The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 998: Chapter 992: Ant in the Palm

Someday, I will slaughter the entire Dragon Cry City!

A single sentence, brimming with endless killing intent, caused chills to run down the spines of many, their hearts growing cold.

The gazes directed at Lin Tian grew more reverent with each passing moment.

The young girl Lingzi standing in front of Lin Tian seemed to sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from him, and involuntarily took a few steps back, a look of fear on her delicate face.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

She hurriedly said, ”Calm down! Sister Zhou Xiaomeng is fine, my senior sister is there, and no one dares to bully her! My senior sister’s name is Mo Nuanshui, she’s the chief disciple of Dragon Cry City and the foremost under my master! Who would dare go against my senior sister? Also, my master is none other than the current City Lord of Dragon Cry City, Long Jifeng! You see, with both my senior sister and master around, sister Xiao Meng is definitely safe and sound...”

Earlier, many had guessed the origins when they saw Long Ziyuan appear.

After listening to Lingzi, many couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Especially those martial arts grandmasters who had some understanding of the cultivation world and had heard rumors about Dragon Cry City.

Witnessing the appearance of such disciples from a super sect, they were secretly astounded.

”This young man before us, having achieved martial arts grandmaster status at such a young age, wants to challenge Dragon Cry City? It’s nothing short of courting death!”

Many thought this quietly to themselves.

”Lin Tian, they’re disciples of Dragon Cry City, you need to be cautious with your words!”

Tang Yongnian tugged at Lin Tian, speaking solemnly, ”If you don’t understand what Jian Wufeng represents, just look at Long Ziyuan and the others! Jian Wufeng is even more formidable than them!”

Beside them, Shen Qingwan also feared that Lin Tian, being young and headstrong, didn’t understand the severity of the situation, hurriedly added, ”They are cultivators!”

”Yes, to put it bluntly, they are much, much more powerful than martial arts grandmasters!”

Finally, Shen Qingwan added a further explanation to Lin Tian.

She feared Lin Tian would not comprehend the significance of the people standing before them.

”So what if it’s Dragon Cry City? Whatever they are, it has nothing to do with me!”

Lin Tian coldly replied, his killing intent still intense, staring at Long Ziyuan, ”If my guess is correct, you had no good intentions when you first captured Zhou Xiaomeng! If it weren’t for that so-called senior sister Mo Nuanshui, who knows what you would have done! You’d better pray she remains unharmed all along...”

”Hahahahaha...”

Across from him.

Long Ziyuan suddenly erupted into wild laughter.

After a while, Long Ziyuan ceased his laughter, pointed at Lin Tian, and addressed the others, ”Did you all hear? Not only does he threaten me, Long Ziyuan, but he also dares to threaten Dragon Cry City! It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard! I mean, even if you had a hundred lives, would you dare to cause trouble in Dragon Cry City?”

This was a question posed to everyone present.

Long Ziyuan’s gaze also swept across the others.

”Young Master Long, we wouldn’t dare!”

Many lowered their heads and respectfully replied to Long Ziyuan.

Even Shen Qingwan bowed her head, her body inclined slightly forward.

The origins of those before them were existences they could only look up to their entire lives.

In their hearts, there was only submission, only awe, with not a shred of resistance, much like the innate dragon power that the Divine Dragon exerts over many other creatures.

”Hahahaha... very good!”

Long Ziyuan seemed satisfied with this response but ended with a laugh, pointing at Lin Tian, ”But, unfortunately, he dares! When I came in earlier, I heard some talk about a young grandmaster. Could it be he is a martial arts grandmaster?”

”Young... Young Master Long... yes! He killed Chen Er, you must avenge me!”

At this moment, Chu Yebai, who had been punched through the air by Lin Tian, lifted his head with difficulty and spoke tremblingly.

”Useless!”

At this moment, Long Ziyuan noticed Chu Yebai’s miserable state and immediately cursed, then said, ”Don’t worry, today this brat won’t escape! For offending me, showing such disrespect, I’ll first cripple his legs, then take him away, and torture him well!”

