Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

Swoosh!

Lin Langtian moved swiftly and decisively, aiming directly for Ao Xuan’s head. Ao Xuan, badly injured from their previous exchange, could only stare helplessly at Lin Langtian, his eyes widening in terror as he finally understood how ruthless this young man truly was.

”Protect the Prince!”

Just as Lin Langtian’s deadly palm was about to land, three thunderous roars erupted from among the ranks of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Clan. Immediately, three shadows rushed forward with blinding speed, standing protectively in front of Ao Xuan. Their combined power erupted in unison, forming a fierce counterattack.

Bang!

Lin Langtian’s lethal strike collided violently with their defensive move. Although his attack shattered instantly under their united strength, Lin Langtian’s eyes flashed with cruelty. Without hesitation, his right leg whipped around in a vicious arc, slamming directly into Ao Xuan’s chest.

Ao Xuan spat out blood as his body flew backward uncontrollably, releasing a shrill cry of agony.

Mu Lingshan immediately appeared beside Lin Langtian, anxiously asking, ”Brother Langtian, are you alright?”

At the same time, Liu Da and the others quickly stood guard around Lin Langtian, glaring fiercely at the three generals of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Clan. A violent clash seemed imminent.

”I’m fine,” Lin Langtian reassured Mu Lingshan calmly, his eyes locked coldly onto Ao Xuan.

Surrounded by warriors of his clan, Ao Xuan was visibly weakened and humiliated, yet he could only glare venomously at Lin Langtian, his teeth clenched in anger.

With a mocking tone, Lin Langtian spoke, ”Prince Ao Xuan, shall we continue our match? Or do we have a result already? Many friends here are waiting to see the outcome.”

Ao Xuan’s face twisted with fury. Around them, mocking laughter erupted, causing Ao Xuan to feel even more humiliated. He knew he had no choice but to concede. Fighting again in his condition would likely mean death. And backing out now would utterly destroy his prestige.

After hesitating bitterly, Ao Xuan finally growled, ”You win this round.”

”Then hand over the thirty Energy Crystals,” Lin Langtian replied smoothly. ”Our friends here are eagerly awaiting their share.”

Grinding his teeth, Ao Xuan reluctantly took out thirty Energy Crystals, tossing them toward Lin Langtian with hateful reluctance.

Lin Langtian took half for himself and casually threw the remaining fifteen to the gathered crowd, sparking immediate chaos as everyone lunged forward, fighting desperately over the precious treasures.

Ao Xuan’s eyes turned dark and malicious. ”Everyone, from this point forward, this becomes a private matter between the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Clan and Lin Langtian. Anyone who interferes will become an enemy of our clan!”

Immediately, the surrounding cultivators retreated cautiously, unwilling to risk offending the powerful Flood Dragon Clan.

Seeing no support forthcoming, Lin Langtian tensed, his expression turning serious. Ao Xuan sneered coldly and shouted, ”Kill him!”

Instantly, the warriors of the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Clan surged forward, unleashing fierce waves of powerful attacks aimed directly at Lin Langtian.

But just before the brutal clash could erupt—

Boom!

An enormous surge of black energy erupted from the depths of the lake below, violently scattering the attacking warriors, sending many flying backward while coughing up blood.

Everyone stared in astonishment as a terrifying presence slowly rose from the deep abyss beneath the lake. It was a towering figure shrouded entirely in sinister, black demonic energy, radiating unimaginable power.

”Such a powerful demon corpse…” Lin Langtian muttered solemnly, realizing instantly the terrible danger they now faced.

”What the hell is that thing?” someone shouted in panic.

”How can there be such a horrifying puppet hidden here?” another voice cried in fear.

The figure finally emerged fully into view, standing over ten meters tall, its body covered entirely with eerie black demonic patterns. Its eyes were completely black, cold, and devoid of any trace of humanity or life.

The corpse slowly lifted its gaze, scanning the area emotionlessly. Wherever its gaze landed, the cultivators felt an indescribable chill, their courage utterly drained.

