Chapter 112: Chapter 100 Assistance

"It’s not just these two, there’s one more." As Lin Yuan saw Cheng Xiongjia, the internal energy within his body quietly began to circulate.

Steadfast as a mountain, swift as a leaping hare.

Though he had already fought Shi Xin and had a rough understanding of the Condensed Qi realm’s power, Cheng Xiongjia was a seasoned master in that realm, and who knew what other tricks he might have.

"Lin Yuan, today you won’t escape even if you grew wings." As the two were about to fight, a familiar figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the forest.

Yue Zhenhan moved with extreme speed, exuding a strong killing intent.

"Yue Zhenhan, why is he here to kill me? Who arranged this?" Lin Yuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

But his thoughts were interrupted by a strong gust of wind.

Wang Wei shot forward like an arrow, reaching him in an instant.

Bam!

With a domineering stance, Wang Wei arrived, delivering a right punch straight for Lin Yuan’s chest. Wang Wei had great confidence in his punch, determined to make it effective in one strike.

Although Xu Yang had instructed him to just hold Lin Yuan off, assuring him that someone else would strike from the shadows, Wang Wei believed he could handle the kill without needing the involvement of others.

Underestimating his own renown, Wang Wei felt his spirit surge and his punch’s force became even more aggressive, enveloped in gales aimed at Lin Yuan’s chest.

Bam!

As fist met palm, a thunderous sound erupted. Wang Wei was taken aback because the reality was far from what he had anticipated.

Lin Yuan stood there calmly, extending only his hand to block Wang Wei’s punch. The circulation of his Qi-Blood and the impact from his rapid charge couldn’t budge Lin Yuan an inch.

Lin Yuan’s posture was as upright as a pine, his robe flowing gracefully, with a deep glint flashing in his eyes.

With his right palm blocking Wang Wei’s punch as if it were a gentle breeze.

"This, this is..." Wang Wei was shocked, realizing that Lin Yuan had crossed that threshold and entered the Condensed Qi level.

Before he could retract his right punch, his left leg kicked towards Lin Yuan’s groin, aiming for a critical point.

Although Lin Yuan had entered the Condensed Qi level, it hadn’t been long. With both Yue Zhenhan and Cheng Xiongjia at that level, they should be able to kill him.

For now, all Wang Wei needed to do was retreat and wait for the other two to make their move.

Such thinking might be sound against ordinary martial artists. Indeed, against a typical Condensed Qi practitioner, he would have an opportunity to retreat with ease.

He failed fatally by considering Lin Yuan too ordinary.

Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with indifference.

As he blocked the incoming punch with his right palm, he grabbed Wang Wei’s fist. Then he pulled Wang Wei’s body towards him, disarming Wang Wei’s kicking leg and throwing him off balance.

Seeing Wang Wei’s predicament, Lin Yuan smiled faintly. His right hand continued to apply force, pushing forward.

Snap.

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

"Ah." Wang Wei screamed, a sound that was heart-wrenching. Terror filled his eyes, as he realized he had no resistance, and now he was down an arm.

"You’ve barked long enough." Hearing the scream, Lin Yuan coldly said, "Disturbing the peace."

With a fierce look in his eyes, Lin Yuan swung a punch towards Wang Wei’s lower jaw.

Crack!

The shadow flashed, and Wang Wei’s whole set of teeth shattered, his tongue reduced to mince.

"Mmm." Wang Wei whimpered like a dog with a broken back, a muffled moan squeezed from his throat.

Extreme pain caused him to sweat profusely, hatred and fear intermingling in his eyes.

But with such serious injuries, he couldn’t stand, slowly falling backward, his eyes wide open, staring at Lin Yuan.

"Quite something." Cheng Xiongjia looked down, seeing Lin Yuan nearly kill Wang Wei in one move, smirking coldly.

He had watched Wang Wei engage with a purpose to gauge Lin Yuan’s strength, hoping Lin Yuan would incapacitate Wang Wei to prevent another Ao Daguang from challenging him in the future.

"Lin Yuan’s strength has greatly improved since he left the academy." Yue Zhenhan’s eyes moved, secretly shocked. "With this performance, Lin Yuan could almost rank in the top five among the elite Disciples. Otherwise, he couldn’t have defeated Wang Wei so easily."

Yue Zhenhan and Cheng Xiongjia’s eyes flickered as they both focused on Lin Yuan.

"Cheng Xiongjia, Yue Hall Master." Lin Yuan smiled faintly and spoke, "I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve both Condensed Qi level masters targeting me."

"Eradicating evil requires thoroughness." Cheng Xiongjia replied concisely, stepping off the wall and slowly approaching Lin Yuan.

"Weeding must be thorough, or it will regrow with the spring breeze." Yue Zhenhan also smiled slightly, stepping closer. "Hall Master Ao feared Cheng Xiongjia might fail, so he sent me as well."

"I didn’t expect you to live up to the name of genius with such rapid improvement in just a month, truly surprising." Yue Zhenhan and Cheng Xiongjia flanked Lin Yuan.

When they moved, they could almost reach him within a single breath.

"Before we start, I want to die knowing something clearly." Lin Yuan smirked and asked Cheng Xiongjia, "Gang Leader, who sent Shi Xin from the Lotus Gang to kill me?"

