Martial Arts Master: The Lin Family Sword God, who swept through the Five Mountains and Four Sects

As Lin Tian's most fervent follower, his blade is an extension of Lin Tian's will. No words are needed; a single strike is fatal.

Although Shangguan Yun was an elder of the Sun Moon Sect and his strength had reached the Lesser Acquired Realm, he was nothing more than a chicken or a dog in front of Lin Yi, who had cultivated the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual to the Perfect Acquired Realm.

Sheathing his sword, Lin Yi stood silently beside Lin Tian, ​​his face expressionless.

But no one in the room dared to underestimate this seemingly fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Even Ren Woxing's pupils constricted, his wariness of Lin Tian deepening.

Because everyone can see that Lin Yi only follows Lin Tianma's lead.

Moreover, Lin Yi was accompanied by two similarly dressed teenagers. If they also possessed equal combat power, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flickered slightly. Although his internal energy was completely sealed, his eyesight remained.

Lin Yi's ghostly movements when he drew his sword just now were remarkably similar to those of the "Sunflower Manual." To dare use such a forbidden skill to train his subordinates shows astonishing courage—truly worthy of being the man I, Dongfang Bubai, have set my sights on.

……

Shangguan Yun, a mere extra among extras, might at most drop a blue card, but he wouldn't even warrant a second glance from Lin Tian.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Lin Tian glanced at the corpse indifferently. "In your next life, remember this lesson."

His gaze shifted and landed on Ren Woxing.

Linghu Chong finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin, what are you doing here?"

Lin Tian glanced at him wryly, his tone helpless: "Shouldn't I be asking you that? The seventh of the Seven Commandments of Mount Hua is—'Avoid associating with bandits and forbidding alliances with evil spirits.' Not only have you violated all of them, but you've also colluded with top-tier demons like Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Ren Yingying. Could it be that you intend to betray the Mount Hua Sect?"

"No...no!"

Linghu Chong's expression froze. He subconsciously glanced at Ren Yingying beside him, his Adam's apple bobbing as he whispered, "I never intended to betray Mount Hua... it's just that some things are simply too difficult to say."

"Difficult to talk about?"

Lin Tian sneered, his eyes mocking: "Brother Linghu, do you still remember that night at Huiyan Tower? I told you then—you're a fool at heart."

"What do you mean?" Linghu Chong frowned, his brows furrowing.

Ren Yingying, however, keenly sensed the meaningful look Lin Tian gave her, and alarm bells rang in her heart. She hurriedly grabbed Linghu Chong's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Chong, he saved Dongfang Bubai, he must be in cahoots with her! Don't listen to his provocations, let's join forces to eliminate our powerful enemy first!"

Linghu Chong gently shook his head, his tone firm: "No. Brother Lin saved my life, I trust him. Besides... he is the one you speak of—the Deadly Sword God."

"The Deadly Sword God Lin Tian?!" Ren Yingying exclaimed in shock.

Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Lan Fenghuang, who were standing to the side, all had their expressions change drastically.

How could Lin Tian, ​​the number one master of the righteous path, get involved with Dongfang Bubai, who is being hunted down by all the righteous sects in the world?

Even more outrageous is that the relationship between the two seems to go beyond just being allies...

"What? You don't accept it?"

Lin Tian chuckled twice, his eyes sharp as knives. "Brother Linghu, you met Ren Yingying outside Luoyang City. You were bitten by a poisonous snake, and she happened to be passing by and rescued you. Out of gratitude, you went with her to Blackwood Cliff to rescue Ren Woxing, right?"

"That's true." Linghu Chong frowned slightly. "But how did you know that?"

Lin Tian didn't answer, but simply continued, "Then do you know that the snake that bit you was called a Red-banded Snake? It's unique to Miao territory and extinct in the Central Plains. Its venom is extremely potent; death is certain in an instant. And yet, just when you were bitten, she happened to appear; after saving you, she 'just happened' to be on her way to save her father? With so many coincidences piling up, didn't you ever suspect—that this whole thing was a setup?"

Linghu Chong is not a fool.

On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent—otherwise, Feng Qingyang would not have passed on the Dugu Nine Swords to him.

However, he is sentimental and easily blinded by emotions.

His face turned pale and then flushed as Lin Tian exposed him to his face.

Over the past two weeks, he and Ren Yingying have spent every day together, and they have already developed feelings for each other.

"Yingying..." His voice trembled slightly, pain showing in his eyes, "You...you've been using me all along?"

Ren Yingying's expression changed slightly, and her fingertips trembled.

She was not entirely heartless; the current situation allowed no room for error.

"Brother Chong, it's not what you think, let me explain—"

In a panic, she suddenly looked up, pointed at Lin Tian, ​​and demanded sharply, "What makes you know all this? Have you been having people spy on Brother Chong all this time? What are your intentions?!"

"Spy on him?" Lin Tian scoffed. "Miss Ren, you overestimate me. If Brother Linghu were a beauty, perhaps I'd actually be interested in pursuing him..."

"Oh? My beauty, so you're good at following people?"

A cold, eerie female voice suddenly rang out from behind Lin Tian, ​​its chill as sharp as a blade, sending a shiver down his spine.

Oops!

Forgot there was a menacing figure standing behind him!

Lin Tian immediately sat up straight and coughed twice, saying, "Miss Ren, you misunderstand. Half a month ago, Xiang Wentian personally came to Fuwei Escort Agency, asking me to go to West Lake to rescue Ren Woxing, but I kicked him out. However, I was curious about your next move, so I casually sent someone to keep an eye on you—I have to thank Brother Xiang, if it weren't for you leading the way, how would I have known that Dongfang would be robbed this time?"

Xiang Wentian's face instantly turned ashen.

Instead of being able to ask for help, one becomes a pawn in someone else's scheme—it's an utter disgrace.

Ren Woxing was furious, cursing Xiang Wentian in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface—cursing was useless, the situation was completely out of control.

Lin Tian stood in front, his aura as deep as an abyss, and an invisible pressure swept over them.

Those in the Acquired Realm instinctively submit to those in the Innate Realm.

In addition, there were three white-clad guards behind him, each with a sword in hand, their eyes cold and their killing intent lurking.

Ren Woxing knew perfectly well that killing Dongfang Bubai today was no longer an option.

But how could he be willing to give up now?

Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-century occurrence!

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly burst into laughter, "Brother Lin, I understand—you like Dongfang Bubai, don't you?"

"Yes." Lin Tian nodded frankly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a blush crept onto the tips of the ears of the man behind him.

"Brother Lin, do you know about the 'Sunflower Manual' that Dongfang Bubai practiced?" Ren Woxing squinted, his tone gloomy, as if he were throwing out a bomb that had been planted long ago.

"Who in this martial world doesn't know this?" Lin Tian chuckled, a slight smile playing on his lips. He had already seen right through Ren Woxing's little scheme—this guy was probably going to make a fuss about those eight words.

"Fine! Then I'll tell you today what the first principle of the Sunflower Manual is!" Ren Woxing's gaze was like a knife as he stared intently at Lin Tian, ​​a mocking smile playing on his lips. He could already imagine the scene where Lin Tian's face would collapse and he would turn against Dongfang Bubai in the next second.

He was so engrossed in the dramatic scene he had imagined that he didn't notice that both Lin Tian and Dongfang Bubai behind him were looking at him with a mixture of mockery and amusement.

"The opening eight characters of the Sunflower Manual are..." Ren Woxing paused, feigning profundity, before revealing the answer—

"To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself," Lin Tian replied calmly, his tone as if he were remarking on the pleasant weather.
