75: C75 Bureau Chief

C75 Bureau Chief

"Gao Meng is an elite of the army. He did something wrong because of the temptation. I'm willing to give him a chance to change his mind. I don't want the Black Dragon Guard to lose such an elite.

However, things did not go according to his wishes. Lord Lin Xiao did not stop Gao Meng in time. I was forced to defend myself and counterattack. I accidentally killed Gao Meng. This lowly one feels ashamed in his heart. Lord, please punish me!"

When Yuen Jiang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Punish me? Crimes my ass, hearing what you said, from beginning to end... You are the victim, alright? If I defend myself because of you... I'll punish you. You don't need to leave this tent tomorrow. My name as the muddle-headed marshal will probably be spread out immediately!

As the marshal, Yuen Jiang naturally cherished his feathers.

However, he could also tell that Lin Fann's words were indeed quite exaggerated. You, an ordinary Qi Cultivating Level Four soldier, retaliated in self-defense. You actually slapped a Qi Cultivating Level Seven captain to death.

If such a thing was told to the public, even ghosts would not believe it!

The corner of Yuen Jiang's mouth twitched. Was this Lin Fann looking down on his intelligence?

However, Lin Fann's Qi Cultivating Level Four realm was indeed a good disguise.

It was normal for an ordinary soldier to kill a sergeant in self-defense and in a moment of desperation. It was not incomprehensible.

Yuen Jiang felt anxious for Lin Xiao's intelligence. His cultivation level was not bad, but he did not have many schemes. If it was him, he wouldn't care if he killed Lin Fann first. He didn't want to be the one to suffer in the end. Not only did he not gain anything, he would also be humiliated again and again.

"Lin Xiao, what else do you have to say about this matter? As a commander, you didn't fulfill the responsibility of being a commander. Gao Meng's death, you should bear the corresponding responsibility!"

Yuen Jiang's voice was calm and steady. Although he looked at Lin Xiao with pity and sympathy, he felt that there was nothing he could do.

"Lin Fann, I will fight you to the death!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. He never thought that he would fall into Lin Fann's trap again. He raised his palm and slammed it towards Lin Fann.

Lin Fann was calm and composed. He stood on the spot without any intention of dodging.

"Stop, Lin Xiao!" As the marshal, how could Yuen Jiang watch Lin Xiao commit murder in his own tent?

A faint fluctuation of law came out and stopped Lin Xiao.

Yuen Jiang sighed in his heart at the same time. This Lin Fann's ability to scheme was indeed amazing, even he was tricked.

"Lin Xiao, you have the nerve to commit murder in front of the marshal. Could it be that you don't take the marshal's pressure seriously?" Lin Fann made use of this as an excuse. He did not even give Lin Xiao a chance to speak.

Yuen Jiang sighed lightly. He originally wanted to bring this matter over and give Lin Xiao some punishment.

After Lin Fann said this, if he couldn't punish Lin Xiao severely, he wouldn't be able to convince the public!

"Lin Xiao, do you plead guilty?" Yuen Jiang's voice was faint, but it was filled with an unquestionable dignity.

Lin Xiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Master, I am innocent!"

"I have seen right and wrong in my eyes. Whether you are wronged or not, I know in my heart. This time, you are guilty of dereliction of duty. What you did just now was a little too extreme.

However, since you have just joined the army and are not familiar with the rules of the army, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. I will temporarily seal your cultivation and suppress it to the 9th level of Qi Fostering.

If you fight with Lin Fann once, let Lin Fann gain some combat experience as compensation!"

Yuen Jiang's tone was indifferent, but there was an unquestionable tone to it.

Lin Fann's heart suddenly tightened. He understood that this was a trap set by Yuen Jiang to force him to reveal his full cultivation base.

However, Lin Fann didn't panic. This match was exactly what he wanted.

Under the body refinement stage, Lin Fann wouldn't be afraid of any opponent.

This battle was the best opportunity for him to kill Lin Xiao.

Although Lin Xiao was often schemed against by Lin Fann, he had been the Seventh Elder of the 81st branch of the Lin family for many years. He had survived the clash of power and conspiracies, and had even won the chance to rise to the top.

He was no match for Lin Fann, who had lived for more than 8,000 years. However, he could see through Yuen Jiang's intention with a single glance.

He often plotted, wanting to borrow the hands of others to get rid of Lin Fann. He never thought that karma would fall on him this time.

This time, he had become someone else's knife. He had been forced into a dead end. Lin Xiao sensed that the space around him had already been frozen by the faint aura of the Laws. As long as he dared to say no, Yuen Jiang could use the excuse of disobeying military orders. He would crush him to death!

"I never thought that in my life, I would want to use someone else to kill me, but in the end, I would become someone else's knife." Lin Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that he had been forced to the end of the road.

"I never thought that Yuen Jiang would use a simple chess move to plot against both of us!" Lin Fann felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that he had still underestimated Yuen Jiang's wisdom.

However, he could not reject the offer that Yuen Jiang made! This was the military camp. As the marshal, Yuen Jiang's orders were like the will of heaven and earth, and could not be disobeyed.

"Alright! I accept!" Lin Fann was magnanimous and did not reject it in the slightest. Rather than struggling for no reason, it was better to face it calmly.

"Marshal, I accept too!" Lin Xiao finally reacted. He had been forced into a dead end. Other than fighting Lin Fann head-on, he had no other way out.

"Alright! Since that's the case, then all of you can go to the life and death arena!" Yuen Jiang clapped his hands and stood up.

Life and death were divided by life and death on the life and death arena. Only one of the two could walk down smoothly. The loser had to leave his corpse on the arena forever. Only the victor could walk down from the arena.

Once the life and death arena was opened, external forces would not be able to interfere with it.

