Chapter 451 Xu Tian Loses His Mind

When Chen Yu heard this, he was shocked and his face turned pale as paper: "What? Then what should we do?" His voice trembled a little and his steps became a little staggering.

Chen Xiner was silent for a moment, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Let's go to the Ming family. Now we can only go to the Ming family, because after Xu Tian's seal is lifted, no one in Lingyuan City can seal it again." There was a hint of firmness in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

Chen Yu didn't ask any more questions. He just hugged Chen Xin'er tightly, adjusted his direction, and ran towards the antique trading shop he had visited during the day. Their figures became smaller and smaller in the dark street, and finally disappeared into the shadows.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Tingya Building was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Gao Jinghao walked slowly towards the fallen Xu Tian with heavy steps. His eyes were cold and ruthless, as if he was looking at a dead person. Ding Mojin and the other four followed behind him with smug and cruel smiles on their faces. They all thought that Xu Tian would not be able to escape this time and would definitely die here. Even the injured Ding Moli, with the help of others, walked up from downstairs with difficulty. His face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of the pleasure of revenge.

However, none of them noticed the purple lines on Xu Tian's body slowly spreading, like a sinister spiderweb, threatening to envelop him. Xu Tian lay on the ground, his eyes closed, his breath weak, but within him a fierce struggle raged. He strained to suppress the power within him that threatened to spiral out of control, knowing full well that if it erupted, it would bring about an irreversible catastrophe. He hated the slaughter, and even more so, he didn't want innocent people to be harmed. But the anger and hatred within him burned like a raging fire, constantly searing at his sanity.

Gao Jinghao walked straight up to Xu Tian and looked down at him. His face was devoid of pity, only the arrogance of a victor. He slowly raised his foot and stomped hard on Xu Tian's chest, sneering, "Do you have any last words?" His voice was like a verdict from hell, cold and cruel.

Ding Mojin also walked forward with a ferocious smile on his face: "Boy, this is the consequence of daring to take action against our Ding family. You must live more wisely in your next life." His eyes were full of ridicule and disdain, as if he was mocking Xu Tian's arrogance.

Xu Tian lay on the ground, feeling the excruciating pain in his chest as his consciousness began to fade. The image of General Li Hua emerged in his mind, the faith and role model he had followed his entire life. He thought silently, "Am I going to die? I really want to see the general again. Alas! If that's the case, I can only take these people who slandered you and go first." His eyes revealed a hint of determination and helplessness, as if he had already prepared himself for death.

However, at this seemingly hopeless moment, Xu Tian's body suddenly began to tremble violently, like the earth before an earthquake. Then, from the depths of his throat, a deafening roar erupted. Like the tolling of a mighty bell, it shook the entire Tingya Building, sending dust rustling from the beams as if the ancient structure were trembling and wailing at the approaching terrifying storm.

The purple lines that had been about to spread across his entire body, as if driven by a mysterious and powerful dark force, suddenly and madly crawled all over Xu Tian's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those purple lines shimmered with an eerie and captivating light, like the cursed mark of the Nine Nether Hell, or like sealing runes imbued with boundless destructive power. Now, being broken free by the extremely violent power within Xu Tian's body, they emitted a sizzling sound, as if expressing their anger and resentment towards the world.

At the same time, Xu Tian's aura was rising at an unimaginable rate. A faint vortex began to swirl around his body. At first, it was weak, but as the aura continued to rise, it gradually grew stronger. Dust particles in the air were drawn into it, forming tiny vortices that rapidly swirled around Xu Tian, ​​like a group of loyal guards protecting their king. In less than a breath, his strength unexpectedly broke through to the realm of an eighth-grade Grandmaster. This suffocating aura, like an invisible mountain, weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone in Tingya Tower, filling them with despair and fear, as if the end of the world was approaching.

Everyone in the building's pupils instantly dilated, their expressions frozen in that moment, their expressions shifting from surprise to terror in a split second. They stared as if they had seen the most terrifying monster in the world, their mouths gaping, yet no sound emanated. Their bodies seemed to be under a spell, unable to move an inch.

Gao Jinghao, the mayor of Lingyuan City, was usually awe-inspiring and insolent, but now, horrified by the scene before him, his face pale as a sheet, a flicker of panic in his eyes. He silently groaned, knowing that he had hit a wall, a wall strong enough to crush him to pieces. His voice shrilled with fear, and he shouted, "Retreat!" The sound echoed through the silent Tingya Tower, trembling with despair, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and majesty, like the howl of a wounded beast fleeing in fear.

However, it was too late. Gao Jinghao, fully aware of Xu Tian's current danger, steeled himself and decided to risk everything, attempting to kill him before he could fully unleash his might, thus eliminating any further danger. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped down hard on Xu Tian's chest with all his might. This kick carried with it anger and fear, as well as the last vestiges of his struggle and unwillingness as the ruler of a city. A ferocious look crossed his face, his teeth chattering, and a hint of madness lingered in his eyes, as if, at this moment, he had disregarded his own life and death, desiring nothing more than to perish alongside Xu Tian.

But Xu Tian reacted amazingly at this critical moment. One of his hands was raised as fast as lightning, firmly blocking Gao Jinghao's kick. His arm muscles were tense, and his veins were bulging, like angry little snakes slithering under his skin. The purple lines on his arms flashed with a strange and powerful light, as if containing endless power, holding Gao Jinghao's foot tightly, preventing him from moving forward. Gao Jinghao felt as if his foot was stepping on a piece of extremely hard, ten-thousand-year-old black iron, motionless. He was shocked and wanted to retract his foot, but found that it had been tightly grasped by Xu Tian. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from the big hand like a pincer.
