At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the horizon. Though the voice seemed calm, an attentive listener would discover it carried an endless murderous intent.
It was evident that the voice’s owner wanted someone dead.
And that person was Lin Fan, as the murderous intent was unmistakably directed at him...
Lin Fan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, then he halted, turned around, and looked toward the source of the sound.
Lin Fan was curious to see who wanted to kill him.
At that moment, Lin Fan was full of confidence. He feared no one on the Tiger List, believing that even if faced with the top expert there, he could leave composedly without being a match.
A figure dashed rapidly towards this direction.
"Is it Dongfang Li?" someone exclaimed in horror, "The top expert on the Tiger List has actually shown up?"
Usually, the experts ranked in the top five of the Tiger List were extremely mysterious. Even before the True Martial Secret Realm was opened, no one had seen the top five experts.
Dongfang Li, ranked first on the Tiger List, had actually appeared here?
Moreover, he seemed aggressively ferocious, with his murderous intent looming, and it appeared that Lin Fan was his target.
Someone couldn’t help but wonder, "Could it be that Dongfang Li and Lin Fan have a grudge?"
Dongfang Li moved incredibly fast—initially, he was still in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, he was not far across from Lin Fan.
Dongfang Li was a very handsome young man, exuding a gentle and scholarly aura, making people feel as if bathed in the spring breeze.
No one knew the true extent of Dongfang Li’s power.
But rumors had it that Dongfang Li, although only in the Wheel Vein Realm, could easily slay experts in the Elemental Mansion Realm, demanding respect from any Elemental Mansion Realm expert when they saw him.
Dongfang Li stood quietly not far across from Lin Fan, his face wearing a light smile that seemed friendly towards Lin Fan.
Those familiar with Dongfang Li knew that when he wore such a smile, it usually meant he was about to kill.
"Something the matter?"
Lin Fan looked at Dongfang Li, his eyebrows slightly creased, and said: "If there’s nothing important, I must take my leave. I don’t have time to waste here with you."
Dongfang Li still said nothing; he just looked at Lin Fan, still smiling.
However, everyone around who heard Lin Fan speak wore very peculiar expressions.
Daring to speak like that in front of Dongfang Li?
Truly courting death.
Seeing that Dongfang Li remained silent, Lin Fan didn’t bother to say more and simply turned around to leave...
Since Dongfang Li wasn’t speaking, Lin Fan really didn’t want to dawdle here, as he still planned to seek out the True Martial Spring Water to enhance his strength.
Just as Lin Fan turned to leave, Dongfang Li finally spoke.
Dongfang Li said indifferently, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Dongfang Li, and Dongfang Bai who you killed was my younger brother!"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing Dongfang Li’s words.
Dongfang Bai was Dongfang Li’s younger brother?
But why had no one heard of this before?
Upon hearing Dongfang Li’s words, Lin Fan was also somewhat surprised and understood the purpose of Dongfang Li’s visit today.
Lin Fan slowly turned around, looked at Dongfang Li, and asked, "Have you come to avenge your younger brother?"
Dongfang Li shook his head and said, "You are mistaken, I am not here for revenge."
Lin Fan was puzzled and asked, "Then you are..."
Dongfang Li said, "I am here to kill you!"
Having said this, Dongfang Li paused slightly before continuing, "Although Dongfang Bai was my younger brother, he is him, and I am me; our relationship isn’t that significant. Why should I avenge his death?"
Lin Fan looked at Dongfang Li skeptically.
To be honest, Dongfang Li’s words were somewhat convoluted, and Lin Fan was confused.
Dongfang Li glanced at Lin Fan again and continued: "However, although I am not avenging Dongfang Bai, I still have to kill you, because you killed a member of our Dongfang Family. Don’t you know, no outsider is allowed to kill members of our Dongfang Family, today I will kill you to seek justice for our Dongfang Family!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Li’s words, Lin Fan suddenly burst into laughter, a very joyful kind of laughter.
Dongfang Li looked at Lin Fan and coldly asked, "Why do you laugh?"
Lin Fan said, "I’m laughing at you. After all that talk, aren’t you still here to kill me?"
Dongfang Li nodded seriously and said, "So, you might as well stand there honestly and let me kill you!"
With that, Dongfang Li paused before adding seriously, "You know, you’re no match for me, so you might as well not resist."
Lin Fan looked at Dongfang Li and suddenly thought Dongfang Li was a fool. Honestly, Lin Fan couldn’t understand how someone like him could have become the top existence on the Tiger List.
Then, without more useless talk, Lin Fan coldly said, "Enough talk! If it’s a fight you want, let’s fight!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan moved.
The Fast Character Technique of the Combat Five-Character Technique burst forth.
In an instant, it was already in front of Dongfang Li, the spear’s speed incredibly fast.
Dongfang Li chuckled, and the next moment, he left a shadow at his original place and under very bizarre circumstances, evaded Lin Fan’s Fast Character Technique attack.
"Such incredible speed!"
Lin Fan thought with a startle in his heart: "He truly deserves to be the top presence on the Tiger List."
At this moment, Dongfang Li’s cold laughter sounded: "Kid, although your speed is fast, your strength... in front of me, it’s still weak!"
As Dongfang Li’s voice fell, Lin Fan suddenly felt a very dangerous aura locking onto him.
The next moment, Lin Fan saw an array of Sword Light suddenly appearing in the sky, sweeping towards him, the massive swathes of Sword Light as if carrying an overwhelming aura, completely locked onto Lin Fan, making him feel as if even breathing was difficult.
"Breaking Character Technique!"
Faced with such a formidable attack from Dongfang Li, Lin Fan, instead of retreating, cried out loudly and charged forward, unleashing the Breaking Character Technique of the Combat Five-Character Technique...
