Chapter 61 - You Also Have to Die
“What? You actually dared to kill Young Master Lin?! You’re dead, you know that? Young Master Lin’s family won’t let you off. They will find you wherever you are and kill you!”
The woman froze in place, dumbfounded, as she saw Lin Ba’s head, which had burst like a watermelon.
She never expected Chen Fan to actually have the audacity to kill Lin Ba.
Was he not even the slightest bit afraid of the Watermoon City’s Lin Clan?
“Shut your mouth. If another word comes out of it, I’ll kill you too!”
Chen Fan shot an icy cold stare over, making her face lose all color from fear, trembling uncontrollably.
Chchch.
Chen Fan wasn’t someone with a soft, merciful heart.
He swung the Killing Wind repeatedly, unleashing streaks of incredibly sharp sword qi that fell upon the heavily injured servants, killing them.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a swift and fierce sword light flew in from afar. In the blink of an eye, it struck the woman, cleaving her in two before she even realized what had happened.
The sword light’s momentum didn’t dissipate, and it continued darting toward Chen Fan.
“Hmph!”
Surprised by this sudden turn of events, Chen Fan's face darkened as he punched, obliterating the sword light into fragments.
He raised his head and looked to the distance.
Four silhouettes swiftly darted over and arrived at the scene quickly.
“Floating Cloud Sword Sect!”
Qin Yao's eyes narrowed as she recognized the attire of the four individuals.
Chen Fan's emotions also stirred, realizing that the four were disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect.
“What is the meaning of this?” Chen Fan asked with a low voice, his expression stern.
The earlier sword attack was clearly aimed at his life.
Had he not been strong enough, that sword light would have taken his life after cutting that woman in half.
The leader, Wang Tengfei, looked at Chen Fan disdainfully, not uttering a word as if Chen Fan wasn't worthy of speaking to him.
The youth in the golden robe smiled coldly and said, "Kid, since you know we're disciples of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, you should also know that we are far superior to a group of trash like Lin Ba's followers.
“Die!”
Chen Fan leaped up, instantly giving chase. His expression was cold and ruthless.
Killing Wind Sword gleamed with a chilling light, accompanied by thunderous claps.
A swathe of lightning clouds about a hundred feet wide gathered above Jin Guanglie. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Bolts of lightning transformed into sword lights, striking down with precision.
“Sword Light Shivers Nineteen States...” [1]
As Jin Guanglie unleashed his ultimate move, his sword emanated a burst of light.
Streaks of sword qi shot out, slicing the space. As Jin Guanglie raised his arm, an incomparably swift and fierce sword light darted forward, growing as thick as a water bucket.
The man and woman's unease turned into cold smiles upon witnessing Jin Guanglie's execution of the Sword Light Shivers Nineteen States.
“This brat actually forced Senior Brother Jin Guanglie to use Sword Light Shivers Nineteen States. He does have some strength. No wonder he killed Lin Ba’s group so easily alone,” said the woman.
“That’s right, but that’s all he amounts to. With Senior Brother Jin Guanglie using this move, he’s dead without a doubt!” the other youth said with a cold smile.
Wang Tengfei remained silent, his expression calm as ever, seemingly disinterested in the unfolding events.
“Little bastard, you should be proud of yourself for making me use this move to kill you,” Jin Guanglie said coldly.
A dazzling sword light shot out, piercing the thunderclouds. Streaks of sword light descended from the clouds, cutting through the air and illuminating the surroundings.
However...
“Die!”
A voice, like the call of a grim reaper, rang out.
The sword light that had rushed into the thunderclouds was instantly obliterated. Simultaneously, a purple streak of lightning struck down like a dragon, engulfing the heavens and earth.
“Hmm?”
Wang Tengfei's expressionless face suddenly revealed a hint of dread as he witnessed the purple lightning dragon about to consume Jin Guanglie. With a swift swing of his arm, his long sword flew out of its sheath, unleashing a terrifying sword light aimed at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's expression shifted as he redirected his strike, intercepting the slash from Wang Tengfei.
With a loud rumble, the two sword lights exploded. The resulting shockwave rippled through Jin Guanglie, riddling him with bloody, nasty holes. His miserable screams rang continuously.
Chen Fan was forced to retreat, but he quickly recovered and flicked his fingers. A streak of primeval qi, as sharp as a sword, shot out, targeting Jin Guanglie.
“You’re courting death!”
Wang Tengfei moved. He spread out his fingers, and his primeval qi turned into a large net, enveloping Jin Guanglie and pulling him back.
However, he was one step too late. A bloody hole appeared between Jin Guanglie’s eyebrows. He was already dead.
