Chapter 764: Chapter 736: The Hero’s Anthem
"This woman is mine, you wretch, unworthy of such a perfect woman."
It was an overt mockery, unapologetically scornful.
Even Huang Batian’s subordinates could hardly stand it any longer; it was just too much.
Every man cares about two things, women and face (reputation).
But with a single sentence, the Eagle Person stripped Huang Batian of both.
However, Huang Batian endured, knowing full well the terrifying strength of the Eagle People and Werewolves; he dared not retaliate and had to swallow his pride.
"My lord, my lord, you’re right, such an exceptional woman is not for me to possess, she is yours," he forced a smile and said.
"Smart of you to recognize that,"
the Eagle Person coldly said.
Then, without further ado, gave the command.
"Capture that woman alive, kill all the others."
"Brothers, attack!"
Huang Batian shouted loudly, leading his men as they charged forward first.
Li Linglong followed close behind them; the sounds of battle cries filled the air as the two factions clashed in an instant.
The Eagle Person and five Werewolves stared at Lin Tian, wearing cruel smiles.
"Kid, prepare to die."
They attacked together, with full force, surrounding and attempting to overwhelm Lin Tian.
The one-armed Werewolf, holding a resentment deep against Lin Tian, wielded a five-ringed great saber and struck first.
The other four Werewolves also brandished their large sabers, viciously striking at Lin Tian.
"Godslayer Sword!"
The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the Sword Qi shone bright enough to compete with the sun and the moon!
As the saber and sword clashed, one strike ruthlessly slammed onto the one-armed Werewolf’s five-ringed saber.
Although the one-armed Werewolf had lost an arm, he was flung back by Lin Tian’s sword, retreating four or five steps before he could halt his momentum.
The remaining four Werewolves continued their assault, but Lin Tian, wielding the Godslayer Sword, repelled their four sabers. The resonating sounds of their weapons clashing roared continuously, akin to thunder, sending shivers down one’s spine!
He grew more valiant as the fight ensued; facing four Werewolves, he erupted with an incomparable will to battle, taking on all four opponents without falling behind.
"Useless fools, go aid them; leave this man to me," the Eagle Person roared, sending the four Werewolves away to assist Huang Batian.
The Eagle Person approached Lin Tian and with a gestured summons, produced a three-meter-long, exceptionally dark iron spear.
The iron spear was as thick as an arm, its tip extraordinarily cold and bright; upon glancing at it, it shimmered and emitted a dazzling chill.
The shaft of the spear was incredibly dark, emitting a strong hostility; though made of iron, it gave off a sensation as if it were eternal ice that would never melt, chilling to the bone.
This was undoubtedly a mighty weapon.
"Take my spear!"
The Eagle Person bellowed, the spear cutting the heavens like a dragon, viciously thrusting towards Lin Tian.
The Godslayer Sword was held overhead, staunchly blocking the descending black spear; the edge of the sword halted a mere three centimeters above Lin Tian’s head, narrowly avoiding an injury.
He desperately avoided the Eagle Person’s spear thrusts, feeling a slight numbness in his arm.
The Eagle Person had no particular technique; he relied solely on brute strength.
His power was greater than Lin Tian’s, and the black iron spear weighed no less than ten thousand pounds; the full-force attack from the sky was unimaginably fearsome!
In a contest of strength, Lin Tian was no match, so he immediately retracted the Godslayer Sword. As "Subdue the Heavens" was unleashed, the Subduing Dragon Zither shone magnificently.
A flash of cold light twinkled in the Eagle Person’s eyes as he slightly smiled and said, "So this is that zither, indeed not bad, quite a treasure."
"Zheng, zheng, zheng...!"
The melody of the zither flowed, like orioles singing high in the sky or water crashing against rocks.
The tune played slowly, progressively seeming to slow down time itself, exerting a powerful binding force.
This was one of the three divine tunes of the Subduing Dragon Zither, "Calming the Storm."
Stabilize Heaven and Earth, Calm the Winds and Waves, Trap Immortals, Trap Gods, Trap Myriads of Spirits!
Wave after wave of invisible sound waves acted like impenetrable walls of brass and iron, constricting around the Eagle Person, freezing him in place as if he were a statue.
The next moment, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smirk as he sighed,
"The binding power of the Immortal Melody is strong, interesting. But to think that this alone could trap me, that’s just a fool’s dream!"
An endless surge of power erupted from him, and with a sweep of his spear, the space around shattered like a mirror, breaking the Subduing Dragon Zither’s divine tune, "Calming the Storm," with a single move!
The zither strings trembled violently as if they were about to snap, and Lin Tian hurriedly played the zither to prevent them from bouncing.
"With just that little ability, you think you can trap me? You’re still far too naive,"
the Eagle Person stomped his feet, his black clothes bursting apart, revealing his true form.
A giant eagle emerged; not only did he have two additional talons, but he also had a pair of wings.
With a flap of his wings, he stirred up a powerful Gang Wind; nearby, a stone weighing over a hundred pounds was sent flying into the air, reaching a height of over ten meters.
Using his talons to grasp the spear and his wings to accelerate, the spear was aimed straight at Lin Tian, with boundless killing intent.
Lin Tian dared not underestimate the situation, and urged all his strength to continue playing the second divine tune, "Subdue the Heavens".
Chaos in heaven, chaos on earth, chaos everywhere, subdue immortals, subdue demons, subdue all celestial demons!
