"You are Liu Cheng?"
Looking at the young man standing by the door, Lin Ruotian narrowed his eyes.
Given how arrogant the other party was, Zhang Xuan thought that he was formidable. Yet, to think that he was only a Tongxuan realm primary stage fellow. With such strength, there would be a whole bunch of them in the courtyard.
How dare he come to find trouble with the Lin Family? Was there something wrong with his head?
"Are you the head of the Lin family?"
Instead of answering the other party's question, Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and looked at Zhang Xuan impassively.
"Teacher, he's the head of the Lin Clan, Lin Ruotian!" Lu Chong clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Ruotian must have played a key role when Lin Long sent people to annihilate their entire family!
If not, how can a married woman know where the Qu Family is? How could he kill them all without letting a single one go?
Over the past two years, even though he hadn't managed to exact vengeance on the Lin Clan, he had still managed to engrave all of the reputable figures in the Lin Clan into his mind, not daring to forget them.
"Lin Ruotian?"
Hearing that he was indeed the person in charge, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. "Since you are the clan head, things will be easier. My student is Qu Chong. Two years ago, you killed 137 members of his family. Do you still remember that? "
"Qu Chong? That little bastard that got away? Not dead yet? "
Lin Ruotian was stunned.
Two years ago, a little fellow escaped. How could he not know? However, that fellow's strength was too low, and his talent wasn't much, so he didn't think much of it. Who would have thought that he would actually become a hidden danger!
In less than two years, he had already reached Zongshi realm!
However …
So what if he ran away? Coming here today was equivalent to walking right into a trap. Don't even think about leaving!
Killing intent flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he gestured for the elders to surround Zhang Xuan and Lu Chong, sealing off their paths of retreat.
"It's good that you're not dead. Today, I'll send you to the Yellow Springs to reunite with your family!"
The corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile.
"Killed a hundred and thirty-seven? Patriarch Lin, what's going on? "
"That's right. I've heard of the Qu Family before. But they moved away and I didn't pay much attention to them. From your tone, it seems like you have killed all of them?"
"Killing is forbidden in King City, not to mention wiping out an entire clan. We must make things clear today!"
…
The influential figures in the surroundings overheard their conversation and turned their gazes over.
Although the Qu Family wasn't considered a famous family, they weren't considered weak either. They only knew that the Qu Family had moved away. They didn't expect that the Qu Family had been killed in such a cruel manner.
It was no wonder why Zhang Xuan's teacher came knocking on their door. No one would be able to forgive such a grudge.
Today, they were dragged here by their juniors, and they had already made up their minds. They were only here to support the Lin Clan and act as mediators. They had no intention of going against the Lin Clan.
However, when they heard about this tragedy, their faces turned ugly.
Since the Lin Family could exterminate the Qu Family quietly, they could also exterminate the Qu Family.
Looks like I have to be more careful in the future!
"The Lin Clan doesn't need to explain themselves to you!"
Waving his hands grandly, Lin Ruotian interrupted the discussions of the crowd and sneered coldly, "The Qu Clan colluded with the enemy and attempted to assault the crown prince's consort... If you don't believe me, you can investigate the matter in Xuanyuan Kingdom!"
"You … Nonsense!"
Not expecting the other party to distort the truth, Lu Chong's body trembled in anger.
"Alright, if there are other ways to resolve this matter, then cut the crap!"
Patting his student's shoulder, Zhang Xuan lifted his eyelids and looked at Lin Ruotian, "Since you admit that the Qu Clan's destruction is related to your Lin Clan, then fine. I'll give you two choices now. First, hand over the culprit and commit suicide! Second, the entire Lin Clan will be buried with you! "
"Buried with you? You want our Lin Clan to be buried with you? With just the two of you? Haha! "
As though he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Lin Ruotian looked at Zhang Xuan with pity.
Where in the world did Qu Chong find such a lunatic teacher? If the other party had been hiding, he would have been oblivious to the matter. Perhaps, he might still have been able to live on. However, now that the other party had appeared, he had cut off his escape route.
A Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator and a Zongshi realm intermediate stage cultivator... Just like that, the Lin Clan would be buried with him?
Even if that fellow had used some kind of method to conceal his cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to injure the Third Elder.
Even so, given his young age and in Tianwu Kingdom, how powerful could he possibly be?
So what if he was a Zongshi realm pinnacle cultivator?
He could easily kill a Half-Zhizun expert like him!
Lin Ruotian wasn't the only one with such an expression. The crowd who had come to assist Zhang Xuan were perplexed as well.
Asking the Lin Clan to be buried with him... Even the Tianwu royal family didn't dare to say such words. As a mere Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator, where did his confidence come from?
Mo Tianxue was perplexed as well.
Guild Leader Liu... Where did his confidence come from?
He turned to look at his daughter.
"I... don't know either!" Mo Yu shook her head.
She had witnessed Zhang Xuan's breakthrough on the day of the master teacher examination, and it had only been six to seven days since then. Given such a short period of time, it was unlikely that he had yet to reinforce his Zongshi realm primary stage cultivation. Yet, here he was, boasting shamelessly about destroying the Lin Clan...
Could it be that... he had brought the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast here?
At this thought, she couldn't help but look up. The sky was clear, and there wasn't a single savage beast in sight.
No Howling Firmament Beast? What right did he have to say such words? Wasn't he afraid that Lin Ruotian would fly into a rage? Attack him directly?
...
"You mean that... you aren't going to accept these two options?" Ignoring the bizarre gazes from the crowd, Zhang Xuan turned to Lin Ruotian.