"Shi Xin?" Cheng Xiongjia pondered.

He had no memory of this and was somewhat puzzled.

"Shi Xin? Ao Daguang had arranged for this person to kill Lin Yuan long ago?" Yue Zhenhan also pondered and suddenly understood.

Assigning Shi Xin to kill Lin Yuan was likely an initial probe. But with Shi Xin’s mediocre skills, killing Lin Yuan was impossible.

"It seems Gang Leader doesn’t know this person." Seeing Cheng Xiongjia’s reaction, Lin Yuan knew that it wasn’t the Lotus Gang that had initially targeted him.

Otherwise, Cheng Xiongjia wouldn’t react like this.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, realizing he couldn’t get any information from Cheng Xiongjia, so he would have to investigate by other means.

"Insignificant person, how would I know." Cheng Xiongjia sneered, "Die if you must, knowing these things is useless."

Whoosh!

Cheng Xiongjia’s eyes flashed with cold light, he drew a long knife, his internal energy surged, and he moved, rushing to kill.

Cheng Xiongjia swung his knife towards Lin Yuan’s shoulder, the blade cutting through the air with force and momentum.

Yue Zhenhan was similarly unwilling to be left behind, drawing out a steel whip from his waist, spinning it as he swung towards Lin Yuan.

The whip’s tip carried with it a fierce wind, like a venomous snake’s tongue, aiming to entangle Lin Yuan’s legs.

"Hmph!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly at the sight.

Their attack was quick and fierce, far beyond what Shi Xin could compare.

In the blink of an eye, the knife and whip were about to touch his body.

Lin Yuan did not move, merely turning slightly to dodge both their attacks.

Suddenly, the whip’s trajectory changed unexpectedly, slanting upwards, straight for Cheng Xiongjia’s chest and abdomen.

"Despicable." Cheng Xiongjia shouted, suddenly feeling a chilling threat from the whip and was furious.

His blade, initially aimed at Lin Yuan, now cut downward, trying to block the whip as it lashed out like a snake.

Bam!

Where the knife and whip met, sparks flew.

But the whip was flexible, the last section bent erratically, bypassing the knife to strike Cheng Xiongjia’s abdomen.

"You scoundrel, you two conspired to set this trap." Cheng Xiongjia shouted.

He withdrew his knife hurriedly and retreated, feeling an ice-cold internal energy invade his abdomen, hindering his own internal energy.

Yue Zhenhan, having plotted for so long, wasn’t about to let Cheng Xiongjia escape easily.

Whoosh.

Yue Zhenhan’s hand raised, his steel whip shot out like a spear, aimed once more at Cheng Xiongjia’s face.

Cheng Xiongjia, with his internal energy disrupted, couldn’t retreat in time. Seeing the whip aimed at his face, he could only swing his knife at it.

But like before, the whip’s last section bent unexpectedly, breaking through Cheng Xiongjia’s defenses and striking his face deeply.

Cheng Xiongjia was once again wounded, rage igniting within him. Yet he didn’t give up, he summoned his internal energy, advancing rather than retreating, attacking madly.

"Futile struggling." Yue Zhenhan saw this and laughed coldly.

Cheng Xiongjia switched to defense. Moving like the wind, he dodged left and right, each time narrowly avoiding vital strikes.

Bang, bang, bang.

Their moves were like phantoms, making it impossible to see how many exchanges occurred. Yet Yue Zhenhan’s body was covered in bloody whip marks, staining his clothes red and face dripping with sweat.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiongjia’s body was riddled with deep wounds, with a gaping hole in his waist showing moving organs beneath. Blood flowed continuously from his face, painting it red in a crazed visage.

Cheng Xiongjia had been ambushed by Yue Zhenhan, and attempts to flee were thwarted by the whip. Under disadvantage, he was pushed into a counter-offensive but couldn’t maintain this outburst for long.

Cheng Xiongjia’s knife attacks lost strength, his internal energy gradually exhausting.

"Cheng Xiongjia, die!"

Sensing his fatigue, Yue Zhenhan laughed aloud.

He suddenly leaped up, stepping on Cheng Xiongjia’s shoulder to propel himself, launching a whip strike from above.

Like a spear from the heavens, the whip pierced into Cheng Xiongjia’s back, three sections deep.

Cheng Xiongjia’s right arm, which wielded the knife, paused abruptly, his vision blurred, and he slowly fell.

Cheng Xiongjia’s world went black, and he fell silent.

"Lin Yuan, it’s good I came in time, otherwise Cheng Xiongjia would’ve succeeded," Yue Zhenhan remarked.

Seeing Cheng Xiongjia lifeless, Yue Zhenhan slowly withdrew his whip and turned to Lin Yuan, smiling as he spoke.

Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching Yue Zhenhan who had unexpectedly intervened to dispatch Cheng Xiongjia. He couldn’t help but nod internally with approval.

Yue Zhenhan seemed truly loyal, coming all this way to save his life.

But as Yue Zhenhan’s whip dangled, blood collected and dripped continuously.

With a smiling demeanour, he stepped closer, gradually approaching Lin Yuan.
