Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 271 - 270: Reverse Psychology?

Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Reverse Psychology?

Blood debts must be paid in blood, and the Red Knight must pay with his life.

Not just the Red Knight, even the East Atlantic Company was included in Lin Hao’s calculations.

And the time set was twenty days!

What was this about?

Within the ruins, no one could see the ingenuity behind it.

Everyone was baffled; Lin Hao was clearly no match, he had been easily beaten by the Red Knight to the point of vomiting blood, yet why did he still dare to be so rampant?

"Charge! Kill that Huaxia man, bolster the Western Church’s prestige!"

"The Red Knight is so powerful, don’t let that Huaxia man bluff anymore, just go up and finish him off!"

In the ruins, seeing the Red Knight stand still, some of the Western foreigners couldn’t contain themselves anymore and shouted from within the crowd.

However, hearing the shouts of those foreigners around, the centuries-old Red Knight also felt an urge to curse.

Damn it,

Are they all blind?

If I could kill this Huaxia kid, wouldn’t I have done it already?

Don’t they see it’s impossible to kill him!

Over the years, many Huaxia Cultivators had died at the hands of the Red Knight, but he had never encountered a Cultivator as powerful as Lin Hao.

An unknown youth, not only with a strong cultivation but he had also figured out the Red Knight’s details.

Twenty steps!

Indeed, twenty steps, that’s the control range of the Divine Authority Staff.

Within this range, Lin Hao was absolutely no match for him, the Red Knight.

However, now, Lin Hao kept his distance, never coming within twenty steps of him.

This left the Red Knight feeling frustratingly helpless.

That Huaxia youth, today, he destroyed the Freedom Cathedral and half of Freedom City, and even annihilated Freedom City’s defense force.

Such crimes, even flaying him a thousand times would not quench the rage in the Red Knight’s heart.

If there was anyone here who most wanted Lin Hao dead, it was certainly the Red Knight.

Yet, twenty steps, the Red Knight simply couldn’t get close!

His aged body, must hold the Divine Authority Staff.

And holding the Divine Authority Staff, he couldn’t possibly have the same speed as Lin Hao, and could only move like an ordinary old man.

This was also why the Red Knight had not shown himself while Lin Hao killed the Grey Robed Knight Kerkin and even destroyed the Freedom Cathedral.

Possessing great strength, but unable to catch up, all he could do was watch Lin Hao swagger in front of him.

This kind of feeling, hating someone to death but unable to do anything about it, nearly made the Red Knight’s chest explode with rage.

"Good! Very good!"

Finally, the Red Knight took a deep breath, his body filled with a murderous intent as he looked towards Lin Hao: "Since you are so capable, dare you come over and fight me? I want to see if you have the ability to throw me off the Flaying Cliff!"

"Provoking me? This is a trick our Huaxia ancestors played smoothly thousands of years ago, are you using this in front of me to insult my intelligence? Or is your intelligence only 250?"

Lin Hao burst into laughter, his face filled with disdain as he looked at the Red Knight: "I admit, you are strong. But what can you do to me? Today I will spare your life, letting you live another twenty days. I am off to burn down everything the East Atlantic Company has on Transshipment Island, if you want to watch, then follow me."

With a laugh, Lin Hao turned and left.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

The Red Knight, with his old face flushed red, suddenly erupted in rage and aimed his Magic Wand at Lin Hao’s back to strike!

Dazzling Divine Light burst forth, accompanied by a sharp Sky-breaking sound aimed at Lin Hao. Amid the ruins, almost everyone stopped breathing, watching the scene unfold with rapt attention.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the Holy Light shot out like a meteor, unstoppable, as if it could destroy everything.

Yet after twenty paces, it suddenly weakened, its formidable power seemingly halved in an instant.

Lin Hao merely dodged lightly, avoiding the impact of the Divine Light, and swiftly landed to one side.

The Divine Light, however, merely shattered a damaged concrete wall before dissipating into nothingness.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such a fine Divine Artifact wasted in your hands, truly a pity. Just keep it safe for me; I’ll come to claim it in twenty days."

Dodging this strike, Lin Hao became even more confident, turning back to scoff coldly at the Red Knight.

"You!"

Never before had the Red Knight faced such provocation, rendered speechless in his fury.

The Divine Authority Staff was his Divine Artifact, a sacred treasure of the Western Church. With this Staff, he could even delay aging, extend his life, and possibly achieve immortality.

That such a treasure would be so brazenly claimed by a Huaxia youth, who even set the date for its theft.

This was a blatant insult, utterly disregarding the Western Church!

Enraged, the Red Knight exploded with anger, pointing at Lin Hao and bellowing loudly, lacking the composure he maintained even when the cathedral crumbled before him.

Holding the Divine Authority Staff, he nearly leapt on the spot, pointing far at Lin Hao’s retreating figure and shouted, "If you dare, come and fight me to the death; if you win, the Staff is yours!"

A fight to the death?

Still using such an outdated provocation technique, would Lin Hao fall for it?

"Haha, you want to die? There’s no rush, no rush. In twenty days, I will come to collect it myself, make sure you keep it safe!"

Lin Hao laughed heartily, turned around gracefully, and walked straight out of the city.

The Red Knight was so infuriated he almost spewed blood, feeling as if he was punching cotton, finding nowhere to exert his force.

But what could his anger do?

His attack range of twenty paces had been tested by Lin Hao, even his mobility handicap had been spotted, watching Lin Hao walk away without being able to catch up!

"Coward! Dare to fight me in a battle! By running away like this, do you think you are worthy of the title of Cultivator? Aren’t you afraid that this will affect your mental state, stalling your progress in Cultivation forever?"

The Red Knight, failing in one strategy, quickly devised another.

His malice ran deep, unable to immediately defeat Lin Hao, he aimed to plant a heart demon in Lin Hao’s mind.

For those in Cultivation, to oppose the heavens, one must not harbor any fear.

If Lin Hao was indeed afraid to fight him today, he would certainly be left with a heart demon, severely hindering his future cultivation breakthroughs, possibly trapping him forever.

He wanted Lin Hao to come back and fight him.

As long as Lin Hao turned back to face him, the Red Knight could use the Divine Authority Staff to completely defeat Lin Hao.

From their previous encounters, the Red Knight had gauged Lin Hao’s strength and knew his capabilities.

Yet,

Lin Hao did not even turn back, his figure flashed, and he was already a hundred steps away.

The Red Knight was furious, yet he was rendered helpless, "Coward! You’re not even a man, you don’t even have the courage to fight this old man, you bring shame to Huaxia!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Hao continued striding forward without turning back, "We, Huaxia, have a great ancestor who summed up a great theory. Fight when you can win, leave when you cannot. Retreat when the enemy advances, harass when the enemy stays, attack when the enemy is weary, pursue when the enemy retreats."

While speaking, Lin Hao suddenly turned back, looked the Red Knight up and down once, then added, "Especially for dealing with vermin like you who are crippled in hands and feet."

"Pfft!"

Calling the Red Knight ’crippled in hands and feet’, and the Red Knight found no reason to refute, was so angered that he spewed a mouthful of blood right there.
