You're probably not going to escape!"
"What?" Yan Luoyang's face paled. He glanced at Lee Encai, who was still resisting stubbornly.
"Bitch, you forced my hand! Since I can't wait for you to fully mature, I'll just 'use' you now! It's better than letting that dog bastard Lin Tang have you for free!"
