Chapter 1434: The Wang Family Ancestor’s Blade Technique

Chapter 1434: Chapter 1434: The Wang Family Ancestor’s Blade Technique

Lin Tian gazed at Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang was also looking at him. The two stood face to face, seemingly emanating a formidable aura that suppressed everyone around them, silencing even the children.

Lin Tian was stunned. Did he hear correctly? This old man just said ’please’ to him?

Mr. Wang’s hand continued to gesture toward the interior of the Wang Family’s ancestral home. He repeated to Lin Tian: "Mr. Lin, please!"

Now Lin Tian could be sure that there was nothing wrong with his hearing. Immediately, he began to suspect.

It’s said, ’An old man is cunning, a old horse sly,’ this old fellow suddenly assumes this posture, could it be some trick?

Lin Tian still hadn’t reacted. Standing beside him, Wang Zheng’s expression changed dramatically. He hurriedly walked up to Mr. Wang, his face pale with urgency, and said, "Ancestor, you can’t let this kid go in. He and our family..."

Halfway through the sentence, Mr. Wang glared at him fiercely, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words along with a stomach full of anger.

"Today is a joyous day for the Wang Family. Anyone who comes to congratulate is a distinguished guest of our family. Mr. Lin holds an esteemed position and should be treated with respect. Your actions are truly inappropriate, Wang Zheng, quickly apologize to Mr. Lin!"

Wang Manzi addressed Wang Zheng. This small old man is also over a hundred years old, a genuine Golden Core expert. During the time at the True Martial Hall, he had his arm severed by Lin Tian while performing the Barbaric Bone Nine Transformations; they were sworn enemies. Yet now he’s having a younger family member apologize to Lin Tian, which is indeed strange.

"Ancestor... I..." Wang Zheng’s eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing, this isn’t a joke, right?

"Apologize!" Wang Manzi said loudly and forcefully, repeating once more.

"Yes!" Wang Zheng, reluctantly, stood before Lin Tian, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Lin, I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. I beg your forgiveness for my rudeness. Please!"

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "No need, it’s just a misunderstanding. But your apology seems lacking in sincerity, shouldn’t you bow?"

Mr. Wang’s expression remained unchanged, as he called out, "Zheng’er, bow."

Wow~

The whole audience was astounded. This spectacle truly was something worth seeing today. This is the direct descendant of an ancient martial arts family, offering a fist-clasped apology to an outsider was not enough, but now he had to bow?

Some thought Lin Tian was really pushing it, causing the Wang Family such embarrassment, surely he would face dire consequences later!

Wang Zheng also felt his cheeks flush. The earlier apology had already been pushing his limits. When had Wang Zheng ever lowered himself so much in front of so many people, in front of a junior?

Today’s events were truly bizarre. He glanced at Mr. Wang and Wang Manzi’s facial expressions, had to grit his teeth and stood straight.

As he was about to bow, Lin Tian stopped him, chuckling, "Just joking, really, if you actually bow, I’d be too embarrassed to say I’ve come to the wedding feast. Haha."

"..." Wang Zheng only felt this kid was triumphantly petty. Even persuading no need to bow, made Wang Zheng happier than ever.

Lin Tian, however, regarded Wang Zheng as quite a character. Able to both yield and advance, such temperament was indeed extraordinary.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, please come inside. The old man will lead you to your seat." Mr. Wang said with a smile.

His words stunned the crowd once again.

To be personally welcomed by the Wang Family’s ancestor, apart from family elders, Lin Tian was the first. Such honor provoked envy among many.

Then, curiosity grew within everyone. Who was this ’Mr. Lin’ exactly, they hadn’t heard of him before?

Lin Tian remained unaware. He thought such treatment was natural, not truly because of his elder status, which to Mr. Wang might just be nothing.

Unexpected events often have hidden motives. This old fellow was cunning, surely harboring some ulterior plan.

Nonetheless, Lin Tian feared not, simply smiled and agreed, following Liou Zhengming and Yan Xinrou inside.

As Mr. Wang led the way ahead, he spoke, "This residence was left by our ancestors, roughly three hundred years ago. It’s cool in summer and warm in winter. The banquet is set in the main hall, follow me, everyone."

Following Mr. Wang, Lin Tian observed the Wang Family’s ancestral home, a structure with ancient palace style, red walls and yellow tiles, the walls decorated with auspicious motifs carved by skilled craftsmen.

Further inside, came an extremely spacious area, the ground laid with stone bricks. Marked everywhere were traces from blades, spears, swords, and halberds, with the longest and deepest scar being thirty meters long.

Lin Tian specially examined this nearly thirty-meter-long crack, determining it had been cut with a blade, in one swift motion. Upon close inspection, faint blue glimmers could be seen within, strikingly beautiful.

It’s certain that this open area is where the Wang Family practiced martial arts. In the corners stood plum blossom posts and weapon racks. Thus the stone bricks of the ground must be specially crafted, extraordinarily tough.

Lin Tian questioned himself, even wielding the Thousand Jin Rock with full force, it’s uncertain he could carve a thirty-meter crack on that ground.

Noticing Lin Tian’s observation of the crack, Wang Manzi paused alongside him. He spoke in a muffled voice, "This crack, made by an ancestor of the Wang Family four hundred years ago, wielding the Thousand Jin Rock while developing a knife technique. Mr. Lin, guess the ancestor’s strength at that time."

Lin Tian stopped and observed for about ten seconds before saying, "At least the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir."

Wang Manzi chuckled, shaking his head, "Wrong guess. At the time, my ancestor had just opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. That knife technique was gained from insight into the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, achieving mastery, his skill was merely high-level Martial Artist."

Lin Tian widened his eyes in disbelief. He mentioned the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir as an understatement, he didn’t expect the Wang Family’s ancestor hadn’t even formed a Golden Core.

Knife technique deduced from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?

This reminded Lin Tian of the "Tangxi Meridian," but that’s merely an inner strength cultivation technique, nothing really related to knives.

Suddenly, Lin Tian’s heart jumped. Could it be, the knife technique didn’t come from any Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but the array within the Thousand Jin Rock?

Once this idea emerged, Lin Tian felt exceptionally confident in it!

Seeing Lin Tian’s expression, Wang Manzi, with some pride, asked, "Mr. Lin, finding it hard to believe?"

Lin Tian then regained his composure, nodded and said, "It’s hard to believe."

"The Twelve Great Families understand that our Wang Family is known for strong bursts of power. But truthfully speaking, our Wang family descendants are indeed ashamed before the ancestors, merely achieving half the explosive strength of the forefathers."

Despite his words, Lin Tian could discern the pride on Wang Manzi’s face. This fellow lowered himself, actually boasting about his Wang Family.
