Chapter 156: The Yellow River Gang's Downfall (Part 2)
"Crossbows!" With over a hundred crossbows aimed at him, Lin Tian's eyes narrowed and his state of mind reached its peak! The attacking power of the crossbow bolts was several times stronger than that of arrows. At such close range, a single bolt from a powerful crossbow had an attacking power far surpassing that of handgun bullets. If it were an ordinary top-notch expert, being targeted by over a hundred crossbows at this distance would leave them with less than a one percent chance of survival. The probability of being shot to death by countless bolts was ninety-nine percent!
Gan Hong let out a loud laugh and shouted: "Fire!"
In an instant, a dense wave of crossbow arrows covered Lin Tian! Ling Bo's micro-step was activated in an instant, and Lin Tian's body flashed strangely among the arrows with a margin of only a few millimeters. So many crossbow arrows, yet not one of them could hit him!
"Ah!" The onlookers, as well as the two gang leaders Gan Hong and Wu Song, couldn't help but take a cold breath. They asked themselves in their hearts, could they have dodged those crossbow arrows? The answer was no! Gan Hong and Wu Song were confident that they could withstand the arrows with their brute strength, but to dodge them, that was impossible!
Lingbo Wei Bu, this ultimate skill, the higher the strength, the greater the effect. With Lin Tian Tian's great perfection cultivation, dodging these crossbow arrows is not a difficult task! The number of crossbow arrows is also limited, and soon all the crossbow arrows have been shot out!
The attack power of the crossbow arrows was undeniable. Behind Lin Tian, not far away, there was a large tree that three or four people could encircle with their arms. On it were nailed dozens of crossbow arrows, each one only exposing a small tip on the outside, deeply embedded in the thick trunk for nearly a foot! If they had tried to resist the attack head-on, Gan Hong and Wu Song knew that it would have consumed a large amount of internal energy. However, Lin Tian somehow dodged them one by one, and although there was some consumption of internal energy, it was absolutely minimal, much smaller than what they had imagined!
The crossbow arrows did not achieve the expected effect. Thinking of Lin Tian's extraordinary skills, Gan Hong and Wu Song's faces turned green. The thousands of people from the Yellow River Gang were all here, they had confidence that even if it was an extraordinary master, they could kill him, but what about afterwards?! Destroying Lin Tian would be a huge loss. Looking around, most of the Jianghu figures had smiles in their eyes! They smiled, but Gan Hong and Wu Song couldn't smile!
"Lin Tian, we, the Huanghe Gang, have offended you. We are willing to apologize and offer a grand gift! Wu Song said in a deep voice, "I'm sure you're also aware that with your current strength, it's not enough to wipe us all out. If we were to fight, neither of us would want to see the outcome!"
Wu Song believes that Lin Tian is not a fool. Since he knows he can't destroy the Yellow River Gang, but still dares to provoke them, it's likely that he wants to gain something from this! The Yellow River Gang has money, and if they have to pay some price to get through this difficult situation, Wu Song and Gan Hong are willing to do so. After all, losing money is not a big deal, as long as you're alive, you can always earn more. But if you lose your life, then you really have nothing! As for the issue of losing face, the Yellow River Gang is originally a gang of thieves, and face is just a fart to them. The Yellow River Gang has already gained notoriety far and wide, so face is not as important as silver to them! Moreover, Lin Tian's cultivation is that of an unparalleled master, and bowing down to such a strong person isn't a big deal at all!
Wu Song still underestimated Lin Tian's strength, his cultivation was indeed a Heavenly Grade Great Perfection, but his actual combat power was far stronger than that of a Heavenly Grade Great Perfection! This was thanks to Lin Tian's abnormal recovery speed. Think about it, could the combat power of a Heavenly Grade Great Perfection master who can always fight at full strength be the same as one who can only fight at full strength for a short time?
"Sorry, I'm not interested in your money!" Lin Tian said, as hundreds of wind blades suddenly appeared, slicing through the distance between him and the Huang River gang members. "Be careful!" Gan Hong shouted, but Lin Tian's wind blades were not aimed at him or Wu Song, instead targeting those with weaker cultivation.
The Wind Blade was only a third-level magic, its attacking power was barely enough to deal with ordinary members of the Yellow River Gang, but against Ganhong and Wusong, it was completely useless. Not even their protective aura could be broken through! Ganhong flashed in front of one of the wind blades and gently slapped it away with his palm.
"This isn't sword energy, what is it?!" Gan Hong's heart was shocked.
