Chapter 196 Lin Tian's Wrath
Liu Ji collapsed limply onto the cold table, his last breath as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, too weak even to utter a painful groan.
In his blurred vision, he could only see Lin Tian's cold, condescending figure, like a judge.
Then, Lin Tian raised his hand towards him.
There was no chanting, no magical fluctuations, and not even any sign of energy gathering.
He merely activated the primal power within him that transcended the rules—the Power of Domination!
Target locked: Liu Ji.
Effect—annihilation!
[Annihilation: Optionally eliminates the target completely. When used on a neutral monster, the unit will be permanently removed and will not respawn; when used on a player, the player will die permanently and will not be able to respawn at the respawn point.]
In an instant, an indescribable, eerie feeling, as if touching upon the fundamental rules of the world, enveloped the small area centered on Liu Ji.
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Ji's body, along with the gray leather armor he wore, and even the bloodstains on the table beneath him, began to appear... "unreal."
It's as if there's an invisible, absolute "eraser" that's erasing him from the informational level of this world in a way that transcends comprehension, bit by bit and irreversibly.
His outline began to blur, the colors faded rapidly, turning into the most basic black and white, and then these black and white colors, like ink drops in clear water, quickly faded and disappeared.
There were no screams, no explosions, no light.
The entire process was eerily quiet.
In less than two seconds, all traces of Liu Ji's existence vanished completely.
The commotion he caused, his meticulously planned conspiracy, and all his greed and ambition vanished and quickly subsided with the complete erasure of his existence.
Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it was completely "forgotten" by the entire lake without even causing a ripple.
quiet!
Deathly silence!
All the players in the square witnessed a scene that was far beyond their comprehension.
A chill that penetrated to the bone instantly swept through everyone's soul.
They looked at the figure on the platform, their admiration still present, but now tinged with an almost instinctive awe and fear.
"Thump—"
Wan Heng, the guild leader of the Iron Wall Guild, turned ashen-faced, his legs buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground once again.
The core members behind him also knelt down in unison, each one trembling with fear, their foreheads pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to lift them even slightly.
Liu Ji is a member of their guild, and even if he's just a newcomer, they can't sever that connection!
The thought of the potential for repercussions and the possibility of Lin Tian wiping out their entire guild as easily as he had wiped out Liu Ji filled them with endless fear.
Wan Heng's voice trembled, choked with sobs, as he incoherently begged for forgiveness:
"Lin Tian... Boss Lin Tian! It's my fault for not managing my subordinates properly, and it's my Iron Wall Guild for being blind to allow such a scoundrel to infiltrate and disturb you! We deserve to die! Please... please give us a chance to make amends! We are willing to accept any punishment!"
Lin Tian's indifferent gaze swept over Wan Heng and the others who were kneeling on the ground.
He didn't hold a grudge. The culprit had already paid the ultimate price, and he wouldn't needlessly implicate these clearly unaware tools.
However, this does not mean that the matter is over.
His attitude was noticeably colder than before, carrying an unquestionable aloofness and authority.
"Keep your people in check."
Lin Tian spoke, his voice calm yet like a law, striking the hearts of Wan Heng and all the members of the Iron Wall Guild.
"I do not wish for this to happen again. You all should take care of yourselves."
It was concise and to the point, without any unnecessary reprimands or specific punishments.
But the phrase "Take care of yourself" put Wan Heng under even more pressure than any severe punishment.
This means that the Iron Wall Guild's image in Lin Tian's mind has plummeted, and their future relationship will be extremely precarious.
They must redouble their efforts and devotion to have any chance of washing away the stains of today.
"Yes! Yes! We will follow your teachings, Master! Wanheng and the Iron Wall Guild will never forget you!" Wanheng replied almost in tears, his heart filled with lingering fear and relief.
Lin Tian said no more.
What needed to be handled has been handled, and what needed to be warned has been warned.
He didn't even glance at the players in the square who were still in shock and fear, as if killing a player was just like casually brushing away a speck of dust.
The next moment, starlight flickered around him, and [Blink] was activated!
Swish!
Without any warning, his figure vanished from the platform and left the square.
It came suddenly and left decisively.
Only tens of thousands of players remained in the square, still unable to fully recover from the shock, and a lingering sense of awe permeated the air.
The dust seems to have settled.
But the meaning represented by the name "Lin Tian" had become even heavier, more dignified, and even more... inviolable in the hearts of all the players who witnessed today's scene. Wan Heng, swept by that gaze, almost lost his soul, and with a thud, knelt directly on the ground, his voice trembling with sobs and extreme fear:
"Lin...Lin Tian, you're innocent! You're innocent! I...I don't know him at all! His name is Liu Ji, he's...he's a newbie who recently joined our guild, and he's quite hardworking...What, what did he do?! I really have no idea, sir!"
At this moment, Wan Heng wished he could devour Liu Ji alive!
He had painstakingly planned to use this opportunity to curry favor with Lin Tian and enhance the guild's reputation, but he never expected that such a daring madman would infiltrate his guild and dare to ambush Lin Tian!
This is practically pushing him and the entire Ironwall Guild down a path to their doom!
Lin Tian coldly looked at Wan Heng, who was crying and snotting his eyes. His powerful mental perception allowed him to roughly determine that the other party was not lying, and at least did not know the core of this attack.
However, this does not completely absolve the Ironwall Guild of its responsibilities.
"Your guild produced someone like this." Lin Tian's tone was calm, yet carried the weight of a final verdict.
"This 'gratitude ceremony' is now over. You and your guild need to give me an explanation."
He didn't say what kind of explanation was needed, but that in itself was the biggest pressure.
Wan Heng, as if grasping at the last straw, kowtowed desperately:
"Yes! Yes! Boss! I will definitely investigate! I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation! It was our inadequate supervision, we accept the punishment! We accept the punishment!"
Lin Tian ignored him.
His gaze swept across the entire arena once more, and the chilling pressure caused all the players who met his eyes to instinctively lower their heads, unable to look him in the eye.
"I do not wish for this to happen again. You all should take care of yourselves."
