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

Chapter 196: Annihilation

In front of the Flame Alliance estate in Yang City, a massive square was packed with onlookers.

The black energy of Lin Langtian's strike wasn't flashy or loud, yet those with sharp senses could detect an uncanny, overwhelming force behind the dark palm print he unleashed. The crowd looked on, many shocked that Lin Langtian dared to face Shi Kun head-on.

They could see that Lin Langtian's base energy level was only at half-step Nirvana, and though his spiritual power was strong, he was still just a Sky Rune Master—not even a One-Seal Sky Rune Master. In theory, he had no chance against Shi Kun's power. Still, Lin Langtian's reputation was built on surpassing expectations and wielding power beyond his rank, so this battle's outcome was anything but certain.

While the crowd buzzed with speculation, Lin Langtian's dark palm print met Shi Kun's ferocious golden Futu Palm in midair. The expected thunderous explosion never came; instead, an eerie silence fell as a powerful devouring force emanated from the black palm. Under its influence, the powerful energy of Shi Kun's palm began to dissipate rapidly, while the dark palm only grew brighter and more intense.

"Break!" Lin Langtian's icy voice rang out.

Bang!

The fierce power of Shi Kun's attack vanished in an instant as his Futu Palm was eroded away by the black energy. The dark palm, still relentless, shot forward like lightning and struck Shi Kun, whose eyes widened with horror as he barely managed to shout, "Gold Shield!"

In that instant, Shi Kun's face drained of color, and his blood ran cold. A brilliant golden aura radiated outward from him, forming a protective barrier around his body.

Boom!

The dark palm moved unhesitatingly, descending onto the golden shield. Despite the shield's radiant defense, the strange energy within the black palm surged forward with a devouring force, as though it could absorb anything in its path. The impact was dull yet intense; Shi Kun's body was flung backward like a broken doll, slamming into the ground and creating a massive crater where he landed.

Pfft!

Shi Kun spat a mouthful of blood as he hit the ground, the crimson droplets tinged with a faint trace of black energy. At that moment, a profound silence fell over the square, and all whispered conversations came to an abrupt halt. The crowd's gaze shifted, growing solemn as they stared at Lin Langtian.

"Big Brother!" Shi Xuan and the other members of the Magma Rock Dynasty were horrified, rushing to the crater to pull Shi Kun out, his body bloodied and limp.

"Quick, let's go!" Shi Kun's face was pale, his voice weak and urgent.

Seeing his injuries and the despair in his eyes, Shi Xuan and the others shivered with fear, their hatred for Lin Langtian replaced by pure terror. This confrontation had made it clear: the Magma Rock Dynasty could no longer stand against the Flame Alliance.

Their Dynasty's reputation had become a stepping stone for Lin Langtian and the Flame Alliance, cementing their place as the dominant power in the Northwest region. Their rivalry ended in an undisputed victory for Lin Langtian, and the Magma Rock Dynasty, as the defeated, had little hope of regaining their former power.

But as they attempted to retreat, Lin Langtian's cold voice cut through the square, sending a chill through the Magma Rock Dynasty troops.

"Did I say you could leave?"

As Lin Langtian's command rang out, the morale of the Flame Alliance surged, their gazes fervent with admiration as they surrounded the remaining Magma Rock Dynasty soldiers. After a month of brutal fighting, any pretense of alliance between the two factions had long dissolved. With Shi Kun defeated, it was time to press their advantage and secure the Flame Alliance's uncontested supremacy over Yang City.

"Lin Langtian, must you really eliminate us to the last?" Shi Xuan's face was pale, his voice shaky as he shouted his protest.

They had come prepared to crush the Flame Alliance, yet now the tables had completely turned.

"How many other factions begged you for mercy when you destroyed them, Magma Rock Dynasty? Are you only brave against the weak?" Lin Langtian scoffed.

In the lawless ancient battlefield, Lin Langtian had no reservations about finishing off the Magma Rock Dynasty.

Shi Xuan's face blanched; Lin Langtian was right. The Dynasty had shown no mercy to countless rival factions over the years. Yet now, faced with the end of their own power, they were the ones pleading.

"Cough… Young Master Langtian," Shi Kun said, his voice weak. "The Magma Rock Dynasty is willing to merge with the Flame Alliance. Could you spare us just this once?"

In that moment, Shi Kun swallowed his pride, thinking it better to preserve his Dynasty through allegiance than to see it destroyed.

But Lin Langtian only sneered. "No need—I have no interest in keeping snakes by my side."

Though the Magma Rock Dynasty was powerful, Lin Langtian didn't want to add scheming rivals to his ranks. Waving his hand, he led the Flame Alliance in a fierce attack, charging toward the Magma Rock Dynasty soldiers, whose faces were twisted with despair.

The Magma Rock Dynasty quickly lost ground under the Flame Alliance's onslaught. But just as Lin Langtian was about to deal the final blow, a figure shot forward like a wolf from the shadows. A raspy voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Friend, leave a path open so that we may meet again. I hope you'll respect the name of Violent Wolf Tian Zhen and let this matter end here."
