Chapter 1082: Battle Against the Demon Puppet
"Wu'er!"
Lin Shanhai caught Lin Wu with one grasp, staring at Lin Wu, who had a bloody hole on his forehead, and shouted with a face full of grief and indignation.
"Don't worry, he won't die yet, but his soul origin has been injured. I'm afraid he won't live long either."
Xu Nian looked at Lin Shanhai's grief-stricken face and smiled as he spoke.
In fact, he had the ability to kill with that strike just now, but he didn't deliver a fatal blow.
Hasn't Lin Wu always been so arrogant?
He wanted him to personally experience the despair when all his pride was shattered.
At this moment, Lin Wu's head was in a daze, slowly regaining clarity from his confusion.
However, the severe pain in his head had already stripped him of his fighting spirit.
If he forced himself to fight again, his soul would directly shatter and perish.
At this moment, he looked at Xu Nian in the distance, his eyes filled with intense shock and unwillingness.
Just now, this guy didn't use any formation at all, yet he was able to dodge his attack.
Not only that, he could heavily injure him with just one finger. This kind of power was absolutely not something a Peak of Tribulation Crossing could possess.
"You were hiding your strength?" Lin Wu glared at Xu Nian with blood at the corner of his mouth, his face looking extremely ferocious.
"Hiding strength? It seems not. My own realm is indeed the Peak of Tribulation Crossing, it's just that you've always thought my combat power was just that." Xu Nian said with a cold smile.
He didn't deliberately conceal it; it was just that these people judged his power by ordinary standards.
That's why Lin Wu was defeated so miserably.
If he had considered Xu Nian as a Peak of Middle Stage Earth Immortal from the beginning, perhaps he wouldn't have been defeated so easily.
"Hmph, you self-righteous guy, you always thought you were above everyone, looking down on us, right? Now you should understand who the real ants are." Shi Guangxu snorted coldly, feeling quite satisfied seeing Lin Wu's failure.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu's face turned red with rage, his eyes filled with intense anger.
At this moment, Lin Shanhai's expression darkened significantly, turning to Xu Nian and asking, "You must not be someone from Tiande Sect, right? Our Mountain Sea Sect has no grievances with you, so why are you targeting us?"
Lin Shanhai was extremely familiar with Tiande Sect's information, and if such a genius existed within Tiande Sect, he couldn't possibly be unaware.
Yet Xu Ping appeared out of nowhere, clearly not a person from Tiande Sect.
"I am indeed not from Tiande Sect, but saying there's no grievance is wrong. Your son previously wanted to use Demon Transformation Powder to harm me. Did he ever consider that we had no grievances before?" Xu Nian replied with a cold laugh.
The father and son of the Lin family were truly hypocritical, obviously dirty and despicable themselves, yet they insisted on constraining others with nobility.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Shanhai furrowed his brows again.
He knew something about his son's actions and indeed tacitly approved of them.
However, he never expected to provoke such a difficult guy.
"As for you, I indeed have no personal enmity with you. But my brother has a grudge. Do you remember the Shi Family?" Xu Nian pointed at Shi Guangxu beside him.
"Shi Family?" Lin Shanhai was taken aback, turning his head to look at Shi Guangxu.
Shi Guangxu's eyes instantly became blood-red, like a viper staring at Lin Shanhai, speaking with a voice filled with killing intent: "Years ago, to take my mother, you broke into my Shi Family and killed over a hundred people, including my parents. Lin Shanhai, do you remember this grudge?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shanhai displayed a look of surprise.
Of course, he remembered this matter. Back then, he indeed wiped out the whole family to gain a woman, and ultimately, that woman chose to commit suicide.
This incident also led to decades of enmity between him and Tiande Sect Master Liu Bai Ru.
However, he never expected that the couple had left behind a son.
"So it was you, the bastard. I didn't expect you'd still be alive. What, do you want to take revenge on me?" Lin Shanhai sneered.
Since things had come to this, he knew there was no way to resolve it peacefully.
The only way now was to kill these three people in front of him. Only then could this enmity end.
"I can't kill you, but I have my brother Xu Nian, who will defeat you for me. Then I will take care of you myself." Shi Guangxu clenched his fists, saying with extreme reluctance.
"Him?" Lin Shanhai's smile grew wider.
These two young boys truly thought Lin Shanhai was a pushover.
Two at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage dare to clamor at him. Even if this Xu Nian guy has strength comparable to the Peak of Middle Stage Earth Immortal, so what?
As the sect leader, Lin Shanhai's foundation far surpassed that of an ordinary Peak of Middle Stage Earth Immortal powerhouse. Moreover, he also had a magical puppet comparable to a Late Stage Earth Immortal.
"Since you seek death, don't blame me! Magical puppet, kill them for me." Lin Shanhai waved his hand, and a white-haired puppet appeared in Xu Nian's field of vision with the others.
"Roar!"
As soon as the magical puppet appeared, it let out a roar, then immediately locked its gaze onto Xu Nian, rushing towards them at great speed.
"You guys step aside first!" Xu Nian immediately ordered Shi Guangxu and Mei Ji.
"Be careful!" Mei Ji and Shi Guangxu instructed and then withdrew to a distance.
Xu Nian stared at the magical puppet charging at him, without the slightest intention of dodging.
"Courting death!" Lin Shanhai sneered as he saw Xu Nian choosing to confront the magical puppet head-on.
Before being forged, this magical puppet was an immortal body, and its hardness after forging surpassed the strength of a top-grade spiritual artifact, only slightly inferior to an immortal artifact. Most importantly, it felt no pain.
To engage in such close combat with this kind of killing machine was simply asking for death.
"Die!" Lin Wu thought viciously in his mind, as if already seeing the scene of Xu Nian being torn apart by the magical puppet.
However, the unexpected happened. Not only was Xu Nian not torn apart by the magical puppet, but he also fought back, and it seemed they were evenly matched.
"Boom boom boom!"
Continuous roaring sounds came forth, like rolling thunder.
"How... how is this possible?" Both Lin Wu and Lin Shanhai were stunned, extreme shock etched on their faces.
They simply couldn't believe this guy could fight the magical puppet hand-to-hand and not be at a disadvantage.
In reality, they had no idea that Xu Nian's true form was the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, and the hardness of his flesh had reached the level of a top-grade spiritual artifact.
Even if it was slightly inferior to the magical puppet, the gap wasn't too large.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian collided once again with the magical puppet's punch.
Xu Nian was blasted away, his figure flying a thousand feet.
Nonetheless, the magical puppet was also forced back, retreating three hundred feet, but clearly failing to truly overpower Xu Nian.
"This guy's flesh is surprisingly strong. Once I've killed him, I must forge him into a magical puppet," Lin Shanhai's sharp eyes said.
Lin Wu's eyes were filled with intense jealousy and unwillingness.
It turned out that this guy hadn't even used his full strength when he clashed with him earlier.
This dealt another severe blow to his pride.
