Instant Kill! Merit Points Acquired!

"So easy to guess."

Lin Fan didn't stop his advance; instead, he accelerated again!

Heading straight for the Flower Demon amidst the sea of red dots!

"Idiot, blinded by my poisonous pollen, and you still won't die?!"

The Flower Demon's face lit up with joy, but before it could finish laughing, its expression froze!

A Calming Heart Talisman lit up on Lin Fan's chest!

The poisonous pollen filling the air was actually dispersed!

Swish!

A sharp sword strike descended from the air!

"Get lost!"

The Flower Demon's face grew serious, and it fully activated its aura to block the attack!

Bang!

Auras collided, exploding into swirling streams of energy!

"Let's see how you dodge at this close range!"

The Flower Demon blocked Lin Fan's sword strike and was instantly delighted!

Streams of demonic energy swirled, reactivating the poisonous pollen and aiming directly at Lin Fan!

Does this kid have a second Calming Heart Talisman?

Even if he does, at this practically point-blank range, he won't have time to activate it!

Sizzle!

A rumbling thunderous sound arose!

The Flower Demon's pupils widened, and it saw blinding lightning before its eyes!

"Go!"

Lin Fan raised his sword finger, and the condensed lightning surged forward!

"The Five Thunders Spell of the Houtian Seventh Heaven couldn't even break through my poisonous pollen!"

The Flower Demon's face contorted as it retreated, roaring in anger!

All its aura condensed, gathering the poisonous pollen to block in front of it!

Bang!

A muffled sound was heard!

The pollen filling the air instantly dissipated!

Purple lightning enveloped the Flower Demon, consuming it!

"Purp-, purple lightning?! No! Impossible! How could you, at the Houtian Seventh Heaven..."

The Flower Demon trembled all over, staring at Lin Fan in disbelief.

The next moment, the lightning finished its consumption!

It dissipated like a gentle breeze, swaying and vanishing.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for killing the Flower Demon, rewarding 50 Merit Points]

A system reminder sounded in his mind.

Lin Fan's heart rejoiced. Killing a Black Zombie only gave 10 points, but this Flower Demon gave a full fifty Merit Points!

This little Flower Demon was truly valuable!

This time, the Flower Demon was careless, startling him right at the door.

It thought it could easily handle him because its realm was two levels higher.

This allowed him to prepare in advance and take it down easily.

If it had been like tonight, hiding in the flowers and launching a surprise attack...

He would still need to find his Master and learn some detection-type Daoist arts later.

"..."

Ren Tingting, standing behind, stared blankly at Lin Fan's retreating figure.

Her previous unease and fear had completely vanished.

The Lin Fan before her was like a towering mountain, exuding a sense of security.

"Pour some tea, thank you."

Lin Fan withdrew his thoughts, calmly sat back down, and gestured to Ren Tingting.

"Drink..."

Ren Tingting was startled by the sound and couldn't help but chuckle.

What kind of person is this Lin Fan? He just went through a major battle, yet he's acting completely fine.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Fan asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing."

Ren Tingting quickly picked up the purple clay teacup she had just poured and handed it to Lin Fan.

The tea in the cup was still scalding hot.

Deep into the night.

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng sat in the main hall of the Ren family, both faces filled with contentment.

"The Ren family is so rich. We were about to go to sleep, and then we got these delicious treats."

Wen Cai said with a smile, gnawing on a large chicken leg.

"Stop chattering. If you attract the Senior Disciple Brother, you'll have to share some with him,"

Qiu Sheng reprimanded, lowering his voice.

"That's not right. Didn't Senior Disciple Brother go to escort Miss Ren back to her room? Why is he taking so long?"

Wen Cai frowned, a sense of unease creeping in.

The two exchanged a look!

Qiu Sheng immediately slammed the table and said indignantly, "Could Senior Disciple Brother be trying to take advantage of Miss Ren and do something improper?"

As soon as he finished speaking!

A figure suddenly darted out from a side room!

"Who?!"

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were startled and quickly jumped up.

They saw Uncle Jiu, his face stern, standing before them!

"M-Master, it was Old Master Ren who insisted on giving us food!"