As he finished speaking, Long Ziyuan’s expression began to turn cruel.

It wasn’t because of Lin Tian’s offense or disrespect, but because Lin Tian had caught him and Chen Mei in a secret tryst on Qingzhou Mountain.

This matter absolutely couldn’t be leaked.

The consequences were beyond what they could bear!

Simply because Chen Mei was the woman of his brother, Long Teng!

Therefore, only by eliminating Lin Tian could they keep it secret.

”It’s no wonder Chen Er fell for it; turns out you’re a martial arts grandmaster! It seems I underestimated you!”

With a cold expression, Long Ziyuan shouted, ”But what is a grandmaster? In my eyes, they’re mere ants, something I can crush with my hands! Now, will you kneel on your own, or should I cripple you first?”

This time, Tang Yongnian remained silent.

Long Ziyuan came from Dragon Cry City, which even if backed by the Jian Family, the Tang Family couldn’t afford to offend.

”If that’s what you wish, I can grant it!”

Lin Tian said coldly to Long Ziyuan, his eyes shimmering with hostility.

”Good, sensible! This will spare you some pain!”

Long Ziyuan said, nodding coldly with a smirk.

But then, Lin Tian’s eyes turned icy as he shouted, ”Then you kneel!”

Upon hearing this, Long Ziyuan’s face showed shock before enraged, ”You’re courting death!”

At the same time, Long Ziyuan’s whole body erupted with True Qi like a fierce wind, exploding forth.

He wielded the power of True Qi, launching a palm strike toward Lin Tian, aiming directly at his legs.

Crack~

But in the next moment, the sound of bones breaking resonated, as Long Ziyuan’s hand was snapped by Lin Tian’s reverse knife-hand, bent at a ninety-degree angle.

His movements didn’t stop, True Qi wrapped around his feet as he kicked toward Long Ziyuan’s legs.

As the shrill crackling sound rang out, Long Ziyuan’s legs bent backward, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

”Ah...”

A scream piercing enough to tear eardrums erupted from Long Ziyuan’s mouth, soaring into the sky, causing everyone’s skin to tingle.

Yet Lin Tian had not finished, with a wave of his hand, True Qi enveloping as it transformed into a giant hand, lifting Long Ziyuan into the air.

Hiss~

The crowd witnessed this spectacle, each one instantly dumbfounded, many gasping.

The technique Lin Tian displayed was nothing short of astonishing to the heavens!

To lift someone with True Qi from a distance was no different from the art of an immortal to the people present.

Even Tang Yongnian, who had previously offered counsel to Lin Tian, was left speechless.

Only those like Du Yuesheng and Miao Feng, who had seen Lin Tian soar into the sky, were a bit more composed, though still astounded anew.

”Is he... is he from the Immortal Mountain Sect too?”

Tang Yongnian drew a deep breath, suddenly feeling he’d made an error in judgment, but quickly shook his head, ”No, no matter how formidable he is, can he surpass the Sword Saint Mountain? Remember, Jian Wufeng, who entered Wenxin Valley of the Sword Saint Mountain, is one of the sect’s favored sons, his future limitless! Jian Wufeng is the best match for Qianqian!”

But Long Ziyuan, held aloft, was so terrified he shrieked, ”You... you...”

He wanted to speak but found he couldn’t even articulate clearly.

By his side, Chen Mei had long collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

The means Lin Tian used, while incomprehensible to those present, were all too familiar to them; the ability to capture and kill with True Qi from distance, they’d only ever seen it in Golden Core Ancestors.

This young man, is he a Golden Core Cultivator?

The thought nearly made their souls leave their bodies.

”Now, who do you think is the ant held in my palm?”

Lin Tian’s cold eyes bore into Long Ziyuan, his voice chill, ”Originally, you capturing Zhou Xiaomeng was more than reason enough for me to kill you! But, death won’t come so easily! After I visit Dragon Cry City to ensure Zhou Xiaomeng is unharmed, then I’ll settle scores with your pitiful life!”

With that, Lin Tian threw Long Ziyuan down and then struck several Qi Radiances into the brows of both him and Chen Mei.
