Chapter 989: Cutting Through Iron Like Mud
Sworn to kill Lin Tian. These words sound impulsive no matter how you hear them.
Actually, it’s not impulsive at all. Who in the Wang family doesn’t want to kill Lin Tian, this scourge? Even the family dogs probably want to rush up and bite him.
"I say, has everyone in your Wang family gone stupid from training? Dark energy naturally dissipates over time, it’s been a month already, you’ve tried many methods, and now most of it should be gone. In another month, there won’t be any problem, right?"
"Another month?" Wang Sijing roared at Lin Tian: "You want me to remain a cripple for another month?"
"Or shall I add a bit more dark energy?" Lin Tian teased with a smile.
"I want you to remove the dark energy now!" Mr. Wang said in a commanding tone, his age-indiscernible face taut.
Lin Tian contemplated for a while, then shook his head gently, and softly said: "Get lost."
Bang!
This word was like pouring oil on fire, stirring waves a thousandfold.
Finally, someone in the Wang family couldn’t hold back, Wang Manzi charged forward. True to his nickname, as domineering as ever, his pace was slow but his presence was formidable, like a charging elephant king.
"Retreat!" The Sixth Elder shouted loudly with inner strength. Wang Manzi’s stride is no joke; anyone below his level who doesn’t dodge will be severely injured.
Facing Wang Manzi, the Sixth Elder stepped up personally, having now also achieved the Golden Core, he had the strength to contend against Wang Manzi.
"Courting death!" Wang Manzi’s unkempt face suddenly showed a smile, his foot’s power exploded, and his speed suddenly surged.
In Wang Manzi’s perception, the Sixth Elder’s talent was mediocre, possibly never accomplishing the Golden Core in his lifetime. Wasn’t he just asking for trouble by stepping up?
Finally, the Sixth Elder’s hands transformed, and he struck towards Wang Manzi’s shoulder. This palm, named ’Cloud-Exploring Thunder Hand,’ was equally fierce and masculine, capable of smashing rocks and opening gold.
The palm struck down, a muffled thunder echoed throughout the True Martial Hall, the clothes on Wang Manzi’s shoulder directly shredded into rags, simultaneously leaving a dark handprint on his skin, the pain penetrated to the bone.
"Hmm hum~"
Wang Manzi let out a muffled groan, the pain in his left shoulder made his whole arm numb.
Meanwhile, the Sixth Elder retreated continuously. The previous effect was realized by exploiting Wang Manzi’s carelessness, in the next encounter he might suffer, after all, he faced an expert of the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
"You’ve achieved Golden Core?" Wang Manzi asked in a nasal tone, "Is this another of Lin Tian’s doing?"
The Sixth Elder seemed not to hear, secretly adjusting his status instead.
Seeing the Sixth Elder remain silent, Wang Manzi knew his guess was correct, he glanced sideways at Lin Tian, secretly thinking: "This kid must not be spared!"
In the next second, Wang Manzi swung his injured arm, once it regained sensation, he rushed forward again like a bull, bypassing the Sixth Elder, targeting Lin Tian.
"Not good!"
The Sixth Elder’s hands transformed, cloud surged and thunder rolled, striking out again. However, Wang Manzi’s speed was too fast, he could only strike at his back.
Boom~
Thunder clapped, Wang Manzi’s back clothes shredded into shreds, revealing his scarlet skin.
"Barbaric Bone Nine Transformations!" The Sixth Elder’s pupils shrank suddenly, his heart raced wildly but too late to withdraw his hand, his right palm helplessly slapped on Wang Manzi’s red skin.
The feat of Wang Family martial arts is explosive power, and this Barbaric Bone Nine Transformations is the epitome of explosive skills, divided into nine levels of nine colors, yellow being the weakest, red the strongest.
This martial art is extremely difficult to practice, firstly requires high aptitude, secondly requires various self-harming body training, then consuming quirky things, you might succeed.
Wang Manzi’s nickname came from this.
When he reached the scarlet stage, Wang Manzi became like steel, the Sixth Elder’s palm would only face a strong rebound.
Bam~
The Sixth Elder’s body flew out, his five viscera seemed displaced with pain, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood sprayed out, finally caught by two Alliance disciples as he was about to hit the ground.
The Grand Elder lowered his gaze, channeling his energy, ready to step up.
Just then a shadow swept past him and faced Wang Manzi first.
"On a fool’s errand!" Wang Manzi was amused, worrying the Martial Sect might interfere, didn’t expect the boy to come forward.
Suddenly, Wang Manzi noticed something hidden in Lin Tian’s sleeve, definitely a hidden weapon.
Instantly, Wang Manzi was even more amused. The Barbaric Bone Nine Transformations could still be afraid of your hidden weapon?
A punch blasted out, inner strength howled, Wang Manzi grasped, sure this punch would shatter Lin Tian’s hand!
Shing~
Finally, the short sword hidden in Lin Tian’s sleeve was revealed, a short pitch-black sword, inconspicuous like charcoal.
Boom~
The fist finally met the short blade, unexpectedly, the short sword pierced through Wang Manzi’s fist!
The blade twisted, slicing off Wang Manzi’s ring and little fingers, both fell off.
Two fingers severed, bright red blood gushed out, like a miniature fountain.
Ah~
A piercing shriek echoed through the True Martial Hall, beads of cold sweat on his forehead like soybeans. Not daring to engage Lin Tian again, desperately gripping his severed fingers then retreating explosively.
Lin Tian softly snorted, wielding the Black Dragon Dagger in relentless pursuit, like striking when sick to take a life.
Fear filled Wang Manzi’s eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Upon reaching the forefront of the Wang family formation, Lin Tian refrained from further pursuing. Wang Manzi lowered his head, incredulously staring at his severed fingers.
"Manzi, what just happened? How was your Barbaric Bone breached?" A Golden Core expert from the Wang family inquired.
"He, the short sword in his hand, made with the same material as the Hidden Dragon Sword!" Wang Manzi murmured, evidently still shaken. If slower earlier, perhaps the entire arm would’ve been severed!
"Damn it! How is that possible?" Someone couldn’t resist swearing.
The Grand Elder’s Hidden Dragon Sword famed throughout the ancient martial circles, renowned for sharpness, Wang Manzi avoided its edge all those years, for the Hidden Dragon Sword against his Barbaric Bone Nine Transformations truly lived up to the phrase ’slice iron like clay.’
Yet none expected, besides the Hidden Dragon Sword, Lin Tian also possessed a Black Dragon Dagger. Unexpectedly sliced off two fingers, considered Wang Manzi fortunate, luckily the Ancient Martial Wang Family stockpile medicine, severed fingers could be reattached.
But the indignation, the Wang Family couldn’t endure!
