Road to Be the God

Chapter 22 Ruthless?

He had reached the first layer of Shadow Fire Boxing. It was much simpler for his following cultivation. On the grassland, Lin Tian swung his fists in midair. Gradually, the fist shadows increased. Another one hour passed. He finally could exert 18 fist shadows per time, which marked that he had cultivated the first layer of Shadow Fire Boxing to perfection.

"The first layer, 18 fist shadows, quite nice."

Lin Tian gave a smile.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead, sat in situ cross-legged, and practiced Siji Scriptures to recover his energy.

Cultivating combat craft could cost a lot of energy. Within the three hours, Lin Tian kept cultivating. Certainly, his energy waned a lot. He didn't stand up again until he practiced Siji Scriptures for half an hour in situ.

Putting away the book of Shadow Fire Boxing, Lin Tian took out the cultivation method of Wind-startling Swordsmanship.

Wind-startling Swordsmanship was a medium combat craft of body cultivation, which was a ranking higher than Shadow Fire Boxing. It was constituted by three techniques. The first one was Destructive Sword; the second one was Lightning Sword and the third one was Wind-startling Sword.

As to Destructive Sword, the sword Qi was unstoppable like the light blade.

As to Lightning Sword, the sword was drawn out as fast as the lightning, which could kill the target with the force of thunderbolt!

As to Wind-startling Sword, it was the sword move of big perfection, whose sword momentum was even swifter than the lightning. Once it was struck out, the sword shadows would spread all over. It was said to be able to cut off the natural wind.

"What powerful sword techniques!" Lin Tian exclaimed inwardly.

He put away the book of the sword method and then closed his eyes. The sword shadows instantly came to his mind one by one, forming a set of potent sword moves. They appeared again and again. This was the first sword technique of Wind-startling Swordsmanship -- Destructive Sword.

Two hours later, Lin Tian opened his eyes and stood up.

Because he came out too hastily to bring his sword, he had to break a branch and take it as a sword. He bent down slightly. As his eyes glistened, he swung the branch.

"Hum!"

As he waved his right arm, the branch in his hand quivered, and the air buzzed.

A streak of silver sword light spurted out of the front end of the branch in his hand and pierced through a big rock nearby. Then, the rock exploded.

"Awesome!" Lin Tian got a bit excited. "This is the first sword technique only, which is already much more powerful than the Shadow Boxing of big attainment. If I can cultivate the first sword technique to big attainment, will it be comparable to the Fire Boxing of Shadow Fire Boxing? How powerful will the two other sword techniques be after that?"

After the moment of excitement, Lin Tian took a deep breath and continued cultivating.

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

On the spacious grassland, the sword light piercing through the air kept coming. Lin Tian, holding a branch, practiced the Destructive Sword again and again until he was drenched in sweat. The process lasted an hour and a half and he finally cultivated the Destructive Sword to big attainment.

"How weird! It doesn't seem that difficult to learn."

Lin Tian muttered. According to Su Shu, it was extremely difficult to practice Wind-startling Swordsmanship. It would take an ordinary man one month to cultivate the Destructive Sword to perfection but it only took him no more than four hours. He found it quite strange.

Lin Tian didn't realize that the reason he could cultivate so fast was that his own soul had merged with the soul of his body's original owner after his soul jumped into this body from another world. As a result, his current soul had exceeded ordinary people's, making it much easier and faster for him to cultivate. Moreover, his nine-star talent also had something to do with this outcome.

He shook his head and didn't think much. After taking a break, he continued cultivating.

Time fleeted and it gradually got darker.

Lin Tian stopped cultivating and looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "That's it for today."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and flicked away the dust on his clothes. He walked back down the course towards Jiuyang Martial Institution. Shortly, a huge rock gate appeared before him. That was the gate he went through after he arrived at Qingfeng Mountain.

"I've arrived."

Lin Tian smiled faintly and walked faster.

At that moment, two young men suddenly showed up and stopped him from going forward. These two young men were 18 years old or so. One was dressed in blue and the other was wearing a brocade suit. Their cultivation levels were both at the peak of the fifth layer of body cultivation.

"Who are you?"

Lin Tian asked indifferently.

Instead of answering his question, the two young men stared at Lin Tian banteringly and said, "Boy, I heard you've got some nerve. You know that Ms. Su takes Young Master Zhou's fancy but you still dare to badger Ms. Su and even accept the challenge of Young Master Zhou. Do you know you are courting death?"

"Oh? You were not there back then. Is it Zhou Hao who told you about it and then sent you here?"

Lin Tian said with a grin.

The man in blue snorted. "Boy, don't measure the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men. Young Master Zhou is never that kind of man."

"Enough with talking," Lin Tian got a bit impatient and said, "Just tell me what you want."

The two young men immediately gave a sinister look. "What do we want? What do you think we are here for? To invite you to dinner?"

