Top-Tier Superpower Student

Lin Tian, gravely injured, lacked even the ability to dodge. As he watched the approaching sword, his heart sank into despair. Could it be that this was how he was going to die?

The Treasured Sword grew nearer and nearer, and just at this critical juncture, a Flying Dagger swiftly flew in.

The Flying Dagger struck hard against Gan Yi's Treasured Sword, sparking a shower of sparks, and in an unguarded moment, the sword fell from Gan Yi's hand.

A figure landed in front of Lin Tian, it was Huo Shaotian.

Upon seeing that it was Huo Shaotian, Lin Tian's heart leapt with joy, and he muttered under his breath, "Hold on for three minutes, just three minutes, and I should be able to recover."

"Three minutes, don't worry, even if it means dying, I will hold on for three minutes!" Huo Shaotian replied determinedly.

Huo Shaotian nodded and said to the others, "With me here, none shall harm him!"

Mo Xingyi was furious, just as he thought vengeance was within reach, it was disrupted by Gan Yi.

He angrily said, "Huo Shaotian, this is a grudge between Shenxing Gate and Lin Tian, a conflict of sects. I hope you won't interfere, our Shenxing Gate and your Blazing Sect have always kept to our own affairs."

"Lin Tian is my friend, and I must protect my friend. Just as you said, we have always kept to our own affairs, so you should back down," Huo Shaotian declared.

Mo Xingyi's eyes flashed with vicious determination as he said, "If you insist on protecting Lin Tian, do you really wish to provoke a war between our two great sects?"

"A war? Is our Blazing Sect really afraid of your Shenxing Gate?"

Blazing Sect was far stronger than Shenxing Gate, so Mo Xingyi was speechless. He whispered to the other four, "Kill them, and be quick about it, leave no survivors, leave no trace."

The four charged, launching a joint attack on Huo Shaotian.

All five men had the strength of half-step Mirror Condensation; if it were one-on-one, none of them would be a match for Huo Shaotian, but in four against one, Huo Shaotian could not emerge victorious, only delay time, waiting for Lin Tian to recover.

Huo Shaotian focused on defense, and with a wave of his hand, he shot five Flying Daggers toward the four men.

The quartet used their own methods to deflect the five Flying Daggers.

Huo Shaotian continued to release Flying Daggers, until he had shot more than thirty of them, until he had emptied all the Flying Daggers he had brought.

The Flying Daggers didn't inflict any harm on them, but they did delay them for nearly a minute.

Immediately following, Huo Shaotian switched from defense to offense, exhaling a great fire to burn his opponents.

They had been wary of this move from Huo Shaotian and quickly spread out, attacking him from the left and right.

Huo Shaotian desperately parried the attacks of the four, fighting in a bloodbath. In less than forty seconds, Huo Shaotian had sustained injuries in three places, and his blood flowed freely.

From behind, Mo Xingyi shouted, "Huo Shaotian, I'll give you another chance. Step aside, and you may live."

Unmoved, Huo Shaotian bellowed, "Lin Tian, today I've got you covered! If you want to get past, you'll have to step over my dead body."

A simple sentence, imbued with the spirit of brotherhood, the readiness to forsake life and death, and a domineering aura.

Even Lin Tian was surprised. He had no great relation with Huo Shaotian, having fought only one battle together, but now Huo Shaotian was ready to lay down his life to protect Lin Tian, which touched him deeply.

"Huo Shaotian, this brother, I, Lin Tian, am forever indebted!"

Enraged, Mo Xingyi roared, "Attack! Kill them! Step over Huo Shaotian's body and slay Lin Tian!"

The four executed their respective skills, together assaulting Huo Shaotian.

Huo Shaotian fought with fists and kicks, spewing flames continuously. In the blink of an eye, his garment was soaked red with blood, and his left shoulder took a sword hit that sliced away half a pound of flesh.

Huo Shaotian fought recklessly as if he were ready to die with his opponents, which struck fear in the four. Huo Shaotian had no regard for his life, but they certainly valued theirs!

The eldest senior brother, Gan Yi, bellowed, "Xiao Meng, you go kill Lin Tian. We will take care of this man."

Xiao Meng was the woman who had posed as the village girl to ambush Lin Tian. She raised her hand to draw her sword, bypassing Huo Shaotian to go straight for Lin Tian.

The Treasured Sword struck swiftly, and within a moment, the tip was less than a meter from Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian!"

With a great shout, Huo Shaotian disregarded the three behind them and leaped forward, diving in front of Xiao Meng and grabbing her ankle.

The Treasured Sword stopped thirty centimeters from Lin Tian's brow. Xiao Meng struggled fiercely but still couldn't budge an inch.

"Now, kill him!" Gan Yi yelled, as the other two spurred their weapons into a furious attack towards Huo Shaotian.

Huo Shaotian sensed the dual threats bearing down on him. If he let go, Lin Tian would undoubtedly die, but if he didn't, his own death was certain.

He had just declared that he would hold on for three minutes, even at the cost of his life. A promise was a promise, sacred and indissoluble.

A man can die, but one's given word must not be broken.

Facing the lethal intent from the two behind him, Huo Shaotian did not dodge, offering his back to the enemy, leaving the hope of life to Lin Tian.

He clutched the woman's ankle tightly and yelled to Lin Tian, "I've done all I could!"

"Meet your end, heh heh!"

The man in black spurred his Treasured Saber, hacking it towards Huo Shaotian's back.

Huo Shaotian closed his eyes, and in this moment, he appeared utterly serene!