”Attack it together!” someone screamed desperately. Immediately, dozens of cultivators launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, hoping their combined power would overwhelm the monstrous figure.

But to everyone’s horror, their attacks had no effect whatsoever. The demon corpse casually moved through the barrage unscathed, appearing behind the attackers in an instant.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of powerful experts were instantly pierced through their throats, blood erupting violently from their bodies. A terrifying black energy rapidly devoured their life essence, instantly killing them.

A stunned silence filled the area. Everyone realized, too late, that this demon corpse was far beyond anything they had faced before—likely matching a perfected-stage Profound Death realm expert!

”Run!” Lin Langtian immediately commanded, his voice urgent and decisive. Without hesitation, he grabbed Mu Lingshan and fled rapidly, Liu Da and the others quickly following behind.

As he fled, Lin Langtian heard screams echoing behind him—the corpse was slaughtering everyone who remained.

”Fools,” Lin Langtian muttered darkly, accelerating even further.

However, as they fled at top speed, Lin Langtian’s expression suddenly grew tense. He sensed a terrifyingly powerful presence rapidly closing in on him from behind.

”It’s chasing us!” Liu Da shouted urgently.

Lin Langtian glanced back, confirming that the demon corpse was indeed swiftly pursuing them, clearly targeting him specifically.

Increasing his speed to the absolute limit, Lin Langtian tried to outrun the corpse, but it quickly appeared before him, space twisting as the massive figure blocked their path.

Standing motionless, the demon corpse stared directly at Lin Langtian, its dark eyes suddenly flickering with unexpected emotion.

In a strained, hoarse voice, the corpse finally spoke, pleading desperately, ”Bearer of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol… please help me…”

Lin Langtian paused in shock, realizing the corpse still possessed remnants of consciousness, desperately struggling against the demonic corruption inside it.

”You still retain consciousness?” Lin Langtian asked cautiously.

”Please… end my suffering,” the corpse whispered, struggling visibly as its body trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Langtian sighed deeply, understanding now. ”I’ll do what I can.”

The demon corpse revealed a look of profound gratitude, carefully maintaining control of itself to cooperate fully.

”Protect me from any disturbances,” Lin Langtian instructed Mu Lingshan and Liu Da. They nodded gravely, positioning themselves to defend against any outside threats.

Lin Langtian quickly created a protective barrier, isolating himself and the demon corpse. Then, releasing both the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Spatial Ancestral Symbol from his body, Lin Langtian activated their powers simultaneously.

”Devouring Ancestral Symbol… Spatial Ancestral Symbol…” The demon corpse stared in shock, recognizing both ancient symbols. ”To think that the current bearer controls two Ancestral Symbols simultaneously… You’ve accomplished what my lord always dreamed of…”

Lin Langtian realized then that this ”lord” the corpse spoke of must be the original master of this Reincarnation Cave Mansion, a previous bearer of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol who had failed in his ambition to harness multiple symbols.

The corpse immediately activated a power similar to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol—a weaker version called the ”Devouring Art,” created by his former master.

The demonic energy around the corpse gradually lessened under his control, suppressed temporarily by this power.

Lin Langtian concentrated deeply, directing both Ancestral Symbols to unleash their power directly onto the corpse.

Two brilliant beams of energy—black and silver—descended simultaneously, engulfing the demon corpse completely.

Instantly, white smoke rose as the demonic corruption within the corpse burned violently. A spine-chilling, anguished scream echoed through the air as the ancient corpse fought desperately against the overwhelming pain.

”Ahhh!”

As the two Ancestral Symbols’ powers purified him, the corpse’s demonic patterns slowly faded. But the process was far from gentle—the corpse endured unimaginable agony as its demonic corruption was forcibly purged.

Lin Langtian remained focused, maintaining his grip on the powerful symbols, determined to fulfill his promise and free this tormented soul from its eternal nightmare.

The corpse’s screams gradually faded, replaced by a faint sense of peace as the ancient figure finally began to be freed from its eternal prison of darkness and corruption.
