Chapter 90

Lin Zheng's words went unanswered, and the elder on the Li family’s viewing platform, who had initially put away the long staff, saw the flying long sword and once again got up with a happy smile to receive this extraordinary-looking long sword. His face bloomed like a flower; in no time, he had acquired two holy artifacts! This deal was quite good! The Li family members looked at Lin Zheng with even more kindness, thinking to themselves: This Li family’s son-in-law is indeed excellent, even considering the Li family in his duels! For a moment, the Li family members were extremely satisfied with Lin Zheng, not at all worried about any problems with him.

The crowd around them, seeing Lin Zheng effortlessly knock down the challenger again, could not help but become noisy once more. Lin Zheng’s cultivation was indeed formidable, and apart from the first match, he had shown mercy in the other three matches. For a moment, the crowd’s good feelings toward Lin Zheng increased significantly!

The people on the viewing platforms of the Feng and Dou families had extremely ugly expressions. These few individuals were the hired thugs arranged by the two families, but they were cleanly and decisively dealt with by Lin Zheng, greatly boosting the prestige of others while diminishing their own!

An elder of the Feng family once again waved his hand inconspicuously, and two martial artists jumped onto the stage from below, the wind roaring like a tiger. The two martial artists stood loosely, but they gave the impression of two tigers on the stage! Every move they made exuded the demeanor of tigers from the mountains, as if they were two tigers in human skin?

But this was very possible, look! There was even a big wolf wearing flowered shorts on the stage over there!

"Are these the Two Tigers of Green Mountain?"

"Yes! They are the ones, it’s said they obtained a great Tiger Subduing Technique! They have practiced for many years and even lived with tigers in the deep mountains! They became famous in a battle! The two of them have the record of killing a Saint together!"

"It looks like this battle will be dangerous! The two brothers are not just a simple one plus one!"

"But Lin Zheng just killed a Sub-Saint with one strike!"

"Is Lin Zheng already a Saint?"

"Can’t be, how old is Lin Zheng?"

"I heard a merchant from Wushuang City say that Lin Zheng has recently crossed into the Saint realm, and he even withstood ten moves from a well-known Saint!"

"Then this will be a good show!"

The crowd below the stage was once again in a buzz of discussion, while the three people on the stage stood quietly, seemingly not in a hurry to make a move. The two brothers looked at Lin Zheng, and one of the taller martial artists said, "Brother Lin, sorry! One-on-one, the two of us are definitely not your match. We hope Brother Lin can give us some guidance!"

"Great Tiger Subduing Technique? Which level? I wonder if you have cultivated tiger bones?" Lin Zheng looked at the two and said very naturally.

"Hmm? Brother Lin is indeed well-informed! We two brothers have just entered the hall of the Great Tiger Subduing Technique. Does Brother Lin also know this technique? Can you give us some guidance?"

The martial artist’s eyes seemed to show a hint of surprise. To be able to say this, Lin Zheng must have seen the Great Tiger Subduing Technique. The two of them were not at all worried but instead showed a hint of excitement!

"Hehe, let’s just spar, not really guidance!" After saying this, Lin Zheng assumed a strange posture, and the bell on the Duanjin Platform rang again.

As soon as the bell sound faded, two loud roars came from the two brothers. Their clothes were torn to shreds, leaving only short pants. Black and white stripes appeared on their bodies, and a faint 'Wang' character appeared on their foreheads. A gust of wind rose, making people shiver!

Lin Zheng continued to maintain his strange posture, his body seemingly boneless, swaying with the wind. The two brothers of Green Mountain crouched like tigers about to pounce, rushing towards Lin Zheng. Two mighty tigers faintly appeared behind them, and the air currents they stirred up tore cracks in the stage!

When the two brothers were still a dozen feet away from Lin Zheng, the tiger figures in the air became even clearer. Four huge paws like dark clouds loomed over Lin Zheng, and the two huge tiger mouths seemed to want to swallow the world!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" At this moment, three even louder roars came from Lin Zheng. The ground within a dozen feet of Lin Zheng shattered, and a massive beast several dozen feet tall surged from behind him. A powerful aura erupted from Lin Zheng, and the surrounding spiritual energy swirled like a tornado into the giant beast. A majestic white tiger instantly appeared before everyone, while the two tigers conjured by the Green Mountain brothers retreated, trembling behind the two brothers, their attacks forcibly retracted. The eyes of the two tigers showed a human-like fear, flattery, and respect.

"Roar!" The divine beast white tiger behind Lin Zheng, sensing that these two weak descendants dared to challenge its dignity, glared, and the two small tigers instantly disappeared behind the Green Mountain brothers. The two brothers were suppressed by an unprecedented pressure. Perhaps due to their cultivation of the Great Tiger Subduing Technique, they did not even have the courage to stand, pressed to the ground by an invisible force. A deep-seated reverence uncontrollably emanated from their hearts. They barely raised their heads to look at Lin Zheng, and the giant white tiger, dissatisfied with their action, raised its paw to kill them, but Lin Zheng waved his hand to stop the white tiger. Then the white tiger roared again, shaking the entire Duanjin Platform, and its massive body turned into a bright light and returned to Lin Zheng’s body. Lin Zheng also returned to his normal posture, standing in place and waving his hand to lift the Green Mountain brothers.

