Chapter 86

Listening to Lin Tian's words, Rong Xiu and the other two all changed their expressions: "Do you really want to...?"

Lin Tian's face was expressionless, and he did not speak.

His figure flickered, and in the next moment, he appeared in front of the three, his long sword slashing down directly.

The three all changed their expressions, and Zhao Lin raised his broadsword to block in front.

With a clang, the long sword and the broadsword collided, and an unprecedented force was transmitted from the long sword to the broadsword, the fierce force causing Zhao Lin to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Get out of here."

Lin Tian said coldly, raising his hand to slap.

With a slap, Zhao Lin flew horizontally, directly rolling off the main platform.

Falling off the main platform, Zhao Lin spat out blood while struggling to stand up, staring angrily at Lin Tian. The melee was clearly already over, but now, he had been knocked off the main platform by Lin Tian!

Falling off the main platform meant losing the qualification for selection.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Lin roared in anger.

This scene happened in an instant, and it wasn't until Zhao Lin was knocked off the main platform and roared in anger that everyone came to their senses.

"This..."

"The remaining four, it's already over, why... why..."

"Surprisingly, he knocked another one down, only three are left."

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

However, in the next moment, everyone was shocked again. On the main platform, Lin Tian approached Rong Xiu and Hua Yongchang.

Seeing this, even Mu Qing and Shi Dong were moved.

The middle-aged man in charge of the inner court selection frowned, took a big step forward, and prepared to stop him.

"Clang!"

At this moment, an even sharper sword cry sounded, and a fierce sword intent spread throughout the main platform.

Lin Tian displayed the Lightning Sword, instantly cutting off the long spear in Hua Yongchang's hand and leaving a deep sword mark on Hua Yongchang's chest.

Holding his chest, Hua Yongchang's hands were full of blood.

"Junior Brother Lin, stop! The inner court selection is already over, we don't need to fight anymore!"

Hua Yongchang said in a panic.

Once falling off the main platform, one would lose the qualification for the inner court selection. Seeing Zhao Lin's fate, Hua Yongchang was somewhat afraid; he did not want to lose the inner court disciple position he had already obtained.

"Do you think you can stop just because you say so? Do you think you are who?"

Lin Tian's expression was cold.

Raising his left hand, the Fire Fist responded.

Now, Lin Tian's cultivation had reached the ninth level of Body Tempering. Using the ninth level of Body Tempering to drive this Fire Fist, its power was formidable. Eighteen Fire Fists simultaneously struck Hua Yongchang, and his body instantly caught fire, flying off the main platform with a painful scream.

Under the main platform, everyone was stunned.

"Another one..."

"Only two are left."

"He... is approaching Rong Xiu."

"Is this Lin Tian going to knock everyone off the main platform?"

"This..."

Many spectators stared wide-eyed.

Since the founding of the Nine Yang Martial Hall, when the final melee of the inner court selection ended, and the specified number of people remained on the main platform, it meant the battle was over, and there was no need to continue fighting. However, now, the melee could have ended, but Lin Tian did not let it end, instead, he knocked two more people off the main platform.

Although the Nine Yang Martial Hall did not stipulate that the remaining people could not continue fighting, generally, no one would choose to continue fighting at this point, as it was a thankless task. However, now, Lin Tian did this, the first to do so, setting a new precedent in the history of the Martial Hall!

"This guy is really... domineering!"

Someone's eyes gleamed.

Although they were shocked by Lin Tian's actions, gradually, more people felt excited.

People are unwilling to challenge conventions, but they hope to see others do so.

In the distance, Lu Sheng and Zhou Hao stood together, their faces extremely gloomy.

"This arrogant little brat!"

Lu Sheng's face was dark.

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Wait until he knocks everyone off, and then he gets knocked off himself. Wouldn't that be better?"

With a smile on his face, Zhou Hao appeared very calm throughout.

"Right! At that time, that little brat probably won't even be able to cry!"

