Chapter 96

Now that Lin Tian had entered the Divine Pulse realm, his various abilities had increased several times. A mere Sixth Stage Body Tempering soldier could not possibly withstand his kick. The fact that he did not die on the spot was already a sign of Lin Tian's mercy.

"We were ordered to deliver a challenge to the city lord, and you dare to attack us! What audacity!"

The leader shouted in anger.

Without a word, Lin Tian grabbed the man's collar and slapped him across the face twice. Deliver a challenge? Did these people think he was an idiot, unable to sense the slightest hostility?

"You..."

"Bang!"

With a kick, Lin Tian sent the man flying.

Among the three, the other man's face turned pale, never expecting Lin Tian to be so aggressive.

The crowd around them stared with wide eyes.

"Who is that young man! He actually dared to attack the empire's soldiers?"

"This..."

"It seems that is Lin Tian, the young master of the Lin family, and Lin Xi is also there."

"This... Even if the Lin family hasn't fallen, they don't have the power to oppose the army. It's impossible for them to provoke the empire's soldiers, especially now. Has Lin Tian gone mad?"

"But, how did he become so strong?"

On the street, many people stared with wide eyes.

At this moment, the sound of hooves echoed again, and the ground shook even more.

In a blink, a group of dozens of soldiers rushed over, with three blood-sweating horses at the front. Each horse carried a middle-aged man, all exuding a chilling and oppressive aura.

The three middle-aged men, all generals of Fengjian City, were named Li Yundong, Chen Ping, and Zheng Mo, each at the initial stage of the Divine Pulse realm.

"What's going on!"

Chen Ping shouted coldly.

The soldier who had not been kicked by Lin Tian immediately brightened his eyes and rushed forward, shouting, "Three great generals, this person not only obstructed military affairs but also attacked us! He is truly lawless, please punish him!"

"Nonsense, it was clearly your horses that charged at us, and you fell off the horses yourselves, then deliberately caused trouble. We were just defending ourselves!"

Su Shu said angrily.

"You're the one talking nonsense! It was you who blocked the road, startling the war horses!" The soldier pointed at Lin Tian, "And him! Ignoring the empire's laws, he attacked our comrades in public, all of this is true!"

The three generals glanced at Lin Tian, a cold light passing through their eyes.

Chen Ping said coldly, "Seize him!"

"Yes!"

As these words fell, a group of soldiers rushed forward, pressing toward Lin Tian.

Su Shu was furious, "You dare to act recklessly!"

At this moment, Lin Tian reached out and placed Su Shu behind him.

Lifting his head, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at the three men on the blood-sweating horses, "Commander's office, Zhou He's subordinates?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around changed color.

"This person actually calls the commander by his name?!"

"This is..."

"What audacity, it's a matter of life and death! A matter of life and death!"

Many people were shocked.

Many people moved even further away, afraid of being associated with Lin Tian.

The commander of Fengjian City, second only to the city lord, controlled all the troops in Fengjian City, and was revered. Even the heads of major families dared not show disrespect, yet now, someone dared to call the commander by his name.

This was a grave disrespect!

On the blood-sweating horses, the three men's faces turned cold, "Seize him! Dead or alive!"

With this order, the group of soldiers moved forward with even more chilling intent, directly pressing toward Lin Tian.

These soldiers were all veterans, their auras far more terrifying than ordinary martial artists. At this moment, this aura converged and surged forward, making Lin Tian's sister, Lin Xi, shudder.

"Brother."

Holding onto Lin Tian's clothes, Lin Xi's beautiful little face turned slightly pale, a bit afraid.

After all, Lin Xi was just an eight-year-old girl.

Lowering his head to look at Lin Xi, Lin Tian's face became even colder. Having reached the Divine Pulse realm, he had brought Lin Xi out for a walk, but did not expect to encounter such a situation.

Just a moment ago, Lin Xi was smiling, but now she was filled with fear.

"Su Shu, take care of Little Xi."

He said coldly.

Su Shu nodded subconsciously, as a martial artist and being so close, she clearly felt Lin Tian's anger.

Immediately, Su Shu pulled Lin Xi over, carefully protecting her.

At this moment, the group of soldiers had already arrived.

"Surrender!"

The leader shouted, and he even thrust his spear at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian grabbed the spear, and with a shake of his right hand, a powerful force transmitted through the spear, sending the man flying with a bang.

"You dare to resist!"

Someone shouted from the side.

Lin Tian pulled the spear, and in a flash, he was in front of the man, kicking him hard. This kick was merciless, sending the man flying nearly ten zhang away, lying on the ground motionless.

"You..."

The group of soldiers who had come forward all changed color.

Lin Tian's face was expressionless, and without a word, he held the spear like a staff and swept it horizontally.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The group of soldiers who had come forward were thrown like straw dummies, blood spraying everywhere.

