The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Throwing Rats for Fear of Breaking Things

The seemingly unremarkable Black Dragon Dagger became something no one dared to underestimate after slicing through two knuckles.

As the dagger pressed against her carotid artery, Wang Sijing remained exceptionally calm. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were as still as ancient wells as she looked at Lin Tian and softly said, ”Lin Tian, do you think my life is valuable?”

Lin Tian replied without hesitation, ”Of course.”

”And what about your life?”

”Even more valuable.”

”I think so too. I must admit, you’re superior to me in every way. With you around, you’re a disaster for my Wang Family!” Wang Sijing said through gritted teeth.

Lin Tian chuckled lightly, ”I’m a person who distinguishes between kindness and revenge. If your Wang Family hadn’t caused trouble for me first, I wouldn’t be targeting you like this. But what can you do about me?”

The high-pitched voice resounded clearly in the True Martial Hall for everyone to hear. It was a complete slap in the face for the Wang Family. Indeed, with Wang Sijing in his hands, the Wang Family could only proceed cautiously.

Not to mention Wang Sijing being a genius of the Wang Family, no one was willing to sacrifice her. Even if she were just an ordinary disciple of the Wang Family, Mr. Wang and Wang Manzi couldn’t just sacrifice her in public. That would ruin their reputation!

”Lin Tian! Let her go, and I’ll spare your worthless life!” Wang Manzi shouted loudly, while his severed finger still dripped blood slowly. His hatred for Lin Tian was perhaps the deepest among all present.

Lin Tian sneered disdainfully, ”Spare my worthless life? You think you can get what you want from me and then kill me? Old man, I think you’re getting senile.”

As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Wang Sijing in his arms recklessly thrust herself onto the Black Dragon Dagger.

She actually wanted to kill herself!

”Damn!” In a panic, Lin Tian hurriedly pulled the dagger away, but the dagger was too sharp and left a cut on her neck, causing blood to immediately spill out along her throat.

”That crazy woman!” Lin Tian’s heart seemed to skip a beat; he hadn’t expected such an unpredictable turn of events!

”Kill him for me!”

”Kill!”

The anger of the Wang Family members was like their voices, soaring to the heavens, seemingly able to disperse clouds in the sky.

They were already seeing red with rage, and Wang Sijing’s act of self-harm completely ignited them. The Wang Family’s crowd swarmed towards Lin Tian like a swarm of bees.

Seeing this, Lin Tian felt a tingling at the back of his neck, and his legs seemed to lose strength. He wanted to run, but every path seemed like a dead end. Even the Great Elder was now controlled by a Heart Demon, frantically occupied with the Sixth Elder, leaving no time for him.

Suddenly, Lin Tian sheathed the dagger at his waist and, holding Wang Sijing’s slender waist, laid her on the floor.

”She can still be saved. Anyone who doesn’t want her to die, step back now!”

Lin Tian’s shout also sent chills through everyone in the True Martial Hall for a moment.

Only afterwards did they react. It seemed he had used some Mao Mountain Skill capable of intimidating the soul. If his power was strong enough, it could even call the three spirits and seven souls out of a person’s body.

The Wang Family hesitated for a moment before deciding whether to advance.

Wang Manzi kicked a senior Martial Artist, shouting, ”What the hell are you all hesitating for? Kill him!”

”Kill!”

Like a fuse reaching a powder keg, the Wang Family erupted again.

Suddenly, a silhouette flashed and blocked the way.

Looking closely, it was actually Mr. Wang.

”Ancestor... what are you doing?”

”The boy is right, Sijing can still be saved. Life is precious; I’ll take Lin Tian’s worthless life myself later,” Mr. Wang said.

”But...” Wang Manzi’s breathing grew heavy. He was still unwilling.

”No buts! Save her!”

”Yes!”

Seeing the dust settle, Lin Tian secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. To be pursued by so many masters was truly nine deaths for one life.

Mr. Wang’s eyes were like electricity, softly asking, ”Lin Tian, you said just now that Sijing can still be saved. Can you save her?”

”I can,” Lin Tian nodded.

He felt all this was utterly frustrating! Had he known it would turn into such a situation, he wouldn’t have bothered with a sneak attack. Now he found himself between a rock and a hard place, and it was utterly sickening.

”The wound isn’t deep, not life-threatening, and treatable.”

Wang Manzi shouted, ”We’ll save her ourselves, you get out of the way.”

”You think I would leave just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?” Lin Tian said mercilessly. ”I’m not stupid enough to hand her over to you.”

Mr. Wang took a deep breath; it was clear he was also quite enraged.

”I know you’re a renowned doctor, with exceptional medical skills, but it’s impossible for us to let you treat her. How about this, you hand her over to us, and I’ll let you go for now,” Mr. Wang said.

”Really?”

”Of course. Do you have any other choice now?”

Indeed, Lin Tian at this point could only try to save himself.

In the end, Lin Tian compromised, handing her over, but he remained in a state of high tension as he slowly retreated, gripping the dagger tightly.

”Ancestor, are we just going to let him go?”

Mr. Wang let out a cold laugh, ”Hmph? Let him go? Just wait, there’s a good show coming up soon.”

”A show?”

The crowd didn’t understand what the ancestor meant, but it seemed that Lin Tian would soon be in trouble.

Finally, Lin Tian retreated a long distance, maintaining a safe distance from the Wang Family. Just as he was about to let out a breath, he suddenly heard the Sixth Elder’s voice: ”Master, run! My brother’s gone mad!”

Following the voice, Lin Tian looked over to see the Great Elder, disheveled and red-eyed, wielding a large knife full of dull edges. After such a fierce battle, it was amazing the knife hadn’t broken.

Yet for some reason, this guy was rushing past everyone, coming straight for Lin Tian.

This was an extremely unusual phenomenon. The Heart Demon had taken control of his mind; it should make him attack indiscriminately. Why had he locked onto him instead?

Suddenly, Lin Tian noticed Mr. Wang standing not far away, looking at him with a conspiratorial smile, pointing at his own left shoulder.

Lin Tian also looked down at his own left shoulder and saw a fingerprint-sized red dot that he hadn’t noticed before. It was incredibly obvious, and when he sniffed, there was a faint sweet smell.

”Really damn despicable!” Lin Tian cursed under his breath, while pulling off his clothes.

Clearly, the Heart Demon was after that red dot!

”Roar~”

This roar sounded like a dragon’s call, or perhaps a tiger’s growl — in any case, it was not a sound a human should make. It was so loud that Lin Tian’s ears began ringing.

At a distance of fifty meters, it would take a Golden Core master like the Great Elder only a few moments to close in, and soon, that large, chipped knife was swinging down towards Lin Tian.
