"Boy, you haven't even heard of Master Huang, you're as good as dead today."
Jiang Yulang's fear vanished, and he regained his courage, shouting arrogantly at Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly, glanced at the black-robed expert, and said dismissively, "Master Huang? Never heard of him, but his movement technique just now felt somewhat familiar."
"You were the one who ambushed me at the hotel, trying to kill my wife and me, weren't you?"
*Boom!*
Cold sweat broke out on Master Huang's face. He hadn't expected this kid to recognize him.
His fight with Lin Xiaotian that night was all arranged by his superiors, who didn't want Lin Xiaotian to discover his whereabouts.
But now that Lin Xiaotian had guessed his identity, he couldn't let him leave alive today.
"I don't know what you're talking about. You've offended Mr. Jiang, and I will take your life today."
With that, Master Huang swung his sword, creating a gust of wind. A ball of black energy appeared in the air and slashed directly at Lin Xiaotian.
As Lin Xiaotian shielded his eyes, Master Huang's movements were sharp. He turned into a swift shadow and lunged at Lin Xiaotian.
He had to hide his identity that night and didn't unleash his full strength. But today, he could kill Lin Xiaotian without any reservations.
His swordsmanship was exquisite, each move unexpected. Sword lights flashed in the air, overwhelming Lin Xiaotian's defenses.
Lin Xiaotian, fighting with bare hands, dodged several of Master Huang's sword strikes. Master Huang then tapped the ground with his toe, and a radiant array of the universe suddenly rose from the ground, trapping Lin Xiaotian within it.
"Kid, you're still too green. You're digging your own grave by trying to be my enemy, Huang."
Master Huang began to move within the array. His figure was elusive, his fists and palms appearing and disappearing, constantly circling Lin Xiaotian to confuse his vision.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly, completely unfazed. He closed his eyes, and the three-colored true qi in his dantian began to circulate quietly.
All of Master Huang's movements instantly appeared in his sea of consciousness.
While others couldn't see through Master Huang's movements, Lin Xiaotian saw them with perfect clarity.
*Swish!*
Master Huang suddenly lunged forward, finding Lin Xiaotian's weakness and attacking, charging directly at him and aiming a punch at his side.
The power of this punch was like a mountain collapsing, and a trace of flame, generated by friction with the air, accompanied his fist, carrying astonishing force!
If Lin Xiaotian were to be hit by this punch, he would surely die!
However, just as his fist was about to graze Lin Xiaotian's ribs, Lin Xiaotian's lips curled into a smile. He easily tilted his body to the left, dodging the attack.
What?
Master Huang looked at Lin Xiaotian in disbelief, completely unaware of how Lin Xiaotian had seen through his move. Before he could react, Lin Xiaotian's figure had vanished.
When he wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiaotian reappeared in his southeast direction.
*Boom!*
Lin Xiaotian's punch landed directly on Master Huang's back, hitting his vital point!
Instantly, Master Huang's eyes bulged. He felt an intense pain throughout his body, his eyes bloodshot. A torrent of scorching hot blood gushed from his mouth. His body was sent flying forward by the force of the blast, landing on the ground like a dog eating dirt.
His array was instantly broken. Lin Xiaotian easily leaped out of it and stepped on Master Huang's back, saying, "Your array is too weak to trap me, Lin Xiaotian, that's impossible."
"How is that possible? My array is enough to trap a master of the Land Immortal realm. How could you escape?" Master Huang, confident in his array's power, turned back and asked in surprise.
"What? Your broken array can trap a Land Immortal? Are you dreaming?"
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but mock him. He flipped his palm over and sneered, "Let me show you my array. My Vajra Tai Chi Array is specifically designed for the stubborn."
"Ah!"
Master Huang saw a yin-yang diagram appear above his head. As Lin Xiaotian chanted the incantation, the yin-yang diagram began to rotate on its own. Two beams of black and white light shone upon him simultaneously. He felt as if his meridians were about to rupture, the pain tearing him apart.
Lin Xiaotian watched his miserable state and said directly, "This array is my own creation. You can endure it for at most three minutes. If you don't honestly reveal your identity and who is behind you within three minutes, all your meridians will rupture, and you will die on the spot."
"Spare me, spare me..."
Master Huang, unable to bear the pain any longer, writhed on the ground, clutching his chest. He felt his chest slowly swelling and his breathing becoming increasingly difficult.
"Still not talking? You don't have much time left."
Lin Xiaotian calmly threatened him again. A few drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he said weakly, "I'll talk. The people who dealt with you at the restaurant that night were indeed me."
"All of this was ordered by Chu Xiong Hui. If you want revenge, you should go find him."
"You said who?"
The true qi in Lin Xiaotian's palm suddenly stopped circulating. He looked at him in surprise and asked, "You mean Chu Xiong Hui wanted to kill me and my wife?"
"Yes, he was the one who ordered us to do it," Master Huang continued.
This made things interesting for Lin Xiaotian.
He hadn't expected Chu Xiong Hui to have such experts around him. He had underestimated him before.
Chu Nianxue also felt surprised when she heard her father's name.
Although she knew her father had always wanted to seize her business, she hadn't expected him to be so ruthless.
Lin Xiaotian came back to his senses, slowly withdrew the array, and pushed Master Huang with his true qi, sending him directly in front of Jiang Yulang. Feeling the powerful qi wave, Jiang Yulang was immediately knocked to the ground.
He looked at Lin Xiaotian fearfully. Seeing Lin Xiaotian slowly approaching, he quickly smiled and begged for mercy, "Brother Lin, please let me go. I dare not oppose you again. Just treat me like a dog and let me go."
"Tell me, was your plan tonight also orchestrated by Chu Xiong Hui?" Lin Xiaotian asked again.
"Yes, yes, this was indeed Mr. Chu's plan. He told me to lure Chu Nianxue here, get her drunk, and do whatever I pleased with her, as long as she didn't make it back alive."
Jiang Yulang's face turned pale, and he quickly confessed truthfully.
"Heh heh, do whatever you please? And don't let my wife return alive?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's expression turned extremely cold.
True qi surged in his palm again, and he smiled faintly, "Alright then, I'll let Chu Xiong Hui see what the consequences are for trying to harm my wife."
"As the masterminds of this plan, why don't you two jump out of that window first?"
"What? This is the sixteenth floor! Brother Lin, please spare us! We'll do anything you ask, just don't make us jump!"
Jiang Yulang was so terrified that he knelt before Lin Xiaotian, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
