Enemies Face to Face

"Shentu Nantian! You!"

Lin Xiaodie glared angrily at Shentu Nantian, while Shentu Nantian casually lowered his head, looking at the palm he had just struck out with, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

"My guess was right; indeed, the laws of the secret realm vanished along with the formation!"

"What a pity... I wonder when that little bastard Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong will come out. If they've entered the treasure vault, I won't be able to do anything to them... But if they come out, I can take this opportunity to get my revenge. I can cripple their martial arts and take away the opportunities they obtained in the treasure vault!"

Shentu Nantian slowly clenched his hand into a fist, his knuckles cracking.

Since entering the Empress Secret Realm, he had been suppressed by the rules, but now he can finally unleash his power!

He raised his head with a cold smile and looked at the Lin family's trial participants.

Before this, many of the Lin family's trainees had already been eliminated. Apart from Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong, only four people remained.

This included Lin Xiaodie and Lin Fengyue, who entered the Empress Secret Realm with Yi Yun, and the other two were Li Daoxuan and Lin Lang.

"Tell me, what kind of opportunity did you lot obtain in the God Descending Tower?" Shentu Nantian grinned maliciously, approaching step by step.

Lin Xiaodie, Li Daoxuan, and Lin Fengyue had already touched their Space Ring. Lin Lang, who was injured, also mustered his strength, stood up, and became highly vigilant.

Originally, protected by the rules of the Empress Secret Realm, they were not afraid of Shentu Nantian. However, Shentu Nantian's attack just now meant that the protective laws of the Empress Secret Realm had failed.

These Lin family disciples were all sharp-minded individuals, and they immediately grasped the key point. In an instant, everyone became highly tense.

The protective rules within the Empress Secret Realm likely disappeared along with the array's energy.

This is absolutely terrible news; none of them are a match for Shentu Nantian!

"Hand over all the opportunities you've received, and let me assess their quality!"

Even the slightest opportunity within the Empress Secret Realm is extraordinary. Shentu Nantian is now planning to openly rob it; not only rob it, he intends to kill and seize it!

Anyway, the Shentu Family and the Lin family had already broken off relations long ago, so what if they killed someone?

Unable to kill Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong, he could at least vent his anger by targeting other Lin family disciples. Besides, right now, he could only target the Lin family. As for other forces, Shentu Nantian was worried that they would unite against him.

The four disciples of the Lin family formed a battle formation, but the oldest among them was only twenty-three years old, and even their cultivation level was inferior to Shentu Nantian's, so their strength was no match for Shentu Nantian!

Shentu Nantian is a renowned figure among the younger generation in the Tianyuan Realm. He follows a path of slowing down his cultivation and solidifying his foundation, which makes his ability to fight beyond his level unmatched among his peers!

In this situation, even if they were at the peak of the Dao Seed Realm, they would have no chance of contending with Shentu Nantian.

"Hmph! Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Shentu Nantian sneered and drew his sword. Ever since Yi Yun snatched his sword, every time Shentu Nantian drew his sword, he would think of the humiliation he suffered in the Lin family and feel extreme hatred.

Now is the time to vent our hatred.

"Haha, Brother Nantian, why don't we deal with these small fry?" The other members of Shentu Nantian's Lineage gathered around.

But Shentu Nantian simply waved his hand and said, "I'm enough on my own."

"Will you hand over the opportunity you've obtained now, or will I kill you, erase the Divine Seal from your Space Ring, and search for it bit by bit?" Shentu Nantian enjoyed the feeling of having power and doing whatever he wanted. His strength was almost the highest in the entire arena, which was a deterrent in itself.

Moreover, before entering the God Descending Tower, the Shentu Family also reached an agreement with these forces when selling information to jointly attack the Lin family.

"What should we do? We're probably no match for him..." Lin Lang said through telepathy among the four.

