Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Your Heads, I’m Taking Them!

The Lin Clan Duo!

Upon hearing the tall man in black announce his name, Ling Xuan and the other three Ling Family guards turned pale with fright.

Although they hadn’t heard of the Lin Clan Duo before, the fact that the man had instantly killed a Martial Artist at the Sixth Layer of the Transcendence Realm with a single strike was enough to instill fear in their hearts.

Such a display of power was truly chilling!

"Miss, be careful! These two men are likely Sixth Layer Peak experts of the Transcendence Realm!"

An elder guard from the Ling Family, whose keen insight was evident, took one look and discerned that the two men in black were no ordinary opponents!

Especially the tall man wielding the silver spear—his movements were effortless and natural, a clear sign he had mastered the Gun Heart Realm, making him a formidable expert in the Gun Dao.

Such individuals often possessed an overwhelming combat prowess that could sweep through other Martial Artists of the same level.

Ling Xuan’s expression was laced with panic, but upon glancing at Guo Qing and Ji Rou nearby, she steadied herself slightly.

"There’s no need to panic. We have the advantage in numbers. Moreover, we have Guo Qing with us!"

Among Martial Artists of the same level, Sect Disciples always possess greater combat capabilities.

Furthermore, there were five Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artists on their side, while the enemy only had two!

A sheer battle of attrition should be enough to wear them down!

From Ling Xuan’s perspective, they held an undisputed advantage.

However, both Guo Qing and Ji Rou’s expressions were somber.

They had seen the elimination mission concerning the Lin Clan Duo while selecting tasks at the Luoxia Sect.

Both men were top-tier experts at the Sixth Layer of Transcendence.

Especially Lin the Elder—an expert who had grasped the Gun Heart Realm and could pierce five holes in a person with a single thrust of his spear!

More than ten Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm Martial Artists had already perished at his hands!

Guo Qing and Ji Rou had no confidence they could defeat the duo, which was why they had avoided choosing that mission. To their shock, they were now encountering them here!

And judging by their recent actions, Lin the Elder’s prowess was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested; his mastery of the Gun Dao Realm might have already reached the intermediate stage of the Gun Heart Realm!

Taking a deep breath, Guo Qing calmly spoke:

"Lin Clan Duo, you’re already wanted by the Three Great Sects. Sect experts from all over are hunting you down. Instead of hiding for your lives, you’re parading around like this—you’re walking into a trap!"

"Ha! Trying to scare us using the Three Great Sects—do you take us for naive children?"

The silver-spear-wielding Lin the Elder sneered and continued, "Let me make this clear—we’ve already killed several Sect Disciples from the Three Great Sects. Soon, we’ll be leaving the Great Chu Dynasty, adopting new names and identities. By then, no matter how powerful your Three Great Sects are, what can they do to us?"

The other man in black pointed at Guo Qing and the others with a lecherous grin and said:

"Enough talking! You three stay behind and serve us well. If you can make us comfortable, we might spare your lives. As for the rest, leave all your valuables behind, sever one arm, and crawl away!"

Lin the Elder spoke indifferently, "Live or die—make your choice."

"Arrogant nonsense!"

"Miss, let’s fight them to the death!"

The Ling Family guards erupted with fury.

Ling Xuan’s expression turned icy as well.

As the second young lady of the Ling Family, proud and ambitious, she had never been humiliated this way!

At this moment, Guo Qing whispered, "Miss Ling, if things take a turn for the worse, escape immediately."

"What?"

Ling Xuan was taken aback. She quickly replied, "They’re only two men. If we join forces, we can..."

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

Guo Qing snorted coldly and decisively said, "The one ahead of us has reached the intermediate stage of Gun Heart mastery. In his presence, we are insignificant."

With that, Guo Qing stepped forward, looked directly at Lin the Elder, and declared, "The Lin Clan Duo—you claim to sweep through the Transcendence Realm? Today, I’ll put you to the test!"

"You want to challenge me? Since you wish to court death, let me oblige!"

Lin the Elder’s face twisted into a cruel expression as he prepared to strike, but Lin the Younger stopped him.

