Chapter 28: The Power of Black Flame!
"Half-step Qi Condensation Realm!"
The crowd erupted in shocked murmurs as they sensed Lin Langtian's formidable energy. This level of power placed him among the top three young elites in the Great Yan Empire!
Not far away, Wang Yan's face showed astonishment. "How did Lin Langtian's strength grow so quickly? Did he use a rare ninth-tier elixir, like the Boundary-Breaking Flower?"
Qin Shi's expression also shifted, and he sighed. "No matter how he achieved it, it's clear that Brother Langtian has widened the gap between us once again."
In a nearby pavilion, Huangpu Jing's refined face revealed surprise. "He actually broke through to the half-step Qi Condensation Realm…" She whispered, "But even so, defeating Huang Yin might be beyond him."
Beside her, Ling Qingzhu said nothing, her pure gaze fixed on Lin Langtian, observing him intently.
In the square, Huang Yin's expression darkened as he sensed the powerful energy radiating from Lin Langtian. To reach such a level at his age suggested an extraordinary future—even if Lin Langtian didn't join a super sect, he was destined to become a powerful force within the empire. But this situation had reached a point of no return. Huang Yin's eyes narrowed with resolve; he had no choice but to fight with everything he had.
With a forceful stomp, Huang Yin sent his energy crashing into the ground, shaking the entire square. Suddenly, he struck downward, channeling a surge of Yuan energy that shattered the ground under Lin Langtian's feet. Spears of energy burst upward, aiming to strike Lin Langtian's legs.
But Lin Langtian was faster, disappearing like a blur and reappearing right in front of Huang Yin.
Fracturing Jade Claw!
Lin Langtian's hand morphed into a claw, glowing with a jade-like sheen that seemed as solid as crystal, emanating a chilling aura. Though Lin Langtian had yet to engage in much real combat, he had seamlessly inherited his original self's battle instincts and skills. Executing the Lin Clan's fifth-tier martial skill, Fracturing Jade Claw, came effortlessly, delivering devastating force.
Huang Yin sneered, "You may be a top young talent in the empire, but if you think you can defeat me, you're wildly overconfident!" He raised a massive arm, channeling abundant Yuan energy until it appeared rock-solid.
Clang!
The jade claw struck Huang Yin's raised arm, sending sparks flying. The clash echoed through the square, but Huang Yin's hand held firm, deflecting Lin Langtian's powerful attack.
"Back off!" Huang Yin's voice thundered as his hand transformed into a fist, gathering more energy with a forceful punch, sending waves of power crashing toward Lin Langtian.
Boom!
Lin Langtian deflected the blow, skimming backward and stabilizing himself in mid-air. Onlookers were astounded by the display, watching the exchange in awe—particularly at how Lin Langtian held his ground against a veteran like Huang Yin. It was a remarkable feat, bolstering the morale of his companions, including Lin Ke'er and Lin Chen, who watched with admiration.
Lin Langtian wasn't surprised at his success. Since linking with Ling Yi's bloodline, his Yuan energy had been refined by Black Flame; though the quantity hadn't increased, its quality had grown impressively. He could now stand toe-to-toe with an advanced Qi Condensation practitioner like Huang Yin.
"Enough! Stone Tiger Roar!"
Frustrated by their deadlock, Huang Yin's face turned crimson with anger. He launched a punch that released a violent, bellowing wave of energy in the shape of a massive yellow tiger, which hurtled straight at Lin Langtian.
Facing the formidable punch, Lin Langtian's gaze hardened, his fingers tightening into a claw as he unleashed Fracturing Jade Claw once again. The two forces collided in a surge of Yuan energy that shook the square.
Bam! Bam!
The energy-tiger shuddered under Lin Langtian's assault, but Huang Yin gave a cold chuckle and attacked again, finally forcing Lin Langtian back. As the clash dragged on, Huang Yin's advantage as a higher-level Qi Condensation expert began to show.
"Enough games!" Huang Yin barked, gathering his energy for a decisive blow. Just then, he noticed an icy glint in Lin Langtian's eyes, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart. Lin Langtian's claw attack hadn't yet fully released its power. Jade-colored energy crackled around his claw, radiating waves of overwhelming strength.
Boom!
The jade glow on Lin Langtian's Fracturing Jade Claw surged, creating a half-meter jade-colored wave. The surrounding Yuan energy trembled as the jade imprint solidified.
"Stone Wall Shield!"
Huang Yin shouted, crossing his arms as a thick yellow shield formed before him. It gleamed with an earthy resilience as if forged in the deepest depths of the earth, seemingly indestructible.
Without flinching, Lin Langtian thrust his glowing claw forward, ripping through the air before it struck Huang Yin's crossed arms.
Bang!
A tangible shockwave rippled out from the clash, and Lin Langtian's cold voice rang out across the square. "Get lost!"
The jade-colored wave intensified, detonating in a final explosion that sent Huang Yin skidding backward, his feet carving deep grooves in the ground as he struggled to stay upright.
