Chapter 583: Under Crisis!

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Qian Renhao beside him could no longer restrain himself.

Qian Renhao saw that Lin Yuan kept delaying and refusing to compromise directly, but instead frequently raised conditions to stall.

Qian Renhao instantly flared with rage, stepping forward and pointing at Lin Yuan's nose as he mocked:

"Lin Yuan, you've come to this point and still pretend? You too have today? Be sensible and quickly hand over the hidden weapon manual! Otherwise not only will Su Monong be humiliated to death by us, you bastard will also die without a burial place, understand?!"

"Noisy." Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned icy.

Lin Yuan coldly stared at Qian Renhao, his tone thick with killing intent: "Your Qian Shi Group owes me a debt; I will settle it sooner or later, item by item. Now, get lost."

Qian Renhao snapped, "You motherfucker, you're looking for death!"

Qian Renhao lifted his leg and kicked!

As a result, Lin Yuan was faster than him!

Lin Yuan slammed a fierce front kick in a flash!

"Bang!" Qian Renhao's whole body was kicked flying on the spot!

"Boom—!" Qian Renhao was kicked dozens of meters away, his body slamming hard to the ground!

"Pfft!" Qian Renhao spat a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest as he trembled to his feet from the ground!

"You bastard!" Still dare to fight me?! Qian Renhao raged, suddenly drawing a knife and charging at Lin Yuan again!

The conflict between them was on the verge of erupting, and the atmosphere on site instantly grew heavier.

The surrounding Thunder Tiger Sect experts also tensed up, instinctively gripping their weapons tighter.

Lei Chen Zhou's brows furrowed tighter; he worried that Qian Renhao would cause trouble here and ruin his plan to obtain the hidden weapon technique, and immediately sternly rebuked: "Qian Renhao, step back!"

Qian Renhao was cowed by Lei Chen Zhou's tone; though unwilling in his heart, he dared not defy.

Qian Renhao could only glare resentfully at Lin Yuan, reluctantly sheathing his knife and stepping aside.

Only then did Lei Chen Zhou turn his gaze back to Lin Yuan.

Lei Chen Zhou said in a cold, condensed tone: "Don't waste time; I've agreed to your request—let Zhao Dharma Protector be the target, and demonstrate your needle technique quickly."

Having said that, Lei Chen Zhou seemed to think of something, his eyes sinking.

Lei Chen Zhou added: "However, to prevent you from trickily resisting, before demonstrating your secret skill you must first seal your body's major acupoints, so that your qi and blood cannot circulate."

Before his words even faded, he gestured to his subordinates nearby: "Bring the prepared titanium alloy handcuffs, foot cuffs, and iron chains."

Two Thunder Tiger Sect experts immediately stepped forward, holding a set of heavy titanium alloy shackles, with the handcuffs and foot cuffs connected to thick iron chains.

The clashing metal issued a muffled "clang-clang," exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Put it on." Lei Chen Zhou gave a cold order.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Lin Yuan silently cursed—Lei Chen Zhou's mind was overly meticulous.

But Lin Yuan maintained an appearance of compromise on the surface.

He knew that now was not the time to resist.

Lin Yuan could only nod slowly.

Lin Yuan raised his hand, precisely striking the key acupoints on his chest, abdomen, lower back, and so on.

He temporarily sealed all his qi and blood deep in his dantian.

Yet Lei Chen Zhou still felt it wasn't enough.

"Stab both ribs to seal your rib acupoints." Lei Chen Zhou said coldly.

Lin Yuan's pupils narrowed.

Lin Yuan said coldly, "If my ribs are sealed, I cannot use internal strength to demonstrate the Silver Needle."

Hearing this, Lei Chen Zhou pondered for a moment.

He thought, indeed, demonstrating the Silver Needle requires internal strength.

Thus Lei Chen Zhou said, "Then, give him a few more pairs of handcuffs."

Seeing this, the Thunder Tiger Sect experts stepped forward swiftly, fastening the heavy titanium alloy handcuffs onto Lin Yuan's wrists.

On Lin Yuan's hands, two pairs of handcuffs were locked.

They also locked the foot cuffs onto his ankles.

Finally, they connected the handcuffs and foot cuffs with iron chains.

Leaving less than half a meter of movement space.

The moment the shackles were donned, Lin Yuan felt his whole body sink.

