Chapter 72 The Impasse
1998 Words
The middle-aged man in cyan was a little scared. Lin Tian's power at this moment was completely beyond the information he got. This overbearing swordsmanship wasn't mentioned in the intelligence collected by the Mo family at all!
"Signal! Quick!" The middle-aged man in cyan shouted.
With his order, a light rushed into the sky and blasted like fireworks.
Lin Tian looked up at the sky and frowned slightly.
"Wait, it won't take long for our masters at Divine Meridians Stage to come here. You will die today!" Then middle-aged man in cyan said coldly.
Lin Tian looked slightly gloomy, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
"I will kill all of you before that," Lin Tian said coldly.
He turned his right hand and then shook Regression Origin Sword. He exerted Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship again.
"Poof!"
Where the sword left, it was bleeding. A Mo master's head flew out.
"You bastard!" The middle-aged man in cyan roared. In a blink of an eye, counting the previous seven people, the Mo family had lost thirteen men!
The thirteen men were all masters at the ninth layer of body cultivation!
"Kill him!"
While shouting angrily, the middle-aged man in cyan tamped at Lin Tian with his Black Aerosiderite Halberd.
With his cold eyes, Lin Tian clenched his left hand into a fist and exerted the Shadow Boxing, bringing a shower of fist shadows.
Bang! When the fist and halberd collided, Lin Tian and the middle-aged man in cyan withdrew at the same time.
"You..." The man was shocked. His Black Aerosiderite Halberd was two hundred kilos in weight. With his cultivation of the ninth layer of body cultivation, the halberd's power was nearly invincible among all weapons at Divine Meridians Stage, but now, its attack was blocked down bare-handedly!
"Humph!" Lin Tian sneered, shaking his Regression Origin Sword, and dense sword lights blasted away.
During the nine days in wild wave formation, his physical strength had been incomparably strong through cultivation. In terms of strength, he was comparable to a master at the ninth layer of body cultivation!
"Clang!" The sword whistled like thundering.
Lin Tian held Regression Origin Sword and moved with Dual Position Step. He looked like a thunder in the flicker.
"Poof!" After more than a dozen seconds, another man was cut off and his blood stained the earth.
There was no special sword movement in Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship, but each movement was overbearing with thunder power.
"I'll stop him, you guys leave first and join the others to kill him together!" The middle-aged man in cyan shouted, Lin Tian's powerfulness was out of his expectation. His strength was far beyond that in the intelligence he received. Till now, the Mo family had lost fourteen people and could not afford to lose one more. These strong men were the elites of the Mo family!
While commanding, the middle-aged man in cyan stepped forward and went towards Lin Tian.
The rest of the Mo family looked at each other and nodded.
"Yes, Sir! Be careful!" Someone said.
They naturally understood the meaning of the man, so they began to retreat.
"You want to go?" Lin Tian sneered.
He wouldn't attack unless he was attacked. These people came to kill him so he could only fight back.
"Swoosh!" He exerted Dual Position Step to fly over the middle-aged man in cyan. Then he cut down with the Regression Origin Sword.
"Wind-startling Sword!" As the words fell, dense silver sword lights emerged, and they fell upon the enemies crazily.
Screams came in a flash. When the five men of the Mo family just now took a few steps back, two of them were pierced by the sword which was comparable to the advanced combat craft. They died on the spot.
Looking at this scene, the middle-aged man in cyan roared and his face distorted.
"Boom!" The long halberd shook with bright light and shot towards Lin Tian.
It was the secret combat craft of the Mo family! A medium combat craft of body cultivation. It was called Crazy Pressure Halberd Method!
"Get lost!" Lin Tian responded with a cold shout.
Regression Origin Sword trembled. He gathered the energy and cut down hard.
The Regression Origin Sword and the Black Aerosiderite Halberd collided with each other. Lin Tian and the man retreated at the same time once again.
Taking advantage of the retreating position, Lin Tian spun his footsteps and exerted the Lightning Sword, cutting off the head of another man with just one strike.
A short dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. Having been injected with energy, the dagger was thrown out valiantly.
"Poof!" The short dagger, which was filled with energy, was amazingly sharp and went straight into the back of the head of a Mo's master.
In a flash, four more people were killed. The middle-aged man's face contorted more with anger. He kept roaring. The other man was frightened, and he was almost staggering towards the distance.
Lin Tian raised his leg and kicked a long knife at his feet out.
"Swoosh!" The long knife cut through the air, and penetrated the man's chest from behind, piercing his heart directly.
"You're the only one left." Lin Tian turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in cyan.
In fact, the men with the middle-aged man were not weak. They were even much stronger than the others at the eighth layer of body cultivation. But these people were scared out by the Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship he exhibited and lost the courage to battle. Naturally, they were defeated. With the long sword's vibration, Lin Tian did not hesitate. The Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship was exerted and pressed to the middle-aged man in cyan.
"Ah!" The middle-aged man in cyan roared and glared at Lin Tian, attacking him with the long halberd.
Regression Origin Sword collided with Black Aerosiderite Halberd, clanking.
"It's pretty solid." Lin Tian squinted.
