Chapter 268 How Do You Want to Die?
Crack!
Crack crack!
As one piece of rubble fell away, stone after stone followed suit.
Indistinctly...
Inside that mountain of rocks, a series of intense rumbling sounds echoed without end, as massive boulders burst apart, scattering in all directions, or else falling and smashing into the ground.
Boom!
With a loud noise, rocks pierced through the air.
Two figures shot up from the midst of the stone debris.
In the blink of an eye.
The two figures were now suspended in midair, Little Lin still transformed into a hundred yards in size, his body shimmering with golden light, his head crowned with dragon horns, his dragon whiskers fluttering, his dragon scales dazzling with brilliant light, emitting an unparalleled majesty.
A pair of golden wings grew from his back, stirring up gusts of wind with their slight quiver.
Below his belly, his four claws reached into the void, creating ripples in the air.
The aura of the Beast King seeped out.
It made all of the surviving beasts around them kneel on the ground, quivering in fear.
A sixth-rank Beast King!
Comparable to the human Dharma Manifestation Realm!
Above Little Lin's head, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged between two dragon horns.
The power of Wind Thunder circulated around his body, obscuring his features.
The ninth lightning strike, bolstered by the likes of Yang Jin and others, held a power that was dozens of times stronger than a normal ninth lightning strike; had he not cultivated the Wind Thunder Holy Body and swallowed the majority of the lightning's power, that recent strike would have sufficed to erase both him and Little Lin from this world.
Even so...
The Wind Thunder power inside him was still violent beyond measure, hindering the condensation of the Martial Dao Divine Fruit.
Xiao Yi was exerting his entire strength to suppress the tumultuous power of Wind Thunder, enabling the Wind Thunder Holy Body to officially step into the fourth realm, and in turn, to solidify the Martial Dao Divine Fruit.
"He... he's not dead?"
"Impossible! Such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation, and they still didn't die?"
The smug expressions on the faces of Yang Jin and the others abruptly solidified.
Each of them stared dumbfounded at the person and beast hovering in the sky.
Dongfang Kuang clenched his fists tightly with a flicker of excitement in the depth of his eyes, silently breathing a sigh of relief, "I knew it... With a talent far surpassing Xiao Tianjiao, how could you possibly die under that Heavenly Tribulation?"
The facial expressions of Yang Jin and other prior attackers changed in unison.
Could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by the unrestrained outbreak of twenty Tao Tribulation Realm experts still failed to kill them?
"He has just overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and must be at his weakest, this moment is the best opportunity to eliminate them..." Ye Lun, the chief officer of True Martial Hall in the imperial city, narrowed his eyes and spoke gravely.
Yang Jin's face was expressionless, "This child cannot be spared, he'll be a continuous threat, make your move!"
The crowd mutually exchanged glances, silently forming a consensus.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
One by one, powerful beings soared into the sky, streaking towards Xiao Yi.
In the void.
Little Lin shook his head; the last wave of Heavenly Tribulation had been almost entirely devoured by Xiao Yi, so he wasn't greatly affected. Suddenly seeing Yang Jin and others coming to kill, a hint of cold light passed through his eyes, "Was it not these guys who almost killed my boss just now, still harboring ill intentions, intent on putting me and the boss in danger?"
Little Lin remembered very clearly, it was these people who burst forth with their energy at the critical moment, igniting the Heavenly Tribulation, that led him and Xiao Yi into a life-and-death crisis.
Now...
These people were thinking of attacking Xiao Yi at the critical moment of condensing the Martial Dao Divine Fruit, how could Little Lin not be furious?
Roar!
As Little Lin roared, his huge body flickered with golden light, his mouth forming a purplish-black orb of light that shot towards Yang Jin and the others with a swish. This purplish-black orb was surrounded by lightning, and serpentine bolts churned around it, containing a destructive force.
Yang Jin and the others changed expressions, simultaneously raising their hands to form barriers of Yuan energy.
Hum!
The purplish-black orb struck the Yuan energy barrier, and both forces stuck against each other like a needle to wheat.
Suddenly...
Boom!
Crack!
With a gigantic boom,
the purple-black orb exploded violently, causing cracks to spread over the energy barrier like a spider web, covering the entire barrier.
Crack, a crisp sound echoed.
