271: Come out and die! [Seeking follow-up reading]

“No, my parents know I came out,” Qing Tan whispered, twisting her small hands together.

“Why aren't you staying in the Great Yan Dynasty? What is a girl doing running out like this?” Lin Dong asked angrily.

He was really too worried, worried about all the dangers Qing Tan might encounter.

Although Qing Tan was standing in front of him now, the thought of the terrible situations that could have arisen made Lin Dong feel somewhat suffocated.

“You and Brother Lin Fan can go out and explore, so why can't I?”

Qing Tan lifted her small face, looking extremely aggrieved, “I also want to protect Dad and Mom…”

Soon, Qing Tan babbled on and on.

After listening to Qing Tan's words, Lin Dong felt a touch of emotion and relief in his heart. He rubbed his aching forehead and asked, “Dad and Mom know you came out?”

“Mm-hmm,” Qing Tan nodded repeatedly at his words.

“Alright, since Third Uncle and Third Aunt know about Qing Tan leaving, and Qing Tan has appeared before us unharmed, you shouldn't keep scolding her.”

Lin Fan saw that Lin Dong was about to ask further and casually said, “No matter what, our reunion as siblings is a happy occasion.”

Lin Dong gave a wry smile and said to Qing Tan, “Sigh, never mind. I'll let you off this time.”

“Brother Lin Fan is still the best to me.”

Upon hearing their words, Qing Tan immediately felt as if she had received a great pardon. She smiled sweetly and, very naturally, extended her arms, just as she had many years ago, and linked them with Lin Fan's.

“You,” Lin Fan rubbed Qing Tan's head, smiling and shaking his head.

Instantly, the System's wonderful voice resounded in his mind again.

“Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and received one Spirit Treasure Advancement Talisman! Note: Can be used on Spirit Treasures below Heaven Rank.”

Hmm?

This reward was rather novel.

Hearing the System's reward content, Lin Fan's heart stirred slightly, but he did not rush to check the reward.

“Guess who I am?”

At this moment, the red-haired girl, seeing that Qing Tan had passed a tribulation, also landed not far from Lin Fan and Lin Dong, saying with a giggle.

“Do I even need to guess? You must be Huo'er,” Lin Fan chuckled lightly and said.

The girl pouted at his words and said coquettishly, “That's no fun. You guessed it right away.”

Qing Tan then said, “Huo'er, you have to call Brother Lin Fan and Brother Lin Dong, just like me.”

“Okay, Sister Qing Tan,” Huo'er immediately agreed upon hearing Qing Tan's words, then greeted Lin Fan and Lin Dong separately.

“Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong, this is my Senior Brother, Chen Kui. It's thanks to his escort that I was able to come out this time.”

After a pause, Qing Tan turned her head again and introduced Chen Kui next to them to Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

“I am Lin Fan. Thank you, Brother Chen, for escorting Qing Tan,” Lin Fan cupped his hands slightly towards Chen Kui and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Dong also expressed his thanks to Chen Kui.

“I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Brother Lin Fan and Brother Lin Dong are too kind. I was just carrying out Master's orders,” Chen Kui quickly cupped his hands in return upon seeing this.

Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, and the others nearby were all somewhat stunned by this scene.

Wasn't Chen Kui a reclusive and aloof person?

Was this really reclusive and aloof?

“Master? Qing Tan, you joined a sect? What sect is it?” Lin Dong, who was nearby, asked somewhat nervously, seemingly afraid that Qing Tan had joined a sect of unknown origin.

Chen Kui chuckled at his words and said, “Our sect is not in the Eastern Xuan Region, but in the Northern Xuan Region. The sect's name is Darkness Hall. I wonder if the two Brother Lin have heard of it?”

“Darkness Hall, the overlord of the Northern Xuan Region, of course, I've heard of it,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and said.

Lin Dong, who was nearby, also felt a shock in his heart and asked Qing Tan about joining the Darkness Hall. Qing Tan did not hide anything.

