Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 575 - 547: When Paths Cross, the Brave Emerge Victorious

Uncle Guan was also a powerful warrior, half a step into the Condensing Mirror level, yet his strength far surpassed that of his few brothers.

Lin Tian, in the midst of fierce battle, felt a strong killing intent from behind. A fist packed with ferocious power struck towards the back of his head.

The fist was fast, the force was immense, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon Lin Tian's head.

Without even the time to glance back, Lin Tian clenched his fist and struck back directly.

Boom!

The fists collided hard, and a piercing pain traveled up Lin Tian's arm.

He retreated quickly, his face pale, his breathing unsteady.

"Very strong," Lin Tian exclaimed.

Uncle Guan was feeling similarly, having been sent back by Lin Tian's punch, sustaining minor injuries himself.

He had launched a sneak attack with all his might, while Lin Tian had been caught off guard. When compared, Lin Tian was still a tad more formidable.

"Go!"

The second brother shouted from the side, urging to take advantage of the moment before Lin Tian could fully recover and kill him in one fell swoop.

Lin Tian quickly drank a healing potion, his tiger eyes glaring fiercely at the second brother.

He held the Thunder Whip tightly in his hand, sweeping it towards the second brother.

"Damn it!" the second brother cried out in alarm, shifting from offense to defense, using his broadsword in front of his chest to block Lin Tian's Thunder Whip.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian's Heaven's Punishment was immensely powerful; the Thunder Whip shattered the second brother's broadsword and lashed ferociously onto his chest.

"Pfft!"

The second brother spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying back more than ten meters and crashing to the ground. He struggled a few times before going still.

"Second brother."

Uncle Guan cried out, his gaze fixed on Lin Tian as he threw another punch.

The fifth brother followed closely behind, with a long sword stabbing towards Lin Tian's back.

Contending with one Uncle Guan was already difficult enough; he had to take down the fifth brother.

To trade a light wound for a fatal one!

Lin Tian dodged the vital areas, letting Uncle Guan land a punch on his flesh, then with all his strength, lunged at the fifth brother.

Uncle Guan's punch hit Lin Tian hard on the back of his shoulder, while Lin Tian's punch landed fiercely on the fifth brother's chest.

Lin Tian was injured and spitting blood while the fifth brother died on the spot.

"Fifth brother."

Uncle Guan exclaimed.

Lin Tian once again drank a healing potion and did not make a move, as the potion's healing process required time, and he had to stall for as long as possible.

"Kid, all four of my brothers have lost their lives to you. If I don't kill you today, then I don't deserve the Guan surname," Uncle Guan bellowed, his body surging with superpower. In the blink of an eye, a black ring appeared in his hand.

The black ring was his superpower, which he had named Demon-Subduing Ring.

The Demon-Subduing Ring couldn't directly kill the enemy; it could only tightly bind the opponent, serving as an auxiliary superpower.

The Demon-Subduing Ring expanded with the wind, dark winds swirling as it looped towards Lin Tian.

In a panic, Lin Tian tried to defend, but the Demon-Subduing Ring was too fast, and, in the end, it still ensnared him.

The Demon-Subduing Ring quickly shrank, binding Lin Tian tightly, rendering him completely immobilized.

Lin Tian exerted his full strength in an attempt to break free from the Demon-Subduing Ring, but it only stretched out. When Lin Tian eased his effort, the Demon-Subduing Ring contracted again. For the moment, he couldn't break free from it.

"Kid, no half-step Condensing Mirror level warrior has ever broken free from my Demon-Subduing Ring. Stop wasting your energy and just accept your death," Uncle Guan coldly shouted and, at last, threw a punch at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian used the Flight Technique, carrying the Demon-Subduing Ring, and suddenly flew up to the roof of the house, still struggling fiercely. He believed that with just a few more minutes, he could definitely break the ring.

He flew to the roof, angering Uncle Guan greatly. Struggling, Uncle Guan climbed onto the roof to pursue Lin Tian, who then easily flew to another rooftop.

"Dammit, use bows and arrows, shoot him dead," Uncle Guan yelled.

The people below quickly fetched bows and arrows from the house, notching their arrows and shooting in unison at Lin Tian.

Just then, with a long howl from Lin Tian, he flexed his body with all his might, his arms opening and closing wide, and with a loud bang, finally broke the Demon-Subduing Ring.

Several arrows shot at Lin Tian, which he easily dodged. He quickly kicked off roof tiles swiftly, the tiles, as if guided by eyes, hitting everyone shooting arrows below, leaving them battered and bloodied.

"What?" Uncle Guan cried out.

"He's so strong!"

"He broke Uncle Guan's Demon-Subduing Ring, look!"

…, ….

But the moment the Demon-Subduing Ring was broken, everyone was dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen someone break free from Uncle Guan's Demon-Subduing Ring.

Disregarding the crowd's shock, Lin Tian charged at Uncle Guan on the rooftop.

The two exchanged blows fist for fist, flesh against flesh, with no fancy moves in their techniques, only a fight-for-your-life style.

Neither yielding nor using their superpowers, it was purely a contest of strength and physical resilience.