"Accept your head! Lad, since you want to die, I'll grant your wish! "
Before Lin Ruotian could say a word, an elder bellowed furiously and walked out of the crowd.
Boom!
The moment he walked out of the crowd, his aura immediately burst forth as though gasoline had been ignited. Violent zhenqi swept across the area, reminiscent of a raging gale.
Zongshi realm advanced stage!
"It's the Eleventh Elder of the Lin Clan, Lin Hu!"
"I heard that he specializes in fist arts, and he is known as the Steelfang Tiger!"
"Indeed. He has a fiery temper, an invincible steel arm, and a Zongshi realm advanced stage cultivation. Even a Zongshi realm pinnacle expert would find it hard to defeat him..."
...
Upon seeing Lin Hu walk out of the crowd, the crowd lowered their voices.
Those who were able to become elders of the Lin Clan were all reputable figures in Tianwu Royal City.
Even though Lin Hu's reputation couldn't be compared to First Elder Lin Tao and the others, he was still a formidable figure whom even Zongshi realm pinnacle experts wouldn't dare to offend.
The moment he appeared, Mu Xueqing and the others clenched their fists tightly.
"Teacher... will he be fine?"
A student asked.
"He should be... fine. In truth, we have no idea how strong teacher is..."
Mu Xueqing said.
Even though she spoke of her confidence, she was still in a daze.
However, recalling how her teacher had helped her reach Tongxuan realm and Lu Chong reach Zongshi realm in just a few days... How could her strength possibly be inferior to his students?
"There's no need to worry. Liu laoshi's strength is definitely beyond Tongxuan realm pinnacle!"
Apothecary Mu said calmly with a deep gaze.
He had never seen Liu laoshi in action before, but he had experienced pill forging together with the other party. To be able to guide him to forging a grade-4 pill, and to remain calm in the face of a cauldron explosion, how could a Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator possibly be able to do so?
Furthermore, the means he used to prevent cauldrons from exploding during pill forging were all compatible with his current cultivation. If his cultivation hadn't reached Zongshi realm, it was impossible for him to guide him in such detail!
"A fight is probably about to break out..."
Zhao Ya and the others finally arrived. Upon seeing the situation before them, they knew that a battle was about to break out.
...
"Die!"
Elder Lin Hu walked out from the crowd and roared. Without any hesitation, he charged straight at Zhang Xuan.
Didn't you want our Lin Clan to apologize and bury us with you?
Fine, let me see what kind of strength you have!
"Teacher..."
Seeing the other party charging at him, Lu Chong clenched his fists tightly.
"There's no need for that!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath. Blocking Lu Chong's path, his legs suddenly moved.
His arms were still clasped behind his back as he slammed his body forward.
Before Lin Hu's steel fist could land on him, Zhang Xuan had already dived into the other party's embrace.
Peng!
The sound of a flying boulder echoed in the air. Before the Zongshi realm advanced stage expert of the Lin Clan could react, he was already sent flying. While he was still in the air, blood spurted from his mouth. Under the impact of the collision, his dantian exploded, rendering him a cripple.
Putong!
After flying more than ten meters, he crashed onto the ground. It was hard to tell whether he was still alive or not.
His dantian had been destroyed, and most of his bones had been crippled. Even if he were to be saved, his life would be over.
"What?"
"A Zongshi realm advanced stage expert was sent flying?"
"How did he do it?"
...
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They thought that they would have to fight it out, and they could use this opportunity to see how strong Guild Leader Liu was. Never in their dreams did they expect that the Steel-armed Tiger would be sent flying before he could even come close...
How powerful must his physical body and reaction speed be?
"His strength..."
Mo Yu was in a daze. She couldn't wrap her head around the situation.
He had just reached Zongshi realm primary stage a few days ago, and yet, he was able to send a Zongshi realm advanced stage expert flying in a single move...
How in the world did this fellow cultivate?
"Teacher..."
The one who was the most shocked of the crowd was Lu Chong.
In fact, he wasn't just shocked, but frenzied.
He had just been taught to look for flaws in a battle, and not to use his body to ram into the other party. Yet... with a single move, his teacher sent a person flying!
Are you for real?
Where are the flaws you spoke of?
Where are the techniques you spoke of?
What's the difference between that and my brute strength?
"Lin Hu..."
Lin Ruotian and the others didn't expect Lin Hu to be crippled before he could even withstand half a move. Their complexions turned awful.
Even though Lin Hu wasn't the strongest in the Lin Clan, he wasn't weak either. To be able to defeat his opponent in a single move, it seemed like they had underestimated this fellow!
"Looks like you do have some capabilities. No wonder you are so arrogant. However... to dare to act so arrogantly in the Lin Clan with just this bit of capability, I think you have come to the wrong place!"
Glancing at Lin Hu, who was lying on the ground, Lin Ruotian narrowed his eyes and glared at Zhang Xuan coldly. The disdain he had previously had vanished.
Even though he was capable of crippling Lin Hu in a single clash, he couldn't possibly do it as easily as the other party did.
However, even though he was inferior to the other party in this aspect, he didn't think that he was weaker than the other party.
Some people specialized in physical strength, while others specialized in battle techniques. He belonged to the latter.
"Why? Are you unable to make a choice between the two?"
After knocking into Lin Hu and severely injuring him, Zhang Xuan seemed to have done something insignificant. With his hands still behind his back, he chuckled lightly.
"Since you can't make a choice, then it's simple! Just like that...
"I'll make you make a choice!"
After which, Zhang Xuan took a step forward. Without holding back, his Zongshi realm pinnacle cultivation burst forth!
