Chapter 228: Spying and Savage Flame
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Clearly, Lin Yan’s assertion that there might be a mysterious person or thing in the Underworld made Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue fall silent on the spot.
So much so that they let Lin Yan go back without saying anything else.
After leaving the tent, Lin Yan felt very tired. He went straight back to his tent, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and lay down to rest.
Just as he was falling asleep, his clone suddenly warned him. Lin Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
In order to prevent anyone from ambushing him, he had spread out many clones outside the tent.
At this moment, when he woke up, he immediately sensed that outside the tent, a person was sneaking around. His fingers contained strength and cut open the curtain of Lin Yan’s tent.
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and lay down on his side, pretending not to notice.
That person entered the tent without making a sound, but his speed and movements were extremely fast. He quickly scanned his surroundings and immediately discovered the White Jade Fire Lotus.
In fact, Lin Yan didn’t hide it much and casually placed it in a wooden box.
That person was obviously extremely excited. His entire body began to tremble, but he professionally did not make a sound.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a low voice behind him. “Where are you going to take my thing?”
That person was shocked. Just as he was about to unleash his strength, he felt a scorching chill on his neck.
Just as he was about to turn his head, he realized that his head did not turn around. Instead, the world spun and fell off. The last scene was a headless corpse slowly turning around…
Lin Yan dispersed the Savage Flame Beheading Saber in his hand. He had only asked that question after cutting off his head.
This person’s strength was clearly at the Noble Realm, but he should be at the Yellow Grade Noble Realm. It was similar to the feeling Wu Qinglei and Fan Xiaopeng gave him.
Therefore, Lin Yan waited until the moment he discovered the White Jade Fire Lotus before launching a sneak attack. He beheaded the guy and killed him silently.
Otherwise, if they fought, the commotion would be too great.
As for keeping him alive to ask about his background…
It was obvious that this was definitely sent by other prefecture capital factions to find out what Lin Yan had gained.
Therefore, there was no need to ask… Just send them all away.
Lin Yan squatted down, opened his fingers, and picked up the White Jade Fire Lotus again.
Fortunately, the Savage Flame was a flame. At the same time of beheading, it froze the wound to prevent the blood from bursting out and dirtying the tent.
He stretched out his hand and pressed down. The Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame rose and wrapped around the person from top to bottom. In a breath’s time, the person’s body shrank into a small piece of charcoal and was casually thrown to the corner of the tent.
“Humans are clearly much smaller than Corpse Buddha Cockroaches, but the amount of Essence Energy is more than twice that of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. As expected of the spirit of all living beings…”
The feeling of absorbing people’s Essence Energy was actually not good.
Lin Yan only thought that this was a method to destroy the evidence.
“You dared to enter my tent at will because you treated me as a Tough Realm and you thought you could bully me at will.
“Perhaps I shouldn’t have killed him so quickly just now. Instead, I should have shown my Black Grade Force Feature at the right time…”
He had long planned to use Vermillion Bird Burning the Nine Heavens to disguise his Force Feature.
After making a slight choice, he chose the Original Dark Savage Flame. He weakened and restrained its power as his Force Feature.
Firstly, he chose this because the Original Dark Savage Flame was powerful enough and lethal.
More importantly, he had previously deduced a Black Grade Force Feature, Savage Flame.
The Original Dark Savage Flame was originally evolved and sublimated with this Savage Flame as the foundation.
After some experimentation, he immediately discovered that the White Jade Fire Lotus could also be used as an Unusual Item with the Savage Flame Force Feature.
Therefore, if he chose this Force Feature, not only could he disguise himself perfectly, but he could also sell this Force Feature in the future to exchange for a large number of merit points.
After thinking it through, Lin Yan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Someone came from outside again!
“Are you still not giving up? You just happened to come knocking on my door…”
He sat cross-legged on the bed and played with the White Jade Fire Lotus in his hand.
The next moment, a person carefully walked in through the tear in the tent and met Lin Yan’s calm gaze.
However, his gaze was immediately attracted by the White Jade Fire Lotus in Lin Yan’s hand. His eyes lit up as he exclaimed softly, “Black Grade Unusual Item!”
Lin Yan looked at him expressionlessly.
This person was a middle-aged bearded man. Lin Yan had seen him in Ding’an City before, but he couldn’t remember his name. He only remembered that he was also at the Yellow Grade Noble Realm.
The man’s voice was rough, but he deliberately lowered it. “Where’s Old Wang? Damn it, did this guy go to the wrong place?!”
Old Wang seemed to be the Noble Realm cultivator from before. This person must have come to check because Old Wang had not returned for a long time.
Seeing that Lin Yan didn’t answer, vigilance slowly rose in his eyes. “Kid, give me what you have!”
Lin Yan stopped playing with the White Jade Fire Lotus and slowly stood up from the camp bed. “The gains of the past five days seem to… belong to me, right?”
The bearded man sneered. “Flow arrogant! You’re just a lowly commoner at the Tough Realm. Do you think you’re worthy of such a treasure? I’ll say it again. Give it to me! Otherwise…”
The threat on his face was undisguised.
Lin Yan, who had his head slightly lowered, slowly raised it and grinned. “Were these your last words?”
In the next moment.
BOOM!
A violent explosion suddenly sounded in the silent camp at night.
“What’s wrong!”
“Is it an enemy attack?!”
“What enemy attack! We can’t even see half a Corpse Buddha Cockroach!”
