Chapter 161: Lin Dingtian, you have crossed the line!

On the arena, flames transformed into a long dragon.

It surged forth from Lin Yan's hands.

No one doubted that if given another ten years, Lin Yan would certainly become a hegemon of the Daqian Dynasty.

Lin Yan had used the Great Dao of Fire to such a level of perfection that calling him a Fire God would not be an exaggeration.

Facing the spear strike filled with crisis, Lin Xiao had already adjusted his posture.

With a flick of his wrist, he spun his blade into a flower.

That famous blade, Luan Gu, slashed toward the long spear, directly severing the dragon's head of flame, and the spear itself was cut in half at the waist.

"What?!"

Lin Ya cast a look of astonishment, and Lin Xuan even stood up, deep wariness surging in her beautiful eyes.

That Lin Xiao was too formidable; he could even sever a long spear like that?

"Hahaha! Overestimating your own abilities. Did you really think that by luckily repairing your dantian, you could be mentioned in the same breath as the Heaven's Pride of my Lin Clan?" Lin Dingtian laughed wildly from afar.

The Lin Clan is the Lin Clan, and the Lin Family is the Lin Family!

If the Lin Family were strong, they wouldn't have been driven away back then, and the one standing on the dragon boat now wouldn't be Lin Dingtian.

"Kill him, I want him dead!" Lin Dingtian shouted sternly.

He had made a mistake back then, leaving a glimmer of hope for Lin Yan; now it was time to snuff out that spark of hope.

Lin Xiao on the arena smiled coldly: "Is that all you've got?"

Lin Yan's pupils constricted, and he retreated several steps in succession.

He hadn't expected his move to be countered so easily.

This was a method he had racked his brains for days to come up with, just to get close to Lin Xiao and kill him.

First, endure a blade strike, forcibly close the distance, and then strike when least expected.

Following these three steps, Lin Xiao should have been dead for sure!

"How could this be..."

Lin Yan's mouth twitched, and a faint, ominous premonition stirred in his heart.

"Hahaha! Truly foolish!"

"You can't win against me with such low-class tricks!"

Lin Xiao looked disdainful, casually gripping the famous blade Luan Gu, and said word by word: "In the face of absolute strength, any scheme is merely futile!"

Having said that, Lin Xiao released his overbearing cultivation.

"Martial Pill Realm, Sixth Layer!"

"This kid really was hiding his cultivation. He advanced through the Heavenly Pride Ranking, and no one had been able to force him to the point of revealing his cultivation."

"With this cultivation, he can definitely secure a spot in the top ten!"

The leaders of various parties exclaimed one after another. The Lin Clan was indeed worthy of being one of the Eight Great Families; the disciples they cultivated were too dazzling.

Even if the Lin Family's Three Heroes were incredibly dazzling, in the face of absolute strength, they still appeared insufficient.

"Do you understand now? Your strength and mine are simply not on the same level!"

"Killing you is like slaughtering a chicken or a dog; this young master was just playing with you earlier!"

Lin Xiao laughed hideously, and the blade in his hand began to condense blade Qi.

He had played enough.

The next strike would surely kill Lin Yan!

Lin Yan showed a look of vigilance, flames appearing in both his left and right hands.

But Lin Xiao's strength was too great; standing before him, Lin Yan felt like a candle flame flickering in the wind, swaying unsteadily, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Oh no!" Lin Feng's pupils shrank.

He was already prepared to intervene and save Lin Yan, even if this act would draw the attention of the Imperial Family and potentially lead to being branded with the crime of disrupting the normal operation of the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting.

"Lin Clan Leader, don't be impulsive!" Master Gu Dan hurriedly advised.

He understood Lin Feng quite well now; if Lin Yan ran into trouble, Lin Feng would definitely intervene.

At that point, he would be the target of everyone's condemnation!

"Lin Clan Leader, you must stay calm!" Xiao Xuanming also urged anxiously.

Leiling Province relied entirely on the Lin Family; if something went wrong, all the large and small forces in their Leiling Province might be implicated.

Huang Ling'er also cast a slightly helpless look.

Lin Feng now represented not just the Lin Family, but the entire Leiling Province.

At this very moment, on the arena.

Lin Xiao let out a sharp laugh, and the famous blade Luan Gu in his hand struck instantly from an extremely tricky angle.

The speed was so fast that it was staggering, leaving no time to react.

Facing this blade, Lin Yan was instantly covered in cold sweat.

Not far away, Lin Xuan, who occupied her own arena, was already prepared to act; she was going to save Lin Yan.

"Die! You trash!" Lin Xiao laughed loudly.

However, in this flash of lightning, Lin Yan suddenly pressed his palms together.

The Burning Heaven Immortal Wrath and the Saint Fire were, at this moment, completely fused, and the two intense flames condensed into the shape of a lotus flower within his palms.

A dangerous aura instantly spread out.

Even the Crown Prince on the Golden Dragon Boat stood up in surprise, walking straight to the bow, his gaze locked onto Lin Yan.

The Eight Great Families all cast their gazes over.

Countless faction leaders all had their mouths agape.

The terrifying temperature formed by the fusion of two Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires made everyone feel a heat on their faces.

At the same time, the System's voice echoed in Lin Feng's mind.

【Ding! Clan member Lin Yan has comprehended the Nine-Star Art, Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus】

【Synchronizing for the Host...】

Lin Feng stood frozen on the spot, his mouth curling wildly.

Are you kidding me?

Lin Yan was actually able to actively comprehend such a terrifying art and divine ability?

Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus?

Why does this name sound a bit familiar...

The scorching temperature spread, causing ripples in the space, and the sword strike Lin Xiao had unleashed with all his might hung suspended before the fire lotus in Lin Yan's palm, unable to advance even an inch further.

Lin Yan trembled all over, his entire Spiritual Power exhausted and poured into this fire lotus.

At this moment, he withdrew his left palm.

Then, he thrust his right palm forward, and the fire lotus slowly flew toward Lin Xiao.

As the fire lotus advanced, the Spirit Qi in the air was ignited wherever it passed, leaving behind charred cracks.

The air was filled with suffocating heat waves, causing Lin Xiao's expression to change drastically.

This crisis was unprecedented!

The destructive power contained within that fire lotus made him tremble with fear.

"No! This is impossible!"

Lin Xiao roared, attempting to withdraw his blade, only to find that his strength in the face of this terrifying temperature was like a mayfly shaking a tree, insignificant.

The fire lotus collided with the blade, instantly erupting with dazzling light.

The entire arena seemed to be enveloped by a scorching sun, and everyone squinted their eyes.

With a loud "Boom," Lin Xiao's figure dissipated in the firelight.

The famous blade Luan Gu was burned to a deep red.

On the ground lay a pile of ashes; that was Lin Xiao.

"You were right; in the face of absolute strength, everything is futile," Lin Yan said weakly.

The fire lotus dissipated, and the temperature returned to normal.

When the light faded, Lin Xiao's figure was nowhere to be seen on the arena.

"Lin Xiao!"

Lin Dingtian let out a roar, rushing toward the arena like a madman.

He raised his palm, intending to strike Lin Yan directly!

"Audacious!"

The Crown Prince's eyes darkened, and a terrifying aura swept out, directly suppressing Lin Dingtian from the air and pressing him heavily into the soil.

Everyone was trembling, kneeling down in fear.

"Are you defying the rules set by this Crown Prince?"

"In the Heaven's Pride Grand Meeting, no one is allowed to interfere!"

"Lin Dingtian, you have crossed the line!"

The Crown Prince's voice was like thunder, leaving everyone on the field not even daring to breathe loudly. ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
