Top-Tier Superpower Student

Lin Tianyi stomped on Jiang Hong's arm, breaking it, which frightened Jiang Yun so much that he cried out, "Big brother, come save me, just give him the pearl, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Younger brother, don't beg him," Jiang Hong said through gritted teeth, enduring the intense pain. In contrast to Jiang Yun, Jiang Hong was more of a man.

After hearing that, Jiang Qing angrily said, "Younger brother, you've deeply disappointed your big brother. We, the descendants of the Jiang Family, will never bow to anyone."

Jiang Yun, mortified, held back his words.

"Jiang Family's descendants will not bow to anyone."

Hmph!

Lin Tian sneered; today this head would have to bow, willingly or not.

"Hand over the pearl," he roared.

The Godslayer Sword was already in his palm, resting against Jiang Hong's throat.

Jiang Hong's pupils dilated rapidly, he swallowed hard several times and cold sweat streamed down his face all at once.

He was terrified, but he suppressed his fear, refusing to disgrace the Jiang Family.

"Will you release him or not?"

Lin Tian spoke, with the life and death of Jiang Hong hanging by a thread.

Jiang Qing said angrily, "You dare to kill a son of the Jiang Family; are you not afraid of our family's retribution?"

Even at this juncture, to still dare to use the Jiang Family as a threat against Lin Tian was simply absurd.

Although Lin Tian was reluctant to become enemies with the Jiang Family, the pearl was something He Qianqian cherished, and he had to retrieve it at all costs.

Since Jiang Qing was so stubborn, only blood could awaken him.

Lin Tian fixed his gaze on him, the Godslayer Sword fierce and mighty, as he slashed down towards Jiang Hong.

Not far away, Jiang Qing saw Lin Tian's terrifying gaze, a look that made him shiver and his heart quake.

The Godslayer Sword cleaved down mercilessly, with Jiang Hong's fate hanging in Lin Tian's hands.

"Wait!"

Jiang Qing bellowed, and the Godslayer Sword stopped just three centimeters away from Jiang Hong's neck; if he had been any later, Jiang Hong would already be a headless corpse.

The might of the Jiang Family was overwhelming; everyone who encountered them trembled with fear, but Jiang Qing never imagined that Lin Tian would truly dare to kill Jiang Hong.

The Pearl was an exotic treasure, but even in the face of powerful artifacts, his brother's life was more important.

Now, handing over the Pearl to Lin Tian, they could later find out Lin Tian's background and take the Pearl back. In Jiang Qing's mind, the Pearl must belong to their Jiang Family, and Lin Tian must die.

"You've made up your mind!" Lin Tian said indifferently, his tone filled with threatening overtones.

Grinding his teeth, Jiang Qing took out the Pearl and said, "You can take the Pearl; we'll make a move together. I hand over the Pearl, and you release my two brothers."

"You hand over the Pearl to me first, and then I will release your brothers," said Lin Tian.

"Kid, don't go too far. What if I give you the Pearl and you don't release them?" Anger flickered in Jiang Qing's eyes.

Lin Tian said, "I have said that my purpose today is only for the Pearl. I don't intend to kill anyone; hand over the Pearl, and I will release them."

Immediately after, a flash of anger passed through his eyes.

"To retreat ten thousand steps, in my presence, you have no choice," he said.

He unconsciously moved the tip of the sword, intimidating Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing, furious, his face turning a shade of iron blue and his features contorting, was helpless. In the end, he reluctantly shook his head and tossed the Pearl over.

Lin Tian reached out to catch it, securing the Pearl firmly in his palm.

He was extremely pleased; after several great battles and a journey around Ghost Gate, the Pearl was finally back in his possession.

Thinking of He Qianqian's expression when she saw the Pearl again, he felt delighted.

"I've got the Pearl now; release my brother," Jiang Qing roared.

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "No rush; once we leave the Jiang Family, I'll release them."

"Speak," he said as he stretched out both hands, one holding Jiang Yun, the other holding Jiang Hong, and slowly walked out of the Jiang Family.

He had to get beyond the range of the Array's attack before he could release these two hostages.

Once out of the Jiang Family, Jiang Qing followed behind, gnashing his teeth in fury. Then, Lin Tian dropped the Jiang brothers, Jiang Hong and Jiang Yun, on the ground and took out the Subduing Dragon Zither again.

While retreating, he played the zither and said,

"I came here today to seize Pearl, with no intention of making enemies with anyone. However, if you seek trouble with me, I am not afraid to fight you."

"Also, I am not a pushover, let this be a warning for any future confrontations!"

Zing, zing, zing...!

The zither music rose again, the wild wind howled, and chilly gusts surged as if countless Immortal Swords gleamed forth, fiercely slashing towards the nearby woods.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

…, ….

Sudden thunderous noises erupted as over a hundred large trees simultaneously snapped, the overbearing sound of the zither stirring the entire forest.

Everyone was shocked, and by the time they turned their heads, Lin Tian had already vanished.

Jiang Yun helped Jiang Hong up, and they staggered over to Jiang Qing. The two were very angry, especially Jiang Hong who had been previously seriously injured, and now had lost an arm.

"Big brother, what do we do?" Jiang Hong asked angrily.

Jiang Qing clenched his fists so hard that his molars crackled.

"Find out this man's background. I, Jiang Qing, have an irreconcilable feud with him. I swear in this lifetime, if I do not kill him, I will not consider myself human!"

"Yes!"

…, ….

Lin Tian returned to the hotel with Pearl.

"Husband, what happened to you?"

He Qianqian was shocked when she saw Lin Tian, exclaiming in alarm.

At that moment, Lin Tian looked completely different from a few hours ago. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered in dried blood, and he was riddled with wounds—it was evident he had just been through a major battle.

Lin Tian smiled, reached out his hand to take out the pearl, and placed it in front of He Qianqian. "Look, Pearl has been retrieved. Do you like it?"

He Qianqian instantly guessed that Lin Tian must have had a big fight over seizing Pearl.

Thinking of this, her tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Wu wu wu wu…!"

She cried, crying very sadly.

"Husband, I don't want you to risk yourself for me in the future. Pearl is not important, nothing is important, I just want you to live well and be safe!"

She said, then threw herself into Lin Tian's embrace.

Lin Tian hugged her and kissed her, saying with a smile, "Husband is fine; see, I am alright, aren't I? Look at this pearl, this is a real pearl."

He Qianqian smiled, and then her gaze lingered on the pearl. It was something she liked, and seeing the pearl, she smiled genuinely from her heart.

Seeing his wife smile, Lin Tian felt completely satisfied. Everything he had done was worth it.

He said, "My dear, let's leave this place and go back to Wu'an City. We'll go to your jewelry store and make you a pearl necklace."

"Mhm, okay!"

He Qianqian nodded her head, then followed Lin Tian, leaving the hotel to return to Wu'an City.