"Brother, this little girl is fiery—I like her! Let me handle her!"

Boom!

As soon as his words fell, Lin the Younger sprang forward, launching himself at Guo Qing.

"Come to me, little beauty!"

Mid-air, Lin the Younger struck with a fierce and domineering palm, aiming to capture Guo Qing in one move.

"Get lost!"

Guo Qing’s gaze turned icy as she met his aggressive palm strike directly with her fist.

Bang!

The Qi Force exploded. Lin the Younger retreated to the ground, while Guo Qing was thrown from her horse.

"Ha! You’ve got some fight in you! Try another of my strikes!"

Lin the Younger let out a sinister laugh and launched himself at Guo Qing again with an even more powerful palm strike, his hand compressing the air and emitting a deep, oppressive roar.

"Astonishing Skies!"

Guo Qing’s gaze remained cold. Her delicate right hand clenched into a fist and shot out.

With a loud bang, Guo Qing staggered back over ten steps, her stance unsteady, shock flickering in her eyes.

The opponent’s power was far stronger than she had anticipated!

"Come closer!"

Seeing an opening, Lin the Younger darted at Guo Qing again.

Suddenly, a faint, sharp whistling sound cut through the air.

Ji Rou silently appeared beside them, her soft sword transforming into a dazzling streak aimed directly at Lin the Younger’s throat.

Lin the Younger reacted swiftly, halting his advance abruptly.

Slice!

The sword edge grazed Lin the Younger’s throat, leaving a shallow, bleeding wound. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Ji Rou frowned slightly at the sight.

Despite preparing meticulously for this strike, she had hoped to inflict serious damage on the enemy!

"Feisty one, aren’t you? Fine! I’ll play with you first!"

Lin the Younger’s eyes flashed with anger as he struck a mighty palm toward Ji Rou.

Clang!

The soft sword bent to its limit before snapping straight, its concentrated force driving Ji Rou back repeatedly, her face flushing unnaturally pale.

Swish!

Guo Qing charged back into the fray.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The trio’s movements intertwined furiously, their strikes echoing with relentless blasts of Qi Force.

Watching the fierce exchange, Ling Xuan turned ashen-faced.

"Miss, what should we do?"

A Ling Family guard asked in a hoarse voice.

Ling Xuan opened her mouth, her mind blank with panic, completely at a loss.

She had never imagined that the strength of two black-clad men could reach such extremes.

Even with Guo Qing and Ji Rou working together, they were barely holding off just one opponent.

And the more powerful Lin the Elder was still watching from the sidelines, ready to strike—escape wasn’t even an option!

As she envisioned the grim outcome awaiting them in the Lin Clan Duo’s hands, Ling Xuan’s heart sank into despair, her body trembling with fear.

At that moment, Lin the Elder grew impatient with the fight.

"Brother, stop playing around!"

With a cold shout, Lin the Elder leaped from his horse, thrusting his spear forward.

"Danger!"

Guo Qing and Ji Rou’s expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Though their opponent had merely thrust one spear, they felt as though their bodies were entirely locked in place, with no chance to evade or escape—face-to-face confrontation was the only option left!

Thud!

Thud!

The two spat blood as they were forced backward.

Ji Rou’s lips oozed blood, her right hand holding her sword trembling uncontrollably.

Guo Qing’s state was even worse; her right shoulder bore a deep wound, blood streaming freely.

With just one thrust, both were seriously injured!

"Obedience would have saved you so much trouble. Why resist?"

Lin the Younger let out a dark laugh, glaring coldly at the crowd. "You dare challenge the Lin Clan Duo? If anyone still feels defiant, step forward now!"

The crowd felt as though they had fallen into an icy abyss, their hearts filled with profound despair.

Ling Xuan trembled violently, her delicate face pale as paper. She couldn’t believe that her first attempt at leading a trade caravan had resulted in such a dire situation!

"So, you’re the Lin Clan Duo? I’m taking your heads!"

At that moment, a clear and resolute voice rang out.

Luo Cheng stepped out from the crowd.
