Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!
Chapter 248 Who is the prey and who is the hunter?
Tian Dou City, on the bustling streets.
Lin Tian walked ahead, selectively ignoring the naked gaze behind him, while calculating in his mind how much mental power he should use to kill the rat, or to use their shared divine consciousness to turn it into an idiot.
The pedestrians around him started acting strangely. Lin Tian stopped and looked around, realizing that he had entered the range of the other party's mental interference and was trapped in a maze.
He showed no panic about his situation and laughed, "I thought you were going to be following me for ages."
Shi Nian's figure slowly appeared. He was the team leader of Canghui Academy, the only Soul Saint of the spiritual type on the continent. At the Soul Saint level, even Soul Douluo might not be able to defeat him.
The boy in front of him showed no fear; instead, he stared at him calmly, seemingly unaware of what he was facing.
Faced with this situation, even the usually composed man's eyes flickered with emotion, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Kid, do you know who you're facing right now?"
Lin Tian's next words made Shi Nian, who was already gloomy, even more so.
"I know." Lin Tian's smile didn't disappear; he said provocatively, "It's just a bigger rat."
He was right. In his eyes, Shi Nian was just a big rat, posing no threat whatsoever.
"Kid, you're asking for death!" Shi Nian locked his killing intent onto Lin Tian, and seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. His martial spirit, Remnant Dream, manifested behind him.
Remnant Dream is an extremely rare spiritual martial soul. It is not good at physical attacks, but specializes in creating illusions and mental torture, killing people in their minds. It is feared by everyone in the soul master world.
Lin Tian stared directly at Shi Nian, who had summoned the Remnant Dream Martial Soul, his gaze unchanged. He mentally assessed and commented: "If Huo Yuhao had this Martial Soul, it might be much more useful than his own eyes. With the addition of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he might become even more powerful, but there's also a high chance he'd become an Evil Soul Master."
When Shi Nian saw that the young man in front of him was calmly looking him up and down even though he was a Soul Saint, he was so angry that he almost attacked him.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "Kid, I'll give you a quick choice. Tell me how you got your second ring in a thousand years and your fourth ring in ten thousand years, and I'll let you die a little easier!"
"You want to know this?"
As Lin Tian spoke, he released his four spirit rings: yellow, purple, purple, and black.
Shi Nian's eyes burned as he stared intently at Lin Tian's second and fourth spirit rings, his breathing becoming rapid. "That's right, tell me quickly, and I'll give you a quick death!"
"Uncle, what's the rush?" Lin Tian put away his spirit ring, smiled at the impatient Shi Nian, and chuckled, "Are you worthy?"
These three words pierced Shi Nian's ears, and anger surged within him. He realized that the kid in front of him was courting death.
"Good! Very good! Excellent!"
After gritting his teeth and saying "good" three times, Shi Nian no longer suppressed his Soul Saint aura and powerful spiritual energy, which erupted like a volcano. He looked coldly at Lin Tian, as if he were looking at a corpse, and said, "Then let me torture you to death today."
"Seventh Soul Skill, Remnant Dream True Form".
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised that Shi Nian would use his seventh soul skill; this showed how much he thought highly of himself.
The seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Form: Nightmare, is a soul skill that greatly enhances the range and realism of the illusion, trapping the opponent in an unbreakable mental cage.
"I'm going to torture you to death, then I'll go find your teammates, hehehehe..."
"Tsk~" Hearing Shi Nian's cackling laughter, Lin Tian sighed helplessly, "Why do you talk so much? Can you hurry up?"
"Die!"
Shi Nian was completely enraged, and his fierce spiritual power transformed into a spiritual pressure that surged towards Lin Tian like a raging tide.
Just as this guy was about to enjoy watching Lin Tian collapse, he saw that the boy was actually feeling his mental pressure, as if he were taking a bath in his own pressure, without any expression of pain.
"How is this possible?!"
"Nothing's impossible, here you go."
Without uttering a single word, Lin Tian flicked back the surging, overwhelming mental pressure with a finger, adding a little something extra.
The mental pressure surged back in the direction that Shi Nian had originally been, just like an obedient dog.
Sensing the mental pressure bearing down on him, Shi Nian panicked and shouted, "Stop!"
He tried to control his remnant dream form to force back this mental pressure, but found it had no effect whatsoever.
He began to feel fear, not understanding why his Soul Saint strength and mental pressure were being reflected back by a Soul Sect youth. This shouldn't be happening.
Before he could think too much, the mental pressure swept over his body, brain, and various internal organs like a stampede of horses.
At that moment, his eyes rolled back, and he screamed in agony, experiencing inhuman torture.
A few minutes later, Shi Nian collapsed to the ground in pain, his gaze fixed on Lin Tian in front of him. There was no longer any greed in his eyes, only fear and dread.
