243: Let you go? Hahahaha

"Really! Brother Lin, don't hesitate anymore!"

"Ah... alright!"

Lin Sheng made up his mind with a difficult expression, his gaze sweeping over the eight Heavenly Mandated Protagonists. He sighed, "Since you've all made up your minds, I can't go against your wishes."

Saying this,

he strode over to the first Heavenly Mandated Protagonist in line, which was Chu Tianze.

Looking at this number one protagonist, who currently appeared as an old man, he raised his hand without any hesitation.

Slap!

His right hand swept out like lightning, heavily slapping Chu Tianze's face.

This powerful and heavy sound made the seven protagonists behind him feel a strange sensation.

Although they were the ones who told Lin Sheng to slap them...

But...

Was it really necessary to hit so hard!?

Chu Tianze, who was slapped, was clearly stunned. His eyes held a hint of disbelief as he looked at Lin Sheng, his expression seeming to say: No, just make it look good, why hit so hard??

Slap!!

Lin Sheng ignored their reactions and slapped him heavily again, knocking Chu Tianze's head sideways, his messy hair covering his face.

"Haha!"

At this moment, the Collapsing Heavenly Dao opposite clapped its hands and laughed heartily, "See that! Your Brother Lin actually hits so hard."

"Are you aware that I cannot control him."

"His strength is decided by himself, so it seems he really wants to slap you! Hahahaha...!"

[Collapse Value +10!]

"At this point, you're still trying to sow discord."

Seeing the protagonists frozen in place,

Lin Sheng turned his head and coldly snorted at the Heavenly Dao Light Person, "If I didn't hit harder, wouldn't you easily find an excuse to say my slap didn't count?"

"Then I would have to continue, and only my friends would suffer."

"Heh heh."

Hearing this,

the Heavenly Dao Light Person crossed its arms and let out cold laughs, "That's just your guess. I didn't say that if you slapped lighter, it wouldn't count, did I?"

"You just wanted to hit this hard yourself, don't try to explain."

Lin Sheng's gaze swept over the seven protagonists behind.

His eyes conveyed a questioning look.

The meaning was clear: Light or heavy, you decide!

The protagonists looked at each other, all a bit hesitant.

Finally,

it was Ye Liufeng, who was right next to Chu Tianze and supposed to be the next to be slapped, who spoke up, "Brother Lin, hit harder!"

"I'm not some spoiled little girl."

"It's just two slaps, are you saying I can't handle it?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the other protagonists behind them completely abandoned their other thoughts and expressed their support.

"Right! We protagonists must share weal and woe. What Brother Chu endured, we must also endure equally!"

"Exactly! It's just two slaps, no one can't handle it!"

"Brother Lin! Come on!"

Lin Sheng nodded.

He acted quickly, walking up to Ye Liufeng and giving him two "slap, slap" slaps.

Next were Lan Ao, Li Fei, Fang Yuan...

[Collapse Value +30!]

Soon,

all eight protagonists had been heavily slapped twice by Lin Sheng.

Each person had a red palm print on both sides of their cheeks, the prints clear and distinct.

"Ah... it hurts..."

After enduring the pain, the eight people immediately and impatiently shouted at the Heavenly Dao to release them.

"We've been slapped! You should let us go now!"

"Damn Heavenly Dao, aren't you going to lift the suppression on us yet!?"

"..."

[You just told them that if Lin Sheng slapped them, you would release them.]

[They have now done it, you decide—]

[A: Throw a tantrum, say you didn't see anything just now, and make them do it again.]

[B: Keep your word and release them.]

[C: Deliberately don't release them, letting them fully understand your dishonesty.]

[D: Propose new demands, letting them witness your wickedness.]

D!

"Release you?"

The Heavenly Dao Light Person lightly swept its gaze over the eight people opposite who were eager to get up. It first let out a few cold chuckles, then burst into loud laughter, "Hahaha, hahahaha!"

"Release you? Alright! As long as you complete one more demand of mine, I will truly release you this time."

"How about it? Want to do it again?"

"Hahahahaha...!"

[Collapse Value +50!]

The protagonists sighed in disappointment one by one.

This time,

they no longer showed obvious emotional reactions. It seemed they were truly utterly disappointed in the Collapsing Heavenly Dao and would no longer believe it.

They were even too lazy to express anger towards the other party.

"Brother Lin."

Li Changsheng suddenly cast a solemn gaze towards Lin Sheng and said, "When exactly can we offer you our luck so that the Heavenly Dao can truly be killed?"

"It has already openly declared to the entire world that it will soon sacrifice billions of living beings across all domains."

"If it escapes this time,"

"the entire world will be shrouded in threat!"

After he finished speaking,

before Lin Sheng could respond, the Heavenly Dao opposite had already snatched the conversation.

"Do you think..."

"Why did I specifically possess Wang Xuanba? Wasn't it to prevent your luck from being gathered? Even if you now offer all your luck to Lin Sheng, as long as I don't leave Wang Xuanba's body for a day, you won't be able to obtain his luck for a day! And you won't be able to kill me for a day...!"

The Heavenly Dao was still talking volubly on the other side.

But Lin Sheng had already thought of something.

To force the other party out of Wang Xuanba's body, he would at least need to be at the same realm and strength as the other party.

The Collapsing Heavenly Dao before him could easily handle Hong Meng, so it was undoubtedly in the Supreme Realm.

He opened the system panel and checked the cumulative Collapse Value he currently possessed—

1010!

'My current realm is Hong Meng Second Tribulation Third Layer. If I use a thousand Collapse Value, I can directly advance to Supreme First Tribulation Third Layer.'

'Perhaps I can forcefully expel the Heavenly Dao from Wang Xuanba's body?'

Lin Sheng pondered for a moment.

Finally, he decided—

Advance!

Without delay, he acted immediately!

Turning around, he stepped out, his figure instantly flashing above the Star Sea.

[Consuming 1000 Collapse Value, realm breakthrough begins!]

[Hong Meng Third Layer → Hong Meng Fourth Layer! (Second Tribulation)]

[Hong Meng Fourth Layer → Hong Meng Fifth Layer! (Second Tribulation)]

[...]

[Hint: Supreme Tribulation detected, automatically skipped to continue breakthrough!]

[...]

[Supreme Second Layer → Supreme Third Layer (First Tribulation)]

Earth-shattering, eye-catching breakthrough phenomena appeared in the Star Sea.

Lin Sheng didn't have time to look closely.

With a thought, his figure returned to Remnant Old Village.

Only about one or two seconds passed in between.

And when his figure reappeared in the original spot, the aura that had not yet subsided immediately stunned the Heavenly Dao Light Person opposite!

"What did you do!?"

"Did you go and seize the cultivation of the Truth Black Lotus???"