"Subdue the Heavens" represented the supreme force of slaughter.
The sound of the zither echoed as if countless Immortal Swords were unsheathed, each wave of musical Sword Qi transforming into sharp swords, attacking the Eagle People with terrifying ferocity.
Seeing the overwhelming attack, the Eagle People slowed their flight, sweeping their long spears and creating more than ten phantoms in the blink of an eye.
Wave after wave of the zither’s Sword Qi was crushed by the long spear, yet some of the residual force hit their bodies, slashing their faces and scattering feathers all over the ground.
They appeared somewhat disheveled, but in truth, no serious harm had been done.
The Eagle People became enraged but had to retreat and regather their momentum.
"Humph, how interesting, to think that you could force me back. I’m liking this zither more and more; it must be mine."
Upon finishing his words, he flapped his wings and in an instant, he was in front of Lin Tian once again.
The zither’s music switched from attack to defense, quickly forming an invisible barrier in front of Lin Tian.
The spear’s tip fiercely struck the invisible barrier, pausing for a moment but quickly shattering it.
The spear’s tip aimed straight for Lin Tian’s brow.
Lin Tian was suddenly startled; he hadn’t expected the Eagle People’s attack to be so strong.
He quickly backed away, pushing himself a dozen steps back before neutralizing the Eagle People’s assault.
He had intended to play the zither music again and launch an offensive.
But at that moment, from not far off, there came a blood-curdling scream.
It was Li Linglong’s.
Li Linglong and Huang Batian were equally matched in strength, but now with the aid of four Werewolves—equivalent to the aid of forty masters at the Mirror-Condensing level—Li Linglong was overpowered. She desperately held out for a few minutes, but ultimately, under the combined attack of two Werewolves and Huang Batian, she was kicked in the chest by Huang Batian and sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing to the ground with grave injuries.
A Werewolf quickly caught up, holding a large knife, looking desperately at Li Linglong. With the knife only five meters away from her face, her life hung by a thread!
Life and death hung in the balance!
He must save her!
Lin Tian shouted, running towards Li Linglong while turning the Subduing Dragon Zither in another direction, his ten fingers moving in unison, playing an unmatched Immortal Melody!
The zither’s Sword Qi transformed into sharp swords, shooting at an incredible speed towards the Werewolf who was attacking Li Linglong.
The Werewolf was shocked, his long knife now less than a meter away from Li Linglong, but it was forcefully pushed back by the domineering sound of the zither.
He swung his long knife with all his might, attempting to resist Lin Tian’s zither music.
"Boom, boom, boom..."!
Explosive sounds suddenly erupted, like oversized bullets striking the Werewolf’s long knife.
In the end, the long knife was shattered, and the Werewolf was instantly minced into pieces by the countless notes of the zither; his blood stained the sky, leaving not even his bones behind!
The Eagle People behind were simply enraged to death.
Lin Tian had the audacity to meddle in someone else’s affair right before them, which was an outright mockery and insult to them.
"How dare you be distracted in a battle with me; you’re courting death."
The Eagle People roared angrily, sweeping their long spear and sending a dazzling beam of light like brilliant stars, shimmering and bursting with terrifying fierceness.
In a rush, Lin Tian once again redirected the music of the zither, hastily defending against the Eagle People’s spear light.
The spear light directly shattered the music notes and brutally struck Lin Tian’s body, his chest immediately sustaining a wound over thirty centimeters long, half a finger deep, narrowly missing his vital organs.
He screamed in agony, his body sent flying and by chance, landing not far from Li Linglong.
"Lin Tian."
Li Linglong cried out in alarm, quickly getting up and running to Lin Tian’s side.
"Lin Tian, are you alright, why are you so foolish, why bother saving me, now you’ve dragged yourself into this."
As she spoke, she began to cry, tears flowing uncontrollably and heartbreakingly.
"Fortune and disaster are intertwined, life and death cherished, such a sentimentally foolish girl, such an emotionally touched lover, such a touching sight to behold!"
The Eagle People slowly approached, their tone mocking and sarcastic.
They aimed their long spear directly at Lin Tian, their eyes filled with both jealousy and resentment.
Li Linglong was the woman they coveted, and now she was crying for Lin Tian, which nearly drove them mad with rage.
Seeing the Eagle People approaching, Li Linglong was shocked to her core, fearlessly standing in front of Lin Tian, using her body to block the spear tip, and roared, "Lin Tian, run! This is my grudge with Huang Batian, it has nothing to do with you. You must not die here. Go back to Wu’an City, where you are a hero. Run! I’ll hold him off."
After speaking, Li Linglong raised her long sword, ready to strike at the Eagle People.
The difference in strength was too vast; Li Linglong charging forward was akin to seeking death.
Lin Tian quickly grabbed her and yelled, "Are you mad? Are you rushing to die?"
Li Linglong turned back, a tear rolling down her cheek, and said, "If it weren’t for you, I’d already be dead. I’ll fight desperately to hold him back, to buy you time. If you remember me, I hope you’d avenge me. Someday, kill this monster of an Eagle Person and, for me, kill the beast Huang Batian."
Tears rolled down ceaselessly, unable to be stopped.
Amidst the raging fires of battle, the clashing of swords and knives narrated a hero’s anthem.
Then, Li Linglong forcefully thrust aside Lin Tian’s arms, smiled back at him with determination, and charged at the Eagle People without looking back!
