Wei Xia sighed inwardly.

"Isn't Lin Jinglong just a sharp knife in our hands, in our original plan?"

"A knife is something that is too rigid and easily breaks!"

"He chose this path himself, so I can't blame him."

Zhong Lixiu suddenly sat back down with a gloomy face.

He had many doubts in his mind. In his opinion, Wei Xia was not usually such a treacherous and cunning person.

For some reason, after the martial arts tournament began, he made several decisions that he could not understand.

Previously, Zhuge Zun had already crossed the red line of the rules by activating the Five Elements Formation. Logically, Wei Xia should have intervened to stop him, but he ignored it.

This time, Lin Jinglong displayed extraordinary talent.

He should have received special favor from their elders, even preferential treatment that transcends all rules, at least to save his life.

But Wei Xia remained indifferent.

"The Second Elder is definitely hiding something from me!"

Zhong Lixiu thought bitterly to herself.

Meanwhile, outside the True Dragon Cave, Tantai Kong looked with delight at the cave entrance, which had been completely exposed after the surrounding vegetation was burned away by the karmic fire.

"Hahaha! I finally found it!"

A look of joy appeared on Tantai Kong's face.

"Lin Jinglong, how long are you going to keep hiding in this burrow like a rat in a hole?"

"You can barely be considered a prodigy!"

"I'm giving you a chance to die with dignity!"

Tantai Kong's tone was extremely arrogant.

This time, his words had an effect.

Lin Jinglong appeared alone at the cave entrance.

He was still in a sorry state, his clothes were burned and torn, and one of his arms was useless.

However, when she met Tantai Kong's gaze...

But a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes!

"Oh? You haven't given up hope of survival yet?"

Tantai Kong looked at Lin Jinglong, who was full of fighting spirit.

He was simply surprised. Logically speaking, Lin Jinglong had already been on the verge of death after their previous encounter. If he had any trump cards, he should have used them long ago.

How dare you stare at me like that?

"Enough. Killing an ant like you is just a piece of cake. I've already sensed that the little girl with the Immaculate Body is hiding in the cave behind you!"

"Kill you, and I'll continue refining pills!"

Tantai Kong's figure disappeared into the air once again.

At the same time, powerful karmic flames swept towards Lin Jinglong.

The scorched earth in front of Lin Jinglong even cracked instantly, and was about to melt into lava!

All of this proves the immense power of karmic fire!

But Lin Jinglong remained standing in place, feeling the scorching karmic fire surging into his body, penetrating his limbs and bones.

But this time, I didn't feel any pain.

Instead, it felt like a gentle spring breeze.

Tantai Kong, who had been invisible in the air, suddenly appeared. He looked at Lin Jinglong, who had not moved, with a look of astonishment.

"What are you doing...?"

"I can also use the Blazing Fire!"

Lin Jinglong glanced at him unintentionally.

Then he raised his hand and released all the pent-up anger he had been holding back at that moment!

Tantai Kong in the air looked as if he had been hit by a cannonball!

His figure was instantly sent flying dozens of feet away, rolling down the scorched hillside. His body and face were covered in black ash, making him look like a wolfhound crawling and rolling in the mud.

When he got up, before he could even speak...

Lin Jinglong's figure had already appeared in front of him!

"Didn't you enjoy hitting me before?"

"Bang!"

A simple yet powerful punch landed on his face.

Tantai Kong flew out like a cannonball again, plowing a deep mark on the ground before barely stopping.

Then came hundreds and thousands of terrifying attacks!

Lin Jinglong, who had been holding back his anger, unleashed it all at this moment, launching a relentless barrage of attacks!

After he used all eighteen martial arts skills.

Lin Jinglong was constantly moving through the air with Tantai Kong's figure, but the one who attacked was Lin Jinglong, and Tantai Kong had no time to defend!

"Lin Jinglong!"

Tantai Kong finally roared in anger.

The Fudo Myo-o technique has been restarted.

His translucent body hovered in the air, staring angrily at Lin Jinglong. He withstood several heavy blows from the Banlan Hammer, his chest bones caved in, and blood flowed from his seven orifices!

"You actually mastered the Immovable King Technique?"

He looked at Lin Jinglong in disbelief.

"Hehe, is this technique difficult to learn?"

Upon hearing this, Tantai Kong fell silent.

It took him a full three months, under the careful guidance of Emperor Wu's father, to barely get the basics down!

Although that happened when he was eight years old.

At that time, he had only just begun to learn martial arts.

But is Lin Jinglong's comprehension too extraordinary?

"Qualifications and family background are meaningless to me, Lin Jinglong."

"You keep calling yourself a prodigy!"

"You think I, Lin Jinglong, can only be barely compared to you? But have you ever thought about this?"

Lin Jinglong took out the Dragon Roar Blade and pointed it at Tantai Kong.

"You've never caught my eye, and you're not even qualified to be compared to me?"

"You dare to call yourself a prodigy?"

"die!"

The blood-red blade in Lin Jinglong's hand emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

Tantai Kong was furious.

Then his pupils suddenly contracted.

For the first time in this cave, he experienced a life-or-death crisis!

"Immovable as a mountain!"

In an instant, his body entered a state of pure crystal, transforming from a semi-transparent state into a completely transparent one!
