Lin Tian kicked the gate open, guided himself by the sound and rushed to the rear of the house, only to see the two domestic servants of Mo Sen, Mazi and Liu Er, were tearing at a little girl’s clothes. The little girl was crying, and more than half of her clothes were torn apart. She was half-naked, and much of her skin was exposed to the air, her face was written with fear.
“F*ck your sh*t!”
Lin Tian could only feel a surge of anger inside him, and even forgot the pain all over his body. He swung the iron sword at Liu Er, who was closer to him.
The two of them were startled at the sight of Lin Tian rushing towards them.
“Bastard, you’re not dead yet!”
“How dare you come back after a narrow escape! Well, let Daddy Liu send you straight to hell!”
Fleering, Liu Er threw a punch at Lin Tian.
As the domestic servant of Mo Sen, Liu Er hadn’t practiced martial arts before, but he was good at fighting, so he just thumbed his nose at Lin Tian. The moment his fist hit against the sword, a powerful flow of strength came through the sword and blew him off.
“Well, I didn’t see that you bastard actually got something.” Mazi stared at Lin Tian and gave a contemptuous snort, “But that’s all you’ve got. Let me teach you a lesson before you die.”
Mazi’s right leg took one small step back and he adopted a pose of throwing a punch. Suddenly, Mazi’s temperament changed and he seemed to have become a fierce tiger.
“Bro Mazi is already on the threshold of martial cultivation, and one punch is enough to fix a tramp like you,” Liu Er gave a sly grin and said, “Bastard, enjoy your last moment of life!”
Mazi enjoyed Liu Er’s compliment to him. He nodded smugly, gave a shout and flung out his palm. With that, the wind brought by the blow poured on Lin Tian. “It’s a great achievement to kill you! Die!”
“You f*cking slave!”
Lin Tian was long seized with rage. Watching Lin Xi being in rags and thinking of the fact that he had been taken good care of by this little girl these days, he felt that anger was simmering inside him. Holding the sword with both hands, Lin Tian flew at Mazi with a mad face.
While Lin Tian was swinging the iron sword, the purple bell attached to the handle was swinging too, but oddly, it made no sound!
Lin Tian had no time to get into this. At this moment, the only person he could see was Mazi, who was approaching him, while the only thing he was thinking about was to cut Mazi into pieces.
“Die now!”
As Lin Tian flung his hands downward with bloodshot eyes, the iron sword plunged.
“Pfft!”
Mazi let out a cry and looked glazed. He held the pose of throwing a punch, while his arm already flew up, drawing a dazzling line of blood in the air. With that, his whole body was split into halves from the shoulder. Blood splattering about, Mazi fell full length.
With just one slash, Mazi was actually cut into two halves!
“Ah!”
Liu Er screeched. Mazi, who was already on the threshold of martial cultivation, was actually killed by Lin Tian with one slash. Liu Er turned pale at the sight of this strange yet horrible scene. He dared stay no more, and ran away, staggering.
Liu Er’s screech shocked Lin Tian, waking him up all of a sudden.
“Bro... Brother...”
At this moment, there came a sobbing tone. Lin Xi, whose clothes were in disarray, looked scared.
With a start, Lin Tian wasn’t in the mood to care about Liu Er, who was running away, and trotted up to Lin Xi. He pulled a piece of cloth over Lin Xi and fumbled around for a moment. Lin Tian watched the trembling and terrified little girl, his stomach in knots. “I’m sorry Xi. I’m a useless brother. I didn’t keep you safe.”
During the dozen days after he had traveled to this universe, it was Lin Xi who had looked after him, done laundry for him and cooked for him. Lin Tian had long treated this little girl as his biological younger sister. Now he saw the little girl suffering like this, and how could he just feel good?
Lin Xi was only eight years old now, and what those two scums had done today must have left her a huge psychological shadow. Lin Tian felt as if his heart was nearly bursting. Even if he had killed Mazi, his eyes were still burning darkly.
Shivering, Lin Xi recovered from terror after a long while. She pulled at Lin Tian’s clothes and sobbed, “They said that you were dead, but I didn’t believe them. You wouldn’t leave me alone.”