Lu Sheng sneered.

In a more distant place, behind a rockery, several inner court disciples had a gleam in their eyes.

"Interesting! This Lin Tian is very good!"

The man in black said solemnly.

...

On the main platform, only three people remained: Lin Tian, Rong Xiu, and Mo Kong, who had lost his qualification.

"Damn it!"

Staring at Lin Tian's back, Mo Kong's face was very ugly.

Mo Kong never imagined that the outcome of twenty-four people surrounding one person would be like this! He moved his legs, but couldn't muster any strength, unable to even stand up.

At this moment, Lin Tian was already approaching Rong Xiu.

"Junior Brother Lin, stop, let's talk!" Rong Xiu's face changed: "Attacking you together at the beginning was our fault. After entering the inner court, Senior Brother will apologize to you. Now, can we stop for a moment?"

Having truly experienced Lin Tian's strength and seeing Zhao Lin and Hua Yongchang being kicked off the main platform one after another, Rong Xiu's heart trembled. He knew very well that he was no match for Lin Tian and did not want to lose the qualification to enter the inner court.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking air rang out, and Lin Tian used the Lightning Sword to instantly approach Rong Xiu.

With a clang, Lin Tian's long sword firmly pressed down on Rong Xiu's spear.

Rong Xiu held the spear with both hands, feeling his arms go numb, his heart trembling even more, looking at Lin Tian with fear. This slightly delicate-looking young man was only sixteen years old, yet he could hold the sword with one hand and press down on him, making him feel as if a mountain was pressing on his spear.

"You..."

Looking at Lin Tian, Rong Xiu's voice trembled.

With a clang, Lin Tian's long sword vibrated violently, and the sword qi burst out, several sword qi piercing into Rong Xiu's arms.

"Ah!"

Rong Xiu screamed, his arms covered in blood.

Lin Tian raised his leg, and with a thud, he kicked Rong Xiu off the main platform.

Falling off the main platform, Rong Xiu trembled all over, his eyes filled with resentment and deep regret. He could have entered the inner court normally, but for the sake of the tens of thousands of spirit coins promised by Mo Kong, he ended up like this. Falling off the main platform meant losing the qualification to enter the inner court.

Around the main platform, all the spectators stared wide-eyed.

"This... he really knocked everyone off!"

"This guy is really... fierce!"

"So cool!"

Many people felt their hearts race, and some female disciples even looked starry-eyed.

In the distance, Shi Dong and Mu Qing stared at this scene, exchanging glances, and both couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"This little guy is really causing trouble."

Mu Qing was helpless.

Beside him, Su Shu huffed, "What do you mean by causing trouble! Those bastards were shameless and deserved to be knocked off!"

Twenty-four senior disciples surrounding one new disciple made Su Shu very angry.

"Never mind, Su girl is right. It's their own fault." Shi Dong rubbed his forehead, "How to say it, this sets a new record for the Martial Hall, right?"

On the main platform, Lin Tian turned and walked toward Mo Kong.

"Clang!"

The sword cry sounded again, making everyone's faces change.

"What's going on? Didn't he knock everyone off?"

"He's approaching Mo Kong."

"Mo Kong? Mo Kong is lying on the ground, completely incapacitated, and has already lost the qualification."

Many people were puzzled.

"Is he going to kick this person off to vent his anger?"

"This... is possible."

"Better yet, I like this scene!"

Some people whispered to each other.

In the distance, Mu Qing and Shi Dong were also puzzled.

"What is this little guy trying to do?"

Shi Dong frowned.

On the main platform, Lin Tian walked to Mo Kong, his long sword slightly raised, the cold blade resting on Mo Kong's neck.

"You said before that there would be an unexpected event, right?"

Lin Tian said indifferently.

Hearing this, Mo Kong's face changed drastically.

"Elder! Elder! He... he's going to kill me! Save me, Elder!"

Mo Kong shouted.