Wen Cai held up the bare chicken leg bone, looking embarrassed.

"You still have the appetite to eat? Haven't you sensed the demonic energy?"

Uncle Jiu reprimanded, his expression displeased.

"Demonic..."

Qiu Sheng heard this, looked around, and sensed.

He indeed vaguely felt a trace of demonic energy drifting faintly in the air.

"Stop wasting time, let's go!"

Uncle Jiu flicked his hand and rushed out of the hall.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai quickly followed.

"Over there, Miss Ren's residence?"

Uncle Jiu emerged outside and immediately pointed to the large courtyard on the right.

"Miss Ren..." Wen Cai stammered, exclaiming, "Senior Disciple Brother must have gone to take Miss Ren back to her room and hasn't returned yet!"

"This is bad!"

Uncle Jiu's head throbbed at the words!

Could Lin Fan be in trouble?

"Master, wait for me!"

Qiu Sheng was startled as Uncle Jiu shot off like a cannonball towards Ren Tingting's room!

He quickly grabbed Wen Cai and rushed after him!

The group charged straight into the large courtyard.

Instantly, they felt a strong demonic energy swirling in the air!

"This, this must be the aura of someone at the ninth level of the Houtian Realm, right?"

Wen Cai's body trembled slightly, feeling terrified.

"It's so quiet... Could Senior Disciple Brother have..."

Qiu Sheng scanned the entire courtyard. The surroundings were deathly silent, which was incredibly eerie.

It was clearly over!

"Shut up!"

Uncle Jiu reprimanded!

Sensing the intense aura, his brows were already tightly furrowed with anxiety.

He rushed towards Ren Tingting's room without stopping!

Bang!

A sound of explosion was heard!

Uncle Jiu kicked open Ren Tingting's room door with a bang!

Instantly!

Uncle Jiu froze at the doorway, staring blankly ahead.

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng stepped forward together and were also stunned.

The three of them looked uniformly into the room and saw Ren Tingting and Lin Fan leisurely brewing tea and chatting.

Where was the danger or the great battle?!

"What's going on?"

Wen Cai scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face.

"What's going on?"

Ren Tingting was even more bewildered. She looked at Uncle Jiu and the other two, frowning slightly. "Why did you suddenly kick down the door..."

"Sorry, it was a misunderstanding."

Uncle Jiu felt awkward and nodded slightly at Ren Tingting.

"Misunderstanding?"

Ren Tingting was even more confused.

Qiu Sheng hesitated, "Senior Disciple Brother, Master said there was demonic energy here. Where's the demon?"

"Oh! You're talking about that Flower Demon?" Ren Tingting suddenly realized and chuckled, "Little Daoist Lin already dealt with it!"

"What?!"

Wen Cai was startled upon hearing this. "That's a Houtian Ninth Heaven demon!"

"Isn't Senior Disciple Brother only at Houtian Seventh Heaven?"

Qiu Sheng was equally confused, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"Miss Ren, please get some rest."

Lin Fan didn't rush to answer. He got up and nodded slightly at Ren Tingting.

He then led the three of them out and closed Ren Tingting's room door.

Only then did Uncle Jiu slowly speak, his voice filled with surprise, "Lin Fan, what exactly happened?"

"Nothing much, I just dealt with it. I used the Five Thunders Spell a little."

Lin Fan shrugged, his expression calm.

"This..."

Uncle Jiu was instantly speechless, unable to ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

Lin Fan was at Houtian Seventh Heaven, while the Flower Demon was at Houtian Ninth Heaven, two whole levels higher.

And he dealt with it so casually?

This kid Lin Fan was outrageously monstrous!

"He must have sensed it wrong. Senior Disciple Brother is bragging!"

Seeing this, Wen Cai refused to believe it.

"What do you know?" Uncle Jiu, seeing the greasy chicken fat still on Wen Cai's mouth, was furious and reprimanded, "Your Senior Disciple Brother didn't just kill a Houtian Ninth Heaven demon. That Flower Demon was at the peak of Ninth Heaven, almost half a step into Xiantian Realm!"
