Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Lin Fan Loses

"What exactly is going on?"

Fang Qianqu’s heart began to feel uneasy.

His intuition told him that something must have happened to the Poison Sect; otherwise, it was impossible that the sect’s experts had not arrived after three days.

"What on earth could have happened?"

Afterward, Fang Qianqu started to contact the Poison Sect expert he had communicated with before.

What he didn’t expect was that he could no longer reach that expert.

This made Fang Qianqu feel even more anxious.

Until the next day, Fang Qianqu finally learned the truth. News came that overnight, many of the Poison Sect’s strongholds in the Barbarian wilderness had been destroyed by a mysterious master, resulting in massive losses for the sect.

Moreover, the mysterious master announced that if the Poison Sect dared to target the Lin Family again, that master would personally attack the Poison Sect’s headquarters and destroy even more of their strongholds without any hesitation.

That mysterious master was incredibly arrogant!

Nevertheless, the Poison Sect did not retaliate, even after several strongholds had been destroyed by the mysterious master; they chose to remain silent.

Because the rumors said that the mysterious master was already a Saint Ascension-level powerhouse.

Of course, within the Poison Sect, there were also Saint Ascension-level powerhouses, but they did not wish to risk offending another person of such level.

When Fang Qianqu discovered the true nature of the incident, he was truly at a loss for words.

"How could this be? Now that the Poison Sect no longer offers support, isn’t this leaving me alone to face the Lin Family?"

Fang Qianqu was extremely frustrated.

Previously, the reason Fang Qianqu dared to oppose the Lin Family was entirely because he had the support of the Poison Sect behind him. But now, the Poison Sect was no longer intervening in these matters; was this not a betrayal?

"No, I must still try to make contact with someone from the Poison Sect. I must bring their experts here. If the Poison Sect’s experts are here, Lin Fan will surely have some reservations. Otherwise, I’m as good as dead!"

After that, Fang Qianqu tried all sorts of ways to contact the Poison Sect.

And, believe it or not, eventually, Fang Qianqu actually managed to get in touch with another expert from the Poison Sect.

The moment he made contact with this expert, Fang Qianqu’s heart was filled with hope. Regardless, as long as he had made contact with an expert from the Poison Sect, he felt saved.

But soon, Fang Qianqu learned what it meant to go from joy to sorrow.

Because the next moment, that expert from the Poison Sect clearly stated that the Poison Sect would no longer target the Lin Family, they would not interfere with the affairs of Heavenly Martial City anymore, and they wouldn’t even appear in Heavenly Martial City for a short period.

In doing so, the Poison Sect had effectively recognized the Lin Family’s dominant status in Heavenly Martial City.

Fang Qianqu felt even more dejected. Only now do you decide not to meddle in the affairs of Heavenly Martial City?

So why did you act against it in the first place?

Now you all can just withdraw, leaving me alone here, isn’t that screwing me over?

In his heart, Fang Qianqu had already cursed the Poison Sect’s leadership through eighteen generations.

However, outwardly, Fang Qianqu dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction and hurriedly said, "My Lord..."

Fang Qianqu still wanted to plead for mercy.

But the person did not give Fang Qianqu a chance to plead at all and directly said, "Enough, from now on, you should not contact us either. As for whether you live or die in Heavenly Martial City, that’s up to your own fate!"

Fang Qianqu stood still, dumbfounded.

An incredulous expression appeared on his face.

After a long while, Fang Qianqu muttered to himself, "It seems that the mysterious master is really too powerful, even the Poison Sect is somewhat wary of him, ah, it is just my bad luck!"

"No, I cannot stay in Heavenly Martial City any longer; if I continue to stay here, I will certainly be killed by Lin Fan. I must leave quickly!"

Without any hesitation, Fang Qianqu fled.

He did not even bother packing up, because he worried that packing would take too much time, and if Lin Fan were to arrive, he would be in trouble.

Finally, he reached the edge of the Sky Star mountain range.

At that moment, Fang Qianqu felt relieved. The Lin Family had not pursued him after all. As long as he entered the Sky Star mountain range, even if the Lin Family had great abilities, they would generally not be able to find him.

"Good thing the Lin Family didn’t come after me!"

That’s what Fang Qianqu thought to himself, and then he headed into the depths of the Sky Star mountain range.

"Hmm?"

However, suddenly, Fang Qianqu stopped.

Because at that moment, Fang Qianqu realized that a very dangerous aura had locked onto him.

Instantly, Fang Qianqu’s hair stood on end.

Following the direction of the dangerous aura, Fang Qianqu saw that Lin Fan had emerged from hiding at a leisurely pace, with a faint smile on his face.

