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

"How...how did you know?!" Ren Woxing's pupils shrank, and he was stunned on the spot.

"How could I not know?" Lin Tian scoffed. "The complete copy of the Sunflower Manual that Dongfang has was one I personally helped her find. Want me to pull it out and read you a couple of passages?"

"Then...then why..." Ren Woxing stammered, his mind a complete mess.

"I must thank Master Ren."

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, her voice clear and cold as snow: "Dongfang was originally a woman, and the cultivation method she practiced only reached the Acquired Perfection stage. If it weren't for Leader Ren bestowing upon me the Sunflower Manual, how could I have broken through to the Innate stage? Today, I have also received your gift of Gu worms to help me condense my Qi. Within three days, my internal energy will form a powerful force, and I will soon be able to step into the Innate Perfection stage. Leader Ren has truly gone to great lengths to pave the way for my martial arts path."

"Wh...what?! Impossible!!"

Ren Woxing felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his chest jolted, and a metallic taste rose in his throat—

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

I fucking...

Ren Woxing was so angered by Dongfang Bubai that he vomited blood, and Lin Tian almost vomited blood as well.

Internal energy reaching its peak? Innate perfection?

Holy crap...

Is this progress bar being pulled way too fast? Are you wearing the protagonist's halo, Dongfang? Are you sure you're not using any cheat codes?

Lin Tian had originally estimated that Dongfang was at most at the Lesser Completion of the Innate Realm. That's why he dared to give away the complete "Sunflower Manual" without worry.

Even with extraordinary talent, at most one could reach the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm in half a year.

With his current cultivation level of Lesser Completion of the Innate Realm, coupled with the suppression of the dual intents of Death and Earth, he has a 90% chance of defeating a Greater Completion of the Innate Realm.

But what if one were to face someone with perfect innate abilities...?

That's hard to say.

The reason why he was able to kill the old eunuch who had reached the peak of the Innate Realm when he was at the peak of the Acquired Realm was because the old eunuch was old and frail and his combat power was not at its peak; and also because he succeeded by deception - the old eunuch underestimated him and stepped into the trap he set.

But the East?

Lin Tian didn't believe she would make such a basic mistake.

Even more terrifying is that—internal energy is transformed into a protective aura, making the body three feet around it like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron, and the defense skyrockets to an absurd level.

Whew...

Why did I have to be so stupid as to give her the full version?!

No! I shouldn't take the blame for this!

It's all Ren Woxing's fault, that incompetent teammate!

If you hadn't interfered, wouldn't everything be under my control?

Lin Tian shifted the blame faster than flipping through a book.

"Lin Tian!" Ren Woxing roared, his anger turning into a mocking laugh. He pointed at Lin Tian's nose and shouted, "You, a member of the righteous path, have actually colluded with the demonic witch Dongfang Bubai! Aren't you afraid that the righteous path of the world will rise up against you?!"

A demonic cult? A demoness?

When these words came out of Ren Woxing's mouth, Lin Tian felt so absurd that he wanted to laugh.

"A demonic cult? A witch?" He glanced at her sideways, his face full of sneer. "Coming from your mouth, it sounds like a joke."

Then, his tone suddenly turned cold:

"The righteous path of the world condemns me? Ha... I've never been afraid of anyone. If anyone dares to come, I wouldn't hesitate to draw my sword and slaughter the entire martial arts world."

Slaughter...slaughter the entire martial arts world?

If anyone else had said that, Ren Woxing would have laughed out loud long ago.

But it had to be Lin Tian.

Slaughtering Qingcheng, destroying Songshan, suppressing Shaolin... which of these was not done by him alone with his sword?

Now, add to that the imminent arrival of Dongfang Bubai, who is about to reach the pinnacle of the Innate Realm...

This statement seems... to be true, not just boasting.

Ren Woxing has gone silent.

Xiang Wentian remained silent.

Ren Yingying lowered her head.

The air was deathly still.

