Chapter 2289: Chapter 2286: What Qualifications Are You Talking About

"Three experts above the Innate realm, you really look highly upon a young man like me." Lin Tian twirled the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, his tone calm, yet the content shocked the others.

Three people above the Innate realm, even in the Ancient Hidden Stream, were a formidable force, and in the Ancient Martial World, they were simply invincible.

Now, these three powerful beings were ganging up on Lin Tian alone, a young man not yet twenty years old.

"Cultivation is not easy for a young man, hand over the Shennong Ding, to avoid cutting off your path to cultivation." The old man said in a deep voice.

"Heh... you talk too much!" Lin Tian sneered, his figure suddenly moved, appearing in front of the old man, reaching him even before the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, straight at the throat of the masked old man.

Lin Tian’s proactive attack seemed to take the old man by surprise, his eyebrows twitched, however, it didn’t affect his reaction. The old man lightly tapped the ground, retreating over ten meters in a flash, swiftly escaping from the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

Simultaneously, two sharp swords appeared behind Lin Tian, one piercing at his back, the other slashing at his arm, both targeting the Shennong Ding.

These three experts above the Innate realm utterly disregarded the Ancient Martial World’s code of righteousness and morality, anything about bullying the small with the big, or the few with the many, didn’t exist in their eyes.

They attacked en masse right from the start, even more directly than Tang Xuan Su’s ambush in the past.

Lin Tian swung his sword in a sweeping motion, with a loud bang, purple flames ignited, clashing with the opponent’s Sword Qi, causing a violent explosion, yet the opponent’s True Qi managed to withstand the burn of the purple flames.

The two masked men did not retreat but advanced instead, exerting force at the same time, intending to sever Lin Tian’s Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

Lin Tian felt a tremendous force rushing upon him, more intense than Shen Lin’s strike, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword shrieked with a piercing sound, sparks flying all over.

"Incredible..." the Sword Spirit exclaimed in amazement, being the sword’s spirit in the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, it was even more aware of the sword’s current pressure than Lin Tian.

"Damn you..." Lin Tian was unsure whether he was cursing the Sword Spirit or the masked men.

Yet he refused to be outdone, a new force surged from his new meridians, the energy of thunder and lightning, his arm immediately entwined with lightning, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword flickering with electric light, accompanied by the low rumble of thunder.

Boom, like thunder on a clear day, the masked men were blasted away, the residual waves of electricity numbing their limbs.

This all happened in a breath’s time, Lin Tian knocked back the two, just about to seize the opportunity to press the advantage, when a Sword Qi attack came from behind.

Lin Tian turned and stabbed, the sword tips collided, with a boom, the energy erupted, sinking the ground half a meter, both individuals soaring into the air.

As soon as they landed, the three on the opposite side had already regrouped, the three swords overlapped, True Energy connected, attacking Lin Tian in unison.

Bam, Lin Tian placed the Shennong Ding on the ground, gripping the sword with both hands, his feet in a horse stance, raising the Heavenly Tribulation Sword high.

"Mo Blade Slash!"

Lin Tian wielded the Heavenly Tribulation Sword as if it were a Mo Blade, executing a deadly battlefield move, the Mo Blade Technique, purple sword shadows tracing long arcs, like a galaxy overturned, slashing toward the masked men.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions resounded, accompanied by thunderous sounds, where energy waves swept through, the stone crumbled to dust, everyone was frightened, retreating rapidly.

Lin Tian stood firm, while the three masked men retreated a step, repelled by the final flash of lightning, their hands and feet tingling with numbness, deeply shocked.

Before this, Lin Tian had barely withstood a move from Shen Lin, but now, after tempering with thunder, strengthened by the Shennong Ding, his zombie physique had become several times more robust.

Faced with three Shen Lin-level masked men, Lin Tian fought fiercely without retreat!

"His internal power is very unusual, don’t drag it out, finish it quickly." The masked old man said hastily.

The other two nodded, clasped their hands together, pointing their swords at Lin Tian, then released them. Mysteriously, the three swords hovered in mid-air; Sword Control Technique, a skill even Tang Xuan Su mastered, how could experts above Innate realm not?

The three clasped their hands again, the three swords converging into one massive sword, floating magnificently, radiating brilliance.

"Heaven’s Punishment!" the old man quietly uttered, the massive sword shot out, reaching Lin Tian’s presence in an instant.

"Damn it! Endless!" Lin Tian fumed, grabbing the Shennong Ding, swinging it down.

With no technique involved, just smashing with the cauldron—a clang, metal clashing, everyone’s eyes widened, fearing Lin Tian might accidentally shatter the Shennong Ding.

After all, it’s meant for alchemy, not combat; who knew if it could withstand the combined strike of three great experts, the pupils of the three masked men contracted.

Upon collision, the massive sword instantly shattered, metal fragments shooting out at high speeds, more powerful than bullets. Although everyone had stood far enough back, they were still impacted by the shards.

Yan Lingling jumped forward, pushing with both hands, a circle of purple flames appeared, swiftly blocking the shards.

This was her first action, seeing her wield the purple flames startled the few Misses, for previously, it had been Lin Tian’s signature.

For a moment, they even wondered if Lin Tian was actually a long-lost child of the Medicine King Mansion. However, they noticed a difference the next second, Lin Tian’s purple flames carried a sense of destruction, which Yan Lingling’s did not.

Lin Tian cared little for what they thought, again wielding the Shennong Ding as a weapon, using it without pattern or formula, just smashing.

The three masked men attacked simultaneously, hoping to seize the Shennong Ding by chance, but they underestimated its power. As their hands touched it, fierce force threw them off balance.

Lin Tian pressed the advantage, in relentless pursuit with the Shennong Ding, forcing the three into constant retreat, unable to shake the Shennong Ding. One middle-aged man, caught unguarded, was struck by Lin Tian, crashing to the ground with a thud.

The other two tried to rescue, but Lin Tian swung the Shennong Ding again, forcing them back, simultaneously extending the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, placing it at the middle-aged man’s throat.

The three masked men immediately ceased their actions, the old man sternly said, "Young man, it’s not too late to repent, hand over the Shennong Ding, and let him go."

"Heh heh..." Lin Tian laughed, feeling the three had gone insane: "Are you guys out of your minds? He’s in my hands, yet you want me to hand over the Shennong Ding."

"You are unworthy of possessing the Shennong Ding..." the masked old man tried to lecture Lin Tian with a tone like Shen Lin’s.

"Pssht!" Lin Tian rudely spat, coldly interrupting him, "I braved the thunder tribulation, achieving the Shennong Ding, risking my life nine times over, where were you guys hiding waiting to steal the spoils of war? Now, you don’t even dare to show your faces, yet you talk nonsense about qualifications."

"Today, I’ll show you what it means to pay the price for trying to reap where you haven’t sown!" The more Lin Tian spoke, the more furious he became, deeply frustrated by those who thought themselves superior, pointing fingers.

He stomped down heavily, directly on the masked man’s arm. With a crack, bones shattered; no one expected him to make a move.