"You..."

Fang Qianqu immediately went into full combat mode, and at the same time, he scrutinized Lin Fan carefully and noticed that Lin Fan did not bring the Supreme Cannon. His heart felt slightly relieved.

In Fang Qianqu’s view, as long as Lin Fan had not brought the Supreme Cannon, there shouldn’t be too much danger for himself.

At least, there’s still a chance to run away.

"City Lord, we meet again, what a coincidence!" Lin Fan looked at Fang Qianqu with a beaming smile, and said.

Looking at Lin Fan’s demeanor, it was as if Fang Qianqu was an old friend of many years.

Fang Qianqu asked in a deep voice, "What are you here for?"

Lin Fan spoke indifferently, "City Lord, I knew you would definitely enter the Sky Star mountains through here, so I waited for you, and then I will kill you."

Lin Fan spoke very calmly, as if he had already regarded Fang Qianqu as a lamb to the slaughter.

Fang Qianqu frowned and asked, "Just you alone?"

Lin Fan nodded earnestly, "Yes, just me alone. But... I alone am enough to kill you!"

"Haha!"

Fang Qianqu burst into laughter and said, "Boy, I really don’t know whether to commend your courage or say you are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. You think you can kill me? That’s hilarious!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Funny? But I don’t find it funny at all. How about this, let’s have a fair duel. If you can defeat me, I’ll let you go, but if you lose, then, you die!"

While speaking, Lin Fan was also filled with a boiling war intent.

Because Lin Fan could feel that Fang Qianqu’s strength was formidable, and engaging him in a battle might lead to greater enlightenments.

Fang Qianqu looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Really?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Good!"

Fang Qianqu immediately became excited and said, "If that’s the case, then let’s have a battle."

At this moment, Fang Qianqu had already decided that he would take this opportunity to kill Lin Fan directly.

Fang Qianqu knew that rather than being defeated by the Lin Family, it was more accurate to say that he was defeated by the young man before him. The reason he had come to this desperate situation today was all caused by this young man.

So, if he killed Lin Fan, even if the Lin Family was finished, he would still have a chance for a comeback.

Afterward, both of them stopped talking and just looked at each other.

Both were searching for openings on the other person; it was a pity, at this time, whether it was Lin Fan or Fang Qianqu, both were fully alert and giving their all, which made finding any openings somewhat unrealistic under these circumstances.

Time passed, minute by minute.

"Roar!"

Finally, at a certain moment, Fang Qianqu roared and charged straight at Lin Fan.

Fang Qianqu made the first move.

Since he couldn’t find any openings on Lin Fan, he stopped searching.

Fang Qianqu decided to strike directly, believing that Lin Fan would surely reveal an opening once he moved, and once Lin Fan showed an opening, he could take the opportunity to slay him.

A sword swung rapidly at Lin Fan’s face.

This sword, bringing with it black sword light, seemed like it came from the depths of Nine Nether, its earth-shaking aura directly splitting the void around them.

As Fang Qianqu’s sword slashed out, Lin Fan only felt all the hairs on his body standing on end, the current Fang Qianqu appeared like a black primordial beast, extremely formidable.

"So strong!"

At this time, the only thought in Lin Fan’s mind was the realization of how powerful Fang Qianqu truly was, perhaps even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"System detected the host is in a dangerous state; Combat Projection function, automatically activated."

As Fang Qianqu made his move, the Universal Image’s Combat Projection feature had already automatically activated, and the image of Fang Qianqu’s move was instantly projected into Lin Fan’s mind.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fan made his move.

The Soul Essence Spear Technique directly swept out towards Fang Qianqu’s sword.

"One Element Soul-snatching Spear!"

The Soul-snatching Spear burst forth, with terrifying spear light appearing as well, which also carried the endless Flame Dragon Spear Intent.

Bang...

After a loud bang, their attacks finally collided.

Then, Lin Fan only felt an enormous energy sweeping over him, unable to control his body as he was sent flying backward, barely stabilizing himself upon landing but spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Lin Fan was injured.

It had to be said, Fang Qianqu really was very strong.

In that instant, Lin Fan had almost summoned all his strength, and even the Universal Image’s Combat Projection feature had automatically activated, allowing Lin Fan to make effective preparations instantly. Logically speaking, under these circumstances, Lin Fan should not have been defeated.

But...

Lin Fan was still defeated.

"Haha!"

Fang Qianqu burst into laughter, looking down at Lin Fan with contempt in his eyes: "Is this all the strength you have? Kid, I must say, you’re quite strong, but compared to me, you are still lacking by far."
