Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lin Yaoxie grabbed the Goddess's other hand, a smile on his face as well: "Then your divination is inaccurate."

"We'll find out soon enough whether it's allowed or not." Lin Yaoxie and Shenmu each grabbed one hand, seemingly competing in their true energy.

An invisible, enormous wave of true energy emanated from Lin Yaoxie and the Divine Mother. Fortunately, the location where the Divine Mother was performing her fortune-telling was very secluded, and no ordinary people passed by; this was also intentionally done by the Divine Mother.

Lin Yaoxie's wives were forced to retreat by the combined power of the two men, while Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, and the others stared at Lin Yaoxie with tense expressions.

In a normal fight, they could intervene, but in a contest of true strength like this, others can only watch helplessly.

"Old woman, you ate garlic for lunch, didn't you? It smells awful." Seeing Lin Yaoxie's relaxed expression, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Lin Yaoxie, the Divine Mother was on high alert, her face pale and beads of sweat dripping down her face. She was no longer as relaxed and carefree as she had been at the beginning.

Under the repeated assaults of Lin Yaoxie's powerful true energy, the Divine Mother finally could not hold on any longer, abruptly releasing her grip and retreating several steps.

"What's wrong, old woman? Still think I can't kill you?" Lin Yaoxie pressed closer to the Divine Mother.

The Goddess grinned, standing motionless. Lin Yaoxie looked on with suspicion, raised one arm, and pierced the Goddess's heart with a sword intent.

The goddess collapsed with a thud, but Lin Yaoxie sighed, "We've been tricked!"

In the Tianmen Conference Hall, the Goddess, who had been sitting motionless on the main seat, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence, her face turning pale.

"How is she?" asked Indra, who was healing the goddess, as he stood nearby.

The goddess's face was grim: "They are too powerful; we can't handle them alone."

"You mean, even I can't beat him?" No expression could be seen from behind the mask.

“Unless the three of us join forces, we have no chance of defeating him.” At that moment, the Divine Mother recounted her encounter with Lin Yaoxie and her contest of true energy with him.

After listening, Xiong Ba, standing to the side, looked unwilling: "His internal energy is strong, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's very strong!"

"Enough, enough." Di Shitian waved his hand: "We can no longer afford to fail. From now on, our people should try not to touch Wushuang City, and we will not provoke them. If Lin Yaoxie knows what's good for him, then we will be fine. But if he dares to come... then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Haha! What do I have to be afraid of? Di Shitian, listen up! In three days, I, Lin Yaoxie, will slaughter your Heavenly Gate to the point of chaos!" Lin Yaoxie's voice came from afar, startling everyone. After a long while, when they did not see Lin Yaoxie appear, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this telepathy transmitted over a thousand miles?" Xiong Ba asked incredulously.

"It seems there's no escaping this hurdle." Emperor Shitian sighed. "Then let's have the final battle in three days."

"You don't need to be too discouraged," the Divine Mother said to Emperor Shitian. "These three days have allowed me to recover my true energy. We have so many methods at our disposal, and we are working together. Why should we fear a mere demon from the forest?"

"Furthermore," the Goddess Mother said with a lewd smile, "I have already sacrificed half of my true energy to subtly manipulate Lin Yaoxie. By the time of the final battle, he probably won't be able to use even half of his true energy."

"Very good! Just to be on the safe side, I need to hurry up and break through to the last level." Di Shitian nodded.

"Does the sect leader have confidence?" Xiong Ba asked in return.

Di Shitian glanced at Shenmu and Xiong Ba: "According to the original plan, I am not in a hurry. Now it seems that I must find the true qi of the ten experts at the Earth Profound level as a catalyst. I will definitely break through within three days."

"Although it's a pity that ten experts died, it was worth it for this battle." The Empress Dowager revealed a cruel smile.

...

In the second space, Lin Yaoxie sat cross-legged, surrounded by a group of women.

"Husband, why did you use telepathy instead of attacking directly?" Huang Rong knew Lin Yao's temperament well; he was the kind of ruthless demon king who would settle scores quickly and never remind someone before killing them.

"I have a feeling that something is wrong." Lin Yaoxie checked his body several times but found nothing unusual.

“That old woman is very suspicious. When I was competing with her in terms of internal energy, I could clearly feel the turbulence in her internal energy. She risked her life to come to Wushuang City, not just to test my strength.”

"Does your husband suspect that this old woman has done something to you?" Zhao Min asked from the side.

Lin Yaoxie nodded.

“I once heard an old woman say that there is a kind of true qi technique that can seal the opponent’s true qi invisibly, but I have never encountered it.” At this moment, the cold and beautiful young woman suddenly spoke up.

"Blocking true energy?" Lin Yaoxie's heart stirred inexplicably. He examined his body again, this time not using his true energy to check his various parts, but rather using his mental power to examine his true energy.

Chapter 258: The Strongest Emperor Shitian

Lin Yaoxie carefully examined the situation, and just as his thoughts were about to sweep over all the true energy, he finally discovered the anomaly.

