Chapter 219: Chapter 218: Jade Scroll

Fang Qianqu, due to his severe injuries, could produce sword moves that seemed dazzling, but ultimately, they just didn’t pack enough power.

Even Fang Qianqu found it strenuous to execute his sword moves.

"Hehe!"

Lin Fan laughed and said, "Before you were injured, you truly had the strength to kill me, but now, you’ve lost that ability!"

"Next, brace yourself for death, hehe!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan’s aura suddenly became murderous.

At the same time, Lin Fan effortlessly dodged Fang Qianqu’s sword move attack.

"Run!"

Finally, Fang Qianqu realized that it was impossible for him to kill Lin Fan today, so he gritted his teeth and turned to flee.

"Haha!"

Lin Fan laughed out loud, saying, "Thinking of running away now? Isn’t it already too late? Haha!"

"Kill!"

Lin Fan charged forward, surprisingly managing to get in front of Fang Qianqu before he could react.

Usually, Fang Qianqu might be faster than Lin Fan, but now that he was injured, his speed was limited, and naturally, he couldn’t catch up with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan, with his Soul Essence Spear Technique at the ready, faced Fang Qianqu with a slight smile on his face.

Fang Qianqu’s expression turned extremely ugly, his face darkening to the extreme. He also gave up the idea of continuing his escape because he was very clear that under these circumstances, there was no chance for him to run away.

"Do you really intend to kill me?"

Fang Qianqu asked coldly.

Lin Fan replied, "If you were the one who failed, you would kill me as well, wouldn’t you?"

Fang Qianqu didn’t respond.

Lin Fan was right; in today’s battle, if Lin Fan were the losing side, Fang Qianqu would certainly have killed him without hesitation.

"So, meet your end!"

Lin Fan charged again.

The Soul Essence Spear Technique, with its spear light, reached Fang Qianqu in a blink of an eye.

"Let’s perish together!"

Fang Qianqu suddenly roared, and his body began to burn, with endless energy swirling around. At the same time, Fang Qianqu charged toward Lin Fan.

He was preparing to self-destruct.

You see, Fang Qianqu was a Heavenly Martial Level expert, and the energy contained in his body was tremendously terrifying. Once he self-destructed, the unleashed power would be immense.

"Not good!"

Lin Fan was taken aback, but thanks to the Universal Image warning him promptly, he felt the danger instantly.

"Retreat!"

Lin Fan pushed his speed to the limit, quickly retreating.

Bang...

Finally, Fang Qianqu’s body exploded, and the vast energy swept over Lin Fan.

Although Lin Fan retreated immediately, the energy released from Fang Qianqu’s self-destruction was too massive, and Lin Fan was injured.

Lin Fan’s body was blown away, crashing heavily onto the ground, and then he struggled to get up, his body shaking continuously, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Fan looked toward where Fang Qianqu had just been, finding it empty; Fang Qianqu had already been blasted into pieces.

"Just now, I really was careless. I should have been prepared for Fang Qianqu’s self-destruction. Thankfully, the Universal Image reminded me at the crucial moment. Otherwise, Fang Qianqu would have truly taken me down with him!"

Thinking of the danger just now, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a surge of fear deep inside his heart.

"Eh?"

The next moment, Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Because, to his astonishment, Lin Fan found a Jade Scroll lying quietly at the spot where Fang Qianqu had exploded.

"There’s actually a Jade Scroll? Unbelievable!"

A sense of amazement also sprang up in Lin Fan’s heart.

At the same time, Lin Fan was one hundred percent certain that this Jade Scroll was no ordinary object.

You have to know that the explosion from Fang Qianqu’s self-detonation was so strong, yet the Jade Scroll was not damaged at all, which was proof of its extraordinary nature.

"Maybe it’s some kind of treasure!"

Lin Fan walked towards the Jade Scroll, and immediately, he sensed a silent aura emanating from it, faint but distinctly extraordinary.

Lin Fan intended to pick up the Jade Scroll.

But just then, a voice rang out: "Stop right there!"

At the same time, a middle-aged man approached.

This middle-aged man’s cultivation was at the Perfect Realm of the Earth Martial Level, just a step away from reaching the legendary Heavenly Martial Level.

The surrounding onlookers also watched the middle-aged man, most of them somewhat puzzled. What was this middle-aged man up to?

Lin Fan looked at the middle-aged man, his brows furrowed slightly as he asked, "What’s the matter?"

Instead of answering Lin Fan, the middle-aged man looked at the Jade Scroll in front of Lin Fan and shamelessly declared, "I hereby announce that this Jade Scroll in front of you now belongs to me!"

As it turned out, the middle-aged man had also spotted the exceptionality of the Jade Scroll, and seeing Lin Fan in a state of extreme weakness, the middle-aged man believed that with his own strength, he could easily deal with the weakened Lin Fan and take possession of the Jade Scroll.

Lin Fan laughed in anger and said, "How arrogant. You want this Jade Scroll, right? If you have the ability, come and take it yourself!"

"Offended!"

With a cold snort, the middle-aged man made his move.

A longsword flashing with golden light appeared in his hand, and in an instant, Sword Light surged, slashing towards Lin Fan.

Lin Fan seemingly couldn’t withstand the Sword Qi in the middle-aged man’s attack, his body swaying twice.

Many people were now worried for Lin Fan. Can Lin Fan withstand it?

"Perhaps this expert will die at the hands of Butcher Hu? What a pity. However, Butcher Hu is indeed very shameless, to take advantage of someone in this condition? Absolutely detestable!"

Many people looked down on Butcher Hu’s character.

However, they also didn’t dare speak out, because Butcher Hu was quite powerful, and they didn’t want to offend him.

Butcher Hu’s attack had reached Lin Fan’s presence, and it seemed that in the next moment, Sword Light would completely pierce through Lin Fan’s body.

At that time, a smug smile appeared on Butcher Hu’s face, believing that the magical Jade Scroll before Lin Fan would soon be his.

"Are you courting death?"

Just then, Lin Fan let out a cold snort.

At the same time, Lin Fan’s body moved imperceptibly, effortlessly dodging Butcher Hu’s attack. Additionally, with a light flick of his right hand, the Hidden Weapon Path was already deployed; a Golden Needle instantly pierced Butcher Hu’s throat.

"You... you..."

With his mouth agape and eyes widened, Butcher Hu wanted to say something, but he couldn’t speak a word as his life force rapidly drained away.

The people around, having seen Lin Fan’s method of attack, couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Many murmured quietly, "This expert is too strong."

In fact, previously, many had entertained the thought of taking advantage while the iron was hot.

However, they had now completely abandoned that idea.

Because they knew that even in a weakened state, Lin Fan was still incredibly formidable; if they were to take advantage of his weakness, they would almost certainly die by Lin Fan’s hand.
