Chapter 472: Taking Action Together

Translator: DavidT Editor: Rock, DavidT

”Wha… . at?” The Head Deacon was completely baffled before flying into a rage, ”B*st*rd! This old man was in my prime forty years ago and roamed the pugilistic world for decades, so why have I never heard of that name? Who in the world would dare to have such a nickname?!”

He then glared at Ling Tian with rage, ”Brat, just who are you? You actually dare to come and play a fool in Bright Jade City? How bold! Apprehend him! If he dares to resist, kill him without mercy!” The final part of his sentence was an order given out to the Yu Family experts .

”Compa.s.sion is in my heart and killing is sinful . I didn't want to engage in killing, but all of you want to force my hand!” Ling Tian's old voice sounded, ”Forget it, why is there a need to talk to all of you juniors? This old man shall take my leave!”

Ling Tian then turned around heavily like an old general who spent his life in the battlefield being forced to leave the battlefield, with his heroic career ending in loneliness and desolation . Anyone who saw this heavy figure of Ling Tian's would definitely feel their hearts turn heavy .

Ling Tian had already made a decision in his heart . If all else fails, he would have to take personal action to lead the Yu Family experts over .

”Stop him!” The Head Deacon roared .

”But… old senior Qin…” that White Jade expert was still in a daze .

”Pa!” A crisp slapping sound could be heard and the Head Deacon was enraged to the point he trembled, ”Pig head! What old senior Qin? He is no more than a spy! Why can't you have some brains? If he was truly a friend of the Yu Family, would he come in the night sneakily without daring to show his true appearance? Darn b*st*rd!”

”Those who block me will die!” Ling Tian's voice changed and was filled with boundless killing intent . His advancing figure suddenly stopped and he made an action . His hand came out from his sleeves and after circulating his Divine Shocking Dragon Formula, it turned into a pure Yang cultivation formula . All of a sudden, his palms seem to be giving out a strange glow which gradually grew brighter and brighter like a miniature sun in the darkness .

Everyone stopped in shock . Just what kind of a martial art is this?

Ling Tian raised his hand up into the sky and with a swing of his arm, the fireball was shot out and a huge hole was blasted in a gigantic tree 30 feet away . Following that, black smoke could be seen coming out from it and it burst out into bright flames but shockingly remained standing .

He was actually able to send out fire from his palms! Not to mention seeing it before, none of them had even heard about such an ability!

What shocking martial arts!

The Head Deacon felt his face cramp up and a look of disbelief could be seen in his eyes . If one's own martial arts achieved an extremely profound depth, one would naturally be able to create fire by touching wood . This was something that the Head Deacon knew as a martial arts expert . Besides that, he himself would be able to set dry wood on fire if he touched the wood with his palms . However, which expert in the world would be able to set a tree on fire with a palm strike from 30 feet away?

This impossible miracle had happened right before his very eyes!

Even the publicly acknowledged number one expert in the world probably wouldn't be able to perform such a feat! However, this black-masked man in front of him was able to light up the tree with a flip of his palms . Furthermore, as the Head Deacon thought about the glowing ball of light on the black-masked man's palm, he couldn't help but be filled with unease . Could this black-masked man truly be a hidden martial arts expert?

If this black-masked man was truly an expert who secluded himself from the world, regardless of whether or not he knew their old Family Head, it was definitely not wise for them to offend him . Thus, the Head Deacon was rooted to the spot and didn't know what he should do .

Ling Tian lowered his palm down and the few thunderbeads had been kept back into his embrace . This was something which Ling Tian had extorted from Li Xue . This la.s.s had specially created the Tang Sect's thunderbeads and in his world where gunpowder had not been discovered yet, no one would even imagine that firearms such as thunderbeads would exist . Thus, the Head Deacon of the Yu Family would suspect that he is an otherworldly martial arts expert . However, Ling Tian was extremely dissatisfied with the invention of the gunpowder . While it was a great mark of the progress of human civilization, it had also caused a frightening calamity to the human race .

If this world had gunpowder as well, it would definitely be like his previous life, where more and more destructive weapons were created one after another, causing a greater number of casualties in wars .

Ling Tian was never an individual who would be concerned about the wellbeing of the commoners . He would make use of the knowledge and experience from his previous life to ensure that he could enjoy the largest number of benefits . However, this gunpowder that every transmigrator would create was something that he strictly prohibited . As long as gunpowder appears, the technological advancement of gunpowder would take place in a short few decades . At that time, the world would definitely s.h.i.+ft towards feudalism and slavery, leaving no way out for the commoners .

There were still swordsmen who would roam the pugilistic world to get rid of evil right now but when gunpowder or cannons are developed, an ordinary individual who has not trained in martial arts before would be able to kill an expert like Justice under certain conditions . Furthermore, gunpowder would definitely end up in the hands of those with authority .

