Chapter 870: Mutual Destruction
"Disable me? I think you’ll be the one disabled first!"
Before the grand elder could make a move, Lin Tian had already charged forward.
The grand elder saw a series of afterimages, which was nothing extraordinary. If a Golden Core master didn’t have that kind of speed, it would truly be laughable.
But what made the grand elder’s heart race was that his external perception couldn’t detect Lin Tian at all!
It was like a guided missile unable to locate its target, or a scanning radar losing its signal.
"Why is this happening?"
The grand elder couldn’t understand it. Even the old monsters of Luoyan Dock wouldn’t encounter something like this!
There were too many miracles about Lin Tian that the grand elder couldn’t adapt to.
After all, the eye can only see so much, and the grand elder’s eyes couldn’t slow down the scene, leaving him unable to grasp Lin Tian’s direction — he only saw a series of shadows.
In an unguarded moment, Lin Tian had already leaped behind him. The same spot again, a Yin Leg! Followed by a punch to the grand elder’s back!
In a duel between masters, every move is deadly!
If the grand elder could have locked onto Lin Tian’s general position, he might have been able to fight back. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see him at all, so how could he fight?
The grand elder’s body flew far away.
Bang... Bang...
Crash, crash, crash...
The grand elder first crashed into several potted plants, finally landing beside a grape trellis, collapsing several posts in succession.
Finally, the grand elder fell in the snow in a very undignified manner.
The posture was extremely ugly! Originally, it shouldn’t have been associated with a Golden Core master, but unfortunately, the grand elder’s energy was depleted. His most vulnerable parts had been hit three times, and his back had taken a palm strike.
With a ’crash,’ the wobbly grape trellis also fell, burying the grand elder beneath it.
The series of crashes looked tragic, but Lin Tian knew the grand elder wasn’t dead because his presence still lingered!
Rustle...
A stark naked person shot out from the ruins of the grape trellis.
The most horrifying sight was his belly, pierced through by a half-meter long iron rod that was originally part of the grape trellis!
Blood was flowing all over. Besides, his body was covered in scratches — though not deep, they densely covered his entire body. If he were an ordinary person, even a slight movement would be agonizing.
"Ugh~~~"
With a deep muffled sound, the grand elder grasped the iron rod, pulled it out in one go!
Vivid red blood spurted out with a ’splash.’ The grand elder quickly pressed several acupoints on his body, held his breath, and took a deep breath into his chest.
His eyes turned red, glaring at Lin Tian with eyes like electricity.
Murderous intent overflowed!
The grand elder said not a word. Ignoring his wounds, he suddenly leaped high, reaching about ten meters, and then came crashing down like a cannonball!
Lin Tian swallowed hard in secret, feeling enveloped by murderous intent.
The grudge of this old man had reached its peak, and he was in a berserk state.
The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the fierce, the fierce fear the reckless, the reckless fear the one who doesn’t care about dying!
At this moment, the grand elder was precisely the one who didn’t care about dying!
With such severe injuries, instead of retreating to mend his wounds, he continued to take risks. Isn’t that reckless disregard for life?
If Lin Tian clashed head-on with him now, he’d be a fool!
Lin Tian quickly sidestepped several meters, standing by a big tree, dodging the fatal blow.
"Die!"
Though the old man was injured, his speed was unchanged, even surging.
Lin Tian’s first choice was to run away. He had no confidence facing this old man now.
Though the grand elder couldn’t lock onto Lin Tian, his speed wasn’t slower; it was even faster.
With their roughly equal speed, it felt ’stationary’ in comparison, so the grand elder could see Lin Tian and lock onto him with his eyes, without needing perception!
Now the roles of prey and hunter were very clear.
Lin Tian thought, as long as he maintained a certain distance from the old man and ran a bit longer, once the blood loss reached a certain point, he could tire him out!
Very soon, Lin Tian realized this thought was naive.
This old man, using some unknown footwork, could actually shrink the earth into inches! Covering a distance of a mere ten meters quickly!
"Damn it! Damn old man, I’ll fight you!"
Lin Tian suddenly turned, rushing toward the grand elder.
The grand elder extended a palm lightly.
From Lin Tian’s perspective, the palm looked like a piece of silk.
This strange palm technique was not something Lin Tian recollected!
So he didn’t know how to respond.
All he could do was counter softness with hardness!
Attack the grand elder’s most vulnerable spot — not the root of life but the wound on his belly!
Lin Tian sped up, kicking hard into the snow, kicking up countless small snowballs and a haze-like snow mist.
His hands rapidly molded those small snowballs into a snowball the size of a ping-pong ball, infusing it with Spiritual Qi, and hurled it out fiercely.
Meanwhile, the grand elder’s light palm neared him!
Bang!
Lin Tian was pushed away by a palm.
The palm seemed soft, but upon contact, he realized it harbored immense force, layer upon layer, with one hidden energy surging after another!
His body staggered backward, rolling several times on the ground.
Bump, bump, bump...
Not knowing how many times he rolled, Lin Tian finally stopped.
Ugh...
He opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood stagnated inside, quickly congealing into a blood clot in the cold weather.
Subsequently, Lin Tian’s head began to spin, a suffocating feeling surged to his brain.
"No, the amplification time is over!"
Lin Tian screamed alarmingly in his mind; this time was too short, less than a minute, over already!
It was likely due to the grand elder’s palm, too tyrannical!
Lin Tian felt his organs had shifted, no longer belonging to him.
"I can’t fall!" Lin Tian propped himself up on his hands, eyes wide staring at the grand elder. "I can’t fall before him!"
If he did, his life would be in someone else’s hands!
The grand elder’s state was also poor at this time.
Unable to detect the snowball, it ruthlessly and unreasonably shot into his belly wound!
Bang...
The sound of the snowball exploding inside his belly!
The snow was icy, but it exploded with heat.
It was like a knife stirring chaos inside the grand elder!
Even for a Golden Core master, such an internal injury was unbearable, with the blood loss from the wound doubling instantly!
"Gah~"
He too spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with endless hatred, glaring at Lin Tian.
Finally, the grand elder’s senses were replaced by dizziness. He felt exhausted, yearning for deep sleep!
Thud!
The grand elder’s body fell in the snow, blood from his abdomen freezing upon contact with the snow.
"Heh, old man, you still lost!"
Lin Tian couldn’t resist the fatigue, slumped, and fell in the snow as well.
