NOVPUBLin Tian clenched his fist, his steel teeth gritted.
Xu Si continued arrogantly, "Kid, I'm here today for no other reason but to ask you to come with us. Our Prince, he wants to see you."
The Prince, Huang Batian!
This old bugger really is the type to bear grudges, unable to wait even a day; he just had to send someone to capture Lin Tian in the middle of the night.
"Come with you, on what grounds?" Lin Tian stared at Xu Si and demanded.
Xu Si clenched his fist, directing it towards Lin Tian, said, "On this account."
"That? Hmph! What if I refuse to go with you?"
"Then I'll have no choice but to beat you to a pulp and take you, kid. Don't blame me; if there's anyone to blame, it's yourself for being blind and daring to offend the Prince. I see you have some abilities, so I advise you kindly, once you meet the Prince, just admit your mistake obediently. Maybe, if our Prince is in a good mood, he might spare your life?"
"You won't take me away. I refuse to apologize to Huang Batian; he's not worthy."
Lin Tian extended a thumbs-up, pointed it to the ground, and displayed the disdain of a king to Xu Si.
"Damn it, to belittle me? If I don't show you my power today, you'll never know how many eyes the King Horse really has!" Xu Si bellowed in rage; his feet stamped the ground like a Fierce Tiger. His body shot towards Lin Tian like an arrow loosed from its string, thrusting a fist straight at him.
"Pitiful trick!"
Lin Tian sneered and without using a shred of superpower, threw a punch that met Xu Si's fist squarely.
Boom!
A muffled thud followed by a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Lin Tian remained unmoved, but Xu Si was sent flying, clutching his fist, his face twisted in pain. His fist, at this moment, was shattered.
"Your strength is so-so, but against me, you're not enough!" Lin Tian judged.
Xu Si was indeed strong; among Condensing Mirror masters, he was upper-middle tier. Too bad he met Lin Tian, an existence monstrous in capability.
"Damn it, get him, kill him; no need to take him alive, only dead!" Xu Si roared near madness, his fist shattered, causing him heart-wrenching pain, and his hatred for Lin Tian peaked.
More than twenty Condensing Mirror masters reacted at almost the same time, weapons in hand, charging at Lin Tian.
"Humph, a bunch of garbage."
He activated Subdue the Heavens, and the Subduing Dragon Zither emerged resplendently.
"Zing, zing, zing...!"
The sound of the zither was melodious yet subdued. Slowly, time seemed to crawl, the whole world appeared to be restrained.
This was precisely one of the three divine tunes of the Subduing Dragon Zither, Calming the Storm.
With an unmatched power to bind.
Stabilize Heaven and Earth, Calm the Winds and Waves, Trap Immortals, Trap Gods, Trap Myriads of Spirits!
As the zither sounded, everyone's movements slowed to a crawl, filled with panic, hesitation, fear, and disbelief.
Eventually, slowly, their bodies were entirely restrained, unable to move at all.
At this moment, Li Linglong arrived with her experts in hustle. Little did she expect to see such a mesmerizing scene.
Lin Tian stood at the forefront, holding the Subduing Dragon Zither, while in front of him, forty-odd Condensing Mirror masters were completely immobilized.
Even the people under Wang Yuan were restrained.
Li Linglong had intended to come to Lin Tian's aid, but who would have thought he'd be so strong? Alone with a zither, he had single-handedly restrained over forty Condensing Mirror masters.
She didn't need to assist at all; Li Linglong now felt quite superfluous.
She stayed out of sight, letting her subordinates hide to the side; she wanted to see how Lin Tian would handle the situation.
Actually, she hoped Lin Tian would kill this group of people. If so, Lin Tian and Huang Batian would be locked in an irrevocable conflict, and she could then conveniently reap the benefits of their strife. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Lin Tian swaggered through the crowd, coming directly to Xu Si's side.
Xu Si was also restrained, and at this moment, he was clutching his fist, shouting in pain with a grimace, his expression ferocious.
Lin Tian sneered, reached out, and snapped his fingers.
The Restraining Force in Xu Si's surrounding space vanished, and Xu Si, moved.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Tian.
He was so frightened that he scrambled backward, rolling and crawling away. Lin Tian had smashed his fist with a single punch just moments before, sending shivers through his soul. He was utterly terrified of Lin Tian.
"You… how did you get here? Where are the people, somebody help..."
He shouted loudly, but after a quick glance around, cold sweat started pouring down his face.
Because he saw that all of his subordinates, without exception, were immobilized, unable to move an inch, as if Sun Wukong had cast a binding spell on them.
How… how is this possible?
Could it be that they were all immobilized by the sound of his zither?
Xu Si's cold sweat soaked through his clothes in the blink of an eye. To immobilize everyone with the sound of a zither was an outrageously powerful ability.
Lin Tian took step after step toward him, and with each footstep, it was as if he heard the tolling of the bell of death.
Having followed Huang Batian all these years, Xu Si had long learned how to sail with the wind, and he was quick to admit his mistakes once he realized he couldn't win.
To save his own life, he was willing to give up everything.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed forcefully to the ground while shouting at Lin Tian.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I was wrong, I dare not offend you. Please spare my life, Grandpa, I won't dare to do it again."
Bang, bang, bang...!
His forehead hit the ground hard, and it wasn't long before it was broken open.
He was genuinely afraid, truly kowtowing!
Lin Tian said, "You injured two of my people, so I break your two arms. Do you think that's fair?"
To have two arms broken.
Xu Si shivered in fright.
He didn't answer Lin Tian's question but continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it anymore. It was all Batian, oh, no, Huang Batian who told me to do this, it has nothing to do with me, nothing at all..."
"Now you think of divorcing yourself from the blame. It's too late!"
Lin Tian said angrily as he effortlessly drew the Godslayer Sword.
"Since you won't answer my question, I can only kill you!"
The Godslayer Sword's cold light flashed, bringing a chill to Xu Si's neck.
A question, what question.
Oh, right!
"Fair, it's totally fair, please don't kill me, I beg you, don't kill me..."
Lin Tian sneered, the Godslayer Sword in his hand paused for a moment, and he said with a laugh, "Very well, even you think it's fair. It seems you are someone who knows the current affairs. Let your two arms be exchanged for your life!"
Two flashes of cold light, and then, two streams of blood gushed forth.
Lin Tian severed Xu Si's arms, and Xu Si lay on the ground screaming and rolling in agony.
After that, the sound of the zither resounded; the melody was fierce, slicing through the sky, and even Heaven and Earth shook in response!
This was one of Subduing Dragon Zither's three divine tunes, Calming the Storm!
Fierce and formidable, its power astonishing!
Chaos in Heaven, chaos on Earth, Subdue the Heavens, Slay immortals, Slay demons, Slay all between heaven and hell!
