Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 574 - 573: Explosion on the Spot!

"How could this be possible!? How could this be possible!?"

Lin Tan stared at Qin Heng, his face a mask of shock. Disbelief and fear warred in his eyes. He almost suspected he was hallucinating. How could something like this happen?

Lin Zhan was a great master at the peak of Open Force! With every move, he wielded thousands of pounds of strength, capable of crushing an ordinary person as easily as an ant! How could he be crippled so easily? This was the bodyguard the family had hired for an annual salary of fifty million yuan! Wasted, just like that?

What happened? What in the world happened? That young man had been sitting in the car, completely motionless. Why had Lin Zhan suddenly been sent flying, his right hand and entire right arm shattered? It defied all logic!

The surrounding crowd was also stunned, their gazes fixed on Qin Heng with bewildered uncertainty. They scanned their surroundings, trying to locate the assailant, desperate to see who could be so formidable. To send a great master at the peak of Open Force flying without even showing their face! Truly awesome! So powerful!

No one believed Lin Zhan had been sent flying by Qin Heng. They hadn't seen him make a move. It was even more inconceivable that Lin Zhan had been crippled by a mere "look" from Qin Heng!

Eye Technique!

Such profound abilities were utterly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

BANG!

Just then, the sound of a car door closing cut through the silence. Qin Heng alighted from the Rolls-Royce Phantom and slowly approached Lin Tan. "Kneel," he said indifferently. "Then sever one of your arms and scram."

Qin Heng couldn't be bothered to kill such an ant. If his opponent were at the peak of the Innate realm or a Semi-Saint, he might have some interest in killing them. A mere mortal, however, wasn't even worthy of dying by his hand. Of course, that was provided they knew their place.

"Who do you think you are, demanding I kneel!?" Lin Tan snarled at Qin Heng, his face sullen. "You little beast! Do you have any idea how powerful my Longxi Lin family is? Do you know what kind of existence stands behind the Lin family? Get lost, now! Don't you dare act so arrogantly here!"

Lin Tan wasn't afraid of Qin Heng. In his eyes, Qin Heng was, at most, a rich second-generation brat. The Longxi Lin family, however, was different. Behind the Lin family stood an immensely powerful Martial Dao family, one with a martial tradition spanning a thousand years!

However, he now suspected Qin Heng might have a hidden bodyguard, perhaps someone with Hidden Force or even at the Half-Step Transcendence level. That would explain how Lin Zhan was taken out so stealthily.

I don't have a strong bodyguard with me right now, so I'll have to let this little beast off for the time being! Lin Tan lowered his head, clenching his teeth, concealing the hatred and murderous intent in his eyes. When I get back, I'll bring the family's Half-step Grandmaster bodyguard! I'll make this little beast suffer a fate worse than death!

"The Longxi Lin family?" Qin Heng suddenly spoke, a light chuckle in his voice. "What's the Lin family? I could obliterate them with a flip of my hand. Kneel now, sever one of your arms, and you might still have a chance. Don't let your own foolishness bring disaster upon your entire family."

Qin Heng had never even heard of this family.

However, the mention of Longxi, located in the northwest region, did pique his interest. Previously, at Beijing's Yun Ding Pavilion, a member of the Parasitic Soul Clan from the Nine Nether Demonic Realm had possessed a host and headed to the northwest.

Originally, Qin Heng had planned for that Parasitic Soul Clan member to cause trouble for the Boundless Vajra Sect. Now, if this Longxi Lin family truly didn't know their place, he wouldn't mind taking a trip to Longxi to annihilate them and, incidentally, see what that Parasitic Soul Clan member was up to.

"What did you say!?" Lin Tan snapped his head up to look at Qin Heng, his expression incredulous. "Who do you think you are? Do you even hear yourself?"

He's mad! This little beast is absolutely mad! Claiming he could obliterate the Longxi Lin family with a flip of his hand? He must be dreaming!

The onlookers were also stunned by Qin Heng's words.

"Holy shit! This kid's way too arrogant! Does he really know what the Longxi Lin family represents?"

"I'm dying of laughter! Does he really think being a rich kid means he can do whatever he wants? This is hilarious!"

No one believed Qin Heng; they all treated him as a joke.

At this moment, an old man who appeared to be in his fifties emerged from the crowd. He wore simple training clothes and fixed Qin Heng with a grim stare. "Young man," he said, "did you just say the Longxi Lin family amounts to nothing? That sentence alone is enough for me to exterminate your entire family!"

"Uncle Fu! You've come to Beijing too!?" Lin Tan was overjoyed at the sight of the old man and rushed to his side. "Uncle Fu! You must avenge me! This little beast not only insulted our Lin family but also demanded I kneel to him and sever my own arm!"

This "Uncle Fu," whose original name was unknown, was called Lin Fu by Lin Tan. He was the Lin family's steward and, more importantly, a Martial Artist who had stepped into the Transcendence Realm—a Grandmaster-level powerhouse!

"Alright." Uncle Fu nodded and addressed Qin Heng. "Young man, do you think you can act so brazenly just because you have a Half-Step Transcendence Martial Artist protecting you? I reached the Transcendence Realm thirty years ago. This is no place for your arrogance."

He continued, "Originally, I had no intention of interfering in the grievances between youngsters; these old bones didn't want to meddle. But since you've insulted the Lin family, I must step forward. Kill yourself. Otherwise, I will exterminate your entire family!"

His declaration was utterly unambiguous! Uncle Fu had directly stated his intent: Qin Heng was to commit suicide, or his entire family would be annihilated!

HISS!

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp!

Damn! That was terrifying!

They all looked at Qin Heng with pity. This kid was done for—a typical case of showing off only to get struck by lightning!

"What did you just say?" Qin Heng's brow furrowed slightly. He looked at Uncle Fu and said calmly, "Say that again."

"Young man, don't harbor any illusions." Uncle Fu shook his head. "The Half-Step Transcendence expert hiding in the shadows cannot save you! Kill yourself now, or I'll exterminate your—AARGH!!"

Suddenly, the situation took a bizarre turn! Just as Uncle Fu, with his superior air, was speaking, he abruptly screamed. Before he could finish his sentence, his entire body began to inflate like a balloon!

Qin Heng's gaze was calm, as tranquil as a still lake, yet as profound as the Starry Sky. He looked at Uncle Fu and said lightly, "Exterminate my entire family? Old man, some words should not be spoken carelessly."

"You!?" Uncle Fu stared at Qin Heng in disbelief. He had now inflated into a massive sphere, his body grotesquely twisted, rendering him unable to speak.

BOOM!

Suddenly, with a deafening sound, Uncle Fu exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Flesh and bone alike were instantly pulverized, leaving no corpse behind. He had vanished completely from the world, leaving no trace, not even dust.

"No! No!! How is this possible!?" Lin Tan stared at Qin Heng in utter terror, his pupils constricting to pinpricks. He trembled uncontrollably, as if he had seen a ghost. "Who on earth are you? No! No! *What* are you!?"

He had seen it clearly! Qin Heng had merely glanced at Uncle Fu! Just an ordinary look, nothing special about it at all!

But! Right after that glance! Uncle Fu had exploded! Exploded! Exploded on the spot!

What kind of monster is this!? So horrifying! So terrifying!

THUD!

Lin Tan collapsed to his knees before Qin Heng, his knees slamming hard onto the uneven pavement. He kowtowed repeatedly, banging his head against the ground, and cried out, "Spare me! Please, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
