It was nighttime in Qingstone Village. Lin Bufan walked along the path, his steps steady like an old dog's. The moonlight cast an angle on his calm expression. He had just come down from the martial arts platform, and the whole village had yet to react to how a "waste" could turn things around overnight. But some people could no longer sit still."Take action! Don't let him see the sun tomorrow," the third elder of the Lin family whispered fiercely.
At the edge of the mountains and woods, two men in black swiftly dashed out. Their blades flashed as they aimed straight for Lin Bufan's back.
Lin Bufan's steps did not falter. It was as if he had known about the ambush all along.
[Ding! Emergency system mission triggered: Retaliate against the assassins!
[Reward: Spiritual Awareness Enhancement + Mental Strength Awakening + Martial Skill "Shadow Kill: Split Vein."
[Note: Completing the retaliation will publicly expose the mastermind's location.]
Lin Bufan's eyes turned icy.
"So, you guys really killed it."
He turned sideways and took three steps in a row.
Shadow Steps!
He flashed in front of one of the people dressed in black as if he had teleported. He reached out with his palm and grabbed his throat fiercely!
Click!
The man's throat bone shattered, and his body flew out.
Another man in black was frightened and tried to flee, but Lin Bufan raised his right hand.
"Shadow Kill: Rift."
A pitch-black sword shadow broke through the air like a thunderbolt, instantly piercing the opponent's chest.
The two died violently on the spot.
[Ding! Mission accomplished! Reward distribution..."
The mastermind behind the scenes has been located: Lin Huaifeng, the third elder of the Lin family."
The next second, the system projected the three blood-red characters "Lin Huaifeng" into the night sky.
"What?!"
"Lin Huaifeng? Was it the Third Elder who sent someone to kill him?! "
The whole village was shocked, and the elder hall instantly became chaotic.
Lin Bufan slowly walked into the clan hall, carrying the body of the man in black.
He threw the body on the ground and said lightly,
"Did you send this?"
The three elders calmed down forcefully. "You spew blood!" "Who knows whose these two are?"
"Really?"
Lin Bufan raised his hand and shot out a spiritual light.
The Lin family's unique spirit talisman was displayed on the back of the corpse.
The audience exploded.
"This... This is the Lin family's internal seal! Only clansmen can wear it!" "
It's really the Third Elder who did it!"
Lin Huaifeng's face turned pale, and he became furious. "You little brute! I'll—"
Lin Bufan raised his hand slightly, and a black light shot out. "Crack Vein" reappeared!
There was a click, and one of Lin Huaifeng's arms was cut off, spraying blood wildly.
"Ah——!!!"
Lin Bufan stood in front of Lin Huaifeng, looking down.
"Want to kill me? Then you have to consider how many heads you have."
Lin Bufan stood in front of him and looked down.
"Want to kill me? Then you have to consider how many heads you have." "
[Ding! Complete the System Forced Counterattack Mission."
All attributes improved, and the realm broke through to the fourfold level of qi training.
[Activated by Killing Intent. New passive: "Killing Heart Refining Soul": Every time you kill an enemy, your divine soul is enhanced."
Lin Bufan turned around and left, leaving behind these heart-shattering words:
"You looked down on me when I was worthless, so now just close your eyes and watch me rise."
