Chapter no.28 Lin Lingtian Vs Yang Xinhai

The Eastern Region of Dreamland was a vast and sprawling landscape, dotted with jagged mountains and sprawling forests. The sky was a deep blue, and the sun was shining brightly, casting long shadows across the rugged terrain.

Xiao Fei and his twin brother, Xiao Long, were sitting on a large rock, taking in the beauty of their surroundings. They were both dressed in simple, rugged clothing, their hair tied back in tight ponytails.

As they sat there, a hooded figure approached them, his face obscured by the shadows of his hood. He carried a large, ornate staff, adorned with intricate carvings and glowing runes. He knelt down beside Xiao Fei and began to heal his wounds with a soft, glowing light.

Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the hooded figure. "What's wrong?" Xiao Long asked, noticing the look of suspicion on his brother's face.

"That guy, I don't trust him," Xiao Fei replied, his voice low and tense. "It's like he knows what we're doing."

Xiao Long frowned, unsure of what to make of his brother's words. "Are you sure about that?" he asked.

"Yeah, I swear," Xiao Fei replied, his voice filled with conviction.

The brothers sat in silence for a moment, lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly, Xiao Fei's head bulged out and then exploded, covering his twin brother in a coating of blood.

Xiao Long's mind couldn't process what had just happened as a wave of cloud that contorted into a blade came upon the shocked brother.

( ~ Whom ~ )

Suddenly, Yang Xinhai appeared in front of the shocked brother, blasting apart the cloud blade before exclaiming, "Come out!"

The hooded figure scrambled to get up and run away from the monster that was Lin Lingtian. Lin Lingtian crashed onto the ground from the sky, dust flying everywhere. As the dust cleared, Lin Lingtian stood there, cold and calculative, staring back at Yang Xinhai.

"Looks like you have quite the reputation," Yang Xinhai exclaimed as Lin Lingtian narrowed his eyes and sent out chains made of clouds towards Yang Xinhai who raised an eyebrow. The sound of the chains whipping through the air filled the air and the ground shook as the two powerful warriors clashed.

As the dust cleared, Lin Lingtian stood there, cold and calculative, staring back at Yang Xinhai.

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet a Heavenly Yuan Realm Expert in this dump. This should be fun," Yang Xinhai exclaimed with a smile before his hand shot up to catch Xiao Long who had a look of revenge in his eyes.

"Let me go! I am going to kill that bastard!"

"Stop it, this guy is way out of your league," Yang Xinhai said, his voice firm and commanding.

"But!"

"Stay back and wait for the perfect opportunity to fuck him up," Yang Xinhai whispered to the crazed brother who was barely able to stop himself from running toward Lin Lingtian and getting himself killed.

Lin Lingtian and Yang Xinhai stood facing each other, each studying the other's stance and movements. Lin Lingtian held his sword made of clouds the ready and sharp blade glinted in the sun with Yang Xinhai smiling.

" Was that the ability you unlocked when you broke through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm?" Yang Xinhai asked as the realm beyond the Manifestation realm was mysterious as it granted a unique ability to anyone who broke through the said realm. No one knows exactly why or how the ability is manifested, some say it is a representation of one's will given a physical form while others claim that it is a manifestation of their talent but one thing is clear, those who breakthrough to the Heavenly Yuan Realm aren't individuals that could be considered human.

The sound of Yang Xinhai flexing his fists and bouncing on the balls of his feet filled the air as he prepared to pounce at any moment. Armor began to manifest all around his body, covering him in a protective shell.

Lin Lingtian was the first to strike, lunging forward with a quick thrust of his sword. The sound of his sword slicing through the air was like a scream. Yang Xinhai easily dodged the attack, ducking and weaving as he closed in on his opponent. He landed a series of quick punches and kicks, trying to catch Lin Lingtian off guard but he was not some amateur. Lin Lingtian gracefully parried each blow, his sword flashing through the air as he expertly countered each attack. The sound of their weapons clashing was like a symphony of metal and steel.

Despite his best efforts, Yang Xinhai was no match for Lin Lingtian's superior technique and agility in conjunction with Lin Lingtian's ability to form weapons. Lin Lingtian danced around his opponent, his sword a blur of steel as he landed precise, powerful blows. The sound of his sword cutting through the air was like a death knell. Yang Xinhai was forced to the ground, his arms and legs battered and bruised.

"Now!" Yang Xinhai exclaimed as he grasped Lin Lingtian's sword. The ground beneath them lit up as a runic array formed. The sound of the runes activating was like a song.

"This is for my brother you bastard!" Xiao Long roared out as he clapped his hands together before the runic array formation begin to brighten and then; the air was filled with a loud, deafening roar as the explosion engulfed the entire field. The sound of the explosion was deafening, and the heat was intense. A bright, pulsating ball of energy expanded outward, radiating waves of heat and light. The force of the explosion sent everything flying through the air, and anyone caught in the blast was thrown to the ground.

As the energy dissipated and the dust began to settle, the full extent of the destruction became apparent. Smoke billowed from the charred remains of what had once been ground as everything was scorched and blackened. The smell of smoke and ash filled the air.

Despite the chaos and destruction, there was a sense of awe in the air. The explosion had been a truly breathtaking display of power, and those who had witnessed it would never forget the experience.

Xiao Long crashed onto the ground as tears ran down his face. "Brother, I did it. I took those two out."

Suddenly the smoke cloud began to contort as Lin Lingtian walked away with a cloud covering his body in a protective shell.

"No way." Those were the last words spoken by Xiao Long as chain spears made of clouds pierced through his body, riddling it with holes as his blood covered the ground in a veil of red. The sound of his screams was like a nightmare.

Lin Lingtian clicked his tongue as he turned around not noticing that Xiao Long was still alive; just barely.

Xiao Long clenched his hands as he pointed his hand toward Lin Lingtian's back.

"It's not over yet." He said as he used his last strength to activate his last attack. The runic array he had set up before the explosion, activated once again this time with a much greater destructive power.
