The Way of The Dao

Chapter 850 I Came To Collect A Debt [III]

Ling Tian watched the old man who had appeared in front of him without changing his expression. With the old man's eyes filled with killing intent and even a bit of excitement at the sight of him while his own eyes remained indifferent.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I only came to talk and have your ignorant grandson's behavior explained to me, but if you are sure of what you want to do..." Ling Tian looked straight into the eyes of the old man who had appeared.

"Father!" Wen Rue finally stood up and walked over, looking at this old man who had appeared and Ling Tian, who was being trapped by terrifying coercion.

Wen San, the old man who had appeared and Wen Rue's father, grinned fiercely as he slowly approached Ling Tian, watching him thoroughly for any suspicious moves he made.

* Bang! *

The two large doors opened and dozens of guards and Wen clan members entered in an instant, drawing their spiritual weapons and surrounding Ling Tian as they circulated their cultivation essences.

Cultivators from the Foundation Establishment state to someones of Nascent Soul state instantly appeared!

Ling Tian glanced slightly at everyone around, noticing their murderous intentions as they waited for the signal from the old man in front of him to attack.

"It's you!"

A roar filled with rage and killing intent quickly echoed through the place.

Wen Ming glared fiercely at Ling Tian, wanting to kill him with his gaze alone, "I'll kill you!" He advanced towards Ling Tian with a sword in his hand while he had one of his arms and much of his body bandaged.

This guy along with that girl were what had crippled him!

"Young master!"

One of the men beside him quickly stopped Wen Ming. The enemy was inside the formation so Wen Ming would die as soon as he came within range of the formation.

"Grandfather! This guy is the one who crippled me! I want you to cripple him so I can torture him to death!"

With no choice but to obey due to lack of strength and loss of all his cultivation, Wen Ming roared fiercely as he looked at Wen San with pleading in his eyes and pointed hatefully at Ling Tian. If he did not kill Ling Tian with his own hands, then he would not rest in peace!

"I know!" Wen San slowly approached Ling Tian as his aura continued to grow more and more.

Ling Tian let out a faint sigh of exhaustion, remembering that the same thing had happened to the Gongsun family; the ancestor who had a cultivation base at the body condensation early stage attacked him as soon as he said that he was responsible for his grandson's death. He didn't blame them let alone felt guilty for his revenge, after all, the actions of the bratty young master of the Gongsun family made him impatient and this world is where the strongest fist dominates.

Besides, Ling Tian just wanted to get some cultivation resources in exchange for a little coercion and forget about the actions of the guys who annoyed him and his two female grand disciples, so he would leave after he got what he wanted.

But since the Gongsun family had decided to take the next step in the wrong direction, Ling Tian did not hesitate either and slaughtered all the members who were present. Not even the weakest was spared.

Ling Tian did not forget to loot the wealth and cultivation resources of the Gongsun family, which made him content a little and come with a little good intention to this Wen clan.

"Do you really think you will be able to kill me?" Ling Tian asked.

"It's useless! Even if you try to buy time for your sect comrades, around this place is placed a powerful high-level formation compared to the strength of a cultivator at the separation and reunion realm!" Wen San replied with a fierce smile.

"Sect comrades?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly before letting out a faint smile, adding, "No wonder you are so fierce, even this formation is really comparable to the high level of the separation and reunion realm, so consumption must be costly, especially when there is no one of the same cultivation level who can carry its energy... the clan's riches are being used, right?"

Wen San's face changed briefly before he moved closer to Ling Tian, increasing the terrifying coercion on this young man who had not yet fallen to the ground. Wen San had also consumed a valuable and unique high-level pill that forcibly raised his cultivation base from middle stage to peak stage of body condensation in an instant, although the consequences would be that he might lose one or two levels of cultivation, it would be worth it if they succeeded.

To deal with this guy who had annihilated the Gongsun family easily and without making much noise, Wen San was certain that Ling Tian had a cultivation at the body condensation realm!

With the high-level attack formation that can trap powerful experts in the Separation and Reunion realm, this kid wouldn't be able to escape alive from here until he gave him an explanation for what he did to his grandson!

"I knew you would come to this place, but I didn't think you would be so arrogant to come in by yourself and believe it would go as well as you did with the Gongsun family!" Wen San spat arrogantly, glaring at Ling Tian as he raged inwardly.

What this young man had said was true!

The formation that had been activated had the power to even trap a strong expert of the separation and reunion realm within it! But its consumption is excessive and it needs the energy of at least three powerful cultivators of the same realm, so they had no choice but to use cultivation resources and spiritual crystals to make it work since there was no supreme expert!

From here one can see the pain of wasting such cultivation resources on a formation to trap a single person! Plus more than a dozen clan members were sharing their might as well!

Wen San did not believe that this little boy in his mid-twenties could wield a supreme terrifying power!

Therefore, he was on the lookout for any movement from the outside, thinking that this boy's comrades might act at any moment!

There was only one outcome, the death of this young man or the death of the entire Wen clan!

A longsword appeared in one hand of Wen San, madly pouring his cultivation essence into it as he watched Ling Tian coldly.

Wen Rue, behind Wen San, felt more nervous and fearful the more he watched Ling Tian's unusually calm face. But he had already taken the step and could not back down, so it was either the end of them or the end of this young man.

"Why are families that reach a certain status or level so arrogant?"

Ling Tian muttered wearily and disappointed, shaking his head slightly before adding, "I had only come here to be given some things in exchange for not bothering you anymore because of your clan's actions, but I can already see that it's useless to engage in a conversation in peace."

Lifting his gaze, Ling Tian smiled mockingly as he returned Wen San's gaze. He lifted his foot and took a step, approaching Wen San.

* Crack! *

The sound of a huge sheet of paper shattering echoed clearly in the place, causing cracks to appear in the air that were barely noticeable, but did not cause any major movement in the space.

* Boom! *

The powerful formation around the place fiercely exploded, killing several dozen clan members in the surroundings outside the hall who were holding the formation!

Wen San retreated a few steps back from the expanding wave before disappearing from the scene. His figure once again appeared at Ling Tian's side and the sword had already slashed in the direction of Ling Tian's head.

"[Universal Cut]!"

Wen San roared as his cultivation essence madly poured onto the sword, piercing through the expanding ripples of the ruined formation as he directed it towards Ling Tian's neck.

Ling Tian looked at the sword coming towards him, straight at his neck without any hesitation.

The power of Sacred Heavenly Scriptures and Soul Spiritual Force instantly flowed out in front of the fiercely coming sword slash. Space was torn straight through.

The [Exile] was quickly created, opening a gap of the void and swallowing the sword attack along with the energy on the spot in a couple of seconds!

The place became silent. Everyone watched what had happened without stopping and immediately observed Ling Tian who did not move an inch from his place.

The main hall was almost destroyed, with barely a few pillars holding up the roof before falling if another fierce attack was unleashed. The doors were about to fall down, while the atmosphere was filled with dust and the place became a mess.

But no one dared move an inch from their places, much less escape. All the while they watched in terror at the young man in the center.

"Who told you I had sect comrades?"

Ling Tian had barely finished speaking when a cultivation essence giant hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Wen San easily.

"Y-you... you are a Great Ascension realm expert!"

Wen San's pupils shrank fiercely, feeling terror and fear in his body as he realized that this young man was a supreme world expert!

* Boom! *

Wen San's old body filled with terrifying power exploded as the giant hand crushed him to death!
