The Demise of the Blood Wolf Gang

Facing Yue Shan's all-out strike, Lin Fan showed not the slightest fear.

He stepped through the air, ascending toward the heavens.

Streaks of golden runes surged out from the Jade Talisman and condensed in the void into a light sword made of countless golden talismans, dazzling beyond compare!

"Rise, sword!"

Lin Fan reached out with a crystal-clear palm and grasped the Golden Divine Sword.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the divine sword's radiance swelled, stretching several yards long as it flickered in the void, pulling out streak after streak of brilliant sword light.

"What a terrifying attack!"

The moment the True Martial Dharma Sword appeared, Yue Shan immediately felt a life-and-death crisis.

"That old thief misled me!"

Yue Shan shot the Bloodcloth Sect's elder consecrator a cold glance and gritted out, "Blood Transformation Return Origin Skill!"

"Hiss, hiss!"

In a flash, streams of blood-red mist continuously erupted from Yue Shan's body.

Then the blood mist drew back, condensing into a thin layer of blood shackles over the surface of his body.

All these changes happened in an instant.

As soon as the blood shackles condensed, Yue Shan's aura began to climb rapidly!

However, this rise was not endless.

At this moment, although Yue Shan's aura failed to break through to the Form Creation Realm, it was infinitely close.

"Die for me!"

With his cultivation soaring, the power of Yue Shan's attack naturally soared as well.

The mountain shape that had originally only faintly appeared had now transformed into a small mountain.

Even someone at Essence Core Realm Great Perfection would have to avoid this strike; only a true Form Creation Realm expert could withstand it.

But Lin Fan's expression still did not change.

Holding the True Martial Dharma Sword, he gave it a light swing and calmly spat out three words.

"Severing Mountains and Rivers!"

A golden line, like a long blade cutting through water, easily cleaved apart the mountain shape.

Then, under Yue Shan's horrified gaze, it split the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang—one of Flame City's three great powers—cleanly in two.

Sky Stepping Nine Steps, one sword to slay the enemy!

"Hiss!"

This scene made the sound of people sucking in cold breaths ring out all around.

The entire place was as dead silent, with nothing but the sound of sharp intakes of breath. There was no other noise at all; everyone stood frozen in silence, their expressions drastically changed.

"Even Yue Shan couldn't withstand a single blow from him!"

The Bloodcloth Sect consecrator swallowed hard, then greased his soles and prepared to sneak away.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fan had been watching him all along. With a thought, two Handleless Sword Edges tore through the air and lopped off his head.

"He killed an Essence Core Realm expert in one strike—is he even human?"

The surrounding onlookers were instantly stunned.

"It's over, it's all over!"

As for the Blood Wolf Gang members, their eyes held no will to fight at all.

Even Yue Shan, who had used the Blood Transformation Return Origin Skill, was dead. How could they possibly be a match for him?

"Rumble!"

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and numerous black-armored guards could be seen riding horses toward this place.

"It's the City Lord's Mansion guards!"

After seeing the City Lord's Mansion guards, the deputy leader of the Blood Wolf Gang immediately ran forward and shouted, "My lord, this man killed our Blood Wolf Gang leader in the street and slaughtered the Bloodcloth Sect! We beg the City Lord's Mansion to uphold justice for us!"

"We beg the City Lord's Mansion to uphold justice for us!"

Under the threat of death, the Blood Wolf Gang members, who had never paid much regard to the City Lord's Mansion in the past, all knelt and shouted.

At this moment, a figure clad in black armor rode out on horseback and arrived before Lin Fan and the crowd.

This figure was rather slender, and even in black armor appeared exceptionally slim. One could tell at a glance that beneath that black armor there was surely a graceful and moving delicate body.

The slender black-armored figure came closer, stretched out a long, jade-like hand, and gently removed her faceplate, revealing a pretty face as cold as frost.

When that pretty face saw Lin Fan, a faint smile could not help appearing on it, and she asked, "Little brother Lin Fan, is that so?"

Looking at that familiar, cold, pretty face, Lin Fan hurriedly said, "Sister Zi Yue, the Bloodcloth Sect was clearly trying to seize my Lin Family's mine, and the Blood Wolf Gang tried to silence me first. Everything I did was only to resist!"

"The Blood Wolf Gang is finished!"

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, there was no need to say which side the City Lord's Mansion would stand on.

At that moment, the sliver of hope the members of the Blood Wolf Gang had just kindled was snuffed out just like that.

"Men, take down the Blood Wolf Gang!"

With a wave of her slender hand, Zi Yue issued the order.

"As you command!"

As her words fell, the black-armored warriors drew their weapons one after another and surrounded the members of the Blood Wolf Gang.

In response, not a single member of the Blood Wolf Gang resisted.

After all, among these black-armored warriors, there were two fighters at the Essence Core Realm Small Perfection, and as many as four Lesser Essence Core Realm fighters.

By contrast, the Blood Wolf Gang had only one Essence Core Realm Small Perfection and two Lesser Essence Core Realm fighters.

Even if the Bloodcloth Sect's retainers were added in, they were still far from being a match for the warriors of the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, if they were captured by the City Lord's Mansion, they might not necessarily die. But if they dared resist, then death was certain.

It had to be said that although the City Lord's Mansion kept a low profile, it was worthy of being the number one faction in Flame City, with many powerful experts under its command.

Zi Yue dismounted and walked gracefully to Lin Fan's side.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Fan as she said with a rather emotional sigh, "I never thought you had hidden yourself so deeply. Even Yue Shan, who was at the Essence Core Realm Great Perfection, was slain by you!"

Originally, Zi Yue had looked down somewhat on Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Especially Lin Fan. He had actually rejected her master, which in her eyes simply made him the greatest fool in the world.

But who would have thought that Lin Fan's strength was actually so terrifying?

Since Lin Fan could even slay Yue Shan, his combat strength was probably second only to her father's in all of Flame City.

Most importantly, Lin Fan was even younger than her, yet his achievements were far beyond anything she could compare to.

With such strength, no wonder he had not taken Master Yan as his teacher.

Lin Fan gave a wry smile and said, "I'm not like you, Sister Zi Yue, with such a powerful background. If I exposed myself before growing strong enough, I'd probably have been killed long ago."

"Now, you've already shocked everyone with a single feat."

Zi Yue said, "In the current Flame City, I'm afraid no one will dare make a move against the Lin Family again."

"Not in Flame City, perhaps. But that doesn't mean there's no one outside Flame City. This world is very vast, after all!"

Lin Fan shook his head.

Not to mention anything distant, Lin Langtian of the Lin Clan had a rather poor relationship with Lin Dong's family.

Since he and Qing Tan had become lovers, Lin Dong's family matters naturally became his matters as well.

Right now, Lin Langtian was someone of the Creation Three Realms, and Lin Fan was still far inferior to him.

Beyond the Great Yan Dynasty, he would also encounter many enemies, even the Deviant Demons and the Outer Realm Evil Clan that sought to destroy the world.

Zi Yue's eyes shifted as she asked curiously, "Your Spiritual Power didn't seem weak just now either. How did you cultivate so quickly?"

"That is a secret."

Lin Fan spoke calmly.

Although she was a beauty, she was not his lover, so he naturally would not tell her about the Ancient Vortex Talisman.

Zi Yue sighed softly and said, "You fellow, sometimes I even wonder if there's an old monster inside your body!"

"Haha!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "No matter what, I have to thank you for today. If you ever need anything in the future, I definitely won't refuse."
