Chapter Fourteen Xu Lin

  The demon snake was in severe pain, but its triangular pupils were still staring at Xu Lin. It could feel the threat brought by Xu Lin, and its current strength was less than one-third of its peak period. If it were in its prime, it would not be so cautious.

  "Hiss...hiss"

  One person and one demon stood facing each other, not far away the master of the Qian family was treating his wounds. Although the master of the Zhou family had not been seriously injured, he pretended to be seriously injured and sat cross-legged on the ground to catch his breath. After worrying about it, he also figured it out that at this moment one person and one demon should be evenly matched, let alone he also wanted to know how strong Xu Lin's true strength was.

  Looking at the demon snake in front of him, Xu Lin also had the intention to subdue it. Although this demon beast was only three stages old, he could kill as many as he wanted. However, since it had awakened its innate divine ability at the third stage, this demon beast would surely be extraordinary if it grew up. Perhaps it could shed its snake body and become a dragon.

  Most importantly, at this moment, a soft and weak beautiful shadow suddenly appeared in his mind.

  "Rou'er... Rou'er, why don't they want to let you go, why can't he protect you, why don't I have the power to help you..."

  In an instant, Xu Lin fell into a deep reverie, and at this moment, he looked extremely painful and desolate.

  Escaping the abyss, Xulin looked at the ferocious snake in front of him and actually revealed a faint smile, as if muttering to himself: "Rou'er... Hua'er has grown up, if you could see him, he would definitely be delighted, he is as kind as you..."

  The snake demon looked at Xulin with a smile, and a hint of confusion flashed in its triangular pupils, but it was soon covered again by the intention to devour blood.

  "Surrender to me, and I'll spare your life. After all, it's too rare for someone to comprehend the divine ability of the Three Stages at such a young age, killing you would be too wasteful." Xu Lin said with a smile that was both evil and charming, his face changing from its previous gloomy and despondent look.

  The masters of the Zhou and Qian families were shocked, hardly daring to believe what they had just heard. The demon snake was clearly able to understand human language, and it seemed extremely enraged, with an even more intense bloodthirsty glow in its eyes. A deep, cold white light shot out, heading straight for Xu Lin. The chill emanating from this white light was unknown how many times stronger than the two cold auras that had frozen Fatso and Skinny earlier.

  "Hiss..."

  Two people stared at Xu Lin, who was wrapped in white mist, in unbelievable eyes. The white mist that wrapped Xu Lin suddenly dissipated quickly, and then a chill more than ten times stronger than before emanated from Xu Lin's body. Even the two family heads who were tens of feet away from him couldn't help but shiver several times, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Xu Lin.

  "Zhou family head stammered and said: 'Wu... Wu... Huang...'"

  The master of Xu's family in Qing Shan town was actually a martial emperor, and the martial emperor was so powerful that he could dominate the entire city, which is no wonder why the two were so shocked.

  The one above the Martial King is the Martial Emperor. If it's said that a strong Martial King can control his breath and fly, distinguishing himself from ordinary people, then a strong Martial Emperor has grasped the laws of heaven and earth, mastered a thread of heavenly attributes, and is far stronger than a strong Martial King.

  The heavens and earth are primarily divided into eight attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Time, and Space. However, the laws that have evolved from the heavens and earth are countless and immeasurable; grasping just one can make someone a powerful Martial Emperor.

  After Xu Lin revealed his true strength, not only did the two family heads tremble with fear, but the bloodthirsty pupils of the demon snake opposite him also showed extreme terror. Although it was a three-stage peak demon beast and had grasped the innate divine ability, it could roam freely within the third stage. However, if it encountered a high-ranking martial artist like Wu Huang, it could only hold on for a moment or two. At this moment, Xu Lin's explosive aura was so powerful that it almost suffocated him.

  His proud head kept shrinking to the ground, but he still persisted, and in his triangular pupils, there was still a hint of unwillingness and stubbornness, perhaps when he was at his peak, he could escape!

  It seemed that Xu Lin had seen the reluctance in the snake's eyes, and a look of admiration actually appeared on his face. He said, "You're not as simple as I thought, but do you really think you can rival me at your peak? Well, I'll give you an opportunity."

  Suddenly, a jade bottle appeared in Xu Lin's hand. The two family heads behind him narrowed their eyes and stared fixedly at the black ring with floral patterns on Xu Lin's hand, unable to help but exclaim: "Spatial Ring... it's actually a Spatial Ring... I originally thought it was just an ornament, didn't expect..."

  "This Rejuvenating Blood Activating Pill is enough to restore you, it's up to you whether you dare to eat it..." Xu Lin gazed calmly at the demon snake, and with a flick of his wrist, tossed over a pill. The demon snake didn't even think before swallowing it in one gulp, causing Xu Lin's smile to grow even thicker.

  Although the demon snake swallowed the elixir taken out by Xulinn, the vigilant color in its eyes towards Xulinn had not yet dissipated. It was only then that the two family heads remembered what Xulinn had said earlier, "Rebirth Elixir! That's a divine elixir, even if the Martial Emperor were to suffer severe injuries, he could recover in a short period of time. How is it possible..."

