Chapter 2558: Grudge (3)
Yun Lintian's gaze was icy as he stared at Tantai Xue, the memory of his imprisonment in the Prison of Order flashing in his mind. Back then, she had left him to suffer, trapped in a cage of her own making. It had taken him countless days and nights to crack her formation, to break free from the chains of her Law of Order. Now, it was time for her to experience the same torment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You once imprisoned me in the Prison of Order," Yun Lintian said, his voice cold and steady. "You left me to suffer, to rot in that cage. Do you remember?"
Tantai Xue's eyes narrowed, but she didn't respond. She could feel the weight of Yun Lintian's words, the intensity of his grudge. She knew he wasn't the same weakling she had once imprisoned. This Yun Lintian was different-stronger, more determined, and far more dangerous.
"Now," Yun Lintian continued, his voice rising, "it's time for you to taste your own medicine."
With a swift motion, Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword, its blade glowing with a blinding light. He channeled the Rending Heaven technique, a technique that could tear through the very fabric of reality.
The air around him crackled with energy as he swung the sword, unleashing a wave of divine power that surged toward Tantai Xue.
BOOM!
The energy struck Tantai Xue's barrier with devastating force, and this time, it didn't just crack-it shattered. The barrier crumbled under the sheer power of the Rending Heaven Technique, and Tantai Xue was forced to retreat, her expression one of shock and disbelief. "You...?" she muttered, her voice strained.
Yun Lintian didn't answer. He pressed forward, his movements swift and relentless. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the Heavenhold Formation, a legacy of the ancient Heavenhold Sect. The formation glowed with a golden light, its intricate patterns weaving together to create a cage of pure, concentrated order.
Tantai Xue's eyes widened as she recognized the formation. She knew what it was-a prison of order, one that could trap even the most powerful cultivators. She tried to retreat, but Yun Lintian was too fast. He raised his hand, and the formation surged forward, enveloping her in its golden light.
"Get lost!" Tantai Xue shouted furiously.
She raised her hands, summoning the Law of Order to counter the formation. But Yun Lintian was prepared. He channeled his own Law of Order, combining it with the power of the Heavenhold Formation to suppress her completely.
BOOM!!
The two forces clashed, creating a storm of energy that tore through the battlefield.
Tantai Xue's eyes widened in shock as she saw her own power being swallowed entirely by Yun Lintian's Heavenhold Formation.
The Heavenhold Formation surged forward and formed a perfect prison around her.
Tantai Xue found herself trapped within the Heavenhold Formation, the Law of Order pressing in on her from all sides. She tried to break free, to use her own mastery over Order to counter the formation, but it was no use.
"This... this is impossible," Tantai Xue gasped, her voice filled with disbelief. "You can't possibly have mastered the Law of Order to this extent!"
Yun Lintian, his eyes blazing with a cold fire, approached her slowly. The Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand pulsed with the power of Order, a power that was now being used against her.
"How is it? To taste your own medicine," Yun Lintian uttered coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"Ugh!" Tantai Xue struggled against the binding power of the formation, her body trembling with exertion. She could feel her control over the Law of Order slipping away, her power being suppressed by Yun Lintian's own.
It was a terrifying feeling, to be trapped within a cage of her own making, to be at the mercy of someone she had once considered insignificant.
Tantai Xue quickly calmed down upon seeing that she had no hope of breaking out in a short time. She looked at him and said coldly, "Do you think you have won this battle?"
Yun Lintian smiled faintly upon hearing this. "You don't have to use such a cheap trick in front of me. I may be young compared to you, who has lived for who knows how many eons, but I'm not that easy to be manipulated."
"He... Haha!" Tantai Xue suddenly laughed out loud, her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at him. "Not easy to be manipulated? It's ironic when your whole existence comes from manipulation between both sides. Haha!"
Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity. "It seems you know a lot. Why don't you tell me about it? Where are my parents?"
"Your parents?" Tantai Xue sneered. "Heh. Of course, they are dead. Their deaths were pretty tragic. I wish you could have seen - AHHHH!!"
As she was speaking, Tantai Xue suddenly felt a sharp pain all over her body, causing her to scream out painfully.
Yun Lintian smiled coldly as he exerted his power. "I told you, your cheap trick is no use here. You better be honest."
Tantai Xue panted heavily as she looked at Yun Lintian with deep hatred.
"Don't think that I will - AHHHH!!" Tantai Xue screamed out loud as her entire arms were ground into a meat paste by the immense pressure from the formation. Blood spurted into the air, painting the space around her red.
"You should be happy that you still have some value," Yun Lintian said coldly. "Can you be honest now?"
"You... I will make you pay the price!" Tantai Xue gnashed her teeth in pain. Throughout her life, she had never been humiliated like this before.
Qi Zongwen and the others looked at the scene in amazement. They didn't expect Yun Lintian to be this powerful.
Yun Lintian snapped his fingers, and Tantai Xue's legs immediately broke into exaggerated
shapes.
"AGH!" Tantai Xue grunted in pain.
"Tell me," Yun Lintian uttered coldly.
Tantai Xue could see that he had completely lost his patience now. Without a doubt, Yun Lintian would definitely kill her in the next second.
She took a deep breath to ease the pain and said, "Technically, your father is still alive. As for your mother, she has been missing from our radar for a long time now. No one knows where
she is."
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly. "What do you mean by technically? What happened to my
father?"
Tantai Xue stared at him and said, "Your father, he is..."
Rip-
Suddenly, a streak of golden light flashed across the space towards Yun Lintian, tearing
everything apart...