Lin Tian felt heartbroken. He kept consoling Lin Xi until she calmed down and said, “Xi, come on. Leave this place with me.”
“Brother, why?”
Lin Xi sobbed.
Lin Tian forced a smile and answered, “Nothing. I’ll take you to see the stars.”
Naturally, Lin Tian wasn’t taking Lin Xi to see the stars. Now that Mazi was killed by him, while Liu Er ran away, Lin Tian believed that Liu Er would definitely tell Mo Sen and Xiao Yun that he was still alive, so he had to take Lin Xi away to lie low for a while.
“Well, OK.”
Lin Xi was such a sweet girl.
Lin Tian packed up some clothes and food in a hurry, scooped Lin Xi up and left from the back door with the pain. Before he could run far away, he heard some people burst into the mansion as expected and rummage around, as if they were looking for something. Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace.
After running for a while, Lin Tian saw a blaze lit up the dark night.
“Brother, fire! Our home is on fire!”
Lin Xi yelled.
Lin Tian looked back and saw the mansion was in burning flames, which appeared so glaring in the darkness. Faintly, he heard a harsh voice, “If you can’t find him, then burn this place! The Xiao Family has almost swallowed up the Lin Family anyway, and we don’t need this house. Burn it, and let those two bastards end up on the street!”
Trembling, Lin Tian clenched his teeth, and ran away with Lin Xi in his arms without looking back.
In the darkness, the fire got bigger and produced the crackling sound.
Lin Xi started to cry anxiously and struggled in Lin Tian’s arms, her little hands clawing in the air. Weeping, she was overwhelmed by grief. This mansion was the only thing left by their parents.
Lin Tian locked Lin Xi in his arms. He endured the pain and strode away.
There was a mountain out of Fengjian City called Qing Mountain. It was not until Lin Tian escaped to the mountain that he stopped.
Lin Xi was lying on his chest. Scared and then overly grieved, she had already passed out. While in a coma, her little body was still shivering, as if she was having a nightmare. Lin Tian was heartbroken at the sight of her.
Lin Tian looked up and stared at the raging flames in the darkness, his fists clenched.
They had gone too far!
The air in the mountain was humid. Lin Tian didn’t dare to make a fire. He was afraid that they would be discovered by the Xiao Family and the Mo Family. He leaned against a thick trunk with Lin Xi in his arms and stared at the raging flames in the darkness afar with forbidding eyes.Lin Tian felt pain all over, and drowsiness fell upon him at the same time. Before long, he fell asleep.Leaning against the thick trunk, Lin Tian had a dream. In the dream, he was standing on the vast heaven. He looked out and saw nine obscure figures in front of him, among whom hung a long sword, sparkling.Suddenly, the nine figures started to move, and reached out to the long sword in the middle at the same time.Lin Tian widened his eyes. At this moment, the nine people were fighting against each other. Lin Tian saw the sky collapsing and the ground sinking. Meanwhile, lightning was flashing and thunder was rumbling, while rays of divine light wer
During martial cultivation, Body Cultivation Stage was the fundamental stage, which mainly aimed at the refinement of blood and flesh, and the exercise of meridians and bones. Even if without the exercise method of cultivation, ordinary people could also do self-cultivation. However, common people could only attain the fifth layer of body cultivation without it. And it was almost impossible for them to move forward after this.Just because of this, the exercise method of cultivation was so precious.Lin Tian calmed down and started to learn Siji Scriptures. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Generally speaking, cultivators using ordinary exercise method could only attain the ninth layer of body cultivation, but Siji Scriptures allowed its cultivators to keep on cultivating and strengthening their physique constantly without ending at all. It was just a top-level body cultivation method.Lin Tian even believed that no other body culti
Day broke. If standing on the mountain, one could see clearly the burned-out Lin Family’s Mansion in Fengjian City. Lin Xi had already woken up. She was looking in the direction of the mansion and sobbing, her tears streaming down.“Xi, don’t cry. Your brother is with you.”Lin Tian consoled her in a tender voice.Lin Xi wiped off the tears, gave a bright smile and said, “Well, as long as my brother is with me, I have nothing to fear.”A lump came into Lin Tian’s throat. How couldn’t he see that the little girl was forcing a smile? He was aware that Lin Xi just didn’t want him to worry about her.An eight-year-old girl was actually so considerate.“Xi, my good girl, I swear that I’ll definitely make them pay back double what they owe us.”He vowed.The sky was already bright. Lin Tian didn’t go back to Fengjian City, but stayed in Qing Mountain for the time being. In the next few
