Chapter 932: Chapter 935 Augustine_1 Chapter 932: Chapter 935 Augustine_1 The flying vehicle came to a halt.

Ten Martial Artists at God Realm Stage surrounded Lin An, while the Divine Stone Stage squad leader stepped forward to Lin An’s side.

“Fool!

What are you running for!”

The squad leader barked menacingly, then raised his hand and ordered: “Everyone, prepare to snatch this kid and take him back.

We’ll torture him slowly before killing him.

Let him serve as a warning to the other miners.

Running won’t lead them anywhere but this.”

Tian Hao and a few others from the God Realm Stage approached with wicked grins.

…

In their eyes, dealing with a Three Flowers Peak was effortless.

Lin An took a deep breath.

He knew he couldn’t fight back, as it would be a dead-end.

His only hope was to buy time using his father’s reputation.

“You can’t do this to me, my father won’t let you off.”

“Your father?”

The Divine Stone squad leader displayed a strange smirk, then turned to his men: “Didn’t you just say that some miners fail to realize their impending doom?

They claim to be relatives of so-and-so.

Here’s such a case.”

Tian Hao broke into laughter, “Ha-ha-ha!

Look at you, boy.

You’ve been mining in Skyfire City for some time.

You dare to use your pathetic backstory here?

Will that help you?

You risk bringing disaster to your kin.”

Another God Realm Stage figure jeered, “Looking at your cowardly posture, your father couldn’t be that impressive either.

I bet he’s some insignificant half-god, or some self-important Divine Stone Stage.

The last thing possible is King Sealing.”

“Hehe, well, even if his dad was King Sealing, it wouldn’t matter.

Skyfire City has plenty of King Sealing nobles, but none of them dare mess around.”

Lin An shook his head gently, “No, my father is one at the God Realm Stage.”

“God Realm Stage?

Ha-ha-ha!”

The few Martial Artists who were curious about the identity of Lin An’s father burst into laughter.

That Tian Hao mocked openly, “You’re the epitome of a frog in the well.

God Realm Stage guys like us are small squad leaders here at best.

And you dare to brag about it.

You’re hopeless.

I’ll catch you now and see if your father at the God Realm Stage would dare to come to your rescue.”

The squad leaders were about to rush over when Lin An hurriedly shouted, “My father is a member of the Hall of Fame!”

The men who were about to take action froze.

Tian Hao sneered after a beat, “What, do you think we’re fools?

Most Hall of Fame members are half-gods, some are Divine Stone Stage; where would a God Realm Stage Hall of Fame member come from?

You better come up with a more convincing lie.”

Lin An glanced at Tian Hao, “Not necessarily, you don’t seem to know much about the Hall of Fame.”

Just as Tian Hao was about to retort, the Divine Stone Stage squad leader abruptly spoke up.

“There is indeed one God Realm Stage member in the Hall of Fame.

He’s been quite the talk of the Hall of Fame lately.

Did you forget?”

The subordinate crew gawked, and Tian Hao exclaimed in surprise: “Commander, do you mean…Lin Zhen?”

Lin An affirmed, “Yes, my father is Lin Zhen.

Our hometown tradition mandates that my last name matches my father’s.

That should prove it.”

The squad leader stared at Lin An skeptically, “Who knows if you’re bluffing?

There are plenty of Lins out there.

You could’ve fabricated Lin Zhen’s name just to save your skin.”

“Can one fake such a thing?

My father left his Dimensional Universe ID when he posted in the Dimensional Universe.

You could verify it with him if you don’t believe me.

Won’t the truth reveal itself quickly?”

The men looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

To them, unless Lin An’s relatives were deities, they wouldn’t care much.

They hadn’t even considered the Hall of Fame because those Martial Artists were rare.

But if Lin An was indeed the son of Lin Zhen, they would have to tread carefully.

The Hall of Fame wasn’t a joke.

Nobody would want to upset them.

If a Hall of Fame member were to ascend to godhood, it would be terrifying.

The Divine Stone Stage squad leader didn’t add Lin Zhen as a friend, but instructed his men, “Just wait a moment, I’ll get instructions from our superior.”

********

At the Ground Clan headquarters in Skyfire City, an elderly man with white hair and rugged features was engaged in a conversation on the Dimensional Universe.

Bai Yunyan was the one he was talking to.

Bai Yunyan pleaded with the old man, “Sir Augustine, Lin An is Lin Zhen’s son.

Lin Zhen is a new member of our Hall of Fame.

I hope you will be lenient and spare his son.”

Augustine stared at Bai Yunyan and responded gruffly, “Bai Yunyan, you don’t understand the rules here.

To gain respect here, you must be ruthless.

Kindness won’t get you anywhere.”

“I understand, but Lin Zhen…”

“What about Lin Zhen?

Bai Yunyan, you should be familiar with the laws among Martial Artists.

Lin Zhen is just the 98th ranked new member of the Hall of Fame.

There’s a high probability he won’t even pass the first round of the challenge this time.