At this critical moment, Lin Tian's eyes suddenly opened wide, sharp and piercing, as if a fierce beast sealed for ten thousand years had been unleashed, bringing a dramatic change to the world around him.

He fiercely kicked against the tree behind him, causing the thirty-meter-tall tree to shake incessantly and leaves to scatter in all directions.

Lin Tian, using the momentum, executed the Flight Technique, launching himself like an arrow shot obliquely forward; in less than a second, he was right beside Huo Shaotian.

"Die!"

With a thunderous roar, he punched out, landing a heavy blow on the chest of the man in black.

The man in black's knife stopped ten centimeters away from Huo Shaotian's back as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the sounds of his breaking bones crackling in the air, indeterminate in number.

With one punch, a life ended; Lin Tian's punch was delivered with deep hatred and infused with Divine Power, easily extinguishing a life.

"Lin Tian!" Huo Shaotian exclaimed, watching as Lin Tian's strength returned to its peak, his eyes filled with excitement.

At that time, Huo Shaotian still held onto the woman's ankle; Lin Tian showed no mercy, cruelly delivering a punch that ended the woman's life.

Lin Tian pulled out a healing potion and gave it to Huo Shaotian to take, then patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks to you. Leave the rest to me. Stand aside and take a rest!"

After drinking the healing potion, a warm surge flowed through Huo Shaotian's body; moved, he nodded and rested against a large tree.

Mo Xingyi and the other two were utterly shocked and shouted, "How... How did you recover so quickly? Why...!"

"Let the King of Hell tell you!"

Lin Tian bellowed and stimulated his superpower, Heaven's Punishment, gripping a Thunder Whip in his hand and mercilessly striking towards the man who claimed to be from the Tai-A Sect.

He hurriedly tried to block with his treasured sword, but the Thunder Whip shattered it instantly. Before he could use his superpower, he was turned into charred remains by the whip.

"Big... Big brother, kill him, kill him..." Mo Xingyi shrieked from behind; he was scared out of his wits.

Lin Tian drove the Thunder Whip down fiercely toward Gan Yi.

Gan Yi dodged frantically; the Thunder Whip grazed past him and broke a large tree behind him with force.

Witnessing the fall of the large tree, Gan Yi was horrified and fixed his gaze on Lin Tian, revealing an unmatched fighting spirit.

"Against you, I must unleash my true power!"

He pointed his treasured sword towards the sky and stimulated the superpower within him. Above the sword, a formidable energy burst forth, and slowly, a three-foot-long Qingfeng sword hovered above his head.

His superpower was the sword; he was the third person Lin Tian had met whose superpower was a weapon.

The Qingfeng sword contained an unmatched ferocious force, but at this moment, Lin Tian's eyes slowly grew heated with excitement.

He had previously slain a man in a black robe whose superpower was a heartless magic saber. Lin Tian took his superpower orb and handed it over to the 'Taotie System.'

The 'Taotie System' once said that if it received two superpower orbs that were weapons, he could exchange them for a matchless Divine Weapon manufactured by humanity three thousand years later.

Counting the heartless magic saber as one, if Lin Tian could seize Gan Yi's superpower orb, he could then exchange it for an ultimate weapon from the 'Taotie System.'

Lin Tian was excited at the thought, as the weapons in the 'Taotie System' were products of human technology three thousand years later, undoubtedly sharp and capable of cutting through iron like mud.

However, to gain the Divine Weapon from the 'Taotie System,' he needed to extract Gan Yi's superpower orb.

Those whose superpower was a weapon usually possessed formidable combat power. Gan Yi's Qingfeng sword erupted with endless ferocity.

To extract the superpower orb, he'd have to kill Gan Yi as quickly as possible, creating a chance to capture the orb.

He must do it quickly!

As quickly as possible!

Gan Yi, with his superpower activated, was very powerful. To take him down quickly, Lin Tian had to fight desperately.

Desperately!

Gan Yi, staring at the Qingfeng sword above his head, roared, "Hahaha… Lin Tian, today you'll witness the might of my Flying Dragon Sword!"

He named his superpower Flying Dragon.

With one hand on the treasured sword, and the other on Flying Dragon, he merged both hands together; the Special Ability Flying Dragon fused with the treasured sword.

Instantly, its power surged, and its brilliance shone, enveloping Lin Tian, cutting even two of Lin Tian's hairs in the process.

Just the sharpness of the sword was enough to slice Lin Tian's hairs from several meters away, showing just how terrifying 'Flying Dragon' was.

Gan Yi, wielding the Flying Dragon Sword, pointed it at Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, be careful!" Huo Shaotian, feeling the terror of the Flying Dragon Sword as well, loudly warned Lin Tian, unable to move, but wishing he could help if only he could stand.

"Great elder brother, that's the way," Mo Xingyi shouted from behind, his eyes on the Flying Dragon Sword, extremely thrilled.

Gan Yi was their Shenxing Gate's great elder brother, the closed-door disciple of Mo Xingyi's father, mighty and unparalleled among the younger disciples, a genius of the sect.

Initially, it was Gan Yi's superpower that his father had taken notice of, choosing him as his closed-door disciple to meticulously cultivate.

Gan Yi was a genius as well, shining brightly soon after joining the Shenxing Gate. Few people had seen Gan Yi's superpower, as he often defeated opponents without using it.

Even Mo Xingyi had only seen Gan Yi use his superpower twice, and this was the third time. The previous two times Gan Yi used his superpower, he had instantly killed two powerful enemies.

"Lin Tian, this time, you're dead for sure, hahaha...!"