"Boy, although Young Master Zhou has consented to fight with you in three months, you still need to learn a lesson for your offense to him," The young man in a brocade suit walked to Lin Tian and said, "Just stay still and we will only break one arm of yours. If you dare to fight back, I guess you will have one more leg broken."

The man looked at ease and didn't take Lin Tian seriously at all.

Lin Tian broke into laughter. "You two running dogs are so funny."

The young man in a brocade suit paused and pulled a long face right away.

"What did you say?"

The young man in a brocade suit glared at Lin Tian coldly. How dare Lin Tian call them running dogs!

"Can't you understand human language? Beasts indeed."

Lin Tian taunted.

The two young men instantly became sullen.

"You are risking your neck!"

The young man in a brocade suit yelled and struck a slap at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian leaned aside slightly and gave a kick in the waist of the man in a brocade suit swiftly. With a bang, the man was thrown away and hit an old tree nearby.

"How dare you fight back!"

With a long face, the young man in blue made his hands claws and charged forward at Lin Tian.

Instantly, Lin Tian felt a rush of fierce Qi hitting him in the face as if an eagle showed its sharp claws, which was ferocious and potent. He took a step backward and kicked a big rock at his feet away.

"Ghost Wolf Claws!"

With a shout, the young man in blue directly crashed the rock rather than dodged and parried it. After that, he sprang at Lin Tian like an evil wolf and made his hands claws, appearing very vicious.

Lin Tian slightly narrowed his eyes and balled his right hand.

He waved a fist. Instantly, 18 fist shadows came at the young man in blue.

Shadow Boxing!

"Small trick!"

The young man in blue snorted and swung his hands. Astonishingly, claw shadows appeared in midair and crumbled the 18 fist shadows struck by Lin Tian.

At the moment, the young man in a brocade suit had stood up and his face became a bit ferocious.

"Break his two hands!"

With a clang, the young man in a brocade suit drew out a long saber from behind and slew at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and recognized the saber method. It was King's Technique of Using Knife that he had seen in Martial Scriptures Pavilion before, which was a medium combat craft of body cultivation. He looked at the young man and figured that Ghost Wolf Claws was also a medium combat craft of body cultivation.

He swung Shadow Fire Boxing and exerted Dual Position Step, shuffled between the two men effortlessly. For the moment, even if the young man in blue and the young man in a brocade suit employed the medium combat craft of body cultivation, it was still difficult for them to approach Lin Tian.

"Rat! You can only dodge?"

The young man in a brocade suit was fumed with anger.

The eyes of the young man in blue were also blazing with fury. Their cultivation levels were higher than Lin Tian's, and now, they even exerted the medium combat craft of body cultivation but they still could hardly suppress Lin Tian. They both pulled a long face.

"Dodge?"

Lin Tian grinned indifferently. He was only experimenting on these two men and wanted to find out how well he could combine Shadow Fire Boxing and Dual Position Step. Now, as he heard what the young man in a brocade suit said, his mouth curved into a sneer. He withdrew his fist and then picked up a branch randomly. A rush of fierce sword momentum instantly burst out of his body.

"Destructive Sword!"

He shouted.

With a shrill sword chirp, a rush of potent sword momentum was struck out. The young man in a brocade suit's saber was broken with a crack. The young man in blue was in an even worse status. His Ghost Wolf Claws collided with Destructive Sword. Instantly, his hands were badly mutilated with his finger bones even exposed.

Lin Tian charged forward on Dual Position Step and struck Shadow Fire Boxing at the two of them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

They were sent flying away with miserable screams. They vomited blood and couldn't get up anymore.

Lin Tian paused a bit and walked to the young man in a brocade suit.

"What do you want to do?"

The young man in a brocade suit was shocked.

Lin Tian asked with a teasing look, "What do you think? To invite you to dinner?"

The face of the young man in a brocade suit turned ashen with outrage. They said so to mock Lin Tian but now Lin Tian said the same words to him, which was like a slap in his face.

Lin Tian snorted and raised his right leg to stamp on the right wrist of the young man in a brocade suit. The bone fracture sound immediately came.

"Argh!"

The young man in a brocade suit cried in pain. His right hand was ruined by Lin Tian.

With an indifferent look, Lin Tian lifted his right leg to break his left arm too. Then, instead of stopping, he raised his leg again to crash the left knee of the young man in a brocade suit, leaving the latter's left leg broken.

"You said you wanted to break my two arms. In return, I must requite your kindness with more."

Lin Tian said indifferently.

The young man in a brocade suit was in severe pain. After hearing what Lin Tian said, he directly spat a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Lin Tian snorted coldly and walked to the young man in blue.

"How... How can you be so ruthless?"

The young man in blue shouted. As Lin Tian approached him, fear crossed his face.

"Ruthless?" Lin Tian felt as if he had heard the most hilarious joke in the world. "You two came here, claiming to break my arms. At that time, did you think of the word ruthless?"

"You..."

The young man in blue was choking with anger and his face turned pale as death.
