MTLNOVEL Chapter 282: Have you decided how you want to die? _2
It was this step that led to a completely different outcome for him and Wei Xingshan.
Master Kulao's fists were like cannon hammers, smashing towards the wooden man.
Bang, bang, two dull thuds.
His fists crashed into the wooden man, like tofu hitting a train speeding at 180 km/h, shattering his fists instantly.
Before he could even scream, he felt a shadow envelop him as the wooden man grabbed his head.
With a crack, Master Kulao was crushed into a bloody pulp.
Two swift moves, killing two masters.
Nobody reacted in time.
Everyone stood there, stunned, drenched in sweat.
Zhao Wuxing, who had been coldly observing and even gloating, was now standing dumbfounded.
Zhao Huanglong's smile transformed instantly, almost fainting on the spot.
Qi Tiankuang, who had always maintained a smile, now felt as if he had been slapped hard, humiliated.
Madam Qi was the fastest to react.
She sighed softly in her heart.
Qi Tiankuang had always been invincible, always on the winning path, but today... he might be in for a rough fall!
The wooden man had killed two, and it was just the beginning.
Master Kulao was dead, the Black Robe assassin was dead, but Wei Xingshan was still alive.
He moved like a gale, his whole figure turning into a massive shadow.
Wei Xingshan's nerves were taut, and hearing the exclamations around him, he immediately turned and punched.
His strike was precise.
Even though it was just a blind attack, it still hit the wooden man's chest at a soft spot.
He hit.
Wei Xingshan was elated.
But the next moment, he realized his fist was sinking into mire.
His punch not only didn't injure the wooden man but dragged him into the wooden man's rhythm.
Wasn't the wooden man supposed to rely solely on brute force?
How could it redirect force too?
This was the essence of the Tai Chi Sect!
The force behind his punch was nearly a thousand pounds; it would be impossible for even a Tai Chi Grandmaster to dissolve such force!
Wei Xingshan's mind raced, and he immediately fled again.
"Qi Tiankuang, how long are you going to watch? Do you want to wait until I'm dead to mourn me?"
Qi Tiankuang snapped out of it.
He flipped his sleeve and took out an Eight Trigrams Compass from his wide robe.
He manipulated the compass back and forth, and a laser probe emerged from it.
The laser probe locked onto the wooden man, emitting a special wave.
"Is that... an Ignisite?"
Madam Qi's face changed slightly.
This was a treasure from the thousand-year Scripture Pavilion.
Over the years, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion had traded many treasures for their elixirs.
Adventurers from all over explored various relics, trading their finds for elixirs.
The Ignisite was one of the treasures traded.
It was found in a volcanic crater of a dormant volcano.
Geologists said the Life and Death Mountain was two million years old.
If not for an earthquake cracking the dormant volcano, revealing it to lucky adventurers, this stone would have remained hidden for millions of years.
The stone's material was unique and hard to analyze, but it emitted a special essence when heated by laser.
This wave would affect anyone, no matter how strong-willed.
"Ah!"
Qi Tiankuang's attack might have some effect on others.
But he chose to use it on the wooden man.
The wooden man was just Lin Beichen's puppet, driven by an obsession to protect Lin Beichen!
When the probe targeted the wooden man, a look of doubt seemed to flash in its eyes.
The wooden man seemed to see Lin Beichen being killed...
"Ah!"
The wooden man roared, pounding its chest with its fists, breaking its ribs, with blood flowing out. Its form grew nearly a meter, becoming a three-meter-tall monster.
Blood covered its body, killing intent filled its eyes, and it roared to the heavens.
The Power of the Five Elements surged uncontrollably!
Everyone felt an icy chill, the weight of a thousand pounds pressing them down, making them collapse and wail.
Qi Tiankuang was the most affected.
The Ignisite in his hand shattered, fragments flying everywhere.
Qi Tiankuang was hit, severely injured, bleeding from all orifices, nearly dying on the spot.
Qi Tiankuang thought the Ignisite would affect the wooden man, not knowing it only increased its killing intent.
"Elder!"
Madam Qi cried out, dodging the fragments and taking out an elixir to feed him.
The once renowned master was now in a pitiful state.
Qi Tiankuang swallowed the elixir and barely survived, but Wei Xingshan wasn't so fortunate.
He was closest to the wooden man.
The moment the Power of the Five Elements went out of control, he felt his hair stand on end, muscles tense, blood boiling, breaking through a long-term bottleneck by half a step.
This half-step saved him from disaster.
The wooden man moved like the wind, its three-meter body pressing down.
It aimed for Wei Xingshan's head, but he escaped with only his arm being caught.
"Ah!"
Before Wei Xingshan could celebrate breaking through, he felt his arm being torn apart.
In the instant of agony, his arm was torn off.
"Qi Tiankuang, you bastard!"
Wei Xingshan roared, abandoning all pride, and ran.
He dove into the crowd, using them as cover to escape.
It was a miracle to escape with his life today; he couldn't hope for more.
The change happened too quickly.
Everyone was crushed by the wooden man's aura, unable to lift their heads, let alone see it transform.
Only Zhao Wuxing, Zhao Huanglong, Madam Qi, and Qi Tiankuang witnessed it.
As for the others.
The dead were dead, the injured were defeated by the wooden man.
The Power of the Five Elements came and went quickly.
The wooden man was just a toy Lin Beichen made to test things.
It couldn't contain much of the Power of the Five Elements; even when it went out of control, it only lasted a moment before reverting.
The wooden man couldn't endure much, and the shattered Ignisite lens let it see Lin Beichen again.
The master's alive.
The wooden man smiled cluelessly, its form reverting, and everyone sighed in relief.
"Zhao Wuxing, you want to subdue me?"
Lin Beichen continued sitting behind the table, indifferently.
Zhao Wuxing's face went pale.
The man everyone considered perfect now looked ashen.
Despite his anger, he dared not utter a word.
Others didn't see the wooden man's transformation, but he did.
The wooden man was originally two meters tall, terrifying enough, but in rage, it grew another meter!
The difference of one meter made it a monster.
The wooden man, bloodied and demon-like, stared down Zhao Wuxing.
If Lin Beichen ordered it, it would instantly twist Zhao Wuxing's head off.
Zhao Wuxing was good-looking, but there was no shortage of attractive people in the world.
A pretty face was meaningless.
Just because people praised him as a prodigy, did he really think he was the chosen one?
Zhao Huanglong, experienced, quickly recovered and said urgently:
"Young Master Lin, my son was offensive. Please, on behalf of my daughter, give him a chance, would you?"
"A chance?"
Lin Beichen smiled, playing with the teacup in his hand.
Everyone's hearts tightened once again.
