Chapter 1026: Blood
Hearing Lin Tian's words, everyone looked at him holding the broken sword high above his head.
Li Li and others were full of expectations, and even the elders of the Qin and Li families, who didn't believe it, couldn't help but look a little nervous.
Lin Tian could actually predict that there was an ancient sword hidden under this place. Although it looked tattered, it was a precious sword.
Lin Tian pulled hard, and the broken sword...
No movement.
In front of everyone, Lin Tian didn't pull out the sword.
"Ahem, it seems that there is too much rust and it's stuck." Lin Tian said with a little embarrassment.
Li Li and others were helpless immediately. They were quite expecting it, and they held their breath and watched, but they didn't pull it out...
Seeing Lin Tian knocking on the ground and getting rid of the dirt and rust on the broken sword, the elders of the Li family couldn't help but laugh.
"Lin Tian, do you think you can pass off a broken sword as an antique?"
"Yes, this sword looks quite old, and the workmanship is indeed excellent. It hasn't rotted after so many years, which is a rare thing."
"But if you want to compare it with our treasure, it's simply a world of difference, there's no comparison!" The elders of the Li family ridiculed.
"You'll know who is the mule and who is the horse later."
"Watch out, this time I'm really going to pull it out!"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he reported the sword again, held it with both hands, and pulled it out directly.
Everyone still looked over, but this time they were all confused, and the Li and Qin families were ready to see a joke.
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian pulled out the broken sword completely.
Seeing that the real body of the broken sword wrapped in the hilt was even more tattered than it looked from the outside, everyone immediately covered their eyes and laughed.
"What the hell?!"
Even Lin Tian couldn't help but swear. Obviously, even he didn't expect the sword to look like this.
He couldn't believe it.
He put the sword back and pulled it out again. It was still in such a bad state. Scrape it, bounce it, and hit it. It was still in tatters.
"Hahahaha! Boy! You are still playing tricks. Are you dumbfounded? This is a thing that is not even as good as broken copper and rotten iron. You actually treat it as a treasure. It's really ridiculous!" The elders of the Li family were complacent and overjoyed because they had obviously won.
"Alas, Brother Lin... What a pity. But people will inevitably make mistakes. Even a master like you will make mistakes sometimes. Please don't be too sad." Qin Feng comforted him hypocritically, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart.
They felt very happy to see Lin Tian being humiliated and slapped in public.
"Brother Lin... don't blame yourself too much. We know you made this bet for our own good. It's okay. If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal." Li Li patted Lin Tian on the shoulder. Although he said so, he couldn't hide the disappointment and loneliness on his face.
"Brother, it's no big deal. You are so powerful. At most, you can just default on your debt and beat them until they admit that they have given up. Although it sounds embarrassing, we won't cry. Don't be sad!" Lin Fang quietly gave bad advice.
"Yes, Master, what I said is right. At most, we can just act rogue. Anyway, they are not good people. There is no need to talk to them about benevolence and righteousness. We will keep our mouths shut for you!" Lu Xuan echoed.
Listening to the words around him, Lin Tian was more and more upset. Can't you learn something good? Everyone wants to lead me astray.
Ignoring the laughter and bad ideas around him, Lin Tian said to the Taotie system in his mind with dissatisfaction:
"I say, Lao Tao, we are not being kind. It was you who kept shouting that there was a treasure here and asked me to come over and dig it out."
"It was because of you that I asked them to take out some heirloom and made such a bet."
"I trust you unconditionally. How could you cheat me like this? I thought it was a big treasure, but it turned out to be a broken sword. This person is really embarrassed."
"And the bet, what do you say? I can't really do that, but I'm willing to accept the loss, and I can't slap myself in the face at this time!"
Lin Tian's tone was full of grievances. Since he came here, the Taotie system said that it sensed something and asked Lin Tian to take it around.
After that, it told Lin Tian that it sensed the location of the pigpen and that there were good things buried underground, and asked Lin Tian to dig them out, saying that it would be good for both Lin Tian and it.
It was because of the system that Lin Tian had the previous words. Anyway, he had to dig it out, so he might as well find some other benefits.
But now, I thought that although this broken sword looked unrecognizable, there must be something extraordinary inside, and it must be dazzling when it was pulled out.
But now, why does Lin Tian feel that he has been cheated?
"Hey, hey, don't be anxious, they are all ignorant people, and you are the same. You don't understand. You can't recognize the good things in front of you." The Taotie system actually looked down on Lin Tian.
"Okay, okay, you understand, you are awesome, okay."
