Battle Against Lin Langtian

Lin Langtian's expression instantly darkened. He glared at Cang Wu, his eyes gloomy, and clenched his fists so tightly that the muscles in his face twitched.

If not for the Primordial Spirit inside him constantly warning him, Lin Langtian would have already attacked Cang Wu.

Ever since he had encountered that mysterious Primordial Spirit, when had Lin Langtian ever suffered such humiliation?

He, Lin Langtian, was the Lin Clan's greatest genius!

Everyone who had looked down on him in the past had already been punished. Now, throughout the entire Great Yan Dynasty, who would dare to slight him?

Who didn't look at him with admiration the moment they heard his name?

The younger generation of the Lin Clan all regarded him as a god they could never surpass!

And now, some nobody who had appeared out of nowhere dared to insult and look down on him like this?

Lin Langtian wanted nothing more than to tear the man before him to pieces. However, the vast gap in their strength left him no choice but to endure it.

Yet the more he endured, the stronger the killing intent in his heart grew. He had sworn that no one could look down on him. He would avenge today's humiliation sooner or later!

Seeing Lin Langtian's expression shift repeatedly, Cang Wu chuckled and said,

"Interesting. If you want revenge on me, that's not impossible. But first, you'll have to pass one more test before you're worthy of standing at my door!"

As he spoke, Cang Wu looked down at Lin Dong, who stood below, and beckoned to him with a smile.

"Kid, here's your chance to get revenge."

At Cang Wu's words, everyone's gaze turned to Lin Dong.

Although most people had no idea what this sudden turn of events was about, that didn't stop them from enjoying the show.

This was especially true of Wang Yan and the members of the Wang Clan. After all, they had never gotten along with the Lin Clan.

However, Wang Yan and the Wang Clan probably wouldn't have expected that before long, they would become someone else's target.

Lin Dong felt a little awkward, but with an opportunity right in front of him, he naturally wouldn't back down.

He leaped onto Xiao Yan's back. Without needing Lin Dong to say a word, Xiao Yan spread his wings and gave them a powerful flap, carrying Lin Dong into the air.

"Roar!"

Once he was airborne, Xiao Yan even turned and roared at the Azure Luan beneath Qin Shi. Clearly, he was unhappy with the oppressive aura the bird had released when it appeared.

Yet the Azure Luan, a Form Creation Realm beast, seemed wary of Xiao Yan, who was only at the Primal Core Realm Great Perfection. It let out a piercing cry.

"Caw!"

Qin Shi's expression grew awkward too. He hadn't expected a Form Creation Realm Azure Luan to be somewhat wary of Xiao Yan, who was only at the Primal Core Realm Great Perfection.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but sneer.

"Qin Shi, looks like your family's Azure Luan isn't all that impressive. It's actually afraid of a beast at the Primal Core Realm Great Perfection!"

"Roar!!"

Xiao Yan let out an angry roar, and a fierce, savage aura burst from his body. Little Marten, inside Lin Dong, saw this and immediately egged him on.

"Why not take them both on, Lin Dong? Heh. You're robbing one anyway, so you might as well rob two. One more opponent won't make a difference!"

Lin Dong ignored the stupid marten completely. He was already struggling to deal with Lin Langtian. If Wang Yan joined in as well, even with Little Marten's help, he probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Still, although he paid Little Marten no heed, Lin Dong made a mental note of Wang Yan.

Steadying himself, Lin Dong looked at Lin Langtian's disdainful face, drew a deep breath, and said coldly,

"Lin Langtian, do you remember Lin Xiao? At the last clan gathering, you seriously injured him with one palm and damaged his meridians."

"Hmm? You mean that useless piece of trash who couldn't even withstand one of my attacks and nearly died?"

Lin Langtian paused, then sneered, his face full of mockery.

"So you're that good-for-nothing's son. Since you want to challenge me, I'll give you the chance. I hope you won't end up like your useless father and get crippled with one palm!"

Lin Langtian didn't take Lin Dong's challenge seriously at all. If Cang Wu weren't standing nearby, he wouldn't have even bothered with a weakling's so-called challenge.

But he had no choice. Cang Wu had spoken. If Lin Langtian refused to fight Lin Dong, Cang Wu might drag him into a fight instead—and then he'd be done for.

What Lin Langtian didn't know was that even if he fought Lin Dong, Cang Wu would still spar with him afterward. Just not now.

"Useless?"

Lin Dong's gaze turned cold. He lowered his head and gave a quiet laugh.

The next moment, Lin Dong's aura changed abruptly. A savage, murderous presence, as violent as a ferocious beast, spread from him, accompanied by a thick stench of blood.

Wang Yan and Qin Shi's expressions shifted. They stared at Lin Dong in shock, as if they were looking at a monster.

No—as far as they were concerned, he was a monster. That stench of blood clinging to him... Did this guy spend every night sleeping beside the corpses of demonic beasts?

In a way, Wang Yan and Qin Shi weren't far off the mark.

Sometimes, to get some rest and avoid being ambushed by other demonic beasts, Lin Dong really did sleep while clutching the severed limbs of Form Creation Realm beasts or wrapping himself in their blood.

With his aura fully unleashed, Lin Dong's eyes grew fierce and savage.

He leaped from Xiao Yan's back and charged at Lin Langtian. Before he could even reach him, several flying swords shot toward Lin Langtian.

"Hmph! You overestimate yourself!"

Lin Dong's aura had startled Lin Langtian, but only for a moment. Once he recovered, Lin Langtian let out a cold snort.

He waved a hand, and a surge of violent Primal Energy instantly forced all the flying swords back.

By then, Lin Dong had reached him. He swung a fist at Lin Langtian, but Lin Langtian didn't even raise an eyelid. He simply reached out and caught Lin Dong's hand.

Lin Dong's expression changed, but he reacted quickly. Using his fist as a pivot, he kicked at Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian merely snorted. He raised his other hand, violent Primal Energy gathering in his palm, and struck at Lin Dong's leg.

"Boom!"

The violent Primal Energy erupted, instantly shattering Lin Dong's Primal Energy. Even his powerful Spiritual Power couldn't withstand the impact.

Lin Dong was sent flying. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he used his Devouring Power to swallow most of the force and avoid serious injury.

Still, that brief exchange had made Lin Dong realize the difference in their strength.
