Chapter 700: Chapter 353: True Buddha Demon Suppression Array!_2
Her relationship with Luo Meixiang was indeed good, but no matter how good, it could not overshadow interests.
"What if I don’t leave?"
Lin Beichen suddenly said.
"If you don’t leave, then I’ll have to carry you out. However, by then, you might be missing some parts. But since you are a cultivator, I suppose you don’t care about such external matters. I hope you can forgive me under the Nine Netherworld."
Xu Hongzhu said with a smile, her eyes flickering with a cold light.
As her words fell, the five assassins outside the pavilion suddenly exuded a fierce aura, filled with murderous intent. It seemed that with just one order, they would charge in relentlessly.
These assassins were death warriors raised by the Xu Family from a young age. They were not skilled in other things, but when it came to killing, they never hesitated.
Moreover, Lin Beichen discovered something else.
Among the ten snipers aiming at him from afar, half of them had reached the top level of cultivation in the underworld.
These assassins were fully capable of joining the Assassin Alliance and becoming elite aces.
The Xu Family indeed deserved their name as the serpent of the south, having raised so many experts within a local family.
Lin Beichen suddenly sighed softly, looking silently at Xu Hongzhu.
"What happened today, was it your own decision? Your father probably doesn’t know you acted, right?"
"What’s this got to do with my father? I’ve represented the Xu Family for years. I am now the head of the Xu Family!"
Xu Hongzhu frowned, saying coldly.
"A few years ago, my father felt that his cultivation was perfect, so he went into seclusion to breakthrough the Death Gate. Later, when the Celestial Gate opened, he felt the Power of Heaven and Earth, which made a great breakthrough. He should be coming out soon, and then he will not avoid contending with you.
"But as far as I’m concerned, there’s no need for such trouble. If you don’t agree to my terms, I’m afraid you won’t live to see that day he emerges."
In his life, Xu Jiangyan was a true hero, single-handedly strengthening the south, becoming one of the southern overlords, firmly seated at the top of Huadu.
Since childhood, Xu Hongzhu had always been under her father’s shadow.
She had always wanted to prove herself, so she started doing business when she was still a young girl. By the age of twenty-five, she had already become the decision-maker of the Xu Family.
Yet, she still wasn’t satisfied, feeling that she hadn’t done enough.
Lin Beichen was her father’s life-long opponent. If she could defeat Lin Beichen first, she believed she could prove herself stronger than her father.
However, she felt some regret in her heart.
Despite Lin Beichen’s great reputation, his performance to her seemed a bit undeserved.
This man simply didn’t deserve to be a master. For the sake of a woman, he was willing to walk into danger willingly. Reckless and foolish, truly a bumbling idiot.
"Qin Wenwu, how could he have died at the hands of such a person?"
Xu Hongzhu was extremely puzzled in her heart.
"Your father went into seclusion to break through the Celestial Gate?"
Lin Beichen’s eyes lit up slightly.
"I see. No wonder since I arrived in Huadu, he’s been avoiding meeting me and let you make your decisions, setting up traps."
"Lin Beichen, what exactly do you want to say?"
Xu Hongzhu said coldly, her heart filled with hidden anger.
She challenged her father, but never insulted him.
In her heart, her father was a man who stood tall and firm, a rare hero in the world.
According to Lin Beichen’s words, her father had become a coward, too afraid to fight him!
Unthinkable!
"You are not a person of the martial world, so it’s natural you don’t understand what I’m saying."
Lin Beichen said gently, looking at Xu Hongzhu calmly.
"If your father were here, he would certainly beg me for mercy, kneeling to ask me to spare you!
If you were a cultivator, you would definitely die today. But seeing as you are just an ordinary person, though you have committed a sin, it is not worth the death penalty. Kneel and kowtow, and I will spare you this once!"
Lin Beichen said coldly, a towering aura erupting from him.
