Apology and Intimidation

"Bang!"

A violent gust of wind swept across the square, and all eyes were fixed on the point where the two figures clashed.

Under their watchful eyes, within the raging gale, a dark figure suddenly shot backward, its steps slightly unsteady as it thrashed across the ground several times before finally regaining its footing.

Whoosh!

All eyes were immediately drawn to the figure that had been thrown backward, and then a chorus of gasps of astonishment rippled through the square, for the person who had been thrown backward in such a disheveled state was none other than Tian Zhen!

Tian Zhen's Golden Body Shield has been broken!

The crowd stared at Tian Zhen in shock. The Golden Body Shield that had originally been there was now broken, and even his clothes were torn, making him look rather disheveled.

Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, a cold figure slowly emerged from the dust-filled area. The Demon Shadow was enveloped in black demonic light, resembling Demon God.

The Demon Shadow figure stared coldly at Tian Zhen, whose face was ashen, and said in a cold voice, "Anyone who touches Senior Brother shall die!"

"What arrogance!"

Tian Zhen was so angry at what the Demon Shadow said that he laughed in anger, but the contempt in his eyes had completely faded, replaced by a solemn look.

Having already fought with him before, he knew that the troublesome nature of the Demon Shadow was no less than that of the other three overlords in the Northwest Region.

"Just who is this Lin Langtian? Not only is his own combat power so astonishing, but he has also recruited such subordinates!"

Tian Zhen gritted his teeth secretly, feeling quite surprised. Although he hadn't used all his skills in the previous exchange, he understood that the Demon Shadow in front of him probably still had some trump cards up its sleeve.

Moreover, even he was terrified by the latter's abnormal physical strength and strange demonic energy.

Thinking of this, Tian Zhen also had the idea of retreating. After all, besides the extremely troublesome Demon Shadow, Lin Langtian and the Yan Alliance behind him were still watching from the sidelines.

Although Tian Zhen was fierce, he was not reckless. He knew that if he were to fall here carelessly, he would truly become a laughing stock in the Northwest Region.

"Brother Lin, what happened just now was my Tian Zhen, it was all a misunderstanding. I think the Ancient Secret Key should be kept by you." Tian Zhen looked at Lin Langtian, his anger slowly subsiding, his eyes flashing, and then he chuckled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Zhen was about to turn and leave, but just as he was about to move, a figure blocked his way. It was Demon Shadow.

"Lin Langtian, what is the meaning of this? Do you intend to fight to the death?"

Seeing this, Tian Zhen turned to look at Lin Langtian, his face immediately darkening, and said.

"Misunderstanding? If this matter can be resolved with just a few words, then you, Violent Wolf Tian Zhen, are really disrespecting me, Lin Langtian, and the Yan Alliance." Lin Langtian sneered.

Although Tian Zhen was quite strong, Lin Langtian was not too afraid of him. If he let him leave like that, where would he put his face?

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhen was also taken aback. In his opinion, it was already a great favor that he did not cause trouble for Lin Langtian, yet Lin Langtian actually wanted to turn around and cause him trouble.

Despite his resentment, looking at the cold and ruthless Demon Shadow, Tian Zhen knew that even if he really fought the Yan Alliance to the death, he might die, but the Yan Alliance's net might not necessarily break.

Thinking of this, Tian Zhen's face flushed slightly. When the time came, he became somewhat timid.

Taking a deep breath, Tian Zhen took out a Universe Bag from his bosom and tossed it to Lin Langtian, saying, "This contains fifty Nirvana Stage Demon Crystal, twenty One Yuan Nirvana Stage Demon Crystal, and three Two Yuan Nirvana Stage Demon Crystal. Consider this my apology to Brother Lin."

As he said this, a look of pain appeared on Tian Zhen's face. After all, those Nirvana Stage Demon Crystal were one thing, but those three Two Yuan Nirvana Stage Demon Crystal were something he had to pay a considerable price to obtain.

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow at Tian Zhen's generous apology and probed his Universe Bag with his Mental Power, whereupon he indeed discovered several Demon Crystal brimming with Nirvana Qi.

"In that case, you may leave now." After extorting a sum of money, Lin Langtian nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Tian Zhen and waved his hand dismissively.

Lin Langtian was well aware of his current combat strength. He was originally at the Half-step Nirvana Stage, but after fusing with the Nine Nether Flame, his Yuan Power cultivation was no less than that of an ordinary Nirvana Stage cultivator.

In addition to the Mental Power of the Heavenly Symbol Master and the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the powerful martial arts unleashed after fusing these three powers have considerable destructive power against even ordinary beings in the One Yuan Nirvana Stage or the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage.

However, Tian Zhen, as one of the Four Overlords of the Northwest Region, is a peak expert of the Two Yuan Nirvana Stage. Lin Langtian thought that he might not be his match at the moment. Only the Demon Shadow, relying on its strange demonic energy, was able to fight him.

Therefore, even if Lin Langtian leads the Yan Alliance to gang up on Tian Zhen and manages to kill him, he will pay a heavy price.

Lin Langtian would naturally not make such a losing deal. After all, if he were given more time, he would be able to usher in a period of explosive growth in strength. So why be fixated on the short term?

"Lin Langtian, the green hills remain unchanged and the clear waters flow on forever; we will meet again amidst the mountains and rivers!"

After uttering a meaningful remark, Tian Zhen finally turned away unwillingly, his figure flashing several times before disappearing from Yang City.

As everyone watched Tian Zhen leave looking somewhat disheveled, a moment of silence fell over them. They clicked their tongues and looked at Lin Langtian with apprehension.

Clearly, no one expected that even a big shot like Tian Zhen couldn't gain any advantage against the Yan Alliance, which was composed of many low- and Intermediate Dynasty.

Lin Langtian, this Senior Brother of the Yan Alliance, is indeed a ruthless character. No wonder he was able to rise to fame so quickly.

It probably won't be long before the news of the Yan Alliance forcing Tian Zhen to retreat spreads, and they will surely become famous throughout the entire Northwest Region, with no one daring to provoke them.

Lin Langtian ignored the various gazes around him and glanced at Shi Kun and the others, whose faces were filled with utter despair.

When the people of the Magic Rock Dynasty saw Lin Langtian looking at them, they all trembled. Even Violent Wolf Tian Zhen, had to pay a hefty apology before he could leave. Their fate was predictable.

Lin Langtian, of course, did not let them off the hook. With a wave of his hand, the Yan Alliance once again charged towards the Magic Rock Dynasty.

With Demon Shadow personally leading the team and no one like Tian Zhen intervening, the operation was extremely swift. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone from the Magic Rock Dynasty, including the Shi Kun brothers, was decapitated.

Looking at the lifeless bodies of the Shi Kun brothers, Lin Langtian, "Hang the corpses of Shi Kun and Shi Xuan at the city gate so that the world knows the consequences of provoking my Yan Alliance!"