Behind Lin Tian, ​​Dongfang Bubai gazed at his back, her eyes sparkling like melting snow in spring water, almost drowning him in the depths of her gaze.

For my sake, are you willing to become an enemy of the entire martial arts world?

At that moment, Dongfang Bubai felt that no amount of power or lasting dominance could compare to Lin Tian's single glance.

……

"and……"

Lin Tian paused, then chuckled softly, "Do you think today's events can still get out?"

The words fell to the ground—

Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Ren Yingying's expressions changed drastically! They stared intently at Lin Tian, ​​their hearts sinking. How ruthless! This was an attempt to silence everyone, leaving no one alive!

But they forgot that when they climbed Blackwood Cliff, weren't they also there to take Dongfang Bubai's life? What's with all this talk of justice and fairness? They're righteous when killing others, but when it comes to themselves, they suddenly feel that heaven and earth are unjust?

Ren Woxing's eyes flashed with cold light, and he thrust out with both palms! A powerful suction force, like a splitting abyss, rushed straight towards Lin Tian!

He roared, "Brother Xiang, take Yingying and run! Escape! If you survive, avenge me!!"

He knew that Lin Tian, ​​who was at the Innate Realm, was someone he could not contend with.

However, he was confident in his internal energy, which far surpassed the peak of the Acquired Realm, and his combat strength barely reached the threshold of the initial stage of the Innate Realm. Even if he could only hold her off for a few breaths, it would be enough for his daughter to escape!

"Still thinking about revenge at a time like this?" Lin Tian shook his head slightly, his tone mocking. "Since you've put it this way, how could I let someone leave the mountain alive?"

Overestimating oneself is a fatal mistake; underestimating Lin Tian is courting death!

A flash of sword light—

puff!

Ren Woxing's throat was pierced, blood gushing out. His body slammed heavily to the ground, convulsing a few times, his eyes wide open, unable to believe even in death that he couldn't withstand a single sword strike from him!

Immediately afterwards, a card shimmering with purple light appeared in the air.

[Purple Special Card: Identity Card]

Note: Grants the host a hidden identity. It is recommended not to use it in this world for now, but it can be stored in the card space.

"Card space?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"Unused cards can be stored here," the system replied calmly.

Why didn't you say so before?

"The host did not ask."

"Why are you saying it now?"

"Based on system evaluation, if I do not proactively inform the host, the probability of the host discovering it on its own is less than one percent."

"..." Damn, isn't this just calling me stupid?

……

"father--!!"

Ren Yingying, who had not yet escaped from the main hall, turned around and saw her father fall. She tried to rush back like a madwoman! Xiang Wentian reached out to stop her, but he couldn't hold her back even a little!

"I'm going to kill you! To pay for my father's life!" Ren Yingying's eyes were bloodshot as she drew her sword and pointed it at Lin Tian, ​​lunging forward to kill him!

In his rage, his swordsmanship became chaotic and full of flaws.

In Lin Tian's eyes, it was only slightly better than Lin Pingzhi's ridiculous Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

"Want to die?" Lin Tian sneered. "I'll grant your wish."

His sword never distinguishes between men and women, only between life and death.

But the next moment, someone stepped in front of Ren Yingying.

Linghu Chong!

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing across his brow: "Linghu Chong, are you courting death? Or do you think that with Feng Qingyang protecting you, I can't touch you?"

Anyone who dares to block his path of swordsmanship—is an enemy!

An overwhelming killing intent pressed down like a blade, directly threatening Linghu Chong's mind!

Linghu Chong's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he gave a bitter laugh: "I don't want to die, and I know I'm no match for Brother Lin. But Miss Ren saved my life, and I can't just watch her die before my eyes."

"She's using you," Lin Tian said coldly.

"I know."

Linghu Chong nodded, his voice calm yet firm: "But without her, I would have long since perished in the wilderness. So if Brother Lin wishes to kill her—please kill me first."
