Chapter 49: Chapter 49- For reals

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Killing intent.”

Killing intent from his body spread forth, suppressing Lin Fan so that he couldn’t breathe.

Lin Fan backed off towards a corner, grabbing the blade that was used as decoration. He acted calm, and with a ‘keng’ he pulled out the blade.

“This place is too narrow, let’s fight outside.”

He just directly pushed open the door and walked out before the assassin said anything.

Actually, he was panicking. He was wary of the assassin. If he attacked right away, the situation would be bad.

The moment he walked out, he ran to the courtyard. While running, he shouted.

“There is an assassin. Men! Where are all of you?”

Xiu!

A sound spread forth towards his ear. Before he was able to react, a dagger sliced off a thread of his hair, stabbing into the wall of the courtyard.

Cold sweat dripped down from Lin Fan’s forehead.

This time the assassin was different, like he was serious. The feeling of being covered in death made him terrified.

“Father, do you know that your son is about to be killed by people!”

He had never expected that a rich family son would suffer from so much danger. It was okay if he faced assassins occasionally, but he came basically every day. Was he even given a chance to live or not?

Outside, those guards that protected him all lay on the ground, not moving at all. Who knew whether they were alive or dead.

Suddenly, a cold glow struck forth, aiming right at his head.

Lin Fan rolled. The blade in his hands slashing forth. With a Keng, sparks flew. The blade and the assassin’s dagger clashed.

A strong internal strength struck forth.

Peng!

His entire arm shook from the internal strength. He rolled forwards several times to maintain a certain distance from the assassin.

However, in the blink of an eye, the assassin appeared in front of him just as he stood still. The dagger circled in his palm and slashed right at his throat.

He was just too quick.

Even if he had trained Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique to the highest realm, his actual battle experience was too little.

His body reacted instinctively. In front of huge danger, shocking potential exploded out.

Even then, a wound was left on his neck as blood seeped out.

It was really shallow.

An external wound.

“I will really die.” Lin Fan touched the wound. It didn’t hurt. It should be because his physique rose to Martial Path Grade Three, which raised his tolerance for pain.

His body was covered in cold sweat.

This was real, and this guy was serious.

This was the Lin Manor back courtyard and should be really safe. However, for some reason, Lin Fan felt like there was no place for him to hide.

The enemy was able to appear beside him in the shortest time.

“I have to be serious. If I am careless and he kills me, that would be a huge loss.” Lin Fan held his blade tightly. He lowered his body and reduced the amount of weak points presented.

Although the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique was a basic blade technique, it shouldn’t be underestimated. He was at the Returning to True Realm, using the simplest method to cause the most damage.

Peng!

Just as he was stunned, the assassin attacked him once more. The dagger in his hands shone brightly under the moonlight.

“Let’s hope the commotion here will be able to attract other people’s attention.”

Lin Fan took in a deep breath and then hollered.

“Vengeful Tiger!”

A thin amount of internal strength spread onto the blade. A black tiger roared, and he slashed towards the assassin.

Keng!

They clashed, giving rise to a low clang in the back courtyard.

“Too slow, too many weaknesses.”

Just as Lin Fan thought that he was able to hold on, the assassin said. His voice was really low. Instantly, the assassin turned his body, slashing towards the blade. He reached the blade handle and sliced down.

Puchi!

The side of Lin Fan’s body was slashed, his clothes ripped open. Blood seeped out, and his clothes were dyed red.

Si!

It was so painful!

The pain of his skin being ripped apart made Lin Fan frown.

The assassin didn’t stop, striking him from the back. If he was stabbed, the outcome would be catastrophic; it might even cause a lethal injury.

“Despicable!” Lin Fan hollered and turned his head. He raised the blade in his hand and blocked the stab.

Peng!

The enemy’s internal strength was just too much.

The strength that exploded out was too strong.

Lin Fan instantly flew out, his back smacking onto the ground. A fiery pain filled him.

“So strong, he is so much stronger than me.”

Add points.

At such a moment, he didn’t think about anything, directly adding rage points to internal strength.

Internal Strength: 90 (Martial Path Grade Three)

At the same time, he raised the Purple Sun Four Saint Scripture, consuming a thousand rage points.

Heart Cultivation: Purple Sun Four Saint Scripture (Grade Two)

Once it improved, a shocking change occurred in his body. The internal strength within became thicker.

The internal strength of the Purple Sun Four Saint Scripture started to rotate, and it actually started to heal his injuries.

The assassin was slightly shocked when he noticed the changes from Lin Fan’s body.

He broke through?

He just needed to test him to find out.

Peng!

The assassin lowered his body like a swallow, dashing at Lin Fan with his center of gravity held low. The dagger in his hands was covered in a thin light.

“Too much.” Lin Fan was furious as he slashed.

This blade was totally different from before.

A purple glow covered the blade once more. Although it was thin, it was truly there. The aura it gave out was much stronger than before.

Keng!

They clashed.

Although Lin Fan noticed that this blade was much stronger than before, he didn’t feel like he couldn’t block it.

The assassin who wore a mask slowed slightly. To an expert, this was a weakness.

He waited for a moment.

However, Lin Fan didn’t notice it.

The assassin’s expression was furious. His dagger shook a little to push the blade aside. He then waved his hands, the tip slashing Lin Fan’s chest. More blood splashed out.

“What a waste. You broke through, shocking me and making me expose my weakness. However, you didn’t take the chance.”

The assassin didn’t talk nonsense with Lin Fan. His dagger was like a poisonous snake, traceless and ethereal. It was hard to pinpoint where it would come from.

After a long while, Lin Fan pressed onto the ground with one hand. He panted. His body was covered in wounds, and his clothes were dyed red.

He had tried his best.

However, he wasn’t the assassin’s opponent.

Suddenly, a voice spread from afar.

“Damn assassin, to dare to cause trouble in the Lin Manor!” Old Wu attacked, he spread his five fingers to grab the assassin.

The assassin glanced at Lin Fan before instantly disappearing.

“I will return.”

Old Wu landed beside Lin Fan, “Young Master, are you okay?”

Lin Fan’s body was covered in sweat. He panted, “Look at me! Do I look okay?

“We fought for so long, why did you only come now?”

When he said that, he exerted too much stamina and fainted.

…

Reading room.

“Is that unfilial child okay?” Lin Wanyi asked.

Old Wu replied, “I sent people to take care of him. He used too much energy and is unconscious.”

He then thought about something.

“Old Master, you were a little too vicious this time.”

He really didn’t expect Old Master to not be soft, to actually cause so many wounds. Although they were external injuries, the loss of blood was dangerous.

Lin Wanyi said expressionlessly, “Only when one is faced with death will one breakthrough one’s limits. That unfilial kid could behave playfully in the past. Only now will he pay close attention and treat the assassinations seriously.”

“The effect is not bad.”

“He broke through in the battle.”

Old Wu could only pray for Young Master to hold on.

Old Master was serious this time.