Lin Fann took a deep look at Yuen Jiang. He did not expect that this general, who had nothing to do with him, would have such strong killing intent towards him.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Black Tortoise City, Black Dragon Guard military camp. On the life and death arena, Lin Fann and Lin Xiao faced each other. Among them, Lin Xiao had a spiritual energy shackle on his back. It was blue and transparent, but it could suppress the magic in Lin Xiao's body. It had stopped at the ninth level of Qi Fostering.

The life and death arena was built on top of a cylindrical tower. It was dozens of meters tall and had a radius of 30 meters. It was not big. Outside the life and death arena, there was a layer of ice-blue Light Membrane. The water rippled and rippled.

The surroundings of the life and death arena were engraved with carvings of ferocious beasts. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they were alive.

Around the life and death arena, there were thousands of seats for the audience. At this moment, there was not a single empty seat.

Whether it was Lin Fann or Lin Xiao, both of them had a great reputation in the army.

One of them was a hero who had just made a great contribution, and had led two teams to conquer the South Phoenix Mountain. The other was a body refining sixth level expert as soon as he joined the army. It was rare.

More importantly, whether it was Lin Fann or Lin Xiao, they could be counted as Lin family's Prodigy. The only difference was that Lin Xiao was one of the outstanding geniuses of the previous generation of the Lin family, and Lin Fann was one of the most popular stars in this generation.

"What a pity. After this battle, the Lin family will surely lose a genius of the Prodigy!" On the spectating platform, Black Stone King was sitting in the first row. As the City Lord of Black Tortoise City, he naturally sat in the first row with Yuen Jiang.

He had a pretty good impression of Lin Fann. Being able to survive Lin Xiao's scheme was already admirable.

Yuen Jiang remained silent. He was even more afraid of Lin Fann. It wasn't just Master Xue Teng who had ordered him not to do anything to Lin Fann on the surface. Even Black Stone King, who he couldn't figure out, showed a trace of admiration and kinship to Lin Fann.

In Black Tortoise City, Black Stone King's meaning wasn't just a mere Dao Building Stage warrior. He was the messenger of Human Alliance, and he represented the attitude of the entire Human Alliance.

"Almost everyone is here, and it's time! Let the two of them go to war!" Yuen Jiang's voice was faint, but it clearly fell into Lin Fann and Lin Xiao's ears.

Everyone on the spectating platform held their breaths. Everyone was looking forward to the shocking battle between the two geniuses of Lin family.

"Let's fight! As an elder of Lin family, I won't take advantage of you!" Lin Xiao seemed to be confident. His tone was indifferent, revealing a trace of magnanimity and indifference.

Where did his confidence come from?

A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Fann's heart. His combat strength had been suppressed to the ninth level of Qi Fostering. Logically speaking, Lin Xiao should have been cautious in fighting.

However, since Lin Xiao had said so, Lin Fann naturally wouldn't refuse his good intentions.

The surface of Lin Fann's body had already revealed the aura of a Qi Cultivating Level Four. He raised his palm, and a faint image of a Heavenly Monument condensed and formed. It then smashed violently in Lin Xiao's direction.1

The Heavenly Monument stood tall, as if it was standing at the end of the sky.

A section of the Heavenly Monument seemed to be able to crush a dome of heaven.

This time, Lin Fann used his most powerful killing move, unleashing nearly twenty percent of the true meaning of the Heavenly Monument Hand.

When the Heavenly Monument fell, the sky seemed to tremble. Even a peak Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator would not be able to withstand it!

This was because this was no longer just the power of his cultivation base. There was even a faint trace of the dignity of the world mixed within.

The Heavenly Monument pushed horizontally, and everyone in the audience's hearts were hanging high up in the air. They never thought that the battle between the two geniuses of Lin family would become so exciting from the very beginning.

"Heavenly Monument Hand? Lin Xiao's lips curved into a mocking smile. He had already seen Lin Fann's Heavenly Monument Hand several times, and he had already thought of a way to break it. His hand moved, and the surrounding space started to ripple.

The space rippled, and the Heavenly Monument broke into pieces, inch by inch, turning into powder!

"Spatial Force! I never thought that Lin Xiao would actually comprehend this kind of Force of the Heavens and Earth!"

Yuen Jiang suddenly stood up. Although Lin Xiao's cultivation base was suppressed, his understanding of the Dao didn't decrease at all!

There were ten thousand Laws, and there was a limit to them. The life and death of time and space were all ranked in the King's Forest, which was a whole level higher than the other ordinary Laws.

"Spatial Force!" Lin Fann's expression was serious. He did not take the shattering of the Heavenly Monument seriously.

Space and time life and death were the rarest laws. Even in his previous life, he had never seen anyone who could successfully comprehend the Spatial Laws. No wonder Lin Xiao was so fearless. It turned out that he had hidden such a trump card. If the spatial law was formed into a domain, it would be ten thousand times stronger than the others! It wouldn't even be able to penetrate ordinary laws!

"Spatial Blade!" Lin Xiao softly muttered as another spatial force struck out.

The shattering ripple just now was a defensive move. This time, the Spatial Edge was purely an attack.

Lin Fann quickly retreated. Before he could completely disappear from where he stood, the afterimage was already torn apart by a spatial rift.

The Spatial Edge was known as the number one attack amongst all the major powers in the world.

Not only was it impossible to guard against, it was also capable of tearing the heavens and splitting the earth!

"This time, it should be the Lin family's Lin Fann who lost! Who would have thought that Lin Xiao would actually comprehend the Spatial Force? Although his cultivation base was suppressed at the ninth level of Qi Fostering. However, his means were sufficient to kill the Body Refining Cultivator. It wasn't that Lin Fann wasn't a genius, but that Lin Xiao was too monstrous!"
