Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

Chapter 183: Crushing Two High-Level Dynasties

Outside Thunder Rock Valley, the atmosphere was tense and heavy. All eyes were drawn, as if by some magnetic force, to the figure in blue robes standing in the midst of the Yang City forces: the Flame Alliance's First Brother, Lin Langtian.

The Yang City crowd was well aware of Lin Langtian's reputation, having heard stories of his battles and his conflict with the Saintlight Dynasty at the trade outpost. His feats had indeed left them shocked, yet many couldn't help but feel that taking on two high-level dynasties would be too much, even for him.

In midair, Hua Yun and Wu Mo gazed curiously at Lin Langtian, their expressions tightening slightly. Though the Flame Alliance had caught their attention as a coalition of low-level dynasties, they still saw it as a mere gathering of the weak, with Lin Langtian being the only noteworthy figure among them. But, much to their surprise, the so-called "First Brother" of the Flame Alliance had indeed stepped forward, openly challenging them.

"So, his name is Lin Langtian?" Hua Yun murmured, a mocking glint in his narrowed eyes. "He does have a bit of nerve, I'll give him that."

"A half-step Nirvana? Even if he has a few tricks up his sleeve, there's no way he could make waves. If he wants to play the hero, let's use him as an example." Wu Mo sneered and waved his hand. From a mountain cloaked in mist behind them, there was a sudden surge of figures descending.

In seconds, a host of black-clad warriors appeared at the mouth of Thunder Rock Valley, each exuding a powerful aura. The weakest among them had reached the peak of the Creation Stage, while twenty others radiated the formidable strength of half-step Nirvana masters. Clearly, the strength of two high-level dynasties was no small matter.

Yet Lin Langtian appeared unaffected. He glanced calmly at Lin Dong, Mo Ling, and the other Flame Alliance members. "Ready?"

"We'll go anywhere with you, First Brother!" the Flame Alliance members shouted in unison. Lin Dong added with a smile, "Leave these lackeys to us, Brother Langtian. We won't let you down."

Nodding in acknowledgment, Lin Langtian turned to Mo Tie and the other three mid-level dynasty leaders and asked, "What's your decision?"

Though the three men and their mid-level dynasties were strong, Lin Langtian saw this as a test; if they proved themselves here, they might very well be brought under the Flame Alliance. But if fear of the two high-level dynasties made them hesitate, there would be no need to continue their alliance.

Hearing Lin Langtian's question, the three exchanged glances, hesitating only a moment before clasping their hands in respect. "We'll stand with you, Brother Langtian!"

After last night's fight against the beast horde, they had already come to respect Lin Langtian, and seeing how his followers trusted him so completely inspired them to take a chance on him. Better to wager on Lin Langtian's audacity than give up now.

When Mo Tie and the others agreed, Lin Langtian's expression relaxed slightly. With a light step, he moved forward, appearing at the head of his group, followed by the Flame Alliance members. Mo Tie and the other mid-level dynasties quickly joined him. Soon, the united forces of the Flame Alliance and the mid-level dynasties stood face to face with the two high-level dynasties.

This bold confrontation stirred ripples through the Yang City crowd. Many harbored mixed feelings—part of them hoping for a miracle, part fearing that not even Lin Langtian could alter the brutal reality.

The sun dipped, casting a blood-red glow over Thunder Rock Valley, heightening the tension between the Flame Alliance and the two high-level dynasties. In mid-air, Hua Yun and Wu Mo stood with hands clasped behind them, their expressions calm, exuding an air of confidence that could only come from Nirvana masters.

Ling Zhi and Liu Yuan exchanged astonished glances, surprised that Lin Langtian would actually dare to stand against two high-level dynasties.

"Lin Langtian, for someone from a low-level dynasty, you've gained quite a name here on the ancient battlefield," Hua Yun sneered. "You've been bold, but there's a fine line between ambition and arrogance. How does a half-step Nirvana realm cultivator like you think he could challenge our two high-level dynasties?" His voice dripped with mockery as if watching an amusing spectacle.

"Enough talk," Lin Langtian replied, his face impassive. "The two of you can come at me together."

"What?!" Hua Yun and Wu Mo were stunned, their faces quickly darkening. Lin Langtian's words and tone had struck a nerve. How dare a low-level dynasty upstart show such disdain toward their high-level dynasties?

"What arrogance! You'll pay dearly for your insolence!" With sneering smiles, Hua Yun and Wu Mo gave the order to attack, sending their warriors charging at Lin Langtian with deadly intent. In their eyes, there was no need for them to personally engage; their subordinates would suffice to bring the Flame Alliance to its knees.

But before the enemy forces could reach Lin Langtian, they were blocked by Lin Dong and the rest of the Flame Alliance, igniting a fierce battle on the field. Though the high-level dynasties had superior numbers, Lin Dong and the powerful Flame Alliance members held their ground, the fight reaching a deadlock.

Lin Dong, with his peak Creation Stage power, handled himself against multiple half-step Nirvana foes, even gaining the upper hand—a testament to his formidable strength.

"Damn it, how is the Flame Alliance this strong?" Hua Yun's face darkened as he watched his forces struggle. "Let's cut off the head to end this."

"Good idea," Wu Mo replied calmly. "If we capture him, the Flame Alliance will crumble, and we'll send a clear message to the rest of Yang City."

But just as the two prepared to make their move, an overwhelming force suddenly bore down on them.

"Great Sky Phoenix Seal!"

From above, Lin Langtian's cold voice rang out as a surge of black flame energy coalesced into a massive shadowy phoenix above him. The black phoenix seemed almost alive, letting out a piercing cry as it spread its wings. Its entire form burned with an eerie, dark flame, searing across the sky and bearing down on Hua Yun and Wu Mo with a crushing force.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The phoenix's black flames ignited the surrounding energy, causing shockwaves that sent everyone reeling. Even hardened warriors felt their skin crawl under its oppressive aura.

"No… this can't be!" Hua Yun and Wu Mo stared in shock at the black phoenix, the overwhelming energy filling them with dread. They realized that Lin Langtian's attack had surpassed an ordinary Nirvana-level blow. The terrifying dark flames emanating from the phoenix struck an icy fear into their hearts. They couldn't believe that such a powerful technique was wielded by someone only at half-step Nirvana.

"Nirvana Golden Body!"

Without hesitation, Hua Yun and Wu Mo shouted in unison, unleashing bursts of golden light from their bodies as a protective golden sheen enveloped them. They appeared as if coated in liquid gold, radiating an aura of invincibility.

As the golden light encased them, the Yang City crowd gasped in awe, shocked that Hua Yun and Wu Mo had been forced to activate their Nirvana Golden Bodies so soon.

Boom!

The black flame phoenix collided with them like a meteor, releasing a fearsome storm of energy. Shockwaves exploded outward, rattling the ground.

In the next moment, everyone watched, wide-eyed, as Hua Yun and Wu Mo coughed up blood. Their battered forms were hurled back like broken kites, crashing heavily into a distant mountain, leaving their fate uncertain.