You want me to spare his son?

On what ground?

Does my rank as fifth place allow him to violate Skyfire City’s rules?”

Bai Yunyan was at a loss for words.

Augustine’s reaction was not unexpected.

He was one of the elites among the Hall of Fame members, and Lin Zhen’s rank was indeed low.

Moreover, Bai Yunyan’s weight wasn’t enough.

If he were in the top ten, maybe Augustine would have considered it.

“Enough, Lin An must be punished.

If Lin Zhen disagrees, let him come to me!”

Augustine cut off the call, showing no respect for Bai Yunyan.

After hanging up the call with Bai Yunyan, Augustine immediately accepted a request from the Divine Stone Stage squad leader.

“No need for further delay.

Capture Lin An immediately.

Skyfire City fears no one.

If you don’t understand that, you might as well not exist!”

The Divine Stone Stage squad leader agreed promptly.

Augustine ended the call, a cold aura now visible on his face.

“Lin Zhen…

When you dealt with Li Nian in Tianfang City, did you ever imagine that Li Nian was me, Augustine!”

If Lin Zhen were here, he would surely recognize this Augustine as Li Nian.

Augustine is a Martial Artist of the Canon Clan, and Li Nian is his alter ego.

Augustine, the martial arts genius, is the primary soul, while Li Nian is a genius in alchemy, a peak of the Seventh-grade Alchemist.

Augustine devoted himself to martial arts, and the powerful talents of the Canon Clan made him become a Hall of Fame strong one.

The primary and the alter ego live independently and do not interfere with each other.

No one knew that the main body of Li Nian was Augustine.

Initially, Li Nian took people to attack Lin Zhen’s territory, but Lin Zhen turned the tables on him, causing Li Nian to suffer heavy losses.

He had to withdraw from the elixir market of Tianfang City and now makes a living in another distant city, which is far less prosperous than before.

Augustine originally intended to deal with Lin Zhen in the Eye of the Storm, and he even arranged people for it, but he did not expect Lin Zhen to be so vigorous.

He reached his present height and swept everyone in the Eye of the Storm, causing Augustine’s plan to go bust again.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zhen’s son became a miner here, which immediately gave Augustine hope for revenge.

He swore not to let Lin Zhen off!

*********

After receiving Augustine’s order, the squad leader no longer gave Lin An any opportunities.

“You brat!

Even if your father is Lin Zhen, so what?

The ranking system of the Hall of Fame Martial Artists is strict.

The martial artist ranked 98th is nothing in front of the one ranked 5th.

Accept your fate!”

After saying this, he waved to several people at the God Realm Stage next to him: “The boss has ordered to capture him alive.

Take him down!”

“Let me do it, I alone can deal with him!”

Tian Hao roared and pounced on Lin An.

The others didn’t move for the time being.

To deal with a mere Three Flowers Peak, early-stage God Realm Tian Hao was more than enough.

Seeing this, Lin An knew that he couldn’t delay any longer, he had to fight.

It was not easy to delay until now.

All he could do now was to try to stall for as long as possible.

Facing Tian Hao’s attack, Lin An swung the alloy pickaxe in his hand and counterattacked immediately!

When a martial artist has trained to a certain level, the type of weapon doesn’t matter much.

Bare hands can easily break through mountains, and any ordinary weapon can produce great power.

Tian Hao swung his longsword, battling with Lin An.

The alloy pickaxe was cut off after two rounds, and Lin An started wrestling with Tian Hao.

As expected of Lin Zhen’s son.

The Lin brothers, Lin Ping and Lin An, received the best training from an early age.

Their combat power was almost invincible among their peers.

Even without the alloy pickaxe, Lin An believed he could easily kill those at the Spiritual mind Stage.

The opponent was at the God Realm Stage, two major realms above him, which posed a great challenge for Lin An, after all he was not Lin Zhen.

But Lin An persisted, displaying all his learned skills as best as he could.

The squad leader wanted him alive, so Lin An risked it with constant attacks and entanglement.

He held Tian Hao off for a while, making it impossible for Tian Hao to get him quickly!

Tian Hao could beat him, but to capture him alive was too difficult for him alone!

Bereft and entangled with Lin An for a while, Tian Hao turned his head back and said, “Captain, this kid is too tough.

Can I just kill him?”

“Useless!

Try defying the boss’s order if you dare!”

The captain cursed furiously and waved his hand again: “All of you, attack together.

Less talk, more action.”

The rest of those at the God Realm Stage rushed up.

Lin An couldn’t resist any longer and was easily knocked down and captured.

“Feel like boasting now, brat?”

Tian Hao pressed Lin An down and gave him several slaps.

“Let’s go, take this kid back and hand him over to the boss.”

Several people dragged Lin An toward the flying vehicle.

At that moment, Lin An felt somewhat desperate.

Even if his father came to Skyfire City, he might not be able to save him.

“Father~~~!”

Lin An yelled at the starry sky, a sense of despair in his voice.