"Is... is this a white tiger?" The two brothers exclaimed in disbelief.

"Your Great Tiger Subduing Technique is just a rudimentary version, probably just a few incomplete chapters. If you continue like this, you will never cultivate tiger bones, let alone tiger marrow. You will never achieve the true essence of the Great Tiger Subduing Technique!" Lin Zheng interrupted their murmurs and said.

"Bang! Bang!" The two brothers exchanged a glance, suddenly kneeling before Lin Zheng, and said in unison, "We wish to join the family, please accept us, Master!" The two brothers naturally knew Lin Zheng’s influence in Wushuang City and did not mention the Li family. They clearly wanted to recognize Lin Zheng as their master, a title that, once spoken, would forever bind them as servants!

"Alright! You go join the Li family. Following me is not suitable. I will teach you the true Great Tiger Subduing Technique later!" Lin Zheng said, lifting the two brothers again.

The two brothers exchanged another glance, bowed respectfully to Lin Zheng, and jumped towards the Li family. A Li family elder happily invited the two brothers to sit, but they walked straight to Li Ruoshui, bowed deeply, and stood behind her, fully alert.

Lin Zheng naturally saw this scene. The two brothers clearly told Lin Zheng that they knew everything about him, information clearly passed by the Feng or Dou families. As they passed Lin Zheng, they subtly stirred the wind, clearly indicating that the Feng family was behind this!

The two brothers were quite shrewd, and Lin Zheng nodded in satisfaction, continuing to stand in place. The Li family members were so happy that their mouths were almost splitting to their ears. Face! So much face! Although all this was due to Lin Zheng’s efforts, in the eyes of the crowd, Lin Zheng was now the Li family’s son-in-law! The glory would also be attributed to the Li family!

The crowd around them became noisy again, many martial artists staring in a daze at Lin Zheng. The divine beast had already stunned everyone, and who would have thought that Lin Zheng also knew the Great Tiger Subduing Technique, and was even more powerful than the Green Mountain brothers, directly conjuring a divine white tiger and suppressing the two with its aura alone!

The Feng family members’ faces became even uglier, and the surrounding discussions made them feel like sitting on pins and needles. The elder’s face turned ashen as he once again inconspicuously waved his hand, and five martial artists jumped onto the stage, surrounding Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng’s face also turned a bit ugly. Even if the opponents were not strong, after several battles, Lin Zheng was somewhat exhausted, especially after conjuring the divine white tiger! Knocking down these five martial artists was not difficult, but who knew if another five, seven, eight, or ten would follow!

Lin Zheng coldly looked at the five who jumped onto the stage, feeling some anger. It was time to make an example! This was clearly the two families’ plan, to send a continuous stream of challengers to wear him down, then attack when he was weakened, like a venomous snake striking!

But you miscalculated! Lin Zheng coldly glanced at the Feng and Dou families. At the same time, the bell on the Duanjin Platform rang for the sixth time. The five instantly attacked, their coordinated strikes enveloping Lin Zheng. It seemed he could not dodge in time. Boom! Boom! The area where Lin Zheng stood was instantly covered by a barrage of attacks, red-gold fragments flying into the air and being shattered by the continuous attacks!

The crowd held their breath, trying to see how Lin Zheng would dodge this terrifying attack. After the dust settled, the crowd was stunned to find no sign of Lin Zheng! Where was Lin Zheng?!

"Up in the air!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and all eyes instantly focused on Lin Zheng in mid-air!

The five on the stage stared at Lin Zheng in the air, unable to react. Lin Zheng descended from the sky, a giant foot like a giant’s, stomping down on one of the martial artists!

Whistling! The void seemed unable to withstand the force, emitting continuous explosions! Thud! The martial artist on the ground had no chance to dodge and was stomped into the ground. Lin Zheng’s figure flashed, landing on a martial artist to the left. A long sword appeared in his hand, raised to his back, and when he appeared in front of the martial artist, the sword slashed forward, slicing through the martial artist’s spirit armor and protective gear, splitting him in two!

Lin Zheng’s sword flicked, like lightning, slicing towards the third martial artist. The martial artist’s eyes showed shock as he tried to dodge, but Lin Zheng appeared behind him, a giant hand gripping the martial artist’s body, and the sword easily pierced through the martial artist’s neck, the remaining force passing by Lin Zheng’s ear!

In the next moment, Lin Zheng turned and punched the hilt of the sword, changing its direction towards the fourth martial artist. An unknown shield appeared in the martial artist’s hand, barely blocking the flying sword. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a scream came from behind! The fifth martial artist was tightly gripped by Lin Zheng’s hand and crushed to death!
