Wu Dong: I, Lin Langtian, will not play a supporting role

Time passed slowly, and only one day remained until the half-month deadline.

Blood God Sect headquarters, Crimson Square.

Three blood-red stone pillars, each ten feet tall, stood in the center of the plaza. Thick blood-red chains hung from the tops of the pillars, firmly binding the Barbarian Emperor and several elite warriors of the Qiankun Sect.

The chains were covered with densely packed sealing runes, and dark red light flowed around them, suppressing the spiritual energy fluctuations within the individuals.

The Barbarian Emperor's bare upper body was covered in wounds, left from his battle with Blood Butcher. After months of torture, he was now on the verge of death.

A deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his left shoulder was still bleeding; the bruises on his chest were a dark purple; and the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried and formed a dark red scab.

His breath was weak, but his large, bell-like eyes remained wide open, showing no fear whatsoever.

The several Qiankun Sect experts were pale-faced, their eyes filled with fear and despair, their bodies trembling slightly, causing the chains to rattle softly.

At this moment, the square was surrounded by a dense crowd of Blood God Sect disciples.

They were dressed in blood-red robes, holding various weapons, and stood in neat formation, completely surrounding the square.

A quick glance revealed at least two or three hundred people, including dozens of ninth-grade supreme beings and more than ten earth-supreme level experts.

On the high platform directly in front of the square, three figures stood with their hands behind their backs, exuding a terrifying and suffocating aura.

The person in the center was none other than the Blood God Sect's Grand Elder, Blood Butcher.

He was a Supreme Being at the peak of his cultivation level, with a burly physique and a fierce face. A hideous scar stretched from his left forehead to his right cheek, splitting his face in two like a centipede crawling across it.

His bare arms were covered with blood-red runes, the Blood God Sect's secret 'Blood Rune Body Refining Technique,' each rune capable of unleashing terrifying power in battle.

On the left is Blood Darkness.

The elder, who had been defeated by Lin Langtian in the secondary hall, now had a gloomy face and eyes full of resentment.

His injuries seemed to have mostly healed, but his breathing was weaker than before, clearly indicating that the battle had taken a toll on him.

He stared intently into the distance, as if waiting for something, or perhaps fearing something.

On the right is the Blood Demon.

The Third Elder of the Blood God Sect, with an early stage of Upper Earthly Sovereign cultivation, was as thin as a rake, with a sinister face and a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with the light of a venomous snake.

A faint layer of blood-red mist emanated from his body. It was the blood-fiend energy accumulated over many years of cultivating the evil arts of the Blood God Sect. Even a supreme being would have their spiritual power dissipate if they were touched by even a trace of it.

Three high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns were in charge, along with more than ten Earthly Sovereign Elders, dozens of Ninth-Rank Sovereign Disciples, and more than two hundred elite disciples.

This lineup is enough to crush any enemy who dares to invade.

Outside the square, there were also many powerful figures who had come to watch after hearing the news.

They stood either suspended in mid-air or occupied distant hilltops, chatting in twos and threes, their eyes filled with anticipation for a good show.

"The Blood God Sect has really gone all out, sending three Upper Earthly Sovereigns. Are they afraid Lin Langtian won't come?"

"So what if he comes? Even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't get through this den of dragons and tigers."

"Will Lin Lang really come? Is it worth risking his life for a few subordinates?"

"Who knows? But I've heard that Lin Langtian comes from a lower plane and is very loyal and righteous. He might really come here to die."

"Being loyal and righteous? That's foolish! If it were me, I would have run away long ago."

"So you're not Lin Langtian, you can only stand here and watch the show."

……

Amidst the whispers, some shook their heads and sighed, some gloated, and some even showed a hint of pity in their eyes.

But no one believed that Lin Langtian would actually appear.

To fight against the entire Blood God Sect single-handedly is no different from suicide.
Time passed by, second by second.

The sun rises from the east, gradually climbs into the sky, and then slowly slides down to the west.

Golden sunlight spilled onto the blood-red square, making the blood-red stone pillars, chains, and robes appear even more dazzling, like congealed blood.

The barbarian emperor has been tied to the stone pillar for a full day and night.

Under the scorching sun, his wounds became inflamed, his lips were chapped, and his face was pale, but his back remained straight and his head held high.

"The Vice Sect Master won't come," a Qiankun Sect expert murmured, his voice filled with despair.

"He'd just be throwing his life away if he came; it's not worth it..."

"Shut up!" the Barbarian Emperor roared, his voice hoarse but still powerful.

"Whether the vice sect leader comes or not is his business, but since I, the Barbarian Emperor, have followed him, I trust him! Even if he doesn't come today, I'll accept it! Being able to follow a vice sect leader like him makes my life worthwhile!"

The powerful man opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more, only lowering his head with reddened eyes.

On the high platform, Blood Butcher looked at the sky and frowned slightly.

"What time is it?"

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, it is past noon," a disciple replied respectfully.

Xue Tu snorted coldly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "It seems that Lin Langtian is not coming. What loyalty and righteousness? He's nothing but a fame-seeker. Xue Ming, you've given him too much credit by losing to him."

Xue Ming's expression darkened, but he couldn't refute it.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, let's wait a little longer. Lin Langtian is cunning and might be observing us from the shadows."

"Wait?" Blood Butcher sneered, "We've already waited a day and a night, how much longer do we have to wait?"
The sect leader has ordered that if Lin Langtian does not show up before sunset, these three heads must be returned to the Qiankun Sect so that Qiantian can see the consequences of offending the Blood God Sect!

He raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for the execution!"

Seven Blood God Sect executioners strode forward, each holding a blood-red broadsword.

