Chapter 76

Lin Zheng, Lin Qian, Lin Wen, and Lin Dao stood in a row. Lin Qin, standing to the side, took a few steps forward, about to rush over, but was firmly held back by Li Ruoshui. If this lady were to go, things would get really interesting!

In the next moment, the old man's sleeves swelled as if filled with wind, and a powerful gust of air rushed towards Lin Zheng and the others. Lin Zheng and his companions quickly scattered, but the gust of air split into four, each following them with undiminished force. Bang, bang, bang, bang! A series of sounds echoed as Lin Zheng and the others landed unscathed, but their expressions turned serious. They exchanged glances and then simultaneously rose to launch a fierce attack on the old man!

Attack as a form of defense, that was the result of their quick eye contact!

With a whoosh, a long knife sliced through the sky. Everyone felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck before their eyes. Where the long knife passed, the void seemed to crack, revealing black fissures that emitted terrifying power. After the silver light, a black light followed silently, like a giant spider web, tightly enveloping the old man!

Lin Qian's figure flickered in and out of sight in the field. He occasionally pressed his hands on the ground, then quickly jumped to the center. The ground shook, and the areas where Lin Qian had walked lifted, forming a giant hand that slowly clenched. Using the power of the earth, the Great Puppet Technique!

Lin Wen took out a pen and instantly wrote dozens of runes on the fingers of the giant hand that Lin Qian had raised. When he finished, the runes glowed with a golden light, and the five giant fingers looked like stone pillars carved with totems. The originally sluggish hand became agile, and a whistling sound filled the air as it gripped like a powerful hand in water, ignoring all resistance, and exploded with a series of sounds!

Lin Zheng once again elevated his body, like an ancient giant, but this time his clothes did not tear, as they were specially made by Lin Zheng. He stood like a tyrant before the three others, watching the old man in the field, ready to deliver the decisive blow!

Everything happened so swiftly that the old man's eyes widened in surprise, and a smile of delight appeared on his face, which turned a rosy red, as if he were drunk with excitement! With a whoosh, two beams of light from the giant fingers shot towards the old man, and the next moment, the giant hand closed!

The people in the field exchanged glances, and the faces of those who had previously challenged Lin Zheng changed repeatedly. Where did these monsters come from?

Creak, creak, the giant hand continued to clench and unclench. Was this old man just for show? The people outside watched the hand, and the old man showed no sign of resistance. Many began to doubt.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Zheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back. The next moment, the tightly clenched hand exploded! The five broken fingers flew like meteors towards the crowd. Lin Zheng's body trembled, and his arms extended, catching the five stone-like fingers and planting them in front of him with a series of thuds!

The ground shook several times, and the five stone fingers stood neatly in front of Lin Zheng, deeply embedded in the ground! The old man's slightly aged body swayed, holding the black light that had formed from the torn space, like a black blade!

The old man stepped down from the broken hand, and the broken hand tried to move again. The old man slashed the black blade across the broken hand, and with a puff, the black blade shattered into black dots. A surge of powerful spiritual energy tore the half-hand into pieces, which were then swallowed and disappeared. Even the soil and rocks nearby were sucked in.

The people outside felt a chill run from their feet to their necks. To tear through space and condense a strike, how old was this guy? To draw the earth as a body and bestow it with spiritual power, where did these freaks come from? And that suddenly enlarged giant, where did they come from? And that old monster, who was he to casually defuse all the attacks? Was he one of the instructors for this special training?

People whispered among themselves. If they could join this old monster's sect, it would be a great fortune. Perhaps he was one of the instructors for this special training? Some people began to speculate, and their guesses were mostly correct. Of course, some were secretly laughing, thinking that Lin Zheng and the others would be in for a rough time if they provoked such an old monster.

The thoughts of the people outside varied widely. The few elders behind the city lord nodded, their eyes filled with surprise, but also a hint of helplessness. However, they were all confident that it would not be easy to withstand ten moves from the old man.

One attack and one defense, that was two moves. The two sides in the field looked at each other again.

"Boy, how about it? Do you want to stay? I will teach you everything I know!" the old man said with a smile, his tone sincere.

But Lin Zheng did not answer. The people outside watched him silently, itching to rush forward and answer for him.

Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I need to take a leave. I have more important things to do. There are still eight moves left, let's continue!"

Indeed, Wen Tianqing and Temu Zhan shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Lin Zheng was usually very easy to get along with, but once he made a decision, he never looked back. Lin Dao and the others walked behind Lin Zheng, not saying a word, but indicating their readiness to continue.

"Heh, since that's the case, I'll make you stay directly. There are still eight moves, be careful!" the old man said, his body slowly rising into the air, looking down at Lin Zheng and the others. He laughed proudly, "Hmph, this is the advantage of a Saint!"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. This old man was too much. A Saint could move freely in the air, leaving Lin Zheng and the others with no chance to counterattack. Even if they could jump, they couldn't stay in the air for long. The old man clearly intended to keep Lin Zheng and the others, using the most underhanded moves. Of course, this was not the old man's fault; he just had a fondness for talent. The upcoming attacks would likely not harm Lin Zheng and the others.

Lin Zheng looked at the old man in the air, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He knew the old man's intentions, but this time, he might have to disappoint him. Just as everyone was secretly criticizing the old man, Lin Zheng did something that shocked everyone. He waved to Lin Dao and the others, then slowly rose into the air, stopping at the same height as the old man!

The old man's eyes nearly popped out, and he began to babble, "Damn! Damn! Damn! You're a Saint? How old are you? Are you even human?"

Not only was the old man flustered, but even the city lord and his group were speechless, their eyes wide with shock. This was the strength Lin Zheng had shown after his recent seclusion? This speed was too fast! He was clearly a Sub-Saint a few days ago, and now he was a Saint? The city lord seemed to recall the massive crystal consumption, which calmed him somewhat, but he still stared at the field, eyes wide. Lin Zheng was truly terrifying!

"Wow! What a show! Third Brother is so cool!" Lin Qin looked around at the shocked faces, as if she were the one being noticed!

"How old are you?" the old man suddenly asked, and the people below fell silent, holding
