The fierce battle was in full swing.
Payne Shang thrust out his sword, its ferocious force so intense it was almost impossible to surpass even Quentin Shang’s fist!
A thunderous explosion echoed through the air.
Everyone saw Payne Shang’s mountain-crushing strike get shattered by Quentin Shang, who charged forward and scattered the force with a single punch.
The longsword Payne had condensed in his hand was grabbed directly by Quentin, who caught the blade in his palm!
“Up you go!”
Payne Shang roared again and again, his heart full of terror as waves of shock crashed through him.
Even if Quentin Shang were alive, he’d never dare take a sword head-on like this, let alone what was happening now—he was literally blocking Payne’s attack with his body!
The other Pointing-to-Mystery experts didn’t hesitate anymore. They rushed forward, not caring if ganging up would ruin the Shang family’s reputation.
All they wanted was to finish off Quentin Shang as soon as possible, then tear that so-called Master Lin from Seacrest limb from limb!
“Even if he’s a Life-and-Death Mage, there’s no way he’ll walk out of the Shang family’s territory alive!”
Walter Shang’s face was full of venom and malice as he stared at Evan Lin, his gaze flickering. “With talent like yours, why not go to the Rowe clan and beg for forgiveness?”
“You may have killed a Rowe clan elder, but Ancient Martial Clans always appreciate talent. If you sincerely apologize, the Rowe clan might even spare your life!”
On the battlefield, Payne Shang and two other Pointing-to-Mystery experts faced off against Quentin Shang. The surging force shattered the ground and churned the clouds, making it feel like the end of the world was upon them. The spectators were terrified.
But for now, it was impossible to tell who would win or lose.
Three Pointing-to-Mystery experts still couldn’t take down Quentin Shang!
Even if Walter Shang didn’t say it, everyone around understood just how terrifying Master Lin from Seacrest was.
Walter Shang looked calm on the surface, but deep down he was anything but at ease.
He’d originally thought Master Lin from Seacrest was just another nobody. As long as they captured Old Man Liu and lured him over, then closed the doors and beat him like a dog, everything would be fine—and they could report to the Rowe clan, too.
But he never expected that the other side would be so fearless, showing up alone!
Now, with Quentin Shang holding his own against three Pointing-to-Mystery experts, Walter Shang’s heart was trembling. Especially seeing that calm-faced youth standing there—he honestly had no confidence he could beat him.
“The Rowe clan isn’t qualified to get an apology from me.”
Evan Lin shook his head. “As for you, I gave you a chance to come out and kneel in welcome just now. Too bad you missed it.”
“Since that’s how it is, you might as well just wait to die. No need for any more talk.”
Hearing Evan’s words, Walter Shang’s face instantly turned cold. He made a gesture to the people behind him, telling them to notify the Rowe clan.
He knew perfectly well that even if they notified the Rowe clan now, it was useless—the Rowe people couldn’t possibly arrive in time.
“You may be a Life-and-Death Mage, but as far as I know, Life-and-Death Mages are good at mystic arts and strange tricks. But if a Pointing-to-Mystery expert gets close, you’re just a corpse.”
Walter Shang spoke coldly: “Don’t tell me you think, just by having Quentin Shang’s body block in front of you, you can sit back and relax behind him?”
Right now, the space in front of Walter Shang was completely filled with surging force.
Quentin Shang and Payne Shang traded blows, their force tearing through the air like a raging river, blocking Evan Lin’s path.
Even if Walter Shang wanted to sneak in quietly and get close to Evan Lin, it was nearly impossible.
Quentin Shang’s combat power was honestly shocking.
One man holding his own against three Pointing-to-Mystery experts—if word got out, it’d cause a huge stir.
Evan Lin didn’t bother speaking anymore. He couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Walter Shang’s expression kept shifting as he clenched his fists.
Right in front of them...
The fighters locked in chaotic battle suddenly erupted in a series of violent shocks.
The very next moment...
Everyone saw Quentin Shang’s five fingers turn into a claw, black qi gathering at his fingertips. He reached out with one hand, breaking through layers of force—letting the wind tear the flesh from his arm—and slammed straight into Payne Shang’s chest with unstoppable momentum.
The strike landed.
Payne Shang was caught off guard and sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth. His face went slack, his inner force shattered—he was as good as dead.
One Pointing-to-Mystery expert was down, and the other two immediately lost the will to fight. Quentin Shang, at the cost of one arm, killed both of them on the spot.
The tide of battle turned in just a few breaths.
Seeing Payne Shang and the others die so horribly, everyone else was struck with panic.
After his success, Quentin Shang threw his head back and howled, looking even more chilling. His whole body radiated a savage air—he’d lost an arm, but there wasn’t a hint of defeat in him.
“He took out three Pointing-to-Mystery experts by himself!”
“We’re doomed. Is the Shang family really finished this time?”
“What the hell… What is that thing?!”
The crowd erupted, voices surging like a tide.
All those voices made Walter Shang’s face look even worse.
He stared at the youth standing not far away, who still hadn’t moved an inch. “Are you really going to take things this far?”
Walter Shang’s voice was full of anger, but he was still struggling to keep his emotions in check.
Three Pointing-to-Mystery experts!
Looking at the corpses of Payne Shang and the others sprawled on the ground, Walter Shang’s heart bled.
These were the Shang family’s strongest fighters.
Now, they’d all fallen here.
Even if the Shang family managed to kill Master Lin from Seacrest today, this loss alone would be enough to doom them!
“Those who bully the weak deserve to be cut down.”
Evan Lin’s voice was calm. “Frankly, trash like you isn’t even worth my anger.”
“After killing Shang Yueshan, I’d hoped to let things end there and never ask more.”
“But since you dared to go to Yanjing and capture my teacher, and hurt my people, you’d better be ready to die today.”
Evan Lin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze toward Walter Shang calm and unperturbed.
His words carried the air of an elder lecturing a junior.
If Evan Lin didn’t look so absurdly young, everyone would have thought he was some legendary figure who’d been famous for decades.
“You’d make an enemy of the Shang family—and even the entire Rowe clan—for some worthless schoolteacher?”
Walter Shang’s face twisted as he pointed at Old Man Liu, who looked utterly defeated. “Just for this old man? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“You really think it’s worth it? Are you out of your mind?”
He roared, unable to understand.
He couldn’t understand why this youth was so strong, or why someone so powerful would risk everything for a worthless schoolteacher.
“Everything I do, I do from the heart.”
Evan Lin spoke lightly: “As for whether it’s worth it or not—if I think it’s worth it, then it is.”
“Fine, fine, fine!”
Hearing Evan Lin’s words, Walter Shang spat out three ‘fine’s in a row.
Then he suddenly took a deep breath, drew a pill from his sleeve, and swallowed it without hesitation.
Moments later, blood-red light flooded Walter Shang’s eyes as he stepped forward.
With that step, the sky seemed to change.
“So be it!”
Walter Shang’s voice was shrill as a demon’s: “Then I’ll personally send you to Hell!”
“Using this Hellbound Overdrive Pill on someone like you is still worth it!”
“Worth it. Worth it!”
His face was wild, muscles bulging like coiled dragons!