Every move he made was accompanied by the dragging sound of the chains, his movement severely restricted.

"And your Silver Needle." Lei Chen Zhou's gaze fell on Lin Yuan's waist, where his usual Silver Needle box was originally inserted—"Ordinary Silver Needles are too sharp; if you take the opportunity to cause trouble, it wouldn't be good."

He waved his hand, and a subordinate immediately handed over a box of bamboo needle tools: "Use this for the demonstration; the bamboo needles are brittle, so even if you make any small moves, they won't hurt anyone."

Lin Yuan looked at that box of rough bamboo needles, understanding clearly.

Lei Chen Zhou had considered every possible risk, just to make him completely lose the ability to resist.

Lin Yuan did not refuse, letting them take away his Silver Needle box and replace it with that box of bamboo needles.

After doing all this, Lei Chen Zhou finally nodded in satisfaction, gesturing to Zhao Dharma Protector beside him: "Zhao Dharma Protector, you may come forward."

"Yes, Crown Prince!" The expert called Zhao Dharma Protector responded and stepped forward.

Zhao Dharma Protector's eyes warily fixed on Lin Yuan, his aura instantly rising.

He had prepared himself to respond to any sudden situation at any time.

Lin Yuan, seeing this, no longer hesitated, pinching a rough bamboo needle between his fingertips.

His wrist twitched slightly!

Lin Yuan appeared to casually… thrust toward an acupoint on Zhao Dharma Protector's chest.

The bamboo needle was brittle, and when it pierced the flesh it even emitted a faint 'crack' sound, as if it would break at any moment.

But just as the bamboo needle was fully inserted into the acupoint……%

Zhao Dharma Protector's body jerked stiff, and his originally tense limbs instantly lost control.

Zhao Dharma Protector was as if nailed to the spot, unable to move.

Zhao Dharma Protector's eyes were filled with shock, his throat emitting a hoarse 'heh-heh', yet he couldn't move a single finger.

"What... what is going on?" Lei Chen Zhou saw this, his pupils suddenly constricting!

Lei Chen Zhou instinctively stepped forward a step, his voice full of shock.

Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, the corner of his mouth twitching into an imperceptible arc.

Lin Yuan explained: "This is formation-sealing acupoint; it looks like a simple point strike, but actually contains exquisite formation principles."

"The point I pierced with this needle is his 'Soul-Settling Acupoint'; through the bamboo needle transmitting weak internal force, I blocked the flow of his meridians throughout his body, causing his qi and blood to stagnate, thus he cannot move. As long as I don't pull the needle, he can only maintain this posture, at anyone's mercy."

Lei Chen Zhou listened, his eyes lighting up, he stared fixedly at Zhao Dharma Protector's stiffened figure.

Lei Chen Zhou also looked at the bamboo needle on Lin Yuan's fingertip, his face full of incredulous ecstasy and shock,.

Lei Chen Zhou laughed wildly, "Great! Excellent Silver Needle sealing point! This method combining formation and hidden weapons actually has such divine effect? Having seen it today, the reputation is not undeserved!"

Lei Chen Zhou at this moment…… had already immersed himself in the subtlety of needle technique.

He completely failed to notice…… a cold light flashing in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Since the Crown Prince is satisfied, then next we should discuss Su Monong's affairs." Lin Yuan's tone was flat……

But before the words finished, Lin Yuan's figure suddenly moved!

Only see Lin Yuan fiercely open his mouth, the tip of his tongue slightly lifting!

Under his tongue, there were actually dozens of silver needles as fine as cowhair sliding down from the base of the tongue, hidden in the sublingual groove!

This, is a backup Lin Yuan had prepared long ago!

Hiding needles under the tongue is extremely concealed, so he beforehand hid the silver needles under his tongue!

Earlier, when the Thunder Tiger Sect adepts searched his person, they actually failed to notice!

"Not good! There's deceit!" Lei Chen Zhou's heart alarm blared, he had just wanted to order an attack, but it was already too late.

Lin Yuan exerted force with his tongue tip!

A silver needle shot out from his mouth like an arrow leaving the bow!

The silver needle's speed was as fast as lightning, accompanied by a sharp tearing-through-air sound!

The silver needle accurately shot toward Su Monong's vicinity…… a martial arts bandit responsible for guarding.

