Chapter 2311: Chapter 2308: Whose Principle Prevails

Why has his power increased so much in just a few days? The Divine Clan’s Great Elder furrowed his brows even deeper. Little did he know that not long ago, Lin Tian had just advanced to a second-level Green-eyed zombie, greatly enhancing his strength.

Although he hasn’t reached the level of mastering domains yet, it’s not something a third-level Yellow-eyed zombie can compare to.

"Little Snow, go down," Lin Tian stood against the wind, facing the sword-flying master without any fear.

However, the Divine Clan’s Great Elder clearly didn’t want Lin Tian to land easily. In the air, he had an absolute advantage since no matter how fast Snow Eagle flew, it couldn’t match his sword flight speed.

The Divine Clan’s Great Elder waved his sword, and a sword light shot towards Little Snow. His plan was well-calculated: as long as he killed Little Snow, Lin Tian would be left with nothing in mid-air, and the fall of those ten-plus seconds would be enough for him to incapacitate Lin Tian.

Whether attacking a bird is something a senior would do is not within his consideration range; he has only one goal—the "Shennong Ding"; everything else is meaningless.

"Little Snow, take Miss down," Lin Tian also realized that staying on Little Snow’s back would only bring danger to both Little Snow and Miss.

Without hesitation, Lin Tian jumped out, holding his sword with both hands, and struck a blow. It collided with the sword light, exploding in mid-air with a thunderous noise, shaking the canyon walls, causing rubble to incessantly fall.

The casual strike of the Divine Clan’s Great Elder had the attack force of the Transformation Period. Although Lin Tian blocked it, without a foothold in the air, the shockwave blasted him into another canyon wall.

At this moment, Lin Tian was already a second-level Green-eyed zombie and naturally wouldn’t be smashed into the rock wall as before. He quickly adjusted his posture, kicked with both legs, and the rock wall cracked with a loud bang. Lin Tian had already rebounded like lightning, crashing towards the Divine Clan’s Great Elder along with his sword.

The Great Elder sneered disdainfully at someone who couldn’t fly yet dared to challenge the realm of sword flight. He turned his sword, and the sword light formed a wheel, enveloping Lin Tian to shred him into pieces.

Lin Tian likewise stabbed his sword, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword turning into countless sword shadows, like thousands of arrows fired simultaneously, exactly the sword energy cross of Qingshuang Pavilion.

"How dare you use a low-level Ancient Martial technique to confront me, courting death!" The Divine Clan’s Great Elder sneered coldly, pressing down with his palm, causing the sword wheel to suddenly accelerate, scattering within its glow.

Such intense spinning didn’t stir any wild wind, for the razor-sharp sword qi had already cut the air into fragments, even making it a vacuum.

Luckily, Lin Tian was a zombie who didn’t need to breathe, ignoring the Divine Clan Elder’s mockery. The sword energy cross was still unleashed, tangling with the sword wheel.

Bang...

Suddenly, a massive purple flame fireball burst explosively, scattering all the sword shadows. The Divine Clan Elder was blown away, his beard and hair scorched by the flames, and the sword beneath his feet was blasted away as well, dropping him to the ground.

From a fairy-like sword master to a roasted chicken in an instant, the previous ridicule seemed still lingering in his ears; poetic justice came so swiftly.

Lin Tian, on the other hand, landed on the ground smoothly, and Miss was shocked to the point her mouth hung open, then mumbled, "Since when did the sword energy cross become so powerful?"

In the Ancient Martial World, sword energy cross could indeed rampage for a time, but in Ancient Hidden Stream, it’s just a low-level Ancient Martial technique. Yet, such a low-level technique had managed to blast the Divine Clan’s Great Elder, burning his beard.

"Master, you truly are a genius," the Sword Spirit cheered in the mind, "How did you come up with this move?"

"It’s similar to the principle of Flame Space, highly concentrating the fire’s power around to form a barrier-like shield for defense. If the fire’s power is highly concentrated and compressed into a ball, maybe even a point, and then control is suddenly released."

"The highly concentrated energy would then explode, making this attack both concealed and powerful. I tried it out on the old man, and sure enough, it worked." Lin Tian was quite satisfied.

"Oh my, one hundred likes wouldn’t be enough to express my admiration for the master, overflowing like an unending stream," the Sword Spirit exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Alright, alright, I managed this due to the upgrade and my enhanced control over the fire’s power," Lin Tian was well aware of the reason, knowing it couldn’t have been done without the high compression of energy before.

The Divine Clan’s Great Elder touched his scorched hair and beard, his complexion very unpleasant, no longer as aloof as before: "It seems the Shennong Ding has brought you considerable benefits, dramatically increasing your power."

Lin Tian didn’t explain, just casually said, "It does have some benefits; otherwise, how can I justify exchanging my life for it."

Implying irony towards the Divine Clan’s wish to gain without effort. When the Thunder Tribulation Array descended, not a single person from the Divine Clan dared to fetch Shennong Ding, yet now they want to take advantage, picking peaches, reaping benefits.

"You, a mere human, have no idea of the importance of Shennong Ding. If you are willing to hand over Shennong Ding, I, the old man, can exchange it for the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique." The Divine Clan Great Elder ceased the fight and began a trade.

The proposal startled Yan Lingling; the Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique is the Divine Clan’s secret, yet they now offer it to exchange for Shennong Ding. One needs to know, the Divine Clan is not among pharmacists, Shennong Ding cannot be used to concoct any great elixir.

Human? Lin Tian internally sneered; just because his surname is Divine Clan he really considers himself from the Divine Clan?

Lin Tian had already refined the Blood Spirit Pill using Shennong Ding, solving the Second Miss’s issues and obtaining Shennong Ding’s legacy; trading for Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique wouldn’t seem a loss.

Yet Lin Tian was stubborn; initially when they tried to snatch but failed, they thought of trading now, but he wouldn’t capitulate to their wishes.

If it were Medicine King Mansion proposing this, Lin Tian might consider, but towards the Divine Clan, there’s no regard whatsoever, unwilling to even glance at additional trading chips.

Lin Tian didn’t bother being polite, bluntly said: "I just refuse to trade with your Divine Clan. You want it, talk with your sword. Isn’t your reasoning in your sword?"

Originally the Divine Clan’s Great Elder said that reasoning is in his sword, now Lin Tian returns the words to him.

Compete for strength? I’ve never feared anyone before! Lin Tian coldly thought.

The Divine Clan’s Great Elder’s eyes shimmered for a moment, his hand slightly moved, and then glanced at the ring on Lin Tian’s hand, not a black iron ring, but a dark green thumb ring, given by the Medicine King Mansion.

Lin Tian wasn’t afraid if he made a move, but the Divine Clan’s Great Elder put away his sword and ascended, sword flying away.

"My words remain valid; whenever you understand, come for the trade," a voice came from afar, still the Divine Clan’s Great Elder.

Lin Tian didn’t stop him, realizing that fighting someone of the Great Elder’s level could demolish the canyon, bringing trouble to Xiao Manxuan and the others.

"Never heard of the Divine Clan concocting elixirs; why do they want Shennong Ding so desperately, even repeatedly attempting to seize it, disregarding any face?" Yan Lingling said puzzled.
