Crisis Resolved

The thousand-foot-long black and white rainbow, imbued with the aura of reincarnation, finally crashed into the water shield in front of Lin Langtian in an extremely eye-catching way, under the gaze of countless eyes.

Laugh!

At the moment of impact, the expected deafening roar did not occur. Instead, a blinding burst of light intertwined and then frantically eroded the other side.

Silent and still, yet filled with a chilling ferocity.

All eyes were fixed on the two magnificent beams of light that each occupied half of the sky. Their expressions were extremely surprised that Lin Langtian had actually blocked the attack of a Samsara Stage expert!

"Lin Langtian, how is this possible?" Upon seeing Ren Yuanzi, Ren Yuanzi's usually calm expression changed slightly, and he murmured.

"That kid's defensive water shield is a bit off..." Tian Yuanzi's eyes, which resembled yin and yang, were fixed on the giant shield that emitted blue water light, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice.

Although he couldn't sense the origin of the Luo Water Shield, his intuition told him that the water shield Lin Langtian had summoned was definitely not an ordinary object.

Ren Yuanzi's expression faltered for a moment at Tian Yuanzi's look, then he said, "Do you really think Lin Langtian's defense can withstand Huang Wuzi's full-force attack?"

Tian Yuanzi's expression was dark and uncertain, and he did not speak.

"Impossible..." Upon seeing his reaction, Ren Yuanzi's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of shock appeared in his murmured voice.

Huang Wuzi is a veteran expert in the Samsara Stage, whose strength is among the top in both the Eastern and Western Profound Domains. How could he possibly be unable to defeat a Life Profound Stage?

"Huang Wuzi's attack is weakening..." Tian Yuanzi said.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuanzi hurriedly looked up, and his expression changed. He also noticed that the originally extremely violent black and white rainbow in the sky had quietly weakened its momentum at this moment.

In contrast, Lin Langtian's water shield remained calm and even, yet within that gentle warmth emanated an unshakeable force.

"Oh, it seems this kid has quite a secret. That water shield can even block the powerful attack of Samsara Stage expert..." Ren Yuanzi murmured, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"So what do we do next? Since Lin Langtian has withstood Huang Wuzi's move, he has won the bet. If Huang Wuzi reneges on the bet and refuses to admit defeat, we can't just..." Di Yuanzi said with a slightly somber expression.

They have already betrayed Lin Langtian twice. Although it was done in secret, it did not escape the notice of some observant people. If they continue to let Huang Wuzi do as he pleases, do the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect have no shame?

Upon hearing this, Tian Yuanzi glanced at Lin Langtian, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and then said.

"Then let's protect Lin Langtian. Judging from that water shield, this kid seems to have some secrets and value. Besides, now that Yuan Cang and the others have been wiped out, the younger generation needs someone to carry the banner. And among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect, there is no one more suitable than Lin Langtian."

As for Huang Wuzi, hmph, giving him a chance is useless. If he goes back on his word, then my Yuan Sect will no longer give him face..."

In the end, a cold glint appeared in Tian Yuanzi's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi exchanged a glance, then nodded and looked back at the arena.

At this moment, Huang Wuzi's expression also changed drastically in the sky. He was the first to notice the weakening of the attack, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his ferocious face.

"Impossible!"

This glint of light only appeared on Huang Wuzi's face for a fleeting moment before being replaced by an even more ferocious expression.

Huang Wuzi absolutely refused to believe that his powerful offensive, wielded by a powerful expert at the Samsara Stage, could be countered by Lin Langtian, who was only at the Life Profound Stage!

"Boom!"

The immense Yuan power roared out of Huang Wuzi's body at this moment without reservation, and then transformed into a raging black and white light, frantically pouring into the thousand-foot-long rainbow of attack, attempting to destroy Lin Langtian's resistance.

However, no matter how he tried to activate it, the strange water shield that shot out from the Luo Water Pearl in Lin Langtian's hand remained motionless, as if it were sitting firmly on Mount Tai, indestructible.

Lin Langtian's face remained calm and undisturbed from beginning to end, as if the scene before him was not strange at all.

However, as he resisted the opponent's fierce attack, a trace of paleness flashed across Lin Langtian's face.

As Luo Liu said, the defensive capabilities of the Luo Water Shield released by the Luo Water Pearl are indeed extraordinary. It can even withstand the fatal blow of Samsara Stage expert, and its effect is extremely terrifying.