A scream rang out at this time, the speed of the wind blade was quite fast, under Xiaoling's control, each one was very agile, and Xiaoling could detect how much strength each person had, whether to use one wind blade or two, it was all clear, the power would not be wasted at all!
A batch of wind blades had just entered the Huanghe Gang and started slaughtering, when Lin Tian's head shook again, and another hundred or so wind blades took shape, whistling as they charged straight at the Huanghe Gang members!
The onlookers' mouths were all agape, as if they could swallow an egg. Originally, it was thought that the Huanghe Gang was bullying Lin Tian, who was alone and outnumbered. But now, it seemed that Lin Tian was slaughtering the Huanghe Gang members instead?! Amidst the wails of despair, the Huanghe Gang members fell one by one. Within tens of seconds, over 200 Huanghe Gang members had turned into corpses!
"Too deceitful!" In a short time, the casualties were so heavy that Gan Hong's eyes were cracked, and the snow-white long knife in his hand was cut straight at Lin Tian. The knife had not arrived, but the cold knife gas had already arrived first. Under the knife gas, Lin Tian's collar was blown up!
Gan Hong was also a mid-term cultivator of the Tian level, and Lin Tian didn't dare to be careless. He didn't want to capsize in a ditch! With a cold laugh, Lin Tian slapped out a palm at Gan Hong who was pouncing on him from afar! The thick palm force surged forward like a tidal wave, and Gan Hong's face changed color. This strike of his had already been made with full force, and it would be difficult to take back even if he wanted to. Gnashing his teeth, Gan Hong swung his long knife at the incoming palm force!
The palm force was invisible, but Gan Hong clearly felt that his knife had split open a part of Lin Tian's palm force! If Gan Hong and Lin Tian were evenly matched in strength, then this knife would have completely broken through the palm force and posed a threat to Lin Tian!
However, the gap between Tianji's mid-term and Tianji's Great Perfection is still a bit big! The remaining palm force blasted onto Gan Hong's body, Gan Hong's long knife shattered, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, flying backwards for four or five meters before falling to the ground!
As the leader of the Yellow River Gang, Gan Hong was unexpectedly defeated by Lin Tian in one move. Many members of the Yellow River Gang were stunned, and during this moment of stunnedness, dozens more people died under the Wind Blade! The onlookers stared blankly, a thought flashing through their minds: This time, it's likely that if they don't take action themselves, the Yellow River Gang will be annihilated!
A gang of thousands, could possibly be wiped out by one person, this was something they didn't dare to think about before, but under Lin Tian's dominance, it seemed that this might actually be possible, and the possibility wasn't small! "How long can Lin Tian maintain such dominance?!" Many people thought to themselves, those hundreds of wind blades (in their eyes, that was a strange sword aura) couldn't have appeared out of thin air, right? That must have consumed a lot of Lin Tian's internal energy, and with one palm strike, Gan Hong was injured, which would also be a huge consumption, and at this time, the Huanghe gang still had five or six hundred people!
"Big brother!" Wu Song's figure flashed and he arrived at Gan Hong's side, helping him up. "I'm fine!" Gan Hong had the strength of a mid-tier Heaven stage cultivator, so although Lin Tian's palm was strong, it wasn't enough to kill him after breaking his full-powered slash. However, when Gan Hong said he was fine, Lin Tian coldly smiled in his heart - Gan Hong was just saying that to prevent the morale of their group from being affected too much; his injuries were actually quite severe!
Wu Song nodded, although he could see that Gan Hong was seriously injured. However, at this moment, he naturally wouldn't say anything to dampen the morale of his comrades. "Everyone charge together! No matter how powerful he is, he's still just one person!" Wu Song shouted loudly.
"Kill!" The loud roar of hundreds of people, the momentum was quite sufficient, and the onlookers around were all sweating for Lin Tian! This is a world of martial arts, where some things are not easy to bring out, such as the Fire Dragon Technique. If you summon several fire dragons with bared teeth and claws, others will probably regard you as a god or a monster!
Lin Tian didn't want to stir up the world too much, so he just used a simple Wind Blade Technique. This Wind Blade Technique was similar to Sword Qi, and even if others felt it wasn't like Sword Qi, they would only think that Lin Tian had improved upon it!
Hundreds of people rushed up with a loud roar, their eyes filled with madness, bloodlust and a hint of fear!
