NOVEL WEB Chapter 400: Is He?
Drip.
Blood dripped onto the ground as the flailing arm of Huo Ren Yi slowed down and slowly went limp at his side.
Lin Fan with a tug, pulled the head of Huo Ren Yi out of his body.
Blood oozed out of the headless body like a fountain.
The headless body of Huo Ren Yi then slumped and dropped onto the ground.
"Master, stay away. Let me burn everything into ashes."
After witnessing all the eerie powers of Dark Physician Wu and the resurrection of the Dark Lord, Lin Fan felt it was safer to burn everything into ashes.
Zhang Yi Nian leaped away from Huo Ren Yi's body.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Fan gave out a roar at Huo Ren Yi's body and the piece of flesh lying on the ground.
Huo Ren Yi's body burnt as the intense heat and molten embers pelted onto it.
The piece of flesh wriggled trying to get away from the heat but couldn't do so.
It too was burnt and turned into a mass of dark ashes after a few moments.
A familiar sound then erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 4200.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 21000]
Lin Fan was glad when he saw the vengeance points.
He got 2200 for Dark Physician Wu and 2000 for Huo Ren Yi.
After he caught his breath, he took out a Heavenly Rejuvenate Pill and swallowed it.
The battles had used up most of his Qi and Energy.
Immediately he felt warmth in his dantian as the effect of the pill started to replenish his energy and Qi.
When he felt he got all his energy and Qi back, Lin Fan turned to Zhang Yi Nian and asked, "Master, what's the situation in the fighting ring now?"
Zhang Yi Nian briefed him on what he saw and heard from Qing Yang Zi.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Master, why don't we..."
Hearing Lin Fan's plan, Zhang Yi Nian nodded and got to work.
...
Moments later, in the open square.
Zhang Yi Nian walked up towards 'Lin Fan' with a hat and veil on.
"Lin Fan, come. Your master, I, have some secret technique to impart to you."
Zhao Jia Rui looked at Zhang Yi Nian, who was arching an eyebrow at her.
She didn't know what he wanted but nodded.
Her cover would be blown if she said no.
She stood up and followed Zhang Yi Nian towards a secluded part in Yi Mei Sect.
The other participants could only look on in envy.
Having your master imparting a secret technique when it mattered.
Who could have asked for more.
They gave out a long sigh and concentrated on the match that was going on.
When Zhao Jia Rui was led to the lotus garden in Yi Mei Sect, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of the lotus pond.
He was still as handsome as she remembered.
As the afternoon sun shined onto Lin Fan, it gave him a bright and warm glow.
"Lin Fan...." Zhao Jia Rui didn't know what to say as she didn't expect Lin Fan to find her.
Was he...
Was he specifically here for her?
Thoughts ran wild in her mind on all the different possibilities.
Did Lin Fan come and want her to run away with him?
But what would happen to Yi Mei Sect if she did so.
Without her master she would have died in the cold streets as an orphan.
She was brought up in Yi Mei Sect by her master and her master's dream was to let Yi Mei Sect prosper.
How could she go against that.
Lin Fan unaware of the turmoil that was going on in Zhao Jia Rui's head, gave her a smile and said, "We don't have much time. Here's what happened, so I need your help..."
Zhao Jia Rui was brought back to reality with what Lin Fan had said.
She nodded and looked up at Lin Fan, "Thanks for the help."
The threat of the Dark Lord destroying Yi Mei Sect was far more important than her arranged marriage.
She led Lin Fan to her room and asked him to wait outside.
Without delay, she took off her clothes that she was wearing and changed into her signature white robes.
When she was done, she shouted out to Lin Fan, "You can come in now."
Lin Fan pushed the door open and saw Zhao Jia Rui blushing with the clothes she was wearing in her arms.
"Here, change into this. I shall wait for you outside." Zhao Jia Rui handed the clothes over to Lin Fan and got out of her room.
"Thanks." Lin Fan took over the clothes and could feel the warmth of Zhao Jia Rui still lingering on the clothes.
He gave out a sigh, shook his head and quickly changed into the clothes.
Zhang Yi Nian who was standing outside, saw Zhao Jia Rui blushing and he narrowed his eyes.
There was something going on with these two he thought.
If only his daughter could sense the competition and buck up.
"Master, let's go." Lin Fan's voice interrupted Zhang Yi Nian's thought.
He was now in the clothes that Zhao Jia Rui was wearing earlier, and the hat and veil concealed his identity perfectly.
Lin Fan and Zhang Yi Nian then headed for the open square, while Zhao Jia Rui went to find the elder to get ready for the Yi Mei Sword Formation.
...
The Dark Lord was seated drinking his tea.
He wasn't in a good mood as time passed but there were no signs of the cultivated demonic beasts from Dark Physician Wu.
Huo Ren Yi was also nowhere in sight.
This meant only one thing and they would have to change to their backup plan.
The Iron Heart Nun gave him a nod, and she held up a broken crystal ball.
A sign that Dark Physician Wu had perished.
Without the Dark Physician Wu's cultivated demonic beasts, they would have to make do with killing Mei Hong and Qing Yang Zi instead.
