469: With me here, no one can hurt you! [Please read more]

"Whoosh!"

Just then, an incredibly urgent sound of air being torn suddenly echoed sharply across the world.

Those astonished gazes looked up, only to see the space distort in the distance, and a figure, like a teleportation, swiftly approaching.

Boom!

The Demonic Blade also struck down with a roar at this moment, instantly cracking the earth, and massive fissures, like a spiderweb, spread out.

Countless horrified gazes turned towards where the dust was spreading, and many Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace lost their last hope, their eyes instantly dimming.

"Senior Sister."

Su Rou slowly knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the distant area. However, in her daze, she saw that as the dust dissipated, there was an intact patch of ground on the cracked earth.

And on that ground, a tall figure in green stood, one hand around Ling Qingzhu's slender waist, safe and sound.

Around their bodies, there seemed to be an invisible spatial barrier, firmly protecting them.

"Is that... Lin... Brother Lin Fan?"

Su Rou stared blankly at the somewhat familiar figure. The next moment, an expression of disbelief and extreme ecstasy emerged on her pretty face.

Ling Qingzhu's beautiful eyes looked at the young figure beside her, her pearly teeth biting her red lips, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Feeling the warmth of the large hand on her waist, her heart stirred.

"Leave the rest to me. With me here, no one can harm you!" Lin Fan slightly turned his head, looking at the graceful figure beside him, and said softly.

Listening to Lin Fan's gentle voice, at this moment, even with Ling Qingzhu's usual coldness, an indescribable surge of emotion welled up to her upturned nose, and tears began to gather in her eyes.

Ling Qingzhu looked at the figure before her, thinking of their complicated relationship and all their past experiences, her thoughts couldn't help but become a little chaotic.

And as her thoughts were in disarray, the young man beside her seemed to bend down and then lifted her into his arms.

The momentary lift from the ground made Ling Qingzhu's mind go blank for an instant. After she regained consciousness, she began to struggle fiercely.

"Don't move," Lin Fan exerted a little more force, his tone brooking no refusal.

Ling Qingzhu's delicate body stiffened slightly. She looked up slightly at the face before her, which was even more mature than three years ago. She bit her silver teeth, and whether it was due to her injuries or not, she eventually stopped struggling. Only her tightly clenched jade hands showed some of the turmoil in her heart.

"Brother Lin Fan, it's really you! You're back! I knew you would definitely come back!"

Su Rou and many other Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace stared blankly at the young man who was slowly walking towards them while holding Ling Qingzhu. After a long while, she suddenly came back to her senses, and an unconcealable look of ecstasy immediately surged onto her pretty face.

Lin Fan, holding Ling Qingzhu, stopped in front of Su Rou. Looking at the young girl's surprised face, he smiled and said, "You did well."

Next, the two sides naturally exchanged pleasantries, and the Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace all expressed concern for Ling Qingzhu's injuries.

"Take good care of your Senior Sister Qingzhu," Lin Fan said softly as he placed Ling Qingzhu beside Su Rou, looking at the approaching Yuan Gate members.

"Brother Lin Fan, be careful, Grand Elder Lu Feng of Yuan Gate is very strong," Su Rou bit her red lips, warning Lin Fan.

Ling Qingzhu's eyes were fixed on Lin Fan. After a slight hesitation, she also whispered, "Be careful."

Lin Fan nodded slightly. Under the nervous gazes of countless Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace behind him, he slowly stepped forward. He looked up at Grand Elder Lu Feng of Yuan Gate, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with Yuan Gate's affairs?" Lu Feng stared at Lin Fan with a sinister expression, his voice indifferent.

"Not only will I interfere with Yuan Gate's affairs, but I will also destroy Yuan Gate!" Lin Fan said with a smile, the killing intent in his words completely undisguised.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, several Elders of Yuan Gate swept to his side and said, "Grand Elder, this person seems to be Lin Fan of Dao Sect!"

"Oh?" Lu Feng was surprised. He then sized up Lin Fan. "So it's you, that vicious brat. You escaped the Eastern Xuan Region for three years, and now you have the guts to come back? Today, I'll just get rid of you, this scourge, for Yuan Gate!"

Lin Fan said indifferently, "Coincidentally, I wasn't planning on letting you go either. Consider this an early collection of interest!"

"Brat, you're courting death!"

An Elder of Yuan Gate was enraged, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. The next moment, his figure shot out. As vast Yuan Qi swept forth, his momentum was astonishing. A fierce punch, containing his full power, directly tore through the sky and violently blasted towards Lin Fan.

With a single punch, even the ground was torn open with a massive crack.

However, facing his fierce offensive, Lin Fan's eyes, fixed on Lu Feng, didn't even move.

It wasn't until the Yuan Gate Elder's attack reached him that Lin Fan raised his palm and gently clenched it.

In an instant, a flaming long spear appeared in his hand. At the tip of the spear, flames surged, forming a fiery vortex!

Lin Fan lightly waved his palm, and the flaming long spear fiercely thrust out!

Boom!

Space shattered. The flaming long spear, trailing a dazzling fiery tail, instantly pierced through the punch print unleashed by the Yuan Gate Elder. The punch print immediately exploded, turning into energy and dissipating.

Please... collect... 6... books...!

Before the Yuan Gate Elder could react, the flaming long spear fiercely pierced his chest!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, before the Yuan Gate Elder could even scream, his body was instantly ignited and exploded by the berserk flame power. Even his Primordial Spirit was incinerated into nothingness in an instant!

In just a few breaths, a super powerhouse of the Reincarnation Realm was completely annihilated.

Such ruthless and decisive methods were undoubtedly several levels above Ling Qingzhu's previous actions.

"This..."

The faces of the Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, who had been watching the battle in front, were filled with shock. Their gazes at the tall figure were as if they had seen a ghost.

Ling Qingzhu was able to reach that level because she had received the Legacy of the Palace Master, but this Lin Fan, after being missing for three years, returned to be so terrifying?

"Brother Lin Fan is so strong!" Su Rou pulled Ling Qingzhu's arm, her pretty face filled with excitement.

Ling Qingzhu looked at the figure who had easily annihilated a Reincarnation powerhouse, her eyes slightly complex. She sighed inwardly, several years had passed, and he had finally surpassed her...

"Next, it's your turn," Lin Fan said with a smile, clapping his hands, and then looked at the Elders of Yuan Gate in the sky.

Lu Feng stared at Lin Fan with a gloomy expression. The sneer in his eyes gradually faded, and he dispelled his underestimation of Lin Fan.

"It seems you have indeed become much stronger in these three years. However, with just this, if you want to destroy my Yuan Gate, I'm afraid you're still a bit naive," Lu Feng said with an icy gaze.

A terrifying killing intent spread out. Towering Devilish Qi gathered with Yuan Qi, surging like a vast ocean behind Lu Feng. Then, his palm chopped down, and the towering Devilish Qi transformed into a thousand-zhang blade light, fiercely slashing towards Lin Fan!

"Great Heavenly Yuan Slash!"

As soon as Lu Feng made his move, he displayed astonishing strength far exceeding the other Elders of Yuan Gate. The Disciples of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace behind him were also greatly alarmed, their hearts suspended in their chests. (End of this chapter)
