Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 178 Black Flame

First, he voluntarily handed over a key, causing one of the four people, including Tian Zhen, to withdraw. Then, he engaged in a fierce battle with the other three.

The second option is to not give out a single key, and then engage in a fierce battle with the four...

In Lin Langtian's eyes, there seemed to be no difference between the two outcomes.

Lin Langtian gently clenched his fist, then looked up and smiled.

"There are just two of us here, so these two ancient keys will come in handy."

Lin Langtian's words immediately caused a low murmur in the square.

Some people were shocked; Lin Langtian's words meant that he was going to directly confront Tian Zhen and his group of four.

This guy, I just don't know if you're just ignorant and arrogant, or if you really have that amazing ability.

Mu Shou's eyes darkened at Lin Langtian's words, a ferocious look flashing across his face as he slowly said, "You ungrateful wretch!"

"Haha, Mu Shou, why waste your breath? This kid is incredibly arrogant. He thinks he can force back the Blood Moon and dares to ride roughshod over us. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really become a laughing stock."

Tian Zhen smiled coldly.

Lin Langtian glanced indifferently at Tian Zhen, ignoring him, and flicked his finger, sending an ancient key flying towards Lin Qing'er behind him.

"Take this. If you have the chance later, open the bronze gate and enter to obtain the inheritance."

"This kind of treasure should of course be given to our own people. How could these guys possibly want to enjoy it..."

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Lin Qing'er was slightly taken aback, then nodded silently, put the key into the brocade pouch, and slowly gripped the cyan longsword with her other hand, a cold glint surging in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Langtian twisted his neck and then took a deep breath.

He knew that the upcoming battle would likely be the most intense one he had faced since entering the ancient battlefield...

With this lineup, the pressure is indeed considerable.

Of course, this is without considering the hidden cards.

After all, he has quite a few trump cards up his sleeve.

Or... should we just find one?

"Gentlemen, since the people are so ungrateful, let's get to work. As for the ownership of the ancient key, we can deal with that after we obtain it, how about that?"

Tian Zhen smiled faintly.

"Lin Langtian, greed should be kept within limits, otherwise you'll end up with nothing!"

The man carrying the giant axe stared coldly at Lin Langtian and said in a low voice.

"Lecturing me? You're not worthy."

Lin Langtian's voice remained calm and composed, showing no sign of backing down despite the formidable lineup on the other side.

On the contrary, he harbored a faint sense of anticipation.

This is also an opportunity to test his abilities.

Since emerging from the Taiqing Lingtan, I have never used my full strength. This is a good opportunity to let these people get to know me again.

"Since that's the case, then we'll just have to defeat you and take it ourselves."

The man carrying the giant axe slowly gripped it with his hand, then with a tremor of the axe blade, a sharp and domineering gust of wind carved a deep mark on the ground.

"boom"

Just as that sharp and domineering aura swept out from Jiang Shan's body, Tian Zhen and Mu Shou, who were standing to the side, also took a step forward.

Three surging auras spread out, and that immense pressure pressed down on Lin Langtian like a tidal wave.

Tian Zhen, Mu Shou, and Jiang Shan are all among the more powerful experts in the Four Elements Nirvana Realm.

Looking across the Northwest region, this is undoubtedly a top-tier level.

Now that the three of them are attacking at the same time, the pressure is so great that many people in the arena have changed their expressions and hurriedly retreat.

"Splash!"

An immense pressure, as if it were a tangible force, permeated and enveloped the square.

Under this pressure, even Lin Langtian's expression became somewhat solemn.

Liu Bai crossed his arms and stared at Lin Langtian with great interest. He was eager to see how Lin Langtian would retaliate in this situation.

In the square, including Liu Bai and others.

All those gazes were fixed on Lin Langtian.

Clearly, they were also eager to know what Lin Langtian could rely on in the face of such a lineup...

"call."

Lin Langtian exhaled a breath of turbid air, and black flames surged out from his body, swirling and roaring around him.

Black flames enveloped Lin Langtian's body, and a pair of huge black flame wings spread out from his back, then gently flapped.

Lin Langtian's eyes burned with black flames as he formed hand seals, which shifted gently.

"Hey!"

A clear and loud screech suddenly resounded throughout the world.

When that shrill sound rang out, everyone could feel that the spiritual energy in the world was becoming turbulent.

The source of that riot was precisely where Lin Langtian was!

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out, and countless eyes turned to look.

Behind Lin Langtian, dark spiritual energy billowed up like thick smoke.

The black light spread out in an overwhelming manner, and faintly, it seemed to transform into a mysterious black giant bird thousands of feet long behind Lin Langtian.

The giant bird stretched out its wings that drooped over the clouds, and suddenly even the sky seemed to darken.

Black flames surged skyward, rising in torrents, a sight that filled everyone's eyes with horror.

"This fluctuation..."

In the sky, Liu Bai's usually calm expression turned serious at this moment. He exchanged a glance with his two other subordinates, and they were both shocked.

Lin Langtian actually has such a terrifying trump card?!

A mysterious black giant bird, as if it came from the deepest abyss, appeared in this world carrying raging black flames, attracting countless shocked gazes.

Lin Langtian's sudden action clearly took everyone by surprise.

"This kid is very strange. Don't give him time, make your move!"

Tian Zhen watched this scene with a cold expression. Although he didn't think that he and his group together couldn't defeat Lin Langtian, he still felt a sense of unease.

This black bird is truly mysterious.

If Lin Langtian were to actually summon it, something unexpected might happen.

With a deep shout, he burst forward and threw a punch at Lin Langtian.

"clang!"

A slender figure flashed over when the violent Yuan energy gust was still about ten feet away from Lin Langtian. The cyan longsword carried an extremely sharp pressure and casually blasted the Yuan energy gust.

"The three of you, this kid is no pushover. If he keeps dragging his feet, we'll be the ones who regret it later."

Seeing Lin Qing'er calmly blocking the way, Tian Zhen's eyes turned cold, and he immediately spoke in a stern voice.

"Heh, if you're really interested in the legacy of the Four Great Mystic Sects, you should deal with Lin Langtian first."
