Martial Arts Master: The Lin Family Sword God, who swept through the Five Mountains and Four Sects

He had just pushed open the door when Han Fei suddenly looked up: "Brother Lin?!"

"One hundred thousand Wei soldiers, not a single one left." Lin Tian shrugged. "If they didn't come back, were they supposed to just sit there counting corpses?"

Han Fei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. His lips moved a few times before he managed to squeeze out, "You...you killed them all by yourself?"

From leaving the city to returning, it was only six or seven hours. One hundred thousand elite troops, wiped out so easily? Absurd! Yet these words came from Lin Tian's mouth. To believe it is madness; to disbelieve it is even madness.

"Wei Zhuang is returning to the city immediately." Lin Tian looked up into the distance. "He saw it with his own eyes."

Zi Nu stood to the side, her brows showing no sign of hesitation. When Lin Tian asked her if she believed him, she was already certain—he would surely crush the ironclad torrent of 100,000 Wei soldiers.

But she didn't ask any more questions, only softly uttering, "Lin Tian, ​​Honglian has been kidnapped."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Fei snapped back to reality, hurriedly bowed, and said anxiously, "Brother Lin, tonight's events were sudden. My younger sister has unfortunately fallen into Tianze's hands. I beg you, Brother Lin, to help her!"

"Honglian has been arrested?!"

Lin Tian's expression hardened, his gaze darkened, and he blurted out, "Is the Crown Prince alright?!"

In the depths of his memory, this robbery was originally a whirlpool of unexpected twists and turns, and the source of the whirlpool was none other than the Crown Prince of Han, who sat high in the Eastern Palace.

"The Crown Prince?" Han Fei was taken aback, then shook his head. "He is unharmed. Zifang discovered that the ruins of the old Zheng city contained clues to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. I invited Miss Zinu to go and investigate, but we unexpectedly ran into Tianze's gang. Before the two sides even clashed, Honglian suddenly appeared—as the Imperial Guards surrounded them, they took Honglian hostage and escaped." His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his tone was so earnest that it was almost pleading. "Brother Lin, please, you must save her..." Lin Tian had never seen him with such a humble and submissive demeanor before.

"Don't worry." Lin Tian nodded, his tone steady. "She is your sister, and also someone I knew."

His brow furrowed slightly, his thoughts racing. Since he had grasped the mysteries of "God," the past had become increasingly clear—Tianze's lair was located in a long-abandoned old neighborhood outside Xinzheng City.

"Are there any abandoned urban areas around Xinzheng?" He suddenly looked up.

Han Fei was taken aback, then replied, "Yes, it is located more than ten miles west of the city, but it has long since become ruins."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Tian's figure vanished like an arrow released from a bow.

"No need to worry." Zi Nu gazed at the empty doorway, her voice calm yet resolute. "Now that he has made his move, Hong Lian will be safe. You should wait a moment at Zi Lan Xuan; he will likely be back in no time."

Han Fei gave a wry smile and a long sigh. He nodded, then suddenly teased, "Miss Zi Nu, your trust in Brother Lin is even more unwavering than his own. But... Brother Lin doesn't yet know your feelings. When do you plan to reveal them?"

Zi Nu's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes to hide her embarrassment and said coldly, "What's it to you?"

Han Fei was rebuffed and awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, speechless for a moment.

Just then, Wei Zhuang pushed open the door and entered.

"Brother Wei Zhuang!" Han Fei stepped forward. "What is the state of the Wei army?" Even though he believed Lin Tian, ​​this matter was too shocking, and he still needed to verify it with his own ears.

Wei Zhuang's eyes, which had been as calm as still water, suddenly surged with shock—the momentary astonishment almost tore apart his usual coldness. He spoke slowly, each word as firm as iron: "One hundred thousand Wei soldiers, all annihilated."

The last trace of doubt in Han Fei's mind completely dissipated, and he looked up and sighed softly, "I really don't know... how Brother Lin managed to do that."