Lin Tian’s face darkened. He stared at the approaching Liu Er, coldness glinting in his eyes.He was thinking about where to find this running dog.“Brother.”Scared, Lin Xi hid herself behind Lin Tian, pulling at his clothes.Lin Tian turned around, squatted down and patted Lin Xi gently on her head. “Xi, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”He asked Lin Xi to stay put, and turned to Liu Er and his people. What Liu Er and Mazi had done to Lin Xi a few days ago was still vivid in Lin Tian’s mind, and he remembered it well. Now he was Lin Xi’s elder brother, while Lin Xi was his only family in this strange world, as well as his younger sister.Lin Tian would never forgive those who hurt his sister!Since Mazi was dead, this Liu Er had to pay for it too!Many people around noticed that something was going on here, and looked in their direction.“It’s him! He is the son of
Actually, Lin Tian really wanted to kill Liu Er, but today was the day of the entrance examination of Jiuyang Martial Institution. If he killed Liu Er here, he might be disqualified from the entrance examination. Therefore, he held himself back.People around were all dumbfounded and shocked.“This guy’s real!”Some said in a low voice.Many of the lookers-on had a weird look on their faces. They were the local young people of Fengjian City, so they knew “Lin Tian” quite well. In their mind, Lin Tian was always mild, or even weak, but now, it seemed that the Lin Tian they knew had changed totally, and the huge contrast surprised them.“Get out of my way!”A commotion was going on not far away.The crowd was pushed aside, and a man and woman walked up. The man was in purple, with a long sword hanging at his waist, and he looked handsome, while the woman was fair, with her hair han
The examination for Jiuyang Martial Institution was divided into three parts: talent, mental power and fighting skills.On this day, the theme of the first exam was: talent.For a martial artist, his talent was the most important thing, because it was the determining factor of his personal achievement in the future. And the so-called “talent”, to put it simply, was his ability to blend with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If he was not gifted enough, then he was unable to absorb the energy well for cultivation, and thus his future achievement wouldn’t be great.On the contrary, if the martial artist had the ability to blend well with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, then he could absorb enough energy for cultivation. In that case, not only would the cultivation speed be faster, but also his future martial achievement would be greater too. Just because of that, talent test was compulsory in the entry exam for Jiuyang Ma
Nine stars were shining!Nine-star talent!All people on the square in front of Jiuyang Martial Institution were stunned.“Are we dreaming?”Someone muttered. At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell upon Lin Tian. Such a delicate teenager actually possessed nine-star martial talent?After a while, the examiner yelled in surprise, “Great! Fantastic!”What did nine-star talent mean anyway?Since the establishment of Jiuyang Martial Institution, there had never been a disciple with such great talent. Even in the whole Beiyan Empire, martial artists with such talent hardly existed.Lin Tian turned to Mo Sen. “How about this, genius?”He stressed the word “genius”, not concealing his sarcasm at all.Mo Sen’s face darkened, as if he just stepped on dog poop.Xiao Yun was totally dumbfounded. Lin Tian actually had nine-star talent. Nine-star mar
A quarter passed very quickly. Lin Tian asked an elder he was familiar with in town to take care of Lin Xi for the time being, and went to the site for the second test with the other examinees under the examiner.The second test was about mental power!The road of martial cultivation was full of hardships. Talent was important, and so was mental power. If one only had great talent but no strong will, it was likely that he wouldn’t make any achievement in martial cultivation in the future. He would even be less accomplished than those without great talent.There were a lot of temptations in this world, such as power, wealth, beauties. To martial artists, any of them could be deadly. If one didn’t have a strong will, he could get lost and be demotivated.Therefore, talent was just a prerequisite.Without a strong will for martial cultivation, no matter how gifted a martial artist was, it was useless.
