Chapter 487: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
"Great Flaming Feather Sword!"
As Lin Langtian stared at the colossal flaming feather sword hovering in the sky, a sharp murderous intent surged in his eyes.
This weapon was indeed deserving of being called a high-grade Pure Yuan Treasure. If he relied solely on his own strength, he might still struggle against an opponent at Death Profound Realm Great Completion. But now, with this sword in hand, he was confident he could suppress even Elder Mo Sha!
"Damn it!"
The increasingly scorching and violent energy fluctuations in the sky were clearly sensed by Elder Mo Sha, whose face finally revealed a hint of panic. He had already realized that the energy condensed within this flaming feather sword was powerful enough to severely injure him.
Buzz! Buzz!
Within mere moments, the gigantic flaming feather sword grew even larger, flames tumbling violently on its surface. Faintly, it seemed as if streams of boiling magma were dripping from the sword itself.
Lin Langtian's eyes blazed intensely as he observed this massive flaming sword. Although his complexion turned slightly pale, excitement clearly shone in his gaze. The power of this flaming feather sword had far surpassed his expectations.
"It's about time."
Seeing the slightly unstable fluctuations in the sword, Lin Langtian exhaled slowly, then spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which flew swiftly into the gigantic flaming feather sword.
Boom!
Absorbing Lin Langtian's essence blood, the flaming sword trembled violently. Crimson flames erupted, cascading downward and instantly covering an area of thousands of feet. The epicenter of this inferno was none other than Elder Mo Sha himself.
As the space around him became sealed, Elder Mo Sha's expression turned exceedingly grim. He tried to shout defiantly, but before he could speak, Lin Langtian changed his hand seals once more. The colossal sword immediately descended from the heavens, crashing toward Elder Mo Sha with an earth-shattering momentum.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the gigantic flaming feather sword slashed downward, even the surrounding air exploded, generating thunderous booms like fireworks. Elder Mo Sha desperately tried to escape the attack's range, but the crimson light around him sealed every path of retreat.
At this moment, he had nowhere left to run!
"I refuse to believe that I, a dignified elder, would lose to a junior like you!"
"Demonic Shark Swallows the Heavens!"
Elder Mo Sha roared furiously. Black qi surged violently from his body, rapidly condensing into a monstrous demonic shark nearly a thousand feet in length.
Roar!
As the demonic shark formed, it let out a terrifying howl. A wave of black qi surged forth, and the enormous shark charged upward, its maw wide open as if aiming to devour the heavens themselves. It tore through the fabric of space, fiercely clashing with the descending flaming feather sword!
Boom!
At the moment of collision, it felt as if heaven and earth were on the brink of collapse. Terrifying energy waves spread outward uncontrollably, causing the ground below to shatter into pieces.
Lin Langtian quickly retreated, his magic armor emerging around him to shield against the devastating shockwaves. Those witnessing the scene turned pale with fright, hastily activating their Yuan Power defenses. Even Elder Xue Sha, who was fiercely battling the Liu brothers, ceased his attack, staring at Lin Langtian's shocking display with a grim expression.
Atop the stone pavilion, Ao Xuan's face changed drastically as he watched the scene unfold. Even he was deeply shaken by Lin Langtian's ferocious attack.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Within the blazing inferno, the gigantic demonic shark issued mournful cries as its body began to crack and burst apart. In mere moments, it was crushed entirely by the flaming feather sword. The black qi dissipated rapidly, incinerated by the extreme heat.
Puff!
When his demonic shark was destroyed, Elder Mo Sha's face turned pale instantly, coughing up a large mouthful of blood as his aura weakened dramatically, clearly sustaining heavy injuries.
Whoosh!
Seeing this opportunity, Lin Langtian's eyes flashed sharply, controlling the massive flaming sword to rise again, preparing to deliver a lethal blow.
"You brat, remember this well! If I don't avenge today's humiliation, I swear I won't be human!" Elder Mo Sha shrieked furiously. Without hesitation, he spat out another mouthful of essence blood onto his palms, summoning black qi and ripping open a spatial tear. Immediately, he dashed into the void and escaped.
He never expected to repeatedly suffer such humiliation from Lin Langtian. Initially wary of Lin Langtian's powerful flaming lotus, he was completely caught off guard when Lin Langtian produced yet another terrifying weapon—this high-grade Pure Yuan flaming feather sword—forcing him into retreat. This junior seemed to possess endless tricks, deeply humiliating Elder Mo Sha.