The blade was sharp and its cold light was chilling. The blade was also covered with runes. It was a blood sacrifice blade specially designed to kill powerful people. Once it fell, not only would the physical body be cut off, but even the soul would be devoured by the blood evil power in the blade.

The seven execution disciples walked up to the Barbarian Emperor and the six Qiankun Sect experts, raising their blood-red blades with the edges pointed at their necks.

The barbarian emperor closed his eyes, his expression calm.

"Vice Sect Master, I, the Barbarian Emperor, am taking my leave first!" The six Qiankun Sect experts trembled, tears welling in their eyes, but they gritted their teeth and did not utter a single plea for mercy.

Among the onlookers, some turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch any longer; some shook their heads and sighed, lamenting the coldness of human nature; while others had excited glints in their eyes, anticipating the moment when blood would splatter.

On the high platform, Blood Butcher's lips curled into a cruel smile as he slowly raised his right hand.

"cut!"

However, just as his right hand was about to fall!

"Buzz!"

A deep hum came from the distant horizon.

The buzzing sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul, causing everyone to involuntarily tremble!
The seven execution disciples' blood-stained blades stopped in mid-air, unable to strike any further, as if they were being held tightly by an invisible hand!

Blood Butcher's right hand froze in mid-air, his pupils suddenly contracting!
Xue Ming's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his body involuntarily took half a step back!
A hint of horror flashed in Xue Sha's sinister triangular eyes, and his bloodthirsty aura surged violently!
"This is……"

All eyes turned to the horizon.

There, a dark golden light shone.

The light was not dazzling, but as pure as the rising sun, warm and unbearable to look at.

The light grew brighter and brighter, like a golden star falling from the sky and slowly flying towards the blood-red square.

Amidst the light, a figure in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back, stepping through the air.

His steps were unhurried, each step seemingly treading on the rhythm of heaven and earth, the space beneath his feet rippled slightly, creating visible ripples.

His face was calm and composed, without anger or murderous intent, only an indescribable calmness and composure.

But it was precisely this calm that made everyone present involuntarily feel a chill.

It was the calm before the storm.

The deputy sect leader of the Qiankun Sect.

Lin Langtian has arrived.

The moment his figure appeared on the horizon, the entire blood-red square fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure in the green robe and at the golden light, as if they had forgotten to breathe.

"That's... Lin Langtian?"

"He really came?!"

"Alone? Just him alone?"

"He's gone mad! He's gone mad!"

After a brief silence, a deafening uproar erupted!

Countless gazes fell upon the figure in the green robe, some with shock, some with disbelief, some with mockery, some with pity, and some with an indescribable... awe.

One man ventured alone into the Blood God Sect's headquarters, facing three high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns, more than ten Earthly Sovereigns, and hundreds of elite disciples.

This isn't bravery, this is courting death.

On the high platform, Blood Butcher's face was extremely gloomy.

He stared intently at the approaching figure, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, but more so, anger and murderous intent.

"So you're Lin Langtian? You have some nerve!" He sneered, his voice booming like thunder, echoing throughout the entire area.

"I never expected you would actually dare to come here to die!"

Lin Langtian did not answer; he didn't even glance at Xue Tu.

His gaze passed over the hundreds of Blood God Sect disciples, over the dozen or so Earthly Sovereign elders, and over the three Upper Earthly Sovereigns, landing on the seven blood-red stone pillars in the center of the plaza.

The attack landed on the Barbarian Emperor and the seven powerful members of the Qiankun Sect.

The Barbarian Emperor had already opened his eyes, staring at the figure in green robes descending from the sky. His eyes were red-rimmed, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The six powerful figures were in tears, trembling all over, whether from fear or excitement, it was hard to tell.

Lin Langtian withdrew his gaze and finally looked at the three figures on the high platform.

His gaze was calm as still water, yet it made Xue Ming involuntarily take a half step back.

His gaze swept over Blood Butcher, over Blood Fiend, and finally landed on Blood Demon. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Blood Demon, I spared your life last time, it seems you don't know how to cherish it."

Xue Ming's expression changed, his eyes filled with a complex mix of resentment and fear.

He opened his mouth, gazing at Lin Langtian's even more unfathomable figure, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

Blood Butcher snorted coldly and took a step forward. The pressure of the peak Upper Earthly Sovereign was like a mountain crushing down!

"Lin Langtian, do you think this is the ruins of the Undying King? Do you think this is a place where you can run wild?"

His voice was like thunder, making the surrounding air tremble: "Now that you've come, don't even think about leaving alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved!
"Blood God Formation, activate!"

"boom!"

The entire blood-red square suddenly trembled!
On the ground, countless blood-red patterns lit up simultaneously, moving and intertwining like living things, instantly condensing into a huge blood-red light shield above the square, enveloping the entire square and Lin Langtian!
Countless crimson runes flowed across the light shield, radiating a terrifying, suffocating pressure.

That was a protective formation that the Blood God Sect had painstakingly set up over hundreds of years. Once activated, even a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign would find it difficult to escape!

At the same time, the dozen or so Earthly Sovereign Elders took action simultaneously, each occupying a key point of the formation and pouring their spiritual power into the formation.

The power of the great formation surged instantly, and the blood-red light shield became even more solid, like a blood-red curtain that separated heaven and earth!

Hundreds of Blood God Sect disciples also raised their weapons in unison, their spiritual power surging, their killing intent palpable!
Three high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns were in charge, more than ten low-ranking Earthly Sovereigns were in charge of the formation, and hundreds of elite disciples were on high alert.

This is a true inescapable trap! (End of Chapter)