"Don't kill me, I was wrong."
"My lord, I had no idea you existed!"
"Please spare this villain."
Shi Nian was certain that this boy was not human at all, but probably some kind of supreme being. He had actually been greedy enough to attack such a guy; he was simply courting death.
Hearing Shi Nian's pleas for mercy, Lin Tian had no intention of letting him go. He took a step forward, and Shi Nian retreated, fearing that he would really die in the next second.
Seeing Shi Nian's reaction, Lin Tian, now like a hunter eyeing its prey, stared at him mockingly and asked, "What's wrong? Scared?"
Shi Nian nodded frantically, his voice trembling as he said, "My lord, please spare me. I'll do anything for you, even serve you like a slave."
"To be treated like a beast of burden?"
"Yes, sir! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
Lin Tian almost burst out laughing when he heard this. He really didn't expect this guy to be so spineless. Taking in such a subordinate would be a waste of Tianyan Alliance's resources.
"I refuse."
These words struck Shi Nian like a bolt from the blue, leaving him speechless. But Lin Tian's next words gave him new hope.
"However, I'm not an unreasonable person." Lin Tian, like a cat that had caught a mouse, began to playfully tease it, saying, "How about I give you five seconds to run away? As long as you get out of my sight, you win and you live."
"The opposite is death, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Nian nodded frantically, overjoyed. He was a Soul Saint, and even though this guy's mental strength was strong and he wasn't human, his strength was still that of a Soul Master. As long as he fully activated his soul power, he could basically escape from this guy's sight.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Lin Tian immediately began: "Let's get started then~"
"1"
call out!
Despite his legs being weak, he still exerted all his strength to activate his soul power. His figure disappeared from Lin Tian's sight like a ghost. His speed was terrifying, and ordinary Soul Saints could not even catch it with their naked eyes.
"2, 3" Lin Tian looked in the direction Shi Nian had fled. His figure disappeared from the street in an instant and reappeared on a high place in a building.
He was still counting numbers with remarkable integrity, except that he now held a bow in his hand—the bow of wisdom. He began to draw the bowstring, aim at Shi Nian's escape route, and start confirming and calculating, counting aloud: "4, 5!"
As the last number five fell, Lin Tian's arrow, like a wild beast poised to pounce, streaked across the sky and shot towards Shi Nian's direction.
Elsewhere, this guy had already run out of Tiandou City and arrived at Sunset Forest.
That's right! This guy used the last of his soul power to run to Sunset Forest with all his might. He felt no shame in running away, only relief at surviving a disaster.
He leaned against a tree, panting heavily as he breathed in the fresh air. After a moment, a victorious smile spread across his face: "As long as the green hills remain, there's no shortage of firewood. That damned guy just wait."
However, if he had looked towards the sky, he might have had a chance to react, but he didn't look up.
The blue arrow fell like a dazzling meteor. When it was several meters away, he realized the problem, but it was too late. Looking at the arrow so close to him, his eyes were filled with disbelief and deep fear.
His last words were only one sentence: "What kind of monster have I provoked?!"
boom!
The arrow's power obliterated Shi Nian along with the giant tree behind him, leaving no trace of his remains, including the skull fragment; all of it vanished.
In Heaven Dou City, Lin Tian, perched atop a high building, had already sheathed his bow and turned to leave without looking back. His arrows were guaranteed to hit their mark within their range, unless the opponent was a Title Douluo, which Shi Nian was not; he was merely a Soul Saint. Therefore, that guy's death was inevitable.
Back at the Tiandou Hotel, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Tian return safely. He then quipped sarcastically, "I thought you were going to be killed by a Soul Saint, and I was even preparing to go collect your corpse and inform the main body."
"That's a real pity. My victory was a calculated and inevitable result."
"Tch~"
Lin Yan turned and went back to his room. He was already used to Lin Tian's narcissism and didn't even want to pay attention to him, otherwise the guy would take advantage of him.
Lin Tian didn't mind Lin Yan's disregard. He sat down, ate some pastries, and enjoyed the tranquility.
The explosion in Sunset Forest attracted the attention of some people in Tiandou City. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo arrived at the scene, their eyes fixed seriously on the deep pit in front of them.
"Uncle Jian, what's the power of this?"
"It's very likely Contra."
Sword Douluo analyzed the situation, and his eyes caught something. He quickly jumped into the pit, bent down, picked up a piece of bone that looked like crystal, and narrowed his eyes to confirm it.
"Feng Zhi is not a Soul Douluo, but a Title Douluo, so he might be even stronger."
"Uncle Jian, that piece in your hand wouldn't be..." Ning Fengzhi's eyes turned serious, and he had a bad feeling.
"That's right, a fragment of a ten-thousand-year-old head bone."
"What?!"
Ning Fengzhi's mind went blank. Who on earth was this person, so fierce!
