The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Blades and Swords Flashing

The Grand Elder was feeling frustrated.

Actually, it wasn’t exactly frustration; more like a headache, a sense of being overwhelmed.

He did indeed promise Cannon King a request that was yet to be fulfilled, but he didn’t expect he would have to fulfill that promise so soon.

In this damned snowy and windy weather, I lingered outside the Xu Family for an hour, finally made a move, and not only failed to kill the target, but now I have to escort them out?

The Grand Elder suddenly felt utterly humiliated. It was just killing one person, how did it become so complicated?!

Lin Tian couldn’t see through, so he couldn’t see the expression on the Grand Elder’s face at that moment, but he was sure it must be quite a sight.

Lin Tian smiled and said, ”What, with your stature and status, you’re going to break your promise?”

The Grand Elder snorted heavily and said disdainfully, ”I have always kept my word; escort you out of Luoyan Dock, and my promise is fulfilled, right?”

At first, this seemed reasonable, but upon thinking deeper, Lin Tian realized the old man was planning to attack after sending them out of Luoyan Dock, which technically doesn’t break the promise.

Lin Tian took a few steps forward to stand about three meters away from the Grand Elder, and said in a low voice, ”Do you think these word games are amusing? Look at the person sitting in the carriage. How bad is her condition? She has no cultivation or Inner Strength, just an alluring body, no different from an ordinary person, what threat could she possibly be to you? You’re afraid of someone like this, aren’t you being a bit too cowardly for members of your family alliance?”

Lin Tian’s provocation did not affect the Grand Elder. He just chuckled disdainfully, saying, ”Eradicating the roots, preventing trouble before it happens, I did nothing wrong.”

”Alright, I can’t convince you. But today you must escort us out of Luoyan Dock and cannot harm us; that’s your promise.”

The Grand Elder scrutinized Lin Tian briefly and then nodded with a smile, ”Fine, I agree. But I hope you hide this woman well in the future; who knows, I might pay a visit someday.”

Lin Tian couldn’t help but frown, this old fossil is really stubborn.

Before Lin Tian could speak, the Grand Elder continued, ”You can go. I’ll be in the shadows, protecting you. If anyone dares cause trouble, I’ll intervene.”

His rough voice echoed in everyone’s ears, including the Yue and Wang families.

After speaking, the Grand Elder’s gaze lingered momentarily on the people from the Yue and Wang families. His eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent, making those people shiver with fear. They were no match for a master of his level.

”Retreat!” Yue Yongnan unwillingly gave the order to withdraw.

”Having offended my Xu Family, do you think it will be that easy to leave?” Yaqin pointed her sword at the men in black and shouted, ”Keep them here! Tear off the masks on their faces. I want to see who dares to challenge my Xu Family!”

”Yes!”

The people behind Yaqin responded with a salute and then charged forward, surrounding the fourteen masked men in black.

In terms of numbers, the Xu Family had an overwhelming advantage. However, those in the center of the crowd seemed fearless.

The Grand Elder stood by, watching coldly. He had no intention of helping either side. This was unrelated to his escort task.

”Ignorant youth!” Yue Yongnan, standing at the center of the encirclement, chuckled disdainfully, then wielded his sword and shouted, ”Don’t get caught up in fighting or killing. Killing these wastes serves no purpose!”

Yue Yongnan was not best known for his Swordsmanship but for his speed and kicking techniques.

However, since he was concealing his identity, using the Yue Family’s techniques might expose him and bring unnecessary trouble.

”Kill!” Yaqin shouted in an alluring yet commanding voice, then closed her eyes, her lips moving as if chanting a spell at an incredible speed.

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Tian wasn’t sure if he was hallucinating, but he felt Yaqin was in a very mysterious state.

Lin Tian only focused on her without looking into her eyes, yet he felt a slight dizziness. Only when circulating his Spiritual Qi could dispel this feeling.

Meanwhile, the young women wielding long swords around Yaqin also entered this state, their jade figures glowing with a faint red halo.

The Grand Elder stood to the side, amused by Lin Tian’s curious gaze, and laughed, ”Little friend Cannon King, do you want to save the Xu Family? Don’t you know their capabilities? These dozen girls have perfected the Charming Skill. Even without using the Xu Family’s Array, having so many of them together, they can fully control the surrounding aura.”

At this point, the Grand Elder seemed to have recalled something and smiled bitterly, ”And that’s the scary part about the Xu Family...”

At this moment, the male disciples of the Xu Family, wielding their swords, charged forward all at once. Although they were men, they had trained in Charm Technique for a long time, which bewitched the mind and confused the enemy.

Soon, the entire battlefield was almost under the Xu Family’s control, while the masked men stood back to back, motionless.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

The Xu Family men waved their long swords, stabbing toward the fourteen masked men.

Their swordsmanship, Lin Tian had already experienced before, was extremely keen, with tricky angles and excellent coordination with each other, leaving no room for their opponents.

Amidst the flashing swords, Yue Yongnan moved. He narrowed his eyes slightly, spreading his Inner Strength throughout his body, then thrust his sword forward!

Swish...

His movement was so fast, it was as if the Charming Skill had no effect on him. That sword thrust directly into a Xu Family disciple’s left arm.

The sword tip flicked, and with a slash, Yue Yongnan cut off an arm!

With a hysterical scream, blood spurted from the Xu Family disciple’s left arm, splattering on everyone around.

After succeeding, Yue Yongnan took two steps back with his sword, but the Xu Family people followed closely, five sharp swords whisking through the air towards him. He easily dispelled them with a kick.

At this point, the chaotic battle fully erupted, the scene extremely chaotic, with swords and blades clashing and blood splattering everywhere.

However, the Xu Family clearly held the upper hand, with advantages not only in numbers but also with an extra boost from the Charm Technique, showing a significant effect.

The Yue and Wang families had only one advantage: their level was slightly higher than these people, preventing total devastation.
