WDQK—Chapter 87: If You Want to Kill Me, You Can Only Atone for Your Sins with Death!
Before the three men could react, three cold rays instantly pierced through their brows!
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
Immediately afterward, the three men fell on their backs, their lives extinguished in an instant. Their eyes remained wide open, capturing the shock of their final moments.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Seizing the opportunity, Huo'er and Little Flame broke free from their restraints, letting out ferocious growls as they retreated to the side, instinctively sensing the danger.
Only then did the black-clothed youth and his men begin to comprehend the gravity of the situation.
"Hiss!"
They gasped in shock at the sight of the three Perfect Yuan Dan Stage masters lying lifelessly, their expressions transforming as fear coursed through them.
"Who? How dare you kill someone from my Di family?" The black-clothed youth's voice trembled with a mix of fear and anger, his gaze darting into the depths of the forest.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Just as the black-clothed youth's voice faded, the sound of breaking wind echoed through the air. Three figures burst forth from the forest, landing beside Huo'er and Little Flame.
These three figures were none other than Lin Tian, Qingtan, and Lin Dong.
"Huo'er, Little Flame, are you okay?" Qingtan landed and rushed to them, his voice laced with concern.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Both creatures shook their heads in unison, emitting low roars to communicate that they were unharmed.
Lin Tian waved his hand, retrieving three seven-star short swords from the foreheads of the fallen enemies. His movements were precise and fluid, showcasing his mastery.
The young man in black and his men stared in shock at Lin Tian and the others, recognition dawning upon them. They had not anticipated that their assailants would be so young.
"You want to kidnap our companions without recognizing the danger? Why shouldn't I fight back? As for the Di family you mentioned, I'm afraid I haven't heard of it!" Lin Tian's expression was calm, almost dismissive, as he addressed the young man in black.
"You..." The young man in black was taken aback, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go," Lin Tian said casually, turning away from the stunned group.
A flicker of rage crossed the young man's face as he clenched his fist, summoning a green spear that appeared in his grasp. Green light pulsed along its shaft—a clear sign of its quality as a soul treasure.
"Green Light Kills!" he shouted, unleashing the spear. As the green light surged around him, it enveloped the dense forest. From within that eerie glow, countless cold rays, sharp and vicious, shot toward Lin Tian from behind!
It was a desperate attempt to catch Lin Tian off guard.
"Seeking death!" Lin Tian declared, seeming to perceive the attack before it even materialized. Without a hint of hesitation, he struck out with his backhand.
Brilliant Yuanli concentrated in his palm, and dazzling golden light erupted like a solar flare. In seconds, the golden light solidified, transforming into a massive square platform nearly ten feet wide.
With a resounding bang, the golden platform shot forward, crushing the air as it bore down on the spear wielded by the black-clothed youth.
This technique was the seventh-grade martial arts skill of the Wang clan, the Subduing Golden Platform Magic Palm, which Lin Tian had obtained from Wang Yan.
At the initial Qi-Creation Stage, Lin Tian's powers were now several times stronger than when Wang Yan had first attempted this technique.
"Bang!"
The golden platform struck the spear, producing a dull, reverberating sound.
In that instant, the green spear was ripped from the black-clothed youth's grasp, flung aside by the sheer force of the golden platform!
The horrifying momentum of the golden platform continued forward, crashing down upon the black-clothed youth, who watched in terror as it descended.
"Stop!" A loud shout sliced through the panic that gripped the forest.
As the voice rang out, a figure plunged from the sky!
A long-handled broadsword, radiating with sharp Yuanli blade light, collided fiercely with the approaching golden platform.
"Boom!"
The impact generated a deafening roar, unleashing a fearsome Yuanli storm into the surrounding area.
The towering trees surrounding them splintered under the violent force, leaving a vast swath of destruction in its wake.
Several unfortunate Di family guards caught in the blasts were violently hurled back, battered to the ground and gravely wounded.
"Deng deng deng!"
The man who had intervened staggered backward, shock etched across his features as he retreated more than ten steps before finally managing to steady himself.
"Puff!"
He doubled over, expelling a mouthful of blood, his face growing pale.
"Dad!"
"The head of the family!"
The young man in black and the remaining Di family guards gasped in disbelief at the sight of the newcomer, their expressions shifting to one of horror.
The figure that had descended was none other than Di Teng, the head of the Di family. He had set out alone to investigate reports of the Thunder Crystal Beast and had only just returned to find his son had provoked a formidable foe.
Upon his arrival, he witnessed the aftermath of his son's reckless attack on Lin Tian.
At first, Di Teng believed in his son's strength and restrained himself from interfering, hoping to see him succeed. However, he had never anticipated the ferocity of Lin Tian's counterattack.
In a sudden rush of fear for his son, Di Teng dashed down from above, abandoning all caution to save him.
What Di Teng hadn't prepared for was the shocking realization that Lin Tian's retaliatory strike had also inflicted injury upon him.
Taking a deep breath, he clasped his fists, his voice filled with urgency. "My dear little brother, I was wrong in this matter. However, you have already taught him a lesson; please spare his life!"
"He wants to kill me, so he can only atone for his sins with death!" Lin Tian's expression remained unfazed, a chilling calmness accompanying his words.
Without waiting for a response, he charged toward the young man in black, quickly forming a complex seal with his hands.
Suddenly, a large blue handprint materialized in front of him, pulsating with power.
"Boom!"
The handprint expanded, resembling a vast blue curtain, instantly shadowing the black-clothed youth before crashing down from the heavens with terrifying force.
"Dad, save me!" The young man in black felt a paralyzing sense of dread. Panic bubbled within him as he screamed, his voice filled with sheer terror.
Di Teng's heart raced at the sight of Lin Tian's unrelenting advance. Understanding that there was no mercy intended, he rushed to his son's side, brandishing his long knife with a fierce determination.
"Asshole!" he roared, swinging the long knife above his head as he aimed for the descending blue handprint. The blade became infused with terrifying Yuanli, extending into a crashing blade of light that shot toward the handprint.
"Bang!"
The sound that erupted was deafening, shaking the very ground.
Di Teng's Yuanli blade light was obliterated by the sheer force of the blue handprint, yet it did not relent. The handprint pressed down without losing momentum, crashing violently onto Di Teng's son.
"Bang!"
A dull thud reverberated through the air.
In a grotesque display, Di Teng's son was crushed into a mangled heap by the power of the blue handprint.
Shock raced through Di Teng as he felt the impact resonate within him. He watched helplessly, his long knife tumbling from his grip, disbelief etched across his face. He succumbed to the devastation, dying with wide-open eyes.
"The head of the family is dead! Run!" The remaining Di family guards, paralyzed by fear at the horrific scene, shrieked as they scattered in all directions, their terror palpable.
"Go!" Lin Tian commanded, and as if responding to his call, the blue handprint shattered into dozens of smaller blue handprints, targeting the retreating Di family guards...
