The scream did not last long. Moments later, the young man from the Li Family had turned completely black, with his eyes bulging out, and had stopped breathing.

Fang Lin stood, a detached expression on his face, as if he had nothing to do with the two people who had just died at his feet.

The remaining three from the Li Family stared at Fang Lin in horror. The cold indifference on Fang Lin’s face after killing people made their hearts chill even more.

How could it be that someone as young as seventeen or eighteen could kill with such casual ease, as if eating a meal or drinking water?

“I’m sorry, it seems you won’t be able to kill me now,” Fang Lin said in a regretful tone to the three of them.

Their faces turned towards one another, and, for a time, they dared not make another move.

Helplessly, even when five of them joined forces, they still couldn’t finish off Fang Lin. Now two were dead, and Feng Lin remained untouched.

Just because they didn’t dare to make a move didn’t mean Fang Lin was willing to let them go.

The Li Family had sent someone to kill him, Fang Lin, so he didn’t want to let these people live to return.

Fang Lin wanted the Li Family to understand that if they tried to harm him, there would be a price to pay.

Then, with no sign of retreat, Fang Lin advanced again and attacked the three of them.

The three of them were stunned; they hadn’t expected Fang Lin to be the one to strike first.

Fang Lin didn’t hold back, unleashing the full force of his Nine Heavens Step. The three of them only felt a blur in front of their eyes, followed by a cold feeling at their necks.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Blood spurted out of their necks. Fang Lin appeared behind them. The blood was still fresh on the longsword in his hand, but his face remained expressionless.

The three of them tried in vain to plug the bleeding from their necks, but to no avail. They could only stare at Fang Lin with horrified and bitter looks.

Fang Lin’s expression stayed cold, his eyes didn’t even blink as he watched the three of them collapse to the ground, helpless.

The blood dyed the ground red, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood. The bodies of the five brothers from the Li Family lay torn and mangled on the ground, their eyes still wide open in death.

Fang Lin’s emotions did not fluctuate; it was as if he had done something very ordinary.

Killing, for Fang Lin, was simply too easy.

In his previous life, Fang Lin had saved many people with his Alchemy Tao, but

he had also killed many more.

A normal teenager of seventeen or eighteen could not perform such clean and efficient killings like Fang Lin.

The elder from the Li Family stared blankly at the five descendents of the Li family who had been brutally killed by Fang Lin, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

Huang Yongtian turned his head and was also surprised by how quickly Fang Lin had dispatched the five people. He thought to himself that this kid was ruthless, killing five people in succession without changing his expression.

However, now that Fang Lin was no longer a concern, Huang Yongtian could fully concentrate on restraining the elder of the Li Family.

The elder of the Li Family was filled with grief and anger, and was desperately fighting with Huang Yongtian. However, the next moment, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

Huang Yongtian also sensed something. He suddenly turned back and yelled at Fang Lin, “Run!”

Without any hesitation, Fang Lin dashed away, with the wind beneath his feet, straight towards the distance.

However, before he had gotten far, a figure suddenly lunged out, his powerful fist aimed directly at Fang Lin’s chest.

Fang Lin was shocked. His foot slipped, and he barely evaded the punch, stumbling to the side.

The attacker’s punch missed its target, which was slightly surprising, but he immediately chased after Fang Lin and threw another punch.

Fang Lin’s face darkened. This man’s strength was definitely above the Fifth Layer of the Earth Element realm. Even though he possessed Nine Heavens Step, he still found it difficult to evade this man’s pursuit.

While the Nine Heavens Step was indeed extraordinary, it couldn’t accomplish much if there was a large gap between realms.

If it wasn’t for the Wind-controlling Pill that Fang Lin had taken earlier, he probably wouldn’t have been able to dodge that punch just now.

And now, with the attacker’s fist approaching once again, Fang Lin clenched his teeth and thrust his sword towards the man’s fist.

Boom!

The next moment, Fang Lin was sent flying backwards, his longsword snapped in half, and a mouthful of blood was spat out.

“Die, Fang Lin!” The man roared, his face showing no mercy. He slammed one palm towards Fang Lin.

Although the palm had not yet arrived, it brought with it an extremely hot and vast momentum.

Fang Lin understood, this was the True Sun Energy of the Li Family; this man was undoubtedly another expert sent by the Li Family.

Fang Lin barely managed to use the Nine Heavens Step. He reached into his Nine Palace Bag and immediately threw a jade bottle behind him.

Crack!

The jade bottle shattered, filling the area with a cloud of poisonous smoke.

The man who was chasing Fang Lin frowned slightly. He didn’t dare to touch the poisonous smoke and had to bypass it instead.

This bought quite a lot of time for Fang Lin to escape.

With the Nine Heavens Step beneath his feet, Fang Lin seized this opportunity to sprint off into the distance.

Fang Lin felt a throbbing pain in his chest. That punch he had taken had really made him suffer quite a bit. Even the sword that Han Yinyue had given him was broken.

But now was not the time to dwell on his losses. Being able to save his life was the most important thing.

The poisonous smoke could only block the attacker for a while. The expert from the Li Family quickly bypassed the smoke. He was extremely fast and was hot on Fang Lin’s heels.

Fang Lin looked back and silently cursed. This damned Li Family really went all out to kill me. Not only was there an elder of the Li Family at the Ninth Layer of the Earth Element realm, but there was also this powerful man at the Fifth Layer or above.

However, Fang Lin did not despair. Although his realm wasn’t high enough, he still had a last resort to save his life, but he didn’t want to expose it unless absolutely necessary.

Whoosh!

With the wind howling, a long spear came from behind, aimed straight at the back of Fang Lin’s heart.

Fang Lin was horrified, for the spear came too fast, and he had no time to dodge.

With no other options, Fang Lin reached into his Nine Palace Bag. The Golden Flame Cauldron appeared instantaneously, shielding Fang Lin from the back.

Boom!

The spear hit the Golden Flame Cauldron, making a loud noise.

The next moment, the Golden Flame Cauldron shattered into pieces, turning into dim golden fragments that scattered on the ground.

Fang Lin’s face revealed a pained expression. Although the Golden Flame Cauldron wasn’t necessarily valuable, he had found it very handy to use. Now it was completely destroyed.

The burly man from the Li Family arrived again, and Fang Lin had no choice but to take to his heels and run.

“Fang Lin, you can’t escape! ” The burly man from the Li Family laughed cruelly, once again hurling his long spear.

This time, the long spear was even more powerful than before.

Fang Lin felt a chill at his back, as if something was about to pierce into his body.

Just when he was about to use his last resort to change the situation, a petite figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The spear arrived, but was caught in the petite figure’s hand and couldn’t move.

This scene was too sudden. The burly man from Li Family was stunned, and so was Fang Lin.

When Fang Lin turned around, he saw that it was none other than Han Xiaoxing with a cold expression on her face who had suddenly appeared and helped him.

The long spear in Han Xiaoxing’s hand seemed to have lost all of its power. With a slight effort from her, the spear broke into two pieces with a snap.

The burly man from the Li Family’s face suddenly turned ugly. Just as he was about to kill Fang Lin, suddenly Han Xiaoxing appeared, making things difficult for him..