At that time, what would be the point of bitterly training in martial arts for decades? From a certain viewpoint, Ling Tian absolutely hated the invention of gunpowder . If not for gunpowder making the Chinese feel that martial arts were useless, how would a China filled with experts ever suffer from the Eight-Nation Alliance humiliation? How would the darn j.a.panese be able to invade their nation for a full eight years? The decline of martial arts and the rise of gunpowder had caused millions of their Chinese comrades endless suffering!

While not all of these were caused by gunpowder, and it was also because of corrupt officials and incapable politicians, it was undeniable that gunpowder had caused Chinese martial arts to wane over the years .

Thus, Ling Tian had decided . Even if gunpowder would eventually be invented in this world, it must not come from his hands . Since he was in this world, he should at least keep to the rules of this world and respect the effort that thousands of years of experts had put into the refinement of their martial arts!

Thus, Ling Tian had very seriously warned Li Xue to not create anymore thunderbeads or any gunpowder related weapons . Mmm, if she were to accidentally make a batch in future, only Li Xue and Ling Chen would be allowed to use it . No one else would be allowed to use it or even come into contact with it . Because of this, Li Xue had looked at Ling Tian at disdain and cursed that he was trying to act so angelic despite trying to fight a war of hegemony . The outcome: Ling Tian spanking Li Xue in a fit of rage .

However, taking the gunpowder out at this moment was truly effective in scaring the Yu Family experts .

Looking at the nervous Yu Family experts in front of him, Ling Tian put on the demeanor of an otherworldly expert and said with pity, ”It is best for all of you to not follow me . This old man truly does not want to kill anyone from the Yu Family . ” At the same time, he thought to himself hatefully, While this daddy here really wants to kill all of you guys from the Yu Family, I can't do that now!

”I hope that Sir will give our Yu Family some face when you are in the city . At the very least, please give the late old Family Head some face . If not, even if we know that we aren't a match for Sir, we will have no choice but to fulfill our responsibilities . ” After witnessing the heaven defying martial arts of the 'senior' in front of them, the Head Deacon gave in . Even if he had some doubts about the status of the person in front of him, his att.i.tude took a huge turn .

Even if he knew that the other party was lying to him about being a friend of his Old Family Head, it was best to just play along with the other party . After all, Bright Jade City was currently in a mess and if they were to provoke this expert in front of them, the consequences would be unimaginable! Offending such an expert would spell endless troubles for their Yu Family!

”En? That old man TianShan has pa.s.sed on already?! This old man feels that I can stay alive for a few more years . Why did he go onto the next life first?” Ling Tian lamented .

The Head Deacon replied respectfully, ”If Sir a friend of our Old Family Head, you are naturally someone who has great fate with our Yu Family . Since you are here in Bright Jade City, allow us to play the part of a proper host!”

Ling Tian didn't give a reply and his figure drifted into the air like a feather in the wind . Only when he was in midair did his voice travel over, ”What kind of fate do I have with you guys? Since Yu TianShan is no longer around, this old man has no more friends in Bright Jade City . If you want this old man to give your Yu Family some face, your Yu Family will have to show this old man some face first!” Ling Tian's voice resounded in the ears of the Yu Family experts but his figure had disappeared from their sights .

The Head Deacon looked at the direction where Ling Tian disappeared towards as he lamented over Ling Tian's unbelievable palm strike . To think that such frightening martial arts would actually exist in the world! He then turned around and asked, ”Li Gang, who did you say he was?” Li Gang was the White Jade expert in the lead .

Li Gang hurriedly took a step forward and said respectfully, ”This old senior Qin did indeed say that he was a friend of the old Family Head . His nickname is even more shocking: 'Immortal-like, deity-like, devil-like, unprecedented expert who grasped the three islands, five mountains, and everything in all directions' . This subordinate does not know if it is true or false . ”

The Head Deacon responded with an 'Mmm' before saying seriously, ”He is truly an otherworldly expert and it is best for us to not become enemies with him . Continue your patrols and this old man will go back to the Yu Residence . An expert suddenly appearing in the city is something that I must report to the Family Head immediately . ” As he said that, he was about to leave .

”Head Deacon,” an old man who followed the Head Deacon hurriedly called out, ”If Head Deacon is going back to the Yu Residence, should our plan tonight…”

The Head Deacon pondered for a moment before replying, ”How can we ignore second young n.o.ble's detailed plan? Delay the plan for two hours and this old man will be back soon . ” With a flash, his figure had appeared in front of the previously burning tree and after staring at it for awhile, he disappeared into the night sky .

After traveling a short distance, Ling Tian looked behind and there was indeed no one following behind him . He couldn't help but let out a delighted smile as he thought, I wonder how Yu ManLou will react to this matter? I wonder if this ident.i.ty that I spontaneously created will be of any use? Or perhaps I can use it further…
