Chapter 1298: Do You Have Any Objections?

"Please give us some face."

Lin Mo's voice was calm but resonated throughout the battlefield, catching the attention of the top talents from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall and the Spirit Sword Hall.

However, they didn't take it seriously and considered Lin Mo somewhat foolish. Especially the top talents from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall, most of them had never seen Lin Mo and had no idea if he was simply being eccentric.

"I am Lin Mo. I will count to three, and those among you who belong to the Northern City's Fang family, the Lu-Cai-Chen family, or the Tianxing Gate's Lu family... can come to stand behind me. I promised your elders that I would take care of you."

Seeing that no one responded, Lin Mo continued using his mental power.

As soon as his voice reached them, everyone in the field heard it. Those belonging to these families hesitated upon hearing his words but didn't immediately make a decision.

Their family heads or elders had indeed mentioned this matter before, but they had regarded it as a joke, thinking that Lin Mo was trying to extort them and had no real intentions.

Seeing some hesitation but no immediate action, Lin Mo added, "Let me make it clear. If you don't come out this time, it's your choice to give up, and I won't care about your fate anymore."

"Following you means our lives are guaranteed?" someone asked.

"As long as I'm alive, I won't let you die," Lin Mo replied calmly. "This, I can guarantee."

The people from the Spirit Sword Hall looked worried, realizing that the people Lin Mo intended to protect were mostly from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall. This meant that they would essentially be protecting their enemies.

"Heh, Lin Mo? Such arrogance, daring to come to the battlefield and say such things."

One of the top talents from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall sneered, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let you die?"

"Do you have any objections?" Lin Mo turned around and asked calmly.

"Heh, none. What objections can I have to a dead man?" The top talent from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall who spoke earlier, ranking in the top thirty, sneered. He had heard of Lin Mo's name but dismissed him as someone who relied on others' help and plotted against experts.

Boom!

After speaking, he released a surge of energy that created a storm, sweeping across the entire area. His cultivation had already reached the Second Heaven of the Immortality Realm, making him an outstanding figure among the younger generation.

"Remember this. Su Bei, I'll send you to meet King Yan."

Su Bei said with a deep voice.

The onlookers also focused their attention on Lin Mo's side. If Lin Mo was protecting them and offering them a way out, it meant that they weren't weak. 

The few hundred people behind Lin Mo were also watching nervously. While they had agreed to follow Lin Mo, if he couldn't stand up against the top talents from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall, following him would be a dead end.

"Extraordinary valor!"

"Combining man and sword, peerless in the world!"

Lin Mo sneered, "You have objections? Oh, I forgot, you don't even have the qualifications to object."

Lin Mo gripped his war halberd and channeled his Heavenly Dragon Yuan Force within. He directed it toward Su Bei, slashing down with a mighty force. The halberd's shadow and the faint image of a dragon descended from the void.

Boom!

Everyone watched in shock as Su Bei's expression changed rapidly during his attempt to resist Lin Mo's attack. He couldn't withstand it and was sent flying while coughing up blood.

His life force rapidly weakened, and the last remnants of his immortal strength were crushed by the dragon-like image.

One top talent had fallen.

Silence descended over the battlefield. Everyone had stopped fighting, and all eyes were on Lin Mo.

"This... has Lin Mo become so powerful?"

"My goodness, he's many times stronger than when he was on Tianqiao Mountain!"

The people from the Spirit Sword Hall were also astonished. The top talents on Tianqiao Mountain were the first group Lin Mo had dominated. They knew just how terrifying Lin Mo could be.

However, now, Lin Mo's strength was even more astonishing than they had imagined.

The top talents from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall were also stunned. The top talents from Tianqiao Mountain, who had initially been controlled by Lin Mo, were the first to acknowledge his terror.

But now, Lin Mo's power was beyond their expectations.

"He... He defeated Su Bei in one move."

The Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall disciples couldn't believe their eyes. Su Bei was one of their top talents, and he had been easily defeated by Lin Mo.

"Count one!"

After killing Su Bei, Lin Mo began counting.

The family disciples who were supposed to be under his protection hesitated upon witnessing this scene. Some of them had already left their positions and joined Lin Mo's group.

"If you have objections, speak up."

Lin Mo continued counting, and the number of family disciples joining him increased.

"Take my strike!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a sharp spear shadow pierced through the sky and attacked Lin Mo with tremendous force. The entire battlefield felt the overwhelming aura.

"It's Fang Zhiyi!"

"The Spear King, Fang Zhiyi?"

"He actually came to this battlefield!"

As they saw the pitch-black giant spear in the sky, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

The disciples from the Spirit Sword Hall also recognized him.

"This guy hid on this side of the battlefield. It's a good thing Lin Mo provoked him, or else a sneak attack from him would have caused us heavy casualties."

"Yeah, Fang Zhiyi is one of the top ten experts in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Hall. His presence here is like a wolf among sheep."
