Chapter 2149 - An Insult to My Standards

Ahhh! Lin Jianchen screeched in pain as Flint Infernal Impulse and Imperial Sword Prison flowed into his body and entered his organs. His screeches turned more shrill as his body began to flash red and gold.

You. He looked through the mirage and saw a white-haired youth drawing a black sword.

You what you? Can you understand it? Tianming played with his swords as he looked at Lin Jianchen with schadenfreude. Then he turned his attention away to watch the rest of the patrol crumble before his lifebound beasts frenzied attacks. All of them had ended up with worse injuries than Lin Jianchen.

The Infinitum Duel had ended very fast; the entire patrol was moaning on the ground. Victory had already been decided, so Tianming summoned back his lifebound beasts.

The Lin Feng of before and after the battle seemed like two completely different people. After the battle, just his gaze was enough to give people discomfort. It was a gaze used to being filled with unshakable arrogance.

Lin Jianchens team was all defeated?

Was it due to a difference in weapon quality?

Honestly, its amazing how he could use a fullstella battle art.

Did you notice how fierce his lifebound beasts were?

The battle had made everyones expressions twist. Most could only grit their teeth and mutely stare at Tianming.

Is he going to kill them...?

Lin Jianchen!

Its useless, its an Infinitum Duel! How sly! He knew Lin Jianchen and the rest werent his opponents, so he pretended to be stupid to entrap them!

Right, hes a hundred years old, so he cant be that useless. But even if hes stronger than Lin Jianchen, that doesnt mean he can force himself on young women.

A heated discussion took place outside the Infinitum Bodhimanda.

Hes so ruthless, hell definitely kill Lin Jianchen.

Its over. He wont be punished since its an Infinitum Duel.

Such a tragedy for those hot-blooded young men.

Brothers, lets be honest. You wanted to kill me just now for a shot at glory, right? Tianming smiled.

Lin Jianchen tried pus.h.i.+ng himself off the ground, but Tianmings foot kept him firmly planted to the floor. It was sheer humiliation.

I asked you a question, Tianming said.

Yes! I wanted to kill you! Your father is the sinner of our clan! Youre arrogant and humiliated your own clan members! You deserve death! Lin Jianchen clenched his teeth.

How smart, you still know to try and have the moral high ground now. Tianming shrugged. Then, as everyone watched, he put away his sword. Let me be honest, I wont kill any of you. Im different from you all. Thats because I returned to the Lin Clan to make up for my fathers regrets, not to kill people.

He spoke elegantly, as well as with a rare air of a superior, which made his words sound believable. That made many people realize that regardless of whether Lin Feng was a scoundrel, he wasnt a useless rich kid at least.

I think the Infinitum Duel can end now. What about you all?

Lin Jianchen breathed in deep. He had shown a hard front just now, but he was actually shaking inside. He was afraid of death! Hence, he no longer tried to bluff when Tianming spared him and the entire patrol admitted defeat.

The canopy vanished and they all weakly collapsed, while Tianming was smiling. Everything had gone according to plan.

Im sorry for bothering everyone. On behalf of the Myriadsword Emporium, I apologize to all of you. Tianming gave a deep bow, making the audience that had been insulting him embarra.s.sed.

Right! A sparkling thing shot out as the G.o.dsin turned into a chain. It flew over a kilometer and wrapped around a womans body. With a shrill shriek, she was pulled over to Tianming and seized by him.

The woman desperately struggled as she tried to seek help. It was Lin Xingqing.

Let go of her, Lin Feng! Lin Jianchen angrily rose to his feet.

Many Lin Clan disciples were similarly outraged again.

Dont get angry just yet, everyone. Tianming took Lin Xingqings spatial ring and retrieved a tea kettle from it. I believe everyone has the judgment to tell right from wrong, so give me a chance to explain. I know that the weak will always have everyones sympathy, but sympathy may not be a good thing as it introduces bias. If someone used your empathy and sense of justice to frame someone and the person in question is executed, youll all be accomplices, Tianming said.

Release her first!

Let him speak!

Although it was chaotic, Tianming was happy to hear that people were willing to give him the chance to speak.

Just now, without any cause, Miss Xingqing ran out from my cultivation room and called over four of her friends before saying I a.s.saulted her. To explain how she escaped, she said that she forced me back, and that was what made my a.s.sault fail! I know that she said that so that, at the same time as framing me, she could protect her reputation as well.

Many people had heard about Lin Xingqing forcing Tianming back, as she had emphasized it to keep her reputation pure. However, her plan had hinged on Tianming being a twelfth-level solarian. There were no others on Ebonia over the age of a hundred who could defeat Lin Jianchens group as a twelfth-level solarian. Furthermore, Lin Jianchen could fight above his level as well!

Thus, Tianming had used battle to prove his might.

He easily held up Lin Xingqing. Actually, just think it through. If I was so l.u.s.tful and wanted to play with a subordinate on my first day of work, how could a little eleventh-level solarian escape me and beat me back? If she made a noise, I could easily kill her! After all, my reputation is quite important too, no?

I know what everyone wants to say. Why would a girl try so hard to entrap me? The answer is simple. Anyone from the Hall of Discipline can do an investigation regarding Lin Xingqing and these four ladies relations.h.i.+p with Lin Jianchens team. I dont believe no one has seen them together, perhaps on dates, or maybe on anything else. One side wants beauties while the other wants support.

Finally! Tianming lifted the tea kettle from before, visibly taking it out from Lin Xingqings spatial ring. I bet she wouldve gotten rid of this as soon as I was brought back to the Hall of Discipline. But unfortunately, she didnt get the chance. This kettle held the tea she made for me. Im sure it'll be very easy to find out what drug is mixed inside, as well as where it was sold, and who bought it. Everything can be tracked and none of it can stand up to scrutiny. I think everyone gets what I'm saying. Im very hated because of my father, so who wouldnt want to mess with me as soon as I returned?

And last, but definitely not least, my three wives were listed on the daisy ranking yesterday. Theyre all beautiful infinitum-cla.s.s geniuses. I spend every night in bliss. Such an ordinary woman is really an insult to my standards. Tianming tossed Lin Xingqing away, who fell onto the ground and began sobbing.

???e?????vl.?o?

Lin Jianchen and his group had turned pale. From the suspicion in the audiences eyes, it was clear that Lin Jianchen had failed.

The looks at Tianming had changed.

Lin Feng? Not bad.

He managed to safely get out of such a scheme.

Honestly, if he only had the strength of a twelfth-level solarian, he wouldnt have escaped this defamation.

Yes, if he didnt have the strength, the drug wouldve addled his mind and hed have been dragged to the Hall of Discipline, where hed be judged as guilty.

If he hadnt initiated a duel, no one wouldve believed a word of his.

Everyone would only have rolled their eyes.

Honestly, power was the only way to break out of this trap.

Who would have thought that this wastrel could fight three levels above him?

Regardless of anything else, Tianmings performance had given him a new image in the Lin Clan.