There was actually a small transparent particle in his true energy. Lin Yaoxie tried to merge it with his true energy, but was rejected by the transparent particle.

"It really isn't mine!" Since it wasn't his, Lin Yaoxie used his true energy to completely pulverize and evaporate the particle.

After finishing all this, Lin Yaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the little girl and kissed her hard: "At crucial moments, my little girl is still the most useful, haha."

Lin Yaoxie's actions drew scorn from the other wives.

After crushing the particles, Lin Yaoxie was completely free of worries, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If he had acted impulsively and tried to destroy the Heavenly Gate, he might have been unable to defeat the combined forces of Di Shitian, Xiong Ba, and the old woman, given that his true energy had been sealed.

"I almost suffered a humiliating defeat!" Lin Yaoxie's childhood experiences on Earth made him value life highly, and even after becoming powerful, he remained cautious and prudent, which saved his life at a crucial moment.

Inside the secret chamber of the Heavenly Gate, Emperor Shitian sat upright on the ground, holding a golden inner core in his hand. Lying in front of him were all experts who had withered and died after Emperor Shitian had absorbed all their true energy and essence.

Among these ten people, the weakest was a powerful figure like Xiong Ba in his early years, while the strongest had even reached the level of Wuming, who had comprehended the Myriad Swords Return to One, and was at the level of Jue Wushen. Now, all of their cultivation over the past ten years has been absorbed by Di Shitian.

The golden inner core that Indra holds is the number one treasure from the Qin Dynasty to the present day: the Long Yuan Dan!

After fusing the true energy of the ten powerful individuals, Di Shitian didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed the Longyuan Pill. Di Shitian had drunk phoenix blood in his youth, which granted him immortality, and now he had consumed the Longyuan Pill!

After a long while, Indra suddenly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy: "I have finally mastered the final move of the Sacred Heart Technique!"

"Goddess, Overlord, come to my secret chamber at once." Emperor Shitian's eyes were filled with excitement. He had waited for a thousand years for this moment. He had finally comprehended the most powerful internal energy technique in history, the most heaven-defying move of the Sacred Heart Technique.

Two minutes later, the Goddess and Xiong Ba arrived at the secret room.

Seeing that Di Shitian had taken off his mask and was full of excitement, Shenmu and Xiong Ba had already guessed what was going on.

"Sect Master, have you mastered it?" Xiong Ba asked cautiously.

"It's done! It's finally done! Haha!" Di Shitian laughed excitedly, looking up at the sky. After mastering the Sacred Heart Technique, he broke through the Heavenly One Realm and reached a higher level.

Di Shitian's current strength is equivalent to the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. In terms of strength, even Lin Yaoxie's third level of the Golden Core stage is far inferior to Di Shitian. Of course, Lin Yaoxie is a practical fighter, and killing opponents of higher levels is his consistent style. However, at present, Di Shitian has the ability to fight Lin Yaoxie.

Upon hearing Emperor Shitian's affirmative answer, both Xiong Ba and the Divine Mother were extremely excited. At this critical juncture, Emperor Shitian's breakthrough to the final level of the Sacred Heart Technique was a tremendous boon for them.

"If I had broken through earlier, my divine general Po Jun wouldn't have died." Emperor Shitian, who cherished talent, sighed deeply.

"Sect Master, there's no need to be sad. Now is the perfect time for you to break through. As long as you kill Lin Yaoxie, Tianmen will be able to unify the world without any worries." Xiong Ba's face showed joy, and he was very excited.

“That’s right. Now that the sect leader has mastered the final move of the Domain Sacred Heart Technique, killing Lin Yaoxie shouldn’t be too difficult.” After Di Shitian’s breakthrough, the Divine Mother had great confidence in his strength.

"If Lin Yaoxie dares to come now, I will make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

"I've arrived." This lazy voice rang in the ears of Di Shitian, Xiong Ba, and Shen Mu.

A ferocious beast engulfed in flames suddenly appeared before the three. The fire qilin was dressed in flowing white robes, its attire as pure as snow, with a blood-red divine weapon at its waist. It was like a celestial sword immortal, ethereal and otherworldly, as it approached the group.

"Lin Yaoxie!" Xiong Ba stared at the newcomer with a vicious look.

This person was none other than Lin Yaoxie, who had already been deified in the martial arts world. He arrived at Tianmen right on time, three days later.

"Xiong Ba, you really know how to hide. I let you live five more years for nothing." This time, Lin Yaoxie came alone. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were in the first space, and his wife was in the second space.

"You are Lin Yaoxie? I didn't expect you to be so young." Di Shitian stared at Lin Yaoxie with great interest, and when he saw the other's appearance, he felt a deep jealousy.

Although he was immortal, his ugly appearance could not be concealed, which was why he always wore a mask. Lin Yaoxie, on the other hand, had lived far less, at least two hundred years, yet he remained a handsome and elegant young man. In some ways, it must be said that fate was very unfair.

