The others present now wore expectant expressions.
Their hearts held a single thought: to quickly cripple this fellow before them. His strength was too immense, so much so that only despair remained in their hearts.
And that elder was the foremost expert in their family. If even this top expert was no match for Lin Xiaotian, then their family would truly be like fish on a chopping block.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, the elder directly struck out with his palm towards Lin Xiaotian's shoulder.
Lin Xiaotian also revealed a faint smile: "I gave the previous fellow a chance, and I'll give you old geezer a chance too."
"I'll stand here and let you strike, and I'll even let you have three moves."
"Within three moves, if you can't do anything to me, by the time I make my move, you might not have another chance to strike."
Upon hearing this, the elder became even more enraged: "Little brat, you're too arrogant!"
"You can just go to hell!"
He never expected the other party to utter such arrogant words. The strength he had initially used, only eighty percent, was now unleashed with his full power towards Lin Xiaotian's shoulder.
With this palm strike, even steel would have been imprinted with a deep finger mark.
But unexpectedly, when it struck Lin Xiaotian's shoulder, it was like a rhinoceros entering the sea, so similar to the scene just moments before.
However, he had not witnessed that previous scene, otherwise, he would never have dared to act so brazenly in front of Lin Xiaotian. But there is no regret medicine in this world. Once he chose to act, Lin Xiaotian would absolutely not give him any more chances.
The others present also stared with wide eyes, disbelief and shock evident in their gazes.
The previous action had already deeply shaken them. They never imagined that their family's foremost expert would be in such a state when facing Lin Xiaotian. Astonishment was etched on everyone's faces.
Some even couldn't help but tremble, for they knew their family was likely in for trouble.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile: "This is just the first move, you still have two more chances."
The elder's eyes widened. He looked at Lin Xiaotian's shoulder in disbelief, finding no trace of injury there. He felt as though his palm had struck the vast ocean, his strength instantly dissipated.
He was utterly incapable of resistance, which far exceeded his cognitive limits.
"You... what level are you?"
"Why do you possess such immense strength, yet you are only in your early twenties? You absolutely cannot be at the legendary realm. Who are you?"
The elder's spirit had been greatly stimulated. He never imagined that one day he would encounter such a monstrous expert. In his eyes, this was akin to a celestial being.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said: "Stop with the useless nonsense. Just fight. I've already given you the chance to strike first, and I'm letting you have three moves standing still."
"Given such a great opportunity, if you're still useless, then you're truly a complete waste."
The elder's eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze was filled with overwhelming fury. Without hesitation, he struck out with his palm again, this time towards Lin Xiaotian's neck.
And this time, Lin Xiaotian also made no move to dodge.
The neck was a person's most vulnerable spot, but Lin Xiaotian's protective qi could perfectly conceal any weakness.
The result was the same.
The elder found it unbearable. He couldn't help but retreat a few steps, his heart churning with tumultuous waves. Fear began to creep into his eyes.
He finally understood that the person before him was not a young man at all. He was likely an ancient monster cultivating somewhere, having achieved the realm of returning to youth.
"Originally, I thought that the so-called returning to youth was just a rumor. I never expected to witness such a powerful expert in person one day."
"I know you absolutely cannot be as young as you appear, only in your twenties. You must have reached that legendary realm, defying fate and reshaping your body."
"Today, I admit defeat wholeheartedly. There's no need for the third move, because I know I am no match for you. Do as you please, kill me or torture me. I never expected our family to offend an expert like you."
"This is our family's misfortune. We have no will to resist. I only hope you can leave a bloodline for our family in the future."
After speaking, the elder closed his eyes. He was utterly despairing. In the face of such an expert, any thought of resistance was impossible.
He even hoped that the other party would spare some of the children in their family, at least so that their family could continue to pass down through generations and not be completely annihilated.
However, Lin Xiaotian raised an eyebrow: "Old man, are you trying to play games with me here?"
"I said you had three moves, and you're only making two and stopping. Do you think I won't act just because of that? It's your own fault if you're incapable when given the chance. If you still want to escape from me, you're probably thinking too much."
Lin Xiaotian stepped forward with a cold smile. He knew this old man was feigning retreat to advance.
But he would not give the other party any opportunity. They had sold fake goods and had unscrupulously attacked those sent by Du Jinpeng. These were definitely not good people, and their accumulated wealth was likely stained with much blood.
Therefore, when dealing with these people, he acted without restraint, with no psychological burden.
Especially this old man before him, who was likely burdened with countless karmic debts. Crippling him would even bring him the merit of heavenly virtue.
This would be even more beneficial to him. His eyes now held a cold smile: "Old man, regardless of whether you can defeat me or not, I will not harm the innocent members of your family."
"You don't need to worry. I won't annihilate your entire family. I don't have such a cruel heart, nor will I do such a thing."
"However, sparing your family is not without a price. There is only one thing I want."
"That is the Medicine King Cauldron!"
