“Siwen!” Pei Wuwen disregarded everything and rushed toward the platform. He released all of his strength, causing the tiles on his path to fly up.
“I’ll kill you!” Pei Wuwen’s hands transformed into sharp claws as he tried to grab Yun Lintian.
“Brother Huoyun!” On the stand, Yu Jiao’er stood up and yelled in fright.
The expressions of Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi changed drastically. They quickly released their power and rushed to the platform. However, they were clearly one second late, as Pei Wuwen had already arrived before Yun Lintian.
Pei Wuwen had lost his mind. His eyes were full of madness and boundless killing intent. However, the moment his claws were about to reach Yun Lintian, he suddenly saw the latter grin coldly, without a single trace of fear. He immediately felt something was amiss, but it was too late to retract or change his attack now.
Yun Lintian had expected this for a long time. More precisely, everything was according to his plan. Before this, he was afraid Pei Wuwen would hide like a turtle upon seeing Pei Fengwen’s miserable appearance. Who would have thought this man, who was the high and mighty patriarch of the Great Roc Clan, was easy to get provoked?
Yun Lintian clenched his right fist tightly, and his aura burst out. His pupils were shining with crimson light as he stepped forward and punched out directly to the incoming claws.
Roar—
A deafening dragon’s cry that could shake everyone’s soul reverberated throughout the arena as a virtual fire dragon shot out of Yun Lintian’s fist.
Pei Wuwen wasn’t the only one who was shocked to the core. All the upper echelons in this place stared at Yun Lintian with eyes wide open.
The distance was too close; it was impossible for Pei Wuwen to avoid it. All he could do was pour every ounce of his strength into his claws and hope.
BOOM!
Yun Lintian’s fist collided fiercely with Pei Wuwen’s claws, and the virtual fire dragon opened its mouth wide, biting Pei Wuwen’s body and flying into the sky.
“Arghhh!” A crimson flame burned vigorously, engulfing Pei Wuwen and transforming him into a firework.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian was pushed away several meters. His feet dragged along the floor, creating a long deep trail until he managed to stabilize himself.
“Monarch Profound Beast’s body is really something else.” Yun Lintian muttered while shaking his hand, getting rid of the numbness. He glanced upward and saw Pei Wuwen screaming painfully. “What a beautiful firework.”
The arena became deathly silent, making Pei Wuwen’s miserable shriek especially sad and shrill. Except for Huoyun Yurou and Huoyun Zhu, everyone couldn’t believe what they saw. What in the world happened? The first-level Ruler Profound Realm youth was actually sending the peak Monarch Profound Realm expert flying?
Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi halted their tracks midway and looked at Yun Lintian dumbfoundedly. They prepared to rescue Yun Lintian, but it seemed he didn’t need it at all.
At this moment, Pei Xiewen returned to his sense. He quickly shot toward the sky and sent green profound light at the fire dragon. With a bang, the virtual fire dragon was blasting away. Pei Xiewen hurriedly grabbed his father, who turned charcoal and brought him back to his clan’s area.
“Patriarch!” Several clan elders stepped forward and helped stabilize Pei Wuwen’s injury. Looking at their patriarch’s miserable appearance, they were boiling with anger and glared at Yun Lintian as if they wanted to eat him alive.
“Not bad. He’s fierce enough.” On the Heavenly Fox Clan’s stand, Bi Xian nodded in satisfaction. Similar to others, she was shocked by Yun Lintian’s performance. However, she gradually calmed down when she thought of her daughter’s words.
She turned to Bi You and asked. “This is what you see?”
Surprisingly, Bi You shook her head. “I’m afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg. He is far stronger than what he displayed.”
Bi Xian was stunned and asked in disbelief. “This is… not his true strength?”
Bi You’s eyes flickered with a splendor light while staring at Yun Lintian.
Pei Xiewen slowly turned around to face Yun Lintian. His face was incomparably cold, and his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. “This should be the second time we met. I admit that I’ve underestimated you last time.”
Yun Lintian wasn’t surprised by Pei Xiewen’s words. It was within his expectation that Pei Xiewen could connect him with the middle-aged man back then. After all, both had the same identical movement technique.
“Looks like Young Master Pei figured it out now. That’s right. This is our second encounter.” Yun Lintian didn’t bother to deny it.
Hearing this, Tianqi Junlai and others frowned slightly. They had monitored the Fire Cloud Rat Clan’s Ancestral Land for ages, and they didn’t even know Yun Lintian was wandering outside for all this time. It was no wonder they couldn’t find his information even now.
Pei Xiewen was about to say something, but Yun Lintian spoke first. “Shhh! If I were you, I wouldn’t say anything at the moment. Look around you. Both your father and grandfather have become like that. Do you think you can do anything to me in this situation? Please, Young Master Pei. Do not court death.” 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨
“You!” Pei Xiewen pointed at Yun Lintian tremblingly.
Yun Lintian’s words were like cold water pouring over his head. Because of his rage, he had totally forgotten about the situation he was in currently. Without a pillar like Pei Fengwen, his Great Roc Clan was even weaker than the absent Crimson Ox Clan. What could he do now?
Yun Lintian chuckled slightly and walked to Pei Siwen, who was staring at the sky in a daze. He nudged Pei Siwen with his foot and said. “Oi, are you sleeping?”
Pei Siwen shivered, and his consciousness gradually returned. His eyes moved sideways, staring at Yun Lintian with hatred. The bright future ahead of him was utterly ruined by this man. From today onward, he would be nothing but a cripple that waited to die.
“What’s with that look? Did you think I have gone overboard or something? Heh. This is called retribution, you know?” Yun Lintian laughed coldly.
He lifted Pei Siwen with his profound energy and grabbed the latter’s neck. “Look over there. Have you seen it? They are your father and grandfather. They are not much better than you are now. Satisfy?”
“Huoyun… Tian!” Pei Xiewen seemed like a volcano had erupted in his chest. How could he bear such humiliation!?
