Asking for recommendation tickets!!) 152: Chapter 148 A Sword Shines Cold Across the Manjiang Rain (4th update!

Asking for recommendation tickets!!) “Turns out you have already advanced to the Heavenly Realm and have become a Martial Arts Grandmaster!”

Kang Heng wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with gloom and defeat, giving a bitter smile.

Zhou Li and the others around him also looked unhappy.

“Hmph, two expelled wastes are no match for me, who joined the sect halfway through my journey!”

Shi Chong stood up, his face somber and his words filled with chilling ice, as he slowly spoke to Zhou Li:

“Now that I think about it, I have to thank you for the gift you gave me, allowing me to be gravely injured and then stumble upon a Dao Realm expert from the Iron Sword Sect, who is now my master.

He guided me in Cultivation of Martial Arts, leading me into the Heavenly Realm!”

“For this moment right here, I have been enduring inhumane hardships all year round, climbing Heavenly Mountain, venturing into Amazon Jungle, entering vast deserts, fighting with wolves, tigers, and leopards, battling top international mercenaries and assassins…”

“All my Cultivation has been earned through countless life-and-death battles!”

“Even if you brought a Martial Arts Grandmaster to fight me, Shi Chong, I would still crush him into pieces!”

“Once, after I joined the sect, I was mocked, but those same people who entered the Heavenly Realm like me were completely crushed by me!”

Iron Sword Sect!

Hearing this, Zhou Li and Kang Heng’s faces turned utterly pale.

Especially upon knowing the sect Shi Chong belonged to, Zhou Li felt his heart sink to the bottom.

It was a sect several times stronger than Blood Flower Mountain!

Not to mention Zhou Li—if Blood Flower Mountain itself wouldn’t dare to offend them.

Even if Shi Chong were defeated today, there might be retaliation from Iron Sword Sect!

But Zhou Li had no choice.

He clenched his teeth and suddenly shouted:

“Take action!”

Whoosh~~

At Zhou Li’s command, four assassins suddenly appeared from all around the teahouse, brandishing poison-tipped darts and immediately shooting them towards Shi Chong.

But Shi Chong’s movements were only quick, not slow.

He stomped his foot, and his whole body was enveloped in an invisible Gang Qi.

The poison darts couldn’t even reach him and clattered to the ground, one after another.

Seeing this, Zhou Li and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

The gunmen and the tea house waitstaff all widened their eyes in disbelief.

“Is this an unparalleled expert?”

Many secretly marveled.

“Truly a Martial Arts Grandmaster, impervious to knives and spears!”

Zhou Li’s face turned ashen, and he trembled as he sighed deeply.

The horror of Shi Chong was now far beyond his imagination.

Even rapid hidden weapons couldn’t get close.

Zhou Li felt utterly disheartened and desperately suppressed his inner fear, saying, “We were both at fault initially!

Now that you’ve returned as a Grandmaster, you must want me to submit.

Even if you kill me, what then?

What if I give you half of Azure Dragon Association’s foundations?

Let us end our grievances here, is that agreeable?”

“Ha ha ha ha…

Zhou Li, oh Zhou Li, you think your little wealth can buy your life?

With my current status, what can’t I obtain?

I have no interest in any worthless Azure Dragon Association!”

Shi Chong stood with his hands behind his back, head thrown back in wild laughter, his face full of scorn for all beings, loudly saying, “Your sword back then cut off three of my fingers, your gun once left me hovering between life and death!

Now, it’s time for an eye for an eye; do it yourself!”

Hearing this, Zhou Li’s face showed a trace of sorrow, then he said, “Alright!

But you must promise not to harm the people of Azure Dragon Association; they are innocent, and many are descendants of your former subordinates!

Can you do that?”

“Hmph, as long as you do it now, I assure their safety!”

Shi Chong sneered coldly and said solemnly.

“Alright!”

Zhou Li’s face showed a trace of ruthlessness, snatching a gun from a nearby gunman, and aimed it at his own left foot.

“Elder Zhou, wait!”

But at that moment, Lin Tian spoke out to stop him, standing up and smiling, saying, “Since I came to help Elder Zhou, I can’t stand by and watch you harm yourself.”

“Master Lin, you don’t need to make a needless sacrifice, perhaps you are no match for him either!”

Zhou Li gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

“Kid, you are truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!

If you don’t want to die, apologize to Master Shi immediately!”

Seeing Lin Tian step forward heedlessly, Kang Heng, who had been defeated, instantly became anxious.

