Top-Tier Superpower Student

The disciple's face was pale with terror as he said frantically, "Up ahead there's a group... about a dozen evildoers, fighting with some of our disciples. They've already killed several, and the ones who are surrounded are about to fall. We have to run..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was already about to run, but Lin Tianyi grabbed him back.

"Tell me, where exactly are those evildoers ahead?" Lin Tian roared.

The disciple quickly struggled free from Lin Tian and cried out, "Run fast, what does it matter where those disciples are? Even if you're strong, your cultivation is only at the half-step Condensation Mirror stage. There are more than a dozen evildoers, and even Huo Shaotian, who ranks fourth, is about to be killed by them."

"What, Huo Shaotian is ahead?"

Lin Tian exclaimed in shock. Huo Shaotian was a life-and-death friend to him, and now that he was in trouble, Lin Tian felt compelled to rescue him.

He grabbed the disciple by the collar with a murderous look in his eyes and bellowed, "Tell me quickly, where are those evildoers?"

During the disciple competition, Lin Tian had ranked first; his strength was something this disciple knew well. Although he was angry, he didn't dare lash out. Trembling, he pointed to a huge pagoda tree a kilometer away and said in fear, "At... at that big pagoda tree, there are at least ten... a dozen evildoers."

Having learned the location, Lin Tian let him go. Displaying his Neural Response Speed Ability coupled with the Flight Technique, he shot off like an arrow towards the pagoda tree.

Seeing Lin Tian fly into the air, the disciple was utterly astonished; he rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. But when he reopened his eyes, Lin Tian had vanished.

"Be careful!"

He shouted, perhaps out of admiration for Lin Tian, he kindly issued a warning.

In less than twenty seconds, Lin Tian arrived under the pagoda tree. Following the shouts and cries, Lin Tian found Huo Shaotian and the others.

Just as that person had said, at that moment, a dozen evildoers were brutally attacking Huo Shaotian and three disciples. On the ground lay the bodies of five disciples. Huo Shaotian was severely wounded, and the other three disciples were also injured to varying degrees.

Right then, an evildoer picked up a thick, three-meter-long branch and swung it, sweeping toward Huo Shaotian.

Huo Shaotian was engaged in combat with another villain and was unprepared. The branch struck his back hard; he spurted a mouthful of blood and was flung twenty meters away, seriously injured and near death.

Another evildoer quickly followed up, swinging his branch fiercely at Huo Shaotian.

"Die!"

The evildoer approached Huo Shaotian in the blink of an eye, the branch aimed straight for his forehead.

Huo Shaotian's pupils dilated rapidly, his eyes filled with terror. He wanted to dodge, but his bones felt as if they had come apart, leaving him with no strength at all.

In the face of death, no one is fearless!

In the end, Huo Shaotian closed his eyes; he couldn't struggle and could only wait for death.

"Swoosh!"

In the nick of time, a Flying Dagger came flying from not far away, hitting the evildoer right between the eyes with precision.

The evildoer dropped dead on the spot, 'thud', falling onto Huo Shaotian.

What Huo Shaotian awaited was not the lethal branch, but Lin Tian, his savior.

"Tian... Brother Tian...!" Huo Shaotian strained to call out, trying to get up, but he had no strength to do so.

Lin Tian swiftly handed him a healing potion and said, "Rest here for a while, drink this. I'm going to save the others."

After he spoke, Lin Tian charged alone towards the dozen evildoers to rescue the three trapped disciples.

Huo Shaotian saw the healing potion, slapped his forehead, and thought, "Lin Tian even gave me five of these. At the critical moment, I actually forgot about them."

He quickly drank a bottle, and the healing potion worked wonders. Instantly, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding, and the flesh at the wound site began scabbing over at a visible rate.

Lin Tian rushed over, and the three evildoers spotted him and turned to attack Lin Tian.

"Burn the Heavens!"

He roared, as the Ability Source surged violently around him, raising his hand to summon a towering Fire Dragon.

The Fire Dragon unleashed its divine might, its ruthless flames capable of burning all under heaven, and without a single sound, the three evildoers were engulfed by the Fire Dragon and reduced to charred corpses.

Lin Tian prevailed in an instant and activated the Flight Technique. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind two more evildoers.

Assuming that the recently defeated three evildoers would have killed Lin Tian, or at least held him off for a while, no evildoer was watching him. They continued to besiege the three disciples, not expecting that in a few breaths, Lin Tian would kill three evildoers. The remaining evildoers had no time to defend themselves, and Lin Tian, with two punches, killed the two evildoers.

In less than two minutes, Lin Tian had killed all five evildoers, cutting their forces nearly in half. The remaining evildoers were now forced to take notice of Lin Tian, with six of them attacking Lin Tian together.

Lin Tian was fearless, his divine might erupting with one hand unleashing Heaven's Punishment and the other Burn the Heavens.

Lightning streaked across the sky as if Thor himself had possessed him.

Fire blazed to the heavens as if Zhurong had been reborn.

Lightning and fire raged unrestrained, clashing and killing, their divine might overshadowing the world, their slaughter boundless!

In under two minutes, the six evildoers were all slain by Lin Tian. Only two remained, who were attacking the three disciples. They saw Lin Tian's divine might and were too terrified to continue the fight, turning to flee.

"Think you can run? No way!"

Lin Tian bellowed and quickly caught up, completely obliterating the last two evildoers!

With all the evildoers killed, the three exhausted disciples thanked Lin Tian and then all sat down on the ground, leaning back against each other, gasping for air.

The battle they had just fought pushed them to their limits. They were all severely injured. Had Lin Tian arrived just two minutes later, they likely would have all been killed.

Lin Tian gave each of them a bottle of healing potion and then helped Huo Shaotian over.

He asked, "What happened here? These evildoers seemed organized, they ganged up on you. Where are the Mirror Condensing masters who maintain order in Death Valley? What are they doing?"

Huo Shaotian shook his head, gazing at the bodies of the five disciples on the ground, and said with self-reproach, "I don't know either. I came to rescue others, but to my surprise, not only did I fail to save them, I nearly got myself killed!"

Lin Tian patted his shoulder, saying, "It's okay, we all know you did your best."

One of the disciples spoke up, "I don't know the specifics, but I saw a man in black, with the strength of a Mirror Condenser, personally kill one of the enforcers."

"A man in black?"

Lin Tian exclaimed in shock, wondering how there could be a man in black in Death Valley, in addition to the evildoers, disciples, and the Mirror Condensing enforcers.

"Yes, the man in black, and they are in league with these evildoers!" the disciple emphasized again.

"In league with them!"

Could it be that an unforeseen event had occurred?