That bandit didn't even have time to react before the silver needle struck his neck's major artery!

The bandit's body went limp, instantly collapsing to the ground, silent.

Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Lin Yuan moved again!

Another silver needle shot from his mouth, its target directly pointing at another lackey escorting Su Monong.

This silver needle, with a tricky angle, precisely struck the lackey's wrist acupoint!

That lackey only felt his wrist go numb, the long sword in his hand clanged to the ground, his whole arm losing strength.

"How is this possible! Spitting silver needles from the mouth actually has such astonishing killing power?" Qian Renhao hid to the side, trembling all over, his voice full of disbelief.

The surrounding Thunder Tiger Sect adepts were also stunned dumbfounded by this sudden change!

Everyone instinctively retreated a few steps.

Lin Yuan, however, did not stop at all; he deeply knew time was pressing, and he had to break through the encirclement before the Thunder Tiger Sect adepts could react!

Only see Lin Yuan open his mouth again, his tongue tip lifting the third silver needle; this time, the silver needle was not shot at others, but directed toward an acupoint on his own chest!

The silver needle precisely pierced the acupoint, Lin Yuan's body jerked violently! His aura instantly surged!

Lin Yuan let out a low shout from his mouth!

His eyes…… instantly turned crimson, a terrifying aura surged wildly from within his body!

This, is precisely the Ghost Doctor Sect forbidden technique 'Yanluo Pagoda' forcibly activated by Lin Yuan!

With the activation of the forbidden technique……

Lin Yuan's speed, strength, and five senses instantly increased by a level!

Lin Yuan felt, everything around became extraordinarily clear:

The Thunder Tiger Sect adepts' hurried heartbeat, Su Monong's tense breathing, even the faint sound of rocks falling from the mine cave ceiling, were all clearly captured by him.

But the cost of this forbidden technique is also extremely heavy!

Lin Yuan's seven orifices instantly seeped out bright red blood……

The fresh blood, sliding down his cheeks, dripped onto the clothing on his chest, appearing especially gruesome and terrifying.

"Pfft……!"

Lin Yuan violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Yet Lin Yuan's gaze became ever sharper, like an Asura from hell.

His limbs bound by titanium alloy shackles, in the face of the surging strength, actually began to tremble slightly.

The thick iron chains emitted a 'creak-creak' groan, as if they might be broken at any moment.

And this scene, falling into Qian Renhao's eyes, left him stunned?

Qian Renhao mistakenly thought Lin Yuan had suffered internal injuries.

Qian Renhao saw Lin Yuan's seven orifices bleeding, his figure swaying as if about to collapse.

He also thought, thought Lin Yuan was already a spent arrow.

Qian Renhao immediately let out a hideous, twisted laugh: "Hahaha! Lin Yuan! I never expected you to have this day! Seven orifices bleeding, this is retribution! Die!"

Before the words finished, Qian Renhao suddenly turned around, snatched the long sword from the waist of a nearby Thunder Tiger Sect adept!

Qian Renhao gripped the sword hilt with both hands, his steps staggering yet filled with mad killing intent!

Qian Renhao charged straight at Lin Yuan!

He wanted to stab Lin Yuan to death with his own hands, to avenge the deep grudge of the blood sea from his repeated setbacks!

"Idiot! Come back! Danger!!" Lei Chen Zhou saw this, his pupils suddenly constricted, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart, and he immediately shouted angrily!

Lei Chen Zhou tried to stop Qian Renhao.

Although Lei Chen Zhou did not know the details of Lin Yuan's forbidden technique.

But a secret art that can cause one's physique to swell dramatically, even at the cost of bleeding from the seven orifices, could hardly be a dying struggle; there must be a lethal danger hidden behind it.

But Qian Renhao, his mind clouded by hatred, simply could not listen.

Qian Renhao turned his head, grinned at Lei Chen Zhou with a ferocious, mad smile: "Lei Young Master, what danger? Look, he's already bleeding from the seven orifices, he can barely stand! This is a good chance for me to take revenge; I must make him pay the price!"

Saying this, Qian Renhao did not slow down at all; instead, he quickened his steps!

Qian Renhao raised his Long Sword high and viciously stabbed toward Lin Yuan's chest~!

The blade sliced through the air, emitting a piercing, sharp sound!