Seeing this, gasps of shock echoed around.

Among them, some were martial artists, their eyes almost popping out.

"Insane!"

"Each of those people was at the Seventh Stage Body Tempering, yet they were swept away in one strike!"

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Some people were trembling with fear.

On the three blood-sweating horses, the three men's faces turned grim.

Chen Ping, in the middle, said coldly, "Beating up the empire's soldiers in the street, you have great audacity..."

At this moment, the sound of a spear piercing the air rang out. Lin Tian threw the spear, which pierced Chen Ping's right shoulder and carried him off the horse with the remaining force.

With a bang, Chen Ping landed five zhang away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Li Yundong and Zheng Mo both changed color.

"Bold!"

"Everyone, attack! Seize him!"

The two shouted.

After speaking, they leaped off their horses, quickly coming to Chen Ping's side to treat his injuries.

At the same time, the soldiers behind the three horses rushed forward, roaring with astonishing battle aura. These people were all at least Seventh Stage Body Tempering, with the strongest at Ninth Stage Body Tempering. None of them were weak, all were powerful.

Lin Tian's face was cold, and he did not dodge, stepping forward to meet them.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the first person was kicked flying, nearly half-dead.

These people were not weak, but compared to Lin Tian, they were as fragile as infants.

For a moment, cries of pain echoed, and soldiers kept falling.

"My goodness!"

"Madman!"

Many people could not help but swallow their saliva.

At this moment, the noise here was intense, attracting the attention of many people.

The Yi Bao Pavilion was not far from here. Although there were many ancient buildings around, the Yi Bao Pavilion stood out. At this moment, in a room on the second floor of the Yi Bao Pavilion, Xin Yao and Pu Shi were discussing something. Hearing the noise, they both frowned. Xin Yao got up and walked to the window. In her field of vision, a young man was surrounded by dozens of soldiers, yet he moved as if on flat ground, always sending someone flying with a wave of his hand, and always causing someone to scream with a kick.

"Such a strong young man, he actually dares to provoke the empire's army."

Xin Yao was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, a light flashed, and Xin Yao's face changed.

"Pu Lao! Come quickly!"

Xin Yao called out.

"What's wrong?"

Pu Shi asked.

Xin Yao stared straight out the window, not turning her head, "You'll see when you come!"

Pu Shi was curious; this was the first time he had seen Xin Yao so agitated.

Immediately, Pu Shi walked over and looked outside.

"Oh? This young man actually dares to fight the empire's soldiers in the street, he has quite the nerve."

Pu Shi frowned.

"It's not that!" Xin Yao shook her head, pointing out the window, "Pu Lao, look at his right hand!"

Pu Shi was even more curious and followed Xin Yao's gaze.

Instantly, Pu Shi's face changed, "That is?!"

In the field of vision, the young man surrounded by dozens of soldiers had a stone ring on his right middle finger.

"Is this stone ring...?"

"There's no mistake! It's the stone ring we bought not long ago and later sold to that person!"

Xin Yao's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Pu Shi was finally moved, "So, this young man fighting dozens of soldiers is that black-robed young brother with the third-stage array control skills?"

"Absolutely! I won't mistake that stone ring!"

Xin Yao nodded forcefully.

Pu Shi, who was usually calm, now had a flickering gaze.

After a dozen breaths, Pu Shi finally calmed down, "Yes! Miss, you shouldn't have remembered wrong, and only this can explain why this young man doesn't take the empire's soldiers seriously and dares to attack them in the street. If this young man is indeed that black-robed young brother, he does have the capital to ignore the empire's soldiers!"

The two looked out the window, silent for a long time.

"Little guy, I finally caught your true form! This is your own exposure, I didn't investigate you." Xin Yao clenched her fists, her seductive posture adding to her allure. After a pause, Xin Yao's face turned serious, and she looked at Pu Shi, "Pu Lao, go help him when it's appropriate."

Pu Shi smiled, "No need."

"No need?" Xin Yao frowned, "Those soldiers might not be his match, but there are three generals at the back. These three are quite famous in Fengjian City and might pose a threat to him."

Xin Yao had been in Fengjian City for a long time and was familiar with the city's major and minor forces and some famous people. These three were considered important figures in Fengjian City.

Pu Shi smiled, "Miss, haven't you noticed? That young brother has already entered the Divine Pulse realm."

Upon hearing this, Xin Yao's face changed.

"Divine Pulse realm?! Pu Lao, are you sure?"

Xin Yao was shocked.

At sixteen, Divine Pulse realm, what did that mean?

"How could I be wrong about such a thing," Pu Shi shook his head, his eyes flashing with sharpness, "Sixteen years old, third-stage array controller, Divine Pulse realm strong, I really want to know what kind of terrifying expert stands behind this young brother, to be able to cultivate such a monstrous disciple."
