Chapter 139: Confrontation and Merits

Suddenly, a strong wind rushed towards the back of Lin Yan’s head.
Although the Stone Pagoda was effective against sharp weapons, the vital parts of the back of the head naturally could not be the same.
Lin Yan exerted strength under his feet and leaped to the side like an arrow leaving the bow. He dodged the sword at the back of his head before turning around.
It was Qin Xiang who attacked. He had a hint of interest on his face as the steel sword in his hand transformed into a dense sword net with the agile movements of his wrist that enveloped Lin Yan’s head.
What a fast sword!
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed. The power of the Thousand Pound Break under his feet suddenly erupted, and his speed instantly increased. He retreated and avoided the sword net.
This person’s sword was dense and fast. He had cultivated the Dragon-Shaped Fist, which was good at speed, but he could not dodge it with his normal speed!
“This speed is even faster than Fan Xiaopeng’s. Interesting. There’s actually a Tough Realm like you in the lower city.”
Qin Xiang put down the sword hilt and sized up Lin Yan with interest in his eyes.
Lin Yan frowned. This person exuded an extremely dangerous aura, causing his entire back to turn cold.
Qin Xiang was unperturbed. “Let me see how fast you are!”
The cold sword suddenly stabbed out like a shadow, suddenly arriving at Lin Yan’s chest!
Lin Yan’s expression turned cold. The injuries that had erupted in his body had already recovered. The strength in his body surged again, and Roaming Dragon Crossing and Thousand Pound Break erupted twice!
In an instant, he turned into a stream of light again. He was even faster than Qin Xiang. He dodged the sword and punched Qin Xiang!
Qin Xiang seemed to have expected this. He took a step and flicked his wrist.
The sword immediately transformed into a crisscrossing network that wrapped Lin Yan’s arm.
“Ding ding dang dang!”
The rapid sound of metal colliding sounded continuously. Lin Yan felt his arm turn slightly cold, and his sleeve was already shattered into pieces that scattered in all directions. Fine blood wounds also appeared on his arm.
With this obstruction, Qin Xiang had already retreated.
Qin Xiang’s eyes lit up. “It’s not easy for ordinary people to master a martial arts technique, but you actually cultivated such a hard body technique? No wonder you could kick Xiao Ye! I just don’t know if your eyes are so hard!”
The sword suddenly stabbed out, and a cold light like a star instantly arrived in front of Lin Yan’s eyes!
Clang!
A palm the sword edge in front of his eyes. Lin Yan snorted coldly and covered his face with his hand. He forcefully resisted the dense sword beams and charged towards Qin Xiang!
Qin Xiang’s expression froze slightly. In an instant, he swung countless swords!
However, when the sword landed on Lin Yan’s body, it was like a mosquito bite.
It only slashed out countless tiny wounds, all of which were superficial!
Crack! Crack!
“Got you!”
However, the sword was caught by Lin Yan!
Lin Yan gripped the edge of the sword tightly. It was the same as the person’s saber from before. It was unknown what material it was made of, but the ordinary-looking blade was actually intact under his terrifying grip.
With a burst of strength, he also controlled the long sword and kicked out!
It hit Qin Xiang in the chest and sent him flying with his sword!
However, Qin Xiang was different from Xiao Ye. He flipped beautifully in midair and landed steadily on the ground.
Lin Yan didn’t pursue. His expression became even more solemn as he looked at his palm. There were a few thin blood marks.
After kicking the enemy twice, he actually wanted to snatch the other party’s weapons!
However, the moment he kicked, an extremely sharp force erupted from the weapon. If he did not let go, his palm would definitely be cut off!
Therefore, after kicking the enemy, he finally let go of his palm and was unable to snatch their weapons.
The strength of these two people… was much more terrifying than what they were showing now!
Qin Xiang patted the footprint on his chest. His expression was normal and he was not injured at all. “No wonder you could kick Xiao Ye. These two kicks are enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life… Xiao Ye, why are you still lying down and pretending to be dead!”
In the distant tent, there was a loud bang. Qin Xiang waved his long saber as usual and cut off a few pieces of cloth that flew in front of him. He walked over.
There was a hint of joy in his eyes. He cupped his fists at Lou Xing, who was dodging to the side. “I obtained a lot from that slash just now. Thank you for enlightening me!”
Lou Xing was slightly stunned. “Thank… thank me?”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Qin Xiang’s gentle face. “Hey, Xiao Ye, you’ve caused trouble yourself. Aren’t you going to settle it first?”
He pointed at Lin Yan.
Xiao Ye’s face turned cold again. “Don’t you like to solve problems?”
Qin Xiang’s expression became slightly more serious. “There’s something strange about this guy. His strength is clearly only so-so, but I… feel a faint danger from him!”
Xiao Ye looked at Lin Yan and raised his saber slightly, revealing a solemn expression. “Me too.”
The two of them focused their gazes on Lin Yan. Their eyes were no longer as lazy as before and they gradually revealed serious expressions.
An invisible blade intent enveloped Lin Yan, making his skin tremble.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment. His blood energy was stimulated, and he took a deep breath. The dense blood wounds around his body slowly closed and recovered, causing Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang’s eyes to constrict.
Lin Yan had consulted Wu Qinglei and asked him about some magical cultivation techniques that could quickly recover his injuries. That was why he dared to use Rejuvenation in such a situation.