The crowd erupted in gasps of disbelief, awestruck that Lin Langtian had turned the tables in an instant. Huang Yin stomped the ground, his fury boiling over as he weaved a complex series of hand signs. With each motion, Yuan energy gathered into the form of a massive, golden tiger towering overhead.
"Golden Battle Tiger!" The crowd murmured in astonishment. "Huang Yin is using his signature martial art! Can Lin Langtian withstand this?"
In response, Lin Langtian's eyes glowed with a menacing black flame. Waves of unnatural heat pulsed from his body, filling the square with an oppressive energy.
As the flames from deep within his pupils began to manifest, those around him sensed an eerie, searing energy radiating from Lin Langtian. His eyes grew darker, with tendrils of black flame wrapping around him, while a concentrated energy surged around his body.
In the crowded square, countless gazes locked onto Lin Langtian, all sensing the drastic, menacing surge in his Yuan energy.
"Why is Lin Langtian's Yuan power suddenly so intense and terrifying?" Huangpu Jing muttered in shock from a distant pavilion. Next to her, Ling Qingzhu's eyes stayed fixed on Lin Langtian, surprise flickering in her usually serene gaze. While others might not detect it, she could sense the dominant aura radiating from the eerie black Yuan energy around him—an energy laced with a fearful, unsettling power.
"It's the Black Flame," Ling Qingzhu murmured, a rare look of shock on her face. She had sensed this terrifying Black Flame energy the first time she encountered Lin Langtian, and the strength of it had been so immense that she'd questioned her own perception.
Although the Black Flame that Lin Langtian was currently wielding wasn't nearly as overwhelming as before, there was no mistaking it—this strange, potent force was real. Even as the young successor of the Nine Heavens Pure Palace, this discovery left Ling Qingzhu deep in thought.
Beside her, Huangpu Jing noticed Ling Qingzhu's unusual expression and was taken aback. Never in her time knowing Ling Qingzhu had she seen her react this way. This scene seemed surreal, as if unfolding from a dream. And the cause was clearly connected to Lin Langtian.
In the square, Huang Yin also sensed the powerful, unusual energy flowing from Lin Langtian. His eyes narrowed as he sneered.
"Let's see how the so-called top genius of the Lin Clan looks after I defeat him!" Huang Yin roared, clenching his fists as waves of dense Yuan power poured into the giant golden tiger above him.
The massive tiger, with a low, angry growl, stomped the ground, sending out pulses of oppressive energy that made the very ground tremble. It leaped into the sky, emanating a fierce wave of power that made the onlookers tense up.
"Golden Battle Tiger!" Huang Yin's voice echoed as the colossal golden tiger let out a fearsome roar. Its razor-sharp, rock-like fangs gleamed menacingly, and its enormous claws sliced through the air, poised to tear down anything in its path.
Lin Langtian's palm glowed with black energy as a massive black monolith surged forth, encased in blazing black flames. This wave of destructive energy spread outward.
"Shattering Devil Monument Palm!" Lin Langtian's cold gaze sharpened as he summoned a pair of giant black flame monoliths above him. This Shattering Devil Monument Palm was a powerful eighth-tier martial art of the Lin Clan, and under Lin Langtian's control, its energy reached astonishing heights.
With black flames curling around the monoliths like fierce tides, Lin Langtian floated in midair, holding a massive black flame monument in each hand. He appeared as a warrior of legend, strong enough to topple mountains, and the sight of him alone made the crowd feel suffocated.
"Perish!" Lin Langtian's voice was icy and ruthless. He swung his arms forward, and the two massive black flame monoliths crashed down toward the Golden Battle Tiger like mountains falling from the sky.
Boom!
The two powerful attacks collided, sending shockwaves through the air. The fierce Yuan energy whipped up a mighty wind, scattering dust and debris. Spectators gaped as the black flame monoliths slammed into the Golden Battle Tiger, causing it to shatter piece by piece, as if the black flames had completely drained its energy.
"What…impossible!" Huang Yin gasped in horror.
Whoosh!
Ignoring Huang Yin's shock, Lin Langtian summoned a black flame handprint above him, then slammed it down. Huang Yin quickly attempted to shield himself, encasing his body in layers of Yuan energy.
Thud!
But Lin Langtian's black flame imprint struck without mercy, forcing a muffled grunt from Huang Yin as he was thrown down. His body crashed into the ground, forming a crater that spider-webbed with cracks across the earth.
Gasping, Huang Yin spat out blood, his face pale and shaken. He couldn't understand how Lin Langtian's attack could be so overpowering, overpowering even his Qi Transformation-level strength.
"It's that Black Flame…" Huang Yin thought, horrified, realizing the situation had turned the moment Lin Langtian unleashed that eerie black energy.
Whoosh!
Just as Huang Yin was processing this, a black flame-streaked beam flashed before his eyes. Lin Langtian's two fingers, laced with deadly Black Flame, hovered like a reaper's scythe at his throat. Huang Yin's body went rigid with terror, cold sweat pouring down his back. He dared not move a muscle.
"I told you before," Lin Langtian's cold, indifferent eyes stared into Huang Yin's, sending chills down his spine. "Anyone who challenges the Lin Clan will be killed."
