The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Lin Rou looked at Chen Xuan charging towards her and smiled contemptuously. Finally! I can finally take my revenge!

With a casual wave of her hand, a powerful shockwave sent Chen Xuan flying.

"Ugh!" Chen Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, clearly seriously injured.

"Chen Xuan!" Dai Dabai exclaimed.

I never expected Chen Xuan to be so overconfident. If he dies, all my plans will be for nothing!

Qing Lanyu quickly ran over to help Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan, how are you?" Qing Lanyu asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, I won't die." Chen Xuan barely stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the masked man with a determined expression.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself! I've already taken your things, and you don't have anything good left. If you know what's good for you, you'd better stay put and be obedient to me!" Lin Rou sneered.

But what she really felt inside was: "Awesome!!!"

For so long, he had never been able to hold his head high in front of Chen Xuan, always bottling up his anger. Now, releasing it all felt incredibly good! Even better than the genius he had painstakingly nurtured!

"Ahem, what, do you think you can just take our stuff from us when there are so many of us here?" Chen Xuan said angrily.

"That's right. If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure you just discovered. Otherwise... things will be different when I take action myself!"

"How brave!"

Those who had had their belongings snatched by Chen Xuan immediately gathered around.

"You took advantage of our small numbers and low cultivation levels before, and even stole our things, but now that we're all gathered together, you still dare to be so insolent!"

"That's right. Even if you have the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, if we all unite, I don't believe you can be our match!"

"Yeah, brothers, let's unite! Let's fucking kill them!"

In an instant, the scene became agitated. Those who had been robbed earlier grew increasingly angry and decided to launch a righteous brawl.

"I...this!!"

In an instant, Lin Rou recalled some unpleasant memories—scenes of her repeatedly joining forces with numerous prodigies to fight against the heavens. But this time... she'd become the villain!?

"Hmph, since you're all begging to die, then I won't be polite!"

"Wait!" Tang Sirui's voice came from the crowd.

"What, trying to beg for mercy?"

"I would like to ask your name, so that I may have a private duel with you in the future!" Tang Sirui said coldly.

He had his pride. Others wanted to gang up on this masked monster, but he didn't want to. He only wanted to defeat the person in front of him one-on-one.

"Hahahaha!" The masked man laughed loudly. "Alright, since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you. My name is Lin... Batian!"

"Lin Batian? I've never heard of that name before," Dai Dabai said, puzzled.

“Yes, I’ve never heard of that name before,” Yan Xiye said.

"Alright, who cares what he's called? Are you guys going to go or not? If you're not going, I'll go first!" Before anyone could react, Ma Ji summoned his immortal soul and attacked Lin Rou.

Seeing this, the others around her also launched an attack on Lin Rou. Lin Rou looked at the crowd surrounding her and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

You're just a bunch of rabble. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!

With a swift movement, she appeared instantly in front of Ma Ji, brandishing her long sword, which transformed into a curtain of swords that enveloped Ma Ji.

Ma Ji was taken aback and quickly swung his spear to block Lin Rou's attack.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to Lin Rou's. He only lasted a few breaths before being knocked back by Lin Rou's sword. He coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

"Ma Ji!" Dai Dabai shouted and rushed over immediately, wanting to save Ma Ji.

But Lin Rou didn't give him a chance at all. With a flash, she appeared in front of Dai Dabai and swept her long sword, sending Dai Dabai flying.

Then she rushed towards the other people.

Although Lin Rou was alone, she was incredibly strong and experienced in combat. Every move she made was exquisite, making her impossible to defend against.

In an instant, everyone on the field was forced to retreat, and several people were even seriously injured and unable to get up again.

This is even with Lin Rou refraining from taking action; as the Mother of Life, she can be said to never kill.

"Damn it!"

The crowd cursed angrily, but there was nothing they could do; they could only watch helplessly as Lin Rou defeated them one after another.

"Tang Sirui, what are you still watching? We're about to be beaten to a pulp!" Ma Ji roared.

He's not usually like this, but this masked weirdo in front of him is his mortal enemy. If Tang Sirui or even his teammates don't help him, then they don't deserve to be his brothers!

Seeing this, Tang Sirui sighed.

"Brother Batian, I'm sorry to offend you!" After saying that, he also joined the battle.

In an instant, the sky flashed with light as Tang Sirui, together with the others, unleashed a variety of spells, bombarding Lin Rou.

Seeing this, Lin Rou couldn't help but sneer, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from her body, instantly dispersing the surrounding attacks.

"How is that possible! She was just hiding her true abilities?!" Everyone was shocked.

The aura emanating from Lin Rou was actually stronger than all of them combined!

"What's happening here?"

"Could it be that she's been hiding her true cultivation level all along?!"

"No, her cultivation level isn't just at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but... the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm! Her strength far surpasses ours!!"

Everyone was shocked, while Lin Rou looked at them with a smug expression.

"Hahaha!"

"If you don't hand over your storage bags today, it will be the day you all die!"

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you’ve gone too far,” Tang Sirui said as he stepped forward.

"Do you think you can stop me?" Lin Rou looked at Tang Sirui with disdain.

She could sense that this person was a genius, but unfortunately, she had seen too many geniuses, and this person in front of her was so arrogant that he wanted to fight her despite being above his level!

"I don't think so, but I'll still do it." Tang Sirui put his hands behind his back, adopting a profound demeanor.

With a wave of his hands, his plant spirit emerged from behind him, its tendrils beginning to frantically entwine and extend around Lin Rou.

"Cage!"

The next instant, without warning, Lin Rou was trapped in a cage and unable to move.

"Entangle!" The plants behind him began to frantically entangle Lin Rou as she moved forward.

"Overlord Divine Spear!" A radiant plant-based divine spear appeared in Tang Sirui's hand.

"I didn't expect you to be a plant-type. This cage is quite nice; it can forcibly control others! But... who's afraid of your entanglement? You dare to show off your petty tricks before an expert!"