Finally, he was going to be serious…
“Senior Sister Chen, Mr. Song, take your men and retreat to the side first.”
Lin Yan pinched his fingers, his eyes gradually turning solemn.
The two of them did not use their full strength, so he naturally did the same.
He had actually been here for a while. He knew that these two people were from the Demon Suppression Division, so he had always held back when he attacked.
Not to mention anything else, he had not used any outburst of force in the two kicks.
If he had kicked with the Thousand Pound Break at the level of exchanging injuries for lives, even if the two of them had practiced defensive martial arts, it was impossible for them to stand here so leisurely.
The auras intertwined, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Even if Elder Xu, Lou Xing, and the others kept saying, “I’ll go with you!”, “Stop fighting!”, and “Stop!”
However, Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang seemed to be interested and turned a deaf ear.
Just as their auras reached the peak and were about to explode…
Suddenly, three white lightning bolts flickered like silver snakes dancing. They shot into the ground under the three of them, creating three charred depressions.
The surrounding auras suddenly relaxed and stopped.
The sudden lightning not only shocked Lin Yan and the other two, but it also completely shocked Song Yuansi, Song Yuanding, and the others. How could a person release lightning?
Wu Qinglei brought Fan Xiaopeng in slowly.
Fan Xiaopeng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the situation was fine.
He knew Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye well. These two were lawless. If they were pissed, they would vent their anger on the Song family.
He had promised Song Tian that he would protect the safety of the Song family.
He was not a match for these two freaks, so after they entered the Void Fist Sect’s camp, he immediately went back to find Wu Qinglei.
Unexpectedly, he saved Lin Yan in the end!
“If I had known, I would have run slower…”
Wu Qinglei looked at them and said, “Stop fighting. This is Lin Yan, a temporary Demon Suppression Guard. He’s one of us.”
Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang raised their eyebrows slightly. They were surprised, but it was reasonable. Their movements were standard as they bowed. “Greetings, Deputy Issuer.”
Their voices and demeanors were all respectful, but they were too standard, so much so that they seemed fake.
Lin Yan originally thought that he had to keep his identity a secret, but he didn’t expect Wu Qinglei to expose him. He bowed helplessly. “Greetings, Senior Wu.”
Song Yuansi, Chen Yuan, and the others looked at Lin Yan in shock. If Lin Yan was from the same organization as the two of them, why did he almost fight with them?
Wu Qinglei nodded and glanced at Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang before looking at the Void Fist Sect’s camp behind him. He frowned slightly and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
The most important thing for the Demon Suppression Division to do in the lower city was to keep a low profile and reduce the impact.
However, these two people came from noble backgrounds and did not know what it meant to keep a low profile. Once they became passionate, they would not take the rules of the Demon Suppression Division seriously at all. If not for the fact that the situation was easier now and there was no need to hide, they would probably have to spend a lot of effort to clean up their mess.
However, Wu Qinglei controlled his emotions very well and said gently, “Have you obtained the antidote formula?”
Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang looked at each other and shook their heads. “The antidote is in the hands of the Master of the Void Fist Sect, but he hasn’t returned yet. He might have encountered danger and escaped.”
Wu Qinglei’s eyes were filled with helplessness. If the two of you hadn’t come knocking on the door with great fanfare, would you have alerted the enemy and scared them away?
“This is troublesome.”
He swept his gaze and suddenly saw a strange expression on Lin Yan’s face. He couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Yan, do you know where the Master of the Void Fist Sect is?”
Everyone’s gazes gathered on Lin Yan.
Lin Yan glanced at it. “Is it a merit?”
Wu Qinglei raised his eyebrows and smiled. “As long as the information is accurate, of course it’s a merit!”
“Give me a moment.”
Lin Yan’s body flashed and he ran out of the camp. Not long after, he carried a stiff and green corpse back to the center of the camp and threw it on the ground.
“Here he is.”
Everyone gasped. Dead!
Song Yuanding and Song Yuansi recognized the Master of the Void Fist Sect. After carefully identifying him, they were even more shocked.
They knew his strength. His Clearness Fist was unpredictable, and he was even stronger than them.
But now, he had actually died in Lin Yan’s hands?
A Tough Realm cultivator? Didn’t this mean that Lin Yan could also kill them?!
Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed.
They were both Tough Realm geniuses who could kill a Noble Realm expert. It was precisely because of this that they knew how difficult it was to kill a Noble Realm expert, even if it was a pseudo Noble Realm expert.
They relied on the sharpness of their sabers and swords to break through the defense of the Noble Realm and kill the Noble Realm cultivator.
How did Lin Yan kill a Grand Realm expert with just a pair of fists?
Wu Qinglei was not surprised. To a certain extent, Lin Yan, who could deliver that terrifying punch, was more explosive than Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang.
“This is troublesome. The Master of the Void Fist Sect is already dead. Where can I find the formula for this antidote?”
Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang frowned even more badly. Their mission was to obtain the antidote formula. If they failed and could not take it back, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
“As for the antidote…”
At this moment, Lin Yan spoke again. Everyone was stunned. No way…
Wu Qinglei’s eyes lit up as if he had a premonition.
“The antidote… I know the formula! Is it a merit?”