At this moment, Mo Kong's eyes were filled with intense fear. As he had said before, he had investigated Lin Tian and knew him well, so he did not doubt that Lin Tian would dare to kill him in public.

Hearing Mo Kong's voice, all the disciples were moved.

"This... how is this possible?"

"Even if he doesn't want to be kicked off the main platform, he wouldn't make such a joke, right?"

"Exactly!"

Many people pointed at Mo Kong, no one believing his words. After all, the Martial Hall prohibited killing among disciples, unless both parties agreed to a life-or-death battle, like Lin Tian and Mo Sen three months ago. Otherwise, if a killing incident occurred, the Martial Hall would impose the harshest punishment.

Seeing that no one believed him, Mo Kong shouted in terror, "It's true! It's true! Elder, save me!"

The cold blade against his neck made Mo Kong extremely afraid.

Seeing this, many disciples gradually showed doubt.

"This..."

Many people were swayed.

In the distance, Mu Qing and Shi Dong frowned, "Lin Tian, what's going on?"

Hearing Mu Qing and Shi Dong speak, Lin Tian looked in their direction and nodded in greeting.

Scanning the hundreds of disciples, Lin Tian's expression was very calm.

"Everyone here should not be unfamiliar with the grudge between Lin Tian and the Mo family. Three months ago, because I outshone Mo Sen in the assessment and for other reasons, Mo Sen hated me to the bone. Coincidentally, Mo Sen had a good uncle, who was an elder of the Martial Hall. At that time, in the final round of the assessment, Mo Yi drew lots, and very conveniently, I was paired with Mo Sen. Then, Mo Sen proposed a life-or-death battle, and Mo Yi agreed."

"Everyone here is talented, at least smarter than ordinary people. I think everyone should be very clear about what's going on."

Hearing this, all the disciples were moved.

"This..."

Many senior disciples frowned.

According to Lin Tian's words, the senior disciples could guess that this was definitely a deliberate act by Mo Yi, a conspiracy!

And the more than a hundred new disciples already knew about this matter and the underlying issues.

"That Mo Yi is shameless."

Someone muttered quietly.

In the distance, Mu Qing and Shi Dong's faces were slightly awkward. This matter was indeed very excessive on Mo Yi's part, and as an elder of the Nine Yang Martial Hall, Mo Yi also represented the Nine Yang Martial Hall, which was not a good thing.

"Why is this little guy suddenly bringing this up?"

Mu Qing smiled bitterly.

On the main platform, Lin Tian's expression was calm, and he continued, "The Mo family is a martial family, and Mo Yi knew that Mo Sen had a medium-level Body Tempering martial technique and was one level higher in cultivation than me. Therefore, Mo Yi was certain that Mo Sen could kill me. However, unfortunately, the outcome did not go as he wished."

"In that battle, Mo Sen died. Then, Mo Yi personally acted, disregarding the rules he had set, and tried to kill me in public. If it weren't for Elders Mu Qing and Shi Dong's intervention, Lin Tian would not be standing here today. Here, Lin Tian would like to thank the two elders again. Without the two elders, Lin Tian would have died at Mo Yi's hands long ago."

Saying this, Lin Tian bowed deeply to Mu Qing and Shi Dong.

Straightening up, Lin Tian continued, "At that time, Mo Yi hated me, and the entire Mo family was constantly plotting against me. A month ago, I went to the Dark Forest to train. Due to some despicable people, my whereabouts were exposed, and the entire Mo family rushed to the Dark Forest to hunt me down. Among those hunting me, the head of the Mo family, Mo Hai, personally came, and Martial Hall elder Mo Yi also followed! If it weren't for Lin Tian's good luck, I would have died then."

Hearing this, everyone was moved again.

Lu Sheng, standing with Zhou Hao, trembled slightly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and his face turned ugly.

In a more distant place, Mu Qing and Shi Dong's faces changed drastically.

"Is there such a thing!?"

Both of their eyes turned icy.