"There's no other way but to fight to the death!" Lin Xiaodie's voice was cold and resolute. "Even if we hand over the contents of our Space Ring, he won't let us go! He's probably already decided to kill us all!"

Lin Xiaodie sensed the murderous intent in Shentu Nantian's eyes.

Shentu Nantian laughed heartily, "Little beauty, you're quite clever. You're strong and beautiful, it would be a shame to kill you! Actually, I can spare your life. I have Dual Cultivation technique that requires a talented young woman to be my furnace. I see you seem to still be a virgin. How about it? Submit to me, swear an oath against your inner demons, and become my furnace, and I might consider letting you go."

"Pah!" Lin Xiaodie spat. "Go find a female dog for Dual Cultivation!"

How could a proud woman like Lin Xiaodie possibly Human Furnace? That would be worse than killing her.

Shentu Nantian was well aware of this. His flippant words were actually meant to mock Lin Xiaodie and, incidentally, trample on the Lin family's dignity.

It was all because of Yi Yun and the Lin Family Old Matriarch that Shentu Nantian harbored such deep hatred for the Lin family!

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Shentu Nantian's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He circulated his vital energy throughout his body, and his Longsword was about to strike. But at that moment, his body suddenly froze!

"Um!?"

Shentu Nantian suddenly turned around and looked at the space not far behind him. There, in the void, more than a dozen crimson-gold light spots appeared out of thin air. These light spots rotated and expanded instantly. In the center of the light spots, a gate of light appeared.

The figures of a boy and a girl slowly stepped out from the portal of light.

The girl was dressed in a white dress, with an ethereal air and a face as beautiful as the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his face was angular as if it had been sculpted by an axe. He was dressed in a blue robe, like a scholar, but he also held a longbow in his hand. The longbow was entirely golden, wrapped with blood-red patterns, and two dragons were carved on the tips of the bow. On the backs of the dragons were sharp blades.

A bow, imposing and powerful, clearly a divine bow, added a touch of menacing aura to the otherwise scholarly young man.

"Yi Yun! Lin Xin Tong!"

Upon seeing the young boy and girl appear, Shentu Nantian was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed!

These two people actually showed up at this crucial moment; it couldn't have been more perfect.

He was just worried about not being able to find them, but they came to him on their own!

"Hahahaha!" Shentu Nantian laughed wildly; he was too excited.

His hatred for Yi Yun had evolved into an indelible inner demon; he thought of revenge day and night.

But Yi Yun was protected by the Lin family, so he couldn't succeed.

What pained Shentu Nantian the most was that he discovered that Yi Yun, a commoner from a lowly background, actually had more talent than him!

Shentu Nantian was extremely arrogant, and he was unwilling to believe this, but the facts were right in front of him. He was afraid that if Yi Yun grew up, he might not be a match for Yi Yun in a few decades!

Unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the better.

Lin Xin Tong is also a source of pain for Shentu Nantian. He had originally regarded Lin Xin Tong as his woman, but now she is about to be taken by Yi Yun.

"Yi Yun! Sister Xin Tong! Why are you out now?" Lin Xiaodie and the others were anxious when they saw Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong. They all thought that Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong had just finished their trial and had just happened to come out.

Their appearance at this moment was like lambs to the slaughter.

"The guardian rules of the Empress Secret Realm have failed!" Lin Fengyue reminded Lin Xin Tong telepathically.

Shentu Nantian had already guessed what they were talking about, so there was no point in reminding them now.

"You've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven!"

Shentu Nantian ignored Lin Xiaodie and the others, and turned to walk towards Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun.

He paid a little more attention to Lin Xin Tong, but as for Yi Yun, he didn't take him seriously at all; he was just a poor man who was only a little over half his age.

Those who participated in the trials from other factions were filled with envy upon witnessing this scene.

Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun were originally the most talented in the assessment, and they were so late in coming out; they might have received some extra benefits. But now it seems that Shentu Nantian will be the one to keep all of these things for himself. (To be continued~^~)