Regression Origin Sword was a medium-grade spiritual armament. As a sword, naturally it was extremely sharp. It could almost cut clean through iron as though it were mud but now it could only leave some marks on Black Aerosiderite Halberd.
The middle-aged man in cyan roared and kept attacking Lin Tian with Crazy Pressure Halberd Method.
"Clank!"
"Clank!"
"Clank!"
The sound of sword colliding with halberd kept going on, and around them, old woods were badly damaged.
In a flash, they two fought for half an hour.
"The peak of the ninth layer of body cultivation is indeed fierce!" Lin Tian spoke to himself.
He looked up at the sky and found it was nearly dark. Lin Tian's face slightly fell. He knew that he must end this battle quickly because he had been running out of his energy. If the battle lasted long, it would absolutely be very bad for him. He took a deep breath and stared at the middle-aged man in cyan, waving his right hand and then Regression Origin Sword suddenly disappeared. He had put it back in the stone ring.
The middle-aged man was slightly frightened, "What have you done?"
The middle-aged man in cyan looked down and focused on Lin Tian's right middle finger. He was shocked, "Stone ring?" As a strong elite of a martial family, the man was no stranger to stone rings. The Mo family had one, too, as a symbol of the Mo family's inheritance. Only the Master was entitled to wear it, "You have such a treasure!"
The man was startled and happy, and the contortion on his face disappeared, replaced by greediness.
A stone ring's value was amazingly high!
"You are despicable!" Lin Tian sneered.
He slightly crouched down and clenched fists. Then with Dual Position Step, he rushed at the man like lightning.
Seeing this action, the man was slightly surprised.
But then, sarcasm showed in the middle-aged man's face, "You're out of energy?" How dare you rush over bare-handedly!" Staring at Lin Tian, he waved the Black Aerosiderite Halberd and exerted the Crazy Pressure Halberd Method with a snarling smile, "After killing you, the stone ring will be mine! I have to say that it is a windfall for me!"
"Boom!" The Crazy Pressure Halberd Method was strengthened by the middle-aged man in cyan, rolling up a strong wind.
Just then, Lin Tian suddenly jumped up. He loosened his fists and made his right hand hold the air. He smiled slightly when the sword of energy appeared in his hand.
"Lightning Sword!"
Two words fell. Then a splash of blood came after a swoosh.
The middle-aged man in cyan still maintained the swinging action, but his body stopped. Around his throat was an obvious blood hole, with blood constantly pouring out.
"Why, why..."
He moved his lips and fell to the ground.
He never knew why Lin Tian could cut through his throat without a sword.
Lin Tian landed. He looked at the body of the man and turned away to leave.
"I can call it Illusory Sword Dance. Well, that sounds good."
His self-talking fluttered in the air.
No sword in hand, but the sword he cut out was stronger. This trick, was Lin Tian's strongest undercard for now.
After he left, Lin Tian found a secret place and swallowed down three energy pills. Then he quickly started to run the Siji Scriptures. After this great battle, his energy was almost exhausted.
"Buzz!"
Faint silver light flowed around him. Half an hour later, Lin Tian stood up with full energy.
The sun had completely set. In no time, the night would shroud the earth.
"I have to get out of there as soon as possible," Lin Tian spoke to himself.
Having stood up, Lin Tian found a direction and ran there quickly.
It was true that the Mo family had blocked all exits of the Dark Forest, but he shouldn't stay in the Dark Forest forever simply for this reason. When the middle-aged man and the others were chasing behind him, he couldn't escape here. But now it was different, as long as he could get close to the edge of the Dark Forest, he could find the opportunity to escape.
The black robe was in the stone ring so even if the Mo family had imposed a serious blockade of Dark Forest, this black robe might play a big role. However powerful the Mo family was, it was impossible for it to cross-examine everyone in and out of the Dark Forest. Thinking of this, Lin Tian was slightly calm. He took out the black robe from the stone ring.
"Clang!" Just then, in the sky, an immortal sword light fell. It was terrible.
Lin Tian was shocked and hurriedly retreated. He dodged out tens of feet away, but his black robe was crushed by this sword light to pieces.
"Bastard, I found you!" A cold voice came from the sky.
Lin Tian looked up, only to see a Tremendous Flight Bird hovering in the sky. On the bird's back were standing two similar-looking middle-aged men, one of whom was the Elder of Jiuyang Martial Institution, Mo Yi!
"Damn it!" Lin Tian went towards the depths of Dark Forest without hesitation.
Lin Tian didn't expect that Mo Yi came in person! What was even more surprising to him was the fact that the Mo family kept Tremendous Flight Birds as means of transport! Mo Yi was at the ninth layer of Divine Meridians, so Lin Tian was not an opponent to him. As for the middle-aged man beside Mo Yi, Lin Tian guessed who he was. Because just at a hurried glance, he saw hatred in that man's eyes. Thus, this man must be Mo Sen's father, the Master of the Mo family -- Mo Hai!
It was said that Mo Hai, the Master of the Mo family, was at the fourth layer of Divine Meridians.
One was at the ninth layer of Divine Meridians while the other was at the fourth! He was in the impasse!