The crowd was stunned by the spectacle, something even more thrilling than what they'd seen on television.

In less than three minutes, both were bloody messes, their legs and arms drenched in blood, both severely wounded.

Lin Tian adopted a desperate stance, nothing else mattered to him now. Uncle Guan had injured Fang Shaoxiong; Lin Tian had to make sure he died.

No matter the cost.

But Uncle Guan was different; he wanted to avenge his four brothers, but as the fight dragged on, he realized that he and Lin Tian were evenly matched. Who would win or lose remained uncertain, and he wasn't willing to sacrifice his own life for revenge.

He defended himself while saying to Lin Tian, "Kid, I killed your brother, and you killed mine; we're even now. Let's each take a step back and no longer trouble each other, how about that?"

Lin Tian said, "I'm telling you, my brother is lucky; he's not dead."

Upon hearing this, the old man's anger flared up and he said, "Since your brother isn't dead, and you've already killed four of my brothers, you've already taken advantage and you're still relentlessly after me. What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Of course, it's to kill you. Nobody can harm my brother. Whoever hurts my brother has to die."

After hearing this, the old man felt a surge of frustration; he launched several frenzied attacks, but he still couldn't inflict any damage on Lin Tian. Gradually losing steam, he went from attacking to defending, preparing for a chance to escape.

On the contrary, Lin Tian was all offense, exchanging blow for blow with each punch aimed to kill.

Then, the old man seized an opportunity, kicking at Lin Tian and using the force to rush backward, planning to flee.

"Now's the time."

Lin Tian sneered coldly and stamped his feet, crushing several roof tiles into powder.

He executed the Flight Technique and swiftly got behind the old man. The old man's running legs were no match for Lin Tian's flying speed. Before he could even leap off the roof, he felt a chill on his back.

He turned his head, only to have a fist already striking his forehead.

The next moment, his head was smashed by Lin Tian, and he died disgracefully.

"Phew..."

Lin Tian let out a long sigh.

His strength was evenly matched with that of the old man. What determined their fight was perseverance—the spirit of being unafraid to die.

If the old man had continued fighting him, the outcome of who would win was uncertain.

Lin Tian himself was also at his limit, but he didn't give up, fueled by a single-minded obsession to kill the old man at all costs.

It was because of this obsession that he persisted to the end.

As for the old man, the opposite was true. Initially, he wanted to murder Lin Tian desperately, but once he realized that Lin Tian's strength matched his own, he decided to run away, losing the intention to kill Lin Tian.

Wavering back and forth, afraid of losing his life, in the end, he lost exactly that.

The brave prevails in a narrow path; that's the principle it speaks of.

Bravery means not fearing death.

The vicious fear the bold, and the bold fear those who are unafraid to die.

Those who care the least about their lives often end up the last ones laughing.

Having killed the old man, Lin Tian had only exacted half of his revenge. He quickly flew down to the ground and fixed his gaze on the people below.

"Run for it; he killed the old man; hurry, run!" someone shouted, and then they ran frantically backward, with others following suit. They treated Lin Tian like the Demon King, wishing they could sprout wings and fly out of his sight.

"Who dares move."

Lin Tian roared, kicking out a steel blade which shot like an arrow and killed the one leading the escape.

Blood sprayed on the face of the person next to the victim, who was so scared that they couldn't move any further and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Following suit, everyone else knelt down and began to kowtow, begging for mercy.

"Big brother, we were wrong; it was the old man who killed your brother, yeah, and it was he who made us ignite the bomb. It has nothing to do with us!"

"That's right, the death of your brother has nothing to do with us at all, not a bit!"

…, ….

Everyone was pleading for mercy, now all pretending to be innocent.

Lin Tian ignored them and walked to the middle, pulling out two people who were shivering with fear. They were the two who had reported the news, Second and Third.

"Big brother, we were wrong; we're just porters and never killed anyone. We were wrong; we won't dare to do it again."

"Hmph."

Lin Tian sneered, dismissing their excuses. It was their very words that had previously led Lin Tian to release them, nearly causing Fang Shaoxiong to die. Lin Tian wasn't about to stumble over the same stone twice.

His hand moved, and the blade fell, killing Second.

A foul stench filled the air as Third, scared out of his wits, wet his pants.

Lin Tian grabbed Third by the hair and demanded, "Tell me, who else was with you when you went after my brother."

Third, who was already cowardly, now obeyed Lin Tian's every command.

"Him." Third pointed at a person.

The accused shook all over and was about to dispute the claim when Lin Tian killed him with a single strike.

"Who else."

"Him."

"Him."

…, ….

Third named eight people in succession, and Lin Tian killed them all.

With his vengeance complete, Lin Tian also killed Third with one stroke of his blade.

He quickly left Guan Family Village to regroup with Fang Shaoxiong and Wang Ying.

Lin Tian found them, and with the treatment from the healing potion, Fang Shaoxiong's wounds had mostly healed. He was still weak, but walking was no longer an issue.

Then, Wang Ying spoke anxiously.

"Big brother, you're finally back. If you hadn't returned, it would've been too late. Just now, the volcano has already erupted on a small scale, and the surrounding powers are ready to make their moves. The whole volcano is about to erupt."