However, the amount of elemental and Mental Power it consumes is also quite astonishing.

"Bang!"

Just as Lin Langtian was about to give up, the strange water shield that had been tepid suddenly erupted with astonishing aggression. Faced with this water shield that had suddenly become violent, the black and white light that filled the sky collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bang!

In a short while, the thousand-foot rainbow, like winter snow under the scorching sun, vanished into the sky and the earth, and the originally extremely solemn and tense atmosphere gradually calmed down.

"Lin Langtian won..."

Ling Qingzhu, who had been watching the battle in the sky, finally spoke softly at this moment. Under the thin veil covering her face, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief. It seemed that even someone as calm as her could not remain completely at peace when faced with such a certain death situation.

A look of joy appeared on Su Rou's face as she smiled brightly and said, "I knew Brother Lin Langtian wouldn't lose."

"No wonder my brother recognized me as his sworn brother, it's truly astonishing..." Frost Crow glanced at Jin Wu with eyes as clear as ice crystals, then looked at Lin Langtian and murmured in surprise.

Whether it was wiping out the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect in the Abyssal Demon Domain or taking the fatal blow from Samsara Stage expert, Lin Langtian's performance was truly astonishing.

"Brother, he succeeded!" Jin Wu exclaimed with delight upon seeing this.

"Impressive tactics, Jin Wu. It seems your adopted elder brother is indeed extraordinary." A hint of surprise appeared on Wu Xuan's indifferent face, and he exclaimed in admiration.

"If Big Brother wants to do something, there's nothing he can't do," Jin Wu said with a light laugh, his calm words revealing boundless trust in Lin Langtian.

"Oh..." Hearing Jin Wu's trust in Lin Langtian, Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then pondered and said, "Have you told him about your matter? I will take you back to the family soon."

Once the clan's higher-ups officially confirm your identity as the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow, even if some old guys are dissatisfied with your parents, they will no longer prevent you from returning to the clan. After all, you are now the second person besides our clan's first ancestor to possess the bloodline of the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow.

The importance of the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow bloodline to our clan is self-evident. I even have a feeling that once you return to the clan, there's a very high chance you'll be considered Clan Leader Candidate. At that time, you'll be able to accumulate your own power and rescue your parents.

"Rescue our parents..." Upon hearing this, Jin Wu's expression hardened, and his hands clenched tightly. However, he shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent for now. I want to handle my own affairs, so I won't trouble you, elder brother."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly, "Lin Langtian is only at the Life Profound Stage right now. Although his methods are remarkable, he really can't be of much help to you."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wu frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "Uncle Wu Xuan, you have overstepped your bounds. No one can judge my elder brother's abilities."

Even with my Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow bloodline, I wouldn't dare say I surpass my elder brother. From what I see, with your talent, it would only take you a few years to catch up to Uncle Wu Xuan.

"You caught up with me in just a few years?" Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan was taken aback, a look of suspicion appearing on his face.

You must know that he is a Samsara Stage expert, on par with the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect, while Lin Langtian is only at the Life Profound Stage Small Success. The difference between the two is like an insurmountable chasm, a gap that ordinary people can never cross in their entire lives.

Even though Wu Xuan acknowledged Lin Langtian's extraordinary talent, he didn't believe the latter could close the gap in just a few years; it would take at least several decades.

However, seeing Jin Wu's confident expression, Wu Xuan hesitated to speak. Even Jin Wu, who possessed the bloodline of the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow, was ashamed of himself and willingly became his subordinate. It seemed that Lin Langtian must have something unique about him.

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan looked at the tall, slender figure in the green robe again and fell silent.

He was quite curious to see how far this boy would grow in a few years...

On the other side, Huang Wuzi's face suddenly turned gloomy and ferocious when he saw that he had failed to kill Lin Langtian with his move. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"What is that water shield of yours? This is definitely not your power. This move is useless!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian laughed in anger. He had never seen such a shameless person. A powerful expert in the Samsara Stage had no shame at all.

"Is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect really such a shameless person? The agreement of one move did not stipulate that I was not allowed to use external force. Or does Sect Master Huang mean that I should not resist and just obediently accept my death?"