In his eyes, Lin Tian might be Zhou Li’s friend; he didn’t want to see a sacrifice made in vain.

If Zhou Li’s death could save the lives of friends and family, it would be the least loss!

Hearing this, Lin Tian smiled and ignored Kang Heng, continuing to speak to Zhou Li, “How about this, after I make my move this time, you will have to help me find some Cultivation Resources.

Now, you only need to agree or disagree!

If you trust me, agree now, and I will capture him right here!

Now, make your choice!”

“Who are you?”

At this moment, Shi Chong finally noticed Lin Tian’s presence.

The young man before him, dressed in casual clothes, stood with his hands behind his back, his face carrying a faint smile, looking completely composed without a trace of fear, as if he was entirely disregarding Shi Chong.

After sizing him up, Shi Chong’s expression slightly darkened because he couldn’t see through Lin Tian; he felt the latter must have some significant background or reliance.

But, Shi Chong quickly noticed Lin Tian’s palms—hands that were more delicate and pale than a woman’s.

He immediately relaxed.

A Cultivator could not possibly have such hands; this was just a mere average person who had never engaged in Martial Arts.

However,

Lin Tian ignored Shi Chong’s words and still fixed his gaze on Zhou Li, repeating, “Elder Zhou, do you still need to think about it?

Just nod, and this man will stay here today!”

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s interruption, Zhou Li felt as though he was enduring a battle within himself, unable to decide.

Choosing self-mutilation might lead to his death, but letting Lin Tian make a move, if it failed, not only would the Azure Dragon Association suffer, but all his family members would face an unimaginable fate.

But, just as Zhou Li struggled with how to decide, Shi Chong opposite him had already become furious.

“Just you, want to keep me here?”

Shi Chong’s face showed rising anger, his eyes fierce, and he sneered darkly, “Heh heh, what an arrogant brat!”

“Arrogant?”

Lin Tian smiled lightly and shook his head, “I was originally curious about the Martial Arts Grandmaster, wanting to challenge him!

Unfortunately, after seeing your move earlier, I am utterly disappointed!

Just this little skill, totally unchallenging!”

Earlier, when Shi Chong exhaled Gang Qi, shattering tables and chairs, and causing a pit in the ground, Lin Tian had seen it all.

But the level of destruction caused, including the purity of that force compared to his True Qi, was lacking by countless times, a heaven and earth difference!

Thus, he was confident that he could defeat Shi Chong in one move.

“You’re seeking death!”

Shi Chong’s face showed ferocity, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He was now a Martial Arts Grandmaster—what a status that was!

Wherever he went now, who wasn’t extremely respectful?

Even those powerful tycoons and provincial leaders had to bow down respectfully and call him ‘Grandmaster’!

And now, here was this not fully grown lad, belittling him so.

Even if he had great self-control, he could not contain his fury.

“Seeking death?”

Lin Tian’s face darkened as he exclaimed, “The one seeking death is you!

Such a ‘grandmaster’ doesn’t even catch Beiliu’s eye!

However, I am interested in the Dao Realm master you mentioned; if he comes, he might manage a few moves against me!”

Inside the teahouse, upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, both Kang Heng and Zhou Li’s faces completely changed.

This statement was equivalent to offending not only Shi Chong’s master but also the entire Iron Sword Sect.

If a Martial Arts Grandmaster was so terrifying, one could only imagine how fearsome the so-called Dao Realm would be!

“Very well, very well…arrogant enough!

Kid, in a moment this Grandmaster will crush your bones one by one and then twist off your head to kick it like a ball!”

There was a chilling tone in Shi Chong’s words, as if coming from a millennia-old glacier, filled with endless coldness, the murderous aura from his body making Zhou Li and others tremble, their hearts chilled.

“Heh heh, twist off my head to kick it like a ball?”

Lin Tian chuckled lightly, he turned, looking over the railing toward the water below.

Suddenly, his hand reached into the empty air as if grabbing the wind, the sky, the entire world itself.

Following that, a tumultuous aura burst continuously from the palm of his hand.

The next instant, a sword light streaked from his palm, turning into a blue lightning bolt, slashing downward towards the lake below.

Boom—splash—

One sword divided the originally calm lake, like a vast mirror, into two halves, the bottom riverbed visible, and two giant waves surged up following that.

The entire teahouse fell deadly silent!

High buildings in the evening evoke melancholy, a single sword’s cold light fills the raining river!

One sword causes storms and rain, striking fear in spirits and gods!
