"Whoosh!"
Xiao Fan moved at incredible speed, as though he had teleported!
Lin Lianshen narrowed his eyes, secretly startled. Xiao Fan did have some strength!
"Fire Transformation!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Fan passed through Lin Lianshen's body, and a muffled sound rang out!
After landing, Xiao Fan spun around. Like Lin Xianhuo, he looked somewhat shocked.
Although he had passed through his opponent's flesh, Lin Lianshen was completely unharmed, because he had turned that part of his body into flames!
Xiao Fan had done nothing more than jump through a hoop of fire. Now, the flames on Lin Lianshen's body dispersed, and his flesh was restored!
"What was that?" Xiao Fan's expression turned somewhat grim.
Lin Xianhuo cried out, "Big brother! You even learned that move!?"
Lin Lianshen snorted. "If you were willing to work a little harder, you wouldn't be far behind!"
"Oh, come on, big brother. Look, my cultivation realm is about the same as yours now!" Lin Xianhuo curled her lip.
"Oh, so you do have something going for you!" Lin Lianshen was still disdainful.
"Stop arguing. I need to give your little lover a good beating first!"
"Oh, come on, he's not my little lover! He's my man!" Lin Xianhuo snorted.
"Tch!" Lin Lianshen snorted and looked at Xiao Fan. "You dare pick up my sister?"
"You've got some nerve!"
But Xiao Fan seemed not to hear him. Frowning, he asked, "If your flames came into contact with lightning, would they explode?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Lianshen's expression changed slightly.
"This!" Xiao Fan grinned, and the sound of wind and thunder arose around him, circling him without end.
"Well, would they? Since you're my brother-in-law, I thought I'd ask first. It wouldn't look good if I blew you to death!"
Lin Lianshen snorted. "Who the fuck is your brother-in-law?!"
"Lightning elemental power that weak can't blow me up!"
"Then let's try it." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan's figure flashed forward!
"Whoosh!"
Lin Lianshen abruptly raised both hands. "Fire Emperor: Defense!"
The ring of fire that followed him like a shadow suddenly rose, turning into a flaming shield that kept Xiao Fan outside!
Then, facing the oncoming Xiao Fan, he raised a hand and unleashed another fire fist!
Xiao Fan frowned slightly. Good grief, you could fight like that?
How was that any different from a tank? Attacks from outside couldn't reach inside, but attacks from inside could reach outside!
The pillar of fire instantly burned away the surrounding grass. Xiao Fan activated the Demon Man Scripture and drifted into a turn while moving!
Then he gathered all his lightning elemental power and slammed a fist at the shield!
"Boom!"
An explosion rang out, and Lin Lianshen, inside the shield, burst into curses. "Are you fucking crazy?"
"You really dared to try it?"
But unexpectedly, Lin Lianshen had been caught in the blast, while Xiao Fan had not. No, to be precise, Xiao Fan had also been blasted black with soot, but he was still charging forward, the lightning elemental power in his hand undiminished. It had already reached a point one centimeter from Lin Lianshen's forehead!
In that exchange, Xiao Fan broke through the defense and advanced five steps!
Lin Lianshen's defense was destroyed, and he retreated three steps!
"My man's amazing, isn't he!?" Lin Xianhuo smiled smugly, hopped over to Xiao Fan, and even took out a wet wipe to clean the dust from his face.
Lin Lianshen's face was as black as could be. "Don't think you've won. If we were really fighting to the death..."
Suddenly, Lin Xianhuo interrupted her brother and turned to him, saying seriously, "If you were really fighting to the death, big brother, you'd already be dead."
"Bullshit!" Lin Lianshen cursed angrily. "I've been through hell-level training too!"
But Lin Xianhuo calmly pointed at Beast Mountain behind them. "My man grew up in there."
"He goes through hell-level training every single day!"
"You, you, you! All you do is speak up for your little lover!" Lin Lianshen was furious, his chest heaving!
But inwardly, he really had been shaken.
Just now, Xiao Fan had first managed to change direction in midair without slowing down. Then he had used his lightning element to strike Lin Lianshen's fire element without the slightest hesitation, and had not retreated even when it caused an explosion!
