Chapter 273 - 263: The Eight-Word True Mantra (Part 3)
But his feet were honestly planted in place, not daring to approach Lin Lang!
...
Yet amid their fear.
The onlookers couldn’t help but feel a hint of satisfaction in their hearts.
They secretly thought to themselves:
"Serves them right! These martial artists usually rely on their status, thinking they’re superior, and bully us superpower users in every possible way! Now this person has finally broken that facade, showing everyone their true colors! In their eyes, we’re just weeds, to be trampled on at will."
Everyone kept their eyes fixed on Lin Lang, with a unique sense of expectation growing in their hearts—
They really hoped Lin Lang would continue to stand firm!
Even if he eventually faced death!
As long as it could make these usually arrogant martial artists suffer!
Even if it was just to nauseate them a bit!
It would still vent the long-standing resentment in their hearts.
At this moment!
The way everyone looked at Lin Lang had changed from initial shock to admiration and support!
It was as if Lin Lang now represented all superpower users, roaring in defiance at an unjust world.
...
"Courting death!"
The Great Elder Chen Kuangfeng’s face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
Then he unhesitatingly unleashed the potent power within him!
He fiercely attacked Lin Lang—
"Gale Strike!"
With a thunderous shout, a tremendous force surged from within him!
It transformed into a seemingly tangible gale, howling toward Lin Lang.
Wherever the gale passed, sand and stones flew, as if the air itself was being torn apart, producing ear-piercing shrieks, the momentum immense to the extreme!
The entire sky seemed to change color, with dark clouds enveloping the previously clear sky, while the surrounding buildings trembled slightly from the force, as if they might collapse at any moment.
Witnessing this, everyone’s faces turned pale as they scrambled backward, fearing they might be caught in the powerful attack!
Meanwhile, their eyes remained fixed on Lin Lang, thinking in their hearts—
This time Lin Lang is probably doomed!
...
But the outcome was entirely beyond everyone’s expectations!
Lin Lang stood there quietly, his posture upright like a pine.
He let the incredibly powerful strike hit him fiercely!
Yet he remained like a mighty mountain, unmoved, without any reaction!
It was as if the attack, which could pulverize ordinary people, was just a gentle breeze passing by.
"What!"
Everyone was startled, mouths wide enough to fit an egg, eyes filled with shock and awe, unable to hold back their exclamations.
"Is he even human! That was an A-Class martial artist’s full-strength strike, and he just took it with his physical body, no, he basically ignored the attack, this is too unbelievable!"
Even Chen Kuangfeng himself was in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise!
He pondered to himself:
"What is this kid’s background? How is he so extraordinary?"
However!
He quickly composed himself, his pride and refusal to admit defeat resurfacing, as he coldly sneered:
"Kid, you do have some skills! But don’t think this lets you act arrogantly in front of me, taste this move of mine!"
Said thus!
He suddenly stomped hard on the ground, leaping high into the air!
In the air, he rapidly waved his hands, the power around him surged wildly again, clearly intending to execute a more powerful move, aiming to take down Lin Lang in one go.
...
Yet at this critical moment!
A mysterious and powerful force suddenly descended without warning!
That force was like an invisible mountain, instantly subduing the fully-prepared Chen Kuangfeng to the ground!
Chen Kuangfeng felt an overwhelming weight upon him, as if he was bearing the burden of a thousand pounds!
No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move, only landing on the ground with a look of shock on his face.
"Hmm?"
Everyone was astonished, turning their heads to see what had caused this sudden change.
Only to see—
A graceful figure, like a fairy descending to the mortal world, emerging from the sky!
Her movements were light, her garments fluttering.
Although a veil covered her face, the superior aura exuded in her every move still lit up the eyes of those who beheld her.
It seemed that everything around her had faded with her arrival.
It was none other than the revered Saintess.
...
The Saintess gently landed on the ground, walking gracefully to stand before Chen Kuangfeng, and softly spoke:
"Elder Kuangfeng, this person is my guest."
Her voice was gentle and pleasant, yet carried a tone of undeniable authority that dared not be refuted lightly.
Hearing this, Chen Kuangfeng’s face turned a mix of blue and white, changing unpredictably.
"Hmph!"
Though filled with unwillingness, he couldn’t help but speak:
"A guest? But he’s a superpower user! How could the Saintess associate with someone like him?"
His words carried a hint of doubt but more so disdain and skepticism toward Lin Lang’s identity as a superpower user.
The Saintess, however, ignored the dissatisfaction in Chen Kuangfeng’s words, merely looking at Lin Lang and slowly said:
"He will become a martial artist."
Her tone was full of certainty.
It was as if she had already seen the day Lin Lang would become a martial artist, her gaze filled with a different kind of expectation for him.
...
Afterward!
The Saintess slightly raised her hand, her tone calm yet carrying undeniable authority, saying:
"For my sake, let this matter pass!"
She glanced lightly over everyone present, her eyes hinting that she hoped the matter would settle down and not stir further trouble.
