A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Despite appearing to be coughing up blood, Lin Xiu still maintained a bright smile.

"You're even going to heal my wounds, you're such a kind person!"

"How about this?"

"My conditions are the same. If you are willing to let Wang Teng stay in my Tianxuan Holy Land for a while and call me grandfather again, I will grant him a promise. Even if he fails in the future struggle for the Emperor's Road, I will spare his life. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the half-step Great Power of the Wang family.

"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"I already investigated! The Dao Lord is not here! By the time the Dao Lord received the news and arrived, you would have already been taken away by me!"

"So arrogant, undergoing a tribulation without even bringing a protector! He deserves this calamity!"

As he spoke, the half-step Great Power expert from the Wang family raised his hand, and a large hand of magical power condensed, grabbing towards Lin Xiu!

This is one of the common moves used by veteran grunts in fantasy worlds.

Commonly known as the "Big Black Hand"!

Chapter 198 My nephew Wang Teng has the bearing of an emperor!

Inside the pit, Lin Xiu looked at the large black hand that had grabbed him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

When Wang Chengshan saw the smile on Lin Xiu's lips, alarm bells went off in his mind. He abruptly withdrew his hand, retreated rapidly, and distanced himself from Lin Xiu.

Seeing the reaction of the Wang family's half-step great power, Lin Xiu shook his head helplessly and coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood. Golden blood dripped down his chin, staining his clothes red.

"Ahem... Elder Wang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Didn't you just say you were going to take me to the Wang family for recuperation?"

Wang Chengshan's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Lin Xiu.

"You...you're faking it?"

Lin Xiu raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned.

"Pretend? I was indeed attacked by nine phantom emperors and suffered unprecedented damage."

"Whether it's the golden holy blood or the damaged essence, it's all genuine."

"only......"

Even so, so what?

"Suppressing a half-step Great Power is as easy as using one hand!"

Lin Xiu chuckled and raised his right hand.

In the next instant, a phantom mountain materialized in his palm. The mountain was shrouded in chaotic energy, and the unique Daoist charm of Purple Mountain and the continuous mountain range of the 108 peaks of Tai Xuan were faintly visible.

[Embracing the Mountain Seal!]

Lin Xiu raised his hand and pointed, and the Mountain-Embracing Seal instantly flew out of his hand.

The Baoshan Seal, imbued with unparalleled mountain power, instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall giant peak, pressing down on Wang Chengshan!

Wang Chengshan was horrified and frantically channeled his magic power, summoning an ancient shield to defend himself.

"boom!"

The giant peak fell, and the ancient shield shattered instantly.

Wang Chengshan was suppressed by the mountain's force, lying face down on the ground, unable to move.

"No...impossible!"

"I am a supreme expert at the peak of the half-step Great Power! You have just completed your tribulation! How could you possibly unleash such astonishing combat power with such severe injuries!"

Wang Chengshan struggled frantically, his eyes filled with disbelief.

However, all his struggles were in vain. All his strength was annihilated by the Five Elements power of Mount Tai, and he was like Sun Wukong, who was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain, with nothing left but impotent rage.

Lin Xiu walked up to him, squatted down, and patted his face.

"Elder Wang, times have changed."

"An old codger like you who can't even break through to the Great Power realm should just obediently become a stepping stone for the younger generation."

"By the way, if I were to use you as a hostage and demand that Wang Teng come in person, do you think he would come?" Lin Xiu was still looking forward to meeting Wang Teng.

Wang Chengshan still looked indignant.

"Humph!"

"My imperial son will easily suppress you! He will use your corpse to prove his path to becoming an emperor!"

Although Wang Chengshan was suppressed, he still looked defiant towards Lin Xiu.

Because... he believed Wang Teng would win!

He lost, but that's his personal matter and has nothing to do with Wang Teng.

If Wang Teng were to make a move, he could easily suppress Lin Xiu!

Wang Tengying = Wang Jiaying!

Wang Jiaying = He wins!

Even if we don't win now, we will win in the future!

Since we will win in the future, there is no need to act like a loser.

Winning is all that matters!

.......

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu hadn't expected that the Wang family members were also well-versed in the Great Completion of Winning Strategies. He shook his head and asked in return:

"Your clan's imperial son? Has the Wang family ever produced an emperor?"

Wang Chengshan: "......."

"Hmph! My nephew Wang Teng has inherited the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor and obtained the Nine Secrets of the Ancient Heavenly Venerable. Becoming an emperor is only a matter of time!"

Lin Xiu had no intention of arguing with a member of the Wang family who was obsessed with winning.

"Alright~ I really can't compete with a prodigy like Wang Teng who is destined to become an emperor."

"It seems that I have no choice but to suppress it with imperial weapons."

"you!"

"Shameless! The younger generation is vying for power, and they actually think of using imperial weapons to intimidate each other!"

Wang Chengshan was getting anxious.

After all, the Wang family truly doesn't possess any imperial weapons!

"Oh?"

"What's the difference between me using an imperial weapon to suppress someone and you just planning to use your cultivation level to suppress someone?"

Wang Chengshan: "........."

"Speechless now? I thought your double standards would last a while longer~"

As he spoke, Lin Xiu raised his hand and pointed, sending a sealing divine rune into Wang Chengshan's body, completely suppressing him.

When Lin Xiu's power entered his body, Wang Chengshan realized how outrageous his previous thoughts had been.

Lin Xiu's divine runes were incredibly powerful, incorporating his Dao and Dharma. Despite his cultivation level having only just entered the Immortal Platform realm, they could easily seal him completely.

This proves once again that Lin Xiu's raw strength is far superior to his!

Realizing this, Wang Chengshan turned ashen-faced, with only a sliver of hope remaining in his heart.

[My nephew Wang Teng, you must suppress this unprecedented enemy! Avenge your uncle!]

Wang Chengshan remembered that Wang Teng's cultivation level was several steps higher than Lin Xiu's, and Wang Teng had even entered the Eight Forbidden Realms, making him no match for Lin Xiu.

We will win!

As long as Lin Xiu doesn't use his Emperor Weapon, Wang Teng will definitely win!

If Lin Xiu uses imperial weapons?

Forehead.....

The Wang family must have thought of this, and may have already sought a marriage alliance with some imperial family!

.......

Within the holy city, countless gazes turned toward the direction where the tribulation clouds had dissipated.

"What was that just now? It looked like they were fighting again?"

"It's the Embracing Mountain Seal! I saw a phantom of a mountain descending from the sky!"

"Wasn't Lin Xiu critically injured and on the verge of death? How can he still use supernatural powers?"

"Is he faking it?"

"Impossible! With nine emperor figures appearing simultaneously, it's a miracle he survived. How could he possibly still have the strength to fight?"

"Then how do you explain the Baoshan Seal from earlier?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion and speculation.

Some of the older generation looked thoughtful, their eyes darting around.

"This child... is probably more terrifying than we imagined."

"To survive the Nine Emperors' Heavenly Tribulation and still have the strength to fight, this combat power... is no less than that of the young emperor."

"That half-step Great Power from the Wang family is probably doomed."

"Serves him right! Taking advantage of someone in distress, he deserves to die!"

"However, Lin Xiu's actions are likely to offend the Northern Plains royal family."

"So what if we offend him? With the talent he's shown today, as long as he doesn't die young, he's bound to become a powerful figure in the future. Does the Wang family dare to touch him?"

"Besides, Lin Xiu is a hero promoted by our Eastern Wilderness. He will have to fight the Northern Emperor of the Northern Plains sooner or later!"