……

Lin Tian's physique is 140 times stronger than that of an ordinary person—not just in terms of muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, but also in terms of eyesight, hearing, reaction time, and perception...

Although he did not reach the legendary level of seeing things from a thousand miles away and hearing sounds with the wind, within ten miles, nothing—fallen leaves, insect chirps, or fluttering wings—could escape his notice.

"Found it."

He paused, his ears already catching the sounds of an argument—the voices of two women, one of whom was Honglian.

They sped towards the sound and arrived in an instant.

"Peerless Ghost, Corpse-Driving Demon, King of a Hundred Poisons—the three of you are the Three Fiends under Tianze's command?"

The three people in front of him looked very different, and Lin Tian recognized them at a glance.

"Who are you?!" the Corpse Demon asked in a deep voice, but as soon as his eyes met Lin Tian's, a chill ran down his spine, as if a blade was pressed against his throat.

At that moment, a clear yet arrogant voice suddenly pierced the silence:

"Let go of me! You wretched woman, if you don't let go, when Brother Lin Tian arrives, none of you will survive!"

"Brother Lin Tian?!" Honglian looked up abruptly, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Lin Tian. "Brother Lin Tian, ​​you really came to save me?!"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled, shrugging. "Running around in the wilderness in the middle of the night to enjoy the wind and moon?"

For him, finding Honglian meant the rescue was complete; as for Tianze and the others, they weren't even worthy of his attention.

"I knew it! Brother Lin Tian wouldn't abandon me!" Honglian replied excitedly, her joy written all over her face—not because she was safe, but because he had come.

"Let's go home." Lin Tian extended his hand.

"Yes!" Honglian nodded vigorously and turned to run towards him.

Yan Lingji was unwilling to let them go and raised her arm to block them—but the moment her fingertips moved, her entire arm felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles, the excruciating pain drilling straight to her bone marrow, as if an invisible blade was slicing through her tendons inch by inch. She instinctively withdrew her hand, her expression changing slightly.

Honglian rushed to Lin Tian's side, grabbed his arm tightly, and smiled radiantly.

Thirty-nine

"You're just planning to take him away so casually? Do you really think I, Tianze, am just a decoration?" Tianze's gaze was like a knife, piercing straight at Lin Tian, ​​his voice as cold as ice.

He did sense a hint of danger emanating from Lin Tian, ​​but with five of them surrounding him while Lin Tian stood alone, dragging Hong Lian along—in his eyes, Lin Tian was nothing more than a burden, a weakness, a living Achilles' heel. He was certain that victory was in his own hands.

"Oh? Do I need to take you seriously?" Lin Tian's tone was calm, yet it was like throwing out a silent, thin blade, its sharpness fully revealed.

"Damn it!!" Tianze's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, his anger surging like boiling water. The snake-head chain behind him suddenly straightened, hissing and shaking the air, its scales trembling.

"Honglian, did they bully you just now? If you felt wronged, I'll clear the area for you right away." Lin Tian turned his head, his tone casual, yet he handed over the power of life and death entirely to Honglian. The air instantly tensed, even the wind seemed to freeze.

"Ah..." Honglian was startled, her fingers twisting the hem of her sleeve. After a moment's hesitation, she raised her chin: "Forget it! Although they kidnapped me, they didn't beat or scold me... Hmph! You wretched women, I'll spare your lives this time! If there's a next time—I'll have Brother Lin Tian chop you all into mincemeat!"

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even though she was spoiled, willful, and outspoken, she still had an innocent and pure heart. She was far from the venomous beauty known as "Red Serpent" who would later strike fear into the hearts of the martial arts world.

"Then let's go back, Honglian." After saying that, Lin Tian turned around and left, his clothes fluttering slightly, his movements swift and decisive.

"Trying to leave? You're underestimating Zilan Pavilion!" The Hundred Poison King interrupted coldly. Just as Lin Tian passed by, he flicked his sleeve, and two streams of dark blue poisonous mist shot out like snakes spitting their tongues!
