Chapter 102: Battling the Peak of the Transformation Realm
"Oh, so the Lin clan really must be out of people if they're sending even their young ones to fight. Do they think this is child's play?" Ling Long sneered as he dismounted, his fierce aura filling the air as he turned his gaze to Lin Langtian.
"Young Master Lin Langtian!"
The surrounding Lin clan guards shouted urgently when they saw this. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry sub-commander, who had accompanied Lin Langtian along the way, quickly rushed forward with his troops to shield Lin Langtian.
"Elder, please leave! Ling Long's power is at the peak of the Transformation Realm; we can't hold him off for long!"
Seeing the Lin clan guards and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry risking their lives to protect him, Lin Langtian couldn't help but smile. However, he didn't retreat as advised; instead, he calmly stepped forward.
"Captain Lin Ying, take your men and deal with the rest of the Ling family's forces. Leave Ling Long to me."
Hearing this, Captain Lin Ying and the other guards were stunned, about to protest when they suddenly sensed a powerful surge of elemental energy emanating from Lin Langtian.
"Transformation Realm, mastery level!"
Sensing the immense energy, Lin Ying was shocked. As a sub-commander in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he was only at the minor mastery level of the Transformation Realm. Yet here was this young prodigy of the clan, who had surpassed him!
"Don't worry, I'm not throwing my life away…"
Lin Langtian gave a reassuring smile before stepping forward to face the towering Ling Long.
"A mastery-level Transformation Realm? I remember now; you must be Lin Langtian, the top talent of the Lin clan." Ling Long's initially calm face showed a flash of surprise. For someone so young to reach such a level—this Lin clan had truly produced a genius.
With such talent, Lin Langtian's abilities would be enough to rank him among the top young fighters even in the Great Qing Dynasty.
"Given this kid's talent, he'll likely reach the Transformation Realm's peak, or even approach the Nirvana Realm, during the upcoming Battle of the Hundred Dynasties. He might even join a super sect…" Ling Long's eyes flickered, and he felt a wave of killing intent rise within him.
Since the Ling family had already come to blows with the Lin clan, letting a future super-sect disciple emerge from the Lin clan would be a huge risk for the Ling family in the Great Qing Dynasty. Best to eliminate this threat early.
Ling Long's face darkened with murderous intent as he glared at Lin Langtian and sneered, "I only came here to reclaim my family's crystal mine, but since the Lin clan's top talent came forward to throw his life away, I'll happily oblige!"
"Bang!"
Before Ling Long's words had fully left his mouth, he launched himself forward. A massive surge of elemental power gathered in his palm, and he aimed a powerful strike at Lin Langtian.
"Hmph!"
Facing Ling Long's assault, Lin Langtian let out a cold snort. The elemental energy from his dantian surged swiftly, gathering in his palm to meet Ling Long's strike head-on without any tricks.
"Boom!"
As their palms collided, a terrifying wave of elemental energy rippled outward, cracking the earth for dozens of yards around.
"Step, step!"
In just an instant, the clash forced both of them back by half a step before they steadied themselves.
"This kid… is something else!"
That this young man, still at the Transformation Realm's mastery level, could stand toe-to-toe with him, a peak-level master, made Ling Long's expression darken. What's more, in that brief clash, he had felt a burning quality within the opponent's elemental energy—a heat that had begun to invade and scorch his meridians.
"The longer I wait, the riskier this gets. Better to kill him quickly!" Ling Long's eyes flashed coldly, and he rapidly formed a series of hand seals. A tremendous wave of elemental power burst from within him.
"Damn brat, let me show you the true power of a peak Transformation Realm fighter. Prepare to die!"
With his elemental power swelling, Ling Long roared, his confidence restored. His energy surged out, condensing into a massive, hundred-foot-wide elemental palm that slammed down on Lin Langtian from above.
This massive palm, formed by a peak-level Transformation Realm master at full strength, was formidable enough to shatter the very air as it approached.
Yet, as the giant elemental palm loomed overhead, Lin Langtian stood calmly under the astonished gazes around him, waiting until the palm was nearly upon him before launching a single punch.
There was no trace of elemental energy in Lin Langtian's punch—it appeared he intended to use sheer physical strength to counter the massive elemental strike.
Seeing this, the warriors of the Ling family sneered, while the members of the Lin clan felt their hearts jump into their throats.
But before the Ling family's sneers could spread, what happened next made their expressions freeze.
Because when Lin Langtian's fist collided with the elemental palm, it was not he who was destroyed. Instead, with a massive explosion, the peak-level elemental palm shattered, disintegrating into countless points of light.
Gasps filled the manor, even Ling Long's eyes flashed with disbelief.
With only physical strength, he had shattered Ling Long's full-power strike. The feat was terrifying.
As Ling Long stood in shock, his expression abruptly changed—an unstoppable force surged from the scattered light, hurling rubble into the air. In an instant, a figure cloaked in blue shot toward Ling Long like a cannonball.
Ling Long instinctively raised his fists to defend himself, but in his haste, he was no match for Lin Langtian's Black Flame Physique. As expected, Ling Long's defenses crumbled under the assault.
This clash brought the chaotic battlefield to a temporary halt, with even the four mastery-level Transformation Realm fighters on the courtyard wall pausing and turning their gazes.
"Thud!"
As their eyes focused on the cloud of dust, a figure was thrown out of the chaos, landing heavily on the ground and leaving a glaring streak of blood.
"Ugh!"
The figure spat out blood upon landing, drawing every gaze to him.
In that instant, a shocked silence fell over the battlefield as everyone realized, to their utter disbelief, that the one lying there wounded was not Lin Langtian but Ling Long—the "Dragon of the Ling Family!"
One of the most renowned peak-level Transformation Realm fighters in the Great Qing Dynasty had just been defeated by Lin Langtian!