One look at his soot-covered face was enough to tell that he had definitely been hurt!
And when he was hurt, his instinct had been to advance, while Lin Lianshen's own instinct had been to retreat!
Moreover, Xiao Fan had perfect control, stopping just before he could hurt Lin Lianshen!
"All right, Lord King Star God really does have a good eye." Lin Lianshen sighed, though his face still showed he was unconvinced.
Xiao Fan smiled. "Did my big brother send you?"
That was right, Xiao Fan was just that shameless. He had gone straight to calling him big brother. With such a big thigh to cling to, he'd be a fool not to, wouldn't he?
"Your big brother?" Lin Lianshen snorted. "No, my father sent me!"
"Back then, Father saw you fight using all three powers together, and I wanted to come find you and see how things stood."
"But Father insisted on saying..."
"What did he say?" Lin Xianhuo knitted her brows.
Lin Lianshen said calmly, "Father said you take after him. If he called you back, you'd definitely become even more rebellious, so he decided to let you go on making trouble out here."
"But Mother sent me to find you behind his back. She was worried it wasn't safe for a little woman like you to be out here alone!"
"As it happened, Lord King Star God called Father and said you'd found yourself a man, and that he was quite strong, so Father sent me to take a look!"
Hearing this, Lin Xianhuo was shocked. "Father... really said that?"
"He's really letting me make my own way out here?"
Lin Lianshen said calmly, "Father has always preferred to let us roam free. After all, he likes having fun himself. Why would he want to stay home every day keeping an eye on a little girl like you? It's just that Mother wouldn't let him."
"Otherwise, how do you think you managed to run away from the Lin residence?"
"I..." Lin Xianhuo frowned. "I'm clever!"
Lin Lianshen said contemptuously, "Oh, give it a rest. Father's a Martial God, at the very least. You think he'd let a Martial Artist like you escape? If that were true, how could he show his face once word got out?"
"You have no idea what it means to be a Martial God!"
Lin Xianhuo pursed her lips, couldn't be bothered to argue with her brother, and turned to take Xiao Fan's arm.
"Let go!" Lin Lianshen snorted.
"No!" Lin Xianhuo shook her head.
Lin Lianshen frowned and looked at Xiao Fan. Wearing an innocent expression, Xiao Fan said, "I'm not holding her hand. She's holding mine!"
"It's not my fault!"
"You!" Lin Lianshen's face turned livid. "You're playing with fire! Have you and my sister... done that yet?"
"Done what?" Xiao Fan frowned, looking bewildered.
"What else? That!" Lin Lianshen was furious. Do I have to demonstrate it for him?
But Xiao Fan looked utterly lost. "I don't know what you mean by this or that.
"Really? You don't know?" Lin Lianshen looked confused.
At that, Lin Xianhuo sighed. "Fanfan lived in Beast Mountain from a young age to get stronger. Even his communication equipment was crude. How would he know what you're talking about?"
Hearing that, even Xiao Fan was stunned. They really were birds of a feather!
He still remembered that when he first met Xianhuo, she hadn't been like this!
Was this called... a wife following her husband's lead?
In the end, Lin Lianshen actually believed it. He said calmly, "Forget it, then. I misunderstood you."
"I'll be staying with you two for the next few days."
Lin Xianhuo's expression instantly soured. "Brother, stop fooling around!"
"Who's fooling around?" Lin Lianshen snorted. "I can't be bothered to care what you two do."
"The point is, the Fire and Flame Mystic Realm opens in a month. We're going together."
With that, Lin Lianshen looked at Xiao Fan and said calmly, "Father said that if you can help little sister advance her Fire God Saber and get into the Super God Class, then you can get married as soon as you graduate!"
"Oh, right, you know what the Fire and Flame Mystic Realm is, don't you?"
Xiao Fan frowned. "I do."
It was a fire-element mystic realm that spawned all kinds of flame monsters and contained many powerful flames that fire-element cultivators could study and absorb.
In short, it was paradise for people like Xianhuo and Lin Lianshen, who specialized in fire!
What surprised Xiao Fan was that Xianhuo's father was so easy to talk to?
So straightforward?
He was just giving his daughter away in marriage like that?