Lin Langtian watched Elder Mo Sha escape, suppressing a grunt as a trickle of blood slipped from his lips. Wiping it away casually, he turned his cold gaze toward Elder Xue Sha.
Facing Lin Langtian's icy stare and witnessing the power of the flaming feather sword, Elder Xue Sha's face darkened further. The Liu brothers were already tough opponents, and now Lin Langtian appeared even more dangerous. Under these circumstances, retreat was his only viable option.
"Brat, my Blood Demon Shark Clan won't forget this!"
Elder Xue Sha hissed venomously, retreating to Sha Li's side, grabbing him, and swiftly fleeing the scene.
This confrontation had undoubtedly caused significant damage to the Blood Demon Shark Clan's prestige.
With the departure of the Blood Demon Shark Clan, the bustling city suddenly grew quiet. Countless astonished gazes fell upon Lin Langtian, wary and uncertain. The ruthless aura emanating from him was enough to intimidate even seasoned experts accustomed to bloody battles. No one imagined that Lin Langtian could force back a Death Profound Realm Great Completion expert, nearly killing Elder Mo Sha.
His overwhelming strength and brutality warned everyone present: although young, Lin Langtian was not someone to be underestimated.
Due to Lin Langtian's decisive action, nobody else dared make a move. Those who previously coveted the black token reluctantly suppressed their greed, aware they might not have what it took to challenge him.
After this, Lin Langtian swept his sleeve, absorbing the giant flaming feather sword back into his body. Although it consumed immense Yuan Power, this Pure Yuan Treasure was an undeniably powerful asset.
Turning to Liu Da and his brothers, he confirmed that despite Elder Xue Sha's strength, the trio's Three Beast Yuan Transfer Technique had allowed them to hold their own.
"Hehe, this friend truly possesses remarkable strength. No wonder you obtained the third black token." Ao Xuan, smiling amicably from the stone pavilion, gently applauded.
Despite his outward politeness, the ridicule in Ao Xuan's eyes had vanished, replaced with caution. Even he lacked confidence in defeating Elder Mo Sha, yet Lin Langtian had achieved precisely that. Such strength couldn't be taken lightly.
In the pavilion, the red-armored Tang Xinlian gently caressed the sword in her slender hands, raising her beautiful eyes to observe Lin Langtian. A subtle surprise flickered in her gaze. Lin Langtian's mastery of flames was exceptional; the flaming feather sword he wielded seemed even more fearsome than her own Fire Phoenix Spear.
No wonder he could establish such a powerful force from scratch. This Lin Langtian was extraordinary indeed.
Lin Langtian lightly patted Mu Lingshan, who was supporting him, and glanced coldly at the smiling Ao Xuan. This smiling tiger was clearly dangerous. If not for previously witnessing his connection with Sha Li, Lin Langtian might have considered his smile genuine.
"Ao Xuan, I have no interest in competing with you. However, if you provoke me again, even if you're the prince of the Deep Sea Dragon Tribe, I'll make you pay dearly."
Ao Xuan narrowed his eyes, his smile deepening. "Brother Langtian, you're mistaken. I never targeted you; I merely invited Sha Li along for company. It was unrelated to your personal grudge."
His smile then turned colder. "I admit you're strong, but acting arrogant before my Deep Sea Dragon Tribe? You're still far from qualified."
Ao Xuan raised his hand. Instantly, numerous powerful figures emerged in the sky, radiating imposing auras. Three particularly formidable warriors stood behind Ao Xuan, each emanating the formidable presence of Small Success Death Profound Realm experts.
"It's the Three Dragon Generals from the Deep Sea Dragon Tribe!"
"Looks like Ao Xuan intends to seize the token by force."
Upon Ao Xuan's subtle signal, the Three Dragon Generals instantly surged forward, launching a fierce attack. Liu Da's group immediately blocked them, igniting another intense battle.
Ao Xuan himself exuded a terrifying half-step Death Profound Realm Great Completion aura, clearly intending to strike personally.
At this tense moment, Tang Xinlian stepped forward, her dignified voice breaking the stalemate.
"Both of you, we are here for the Reincarnation Cave Mansion. Fighting now only wastes our strength. We must cooperate to open it."
Ao Xuan hesitated, then smiled again. "Fire Fairy is right. I'll hold back for now."
Tang Xinlian turned to Lin Langtian. "Brother Langtian, in three days, the devouring force of the sea will weaken. That will be our best chance to enter the cave mansion."
Lin Langtian nodded. "Thanks for informing me. I'll be there."
With that, he left quickly with his companions. The crowd remained silent, deeply aware that this journey to the cave mansion would be extremely dangerous…
