185: Chapter 185 Duoduo's Disappearance
Lin Fan immediately stepped forward to support her.
"Mom, what happened?"
He asked anxiously.
Upon seeing her son, a glimmer of clarity finally returned to Xia Yue's eyes.
"Lin Duo... Lin Duo has been kidnapped."
She barely managed to finish before breaking down into loud sobs.
A cold light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes; he immediately calmed her down and asked her to tell him exactly what happened.
With great effort, he finally managed to soothe Xia Yue.
Only then did she haltingly explain everything that had occurred an hour ago, along with the information she had gathered.
Just then, Lin Jian arrived with Alliance Law Enforcement Personnel officers. He spotted the mother and son and rushed over immediately.
The moment he drew near, he felt a bone-chilling cold...
It was an incredibly intense Killing Intent emanating from Lin Fan's body.
This Killing Intent was so powerful that even Lin Jian and the accompanying officers were deeply shaken.
"Lin Fan..."
Lin Jian called out softly.
Lin Fan turned to look at him, his gaze as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier.
He handed the sobbing Xia Yue over to Lin Jian and spoke calmly:
"Wait here."
Just as he was about to leave, an Alliance Law Enforcement Personnel officer stepped forward to block him.
"Kid, don't do anything impulsive..."
Lin Fan looked at the man expressionlessly.
"Move."
His tone was as heavy as a falling meteor.
The officer shuddered and reflexively stepped aside, his body trembling with fear...
The pressure Lin Fan exerted was like that of a high-tier Demonic Beast on a rampage!
Without another word, Lin Fan walked straight away and soon vanished from sight.
The Alliance Law Enforcement Personnel officers looked at each other; no one dared to stop him again.
The aura he exuded was far too dangerous.
Lin Fan went into an empty restroom.
His eyes turned silver-white as Star Power gathered and took shape frantically around him.
"Seamless Space Perception."
Lin Fan murmured.
The Spell activated instantly, and the pressure of a Tier 6 Mage swept through the entire Arena.
Every mage in the city who had reached Tier 5 felt it...
And two of them were currently inside the Arena.
They were none other than Wei Yuan and Yun Wei.
The two of them immediately sensed the fluctuations of this Spell.
Their gazes sharpened, and in a flash, they appeared in the restroom.
But it was empty.
At the same time.
Relying on Void Walk, Lin Fan appeared in front of a warehouse. His eyes still glowed with a silver-white light as Seamless Space Perception continued to operate.
He could see... his sister was inside, along with a group of Death Soldiers!
The warehouse was located in a remote part of Baiyun City, far from the Arena. A van with dark windows was parked outside.
Lin Fan deactivated the Spell and walked slowly toward the warehouse.
Boom!
He kicked the warehouse door; the iron gate shattered instantly, alerting the people inside.
With the door destroyed, the interior of the warehouse was completely exposed.
In the center, an unconscious Lin Duo was suspended in mid-air, her wrists bound by iron chains.
Her face was bruised, her clothes were torn, and the wounds on her back were bleeding continuously... She had clearly been whipped, her flesh torn open.
She had either fainted from the pain or lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Lin Fan remained silent, his neck turning stiffly to the side as he looked at five burly men.
They were also staring at him in shock.
Three held long whips, while the other two sat in a corner smoking.
"Where did this brat come from? He even tore down the door?"
One of them spoke ferociously.
"Must be the girl's brother. How did he get here so fast?"
"Doesn't matter. We'll just catch him too, hehe."
"What did you do to her?"
Lin Fan spoke, his voice low yet clearly reaching the ears of the five men.
He could tell that these people hadn't had the chance to do anything more vile yet; it was only the whipping.
"Heh, what do you mean 'what did we do'? We've only just begun. The real fun is yet to come. Don't worry, you'll see it all very clearly."
The man with the cigarette grinned hideously, his expression crazed.
The two smoking men were First-Order Mages.
Their Level-measuring devices were still on, identifying Lin Fan as only a Tier 1, so they thought they could easily take him down.
"Hehe, this kid is actually quite good-looking, a rare find."
One of the men with a whip clicked his tongue, and his free hand actually reached toward Lin Duo's chest.
Seeing this, a red light suddenly flashed in the depths of Lin Fan's eyes.
Whoosh!
A gale suddenly rose, and he vanished from the shattered doorway instantly.
A second later, he appeared beside Lin Duo. His hand moved like lightning, firmly gripping the man's wrist before he could touch her.
All five burly men were stunned, turning their heads in shock...
The youth had appeared beside the unconscious girl at some unknown moment and was now gripping their companion's hand.
How could he possibly be this fast?!
The man whose wrist was caught was both surprised and terrified, feeling the grip on his wrist like an iron pincer, unable to move an inch.
As the grip tightened, agonizing pain surged.
"Take your filthy hand... away."
Lin Fan spoke each word deliberately, his voice icy.
As his voice fell.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bone snapping rang out.
Lin Fan exerted sudden force, directly crushing the man's wrist. Flesh exploded, and blood splattered.
"Ah...!"
The man let out a heart-wrenching scream and stumbled back.
Clutching his bloody, mangled hand, his pupils trembling, he stared at Lin Fan with a mix of hatred and fear.
Lin Fan's expression remained calm as he casually flicked away the bits of flesh in his hand and turned to look at Lin Duo.
Seeing this, the remaining four men immediately stood up and assumed combat stances.
"He's a mage. Don't get close; we'll handle him."
A fierce light gleamed in the eyes of the two First-Order Mages.
But Lin Fan ignored them completely. He reached out and grabbed the iron chains suspending Lin Duo, snapping them with a sudden burst of strength, and gently caught his falling sister.
Seeing Lin Duo's unconscious face, the bruises and palm prints, and the sticky blood on her hands...
Lin Fan's expression darkened completely.
"I'm sorry."
He whispered softly, filled with self-reproach, as if all of this were his own fault.
Boom...!
A violent surge of Tier 6 Saint Mage magic power suddenly erupted from within Lin Fan. A gale swept out, and a shockwave radiated in all directions.
The warehouse walls, roof, and even buildings within a five-hundred-meter radius were instantly leveled to the ground.
Everything was destroyed, exposed to the light of day.
Fortunately, this area was the private property of the Su Family, and there were very few people within the range of the impact.
But those people were also sent flying by the shockwave.
The five men from the warehouse were also blown away, slamming heavily onto the ground several meters away.
The three ordinary men who weren't mages were instantly disintegrated into a bloody mist by the shockwave.
The two First-Order Mages were critically injured and on the verge of death, yet they still had a breath left in them.
Lin Fan didn't intentionally set out to kill everyone; he simply had no heart to care about them at this moment, and he had another purpose for releasing his full power.
In the commercial district, Qing Yu was lazily leaning on the counter, trying to read a book.
As a Demonic Beast, she naturally had no interest in reading, but she had gradually grown accustomed to staying at Lin Fan's home and didn't want to leave, so she wanted to learn something to pass the time.
Lin Jian had already left, leaving her alone in the shop, staring blankly at the book.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended.
She snapped her head up, her pupils shrinking as she felt an instinctive fear.
She recognized this aura... it was Lin Fan!
Before she could even wonder what had caused him to unleash his full power within the city without restraint...
A voice rang out directly in her mind.
