Fang Lin reacted quickly, launching a kick to send the dumbfounded Dugu Nian flying away.

The five men from the Li family did not pay any attention to Dugu Nian, apparently aware of her background and dared not to offend her. Their only target was Fang Lin.

Fang Lin’s feet moved swiftly as he applied the Nine Heavens Step Skill, escaping easily from the encirclement of the five men, as evasive as a ghost.

The five men were shocked. They had locked down any possible escape routes for Fang Lin, seemingly placing him in a deadly situation.

Yet, Fang Lin still managed to make a hard breakaway.

Beyond their surprise, the five men did not hesitate to continue their pursuit of Fang Lin.

“The Li family dispatched five Earth Element cultivators to kill me, but this is not enough!” sneered Fang Lin internally. His body moved like a shadow, eluding any attempts to trace him, playing with the five Li family members at will.

Elsewhere, Huang Yongtian was engaged in battle with an elderly man from the Li family. Both individuals were evenly matched but Huang Yongtian’s fierce knife skills, combined with his prime physical condition, gave him an advantage over the old man whose strength was waning with age.

The elderly man from the Li family relied on his vast experience and a powerful weapon to fight Huang Yongtian.

The older Li family member was becoming increasingly anxious. Although he had anticipated that the Pill Alliance would send escorts for Fang Lin, he did not expect them to assign such a formidable guard.

Moreover, Fang Lin’s strength also surprised him.

Could anyone believe that five Earth Element practitioners from the Li family, joining forces, still could not capture Fang Lin?

The reality was just this. Despite being powerful and skilled, they just could not land a single blow on the elusive Fang Lin.

The elderly man from the Li family regretted his underestimation of Fang Lin and the importance the Pill Alliance placed on him.

If he had known, he would have requested more reinforcements from his family.

In fact, the Li family had sent reinforcements, but the elderly man thought it unnecessary. Thus, he sent them away, believing himself and his five relatives to be sufficient.

Now it was too late to say anything. Although the situation was unexpected, it was still under control and there was still a chance to kill Fang Lin.

Dugu Nian was kicked away by Fang Lin, grimacing in pain. However, seeing Fang Lin encircled by five men, she put aside her resentment to worry about him.

She was eager to help but with her low realm of cultivation, not even reaching Earth Element level, rushing forward would be suicidal.

Now, with Fang Lin being chased by five men, despite his Nine Heavens Step Skill and wind-controlling ability, the situation was fraught with dangers.

The Li family members were pleasantly surprised to find that Fang Lin’s movement seemed to slow down a bit. They believed that his special techniques must consume a lot of energy and he would not be able to keep it up for long.

“Prepare to die, Fang Lin!” The five men shouted. Four scattered, trying to restrict Fang Lin’s movements, while the fifth one charged, aiming a direct stab at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin appeared panicked, apparently caught off guard by their coordinated attack. The sword, inevitably aimed at his chest, was almost unavoidable.

At the moment when the Li family member revealed a sinister smile, Fang Lin’s mouth curled into a smirk. His left hand, holding a long sword, suddenly struck out from an elusive angle, like a venomous snake, taking anyone by surprise.

The Li family member was taken aback, completely unprepared for Fang Lin’s swift sword move.

Without any time to react or dodge, Fang Lin’s longsword pierced directly through the man’s throat.

Securing a successful attack, Fang Lin shifted quickly, instantly freeing himself from the remaining four men’s onslaught. With a leisurely step, he appeared composed.

The Li family member, whose throat was pierced, swayed, his longsword falling weakly. Blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Thud!

The Li family member fell to the ground, twitching for a moment before drawing his last breath.

The rest of the members were filled with rage, their eyes nearly bursting.

The elderly man from the Li family, witnessing this scene from afar, was boiling with anger, as if his heart was bleeding.

The deceased was a trained warrior of the Li family, an Earth Element cultivator, never to be undervalued. To lose such a man was a great loss, and it would take at least five to six years to train another.

What was supposed to be a foolproof assassination had now resulted in the loss of one of his own without killing Fang Lin. The elderly man from the Li family was furious and launched a desperate attack on Huang Yongtian.

Huang Yongtian noticed that Fang Lin was not only able to protect himself but had also killed a member of the Li family. He applauded Fang Lin’s good moves. Seeing the elderly Li family member intensify his attack, he sharpened his focus and his knife skills became more aggressive.

Dugu Nian, watching from a distance, let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Fang Lin’s prowess.

“This bastard is so powerful, making me worry for nothing,” muttered Dugu Nian, complaining internally.

With one of their members killed by Fang Lin, the pressure was notably reduced. The other four were shocked by Fang Lin’s sudden strike, their future attacks shadowed by a sense of hesitation.

With their hesitation, the table began to turn more towards Fang Lin’s favor.

Previously, being attacked by five, it was challenging for Fang Lin to counter. He had no choice but to feign vulnerability.

Now, one was down and their encirclement was broken. The remaining four being apprehensive, their attacks were markedly restrained.

As a result, Fang Lin was no longer on the defensive, but actively striking.

Fang Lin’s sword was swift – something the four men didn’t expect from a Pill Refiner.

As Fang Lin battled against four men, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage. The four even felt a little overwhelmed.

Fang Lin’s sword was simple and direct, targetting vital points with speed and ruthlessness.

The four men were merely able to defend themselves without posing any substantial threat to Fang Lin.

A scream rang out and another Li family member was hit.

However, it was not Fang Lin’s sword but a green dagger in his right hand that had grazed the skin of one man’s hand.

Although it was just a scratch, the man’s face turned pale in no time. A black aura emanated from his wound and rapidly spread across his body, turning his entire arm black.

“Poison!” The others cried out in horror and auicklv backed awav.

The Li family member who was poisoned tried to sever his arm to save himself. However, before he could act, the black aura spread past his shoulder and reached his chest.

It was too late for anything by then. The poisoned Li family member collapsed on the ground, screaming in agony and helplessness..
