Chapter 90

Lin Jiang looked at Kong Youlin, quietly waiting for him to reveal the mystery.

Kong Youlin smiled gently, "I heard that Brother Lin has been trying to revive the Southern Cross Corps' mechanical arts and has a great interest in the fusion of martial souls and mechanical arts. I believe Brother Lin will be very interested in this item I have."

Lin Jiang smiled, "Brother Kong, don't keep me in suspense."

Kong Youlin took out a black bead, "This ancient soul bead, I obtained it by chance. Inside, there is a fragment of a powerful ancient soul general. Although it's not a complete ancient soul general, such a powerful ancient soul bead is quite rare. I heard that Brother Lin has been looking for such a soul bead, I wonder if this item can help you."

Lin Jiang's eyes suddenly became intensely hot, staring intently at the soul bead in Kong Youlin's hand.

Without a close look, he could clearly feel the extremely terrifying ferocity emanating from the fragment of the ancient soul general inside the soul bead from a distance.

What a ferocious aura!

Lin Jiang's heart was burning with excitement. Kong Youlin was right; he had been searching for a ferocious soul general. He had been researching the fusion of martial souls and mechanics for many years, and only recently made a breakthrough. However, he needed a ferocious soul general to succeed. He was amazed by Kong Youlin's well-informed sources, which even knew about this. Despite his admiration for Kong Youlin's abilities, he couldn't help but reach out for the soul bead.

Suddenly, a bronze tiger's claw appeared out of nowhere and snatched the soul bead before anyone could react.

Kong Youlin was taken aback for a moment, then became very interested, "Has Brother Lin's mechanical arts made such a significant breakthrough? This mechanical tiger is very spirited!"

Mechanical beasts could be seen everywhere in the Lin family estate, in the shapes of wolves, tigers, spiders, and more. Kong Youlin never expected someone to snatch the soul bead; he thought it was a highly advanced mechanical beast created by Lin Jiang, which was why he said that.

Lin Jiang was also taken aback.

The bronze tiger in front of him looked familiar but also strange. Lin Jiang was obsessed with mechanical beasts and had created various types. Seeing this familiar yet strange bronze tiger, he was momentarily stunned.

He wasn't sure if he had ever made such a mechanical tiger.

However, the style was indeed the Southern Cross Corps' style...

The next move of the bronze tiger left everyone stunned.

The bronze tiger simply dropped the soul bead into its mouth and then turned to mix in with the other mechanical beasts.

Everyone watched helplessly, unable to react.

Kong Youlin forced a smile, "Such a flexible mechanical beast, I've never seen anything like it."

Lin Jiang suddenly came to his senses, his face changed drastically, and he shouted in alarm, "Quick, chase it! That's someone in disguise!"

"But Father, that was clearly a mechanical beast..." Lin Wei was confused.

Kong Youlin's face froze, but then it changed drastically. He leaped into the air and pounced toward the mechanical tiger.

Woo woo woo!

All the mechanical beasts in the courtyard, with their eerie green eyes, looked up at Kong Youlin in the sky! Kong Youlin was not considered an enemy before because he was with Lin Jiang, but his sudden flight into the sky and aggressive behavior immediately triggered a chain reaction.

Puff puff puff!

Several mechanical wolves pounced at Kong Youlin in the sky. Swoosh swoosh swoosh! The bronze arrows from the bow spiders' backs shot at Kong Youlin like rain. The mechanical wolves leaped into the air and shot out dense metal nets to ensnare Kong Youlin. The mechanical tigers opened their mouths and fired thick beams of light at Kong Youlin.

Kong Youlin never expected such a terrifying attack.

His face turned pale, but as a seventh-rank powerhouse, he did not sit idly by. He let out a fierce roar, and his true energy surged to its peak, forming a snow-white armor on his body.

The Cygnus Bronze-level armor, [Swan Song]!

Snow-white feathers fell like snowflakes, and the exquisite and elegant snow-white armor looked like a work of art. The wing-like shoulder guards, the helmet shaped like two swans entwining, the finely engraved feather armor, the snow-white cloak, and the tail that looked like burning white flames, each spark turning into a snow-white feather.

Kong Youlin in the sky, his aura reaching its peak, looked like a prince from a myth, elegant and composed.

"Break!"

Kong Youlin uttered the true words, and his [Swan Song] armor suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. The snow-white cloak exploded!

Countless feathers swirled like a hurricane in all directions!

Snap snap snap!

The metal nets and bronze arrows collided with the feather hurricane and were instantly shredded to pieces!

When the feather hurricane met the light beams from the mechanical tigers' mouths, a scorching flame shot up. The most famous killing move of the Lin family's mechanical tigers was [Tiger Roar], which transformed the true energy inside the starstones into scorching flames.

Woo woo woo!

The mechanical beasts' roars echoed throughout the Lin family estate, and agile beast shadows surged toward this place like a tide.