“There! That’s…!!
H
A loud explosion woke up everyone in the camp.
Everyone quickly realized that the source of the explosion was Lin Yan’s tent!
At this moment, his tent had already exploded. A black flame slowly burned on the edge of the tent, like a cold circle.
Outside the tent, Lin Yan stood upright. His arms burned with similar black flames, like two pitch-black flags that fluttered beside him.
Beside his feet was a corpse that had been torn into pieces.
The corpse was too tragic. Its entire body had been cut into several pieces. The incision was filled with black flames. It was like charcoal. It was scattered on the grayish-green mud. It was already dead.
Some people recognized who this unlucky fellow was, but most of them were attracted by the White Jade Fire Lotus in Lin Yan’s hand.
“Black Grade Unusual Item… There’s a Black Grade Unusual Item in the underground world!”
“This Lin Yan… has also advanced to the Noble Realm? That Black Fire is his
Force Feature?!”
Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue also arrived instantly. When they saw the scene, they immediately understood what had happened. Lin Yan had been attacked!
Their expressions were ugly and shocked.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a hat walked forward and scolded sternly, “Lin Yan! You’re crazy! You’re just a lowly commoner from the lower city. How dare you kill someone from our Blue Feather Sect! You’re courting death!”
It was Fu Zishi from the Blue Feather Sect. His hair had been burned by Liu Lanqing back then, and he still only had inch-long hair now, so he was wearing a hat.
The crowd snorted. This person from Gray Feather Sect was so shameless. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what had happened. He actually complained first!
He was the person in charge of Blue Feather Sect. That person might have been sent by him!
Lin Yan played with the White Jade Fire Lotus in his hand. He had caused a huge commotion to establish his might.
Since he was establishing his might, he had to be ruthless.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the Savage Flame on his body surged as he walked towards Fu Zishi.
But just as he took a step, Lin Yan stopped.
A ferocious scarlet flame spread out from Liu Lanqing’s body and covered Fu Zishi’s face like a wave!
From the looks of it, she had no intention of leaving anyone alive!
Fu Zishi did not panic. Instead, he shouted for help, “Teacher Ling, save me!”
Ling Shuangxue was sent here because of the discussion between the few factions to keep Liu Lanqing in check.
One of her missions was to suppress Liu Lanqing so that she could not do anything reckless and use force to threaten the other inspectors!
Now that Liu Lanqing was about to kill him, this Ling Shuangxue would definitely…
He didn’t think of anything else.
The flames instantly engulfed him and wrapped him in raging flames. Only then did Fu Zishi realize that he should’ve unleashed his strength. As he screamed, he tried his best to isolate the flames.
However, his force became the fuel for the flames, causing the scarlet flames to burn even more vigorously. In an instant, his flesh and skin were burned to ashes.
Then, a cold force attacked and threw into the flames, freezing all the flames.
Fu Zishi, who had already turned into charcoal and was completely dead, was frozen.
Everyone looked at Ling Shuangxue in shock.
Ling Shuangxue finally revealed a hint of shame. “I was too slow. I’m sorry.”
Everyone’s expressions became even more horrified. Who would believe it!
This Ling Shuangxue didn’t want to save anyone!
After the man was burned to death, she still froze him on the spot. This meant that after Liu Lanqing burned him once, she wanted to freeze him again!
Wasn’t Ling Shuangxue at odds with Liu Lanqing?
Why was he venting his anger today?
Could it be…
Everyone turned to look at Lin Yan, revealing even more shock.
It’s him?!
These two people were venting their anger for him?!
Lin Yan looked down.
He naturally knew his limits.
What they were doing was clearly because of the thousand White Jade Fire Lotuses, Black Grade Unusual Items!
It was obvious that the two of them had reached an agreement and temporarily put aside their grudges.
The huge benefits made these two most terrifying women in Ding’an City temporarily cooperate!
“Lin Yan, come.”
Liu Lanqing said and turned around to go to the tent. Ling Shuangxue followed behind.
Lin Yan naturally went over.
Only the pale and horrified crowd behind them was left. As they looked at the backs of the three of them, thousands of thoughts ran through their minds.
“So, you picked two White Jade Fire Lotuses at that time?”
Ling Shuangxue stared at Lin Yan with a hint of danger in her eyes.
Lin Yan was unmoved.
Liu Lanqing didn’t care about Lin Yan’s concealment at all. Instead, her eyes lit up. “Have you used the other plant? Have you already achieved the Force Feature?”
Lin Yan nodded.
“Black Grade or Yellow Grade?”
Black Grade Unusual Items did not necessarily have a Black Grade Force Feature. Instead, there was a high chance that it would only have a Yellow Grade Force Feature.
“There’s no comparison. Compared to Deputy Issuer Wu and Fan Xiaopeng, I’m probably… a little stronger than them.”
“Then it’s the Black Grade!” Liu Lanqing’s eyes were filled with joy. “Good, good, good! The Black Grade Force Feature, did you achieve Explosive Flame?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “No.”
No?” Liu Lanqing was slightly stunned. “Then what Force Feature did you achieve?”
“Savage Flame—this is the name I gave it.”
As he spoke, Lin Yan opened his palm, and a ball of black burning Savage Flame appeared.
Amidst Liu Lanqing’s shock, there was a hint of disbelief. “In other words, what you achieved is a brand new Force Feature?”
Lin Yan nodded and said softly, “That’s right.. This is a Force Feature that I deduced myself!”
