Chapter 131: Lin Langtian, You Got Me Killed!
Lin Fan released his spiritual power and immediately sensed that Qing Tan was currently engaged in a fight.
The person fighting her was someone Lin Fan vaguely recognized—it was Lin Feng, the one he had taught a lesson back when he was in the Flame City Lin Family.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan activated Taiqing Soaring Steps and rushed toward the location where Qing Tan and Lin Feng were fighting.
…
"Today, I'll show you branch family people what true clan martial arts are!"
At that moment, in an open area on the streets of Lin City, Lin Feng stood proudly in the air. His movements were sharp and fluid like dragon and serpent, and his fists left countless afterimages behind. Fierce energy surged from the sky like a storm.
"Dragon Elephant Tyrant Fist!"
With a low shout, a surge of Yuan Power formed beneath Lin Feng's fists, vaguely taking the form of a dragon and an elephant.
An oppressive wave of dominance erupted—one could even hear a dragon's roar and an elephant's bellow.
"Great Wilderness Ocean-Splitting Seal!"
Facing Lin Feng's overbearing fist technique, Qing Tan's expression turned serious. With a cry, her hands formed seals, and a flood of Yuan Power surged behind her, transforming into a giant wave!
A shining seal burst forth from the wave, slashing through the sea like a blade!
BOOM!
The moment the two attacks clashed, an explosive sound rang out.
Lin Feng's body was sent flying like a broken kite.
PFFT!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and tumbled back a dozen meters before finally managing to stabilize himself, face pale as paper.
"How… how is this possible?"
Lin Feng was in disbelief. He couldn't accept that he had lost to such an unremarkable-looking girl like Qing Tan!
And it wasn't just him—many onlookers were stunned as well.
"Lin Feng is considered a top talent in the clan, and yet he lost to a little girl from the Flame City branch?"
"She doesn't even look eighteen, and she's already at advanced Spirit Creation Stage?! That's insane!"
"Is the Flame City branch full of monsters?!"
…
"Outrageous! How dare you fight in Lin City! I'll personally apprehend you and send you to the ancestral hall for punishment!"
Suddenly, a thunderous voice boomed from above.
A giant palm fell from the sky, reaching down toward Qing Tan!
The hand radiated a mix of pale yellow and crimson light, covered in ancient runes, carrying a pressure like the will of the heavens!
"That's Lin Langtian's move!"
Many in the crowd recognized the aura instantly and became visibly unsettled.
Even those from other forces looked toward the sky with grim faces—Lin Langtian's power was not to be underestimated.
Qing Tan's face changed drastically. She could feel herself locked in place and powerless to resist the terrifying hand.
"You're the one who's being outrageous!"
Suddenly, another shout echoed from high above.
From the distance, a dazzling purple sword light cut through the sky—sharp and unstoppable!
Everyone watching felt a sting in their eyes just from seeing it!
The purple sword light tore through the air and smashed straight into the giant hand!
BOOM!
With an explosive shockwave, the hand was obliterated by the purple sword light, disintegrating into dust!
The sword light didn't stop—it continued surging forward toward Lin Langtian, who had been hidden nearby!
The spectators turned pale, overwhelmed by what they were seeing.
"What terrifying sword light! Who is that?!"
"Even though it wasn't aimed at me, I still felt like I was going to die!"
"Wait… isn't this the same guy who destroyed the Wang Clan? Is this Lin Fan from Flame City?!"
"But I heard he always uses a giant hand in battle, not a sword…"
…
"Hold your hand!"
Another shout came from above, filled with helplessness.
A massive silver phoenix illusion descended, wrapping itself around Lin Langtian and pulling him aside at lightning speed.
"That aura… it's the Clan Leader!"
The crowd recognized the power immediately and exclaimed in shock.
But even Lin Fan's intervention didn't change the outcome.
Screech—!
The phoenix illusion let out a pained cry as the purple sword light sliced it in half!
Then, the sword light struck Lin Langtian directly!
"Lin Langtian, you got me killed!"
A curse echoed from within Lin Langtian's body.
A mysterious force surged forth, forcibly teleporting him several hundred meters away.
RUMBLE—!
A deafening blast erupted where Lin Langtian had been standing.
The sky split open from the sheer power of the sword light!
Fortunately, he had been in mid-air—otherwise, the collateral damage might have slaughtered half the city.
PFFT!
Even after being moved to safety, Lin Langtian was heavily wounded. He spat blood and crashed to the ground beside the Clan Leader, Lin Fan.
Almost at the same moment, Lin Fan landed beside Qing Tan.
All of this had happened in a mere instant.
As the crowd caught up with what had just happened, they looked at Lin Fan with eyes filled with awe and fear.
"Brother Lin Fan, you're here!"
Qing Tan smiled brightly and instinctively held onto Lin Fan's arm.
"You're not hurt?" Lin Fan asked, giving her a nod.
"I'm fine! That Lin Feng guy was asking for it—I beat him up good. Then Lin Langtian showed up and almost got me, but thankfully you came in time," she said cheerfully.
As Lin Fan and Qing Tan chatted, the crowd began whispering among themselves.
"So that's the legendary genius from Flame City?"
"I heard he destroyed the entire Wang Clan by himself… judging by that sword strike, I believe it now!"
"That one sword not only broke Lin Langtian's attack—it even shattered the Clan Leader's Sky Phoenix Seal! That's terrifying!"
…
Lin Fan ignored the murmurs. After comforting Qing Tan, he looked toward Lin Fan and Lin Langtian in the distance and asked calmly:
"Clan Leader, are you planning to protect Lin Langtian?"
Lin Fan landed nearby with the injured Lin Langtian and gave a bitter smile.
"The seed selection is just around the corner. Can't you two hold back until then?"
Lin Langtian, though inwardly terrified, forced a hard expression.
"I'm an enforcer elder. I was following clan rules. What did I do wrong?"
