Chapter 561: Chapter 561 Things Get Weird

"Puff!"

The first thing Zhao Jiaqi did when she surfaced was to take deep breaths.

After all, even with Lin Fan acting as an oxygen tank, it was not the same as real air.

However, before she could make out where she was,

a huge hand emerged from the void and clutched her neck.

"Be careful!"

Almost simultaneously, Lin Fan, still under the water, sensed that something was wrong.

The dagger in his hand broke through the water, shooting upward.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud noise,

the hand that had grabbed Zhao Jiaqi was forcibly severed.

But the next second, something even more bizarre happened.

The severed hand continued to drag Zhao Jiaqi upwards.

"Damn it, get me up there."

Lin Fan, having just surfaced, had no leverage.

Luckily, Ni Chang had also emerged from the water.

In his urgency, he could only push down on her shoulders.

He leaped into the air.

His dagger swept through the air several times towards the back of the hand.

Amid the howling of Gang Qi, Zhao Jiaqi finally screamed and fell down.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Almost at the same time, Ni Chang also suffered a sneak attack under the water.

Two burly puppets had already grabbed at her.

Luckily, she was no longer the person she had been.

Her long sword flicked, producing sword flowers, and repelled the puppets.

"Brilliant, it has only been a few days, but your strength has not diminished, it seems this place is not just any secret realm one can enter after losing their power!"

The lights suddenly brightened, and Beitiao Qian Naizi on the shore withdrew her puppets with a taunting expression.

The Woguo ronin standing beside her had a cold gaze.

That piercingly cold light emanating from his body gave a chilling eeriness with his stance.

Lin Fan and his two companions had never expected that the enemy would even know the location of this exit.

"This doesn’t look right,"

Lin Fan frowned.

Indeed, the whole situation seemed off.

How did they know about the dragon bones in the inescapable Luo Lan City?

And now, they were able to precisely ambush the three here.

Obviously, they knew something beyond what was reasonable.

Clearly, there must be some unexpected conspiracy involved.

If they even knew about such protected information,

then concerning the Jiazi Project, what did they know about Dragon Fang’s planned countermeasures?

"Where are my people?"

Ni Chang glared at Beitiao Qian Naizi with fury.

All the tranquility of the cave was shattered by this demon.

"They are all fine, but who knows if that will still be the case if you wait any longer,"

Beitiao Qian Naizi pointed with her hand.

The trio in the water all looked up.

Above the cavern, hundreds of children were hanging,

but at this moment, they were neither crying nor fussing, with sunken eyes.

Clearly, they had not received any food for days.

"You beast!"

Seeing this, Ni Chang was filled with a mixture of grief and anger.

Just as she intended to rescue them, a Sword Qi slashed through the air.

It was the doing of the Woguo ronin on the shore.

"Clang!"

Luckily, Lin Fan intervened in time, blocking the strike forcefully.

But with no leverage, the two fell back into the water.

"I advise you not to act rashly, or the next sword strike’s target will be them. Can you stop it?"

The Woguo ronin narrowed his eyes, his right hand gripping a chillingly sharp blade.

That cold demeanor fueled Lin Fan’s rage.

But he was helpless since he was in the water without leverage,

and with the hundred children hanging there,

his concerns prevented him from moving.

"Hand over the dragon bones!"

Beitiao Qian Naizi looked at the three with a cold sneer on her face.

Setting an ambush here was meant to catch the opponent off guard.

"I have the dragon bone in my hand, release the child first!"

Ni Chang’s eyes seemed to bleed.

She reached into her bosom and pulled out the dragon bone, flickering with auspicious light.

"Do you think you have the right to bargain, or should I give you a little welcoming gift before you hand it over?"

Beitiao Qian Naizi smiled coldly.

Her figure did not move, but the children above had already started to scream.

The threads, thin as spider silk, began to tighten.

They immediately struggled and shook in pain, but they couldn’t escape at all.

"Don’t mess around, I’ll give it to you!"

The cries of pain sent Ni Chang into utter confusion.

It felt as if a million knives had pierced her heart.

After glancing at Lin Fan, she hurriedly threw the dragon bone towards the shore.

She now had no right to bargain.

"Snap!"

The next moment, a puppet rushed forward.

It opened its mouth and swallowed the dragon bone.

At the same time, the other seven puppets moved quickly to cover it in the middle.

This way, it was hard to tell which puppet had swallowed the dragon bone.

"You better keep your promise, or I guarantee you won’t walk out of this cave alive."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

If the opponent dared not to keep the deal,

it would mean no concerns left to worry about.

He could completely go all out.

"Don’t worry, I’m not foolish enough to tear up my best insurance, so you’d better not make any sudden moves. As long as I can leave safely, we can settle our accounts later."

Now that she had obtained the dragon bone, Beitiao Qian Naizi had no intention of staying any longer.

The puppet immediately picked up the palanquin and strode towards a cave.

"Are we just going to let them take the dragon bone?"

Zhao Jiaqi looked anxiously at Lin Fan.

The dragon bone was a sacred artifact.

It being taken by these people was not a good thing.

"First, ensure the safety of the children. As soon as they enter the cave entrance, you two go save them. I will find a way to stop her."

Lin Fan quickly swam to the shore.

He watched Beitiao Qian Naizi walk towards the exit.

The control she had over the children was through the invisible threads in her hands.

So once they entered the cave and the position tightened, he would have a chance to cut them off.

Although the cave ceiling was more than ten meters above the ground, the deep pond below was enough to sustain the children’s fall.

Then he would have the opportunity to trap her.

Once unrestricted, Lin Fan would not hold back at all.

Regardless of who the opponent was, he was absolutely confident in keeping her there.

"Okay!"

Zhao Jiaqi and Ni Chang were also ready for the final effort.

But just as Beitiao Qian Naizi’s group had just entered the cave,

the Woguo ronin following her stopped.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly turning around, a burst of Sword Qi shot towards Lin Fan.

This sudden move was somewhat unexpected.

Lin Fan casually fended off the attack.

But the next moment, he swung his sword toward the dark entrance of the cave.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the impact of the Sword Qi on the mountain,

the entire cave shook.

Countless rocks fell in an instant,

completely sealing the already narrow cave entrance.

"Ah!"

Almost simultaneously, more than a hundred children from the top of the cave fell,

plunging into the deep pond behind them.

Zhao Jiaqi and Ni Chang hastily turned back to help the children.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, staring at the ronin opposite him.

This guy clearly had a death wish.

"It seems you are prepared to die!"
