Chapter 6: The Might of a Spear

Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The Might of a Spear"This..." Fang Mingjie's face finally started looking somewhat unpleasant. If dodging his first sword strike could be considered luck, then dodging the second one certainly couldn't be attributed to luck anymore. Fang Mingjie finally understood that Lin Fan was not ordinary. Fang Mingjie stopped his attack and looked at Lin Fan, saying, "Rumors paint you as a waste; it seems that the rumor was a mistake. Have you been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along?" Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I'm not playing the pig to eat the tiger, rather, you're just too weak; your attacks are also too slow." "Is that so?" Fang Mingjie suddenly burst into laughter, appearing quite content, "Perhaps, you won't think so for much longer." As he spoke, Fang Mingjie slowly raised the longsword in his hand, formidable energy directly infused into it; the longsword began to roar as if it had come to life. At the same time, waves of Sword Intent sprayed out directly from the longsword. "A Second-Order Spirit Sword? Fang Mingjie's longsword is actually a Second-Order Spirit Sword? The City Lord Mansion truly is wealthy and powerful!" Many gasped in astonishment. You should know that in the entire Heavenly Martial City, a Second-Order Spirit Sword is an incredible treasure, something which many elder cultivators couldn't possess; and now, Fang Mingjie, a junior, was actually equipped with a Second-Order Spirit Sword, naturally stirring shock and envy in others. Fang Mingjie then said, "Next, I will use my strongest sword strike. With this sword, I have once slain a cultivator half-step into the Profound Realm, so, you might as well accept your death obediently!" The so-called half-step into the Profound Realm refers to an expert who has almost stepped into the Into Profound Realm. It is widely known that the gap between half-step into the Profound and the Initial Profound Realm is immense, to say the least, a half-step into the Profound cultivator can easily slay dozens of cultivators at Great Perfection of Initial Profound Realm. And Fang Mingjie, he actually managed to slay half-step into the Profound experts with this sword? It's enough to say that Fang Mingjie's sword strike is very powerful, extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, after hearing Fang Mingjie's words, Lin Fan's face still carried a color of calmness; he looked at Fang Mingjie and indifferently said, "Come then." The simple two words showed Lin Fan's disregard for Fang Mingjie. Fang Mingjie became even more enraged, constantly sneering, "Indeed arrogant. Then, go to your death!" "Life and Death Reincarnation!" With a fierce shout from Fang Mingjie, as his sword cleaved through, all the surrounding Sword Light and everything else disappeared; within the surrounding space, it seemed as if a Reincarnation Channel had appeared, and after this Reincarnation Channel appeared, it swept directly towards Lin Fan. No wonder he could slay half-step into Profound experts, this sword strike of his is so formidable?" Someone exclaimed in shock. Others didn't speak, but their faces showed a look of sympathy. They thought Lin Fan was doomed to die. The Reincarnation Channel suddenly arrived in front of Lin Fan. It seemed that in the next moment, the Reincarnation Channel would completely devour Lin Fan. Once Lin Fan was swallowed by the Reincarnation Channel, by then, he would truly be left with only one path, death. Just when everyone thought that Lin Fan was certain to be engulfed by the Reincarnation Channel, in front of the Reincarnation Channel, suddenly emerged a flicker of Spear Light. This flicker of Spear Light was very faint, only the size of a spark. At the same time, Lin Fan's voice also rang out: "One Element Soul-snatching Spear." It turned out Lin Fan had deployed the "Soul Essence Spear Technique." The Soul Essence Spear Technique had a total of ten moves, and currently, Lin Fan had only mastered the first one. After the spark-like Spear Light appeared, although everyone felt the Spear Light was too insignificant, deep inside they had an illusion that this flicker of Spear Light was not ordinary. "Haha!" Fang Mingjie laughed heartily, loudly saying, "This is truly hilarious, with your spark-like spear light? You wish to break through my Reincarnation Channel? That is an absolute joke, haha, I..." But before Fang Mingjie had finished speaking, all the smiles on his face suddenly froze. Because he was shocked to find that his Reincarnation Channel, when faced with the starlike spear light from Lin Fan, collapsed as easily as rotten wood. At the same time, Fang Mingjie only felt a surging pressure sweeping directly towards him, as if it came from the primordial era, making Fang Mingjie feel like he couldn't catch his breath. "Damn it, what the hell is this pressure? Could it be? Does this bastard's attack actually carry such pressure?" Fang Mingjie thought in shock. What Fang Mingjie didn't know was that it wasn't Lin Fan's attack that carried the pressure, but Lin Fan's Ancient Martial Soul that always had it. The starlike spear light floated towards Fang Mingjie. Fang Mingjie could only watch helplessly as the spear light approached; he couldn't dodge at all. Pfft... Eventually, the starlike spear light pierced through Fang Mingjie's heart. That wasn't all. To his sorrow, Fang Mingjie found that after the spear light pierced his heart, it began to destroy wildly within, and in an instant, Fang Mingjie's heart was torn to shreds. "You... you..." Fang Mingjie pointed at Lin Fan, wanting to say something, but he couldn't get the words out as blood gushed from his mouth, mingling with fragments of his heart. All the people below were shocked by the scene on the stage. They had never dreamed that the fight would end this way. Before, they all unanimously thought that Lin Fan would be no match for Fang Mingjie. Fang Mingjie's body slowly fell, and he died like that. However, up until his death, Fang Mingjie's eyes were wide open, truly dying with lingering resentment. Looking at Fang Mingjie's corpse, Lin Fan said very indifferently, "Honestly, I didn't want to kill you. But since you proposed a fight to the death, it shows that you were intent on killing me. My killing you was merely to avoid further trouble." After speaking, Lin Fan turned and slowly left the stage. At this point, everyone's look towards Lin Fan had become somewhat different. Before, Lin Fan was nothing but a nobody in their eyes. But through the display just now, they finally realized that Lin Fan was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. Lin Fan did not pay attention to the crowd and went straight to the Lin Family Head Lin Zhenxiong's room. Lin Zhenxiong stood with his back to the window, hands behind. After Lin Fan entered, Lin Zhenxiong said, "Lin Fan, what you did just now was really too impulsive." "Oh?" Lin Fan looked at the back of Lin Zhenxiong and uttered only a word. Lin Zhenxiong continued, "Fang Mingjie, he's the son of the City Lord Mansion. By killing him so brazenly, you've slapped the face of the City Lord Mansion. Before, with your father in charge, they didn't dare to act rashly. But now, with your father's situation being uncertain, they surely won't let things go." Lin Fan said nonchalantly, "The only reason I killed Fang Mingjie was to avoid future troubles." "Troubles?" Lin Zhenxiong suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you understand that by killing Fang Mingjie, you're inviting even more trouble?" When Lin Zhenxiong said this, his eyes were fixed tightly on Lin Fan as if trying to see through him.
