Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 584: Chapter 583 Lin Shangwu Defeated

Unable to dodge the strike, he had no choice but to brace himself for the impact. Another clash of palms, and Lin Shangwu was sent flying, crashing into the stone pillar behind him before slowly collapsing onto the ground, limp all over, completely devoid of the strength to continue fighting.

Gasps of shock sounded from the surrounding crowd. This was Lin Shangwu, and he could not even withstand four palms?

”Third Grandpa! Third Grandpa!” Lin Feng hurried over to help him up, as Lin Shangwu constantly vomited blood, severely injured.

On the other side, Cheng Bingyan also frowned. She looked back at an elder behind her and whispered, ”Great-grandfather, Lin Shangwu is also strong, how could he suffer such a defeat?”

The elder was a powerful expert from the Cheng Family, with strength not inferior to Lin Shangwu. However, he was a hidden expert of the Cheng Family and thus not well-known. He had not participated in the Dragon Head Meeting last May.

The elder looked at the Sect Master and said solemnly, ”The cultivation method practiced by this person is somewhat special. Every attack he makes can absorb the opponent’s power and use it for himself. Therefore, his strength is continuously increasing. Old Lin fighting with him, there’s no way he could take any advantage!”

”What?” Cheng Bingyan exclaimed, ”Does that mean this person cannot be defeated?”

”At least, we cannot defeat him,” the elder sighed and said in a low voice, ”I think the Sect Master’s strength must have already reached the Near-God Realm. I suppose only a Terrestrial Immortal could defeat him now!”

Cheng Bingyan’s face turned pale with alarm. She had originally thought the River God Sect was just a small sect in a remote area. She did not expect the River God Sect Master’s strength to be so formidable. It seemed that she had underestimated the River God Sect this time!

The Sect Master wore a look of arrogance, watching Cheng Bingyan and the elder beside her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

The elder, with a solemn face, gave a slight nod to the Sect Master and said in a low voice, ”Yan’er, let’s go.”

Cheng Bingyan’s heart was unwilling, but she had no other choice at this moment. With the Sect Master possessing such strength, indeed the Cheng Family could not contend with him.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Bingyan stood up and said emphatically, ”Let’s go!”

The people of the Cheng Family immediately followed Cheng Bingyan and left. The crowd on the scene was instantly abuzz with the news that even the Cheng Family had been scared off by the Sect Master of the River God Sect. From now on, the name of the River God Sect Master would be renowned throughout Pingbei Province!

Before they could reach the doorway, the Sect Master suddenly spoke, ”Miss Cheng, please wait a moment!”

Cheng Bingyan’s brows furrowed, and she turned around and said, ”We have no intention of being enemies with the River God Sect. Does the Sect Master wish to make an enemy of the Cheng Family?”

”Certainly not,” the Sect Master replied with a smile. ”We all live in Pingbei Province; it is best if we can coexist peacefully. However, before Miss Cheng leaves, shouldn’t she leave behind something belonging to our River God Sect?”

”What have I taken from your River God Sect?” Cheng Bingyan asked.

The Sect Master replied with a smile, ”Isn’t the Hundred Spirit Pill from our River God Sect still in Miss Cheng’s possession?”

Only then did Cheng Bingyan remember the Hundred Spirit Pill she had. Her brows furrowed as she said in a serious tone, ”This was given to me by Lin Feng. It is what Lin Zhenshan owed my Cheng Family. Besides, once you gave the Hundred Spirit Pill to Lin Zhenshan, it became Lin Zhenshan’s belonging and should no longer be considered as belonging to the River God Sect, right?”

The Sect Master let out a cold laugh and said, ”If Lin Zhenshan had completed the collection of Green Jade, then it certainly would no longer belong to my River God Sect. However, since Lin Zhenshan has only provided ten pieces of Green Jade, the Hundred Spirit Pill still belongs to the River God Sect!”

Cheng Bingyan’s face turned icy, and just as the young lady was about to lose her temper, the elder beside her held her back.

”Give it to him. This person, we cannot afford to provoke,” the old man said in a low voice.

Cheng Bingyan clenched her teeth, but in the end, she threw the Hundred Spirit Pill back.

”Thank you!” The Sect Master said with a smile as he caught the Hundred Spirit Pill, ”I see that Miss Cheng has a remarkable talent. If you are willing to stay in the River God Sect, I will definitely teach you the secret techniques of our sect. Who knows, perhaps one day Miss Cheng could become a ruler in her own right!”

This Sect Master was also smitten by Cheng Bingyan’s beauty and wanted to entice her to stay and become his concubine.

Cheng Bingyan gritted her teeth and turned to leave furiously. As she left, she glared angrily at Lin Zhenshan. This whole affair was prompted by Lin Zhenshan; of course, she wouldn’t let him off!

The Sect Master then turned toward Lin Shangwu, smiling, ”Mr. Lin, do you still wish to take them away?”

Lin Shangwu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed in resignation, ”I am not as skilled. Naturally, I dare not make any more requests. Feng’er, let’s go!”

Lin Feng didn’t dare to speak anymore, and, in a hurry, helped Lin Shangwu along, leading the people of the Lin Family away from the River God Sect in a sorry state.

Watching the people of the Lin and Cheng families leave, there was a cheer from the crowd, who became even more excited to flatter the Sect Master.

Among them, Feng Wenchuan, Zhao Wunian, and others were the most excited. This was their backer, a person capable of repelling the Ten Great Families. From now on, with the support of the River God Sect, they probably wouldn’t have to fear the Ten Great Families anymore!

The Sect Master had a smug expression on his face; this was the exact result he wanted. For so many years, he kept a low profile and bided his time, waiting for this day. And as it happened, the Lin and Cheng families came to his door, helping him to gain fame and prestige. How could he not be pleased?

Zhao Wuyuan was also excitedly flattering the Sect Master and turned her head to look at Su Yang, wanting to see Su Yang looking frightened.

Instead, she saw Su Yang standing there, bored, as if the battle that just took place couldn’t arouse his interest at all.

Zhao Wuyuan always held a prejudice against Su Yang. Seeing such an expression on his face, she became even angrier and shouted, ”Su Yang, aren’t you kneeling down to beg for mercy yet?”

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on Su Yang. Indeed, this was the very person who had been audacious enough to disrespect an elder of the River God Sect. Now that the Cheng and Lin families had run off, Su Yang still dared to stay here. Wasn’t that courting death?

”Su Yang, you actually had the nerve to speak rudely to the River God Sect, now do you realize how much trouble you’ve caused?”

”Hmph, young man, you do not know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth. Do you really think that learning a little ability allows you to be arrogant and unrestrained outside? Hmph, even if your master were here, facing the Sect Master, he would have to kneel and bow immediately. What are you, daring to be so arrogant in front of the Sect Master!”

”Such a person is spoiled by his elders at home. Thinking their family connections and power allow them to do whatever they want. Little do they know, any person here, in terms of family background and strength, far surpasses you. What do you count for then?”

”Inside the River God Sect, all are Immortals from beyond this world, and you, a mere mortal, dared to make such bold claims. Today, without needing the Sect Master to act, I will be the first to not let you off!”

The crowd clamored nonstop, and some even charged toward Su Yang, ready to take action before the River God Sect to leave a good impression on the Sect Master.

Lin Zhenshan fell to the ground with a panic-stricken face, tremblingly said, ”Young Master Su, you... you should quickly apologize to the Sect Master. Sect Master, Young Master Su didn’t do it intentionally, please spare him...”