"Kill, whoever kills him will become the third leader of the Yellow River Gang!" Wu Song shouted loudly, and as soon as he said this, the morale of the Yellow River Gang members surged again. The Yellow River Gang had only two leaders since its inception, one was Gan Hong and the other was Wu Song. Now, as long as Lin Tian is killed, there will be a chance to become the third leader of the Yellow River Gang. This reward is indeed not trivial!
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. What's more, now it's hundreds of people killing one person?! Even if one's own strength is inferior, as long as luck is good, it's also possible to take advantage of the situation and kill Lin Tian in the end. So, all the Huanghe Gang members who were attacking Lin Tian swept away a thread of fear in their hearts and shouted loudly as they killed their way over!
The intense battle made this place not look like a martial arts dispute, but rather like a battlefield! Lin Tian licked his lips, and the will to fight in his heart also rose! Although there was no one in the Huanghe Gang who could make him look up to them in terms of strength, after all, there were many people, gathered together, that was also a powerful force!
"If Lin Tian wins this battle, it would be a massacre of thousands. The title 'Asura' didn't quite suit him before, but after this..." The onlookers thought to themselves!
"Kill!" Lin Tianchen shouted, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging into the midst of the Huang River gang members who were pouncing on him. With ease, he snatched a knife from someone's hand and began to swing it wildly!
With one slash, someone from the Yellow River Gang would definitely die. Those gang members who didn't even have early-stage cultivation at the highest level of Connecting Heaven couldn't withstand Lin Tian's one sword! The bloody atmosphere filled an area of hundreds of meters, and the Yellow River Gang members were all killing with bloodshot eyes. Although people fell down every second, they still ferociously pounced on Lin Tian!
"Big brother, the situation is not good!" Wu Song and Gan Hong did not rush up, watching one by one of their helpers fall down. The two were initially angry, but slowly calmed down. Gan Hong's eyes stared tightly at Lin Tian: "He actually didn't use his ultimate move, but just used a knife to kill them. Second brother, what do you think this means?!"
Wu Song's eyes lit up: "Could it be that his internal energy is no longer sufficient to support the use of a big move?"
Gan Hong nodded: "Very likely, although the time was very short, but his consumption was extremely large. However, if given time, I'm afraid he will recover quickly!" Wu Song and Gan Hong exchanged a glance, one holding a knife and the other a sword, and they flashed towards Lin Tian, who was slaughtering in the Huanghe Gang crowd!
"I thought you'd take this opportunity to escape!" Lin Tian said calmly, deflecting Wu Song's sword and killing a member of the Yellow River Gang.
Escape? Wu Song and Gan Hong had a little thought like that, but now there are still over 400 helpers, all of whom are quite capable. Giving up would be a waste, and they saw the hope of killing Lin Tian. As long as Lin Tian is killed, Huanghe Gang is not unsalvageable. But if they escape, they will probably have to flee for the rest of their lives. They, who were used to being on top, can't get used to a life of fleeing!
"Lin Tian, who wins or loses, it's too early to say now!" Gan Hong sneered, picking up the steel knife from the ground and taking advantage of Lin Tian's knife distracting Wu Song's sword, he chopped straight down towards Lin Tian's face! "Hmph!" Lin Tian let out a cold hum, this sound was like a thunderclap in Gan Hong's mind, his high spiritual power allowed him to grasp some methods of spiritual attacks beforehand, and this time it was the first practical application in actual combat! The effect was extremely good! Gan Hong slightly stunned for a moment, his knife momentum also paused for a beat.
In this brief moment, the time was less than a second, but for masters competing, one second's time was enough to do many things. Lin Tian's left fist struck Gao Han's chest like lightning, and the powerful energy suddenly invaded Gao Han's body, shaking his heart into bloody foam!
As the leader of the Yellow River Gang, Gan Hong fell to the ground and died!
"Big brother!" Wu Song was furious, having just been led by Lin Tian to kill a fellow member of the gang with his sword, and now seeing Lin Tian wink and kill Gan Hong in an instant. Wu Song had a very good relationship with Gan Hong, how could he not be angry? But amidst that anger, there was also a hint of fear!
"Go and accompany him too!" Lin Tian's voice, like the horn of death, rang out in Wu Song's mind. The snow-bright knife light flashed down towards him like lightning, this knife had no technique, its only advantage was speed, extremely fast, but when speed reached a certain level, it didn't need technique at all. Wu Song found that he couldn't dodge the knife at all, and simply placed the sword in his hand horizontally above his head, and the knife came down!
