Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 733 - 705: Cycle of Nature, Karma Retribution

"Who is this person, so powerful? The black-clad expert had such fast step techniques and such domineering sword moves, yet he could pinpoint his weak spot, it's simply defying the heavens!"

"Sister Ling really has some skills, to be able to recruit such a strong figure under her command."

"This man is so strong, perhaps the situation in Cang Hai City will come to an end under his hands."

The crowd buzzed with various comments, none excluded, but the focus of the discussion was all about one person, Lin Tian.

Huang Batian immediately ordered someone to save the black-clad expert, his eyes glaring at Lin Tian, nearly spewing fire.

If not for him, how could his men have been defeated?

He had been all ready, full of confidence, but it was all spoiled by Lin Tian.

He was furious, enraged, he had come looking for trouble on purpose, and yet he lost. If word spread, he would become a laughingstock.

He glared at Lin Tian and bellowed, "Boy, what's your name? Today, let's make friends, and if fate allows, we'll meet again."

Make friends, huh!

He's treating me like a child!

Lin Tian said indifferently, "What I am called is not important. What's important is that you should know, if someone offends me, I will certainly retaliate!"

"Hahaha...!"

"Well said, 'if someone offends me, I will certainly retaliate.' I'll return those words to you. Since you refuse to give your name, sooner or later, I'll find you. I remember what you look like."

After speaking, Huang Batian turned to Li Linglong, "Li Linglong, I have lost today, but you winning this way is nothing to be proud of."

"Let's go."

Huang Batian prepared to leave with his men.

"Wait."

Li Linglong called out to Huang Batian and his people.

Huang Batian, clenching his fists, turned back and said, "Li Linglong, what more do you want? Do you really want to fight to the death with me here?"

Li Linglong said, "Seems like you've forgotten, the loser has to leave someone behind."

She finished speaking and coldly glanced at Dog Three.

Dog Three, frightened, shivered all over, and cool sweat broke out on his back, quickly soaking his clothes.

He had just been instigating Li Linglong to bet on a sure win, had just loudly exclaimed he wasn't afraid of death, but now, they had lost, and losing meant handing him over to Li Linglong for disposal, which surely meant death.

"Boss, Boss, I... I..."

Dog Three, holding onto Huang Batian's sleeve, pleaded with a look full of desperation, his whole body trembling.

Huang Batian looked distressed; he was quite accustomed to using Dog Three and didn't want him to die!

Li Linglong said from the side, "Boss, you lost fair and square. Are you really a sore loser, hoping to welsh? So many people are watching; if word gets out, that wouldn't reflect well on your reputation, would it?"

This was exactly what Dog Three and Huang Batian had said to Li Linglong earlier, and now, Li Linglong returned their words in kind.

At that moment, Huang Batian looked around and saw a crowd of people staring at him.

If he acted dishonestly now, it would certainly spread among these people, and Huang Batian couldn't afford such a loss in face.

He looked at Dog Three, his lips curling with reluctance.

But soon, his eyes flashed with resoluteness.

"Dog Three, I'm sorry. I'll take good care of your family."

Then, with a ruthless wave of his hand, Huang Batian released Dog Three's grasp.

Two burly men rushed over from behind Li Linglong, pinning Dog Three in front of Li Linglong.

"Boss, Boss, I've been loyal to you, you can't just watch me die, Boss, Boss...!"

Dog Three desperately cried for help, tears streaming from his eyes.

Huang Batian also felt some pity, having gotten used to Dog Three's service.

He turned around, pleading for Li Linglong to spare Dog Three's life.

"Li Linglong, we are both figures of Cang Hai City, no need to be so harsh. Dog Three is my right-hand man, you...!"

Before Huang Batian could finish, Li Linglong scoffed, raised her hand, and directly killed Dog Three!

Watching Dog Three slowly fall to the ground, Lin Tian was shocked, Feiyan was shocked, Huang Batian was shocked, everyone was shocked.

So ruthless, to kill at the drop of a hat!

Li Linglong said, "Before the match, we agreed the winner could deal with the loser's people as they see fit. Did I do anything wrong by killing him?"

Right in front of everyone and Huang Batian, Li Linglong didn't wait for Huang Batian to plea and executed Dog Three on the spot, openly dishonoring him!

Not giving him any face at all!

"You...!"

Huang Batian pointed at Li Linglong, too furious to speak.

What Li Linglong did was all fair. If Feiyan had fallen into Huang Batian's hands, would Feiyan have come back alive?

The same treatment for him!

Also, Li Linglong killing Dog Three on the spot also served as a harsh lesson for Huang Batian.

"Li Linglong, don't provoke me, otherwise, there will be no mercy in death!"

Huang Batian's face turned an iron blue, and he was unable to utter a word.

Hmph!

"Li Linglong, I, Huang Batian, will remember today's incident; we shall see," he said.

Huang Batian stormed off in a fury, taking his followers with him. Before leaving, he threw a threatening remark, signaling the end of the peaceful situation where the northern gate's Sister Ling and the southern gate's Lord Ba each held their own in Cang Hai City. When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt — it's a battle of kings, where the victor rules!

