Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Assassinating Xu (Part 3) Please Follow for More Updates
Zhang Lao Da had originally intended to abandon Tian Lin and escape alone, but he had not expected that Manager Xu would not take Tian Lin seriously, only ordering Tongsha to deal with this 'third-rate expert' Tian Lin.
In a fortunate misfortune, the one who fled first was caught, while Tian Lin, who fled later, managed to avoid Manager Xu, the one with the strongest cultivation.
Now that Zhang Lao Da himself could not escape, he simply clung to Manager Xu, determined to create obstacles for him.
"Heh heh, escape? You can't escape, and neither can your fourth brother."
Manager Xu angrily delivered an elbow strike to Zhang Lao Da behind him: "Why did you two betray me? I gave you so much trust, yet you wanted to kill me and steal my Immortal Techniques?"
He delivered a series of elbow strikes, causing Zhang Lao Da's chest to cave in repeatedly; mouthfuls of fresh blood sprayed onto the back of Manager Xu's neck.
"Let go!"
Manager Xu reached for Zhang Lao Da's shoulders, tore him off his back, and then hurled him towards Tian Lin as a weapon.
At the edge of the fish pond, Tian Lin watched as Zhang Lao Da's body fell down, plopping right in front of his feet.
Just to hear Zhang Lao Da say: "Run, go home, stop Seeking Immortality!"
Stop Seeking Immortality?
If not for Seeking Immortality, then what was he doing working in the mines?
If not for Seeking Immortality, what else was there for him to do in this world?
Escape?
Where to escape to?
Tian Lin watched as Manager Xu leaped down from the corridor, then turned around and plunged into the fish pond.
"Hide? In this tiny pond, where can you hide?"
First, Manager Xu kicked Zhang Lao Da into the fish pond, and then he too jumped in.
While searching with his hands for Tian Lin hidden underwater, he also kicked wildly about in the fish pond with his feet.
His skills were greatly reduced in the water. Despite this, one after another, the grass carps surfaced, belly-up.
"Heh heh, holding your breath underwater? I'd like to see how long you can last!"
Manager Xu said this, then suddenly realized something was amiss.
Even if his divine abilities were unparalleled, it wasn't possible to kick an entire pond of fish to death with just a few kicks.
"You're courting death!"
Manager Xu seemed to think of something, his shock turning into rage as he tried to climb out of the fish pond.
But just as he grasped the edge of the pond, his waist was tightly grasped by someone.
"Zhang, you're not dead yet?"
Manager Xu was furious, struggling to pry Zhang Lao Da's hands off.
Zhang Lao Da's head emerged behind him; with a pale face, he said smilingly: "You're not dying; why should I be in a hurry to die?"
Manager Xu said in panic: "Let go quickly, the pond is poisoned. If you don't let go, we'll all die here."
"Then let's die together. We all came from Huahua Lang, isn't it nice to die together on the road to Seeking Immortality?"
"Madman!"
Manager Xu couldn't swim, and the water in the pond, originally not enough to submerge his head, seemed to start 'rising.' He was dragged under by Zhang Lao Da.
Manager Xu choked on water while breaking both of Zhang Lao Da's hands.
But as he struggled to surface from the pond, a knife had already been plunged into his waist.
Manager Xu struggled to open his eyes, only to vaguely see Tian Lin holding a knife in one hand and a shriveled white cloth bag in the other.
He had no time to guess what poison had originally been in the white cloth bag because whatever it was, it was now dissolved in the pond water.
While choking on the poisoned water, he stood up from the pond by relying on his cultivation.
His eyes blazing with rage, he struck out at Tian Lin's head with his palm, but he was caught off guard when Tian Lin's blade severed his right arm.
"How is this possible!"
He felt his cultivation was no longer responding; it was due to the poison in the water.
But Tian Lin had entered the water even before he did; why was his power not diminished in the least?
"Let me go! I've been out seeking immortality for many years, and it took so much effort to become a close confidant to young master Shang through my daughter, and it took so much effort to learn Immortal Technique from young master Shang through my daughter—I'll soon reach the first level of Qi Cultivation, soon become an Immortal Master, I beg you, let me go!"
Manager Xu began to plead for mercy, but Tian Lin had already dismembered his other arm and then cut off both his legs.
Soul Burying Pollen has no color or taste, so no one could see that poison had been put into the pond, nor could they discern what kind of poison it was.
But after both of Manager Xu's hands and feet were cut off, the fish pond turned completely into a pool of red soup.
Tian Lin lifted the barely-breathing Old Zhang from the fish pond, dragging him out of the water.
Listening to Old Zhang speak in his arms:
"I went out to seek immortality as a Huahua Lang very early, thinking that I could enter an immortal gate and return home in glory; unfortunately, I didn't make it as Huahua Lang, but I did acquire a set of martial arts skills in the worldly society. By the time I returned home, I found out I had a brother whom I had never met, so our relationship wasn't good. At that time, he was picking wild vegetables to eat alone in the village, and my parents had already passed away—"
He spoke with difficulty, light red blood slowly seeping from his mouth.
Tian Lin sat on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Stop talking, I know those words are from the Leopard, you used them to deceive Manager Xu."
But Old Zhang chuckled: "I didn't deceive Manager Xu, because I share the same experiences as the Leopard, as do many Huahua Langs."
He said, "The only difference is, the Leopard came to his senses, sought immortality with his brother, and died for his brother."
"As for me, I too took my brother out of the village. But during a chance to seek immortality, I traded his life for my own."
"Fourth brother, listen to me, don't seek immortality anymore. I've sought it all my life and ended up with nothing."
"Go back and live your life honestly."

Tian Lin watched Old Zhang slowly pass away before he rose and walked towards the pond.
With one hand, he fished Manager Xu out of the water, and saw the dismembered Manager Xu mumble in a daze: "Let me go, I'll pass on the Immortal Law to you!"
Tian Lin said, "Alright, then tell me the Immortal Law!"
Manager Xu still had his eyes closed, mumbling, "Let me go, I'll tell you the secrets about young master Shang in the mine."
Tian Lin frowned, certain that Manager Xu was no longer lucid.
He looked around; the courtyard was eerily quiet, and Tian Lin instinctively felt something was amiss.
Indeed, a patter of footsteps was heard approaching.
Without further hesitation, Tian Lin grabbed Manager Xu and ran towards the back door.
With a 'creak', the back door was opened by someone just then, and young master Shang entered leisurely with a fan in his hand.
When he saw Manager Xu in a state like a human stake under the arm of the soaked Tian Lin, he was clearly taken aback.
Then young master Shang laughed and said to Xiaoyue beside him, "I calculated everything but didn't expect your father to be no match for this brat."
Xiaoyue was also visibly shocked; she called out 'Dad' to Manager Xu but got no response.
Tian Lin placed the blade against Manager Xu's throat and said, "Make way, or I will kill Xu."
Young master Shang laughed and said to Xiaoyue, "Tell the shopkeeper to bring the carriage over, let's give this Brother Tian a surprise."
