Han Xiaoxing’s expression was extremely cold, her sightless eyes staring blankly ahead.
Although she couldn’t see, she was aware that Fang Lin was behind her, and she also knew the location of the big man from the Li Family.
“Fang, are you alright?” Another voice rang out. Fang Lin turned his head and saw that it was Qing Jianzi.
At this moment, Fang Lin felt entirely relieved. With the appearance of Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi, they would naturally handle the big man from the Li Family, so he no longer has to worry.
“You came to save me, right?” But Fang Lin still asked.
Han Xiaoxing did not react, Qing Jianzi was momentarily dumbfounded, then he laughed bitterly and said: “If we aren’t here to save you, are we here to kill you?”
Seeing this, Fang Lin felt completely at ease. It looked like these two were indeed here to help him.
“Since that’s the case, I’m grateful for your help,” Fang Lin said to Qing Jianzi, making a thankful gesture with his fist.
Qing Jianzi nodded, then stood beside Han Xiaoxing, his eyes extremely sharp as he stared at the big man from the Li Family.
The man from the Li Family’s expression was gloomy, frustration filled his heart.
As a powerful sixth layer Earth Element user, he failed to capture a first layer Earth Element pill refiner which was absolutely disappointing.
If this spread, his reputation in the Li Family would undoubtedly be tarnished.
And now, the appearance of Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi only added to his despair. As long as these two were here, he would likely not have another chance to make a move on Fang Lin.
Even though the man from the Li Family was confident in his own abilities, he still felt uncertain about going against Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi. After all, these two were notoriously formidable.
“Li Songwen, so it’s you.” Qing Jianzi stared at the man from the Li Family for a while, then suddenly laughed.
Li Songwen grunted, retorting, “So what if it’s me?”
Qing Jianzi nodded, didn’t say anything, and instead turned to look at Han Xiaoxing.
Han Xiaoxing’s tone was harsh: “Li Songwen, dare to touch a person from our
Purple Mist Sect, you won’t live to see tomorrow!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xiaoxing made her move, she had no intention to continue the banter.
A person of action rather than words, particularly when dealing with someone from the Li Family, Han Xiaoxing was filled with killing intent.
Once Han Xiaoxing engaged, Qing Jianzi naturally wasn’t idle. He unsheathed his sword and attacked Li Songwen from the side.
Li Songwen’s face was extremely grim as he drew out a long spear to fight back against Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi.
One against two!
But it quickly became apparent that while Li Songwen was indeed powerful, Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi were by no means weaker.
Just one of them was a match for Li Songwen, let alone the two of them together.
The long spear in Li Songwen’s hands moved quickly and forcefully, creating a defence that seemed impenetrable, constantly blocking the assault from Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi.
But it didn’t take long for Han Xiaoxing to shatter the spear into two pieces with a punch. Qing Jianzi seized the opportunity and launched an attack as fast as a gale, aiming a swiping strike at Li Songwen.
Despite his quick reflexes, Li Songwen was still wounded by the blow and a gash appeared on his side.
After the successful attack, Qing Jianzi didn’t hesitate to strike again. His sword, like a cunning venomous snake, continuously aimed at Li Songwen’s vital areas.
Qing Jianzi’s sword was faster than what Fang Lin could do. The unnamed sixteen sword moves Fang Lin used were learnt from a sword manual, naturally Qing Jianzi would be more proficient in using them.
Li Songwen continued to dodge, cursing internally.
Qing Jianzi’s sword was too fast; there was virtually no pause between the strikes, which made it difficult for Li Songwen to find an opportunity to counterattack.
What was worse, Han Xiaoxing was always ready to deliver a fatal blow to Li Songwen.
Li Songwen felt overwhelmed. It was hard enough to match Qing Jianzi, let alone when a more formidable Han Xiaoxing was included. He wasn’t a match for them.
Knowing that he was at a disadvantage and still insisting on fighting was not bravery, but foolishness.
Li Songwen was no fool. Seeing the situation was dire, and realizing he couldn’t handle both Han Xiaoxing and Qing Jianzi, he made a move to buy time and then turned to run.
He had no choice but to run; otherwise, he wouldn’t last much longer.
Although Li Songwen couldn’t beat them, he was quick on his feet. Qing Jianzi didn’t pursue, but Han Xiaoxing began to chase after him immediately.
Han Xiaoxing was even faster than Li Songwen. Fang Lin was somewhat surprised seeing this from a distance. Even though Han Xiaoxing was blind, her strength was indeed extraordinary.
While Li Songwen was fleeing for his life, he saw that Han Xiaoxing was on his tail and nearly cursed in frustration.
“Do you think I won’t be able to deal with you?” Li Songwen roared with rage.
Han Xiaoxing was expressionless, announcing, “I said you’re going to die, and die you will!”
Li Songwen was almost driven mad. How did he end up dealing with such a lunatic?
Meanwhile, as Han Xiaoxing chased after Li Songwen, Qing Jianzi returned to Fang Lin’s side. He was just about to speak when his expression changed abruptly, and he launched a sudden attack towards someone behind Fang Lin.
Fang Lin was startled, misinterpreting that Qing Jianzi was trying to hit him.
It was only when he heard a swooshing sound behind him that he realized someone else was also approaching, and it seemed like they bore ill intentions.
Fang Lin quickly moved aside and turned around. The man who had appeared was a middle-aged man, his face filled with undisguised killing intent.
Fang Lin did not recognize this man, but Qing Jianzi appeared to do so. He forced the man to retreat with a single strike, then didn’t make any further move.
“Elder Wang, so it’s you!” Qing Jianzi declared coldly.
The so-called Elder Wang was none other than Wang Tianmu, the father of Wang Xuanlong who had discreetly left the Martial Sect to kill Fang Lin.
At first, Fang Lin had no idea who this man was, but once he heard ‘Elder
Wang’, he almost immediately guessed that this man must be here for Wang Xuanlong and was likely Wang Xuanlong’s father who was also an elder in the Martial Sect.
Wang Tianmu’s expression was also unpleasant. He had not expected to encounter Qing Jianzi here. He initially intended to take advantage of Qing Jianzi’s distraction to kill Fang Lin, but his plan had failed.
Wang Tianmu was well aware that his act of attempting to kill Fang Lin couldn’t be brought to light. With Qing Jianzi present, if he killed Fang Lin, Qing Jianzi would not cover it up for him.
After all, Qing Jianzi was notorious for being a righteous figure. He and Wang Tianmu didn’t share any amicable relationship anyway.
The only other option would be to eliminate Qing Jianzi as well.
But Wang Tianmu was fully aware of Qing Jianzi’s formidable power. Even though he was an elder, he was uncertain whether he could handle him.
After weighing his options, Wang Tianmu had made up his mind. With Qing Jianzi present, Fang Lin couldn’t be killed.
“Qing Jianzi, why are you here?” Wang Tianmu was the first to ask.
Qing Jianzi sneered in response, “I am here, naturally, because of Elder Wang..”
