I don't like that look in your eyes, that look as if I'm a fool you can take advantage of, even if you are Ning Tian's mother.
It's just like Yan Shaozhe's... I won't put up with that!
Lin Yun's idea was simple.
My friendship and relationship with Ning Tian is a matter between me and her. It has nothing to do with you, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, or the entire sect. Empress Bing didn't dare to become arrogant just because of our relationship, and yet you're already trying to plot against me before I've even made any commitment to Ning Tian?
You're a true merchant!
And Lin Yun was right; Ning Zhirou did have some ulterior motives.
Merchants seek profit. For a single coin, they want to get two or even ten coins of profit. When Ning Tian returned to the sect and told Ning Zhirou that Lin Yun would be coming soon, Ning Zhirou was immediately excited.
Why? Because it meant her daughter had succeeded!
As long as a relationship was successfully established, she could seize the opportunity to get Lin Yun to become more deeply tied to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Maybe, while gaining a good son-in-law, she could also find a powerful backer for the sect, one not weaker than Shrek or the Body Sect!
She was an old fox, and she was very good at hiding all her emotions and motives. But she couldn't stand up to the fact that Lin Yun had a cheat!
As Lin Yun's strength grew, his ultimate talents would naturally grow stronger as well. For example, the recovery power of Dragon Blood, the devouring and conversion speed of Dragon Devour, and the special effects of Dragon Might!
Dragon Might: Instills awe and submission in creatures with a bloodline no stronger than one's own, with a special emphasis on the Dragon clan.
What is awe and submission?
Absolute obedience from the heart!
After Lin Yun raised all his soul rings to the hundred-thousand-year level, he found that the Dragon Might talent seemed to have given him a small side effect: he could vaguely sense the attitude of others toward him when facing them directly.
The first to be tested with this ability were, of course, Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian.
Xiao Xiao's attitude toward Lin Yun was simple: dependence and affection. In various situations, her attitude would change with her emotional fluctuations.
As for Ning Tian, although her feelings were mixed with other emotions, they were mostly admiration and submission. Ning Tian admired power, and Lin Yun was undoubtedly the perfect god in her heart. She hadn't been corrupted in her mindset like Ning Zhirou, so she was naturally lovestruck.
In contrast, as soon as Lin Yun met Ning Zhirou's gaze, he felt it. The scheming intent was too strong.
You can't be like Yan Shaozhe!
So, Lin Yun made his move, giving her a huge show of force. Yan Shaozhe's schemes didn't matter to him; he was a dead man sooner or later anyway.
But how could a subordinate scheme against their boss?
Only what I give you is yours!
But it was clear that not everyone understood this principle, nor did everyone know how strong the force behind Lin Yun was. The two protector Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect belonged to the naive type. They thought that since they had cultivated to the Titled Douluo level, they were almost invincible.
How could a young whippersnapper like you show off in front of us old men?
And 'Since you have seen this King, why do you not bow?'?
How dare you!
Before Ning Zhirou could speak, the two Titled Douluos jumped out. Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings appeared on each of them. They rose into the air, one after the other, and came before Lin Yun.
"You brat, this old man has been traversing the continent for more than a hundred years, and I have never seen a junior as arrogant as you!" The level 96 Super Douluo, Heavenly Sword, looked at Lin Yun with an unfriendly expression.
The level 94 Titled Douluo, Purple Star, folded his arms and said coldly, "This is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, not a place for a junior like you to act so brazenly."
"If you know what's good for you, retreat quickly. Otherwise, even with a Titled Douluo protecting you, you won't be able to leave the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect safely!"
They were both famous powerhouses who had been around for many years. Who didn't have a temper? Especially two Titled Douluos who had been at the top of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for many years. Lin Yun's attitude had undoubtedly enraged them.
Furthermore, Empress Bing was using the scales she got from Gu Yue Na to conceal her aura. Although Heavenly Sword Douluo and Purple Star Douluo sensed the threatening presence of Empress Bing, they couldn't detect her suffocatingly fierce power because of the scales.
This was why they suddenly charged forward. Ignorance made them fearless.
If they knew that Empress Bing was a forty-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the two old men would have been so scared they'd be peeing their pants.
And Empress Bing was not going to tolerate them.
The entire soul beast race has to be respectful to Lin Yun. What are you two insignificant nobodies to dare to speak so presumptuously in front of His Highness?
"Emperor's Fury!" Empress Bing snorted, breaking the unspoken code of conduct by making the first move. Two brilliant emerald green light beams shot out from her fists, each aimed at Heavenly Sword Douluo and Purple Star Douluo.
As for the result...
It was an instant kill, of course!
With a cultivation level comparable to a level 98 peak, the ultimate attribute of ice, and combat power on par with a peak Titled Douluo, how could Empress Bing in this state be countered by two useless Titled Douluos?
Did they think everyone was like Xuan Zi?
Ning Zhirou watched in shock as her sect's Titled Douluos were frozen into two ice sculptures and fell from the sky. The expressions on their faces were still a mix of indifference and disdain.
"A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Ning Zhirou quickly cried out, flying up to catch the two Titled Douluos who had been frozen into ice sculptures.
Ning Zhirou dared not let them fall. Who knew if they would shatter the ice on their bodies or break into a pile of ice shards?
These were the only two remaining Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
It was a bit pathetic.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect ten thousand years later was even weaker in top-tier combat power than it was ten thousand years ago. At the very least, Sword and Bone Douluo from ten thousand years ago would definitely have crushed these two useless Titled Douluos.
Even with soul cores making it much easier to break through to the Titled Douluo level, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had significantly regressed. No wonder by the time of "The Legend of the Dragon King," the people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could only follow a few unremarkable commoners to get some recognition.
But no matter what, Lin Yun's show of force was complete.
Instantly killing the two protector Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect showed that Empress Bing alone could completely wipe out the sect.
This was a world where the strong were revered. A single powerhouse with overwhelming strength could easily make a major force feel intimidated and even terrified!
Lin Yun smiled faintly, landing in front of Ning Zhirou with Empress Bing, and once again, he spoke those eight words.
"Since you have seen this King, why do you not bow?"
