Chapter 150: Successive Withdrawals, Powerless to Intervene!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

Si Lintian said with a solemn expression, "Gongsun Qian'er, your five great families are under the protection of the Star Dragon Empire's royal family. Are you truly prepared to stand by and do nothing at such a critical moment?"

Gongsun Qian'er waved her hand and sighed, "Senior Hantian, do not put it so harshly. We were born in the Star Dragon Empire, and by duty, we should indeed be under the protection of the royal family."

"Furthermore, it is not as if we receive this protection for free. Does the Empire not require our five great families to send men to guard the borders every year? It would be more accurate to call it self-preservation rather than imperial protection. We are all past the age of naivety; let us dispense with such high-sounding rhetoric."

"You..." Si Lintian flicked his sleeve in anger and retorted, "The Gongsun family may hold this view, but the other families may not necessarily agree."

Li Changqi spoke respectfully, "Senior Hantian, the Li family shares the same sentiment. We have no intention of involving ourselves in the dispute between the Ma family and this senior. If this senior were truly spent, we would naturally be willing to lend a hand. But given this senior's strength, if we were to risk our lives to kill a Supreme-level expert, I fear we would be powerless to do so."

He turned to the figure, "Senior, you agree with my assessment, do you not?"

"To be able to clash with the Three-Bladed Sword to this extent, and even suppress more than half of Senior Hantian's power, this senior is likely far beyond a mere Supreme-level expert. The Li family certainly has no desire to offend such a master."

"The Wang family feels the same."

"The Chen family agrees as well."

...

"You are all wise enough to know your place. I have no desire to start a major conflict here today," Lin Han said with a soft laugh.

In his current state, he was far from his best. If this group were to attack him all at once, he would surely face certain death. However, as long as they harbored fear, the situation remained manageable.

With this in mind, the face beneath his cloak gradually shifted, eventually taking on the likeness of Si Lintian. At that moment, his "Free Divine Mask" recorded all the necessary details.

"Since you wish to witness my true strength, then I shall let you see it."

As he spoke, wind and thunder surged behind him, and boundless power gathered in the surrounding space, roaring with a heaven-shaking momentum!

"Thunder God Domain! Amplify!"

"Wind God Domain! Amplify!"

"What?!" Si Lintian’s eyes widened in disbelief. This person possessed both wind and thunder elemental affinities! This should be impossible!

The aura emitted by that guillotine earlier had clearly been of the shadow element. A triple-element mage?!

What kind of profession was this guy? How could he achieve such a feat?

Moreover, the power currently radiating from him was far beyond what a Supreme-level expert should be capable of. As a level-six Supreme, he knew well that even at the pinnacle of the Supreme realm, one could never produce such a display. Could it be that he had been hiding his true strength all along?

"Saint-tier... this person is of the Saint-tier!" Zhang Xifeng’s eyes were filled with shock. Such magic, capable of destroying heaven and earth, was certainly not something a Supreme-level expert could achieve.

Gongsun Qian'er felt a sense of dread settle in her heart. Merely witnessing this magic gave her the sensation that her very body was being torn apart. The gap in their levels was too vast. To this senior, killing her would likely require no more effort than crushing an ant.

She was glad she had made the correct decision. Had the five families intervened, even if they had managed to kill this senior, several Supreme-level experts would have certainly perished here. As for those with lower strength like herself, they probably would not even have survived the residual shockwaves of the battle.

"Everyone, are you still determined to persist?" Lin Han swept his gaze across the crowd, his tone exceptionally fierce.

Three minutes. He could only maintain this display of power for three minutes! And his body’s current mana reserves could not even sustain that for long. Although he was using Supreme-level magic, it was being amplified by fifty percent through his forbidden spell; in terms of effect, it was not quite at the Saint-tier level. It was barely reaching the pinnacle of the Supreme realm, though it was infinitely close to the Saint-tier.

It was all a bluff. If he were actually forced to fight, he would likely die on the spot.

"Senior truly possesses great divine abilities. Our Gongsun family will not interfere in this matter. Please, Senior, withdraw your power; I can barely hold on," Gongsun Qian'er said, cupping her hands. At that moment, she was only able to remain standing because the seniors of her family were helping to block some of the pressure. Had she faced such a powerhouse alone, she might have stopped breathing from sheer terror.

"The Wang family will no longer participate in this matter."

"The Li family will no longer participate."

"The Chen family as well."

Hearing these words, Lin Han silently withdrew all his power. If they had waited any longer, he would have collapsed.

"Senior Hantian, our Gongsun family will step aside and watch. We will definitely not take action against you. Please, proceed as you wish," Gongsun Qian'er said, retreating with her people. The other families followed suit.

Their original intention had been to watch the spectacle, but they had never imagined the situation would spiral into this. This had crossed the threshold of what they were willing to risk. Although each of their families had Saint-tier experts, provoking someone of this caliber would only invite disaster upon their houses in the future.

It is better to make friends than enemies!

"Hantian, that should be enough, shouldn't it? You have seen it for yourself; even if you continue, you will only face certain death," Lin Han warned. "I only want the Ma family boy to give me an explanation. My disciple is not someone he can touch whenever he pleases."

Si Lintian said in a low voice, "Senior, I have learned a bit about the Ma family's affairs. My subordinates have reported to me that the Ma family was indeed in the wrong."

"But these matters can be resolved through the Empire. Why must you be so aggressive?"

Lin Han sneered, "Aggressive? I know exactly what the Empire is like. Hantian, I see that you have some sense, which is why I haven't laid a hand on you yet. I suggest you do not be ungrateful. I have my own standards for how I conduct my affairs."

Ma Tianxing said in a panic, "Senior Hantian, save me! Save me! I am a member of the Star Dragon Empire, and I am the young master of the Ma family! You cannot let anything happen to me!"

"Si Lintian, are you planning to flee the battlefield?" Zhang Xifeng frowned. If Si Lintian were willing to assist, they might still have a chance to fight. But alone, he was no match for this monster!

"Zhang Xifeng, I am powerless to help you here."