Afterward, Lin Fan introduced the Dao Sect members and Qing Tan to each other.

“This is not the place for you to reminisce!” Just then, from the direction of the Yuan Gate disciples, the somewhat irritable Lei Qian roared angrily.

Yuan Cang's eyes flickered, but he did not rush to say anything.

“Qing Tan, you all go to the side first. I'll take care of a small problem,” Lin Fan said to Qing Tan, a cold glint flashing in his eyes upon hearing Lei Qian's voice.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the area where the Dao Sect was located.

Chen Kui's appearance caused subtle changes in everyone's expressions.

Facing the person ranked first on the sect's wanted list, everyone present dared not show any disrespect.

“I didn't expect even Chen Kui to appear…” Ling Qingzhu looked into the distance with her clear eyes, a subtle ripple passing through them as she murmured softly.

“Who is that girl named Qing Tan?” Wu Qun asked somewhat surprised.

“She seems to be Brother Lin Fan's younger sister. I heard them mention it before,” Su Rou looked at Qing Tan, who was very intimate with Lin Fan, a hint of envy flashing deep in her eyes.

“Is that so?” Wu Qun nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of the Yuan Gate and said, “However, even with Chen Kui's help, there is still some gap between the Dao Sect's strength and the Yuan Gate's…”

Amidst the myriad gazes, Lin Fan also slowly walked out to an open space in the center, then looked in the direction of the Yuan Gate, saying indifferently:

“Lei Qian, since you're so impatient, don't be a coward. Get out here and die!”

“Arrogant! Do you really think that winning once last time by relying on cleverness and sneak attacks means you can kill me?”

Lei Qian's anger flared upon hearing Lin Fan's direct challenge. He said sharply, “I'd like to see who dies!”

Lei Qian strode out, heading towards Lin Fan's position, and the vast Qi within his body surged out wildly!

“Creak!”

He clenched his fists, making a creaking sound. Immediately, brilliant silver Qi, like lightning, roared out from within him, enveloping his entire body!

An unusually violent fluctuation emanated!

“Boy, die!”

Lei Qian roared and stomped his foot suddenly.

Boom!

The moment Lei Qian's foot landed, it was as if thunder resounded in the air.

Then everyone saw Lei Qian's figure seemed to sway, and a bolt of lightning, as swift as a galloping thunderbolt, tore through the sky.

The lightning reached Lin Fan in an instant, and a punch imbued with violent power fiercely struck Lin Fan's chest!

Facing Lei Qian's attack, Lin Fan's expression was calm, and the vast Qi within his body roared out like a tide.

As the Qi roared, Lin Fan extended his palm, and the space above it actually rippled violently.

In the next instant, a dark void seemed to appear in space.

From within that void, an ancient and desolate aura spread out!

“Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Hand!”

Lin Fan let out a low shout in his heart and suddenly clenched his outstretched palm.

Buzz buzz!

The dark void immediately collapsed, and then, the ancient Qi became even more intense. In the darkness, the sound of rustling footsteps seemed to rise.

Then, a ray of light seemed to pierce through the darkness, appearing in that void.

A cold killing intent flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. He raised his palm and grabbed out!

The moment Lin Fan's palm grabbed out, in that void, the ray of light also raised its palm and grabbed towards the punch imbued with violent power!

Boom!

The light's strike seemed light and powerless, but the moment its palm grabbed out, the air within several hundred feet around it rapidly escaped as if under pressure.

Amidst the surging light, an ancient giant hand, hundreds of feet in size, condensed above Lin Fan's head.

The giant hand was covered with the Texture of time, spreading out like obscure and magical runes, emanating astonishing power.

“Bang!”

With its palm facing upwards, the giant hand directly shattered the terrifying lightning fist under the gaze of many onlookers!

Then, the giant hand surged forward, grabbing towards the greatly surprised Lei Qian! (End of Chapter)
