Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511: Successive Upheavals

After Lin Tian dodged the hidden weapon, he didn’t even have time to check what it looked like. The leaves beside his feet began dancing and drifting into the air, even though there was no wind!

"This is..." Lin Tian’s pupils shrunk instantly. He had a feeling he’d fallen into a trap.

These inexplicably floating leaves were undoubtedly part of a pre-arranged array here, just waiting for Lin Tian and his group to slaughter the bull and then reap the benefits of the ambush!

Though the bull wasn’t completely dead, it was already pinned to the tree trunk by Lin Tian with the Thousand Jin Rock, bleeding all over, letting out a miserable roar—wasn’t this the same as being dead?

Immediately, wood dust, dirt, and stones began floating up, trapping Lin Tian within a space of only two square meters.

"Lin Tian, this array has a confounding effect; it was laid down while you were entangled with the monstrous bull. They took advantage of our distraction, so we didn’t notice it at all. Very cunning," Yu Yang’s voice echoed.

Lin Tian’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked internally, "A confounding effect? Does that mean it might be someone from the Xu Family?"

"Quite possibly. It could be Xu Shoujiang and Xu Beishan, they haven’t made many moves the whole time, so they had plenty of opportunities to plot against you."

Yu Yang’s words made Lin Tian even more anxious. If the one betraying him was Xu Shoujiang, then he was truly in trouble. Originally, he and Xu Shoujiang were masters of the same level, but now with the Thousand Jin Rock thrown away, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the old man with plans against him.

Meanwhile, the dust was already floating over, constantly trying to enter Lin Tian’s embrace and even blurring his vision.

Before Lin Tian could react, he saw an extraordinarily dazzling sword flower bloom. Its petals were semi-transparent, but their sharpness could quickly slice him into several pieces of flesh.

He was one hundred percent sure that only Xu Shoujiang could have stabbed out such a terrifying sword flower; even Xu Xianrong would fall short in skill.

The sword flower bloomed too fast, leaving no room to evade. Just as Lin Tian’s heart raced and he prepared for death, the array formed by the floating leaves and wood chips was suddenly struck full of holes and scattered away with the wind.

Lin Tian felt as if he had been through a downpour, his whole body drenched with sweat.

Turns out... it was just a false alarm; the sword flower Xu Shoujiang stabbed was merely to help him out.

Before he could voice his thanks, Yu Yang’s voice suddenly rang out again: "Watch out behind you!"

Yu Yang’s warning was too sudden. As Lin Tian processed it, Xu Beishan suddenly rushed in from the side and delivered a strike.

Lin Tian’s eyebrows raised immediately, his heart burning with anger. So, it was this guy plotting against him! Yet dared a high-level Martial Artist to have designs on him, was he insane?

In that critical moment, Lin Tian’s left hand formed a palm and struck out.

Their palms collided briefly, and Lin Tian’s body instantly flew backward, while Xu Beishan also felt terrible, spewing a mouthful of blood.

What followed was a scene Lin Tian would never forget!

The bull, unbeknownst to anyone, got back up again, with the Thousand Jin Rock still piercing its belly, resembling an airplane wing—a bloody wing.

The bull expended its last ounce of strength, charging forward, using the rock to slice across Xu Beishan’s stomach!

Blood instantly gushed from Xu Beishan’s stomach, and Lin Tian’s eyes widened, still able to see his intestines...

Turns out... his master warned him not about Xu Beishan but the bull attacking from behind!

Turns out... Xu Beishan wasn’t trying to harm him; he was trying to save him!

Thud~

Xu Beishan’s body fell to the ground, his blood pooling into a small puddle. He lay there hunched in his own blood, staring at his opened stomach, using his last bit of strength to shout three words: "Xu~ Dong~ Xu~"

These three words entirely exhausted his remaining energy, and his eyes remained open even in death.

Lin Tian sat there, stunned, watching Xu Beishan’s body bleed out and seeing his intestines slowly slide from his stomach...

"Beishan!"

Xu Shoujiang was also shocked by the scene before him. Once he snapped out of it, he swiftly moved to Xu Beishan’s body, checked his pulse... and found it stopped!

At the same moment, a figure darted over from a distance, moving incredibly fast. Using Lightweight Skill, when stepping over the treetops, he resembled a fledgling eagle just learning to fly, stumbling as he narrowly avoided falling several times.

Only when the figure drew nearer did Lin Tian realize it was... Xu Dongxu!

Almost instantly, Lin Tian’s brain raced and grasped what was truly going on!

That array just now was orchestrated by Xu Dongxu! And the nearly dead bull exhibiting such formidable strength was also controlled by this fellow. Lin Tian believed, as a disciple of Kun Yun, possessing both righteous and wicked techniques, he could absolutely achieve that!

The bull’s last charge aimed to take his life, but unexpectedly, Xu Beishan extended a hand to help.

Once he understood the sequence of events, his guilt towards Xu Beishan turned into burning rage, making him like a rampaging dinosaur. Instantly, he executed Lightweight Skill and dashed toward the stumbling Xu Dongxu.

The speed Lin Tian unleashed was far beyond Xu Dongxu’s ability to withstand. As soon as he realized it, Lin Tian had already gripped his neck fiercely! With just a bit of force, Xu Dongxu’s neck made cracking sounds like popping beans!

Lin Tian truly intended to kill him, but he didn’t want Xu Dongxu’s death to be so swift! Resisting the urge to snap his neck, Lin Tian hurled him into the air. At the same time, Lin Tian kicked off with both feet, chased upwards, lifted his right foot above his head, and aimed heavily at Xu Beishan’s waist!

Thud~!

Xu Dongxu’s limp body fell heavily upon the ground, raising dust, blood gurgling from his mouth, appearing equally as helpless.

What made Lin Tian furious was how this bastard, despite suffering such severe injuries, hadn’t died, so disoriented lying on the ground, he struggled to make out the direction until he saw Xu Beishan. His face flushed red, veins bulged, and his trembling fingers clawed toward the ground, desperately trying to crawl toward Xu Beishan’s corpse. But Lin Tian’s earlier attack was too fierce, leaving Xu Dongxu utterly drained, struggling endlessly yet failing to move even half a meter.
