Cripple Lin Langtian

Lin Langtian glared furiously at Lin Ke'er and the others. Just as he was about to display his authority, his pupils suddenly contracted. At some unknown point, someone had appeared before him!

"Lin Xuan!"

Instinctively, Lin Langtian shouted the name he regarded as a nightmare!

Dressed in white, Lin Xuan stood before Lin Langtian. There was not the slightest fluctuation of aura around him, yet everyone present could clearly see that Lin Langtian's body had begun to tremble.

Slowly turning his head, Lin Xuan looked at Lin Langtian with indifferent eyes. That detached gaze only multiplied the pressure Lin Langtian felt, making him involuntarily take a step back.

"I heard you command the clan's Enforcement Team?"

After a single glance, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze from Lin Langtian. He had no desire to waste his attention or his mood on a dead man.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Lin Langtian seemed to find a little more courage. He forced himself to lift his head and stared at Lin Xuan's profile, speaking with a trace of arrogance.

"That's right. Since he has committed—"

"Then do you know why the clan's Enforcement Team was established?"

Ignoring Lin Langtian's reply, Lin Xuan began speaking to himself after hearing the answer he wanted. Without caring about Lin Langtian's expression, he calmly stated a fact.

"The clan's Enforcement Team exists to bring all clan members who violate the clan rules back to the clan, where they await the judgment of the elders on the Elder Council!"

(Elders were divided into two categories: those on the Elder Council and ordinary elders.)

"No matter how grave his crimes are, so long as he is a member of our Lin Clan, he must be brought back to the Lin Clan for the clan itself to judge!"

Though Lin Xuan's voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable dominance. As he spoke, he turned his head slightly, his placid eyes falling upon Wang Yan. In an instant, Wang Yan's back was drenched in cold sweat.

"Never mind whether Lin Dong stole something from the Wang Clan—even if he slaughtered the entire Wang Clan, the Enforcement Team's duty would still be to bring him back to the clan alive!"

If Lin Xuan's voice had merely carried dominance before, then what he said now could no longer be called domineering. It was practically a thoroughly reasonable kind of unreasonable arrogance.

Yet faced with Lin Xuan's words, no one present dared to refute him. Forget Wang Yan—he even felt that if his father, Wang Lei, were personally present, he probably would not dare let out a single peep.

If Wang Yan was not mistaken, this monster had already broken through to the Nirvana Realm. With his almost savage combat strength, the only person in the Great Yan Dynasty who could possibly stand as his opponent was likely Emperor Mo Jingtian.

As for the members of the Lin Clan, upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, pride flashed in every one of their eyes. They were proud of the word Lin in their names!

This was their Lin Clan!

"Did you fulfill that duty?"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan's tone gradually turned cold. He slowly turned around, his icy gaze fixed directly on Lin Langtian.

"I'm asking you: back then, did you forcibly seize Lin Feng's resources?"

"Hmph! He was nothing but trash. What right did he have to occupy those resources?"

Lin Langtian snorted, speaking with a face full of contempt. Yet Lin Xuan did not refute him. Instead, he nodded slightly and softly sighed.

"That's right. He was nothing but trash. What right did he have to occupy so many of the family's resources?"

The moment Lin Xuan finished speaking, his entire figure flickered. By the time everyone reacted, Lin Xuan was already standing before Lin Langtian, with less than a foot between them.

"Pfft!"

Before anyone could see what had happened, Lin Langtian was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

However, just as the blood was about to splatter onto Lin Xuan's face, it was stopped by an invisible barrier.

"You occupied so many of the family's resources, yet only barely reached the Qi Creation Realm. Calling you trash is already giving you too much credit. If anyone else here had been given those resources, they would have at least reached the Half-Step Creation Realm. You're nothing but trash, yet you dare look down on others?"

Lin Xuan unusually said a few more words, his gaze toward Lin Langtian filled with contempt. As he spoke, he slowly withdrew his extended Sword Finger.

At that moment, Lin Langtian, who had been knocked to the ground by Lin Xuan, discovered in horror that there was now a wound at his Dantian. Even the Origin Power fluctuations around his body were continuously weakening.

Raising his head, Lin Langtian stared at Lin Xuan with utter disbelief and muttered to himself.

"How is that possible? How dare you? How dare you cripple me?!"

It was not only Lin Langtian. Everyone else also stared in disbelief at Lin Langtian, who had fallen to the ground as his aura continuously deflated like a punctured ball.

In merely a few breaths, Lin Langtian's aura had fallen from the initial stage of the Qi Creation Realm to the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm—and it was still dropping.

Within the crowd, Lin Dong watched as Lin Xuan crippled Lin Langtian on the spot, and a sense of satisfaction could not help rising in his heart.

Although he felt some regret at being unable to avenge his father personally, seeing Lin Langtian receive the retribution he deserved still left Lin Dong immensely gratified.

Beside him, Wang Yan and Qin Shi both felt their hearts tighten as they watched Lin Xuan cripple Lin Langtian so effortlessly. Wang Yan, in particular, could not help turning to glare at Wang Pan.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes also narrowed. Just now, even she had been completely unable to perceive how Lin Xuan had made his move. With such strength, even if she too entered the Nirvana Realm, she feared she would find it difficult to surpass him.

I definitely won't lose to you!

Staring at Lin Xuan's back, Ling Qingzhu clenched her fists tightly.

Lin Xuan, who was being watched, merely glanced at Lin Langtian before speaking in an even tone.

"Why not show yourself, sir? Of course, if you dare take over his body, then perhaps Lin Xuan can let you experience Lin Xuan's swordsmanship!"

As he spoke, a chilling sword intent erupted from Lin Xuan and locked directly onto the primordial spirit within Lin Langtian's body. The cold aura, along with his words, made everyone present change expression at once.

"So there's a primordial spirit inside Lin Langtian too. No wonder someone with talent as utterly worthless as his could become the Lin Clan's number one genius!"

Little Marten's voice of sudden realization echoed within Lin Dong's heart.