Lin Jiang, as if waking from a dream, was about to deactivate the mechanical beasts' attacks when his body suddenly stiffened.

A moment later, he stared dumbly at the tiger claw protruding from his chest.

"Southern... Corps... Saber-toothed Tiger..."

Tang Tian, without a hint of hesitation, retreated and mixed back into the mechanical beasts. He had heard the entire conversation between Kong Youlin and Lin Jiang and deeply despised Lin Jiang. Upon learning that Lin Jiang was secretly investigating him and plotting to steal the bronze mechanical ostrich, Tang Tian did not hold back.

Lin Wei stared dumbly at Lin Jiang falling into a pool of blood, his body trembling like a sieve. If the attack had been on him...

Kong Youlin, disheveled, burst out of a massive fireball and, upon hearing the mechanical beasts' roars, immediately realized he had stirred up a hornet's nest. His face turned pale.

Damn!

He realized his mistake; this was the Lin family estate, and he should not have made the first move. The attacker had used a mechanical beast to hide his identity and blend in with the mechanical beasts, while his rash action immediately triggered the mechanical beasts' attack.

There was only one person who could resolve this!

Lin Jiang!

"Brother Lin! Quickly deactivate the attack!"

Kong Youlin's palm was enveloped in a soft white light, and he created a series of hand shadows in the sky. The seventh-rank martial technique, [Light Scattering Hands], his fingers were incredibly agile, flicking, tapping, swinging, and slapping, creating white hand prints that floated like feathers in the air. They seemed light and powerless, but the hard bronze arrows shattered upon contact.

Hmm? What is Lin Jiang doing?

Kong Youlin was anxious, and when he caught a glimpse of Lin Jiang lying in a pool of blood on the ground, his pupils dilated!

Damn!

Kong Youlin's face turned pale again. He knew he was in trouble. The enemy's cunning far exceeded his expectations. Only the most ruthless and vicious people could be so clever.

When did he provoke such a person?

Or was it a strong enemy brought to the Lin family, and he just happened to be there?

Kong Youlin's face changed, but at that moment, all the mechanical beasts' eyes turned from green to red!

The mechanical beasts in the Lin family were not mass-produced for sale but were handmade by Lin Jiang. The highest authority belonged to Lin Jiang, and with his death, all the mechanical beasts immediately entered a self-destruct mode.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Flames began to emerge from the joints of the mechanical beasts, quickly enveloping their entire bodies.

Their blood-red eyes were terrifying, and the bronze surfaces of the mechanical beasts began to melt.

A flaming mechanical beast roared and, with a sudden burst of strength, pounced at Kong Youlin in the sky. Kong Youlin felt a ball of flames coming at him incredibly fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye, and the scorching heat hit him.

The red eyes of the flaming mechanical beast sent a chill down his spine.

He clenched his teeth, turned his palm into a fist, and the white light on his hand intensified. A white fist beam shot out.

The classic martial technique of the Light Martial Association, the seventh-rank [Light Fist]!

The fist beam, once released, shone like the sun.

Boom!

The mechanical beast exploded in front of him, turning into a ball of flames. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then, a series of fierce roars echoed like a tide, and figures with flames rose into the air.

Balls of fire rose from the ground, drawing bright red trails from all directions, pouncing at Kong Youlin in the sky.

Kong Youlin's face drained of all color.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Watching the spectacular scene in the sky, Tang Tian and Bing remained silent.

"Such a pity," Tang Tian muttered.

"What's a pity? He was doomed," Bing was puzzled. He was impressed by Tang Tian's performance, giving him a perfect score. Tang Tian had fully utilized his advantages and intelligence, just as he had predicted. Tang Tian's combat IQ was astonishing.

Tang Tian controlled the saber-toothed tiger, on all fours, disguised as a mechanical beast, and suddenly approached Kong Youlin and Lin Jiang, snatching the soul bead, completely surprising them.

When Kong Youlin triggered the mechanical beasts' attack, Tang Tian immediately seized the critical moment, killing Lin Jiang, and trapping Kong Youlin in a deadly situation.

Bing was unimpressed by the mechanical beasts' strength but acknowledged their overwhelming numbers and the self-destruct mode. No matter how strong Kong Youlin was, he couldn't escape.

Bing understood mechanical beasts and knew how terrifying a suicidal attack by so many mechanical beasts could be.

He was amazed by Tang Tian, who seemed born for battle. In battle, Tang Tian was completely transformed, cold, cunning, brave, and ruthless, without a single flaw!

So when he heard Tang Tian say it was a pity, he was curious.

Tang Tian looked at his fist, his mood low, and said softly, "I'm sorry I couldn't defeat him with my own fists."

"I don't know why, but I hate feeling weaker than others more and more! This feeling is terrible, hateful!"

"Bing, I must become the strongest!"

Tang Tian's face was full of arrogance and defiance, and his eyes were serious.
