Chapter 20: Full Firepower!

  At dawn, sunlight shines on Tianyu City.

  Tang Lin left Tian Xiang Lou after washing up and arrived at the huge square, where according to the notice, the 9th ranked player had agreed to his challenge.

  When Tang Lin arrived at the third platform, a slender figure in aqua green was already standing there, like a beautiful landscape painting, serene and unassuming, making people feel as if they were immersed in it just by looking at her.

  Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat as he watched, "A strong Dao realm..."

  People from different realms have distinct personalities, those in the realm of unity with heaven and humanity exude a sense of effortless perfection and flawless elegance in every gesture.

  But those who have entered the realm of transcendence and sainthood possess a transcendent elegance, as for those who have reached the realm of Tao... Tang Lin had an epiphany after seeing this water-green-clothed girl -

  Just one glance can make you immerse and lose yourself.

  Tang Lin gathered his thoughts and walked up the battle stage, looking at her with a serious expression. This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced in history!

  "Are you Tang Lin?" The water-green-clothed girl smiled as she looked at Tang Lin, saying: "Your aura is very thick and your spiritual power is very strong. No wonder you have the guts to challenge the top ten."

  Tang Lin said in a low voice: "Are you a strong Dao realm?"

  The girl in the aqua-green dress smiled and said, "Not bad, so next time you'd better be careful. I'll use you to practice my newly learned sword skills. I hope you can last a few more rounds."

  Tang Lin remained silent and did not speak.

  At this time, the referee announced the start of the fight.

  Tang Lin didn't choose a weapon, and instead, his body emitted a fiery red aura that covered him entirely, like molten lava. His hair stood on end in wild disarray, and his skin was covered in layer upon layer of fine, crimson scales.

  "Oh?" The water-green-clothed girl exclaimed in surprise: "You still have a barbarian god's bloodline?"

  Tang Lin didn't respond. He mobilized all his internal energy, rotating the chaotic-colored vortex on his dantian to its fastest speed.

  In this battle, he decided to use all his trump cards.

  Rumble...

  The sky above the square gradually darkened, with dark clouds surging in from all directions, shrouding the entire battlefield.

  The Kirin bloodline within Tang Lin was fully activated, and a bright red flame enveloped his body. This flame carried intense high temperatures, covering the entire battlefield, and if not for the special material of this battlefield, it would have melted into magma in an instant.

  The girl in green clothes stood quietly in the flames, with a nearly transparent aura surrounding her body within a radius of one zhang.

  The sea of flames on the battlefield could not invade her body in the slightest.

  Then she slowly drew out a slender sword, and at the moment it was drawn, even those standing below the stage felt a sharp, cold aura rush forth, as if their necks were being slit open.

  The sword reflected her cheek, absolutely beautiful and agile in the eerie flames.

  Roar!!!

  On the battlefield, amidst a sea of flames, a crimson qilin emerged, its body engulfed in fire. With a sudden leap, its eyes gleamed like copper bells with an icy metallic luster, staring at the water-green-clad girl, and then it violently spat out a ball of flame.

  Boom!

  The motionless body of the aqua-green girl was approached by a fireball which automatically split and dispersed.

  After Tang Lin displayed his barbaric godly bloodline, his body transformed into a qilin-like appearance. When he displayed his bloodline, he was unable to grasp his sword.

  Although it was said so, the amplification of bloodline given to Tang Lin was extremely large, whether it was strength or speed, both increased by tenfold!

  In terms of strength alone, Tang Lin was confident that no one could surpass him.

  Whoosh!

  Tang Lin's figure flashed, moving in the flames, using his "shrinking earth to inches" technique, instantly appearing behind the water-green-clothed girl, and trampling down with his black hooves that were engulfed in flames.

  Pfft!

  The girl in the aqua-green dress had eyes on the back of her head, and the sword in her hand suddenly turned around and swung over, a snow-white light that was as thin as a thread, cut open a deep wound on Tang Lin's hoof that exposed his bone.

  Tang Lin was shocked in his heart. After transforming into a Qilin, his entire body was like wearing a low-grade holy artifact for battle. This green-clothed girl could actually hurt him.

  He immediately retreated in a flash, soaring into the sky and letting out a loud roar.

  Roar!!

  Qilin's long cry shakes the voice of the four fields.

  The sky changed color, and the wind and clouds surged to Tang Lin's head. Everyone saw this Qilin, which was covered in burning flames, summon a black hole from the dark cloud, frantically devouring everything on the battlefield.

  "Purification!"

  Tang Lin's body scales floated with a pure white light, enveloping his body. Anyone who approached him would be purified, greatly weakening their strength and speed.

  At this moment, Tang Lin's state is such that he can completely trample and kill the previous Wu Tong with one hoof.

  In the sea of flames, the water-green-clothed girl held a slender sword and looked up at the qilin in the sky. Her clear eyes sparkled with light, "If I hadn't grasped the 'life and death' way, I wouldn't have been able to defeat you, what a pity..."

  She gripped the sword in her hand tightly.

  "Life and Death Road - Withered!"

