Chapter 21: Break off one of your legs!

  "Who are you?" Several guards walked over from the side, looking at Tang Lin who was surrounded by a strong murderous aura, and shouted: "How dare you barge into the martial competition, I..."

  Whoosh!

  The guard had not finished speaking, when Tang Lin's body flashed like a phantom and seemed to disappear. In the midst of everyone's stunned reaction, the stone sword on the stage suddenly shone brightly in its eyes and rapidly retreated backwards.

  A purple figure suddenly appeared in the place where he was standing, like a sharp sword with cold light radiating from it, its straight body nailed to the wooden board of the martial stage. Tang Lin didn't go look at Shi Jian, as if all the people in the entire square didn't exist; he bent down and helped Tang Long up from the ground.

  "Little bookworm!" Tang Long saw Tang Lin, his eyes showed joy, although he was severely injured and weak, he still smiled and said: "I knew it, you wouldn't be in trouble."

  Tang Lin felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he said gently: "You go down first, I'll take care of things here."

  Tang Long's expression was serious as he said, "This person is very strong, you must be careful."

  "Uh-huh." Tang Lin nodded, supporting him down from the stage, and looked at his father's face as he came up. There seemed to be a few white hairs on his temples, and Tang Lin's heart trembled slightly. He clenched his fist quietly and said in a hoarse voice, "Father, don't worry, I'll take care of it from now on!"

  Tang Tian looked at Tang Lin, his face unable to conceal his joy, and said: "It's good that you're back. Don't be too proud of yourself. This Stone Sword has reached the realm of 'Heavenly Unity', it's very difficult to deal with."

  Tang Lin nodded.

  Watching Tang Tian supporting his big brother to leave, Tang Lin slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around, and did not look at Shi Jian beside him, but walked step by step towards the Hei Ya war knife. His palm grasped the hilt of the knife, and the icy feeling wandered all over his body, as if it had awakened the dormant blood in his body to a boil!

  "Who are you? This is a martial arts tournament, no trouble allowed!" the judge shouted loudly.

  Tang Lin raised his head and looked at Shi Jian, saying in a low and hoarse voice: "I am the participant of Chunyang Wuguan, this round, I'll take it!"

  The judge was taken aback for a moment and turned his head towards Tang Tian.

  Tang Tian nodded at him from afar, his deep and powerful voice filled with pride, echoing throughout the venue: "He is my son, a disciple of the Martial Hall, and our third contestant!"

  Everyone felt relieved when they heard Tang Tian's words.

  Although the rules of the competition are strict, substitutes can be used. Although no one has thoroughly investigated and verified Tang Lin's identity, everyone knows that Tang Tian would not be foolish enough to lie, otherwise it would be equivalent to deceiving the imperial officials, which would result in imprisonment or even death!

  Moreover, looking at Tang Lin's facial features, they vaguely resembled those of Tang Tian, and everyone believed Tang Tian's words.

  "It's him!" The red snow in the VIP seat saw Tang Lin, her mind a little dazed. Although the Tang Lin in front of her felt somewhat unfamiliar and didn't quite match the elegant young man in her memory, those bright eyes and the cold arrogance between his eyebrows were exactly the same.

  "Hong Cheng said he went to the Misty Swamp for training, and judging from his appearance, he should have gained a lot. Unfortunately, he encountered Shi Jian who had reached 'Heavenly Unity', otherwise, it's still possible for the Pure Yang Martial Hall to advance to the top eight." Hong Xue secretly felt regretful in her heart, she had always looked highly upon Tang Lin's future and knew that he would definitely achieve something great someday.

  The castle owner looked at Tang Lin, his expression surprised, and said: "This young man's movement just now is probably the strength of a high-level martial artist. Tsk tsk, another high-level martial artist who is so young, looking at his age, he should only be fifteen or sixteen years old?"

  "In a few more years, this child may become another Shi Jian or Xie Jianfeng!" The black-clad middle-aged man beside him said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Tang Lin on the stage, a flash of cold light flickering across his face.

  On the remaining waiting seats, people from various martial arts schools were shocked and amazed. They did not expect that Chunyang Martial Arts School, which was eliminated in the previous tournament, would produce two high-level martial artists this time. Especially Tang Long, who was already a high-level martial artist with extremely impressive strength, could easily defeat ordinary high-level martial artists. With the emergence of Tang Lin now, it would be easy for them to secure a spot in the top eight.

  "This Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall is really not simple."

  "It's a good thing our martial arts school didn't run into them, this Pure Yang Martial Arts School is unlucky, they ran into the Listening Rain Pavilion, especially since there's that monster Shi Jian in the Listening Rain Pavilion."

  "What bad luck! What a pity."

  Many members of the martial arts hall felt regretful, and some were gloating over the misfortune.

  He is the third young master.

  "I heard that Third Young Master has become a martial artist, I wonder if he can defeat Shi Jian?"

  All the students of Chunyang Wuguan came to the audience seats, and when they saw Tang Long being beaten up earlier, they were worried. Now seeing Tang Lin, their eyes lit up one by one.

  On the martial stage.

  The judge looked at Tang Lin and Shi Jian, shouting: "Martial arts competition, start!"

  Shi Jian's face was cold and stern, as if he were a god who held the power of life and death, gazing condescendingly at Tang Lin as he walked step by step towards him.

  Tang Lin's gaze was fixed on his feet.

  "Just now, it was this foot!" Tang Lin's gaze was like looking at a dead object, without any emotion or vitality.

  Whoosh!

  His body flashed, like a purple lightning bolt.

  Shi Jian's eyes flashed and he quickly turned around to kick with one foot, executing the very same "Great Power Vajra Leg" that the beautiful woman had used earlier.