The energy barrier shattered instantly, and the purple-black energy orb flew into Yang Jin and others, exploding with a loud bang.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless black chains flew out from within the purple-black energy orb.
Yang Jin and the others couldn't have anticipated a second attack hidden inside the black energy orb. In an instant, four Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses were too late to dodge, caught by the black chains, and rendered immobile. As the chains wrapped around them, Little Lin suddenly burst out, opening its huge bloodthirsty maw, and bit into the two nearest True Martial Hall Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses.
Splat! Splat!
Two streams of blood shot out.
Little Lin swallowed both powerhouses whole and chewed with a crunching sound that sent shivers down one's spine.
In the blink of an eye,
both of the True Martial Hall's Tao Tribulation Realm experts stationed in the imperial capital had become a feast in Little Lin's belly. Its pair of cold eyes swept over Yang Jin and the others, "You're next!"
"Damn it!"
Yang Jin's heart skipped a beat, a flash of horror crossed his dark eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "This beast is ferociously cruel. If we let it escape alive, it will become a disaster for the world. Dongfang, Ancestor Nangong, Qi, please assist me in capturing this monster!"
The ten great sects had not stationed any Dharma Manifestation Realm experts in the imperial capital.
With Little Lin having stepped into the Dharma Manifestation Realm, they, who were mere Tao Tribulation Realm experts, could not contend with it.
Yang Jin was hence appealing to the likes of Dongfang Kuang and others.
Among the Dharma Manifestation Realm experts present,
Qi and Dongfang Kuang, both at the Peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, were the most revered. Nangong Shengtian was not far behind, with the cultivation of the sixth level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
If the three of them made a move,
it was certain that Little Lin could only be captured.
However, Qi simply said indifferently, "Your Highness Yang Jin, please forgive me, His Majesty has not permitted this old servant to take action!"
Emperor Qian had only sent him to be present in case the person undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation was from the four great families or one of the ten major sects; only then should he take the opportunity to eradicate them. But clearly, Little Lin was not a powerhouse from either of these forces, and naturally, he would not rashly act and make an enemy for the royal family.
"You wretched old dog... when my elder brother ascends the throne, I will have you executed!"
Yang Jin glared fiercely at Qi, deeply dissatisfied. Even as a prince, Qi did not take him seriously at all, and he thought maliciously to himself, then turned to look at Dongfang Kuang, "Dongfang, you..."
Dongfang Kuang said with an expression of difficulty, "Your Highness Yang Jin, please forgive me, I have recently encountered a problem with my cultivation and really should not exert myself!"
"You..."
Yang Jin's eyes were filled with ruthless venom, a problem with cultivation? As if he was trying to fool ghosts!
He could only turn to Nangong Shengtian.
At this moment...
The twenty-two Tao Tribulation Realm experts from the ten great sects had already lost three more members in the battle against Little Lin. Tie Yun of the Kuangdao Sect had been bitten in half by Little Lin, with his upper body falling to the ground, his hands struggling to crawl forward as a trail of blood was dragged behind him. If no one from the Dharma Manifestation Realm stepped in to suppress Little Lin soon, all these people might be killed by it.
Nangong Shengtian narrowed his eyes, having also played a part in luring the Heavenly Tribulation earlier, and with a gleam flashing in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Kill it, the beast's corpse belongs to the Nangong Family!"
This was the corpse of a rank-six Beast King.
Every part of it was a treasure!
Yang Jin nodded, "As long as Ancestor Nangong is willing to make a move and kill this beast, its corpse is all yours!" Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
"Good!"
Nangong Shengtian burst into laughter, leaping into the air. He slapped down from above, and a huge energy palm descended like a mountain peak, shaking heaven and earth with his cold voice, "You demon, surrender now!"
Boom!
The massive peak slammed hard onto Little Lin's body.
Little Lin, being a novice at the sixth rank, how could it be a match for Ancestor Nangong of the Dharma Manifestation Realm with six levels of cultivation?
Sputter!
Little Lin trembled all over, crushed by the energy palm and fell with a crash into the Great Liang Mountain. The massive energy palm in the sky condensed into a cold sword light and slashed down towards Little Lin.
This strike aimed to split Little Lin in two!
Just as the moment was at its most critical...
An icy voice suddenly pierced through heaven and earth, "Harm my brother, how do you wish to die?"
