Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 803 Negotiation

Yun Lintian swept his gaze over everyone at the scene and paused on Wen Yunshan briefly. The latter's injury was extremely severe. If Yun Lintian didn't have the Tree of Life, he believed it was beyond his capability to treat him.

"Who are you? Let go of captain!" Liao Delun's subordinates returned to their senses and shouted anxiously.

"Shut up, you bastards! Do you want me to die that bad!?" Liao Delun scolded angrily. His expression changed as he put a flattery smile on it. "Hehe, Little Brother. We can talk about this. Don't you think so?"

"Oh? Why did you think so?" A look of interest appeared on Yun Lintian's face.

"Cough!" Liao Delun coughed uncomfortably as he was grabbed on his neck and tried to say. "Hehe. I believe everything has a price. As long as I pay enough, I don't think Little Brother won't let me go."

"So confident?" Yun Lintian had a weird expression. "What are you going to pay for your life, then?"

"You can't, Senior Brother Yun! Ugh!" Hu An shouted anxiously, but he was punched in the face by Liao Delun's subordinate to make him shut his mouth.

Yun Lintian glanced at Hu An and didn't say anything. He was waiting for Liao Delun's offer.

A strange light flashed through Liao Delun's eyes as he said. "I know about your missing people. Precisely, I know who's behind this."

Yun Lintian motioned with his chin. "Go on."

Seeing Yun Lintian was so calm, Liao Delun cursed inwardly. He forced himself to calm down and said further. "You probably guess about it already. That's right. It's Poison Valley. However, there's another force participating in this."

Yun Lintian's expression didn't change in the slightest. "Who is it?"

Liao Delun curled his lips. "Little Brother, this is not good business conduct, isn't it? You have to give me a guarantee first before exchanging the goods." As he spoke, he glanced at his subordinates briefly as if sending signals to them.

Naturally, this action didn't escape Yun Lintian's eyes, but he didn't do anything. He asked with a smile. "What you said is correct." Liao Delun was relieved to hear this, but soon his expression changed drastically after hearing the following sentence. "However, a business negotiation normally starts with equal footings first. Do you really think you have the right to bargain with me in this situation?"

A fierce light flashed through Liao Delun's eyes as he said in a deep voice. "I guess? Look around you. Your friends are in my subordinates' hands. Isn't that enough?"

"Them?" Yun Lintian laughed coldly. "They have nothing to do with me. You can go ahead and kill them."

The expressions of Hu An and the other eight Eternal Sword Sect disciples changed entirely upon hearing this. They didn't expect Yun Lintian to say this. However, when they thought about it again, it was reasonable. After all, Yun Lintian had no relationship with them except for knowing each other names.

Liao Delun was taken aback. He thought Yun Lintian came here to rescue Wen Yunshan and the others. Did he just miscalculate it?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly. "Alright then. Go ahead and kill them."

As soon as his subordinates heard this, they immediately released their profound energy and prepared to kill Hu An and the others.

"Linlin, big brother will leave them to you." Yun Lintian said softly.

"Mhm!" Linlin responded readily and jumped out of Yun Lintian's shoulder into the air.

Rumble—

Under Liao Delun's puzzled gaze, countless lightning sparks flashed around Linlin's small body. In that instant, several thick golden lightning bolts abruptly descended from the night sky and went straight toward Liao Delun's subordinates.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"What!?" Liao Delun's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw his subordinates turn into piles of ashes with no way to resist. Everything happened too fast to the point his mind went blank directly, as he couldn't comprehend the situation before him.

Hu An and the others were no exception. They stared blankly at the piles of ashes before slowly turning toward Linlin. They always thought Linlin was nothing but Yun Lintian's ordinary companion pet… Are you saying this small tiger is stronger than all of them?

Thinking about this, they couldn't help looking at Yun Lintian in awe. It was no wonder Yun Lintian didn't put these people in his eyes from the beginning to the end.

"Your bargain is gone. Do you want to tell me now?" Yun Lintian curled his lips.

Liao Delun came back to his sense and uttered. "You…" He paused for a moment and snorted. "Hmph! Just kill me then."

"Do you know what I am specialized in?" Yun Lintian suddenly asked.

Liao Delun was puzzled. He didn't understand why Yun Lintian asked this.

It was Hu An who answered. "Senior Brother Yun is a top spiritual doctor."

Liao Delun seemed to understand immediately. His expression became horror. "You!… I…"

"Yeah. I have countless ways to make you regret coming to this world. And, of course, I can heal you. Look." As Yun Lintian spoke, he injected a portion of the wood element into Liao Delun's body. The latter could obviously feel his injuries began to recover at a visible rate.

Crackle—

Just as Liao Delun was overjoyed, a cracking sound rang out, followed by a sharp pain in his left shoulder. The pain was unbearable, causing him to scream out loud. "Arghhh!"

Yun Lintian retracted his arm that had just crushed Liao Delun's left shoulder and said calmly. "See? I can do this all day, all night, you know?"

A chill ran down Liao Delun's spine, making him shudder in fear. He had tortured countless people throughout his life, yet he didn't expect there was someone that was even crueler than him in this aspect.

"Not convinced?" Yun Lintian asked.

"No… No! I'll tell you everything. Please give me a quick end!" Liao Delun hurriedly shouted.

Yun Lintian smiled brightly. "Good. I can promise you that. Now, tell me."

Looking at Yun Lintian's smile, which was akin to a devil's smile, Liao Delun couldn't help cursing himself. If he finished Wen Yunshan quickly and ran away, he wouldn't have to face this demon lord.