"Emperor Shitian?" Lin Yaoxie also looked at him, and after a long while, he murmured, "You were just a servant of Qin Shihuang. You should have gone to hell with Qin Shihuang back then, but instead you were rebellious and secretly took the elixir of immortality."

"You!" As if Lin Yaoxie had touched a sore spot, Di Shitian's cruel face twisted with anger, his tone filled with resentment: "Back then, Qin Shihuang was such a tyrant. If he had taken the elixir of immortality, how many innocent people would he have harmed?"

"Hmph." Lin Yaoxie sneered: "It's clearly you who's acting out of selfish motives and yet you're making it sound so high-sounding. Qin Shi Huang was, after all, the first emperor of all time, a historical figure who achieved unification. He took the elixir of immortality and is still alive, which is better than you, a piece of trash."

"Hahaha!" Di Shitian laughed miserably: "What a great emperor of all time! Since you admire him so much, I will kindly send you to hell so you can have your gossip."

Lin Yaoxie retorted without backing down: "Let's see how you face Qin Shi Huang after you go to hell."

"Are we going to fight or not!" After seeing the two of them dawdle for so long, Xiong Ba finally lost his patience. He couldn't wait to see Lin Yaoxie die a miserable death.

"I give you the right to choose where you die," Lin Yao said coldly.

Di Shitian, Shenmu, and Xiong Ba stopped talking and flew out the door, with Lin Yaoxie following closely behind.

After flying for about two minutes, they arrived at a relatively open area with a small grove of trees around it, where the four of them stopped.

Lin Yaoxie found the scene before him strangely familiar, and after glancing at Xiong Ba, he remembered. In the original story, Xiong Ba was killed here by Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

"They certainly know how to pick a location." Lin Yaoxie smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the competition.

Chapter 259: Emperor Shitian's Winning Over

Indra, the Goddess, and the Overlord surrounded the evil spirits in the forest.

"Lin Yaoxie, you have such cultivation at such a young age, I admire you greatly. Why don't you submit to me? From then on, you will be second only to me in the Heavenly Gate, and we can unify the martial world. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Di Shitian stared at Lin Yaoxie with burning eyes.

He had lived for a thousand years, but had never seen such a powerful prodigy as Lin Yaoxie, and thus developed a fondness for his talent.

"Sect Master, you mustn't!" Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba, who was standing nearby, objected: "Sect Master, have you forgotten your dead disciples? They were all killed by Lin Yaoxie!" Xiong Ba's words were filled with grief and indignation.

"Alas, the dead cannot be brought back to life. I have lived for a thousand years and have experienced countless partings and deaths." Emperor Shitian frowned and glanced at the Goddess: "What do you think?"

The goddess's face, wrinkled and furrowed, revealed an unpleasant smile: "As long as he's willing to come to Tianmen, of course I, this old woman, will agree."

"Hmm." Di Shitian nodded and glanced coldly at Xiong Ba, who subconsciously shut up.

Therefore, Emperor Shitian, the Goddess, and Xiong Ba all looked at Lin Yaoxie. Any decision he made at this moment would be enough to change the future course of the world.

Lin Yaoxie said calmly, "You've been talking so much nonsense, let me summarize for you. Di Shitian means you're not confident you can defeat me, so you want to win me over, right?"

"Not confident? Hmph. I merely admire your talent." Di Shitian said arrogantly, having mastered the final move of the Sacred Heart Technique, he feared no one.

"I'm just like you." Lin Yaoxie was unmoved: I'm equally confident in my strength, why should I be inferior to you? I can easily kill you all and unify the world without worry.

"Arrogant!" Di Shitian's face turned cold. Xiong Ba, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if Lin Yaoxie agreed to the conditions, he would not be able to avenge himself.

"Of course, a fight to the death might result in mutual destruction. If you're willing to cripple Xiong Ba and hand him over to me, then I might consider your terms." Lin Yaoxie looked at Xiong Ba with a wicked grin.

"You!" Xiong Ba was about to get angry, but Di Shitian stopped him: "Xiong Ba is a member of my Tianmen. If I hand him over to you today, I will face hundreds of thousands of disciples of Tianmen."

"Then there's no room for discussion." Lin Yaoxie said with a regretful expression. In fact, he was just saying it; no matter what, these three were destined to die today.

"Sect Master, please step aside. Let me go first." Xiong Ba was unusually angry, and Di Shitian nodded and stepped back a few paces. Shen Mu indicated that his Heart-Severing Drum had been placed into Lin Yaoxie's body, giving Xiong Ba a reassuring look. Xiong Ba also breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Lin Yaoxie.

"Lin Yaoxie, five years ago you seriously injured me, stole my property, kidnapped my daughter, and destroyed my gang. Now, I, Xiong Ba, will settle both the old and new scores with you."

"That's because you're not good enough, why blame me?" Lin Yaoxie shook his head dismissively.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant." As soon as Xiong Ba finished speaking, a ten-centimeter-diameter Three-Part Returning Origin Qi was already smashed towards Lin Yaoxie. This was Xiong Ba's usual trick, launching a sneak attack while chatting and laughing.
