"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Lü, for protecting me all the way."
"Should we stop chasing after the escapee now?"
Lin Xiaofei smiled and said.
When preparing to attack the stronghold, he was not originally required to follow behind Steward Xu Chen, but Senior Brother Lü, Senior Brother Ding, and Xu Chen all wanted him to act with them.
He knew there was definitely something wrong here.
However, he wasn't afraid. He wanted to see what tricks these three people were up to.
At this moment, although Xu Chen was nowhere to be seen, the three of them arrived in the deep forest in the mountains, where there were no other disciples of the Qingfeng Gang.
Clearly, Senior Brother Lü is preparing to make trouble.
Senior Brother Lü smiled, stared at Lin Xiaofei, slowly approached, and said:
There's no need to pursue it any further.
We chased after the fleeing men, and your Senior Brother Ding, Steward Xu, and I shielded you from many attackers. How can Junior Brother Lin possibly thank us?"
"Thank you? Wasn't this all voluntary?"
If I really want to thank you, I'll treat you to drinks when we get back to the Green Peak Gang, how about that?
Seeing that Senior Brother Lü was holding a long sword and about to approach, Lin Xiaofei slowly took a few steps back and said.
"There's no need for such trouble. I think you should atone with your death. Only then can you give the Third Elder an explanation."
Senior Brother Lü's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He let out a cold shout and charged forward like a wild beast, his long sword dancing wildly like a madman.
In an instant, countless blades flashed.
A whistling sound, like the roar of a tsunami, came from the chaotic flashing blades, rushing towards us.
This sword technique is the Mad Demon's Chaotic Dance Sword Technique—wild and savage.
"Finally, the fox's tail has been revealed."
Lin Xiaofei sneered and swung his longsword.
The sword shadows crisscrossed, like stars falling from the sky, their momentum overwhelming.
The sword shadows appeared and disappeared, emitting bursts of sword cries that caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
when!
The wild longsword was knocked away by a single sword strike in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the longsword moved with the speed of a gust of wind, piercing through the air with a single strike.
puff!
A deep gash was left on his chest, and blood splattered everywhere.
Senior Brother Lü's heart was pierced by a sword. His body stiffened, tilted, and rolled into the woods and bushes. His body was hidden in the bushes and seemed to have disappeared.
"What?"
On the other side, Senior Brother Ding had just killed that person when he turned around and his expression changed. He exclaimed in surprise.
He never expected that Senior Brother Lü, who had killed an ordinary peak-level disciple, would be defeated and killed instead.
He suspected that Senior Brother Lü might have gotten tired of killing people, and for a moment, he couldn't even beat someone like Lin Xiaofei.
It should be noted that they had already investigated and found that Lin Xiaofei's cultivation level was at the peak of the ordinary realm, and no one in the same realm could rival him.
Even so, it would be impossible to defeat Senior Brother Lü, a mid-stage Martial Artist.
"Senior Brother Ding, now it's time to send you on your way."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei took a step forward, his figure flashing like a gust of wind, his speed astonishing.
His feet stomped continuously, as if lotus flowers were about to bloom; this was the lightness skill he had just practiced, the Lotus Step.
Although he hadn't yet mastered this lightness skill, he had cultivated internal energy. By channeling internal energy into his legs, his speed was significantly faster than when he used the Light Cloud Step.
"Hmm? You've actually cultivated internal energy."
Senior Brother Ding, who was still in surprise, was shocked when he saw the internal energy on the soles of Lin Xiaofei's legs and feet, and his expression changed drastically.
I was initially wondering if Senior Brother Lü was tired, which was why he couldn't beat Lin Xiaofei.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofei suddenly released his inner energy, which meant that Lin Xiaofei's realm was a whole realm higher than his.
A higher realm means that the opponent's strength is also much greater than his.
When martial arts techniques are performed using internal energy, their power is greatly increased, making them impossible for someone at the mid-stage of the Flowing Realm to withstand.
At this moment, he panicked, knowing that he was no match for Lin Xiaofei and that if he fought Lin Xiaofei, he would die.
Without thinking twice, he turned around and rushed into a grove of trees.
"Lin Xiaofei, I am Xu Chen's manager, you can't kill me."
Steward Xu Chen will be back soon. If you kill me, he won't let you off the hook.
"Brother Ding!" he shouted as he rushed into the woods.
"If Xu Chen comes, I'll kill him just the same."
Lin Xiaofei took a step forward, and lotus flowers bloomed under his feet. His speed was like lightning, and he covered seventeen or eighteen meters in the time it took to breathe.
Soon, he caught up with Senior Brother Ding, swung his longsword, and slashed at him.
Sizzle!
With a single sword strike, he cleaved Senior Brother Ding's body in two.
"ah!"
Senior Brother Ding let out a miserable scream, opened his mouth, and blood gushed out. His body went limp, and he rolled into the woods, where he died.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the bodies of his two senior brothers, his expression calm. At the same time, he remembered what Senior Brother Ding had just said: Xu Chen would be returning soon.
Then, he used his Illusionary Eyes technique to see through the gaps in the trees. In the distance, he could see a figure running quickly and gradually approaching from a grove of trees.
That person was Xu Chen.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaofei realized that Xu Chen seemed to have deliberately allowed those who had fled to escape.
This made him somewhat suspicious: was Xu Chen really a member of the Grand Elder's faction?
Also, just now, before Senior Brother Lü died, he mentioned the Third Elder, which made Lin Xiaofei suspect that Xu Chen might be one of the Third Elder's people.
As Lin Xiaofei was pondering, the figure in the distance rushed towards him, stopping only after getting close enough to reach him.
"Junior Brother Lin, you've been hiding your true abilities very well."
However, no matter how well you hide it, it's useless now. I've cultivated to the early stage of the third-rate realm, while you're probably still in the Inner Qi realm.
With a quick glance, Xu Chen saw that his two men were dead, then looked at Lin Xiaofei, smiled, and said.
"What difference does it make whether it is or isn't?"
As Lin Xiaofei spoke, he drew his longsword.
At the same time, Xu Chen did not hesitate. He took a step forward, and several throwing knives appeared in his hand. He threw them at Lin Xiaofei.
Three throwing knives, gleaming with a cold light, shot towards us with the speed of sharp arrows.
With a flash of his eyes, Lin Xiaofei raised his longsword and unleashed the Mad Shadow Sword Technique. The sword shadow danced like the wind as he slashed at the flying knife.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The flying knife was struck down in an instant.
Immediately afterward, the moment he swung his longsword, Xu Chen pounced on him.
Xu Chen's movements were like a ghost, moving with an ethereal speed, extremely fast.
At the same time, Xu Chen held a black longsword that gleamed with a cold light and slashed down.
“Junior Brother Lin, you had a chance to escape after killing two of my men, but you didn’t cherish it.”
Since you have the courage to stay, you must have some tricks up your sleeve.
However, you may not know this, but I have not only reached the early stage of the third-rate realm, but the longsword in my hand is also a treasured sword, enough to send you to the Yellow Springs.
Then came a cold shout.
"Who will send whom to the underworld is still uncertain."
Lin Xiaofei sneered and swung his longsword again, the sword light as bright as stars, slashing at the flying sword.
when!
The moment the two swords clashed, Lin Xiaofei's longsword broke with a loud bang.
Startled, Lin Xiaofei's expression changed. He quickly activated his internal energy, turned his feet, and unleashed astonishing speed to dodge the sword that was about to strike.
boom!
The tip of the longsword flew out and struck a tree trunk, instantly severing the tree in two.