"After all, you are Samsara Stage expert, while I am only at the Life Profound Stage. There is no comparison between us."

Hearing Lin Langtian's sarcastic remarks, Huang Wuzi's lips twitched slightly, and his face turned extremely ugly.

He had thought that even if Lin Langtian had some skills, he should still be dead without a burial place in the face of his full-force attack, since even Death Profound Stage expert could not withstand his sure-kill move.

But who would have thought that this kid's methods were so bizarre? A seemingly ordinary water shield actually blocked his fatal attack.

Having his attack blocked, according to the previous bet, the grudges between the Heavenly Profound Sect and Lin Langtian were now settled and the matter was considered settled.

In other words, nearly six hundred elite disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, including his son Xuan Tian, all died in vain in the Abyssal Demon Domain.

Thinking of this, Huang Wuzi's eyes instantly turned red, and his expression as he looked at Lin Langtian was extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"Kid, I'll kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Huang Wuzi's eyes. Then, he clenched his fist, and the immense energy that had merged with the power of life and death roared out.

The next moment, this energy transformed into a massive black and white seal, thousands of feet in size, in the sky, from which indescribable and terrifying fluctuations emanated wildly.

"The Life and Death Seal!"

Huang Wuzi waved his sleeve, and the enormous black and white seal roared out, then fiercely suppressed Lin Langtian. Where the black and white seal landed, even space itself seemed to show signs of collapse.

Lin Langtian looked up, his eyes fixed on the black and white seal that was pressing down on him. His expression changed slightly. Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to activate the Luo Water Shield again, a cold laugh rang in his ears.

"The dignified Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect is so shameless as to break his promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Yin Fiend Qi appeared out of thin air around Lin Langtian, and then Wu Xuan's figure flashed in front of Lin Langtian without anyone noticing.

Wu Xuan raised his large hand, and terrifying Yin Fiend Qi gathered in his palm before he slammed it heavily onto the black and white seal.

Click, click!

At the point of contact, the Yin Fiend Qi spread out at an astonishing speed. In just an instant, the black and white seal was covered by the Yin Fiend Qi, and the vast life and death power within it was completely dissipated by the chilling aura.

Bang!

The black and white seal finally collapsed completely, and as it shattered, Wu Xuan pulled Lin Langtian away from Huang Wuzi's attack range.

Seeing this, Huang Wuzi was about to attack again when he ran into the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect who had arrived late.

"Huang Wuzi, my Yuan Sect has already given your Heavenly Profound Sect enough face. The one-move agreement is over. If you continue to pester me like this, then if you want to start Sect War, my Yuan Sect will have no choice but to accompany you to the end." Tian Yuanzi stared at Huang Wuzi and said calmly.

Seeing Tian Yuanzi step forward, Lin Langtian's lips curled into a disdainful smile. These three Cunning Old Man always liked to drag things out like this. Luckily, he was alive, otherwise he would have been tricked to death long ago.

If they had shown up any later, Lin Langtian planned to leave the sect and settle accounts with them another day.

In the sky, Huang Wuzi stared at Tian Yuanzi and the other two, his face darkening. Deep down, he knew that Tian Yuanzi and the other two had indeed gone easy on him, giving his Heavenly Profound Sect a lot of face.

But who could have imagined that a mere youth at the Life Profound Stage would be so difficult to kill? Now that the great opportunity has been missed, there is clearly no excuse to hold Lin Langtian accountable.

After all, he had made a promise in front of everyone. If he went back on his word, he would lose face and reputation, not only in the Eastern Xuan Region but also in the Western Xuan Region.

"Tian Yuanzi, let's leave Lin Langtian's matter behind. However, if we meet again in the future, Sect Master will not let this boy off easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Wuzi turned his gaze to Lin Langtian, a ferocious and murderous glint appearing deep in his eyes.

After uttering those harsh words, Huang Wuzi waved his sleeve, distorting space, and his figure vanished. Following closely behind, the other Three Titans of Heavenly Profound also disappeared.

Seeing this, before Lin Langtian could even breathe a sigh of relief, Tian Xuanzi suddenly looked in the direction where Lin Dong and his two brothers were, gave Lin Dong a meaningful smile, and laughed.

"Now that the conflict with the Heavenly Profound Sect is resolved, it's time to get back to the main topic, isn't it, Lin Dong and the Heavenly Demon Marten..."
