"A mere emperor of the Sui Dynasty dared to challenge me; this is his fate."
After killing Yang Guang, Lin Bufan was full of pride and looked down on everyone.
He turned to face the crowd, startling the members of the four powerful families, who retreated in fear.
Yuwen Wudi was physically strong and fearless. While everyone else was retreating, he stood still.
It quickly became the first to stick its neck out, attracting Lin Bufan's attention.
"The Yuwen family? They're really troublesome. You injured Yuwen Huaji, and they chased after Old Ancestor Yuwen. You even killed Old Ancestor Yuwen, and you still wouldn't let it go, pursuing them all the way here. Since that's the case..."
Lin Bufan slowly extended a finger, "I will eliminate your Yuwen family completely."
Whoosh!
The Six Meridian Divine Sword shot out, instantly piercing Yuwen Wudi's throat.
Yuwen Wudi's eyes widened in anger, and he clutched his neck with both hands, falling straight backward, blood pooling on the ground.
"Second Uncle~"
Yuwen Chengdu shouted.
"And you?" Lin Bufan turned to look at Yuwen Chengdu.
Yuwen Chengdu's face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly grabbed a few unlucky subordinates to shield himself.
Lin Bufan launched indiscriminate attacks, unleashing a barrage of Six Meridian Divine Swords.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
One after another, Yuwen Chengdu's men fell, and there was no one left in front of him.
"No, don't kill me."
Yuwen Chengdu felt a chill run through his body, and sweat poured down his forehead.
Lin Bufan shook his head, his killing intent growing stronger: "Back in the dilapidated temple, I gave you a chance to escape. Now you dare to come looking for me? If you want to seek your own death, I'll grant your wish."
Lin Bufan unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly shouted to those around him, "Lin Bufan killed the Emperor to avenge him! Do you all want to rightfully contend for the throne?"
These words worked as expected, striking a chord with the Li and Song factions.
Li Jiancheng of the Li clan was the first to be interested.
If Lin Bufan kills Yang Guang, and the Li clan captures and kills Lin Bufan, the Li clan will be considered loyal ministers and meritorious officials of the Sui Dynasty, and any uprising will become legitimate.
If his father becomes emperor and he becomes the crown prince, it will be a perfect fit, and just thinking about it is wonderful.
"Li Clan, obey orders! Capture Lin Bufan!"
Li Jiancheng gave the order, grinning wickedly as he led his men to surround Lin Bufan and his companions.
Not to be outdone, Song Zhi of the Song Clan shouted, "Song Clan, obey my command! Capture Lin Bufan!"
However, the soldiers and their men only dared to surround the person, not to go up and arrest them.
Li Jiancheng shouted at the top of his lungs for a long time, but still no one dared to go up.
It should be noted that Lin Bufan easily killed the Dugu Clan Chief, killed Yuwen Wudi, and terrified Yuwen Chengdu.
His martial arts skills are unimaginable. What's the point of risking your life for a lowly soldier who only earns a few hundred coins a month?
"Is nobody going?"
Li Jiancheng shouted, "Whoever can capture Lin Bufan will be granted the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households and a reward of ten thousand gold pieces."
With a generous reward, brave men will surely come. Everyone thought that there was strength in numbers, so they used a human wave tactic.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Bufan and his group were surrounded.
The more people there were, the more excited the young monk became, and he used his fists and feet to take on ten people at once.
Hou Xibai, Shi Qingxuan, and Shi Feixuan also displayed their martial arts skills, attempting to break through the encirclement.
They didn't want to sit idly by and wait to die.
Yuwen Chengdu's scheme succeeded, and he immediately relaxed, laughing heartily: "Lin Bufan, do you think you can handle so many people by yourself? You're going to die."
Lin Bufan flew towards him and said coldly, "Perhaps I can't kill everyone, but taking your head in the chaos is effortless for me."
Yuwen Chengdu's expression froze for a moment, then his vision turned blood red.
Blood spurted from his neck.
Death became inevitable.
Give me your hand, let's go.
Lin Bufan had no intention of continuing the fight. He held Shi Qingxuan's jade hand with his left hand and Shi Feixuan's jade hand with his right hand.
Shi Feixuan then grasped the young monk's hand, and the young monk grasped Hou Xibai's hand.
The group of people disappeared into thin air along with Lin Bufan.
The people from the four powerful clans here were stunned.
"Break...shatter the void?"
"They actually broke through the void and disappeared?"
"Could it be that their cultivation levels have already surpassed the Heavenly Realm?"
"A powerful expert who can shatter the void is rare, appearing only once every hundred years, and today we've seen five at once."
Amidst the various opinions, Li Shimin remained rational and analyzed, "It may not be a shattering of the void; perhaps it's just some trickery or scheme by the demonic sect."
Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it. Breaking through the void isn't that easy. That kid ran away because he was afraid of us."
"Wow, you're still talking! You were just trying to kill my older brother."
Kou Zhong pointed at Li Jiancheng and scolded him for his lack of respect.
Li Jiancheng angrily rebuked, "Who are you talking to, you brat? Second brother, Xiuning, keep your men in check!"
"You look down on us brothers, huh? We're quitting."
Kou Zhong had a temper that was bigger than his ability. He pulled Xu Ziling away from the Li Clan and said, "The emperor is dead. Anyone can fight for the world, right? I'm going to form a Young Marshal Army to fight your Li Clan for the world."
"You brat, I'll show you how to compete with the Li clan for the world."
Enraged, Li Jiancheng drew his sword, intending to kill Kou Zhong.
Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, and Song Yuzhi hurriedly stopped Li Jiancheng.
"Brother, don't be angry. Kou Zhong was just joking. Kou Zhong, apologize to my brother right now."
"I'm not apologizing. You think I'm joking? I'm serious. Xiuning, listen to me, one day I will become a young marshal and come to the Li family in a grand procession to marry you."
After Kou Zhong finished speaking, he pulled Xu Ziling away quickly.
Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi simultaneously chased after him a few steps, calling out, "Kou Zhong, come back!"
Kou Zhong did not return, nor did Xu Ziling; they had gone far away.
"What a pity," Li Shimin sighed. "Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are both talented men. If they are not employed by the Li clan, they may become obstacles to the Li clan's dominance of the world in the future."
"Only you would think such nonsense." Li Jiancheng scoffed and mocked, "They're just two thugs. If he could become a young marshal, I'd do a handstand and poop for you."
"Ahem." Li Shimin didn't expect his elder brother to have such heavy tastes, so he quickly changed the subject and ordered his men to enter Yang Gong's treasure vault to plunder the jewels.
The remnants of the Song and Yuwen clans, as well as most of the Dugu clan, have already left; the Li clan cannot afford to fall behind.