Looking at the corpse of Dog Three at his feet, his head covered in blood, and his eyes wide open in disbelief, Dog Three could not accept or believe that he had died like this.

If Lin Tian guessed rightly, it was Dog Three who came up with today's scheme for Huang Batian — originally to humiliate Li Linglong. Unfortunately, attempting to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, Dog Three ended up costing himself his own life.

Because of his cunning, he had become one of Huang Batian's favorites, respectfully addressed as "Lord Dog" by others.

But it was also because of his cunning that he met his demise.

Success is due to one's advisor as is failure!

That Dog Three died a wrongful death only demonstrated one thing.

Divine calamities can be forgiven, self-inflicted calamities cannot!

Divine retribution cycles naturally!

It was not unavenged; the time simply hadn't come yet!

After Huang Batian and his group had left, a gentle smile appeared on Li Linglong's lips.

The young man approached Lin Tian first, returning the Treasured Sword, respectfully bowed to him, and said, "Thank you!"

Li Linglong's beautiful eyes stared intently at Lin Tian, then pulling Feiyan by the hand, she approached Lin Tian.

"Feiyan, this is your savior; quickly, thank him," she instructed.

"Thank you, handsome, for saving my life," Feiyan said, dipping her chin as her beautiful eyes conveyed her gratitude.

Before Lin Tian could respond, Wang Yuan, standing nearby, naively nodded his head, his gaze fixed on Feiyan; clearly, he was smitten by Feiyan's beauty.

He gave Wang Yuan a look and modestly said, "Sister Ling is joking. It was you who stopped the Treasured Sword, and it was you who saved Feiyan. During the fight just now, I only spoke a few words; it was merely a slight effort, hardly worth mentioning!"

Li Linglong laughed and said, "If you hadn't intervened then, I believe you would have. You really are a modest man," she remarked.

Lin Tian simply smiled, his expression calm, yet he was internally startled!

Before the competition, a man in black nearly killed Feiyan. Just as Lin Tian was about to act, Li Linglong intervened first and saved Feiyan.

Since Li Linglong had noticed Lin Tian's readiness to take action, it meant she had been observing from the shadows for some time.

It seemed she acted not only to witness Feiyan's sincerity but perhaps for other reasons as well, intervening at a critical moment to save Feiyan.

It appeared that Li Linglong was no ordinary person. From this incident alone, it was evident that her stratagems were deep, far from the simple person she appeared to be.

Li Linglong knew Lin Tian was reluctant to take credit in front of Huang Batian and did not want to reveal his name.

She did not ask further and politely inquired, "Handsome, what brings you to Manchun Hall this time?"

Lin Tian said, "Firstly, I came here to pit animals against each other with my brother; secondly, I've long heard of Feiyan's enchanting dance, unrivaled in beauty, and wished to witness it myself."

Li Linglong said, "Dog Three interrupted the most exciting part of Feiyan's 'Palm Dance,' likely dampening your spirits. How about this? Today, I will make an exception for you and have Feiyan perform the dance again."

"That would be splendid," Lin Tian replied.

After that, everyone took their seats; Lin Tian and Wang Yuan sat in the first row, with Li Linglong next to them.

Feiyan returned to the stage to perform once again.

'Palm Dance'

As the music began, Feiyan danced gracefully, her white garments fluttering as if ethereal, capturing the hearts of all who watched.

Even though it was a replay of the dance from earlier, it still stirred the hearts of the audience.

Deep emotions intoxicate the beholder, and profound beauty is unforgettable!

The dance seemed to show Lin Tian the most beautiful view in the world; he became enthralled, grasping the Subduing Dragon Zither in his palm.

He decided to accompany the music!

"Zing, zing, zing…"

The sound of the zither rose, serene and satisfying, perfectly complementing Feiyan's 'Palm Dance.'

Feiyan's 'Palm Dance' was choreographed based on the dances of Zhao Feiyan from the Han Dynasty. The music Lin Tian played was the original accompaniment meant for Zhao Feiyan.

One could say that Lin Tian's music was the most authentic and best-suited to complement Feiyan's 'Palm Dance.'

Upon hearing the music, Feiyan danced as if a lost traveler had found their way, following the notes with elegance as if the spirit of Zhao Feiyan herself was present, guiding her personally.

Her dance became more and more exquisite, eventually, petals fell from the sky, and amidst them stood Feiyan, like the Hundred Flowers Fairy descending to the mortal world, leaving all who watched utterly intoxicated.

Lin Tian finally witnessed the most breathtaking moment of Feiyan's performance, accompanied by a shower of fresh flowers, within which Feiyan disappeared from sight.

The impact was genuinely staggering. Feiyan's dance reached the level of a dancing deity. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Any Asian dancer paled in comparison to Feiyan—simply weak!

The others were even more stunned. Feiyan's dance captivated their eyes, while Lin Tian's music enraptured their ears, truly a celestial melody!
