Chapter 96 - 96: Reversal
Feng Yu's eyes were still filled with rage and he was panting from beating down on Lin Fan, with a bit of foam at the corners of his mouth.
He was about to roar out, but before he could even make a sound, Lin Fan's fist had already made contact.
Lin Fan's fist landed right in the center of his chest, right in the center of his dantian. Once it made contact, it immediately shattered it and all his life energy started to scatter!
With just a single punch, Lin Fan had crippled Feng Yu!
As Feng Yu flew back from the force of Lin Fan's punch, his eyes were filled with disbelief. Even up to the last second, he couldn't believe that Lin Fan would cripple him like this!
"Lin Fan!" Feng Tu flew into a rage, but deep down he was also shocked. They were holding all the cards and Lin Fan had been so obedient up to this point, just what had changed?
Feng Tu quickly moved over to the three poles, but when he turned to look at them, he was shocked to find that they were empty and his three subordinates were nothing more than corpses on the ground.
Just what had happened?
Someone had snuck in under his senses and had killed all three subordinates without making a single sound!
Just what kind of expert would be required to do this!
If it was someone in the Platinum Realm, they must have been cultivating a speed cultivation technique to move so quickly.
But if it was someone in the Legendary Realm…
Feng Tu broke out in cold sweat when he thought of this and he quickly shook his head.
If there was a Legendary Realm Expert here, was there even a fight worth fighting?
During Feng Tu's minor breakdown, Angela had appeared by Lin Fan's side with his family.
When she saw the blood that completely covered him, she couldn't help knitting her brows, but she didn't say a single word. Angela just raised her hand and sent out a healing wind that swept over all his wounds.
In truth, Lin Fan's wounds weren't actually that serious.
No matter how it was said, in the end, Feng Yu was only in the Gold Realm. Even if he was in the peak Gold Realm and he had a Platinum Realm Artifact, Lin Fan was someone with a body comparable to the Fragmented Soul Realm!
When he had been beaten by Feng Yu, he used his life energy under his skin to create light injuries that produced blood, making it seem like he was being beaten up. In reality, he could heal himself with just a single cycle of his cultivation technique, but since Angela had already healed him, there was no need.
The only reason he had put on that play was that he had sent Angela to free his family from the beginning, all he had to do was buy time.
Even though she saw him being healed, Lin Fan's mother quickly ran forward and looked all over Lin Fan. Only when she made sure that he wasn't hurt did she calm down, but then she revealed an angry look and was about to slap him on the head.
Lin Fan just stood there to take it since he knew he deserved this, but what surprised him was that his father was the one who came forward to stop her.
Lin Ao just held his wife's hand as he stared at his son. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Do what you have to do. Sometimes a man has to keep his secrets."
Then with a pause, he said, "But you should know that you can rely on your family when you're in trouble."
Without saying another word, he fist bumped Lin Fan on his chest as he walked by, moving over to where Luo Wang and Uncle Zhang were standing, bringing his wife along with him.
Yue Qingrou clearly seemed like she had more to say, but she could tell that Lin Ao had already made up her mind. She just gave a sigh and followed her husband.
As for Lin Yue, while she seemed cold and aloof on the surface, the way she dragged her feet was clear enough to show that she was unwilling to go.
While they were walking away, Lin Fan spoke in a voice that wasn't loud or soft, but they could still hear it clearly, "I promise, I'll explain after this is all over."
Lin Ao just raised his hand and gave Lin Fan a thumbs up without turning back.
There was no need for words, this was the bond between men. This was the bond between father and son.
Meanwhile, during this time, Feng Tu had jumped off the roof and landed among the Feng Family allies.
Since they had lost their trump card, they had no choice but to fight and they would fight since they wouldn't let their family be destroyed just like this!
Feng Tu released his aura and pointed at Lin Fan, "It's fine if you take them back. I already said it before, I will kill you. Do you know what royals really are?"
Lin Fan raised a brow since he really didn't know, he only knew that the minimum requirement for becoming a royal was to have a Platinum Realm Expert, he didn't know that there were other conditions involved.
Feng Tu suddenly pulled out a sword that had a vague green outline over it.
A vague outline, that was the sign of the life energy of a Legendary Realm Expert!
This meant that this sword that he just pulled out was a Legendary Realm Artifact!
Lin Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes in vigilance when he saw this.
Feng Tu revealed a cold smile as he said, "We royals are the descendants of Legendary Realm Experts! When we're pushed into a corner, we won't go down that easy!"
Feng Tu knew that he had no other choice now, he had to bring out the family protecting artifact, otherwise there wouldn't be a family to protect!
In truth, most of the royals that were currently in this world were descendants of Legendary Realm Experts. The reason why they degraded down to royals was that while they had received the inheritances of those Legendary Realm ancestors, there was a lack of talent in the later generations. So once those Legendary Realm ancestors either passed or moved on to the upper realm, their families gradually decayed to their current state.
The Legendary Realm Expert of the Feng Family was one that was only moderately talented, reaching the Legendary Realm was already his peak. Once he passed he left behind his famous weapon, this Zephyr Blade for his family.
The Wang Family that supported Lin Fan was also one that had descended from a Legendary Realm Expert and they had their own family protecting treasure, but unfortunately it was only a single branch that was currently supporting Lin Fan right now. Even if it was the main branch of the family head, it still didn't mean they had enough authority to bring out their family protecting treasure.
So in an instant, Lin Fan's side was placed at a disadvantage.
Of course, that was only the case if they didn't include the power of Lin Fan's store.
Angela saw this and was prepared to fight Feng Tu, but Lin Fan spoke first.
He said, "Angela, Momonga, track down the ones that are fleeing right now and kill them all. I already said that we would erase them today, we won't let a single fly escape."
Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Angela knew that she could only follow his orders.
As for Momonga, he wasn't planning on interfering in the first place unless it was necessary since his cultivation technique was rather easier to see through. Moreover, most people thought that those who cultivated dark cultivation techniques were quite dirty, so they chose to avoid them.
The two of them looked at each other and jumped off in different directions with a nod.
Momonga headed off into the distance while Angela disappeared with a breeze.
As for Lin Fan he just continued staring at Feng Tu, as he said, "Well, let's start then."
Feng Tu also couldn't wait any longer, so he charged forward with his sword and a roar, slashing down at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan quickly condensed the gauntlet made of three different laws and punched out at the sword approaching him, but there was a hint of danger that made him realize his mistake.
His body was at the Fragmented Soul Realm, but the combination of laws was only at the Primary Soul Realm, while the laws that covered the sword was at the Fragmented Soul Realm, allowing it to break through his laws and his body to injure him.
Luckily Lin Fan reacted in time to twist his arm to avoid direct contact with the sword, so there was only a slight cut on his arm, but this was enough to wake Lin Fan up.
He began regretting sending Angela and Momonga away since he had realized that he had been too confident.
In the past, he had relied on his physique to push back against his opponents, but now that he had met an opponent that could break through that, he couldn't use the same strategies anymore.
For once, Lin Fan was actually in a bind.