  However, the fact did not allow them to disbelieve. After the demon snake swallowed the elixir, its damaged skin began to regrow, and its aura grew stronger. The joyful color in its cold pupils became more intense. Originally, the demon snake was just a dead horse being treated as if it were alive. It had lived for hundreds of years and still remembered the situation from earlier. With its broken body, it had fought against a human martial arts master, which would have only led to death. Yet, the opponent had given it an opportunity to recover. Although it didn't dare to believe it, the demon snake accepted it, as this was its only chance. Unexpectedly, after taking the elixir, it recovered significantly in just a moment, which was truly unexpected.

  "What, you little guy just recovered and are already getting restless......" Looking at the fierce glow in the eyes of the demon snake staring at him, Xu Lin's smile did not diminish, "It seems that only truly defeating you can make you truly surrender...... right?"

  The demon snake has recovered more than half of its strength, but it is still not enough to rival Xu Lin. In its eyes, Xu Lin is a formidable opponent, and although submitting to him would allow it to survive, and possibly even gain more resources to break through to an even higher realm, as a demonic beast, there is an unquenchable wildness in its heart that makes it unwilling to be bound. Only a strong being who far surpasses itself can make it submit, and Xu Lin, although strong, has not truly demonstrated his strength to the demon snake.

  "Since that's the case, then let me show you my strength. It's been many years, I almost forgot I had this kind of strength...". A faint voice came out of Xu Lin's mouth, and the extremely powerful true energy fluctuations suddenly descended upon the world. The strong pressure made the two family heads feel weaker than they ever had before. They felt bitter in their hearts, thinking that after fighting with Xu Lin for decades, they suddenly realized they were just frogs in a well, and Xu Lin had never considered them as opponents. They didn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent... How could this be? Just the pressure alone was almost too much for the two of them to bear. What kind of strength was this? The two of them couldn't imagine it. Today they were shocked enough, and from now on, they would never again have the heart to contend with Xu Lin or the Xu family.

  Under Xu Lin's powerful pressure, the demon snake also found it hard to bear, but it did not lower its head. It was proud and would never allow itself to give up without a fight, would never allow...

  "Come on! Let me see just how strong you are, whether or not you have the qualifications to be my master..." The snake's mouth seemed to be hissing out these words as it shook its body and collided with Xu Lin.

  "Hmm...hmm"

  Although Xulin didn't use his full strength, it was still not something the demon snake could resist. When Xulin's palm collided with the demon snake's body, the newly grown flesh that had just recovered split open once again, revealing dripping crimson...

  One person and one demon exchanged dozens of moves, Xu Lin still had that calm and gentle posture, while the demon snake was covered in its own blood, and its fierce glow gradually dissipated, revealing a warm and gentle expression, as it lowered its huge snake head to the ground.

  "Good... it wasn't a waste of my effort, if you hadn't submitted I was prepared to kill you... fortunately you did submit..." As Xu Lin's words, devoid of even a hint of killing intent, echoed in his ears, the snake demon's eyes revealed a mix of fear and relief.

  He threw another Rebirth Blood Pulse Pill to the snake, and Xulin looked at the body of the snake with a mixture of green and red colors, and said with some joy: "From now on, you will be called Qinghong! Since this is your territory, then from now on, you should stay here! If there's anything, you can go find me, but don't randomly harm people."

  Swallowing the dan medicine, he felt his demonic body gradually recovering. He nodded heavily with a mixture of blue and red on his face, while also gently rubbing against Xulin with his snake head, causing Xulin to burst into laughter.

  Looking at Xu Lin who had just subdued the demon snake, Zhou and Qian, the two family heads, hurriedly congratulated him: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for obtaining a demonic pet!"

  Upon hearing the two voices, Qinghong glared at them fiercely with a pair of triangular snake eyes as large as fists, hissing and spitting out snake gallbladder. Although he had submitted to Xulin, he only listened to Xulin alone, and he didn't have any good feelings towards these two humans who had attacked him together earlier.

  The two subconsciously took a step back, and Xulin helped them out by saying: "Don't make things difficult for humans in the future unless they provoke you on purpose."

  Qing Hong retreated behind Xu Lin, and Xu Lin said to Zhou Qian and the others: "As for things related to my strength, you should know what to do!"

  His tough and unyielding demeanor was a far cry from the gentle and refined image of the Xu family's master that others had in their minds.

  "We understand" that the two of them have no regrets, after all, in the Tianxuan Continent, the strong are revered, and towards the strong, they must maintain a humble attitude.

  "Don't worry, if I wanted to take your family's money, I would have done it years ago. Do you think I don't have the ability to do so?"

  "I don't dare, I didn't think Brother Xu had become so powerful. From now on, the Zhou family will follow the orders of the Xu family." The master of the Zhou family said immediately.

  "My family is also willing to listen to Brother Xu's instructions..."

  Xu Lin's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "Just mind your own business, this small Qing Shan Town is nothing to me. But when I go back, I'll make sure to bring all the people who participated in framing my family's Hua Er over here. Do they really think I won't take care of them just because they can do as they please?"

  A gleam of understanding flashed in both their eyes as they chimed in unison: "Definitely, definitely"