"But no matter how good the things are, people have to be able to use them and feel them, right? How can I explain this to you? I can't let you ruin my reputation!" Lin Tian's voice was full of grievances.
"It's okay, just do what I say, I promise to make them drop their jaws in shock later, and swallow all the words they laughed at you before!" The Taotie system said confidently.
"Hurry, hurry, I can't help but show off, tell me what to do!" Lin Tian said impatiently.
"Boy, you have to accept the loss. I think you have nothing to say now. It is clear who wins and who loses. Don't try to cheat. You must fulfill your promise!" The elder of the Li family laughed so proudly, walked to Lin Tian and said arrogantly.
"Damn! What are you showing off? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Lu Xuan stood up and said unhappily.
"Why, boy, you want to deliberately make trouble, right!" The elder of the Li family sneered disdainfully.
"I'm picking on your sister. I've been unhappy with you for a long time. A few old guys, relying on their age, talking more unpleasantly than one another. What do you think? If you have the guts, come on!" Lu Xuan yelled.
Qin Feng rushed up to be a peacemaker, but Lu Xuan was unyielding and wanted to fight. The elders of the Li family all folded their arms and sneered, ignoring him.
They didn't say anything, Lu Xuan just wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble. As long as the Li family took action at this time, although Lin Tian lost, he could use this as an excuse to teach them a lesson, directly cripple them, and drag the matter over.
Although it was a bit despicable, it was also a helpless move. After all, once it was really fulfilled according to Lin Tian's previous promise, it would really be letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it would give the enemy too much buffer and development time, which would be irrational for both others and themselves.
"Enough! Lu Xuan, what did the master teach you? You should win people over with virtue. Why are you so excited? We will beat them all down sooner or later. There is no rush." Lin Tian withdrew from consciousness and said to Lu Xuan who was throwing a tantrum.
"Hmph! You still have some bottom line as a human being, and you know to keep your promise."
"Since you have already lost, then from now on, you have to follow your words and immediately lead your people to withdraw from Linhang City. You are not allowed to set foot here or interfere here in the future, and you have to prepare a large sum of money to compensate for all our losses!"
After the Li family elder finished speaking, he stared at Lin Tian coldly. The people of the Li family were also on full alert and entered a combat state, ready to deal with Lin Tian's possible denial.
"And our Qin family's property must be returned to us according to the agreement." Qin Feng interrupted on the side, and his tone of voice did not have the fake humility before.
Although he had not been in contact with Lin Tian for a long time, Qin Feng knew that Lin Tian's promise made in front of his subordinates, apprentices and relatives would definitely not be able to wipe away that face even if he did not want to fulfill it.
Lin Tian is definitely not so pedantic that he would be willing to suffer this big loss, but he must be a man who hopes to set an example and set an example for those around him.
It seems that this time, their hope and progress of revenge have been greatly improved because of Lin Tian's mistake. It's really exciting!
"Who said I lost? Why are you so anxious? My treasure hasn't been fully displayed yet." Lin Tian curled his lips and said.
"Lin Tian! Are you really going to break the contract in front of your subordinates, apprentices, and your sister?" Qin Feng suddenly became anxious.
"Hmph, don't use them to provoke me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"I said this matter is not over yet, so it is not over yet. You just need to watch it carefully."
Lin Tian took the broken sword in his hand, looked at the Qin and Li families with disdain, and said coldly:
"A bunch of idiots, without knowledge, don't know what the real treasure is, the good things are at home, but you don't know."
"Even if I take it out and put it in front of you, you can't recognize it. It's really pitiful and ridiculous."
This is what the Taotie system said to them just now. Lin Tian copied it directly. Hearing it, the Taotie system couldn't help muttering: It's a pity that I'm not a physical entity, otherwise I should really roll my eyes and despise you.
Lin Tian's words naturally aroused their dissatisfaction, but Lin Tian ignored their sarcasm and focused his mind on the broken sword in his hand.
Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Lin Tian followed the Taotie system's teachings, first emptying his mind, abandoning distracting thoughts, and infusing his spirit into the sword body.
When Lin Tian did this, he could feel the broken sword actually trembled. This was not his illusion. Even the people around him saw the amplitude of the trembling.
"Huh? The sword seems to be moving?" Everyone was surprised and their eyes were immediately attracted.
Seeing the broken sword tremble, the Taotie system quickly shouted "Now", and then Lin Tian immediately bit his fingertips and used the blood from his fingertips to quickly draw a pattern that looked like a spell on the hilt of the broken sword.
Then, an incredible scene appeared. The broken sword stopped trembling, and its originally tattered appearance quickly faded from the dull color and became dazzling.