Lin Beichen was the number one in the world, the controller of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the opener of the Celestial Gate era, the only grandmaster of the Mystic Sect in the world.
As long as a cultivator reached a certain realm, how could they not know Lin Beichen’s strength?
Such weapons as hot guns, unless deploying large quantities of atomic and hydrogen bombs, would not harm Lin Beichen at all.
No matter how big the caliber, how powerful the anti-materiel armor-piercing guns were, to Lin Beichen, they were just toys.
It must be known, even Qin Wenwu could, by himself alone, face thousands of robbers and bandits.
In a single charge, Qin Wenwu killed tens of thousands of robbers, defeating their army.
As for then, Qin Wenwu was merely a master of the Death Gate, without having stepped into the Celestial Gate.
Xu Hongzhu thought she was great, but she didn’t consider the variables in being a cultivator.
She was limited to Huadu, ignorant of the greater heights and depths of the world.
"No wonder the Xu Family has been silent and without expansion after dominating Huadu. It turns out Xu Jiangyan’s daughter lacks the talent for cultivation, making it impossible to pass on his strong powers. Truly unfortunate and pitiful."
"Lin Beichen, you are too much."
Xu Hongzhu was filled with anger, unable to suppress her killing intent any longer.
She had said much to Lin Beichen, advising him multiple times, only because she felt guilty towards Luo Meixiang, hoping to resolve this peacefully and not wanting to kill Luo Meixiang’s beloved.
Luo Meixiang always said Lin Beichen was just a Feng Shui Master, but anyone could see Luo Meixiang looked at Lin Beichen differently!
Seeing them spending all day together would make it clear they weren’t just teacher-student or doctor-patient but rather lovers.
She wanted to let him go, but Lin Beichen gave no regard.
Since that’s so, this matter could only be resolved by one person’s death.
"Miss, no need to get angry, let us deal with this person."
The old man said, seething with murderous intent, his eyes emitting endless cold light.
The old man and the five disciples behind him jointly formed the True Buddha Demon Suppression Array.
Though their strength was much inferior, this array could hold Lin Beichen, and with the snipers’ covert attacks, they were confident they could kill him.
The True Buddha Demon Suppression Array was an ancient Southern Shaolin legacy.
Using this array, they had once trapped and killed countless ferocious and malevolent beings.
Before the Celestial Gate opened, cultivators had a very tough time, often resorting to inhumane experiments for breakthroughs.
Some could hide well, escaping even if discovered.
But some unlucky ones, when caught, had no means of escape.
In Southern cultivator history, hundreds of masters had died under the True Buddha Demon Suppression Array.
This array was also one of the most widespread and practical ones in the south.
Seeing the formation of the six-man array, Lin Beichen’s eyes revealed a trace of ridicule.
"Such a disgrace."
Lin Beichen shook his head gently, raising his hand. A vast spiritual light flickered in his hand, instantly creating numerous afterimages as it surged forward.
Under the starlight, the bamboo forest in the backyard swayed.
Water splashed as clusters of water drops, like meteors in the night sky, flashed repeatedly, flying and hanging in mid-air.
Green light and water converged into one, instantly changing the color of the world. The backyard of Phoenix Club turned into an actual Immortal Realm.
Spiritual qi filled the yard, and suddenly, there was a muffled sound.
An armor-piercing bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle fired, instantly crossing hundreds of meters, hitting where Lin Beichen’s afterimage stood.
With a roar, a small pit exploded where Lin Beichen had been standing.
The larger the projectile, the greater the cavitation power.
A bullet would create only a pinhole-sized entry wound but tear the body apart from the inside out.
But Lin Beichen had sensed the threat before the sniper rifle moved.
"Don’t let him escape!"
The old man roared, his hand gathering force, charging forward instantly.
The five behind him formed a battle array, their moves continuously changing, while the old man at the front, like a shield, emanated a powerful aura, blocking Lin Beichen’s sight and issuing commands.
