WDQK: Invincible with top-tier talent from the start

Chapter 46: Mere Plaything, Battle at Tiemu Manor!

"Jie jie… Our Bloodclad Sect's Sect Master has come in person, and yet your little Lin family dares to keep the gates shut? Do you truly believe we wouldn't dare to wash this place in blood?"

The hawk-nosed elder sneered coldly, his voice eerie as he stared toward Tiemu Manor.

Standing atop the wall, Lin Zhentian stared back at the menacing crowd, his gaze flickering. Without opening the gates, he clasped his hands and called out:

"I am Lin Zhentian. Greetings, Sect Master Wei."

"I didn't expect to find two Small Yuan Dan experts in such a small town. If I hadn't come myself, things might have gotten troublesome,"

Wei Tong, Sect Master of the Bloodclad Sect, said calmly as his gaze swept over Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao.

"I had originally intended to wipe your Lin family out directly and take your Yang Essence Stone Vein. But now… I'm willing to give you an opportunity."

Behind him, Xie Yingying froze, her expression changing. She cautiously spoke:

"Sect Master Wei, didn't you promise to destroy the Lin family and avenge the Xie clan?"

Slap!

Before she could finish, Wei Tong's hand lashed out, sending her flying from her horse to the ground.

"You? You're nothing but a plaything for my son. And you want to teach me how to act?"

Wei Tong's voice was devoid of emotion—calm, but full of deadly chill.

Wei Hu, the young man beside him, frowned. "Father, you hit her too hard. I haven't finished playing with her yet. What if you broke her?"

Xie Yingying, who had felt a trace of gratitude at first, turned pale as a sheet at those words. Despair filled her heart.

Wei Tong responded blandly, "You should focus more on cultivation. Once you're strong enough, beautiful women will throw themselves at you."

Wei Hu lowered his head, not daring to retort.

"Serves her right, that wretch."

Lin Xia, standing atop the manor wall, watched with cold eyes.

She had been at odds with Xie Yingying since childhood, and now that Yingying had brought a great enemy to destroy the Lin family, she despised her even more.

Lin Zhentian's gaze grew complex as he watched the father and son's behavior. He called out:

"Sect Master Wei, what do you mean by 'giving us a chance'?"

Wei Tong grinned, his white teeth gleaming menacingly. "Surrender Tiemu Manor and pledge allegiance to the Bloodclad Sect. Do that, and I'll spare your lives."

Lin Zhentian and the others all felt their hearts sink.

So this was the so-called opportunity?

Clearly, Wei Tong intended to devour the entire Lin family in one bite!

"Sect Master Wei… might there be a more… reasonable offer?"

Lin Zhentian asked cautiously, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Lin Zhentian, don't push your luck!"

The hawk-nosed elder growled before Wei Tong could answer.

"Our Sect Master is showing mercy by not killing you outright. Keep pushing, and your whole clan will die!"

Lin Dong stepped forward, his voice loud and clear:

"It's not that you're sparing us. It's that you're afraid. Afraid that if you fight us here, even in victory, you'll suffer heavy losses!"

"Even if you win, the Lin family will make you pay dearly. And by then, your Bloodclad Sect may find itself in deep trouble in Yan City!"

"So I advise you—leave while you still can!"

Wei Tong's eyes narrowed, turning icy as he fixed his gaze on Lin Zhentian.

"So this is your answer, Lin Zhentian? You'd rather resist to the death?"

Lin Zhentian raised his voice, steady and clear. "Since Sect Master Wei gives us no path to live, then the Lin family will fight to the end!"

"Then die, all of you!"

Wei Tong's face turned to stone as he waved his hand and barked,

"Kill them all. Leave no one alive!"

The moment his words fell, he launched from his horse, shooting through the air toward Lin Zhentian like an arrow.

At the same time, his right fist, wrapped in sharp Pure Yuan Qi, smashed toward Lin Zhentian's chest!

Woo—woo—!

Even the air cried under the pressure of the fist's force.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, Lin Zhentian's face turned solemn. He didn't dare hold back.

His hands moved quickly, forming a complex seal. A yellow earthen palm took shape in the air, expanding rapidly and turning solid like a wall in front of him.

It was the Earth Seal, third form of the Five Element Seal.

Lin Fan had contributed the technique to the clan, and the core members had all practiced it.

Knowing he was no match for Wei Tong, Lin Zhentian opted for defense, hoping for an opening later.

As a Grade-Five martial art, the Earth Seal balanced attack and defense—perfect for the moment.

Boom!

Wei Tong's fist collided with the yellow seal, producing a deep thunderous noise that made even Tiemu Manor's walls tremble.

Bang!

Unfortunately, Lin Zhentian's strength was still lacking. The seal held for a moment, then shattered—though he himself remained unharmed.

"How interesting."

Wei Tong's eyes lit up as he grinned—and struck again!

At the same time, Deputy Sect Master Gu Ying and the hawk-nosed elder also rushed toward the manor walls.

"Father, that one's a Rune Master. Leave him to me. You take the other," Lin Dong said seriously to Lin Xiao, then lunged at Gu Ying.

Lin Xiao hesitated only briefly before agreeing and intercepted the hawk-nosed elder.

Below, the Bloodclad Sect disciples charged the manor gates under Wei Hu's command.

Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and the Lin family's guards and elite juniors rushed to meet them, and battle broke out in earnest.

The hawk-nosed elder's gaze was murderous as he struck out at Lin Xiao, launching into the air with claws aimed at Lin Xiao's throat.

Lin Xiao didn't flinch. He brought his fingers together, channeling Yuan Power until they gleamed like sword tips, and stabbed at the elder's claw!

Clang!

The strike rang like steel meeting steel.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly and quickly retreated, creating distance.

As he backed away, his hands formed a new seal—this time a blazing red palm took shape.

The elder chased after him, only to meet the flaming seal head-on.

"Woo—woo—!"

His claw tore through the air, howling as it collided with the palm.

Boom!

Both were knocked back at once.
