NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2189: Three Powerhouses
"They can be considered the top among those below the Heavenly Realm. The elders of these three are all Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmasters."
"Though they're not Heavenly Realm martial artists, they're some of the most outstanding figures of the past hundred years. They usually keep a low profile, rarely showing off or engaging in battles with others."
"So, Brother Dong, it's very possible you've never heard of their names," Xiao Huang said with a smile at this moment.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Dong showed great curiosity and asked, "Please enlighten me, Brother Xiao. Who are their elders?"
Xiao Huang currently had little guard against Lin Dong, and he didn't hide any of the things he knew.
He directly told Lin Dong.
"That youth carrying a broad sword, Huang Jinwen, his elder is his grandpa. He is a martial artist who cultivates sword skills. His grandpa was a Tianjiao from over ninety years ago, although he didn't reach the Heavenly Realm. But he's been at the level of a Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmaster for many years."
"Most importantly, his sword skill has reached an extremely terrifying level. A Ghost-Slaying Saber, during his era, was said to cut down all opponents, undefeated in the same rank."
"He is also called the 'Saber Emperor'!"
To be called a king or an emperor in the Martial Arts World, regardless of the path, is an extremely high honor.
And this Saber Emperor was undoubtedly one of the top figures in the world of 'sword skills.'
Lin Dong remembered this person.
He then asked, "And the elders of the other two?"
Xiao Huang continued, "The other two, the sinister-looking man who resembles a woman, his name is Jin Yu. Not only does he look like a woman, but even his name is somewhat feminine."
"His elder is his great-grandfather. A Martial Arts Grandmaster who's lived for one hundred forty years. His strength is also at the peak of Ninth Stage Grandmaster."
"People call him the Toad Poison King! A grandmaster who uses poison. His cultivation methods and Martial Way are all related to poison."
"It's said he cultivated a technique called 'Toad Technique' and constantly consumed poisons to enhance his strength."
"Even his Dharma Body is a giant toad God, and his Dharma Body's attacks are imbued with extreme poison."
"A single drop of his blood can poison all the fish and shrimp in a river. His breath can make all the plants in a park wither in an instant. Very terrifying..."
Lin Dong noted down this person too.
At this moment, Xiao Huang continued to introduce to him:
"As for the man with two pupils, his name is Zhang Yichen."
"His elder is known as the Crimson Pupil King. Their family's bloodline is quite unique, with many clansmen having mutated eyes."
"For example, Zhang Yichen, he has two pupils. And his elder, the Crimson Pupil King, was born with blood-red eyes."
"Their eyes can coordinate with the cultivation of illusion techniques. The illusion techniques of that Double Pupils King are incredibly terrifying; he once trapped three Peak Ninth Stage Martial Arts Grandmasters in an illusionary realm, making them fight and kill each other!"
"Even Heavenly Realm martial artists, with insufficient mental power, fear his illusion techniques."
"He seems to have lived for nearly two hundred years..."
Hearing this, Lin Dong was silent for a moment and said, "It seems the Old Patriarch of the Lin family has extensive connections."
"To have actually invited so many Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster top experts to assist."
Xiao Huang nodded, "These people are the strongest below Heavenly Realm martial artists. Almost all of them are at the peak of Earth Realm martial artists."
"These people usually won't take action easily. No one is worth their action. This time, they all ambushed together to deal with Master Lin. Clearly, the Old Patriarch of the Lin family promised them significant benefits."
"Only benefits can move them."
Lin Dong chuckled and asked, "Brother Xiao, do you think they can stop Master Lin?"
"That, I wouldn't know, because no one knows the current strength of Master Lin."
"Of course, if Master Lin still possesses the strength from the battle with King Kunlun several months ago, I can guarantee that Master Lin is no match for those people."
"However, if Master Lin has broken through to Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster, then I think, in a one-on-one, no one would be Master Lin's opponent."
"As for all of them attacking together, Master Lin's chances of losing would be greater."
"So, Brother Xiao thinks that this time, Master Lin will certainly die?" Lin Dong asked jokingly.
"Of course." Xiao Huang nodded heavily, "This time, it's simply a death trap set for Master Lin."
"As long as Master Lin comes, then he is destined to die, with no chance of survival."
"Does Brother Dong not think so?"
Xiao Huang asked Lin Dong.
Lin Dong smiled faintly, shrugged, and responded, "Perhaps."
As the two of them were chatting, the three juniors of Saber Emperor, Toad Poison King, and Crimson Pupil King—Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, and Zhang Yichen—were also chatting.
Jin Yu, who had woman-like looks, glanced toward Lin Dong and Xiao Huang, then asked Huang Jinwen:
"Who is that young man beside Young Master Xiao? He seems to have a good relationship with Young Master Xiao."
Zhang Yichen was also a bit curious.
Huang Jinwen laughed, "An unknown figure, called Dong Lin!"
"Dong Lin? This name sounds somewhat familiar..." Zhang Yichen murmured.
"Young Master Xiao seems to want to introduce him to me, but I can't be bothered with such an unknown person. Anyone who can be my friend, Huang Jinwen, can only be a proud martial arts prodigy like me. Those rich young men from the mundane world, I don't take them seriously."
In his eyes, even if those rich young men from the mundane world have a lot of money, even if they have billions, they still can't be friends with him.
Zhang Yichen and Jin Yu also nodded in agreement. They, as descendants of pure martial artists, only have eyes for martial artists.
They did not take those wealthy and influential-second-generation individuals seriously.
They all assumed Lin Dong was one of those wealthy second-generation individuals because they had never heard of Lin Dong in the martial arts world.
Just then, a young woman entered from outside.
The young woman, only in her twenties, wore a chiffon dress and had an extremely aloof temperament.
And she was actually accompanied by Lin Tiance personally.
It was clear that this person must have an extraordinary identity.
Seeing her, Huang Jinwen, Jin Yu, and Zhang Yichen all showed expressions of admiration and awe.
"That's Tang Qing from the Tang family, Young Master Tang Que's younger sister. Although a woman, she is already at the First Stage Grandmaster level in her twenties. If the Tang family weren't so low-key, their siblings would definitely occupy two spots on the Tianjiao Rankings," Huang Jinwen hurriedly said.
However, a woman like this, he dared only admire from afar, not daring to get too close.
Zhang Yichen and Jin Yu felt the same way, with Jin Yu saying, "Previously, my great-grandfather took me to visit the Tang family. I once saw Miss Tang Qing from a distance."
"Even my great-grandfather was extremely respectful and courteous when meeting her. Even at the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster, he could only serve her."
"It seems that Young Master Tiance is bringing her over to meet us. Is he planning to introduce her to us?" Zhang Yichen exclaimed in surprise.
With that said, Huang Jinwen and Jin Yu were also extremely excited.