  This powerful Diamond Leg was executed by him, and the air seemed to be cut by a knife, making a whizzing cracking sound, ten times stronger than that beautiful woman!

  Tang Lin's body appeared behind him, although he knew the other was in the "Unity of Heaven and Man" realm, but didn't expect such a quick reaction. He didn't retreat, his palm stretched out like a dragon claw, aiming at the ankle.

  Boom!

  My wrist is numb from the shock.

  Tang Lin quickly withdrew his palm and looked at Shi Jian, who had retreated with a flourish. He hadn't expected that the other party's strength would be as heavy as a thousand catties.

  Shi Jian looked at Tang Lin's wrist, somewhat surprised. In his impression, anyone who received a kick from him would either have their bones shattered or be left crippled, yet Tang Lin seemed to be unscathed.

  "It's somewhat interesting." Shi Jian's mouth curled up with a cold, cruel arc. "Before meeting Xie Jianfeng, I'll use you to warm up!"

  Whoosh!

  His movements were as light and agile as a cloud, charging towards Tang Lin with a swift motion, but his footwork was off by a fraction of an inch, reappearing behind Tang Lin's back, swinging his arm like a whip.

  Tang Lin's back was hit, and his body leaned forward.

  Shi Jian was surprised and immediately smiled, "The resistance is not bad, and there's no fracture." As he spoke, his palm flashed out like lightning, striking Tang Lin's shoulder blade.

  Tang Lin's shoulder relaxed, and he diverted his strength away.

  "Dapeng Shen Fa." Shi Jian's body flashed by quickly, and in an instant, three Shi Jians seemed to appear, rotating around Tang Lin.

  Wow!

  The whole field was in an uproar, and this miraculous scene made the eyes of all the martially-inclined young men shine brightly.

  "It's indeed the realm of unity between heaven and man, to be able to exhibit such lightness and agility in one's movements. It's simply transcendent, I have no idea what kind of unimaginable martial arts state lies beyond this, where one transcends the ordinary and enters the realm of the saints." Tang Tian exclaimed.

  Tang Tian half-reclined in his seat, anxiously saying: "Will Xiao Shu not lose? He doesn't have a strong lightness skill, this won't do!"

  Tang Tian smiled slightly and said, "Originally I still had some worries, but now, I'm not worried at all. You didn't see that your younger brother hasn't even used the 'Kang Long Fist', which means he's holding back his strength. Moreover, the speed of his movements is only at a high-level martial artist level, and he hasn't even displayed the power of a true warrior, let alone use internal energy!"

  Moreover, to exert the lightness skill to such a realm is too exhausting, but your younger brother just stood there moving left and right. As time passes, Shi Jian will surely lose! I think Lin Er should be wanting to experience the unity of heaven and man realm.

  Tang Long was taken aback.

  Although his strength was comparable to his father's, his experience and vision were worlds apart. At this moment, looking back, he found that it was indeed the case.

  On the martial stage.

  Tang Lin waved his hand, and with a light touch, he caught the incoming punch from Shi Jian. With a slight push of his arm, a counter-shock force sent Shi Jian flying backward.

  "The warm-up is over." Tang Lin moved his neck bones, tilted his head towards Shi Jian, his eyes devoid of any emotion, staring at that leg of his.

  Whoosh!

  A purple light flashed, and Tang Lin's body suddenly appeared in front of Shi Jian, their faces almost touching each other.

  Shi Jian was shocked in his heart, his body quickly retreated backwards, and he also threw a punch at Tang Lin.

  Wow!

  Tang Lin's palm met the stone sword's fist, as if grasping a steamed bun, causing the stone sword's fist to crackle with a crunching sound, its bones seemingly about to be crushed.

  "What!" Shi Jian's eyes revealed shock, his fist seemed to be embedded in Tang Lin's palm, no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't move.

  "What incredible power!" Shi Jian couldn't believe it, but with his rich combat experience, he quickly swung his other fist and smashed it towards Tang Lin's face.

  Wow!

  Tang Lin grabbed his fist again with a light grasp.

  Ah!

  Shi Jian's fist was clenched so tightly it crackled with a sound that made one's gums ache.

  "Not long ago." Tang Lin looked at Shi Jian, who was covered in cold sweat, and smiled slightly, saying: "Someone from the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy touched my grandfather's black-toothed battle knife that he left behind, and then I chopped off one of his hands!"

  "Your leg, just stepped on my brother, so..." Tang Lin lowered his head to look at his leg, the corner of his mouth slowly curved into a devilish and cruel arc, and he kicked out with lightning speed.

  Crack!

  The right knee of Shi Jian's leg was kicked in a bizarre and frightening angle, bending backwards.

  "Ah!" Shi Jian's mouth let out a pained howl, and although he gritted his teeth and bit down on his lip with all his might, the pain still brought tears to his eyes.

  Wow!

  The entire audience was in an uproar, with everyone's eyes bulging out in incredulity as they stared at the scene unfolding before them. Shi Jian, who had been dominating Tang Lin and beating him like a sandbag just moments before, suddenly found himself turned around and crippled, his leg rendered useless!

  "What!" The owner of Tingyu Pavilion suddenly stood up and stared at the stage in shock and anger.

  "How is it possible!"

  Ling Feng and the beautiful woman stared with wide eyes, their faces full of shock. Everything had happened too quickly, they hadn't even seen clearly before Tang Lin subdued Shi Jian's hands and crippled one of his legs.

  ……

  Delayed for more than an hour, sorry! Wrote it a bit seriously, so it's slower. This is the first update, roar!
