Translator: 549690339
Lu Xiaoqing’s face was pale, her eyes filled with resentment as she glared at the laughing Wang Xuanlong and his cohorts.
“Qing, my brothers and I bear no ill intent, please don’t misunderstand.” Wang Xuanlong, slightly lean, tried to reassure her with a laugh.
The other two laughed along unabashedly, clearly following Wang Xuanlong’s lead.
Lu Xiaoqing met Wang Xuanlong’s gaze without fear: “No matter what, I will not let you have your way, even if it means death!”
Wang Xuanlong’s smile froze, replaced by a cold sneer: “Lu, I simply fell in love at first sight. Why are you acting this way? Do you think I’m unworthy of you?”
“Lu Xiaoqing, our Brother Wang likes you, that’s an honor. Do you know how many female disciples in the Martial Sect long for Brother Wang’s affection?” One of the young men beside Wang Xuanlong spoke up.
Lu Xiaoqing’s chest heaved with rage and she turned to retreat into the house.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xuanlong grabbed her wrist, yanking her back.
“What do you think you’re doing! Let go! You’ve gone too far!” Lu Xiaoqing struggled in vain. The difference in strength was simDlv too great for her to
break free from Wang Xuanlong’s grasp.
The Pill Apprentices around them were clearly uncomfortable but felt helpless against Wang Xuanlong. Anyone who met his gaze quickly lowered their head.
With a smug smile, Wang Xuanlong taunted, “Lu Xiaoqing, who can challenge me in this entire Pill Sect? You might as well submit to me. It will benefit you too.”
Lu Xiaoqing simmered with anger and despair. Observing her fellow disciples, silent in fear and frustration, her heart grew heavy.
Wang Xuanlong reveled in Lu Xiaoqing’s despair. He derived a perverse satisfaction from seeing despondency in her eyes.
Smack!
Out of nowhere, a powerful hand landed a hard blow across Wang Xuanlong’s cheek.
Wang Xuanlong was caught off-guard and was sent sprawling to the ground, seeing stars.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise. Wang Xuanlong’s lackeys and the rest of the Pill Apprentices present stared dumbfounded. Lu Xiaoqing gazed in stunned silence at the new arrival. Was she dreaming?
“Fang Lin.” She barely found her voice. He smiled at her.
“Lu, it’s been a long time,” Fang Lin greeted her with a smile.
Tears welled up in Lu Xiaoqing’s eyes. She bit back her tears, refusing to let them fall.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqing fight back tears, Fang Lin’s heart ached. His anger at Wang Xuanlong deepened.
“You bastard! I’ll kill you!” Wang Xuanlong, finally regaining his senses, charged at Fang Lin in a fury. His face twisted with malice and anger.
Fang Lin remained expressionless. As Wang Xuanlong charged towards him, his figure disappeared.
Wang Xuanlong stopped in his tracks, followed by a sharp pain at the back of his head, as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer.
“Dare to bully my Lu? I’ll beat you to a pulp!” Enraged, Fang Lin proceeded to rain blows upon Wang Xuanlong while muttering furiously to himself.
Wang Xuanlong was no match for Fang Lin. Even though Wang Xuanlong was a top-tier disciple in the Martial Sect, Fang Lin had already achieved the status of Earth Element Martial Artist. In terms of realm alone, he was completely dominant.
So, in Fang Lin’s hands, Wang Xuanlong was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to resist.
At first, Wang Xuanlong did his best to fight back, snarling in protest. But before long, he couldn’t do anything but curl up and scream in pain.
Seeing this, Wang Xuanlong’s companions attempted to come to his aid, only to be swiftly beaten down by Fang Lin.
Despite being tired, Fang Lin continued to deliver a brutal beating.
This spectacle rendered everyone speechless. The courtyard was filled with silence, punctuated only by the gasps for breath and Wang Xuanlong’s screams.
The three men’s helplessness filled them with intense irritation. When had they ever been treated this way before?
“Do you have any idea who I am? I am Wang Xuanlong from the Martial Sect!”
POW! Fang Lin landed a punch directly on Wang Xuanlong’s nose.
“You’re done for! You’re done for!”
POW! Fang Lin landed a punch right on Wang Xuanlong’s eye socket.
“I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
POW! Fang Lin gave a fierce kick to Wang Xuanlong’s stomach.
POW! POW! POW!
Fang Lin didn’t care what Wang Xuanlong said or how he threatened. He just kept punching and kicking.
No matter who Wang Xuanlong was or what the consequences would be, Fang Lin just wanted to give him a beating he wouldn’t forget.
Watching Fang Lin vent his anger on Wang Xuanlong and his men, Lu Xiaoqing couldn’t help but feel a surge of exhilaration. As far as she was concerned, Fang Lin was standing up for her.
“Brother Fang, don’t keep hitting them, we don’t want anyone to die!” Zhang Xiaohai hurriedly intervened, noticing that Wang Xuanlong and his men were barely able to make a sound anymore.
Lu Xiaoqing also came to her senses. While she harbored deep hatred for Wang Xuanlong and his men, she didn’t want Fang Lin to invite disaster for himself by inadvertently causing their deaths.
“Brother Fang, don’t let this get out of hand.” Lu Xiaoqing voiced her concerns.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin let up, albeit reluctantly. He gave Wang Xuanlong a few more kicks for good measure before stopping entirely.
Everyone turned to look at the beaten mess that had been Wang Xuanlong and his buddies. Their faces were swollen, their limbs seemed broken, and they lay on the ground, unable to even move or cry out.
No one pitied them – on the contrary, there was a sense of catharsis amongst the onlookers.
However, their momentary satisfaction was replaced by concern for Fang Lin. Wang Xuanlong was not an ordinary disciple; his background was quite significant. Since Fang Lin had beaten him to such a state, would his parents, who were elders, let the matter rest?
Fang Lin appeared nonchalant, as though he had not considered any potential consequences.
“Brother Fang, what do we do now? Wang Xuanlong’s parents are elders in the Martial Sect. They’re not likely to let this go.” Lu Xiaoqing voiced her concern. Waving his hand dismissively, Fang Lin replied, “No worries.”
Then he took out a black rope and began to tie up Wang Xuanlong and his mates.
“Zhang Xiaohai, Sister Lu, help me carry these guys to Elder Yan.” Fang Lin instructed.
Zhang Xiaohai and Lu Xiaoqing were confused by his request.
However, Fang Lin didn’t bother explaining. He wanted to take the initiative in this situation and avoid being in a defensive position.
Since Wang Xuanlong had a significant background, Fang Lin needed to align himself with a powerful figure within the Pill Sect.
Gu Daofeng was unreliable, while Han Yinyue’s involvement would be inappropriate.
Looking around the Pill Sect, there was only one person suitable for backing Fang Lin up.
That person was Yan Zhengfeng, the most senior member in the Pill Sect..
