Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Nangong Jing Captured

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Zhang Hua suddenly burst out into booming laughter.

Immediately afterwards, an earth-shattering aura emerged abruptly from Zhang Hua’s body, and upon its appearance, it directly broke through Lin Fan’s Array.

Nangong Jing’s Longsword suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Hua, Nangong Jing was unable to move it at all despite exerting her full strength.

"Damn it, this Zhang Hua is so cunning?"

Lin Fan finally made his move.

Lin Fan knew very well that if he didn’t act now, Nangong Jing would surely be in danger.

However, Lin Fan was still a step too late.

"Stop right there!"

At that moment, Zhang Hua suddenly shouted, it turned out that he had gained control over Nangong Jing, and at some point, a short knife appeared in his hand, placed directly against Nangong Jing’s neck.

Zhang Hua’s short knife was razor-sharp, capable of slicing through hair with ease.

With just a light movement, it could slit Nangong Jing’s throat.

Once that happened, Nangong Jing would undoubtedly die.

Lin Fan’s speed was fast, but not faster than the stroke of Zhang Hua’s short knife.

Lin Fan stopped.

Under these circumstances, Lin Fan naturally did not dare to advance.

Because if Lin Fan continued to advance, it would only harm Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing fiercely said, "You son of a bitch, utterly shameless to the extreme!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Hua laughed loud and coldly said, "If I wasn’t a bit shameless, wouldn’t I have been killed by you all?"

Saying this, Zhang Hua sneered twice more and continued, "Nangong Jing, I can’t have Li Rou, but obtaining you is not bad either. From now on, just peacefully be my woman, hahaha!"

Nangong Jing became extremely angry and shouted loudly, "Zhang Hua, keep dreaming, you think you, a toad, can covet me?"

Zhang Hua said, "Today, you are under my control, it’s no longer up to you."

After that, Zhang Hua turned to look at Lin Fan and said with a sneer, "All of you, listen up, if you don’t want Nangong Jing to die, retreat immediately, or else I will kill her right away!"

The others didn’t speak.

Because in their hearts there was no way to save Nangong Jing, so naturally, they didn’t dare speak out of fear that doing so would enrage Zhang Hua.

Only Lin Fan remained calm, looking at Zhang Hua and said indifferently, "I advise you, it’s best to let go of Nangong Jing!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Hua laughed again and said loudly, "Lin Fan, I must say, you are really too naïve. Do you think, under these circumstances, I would let her go? Besides, in this situation, even if I let go of Nangong Jing, would you let me off?"

Lin Fan immediately said, "I promise, as long as you let go of Nangong Jing, I absolutely won’t kill you. I will let you leave."

Zhang Hua shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can’t trust you, I only trust the knife in my hand."

After speaking, the short knife in Zhang Hua’s hand moved slightly, and immediately, blood began to flow from Nangong Jing’s neck.

"Stop!"

Lin Fan shouted loudly.

Zhang Hua, with a ferocious expression, said, "I’m someone with limited patience. I’ll give you all five breaths’ time to retreat immediately. Otherwise, we’ll all go down together!"

While speaking, all of Zhang Hua’s attention was fixed on Lin Fan.

In fact, deep down, Zhang Hua was still very wary of Lin Fan; he feared Lin Fan might suddenly attack.

It was for this reason that Zhang Hua paid so much attention to Lin Fan.

And because Zhang Hua’s attention was all on Lin Fan, Lin Fan didn’t even have a chance to attack.

Lin Fan just looked at Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua felt increasingly uneasy under Lin Fan’s gaze.

"I’ll say it one more time, retreat now, or I’ll be forced to make a move!"

Zhang Hua roared loudly again.

His expression grew even more ferocious.

It was clear that Zhang Hua was truly prepared to strike.

"Hold on!"

Lin Fan spoke again: "As long as you don’t hurt her, we will retreat immediately!"

Seeing Lin Fan agree to Zhang Hua’s terms, Li Rou loudly protested: "Lin Fan, we must not retreat. If we do, Nangong Jing, once in Zhang Hua’s hands, will lead a fate worse than death. We must find a way to rescue her!"

Others also chimed in: "Yes, we can’t retreat!"

Zhang Hua raised his voice again: "If you do not retreat, you will only be able to take away Nangong Jing’s corpse."

Lin Fan waved his hand at Zhang Hua and then loudly said to everyone: "Listen to me, everyone, retreat now!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan began to retreat.

However, unnoticed by anyone, as Lin Fan retreated, he discreetly dropped several Golden Needles onto the ground.

Lin Fan’s movements were so secret that no one would discover them.

Seeing Lin Fan retreat, the others had no choice but to follow suit under the circumstances.

Nangong Jing remained silent.

But tears appeared in Nangong Jing’s eyes.

At that moment, her heart was filled with immense hatred.

She hated her own carelessness, regretting her impulsive actions just now.

Nevertheless, Nangong Jing knew that her life was over.

Falling into Zhang Hua’s hands, as Li Rou had previously said, would certainly be a living hell.

Eventually, Lin Fan and the others had retreated a good distance.

"Is this far enough now?" Lin Fan asked.

Seeing Lin Fan and the others retreat so far, Zhang Hua figured that even if they were to attempt a surprise attack, he had enough energy to handle it.

Therefore, Zhang Hua let out a slight sigh of relief.

Still, Zhang Hua did not dare lower his guard and continued to demand loudly: "Not enough, all of you retreat immediately, better still, disappear from my sight!"

"Retreat quickly, I’m warning you, don’t even think about playing tricks, otherwise, Nangong Jing will instantly lie dead right here!"

While speaking, Zhang Hua slightly shifted his stance.

After all, he had been maintaining the same position until now and coupled with the high tension, he was feeling quite exhausted.

However...

What Zhang Hua could have never expected was that this small shift in his stance sealed his fate.

"Now!"

At the instant Zhang Hua changed his posture, Lin Fan’s mind stirred, and he mobilized the power of his Intent Realm combining his willpower and the Flame Dragon Spear Intent. It fully activated the scattered Golden Needles.

These Golden Needles seemed to come alive!

They pierced through the void with unstoppable force, rapidly reaching in front of Zhang Hua.

Had Zhang Hua been on guard, these needles might not have been able to harm him, but the problem was that his guard was at its lowest. Thus, caught off-guard by the arrival of the needles, Zhang Hua was unable to react in time.

By the time Zhang Hua finally perceived the danger, it was already too late.

Pupu pupu...

The Golden Needles, without a hint of suspense, pierced into Zhang Hua’s body.

Immediately, Zhang Hua’s reactions slowed down, and his Physical Energy was completely sealed by the Golden Needles.