  She raised the sword in her hand, and a river of snow-like sword light shot out. As this sword energy emerged, it seemed to become the only ray of light between heaven and earth.

  The endless sea of flames that had been swirling around her suddenly withered and died out, the battlefield instantly restored to its original state.

  The sword light burst straight into Tang Lin's face.

  Tang Lin immediately felt that the sword light was like a flood coming from all sides, completely enveloping his body. The most frightening thing was that this sword light carried a kind of destructive power.

  Tang Lin's heart was trembling with this force, as if his life would be extinguished under this sword.

  "Is this the way...?" Tang Lin suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

  Then he gritted his teeth and growled: "Reverse light---"

  He opened his mouth and let out a loud roar, a white light burst forth from his mouth, this light was like a sword that tore through the sky, unstoppable.

  What power can surpass the light that tears through the darkness of night?

  When Tang Lin burst out of the backlight, he seemed to touch a wonderful realm in his heart, and this feeling was like a flash of spirit, fleeting.

  Boom!

  The sword light and the backlight collided, bursting out a dazzling friction between heaven and earth, as if a sun-like glow was born in the collision of the friction.

  Then the light ball expanded and exploded with a loud noise.

  The girl in the aqua-green dress had a sharp glint in her eyes, and with a fine sword in hand, she swung out a second slash of sword energy.

  Sword energy like river.

  As if a silver-white waterfall was flung out from her sword, shooting straight up to the ninth heaven.

  Tang Lin roared, the chaotic colored gas in his body rolling frantically and shooting out of his mouth, like a sword energy colliding with the opponent.

  The chaotic color energy quickly assimilated the sword energy, but the sword energy seemed to contain a will that Tang Lin couldn't assimilate.

  This will was like a vast historical torrent, rolling into Tang Lin's sea of consciousness, and he felt that in front of this will, he was as small as an ant.

  "This is the way..." Tang Lin felt a sense of despair.

  The power of the way is irresistible.

  A sword light whizzed through the chaotic colored air flow, heavily striking Tang Lin's body and directly hitting his heart.

  Tang Lin furiously urged the chaotic-colored energy flow within his body, desperately protecting the position of his heart. However, this icy sword energy still penetrated through layers of defense and transmitted into his body.

  Tang Lin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his heart racing wildly, the meridians in his body suddenly chaotic. The crimson scales on his body receded like the tide, revealing his human form.

  Whoosh!

  Tang Lin's body plummeted straight down from high in the air.

  Boom!

  He smashed heavily on the battlefield, especially when a meteorite fell down.

  The dark clouds dispersed in an instant, and the sunlight reappeared. The battlefield regained its calmness. Tang Lin's body lay on the stage, his entire skeleton as if it had been dislocated, losing all his strength.

  A girl in a water-green dress walked up to Tang Lin, pulled out a pale green pill from her hand and said softly: "You're hurt too badly, no offense was meant, this is the healing holy medicine of our Emerald Heart Lake, take it."

  Tang Lin gritted his teeth and struggled to get up.

  The girl in the green dress put down the dan medicine on the ground, stood up, and floated like a fairy, saying softly: "You are the first person who has not reached the Tao realm but can fight against the strong Taoist. Such talent, if you can enter the Xiaoxian realm, maybe one day you will be my opponent, unfortunately..."

  She turned and floated away, her absolutely beautiful figure like a fairy, taking away all the attention of the entire audience.

  Only that one youth sitting on the battlefield, panting heavily, was forgotten in the corner of everyone's line of sight.

  Tang Lin clenched his fists tightly, biting his lips so hard that they bled, and the fresh blood seeped into his mouth, the metallic taste slowly spreading...

  I lost!

  In this battle, he deeply understood the power of the Dao realm! Although he had activated his Bloodline and possessed a strange and sacred body, in front of the power of the Dao realm, they were all completely useless.

  According to Master Tie Shi's words, this time there are at least a dozen or so people who have attained enlightenment!

  His heart was like dead ashes, he lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly!

  Second sister!

  Tang Lin's teeth chattered with a "ka ka" sound, and his gums even bled.

  Is it really impossible to enter the top ten?

  Unwilling to give up, unwilling to give up!!

  Tang Lin looked up at the sky, basking in the sunlight, but he couldn't feel even a hint of warmth.

  If a person's heart is filled with cold despair, how can they feel the warmth around them?

  Azure sky, white clouds floating.

  Carefree white clouds.

  Tang Lin gazed for a long time, then silently withdrew his gaze, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, picked up that emerald green dan medicine, and slowly walked down from the battlefield.

  Everyone in the audience was watching as the young man's solitary figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

  Red Dust Inn, top floor.

  Tie Shi gazed at the projection of Tang Lin's back, his brow furrowed. After a moment, he let out a sigh and said, "This kid has an odd fixation on the top ten. It seems like he'd do anything to get in, even if it kills him. This failure must be a huge blow to him."

  "Hurry up and comfort your precious disciple." The young man in white smiled: "The person who is hurt always needs comforting at this moment."

  "Let him be." Iron Lion sighed: "A true strongman doesn't need consolation."

  The young man in white was taken aback, and then fell silent.
