"Must kill me?" Linlong could not help but smile before he shook his head. "That's impossible."
The nonchalant expression on Linlong's face infuriated Lei Peng. He said coldly, "Cut the crap, kid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the force in his body and attacked Linlong with his sword.
Lei Shan, who was beside him, also attacked with his sword.
As for Linlong, he used Wu Lin's sword technique.
Bang, bang, bang …
In just a short while, the three of them exchanged five or six blows. How could Linlong still be as relaxed as before? He was completely suppressed by the two of them.
This did not surprise Linlong. After all, the two of them were of a higher cultivation level than him. Coupled with the fact that the two of them were working together, it was already impressive that he could last this long while using Wu Lin's sword technique.
Lei Peng and Lei Shan were naturally amazed by Linlong's strength. They knew that if they did not kill Linlong tonight, they might not have another chance in the future. Therefore, they did not hold back at all.
After exchanging a few more blows, Lei Peng seized an opportunity to send Linlong flying with his sword.
This was a good opportunity to kill Linlong. Therefore, Lei Shan, who was closest to Linlong, rushed toward Linlong before Lei Peng did.
While in mid-air, he slashed at Linlong with his sword.
At this moment, Lin Long, who had just stood up and seemed to be swaying a little, struck out with his sword again. However, what caused Lei Shan's expression to change drastically was that not only was Lin Long's attack even more exquisite, but the sword Qi that he sent out was like a cold moon.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted, causing Lei Shan to feel as if he was in a world of ice and snow.
This was an ice attribute cultivation technique! Lei Shan, who had returned to his senses, exclaimed in his heart.
However, it was too late. In the next moment, the sword qi that resembled a cold moon had already slashed at his left chest.
Even with the runic armor on his body, he was still unable to withstand the sword aura and was sent flying.
Unlike before, this attack directly caused him to be seriously injured. After falling to the ground, he immediately fainted.
Lei Peng's eyes widened in shock when he saw Linlong's attack.
"That's an ice-attribute cultivation technique!" Lei Peng exclaimed.
He knew how rare elemental cultivation techniques were and how difficult it was to cultivate them. Yet, not only did Lin Long possess such a cultivation technique, he was even able to cultivate it to such an extent. How could he not be shocked?
One must know that the other party was still very young.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Where did you come from, and how did you manage to cultivate it so easily?" Although Lei Peng knew that Linlong would not tell him, he could not help but ask.
"If you become my subordinate, I might tell you." Lin Long calmly smiled.
"Impossible!" Lei Peng roared.
As his voice rang out, he brandished the runic sword in his hand once again. However, this time, it was merely a feint. In the next instant, his figure had already rapidly retreated.
Clearly, after knowing that he was no match for Lin Long, he quickly made a decision — escape.
However, how could Linlong let him escape?
One had to know that the other party was a Level 3 Martial Artist, and not an ordinary Level 3 Martial Artist. If he escaped to the Fan Family and joined forces with Fan Shenglin, it would be enough to make him suffer.
Therefore, the moment Lei Peng moved, Linlong's runic sword had already slashed out.
Lei Peng's figure was still in mid-air when he was already struck by Linlong's sword aura. With a muffled sound, Lei Peng was immediately sent flying.
Although Linlong had sent Lei Peng flying, he was still a little fearful. This was because Lei Peng's speed was too fast. If not for the Cold Moon Ice Technique, he might have really let Lei Peng escape.
After sending Lei Peng flying, Linlong rushed forward like a maggot attached to a bone.
Before Lei Peng could stand up again, the tip of the runic sword in his hand was already pointed at Lei Peng's throat.
Lei Peng's face immediately turned ashen when he saw this.
"Brat, where did you come from? Not only do you have such great strength and talent, but you also have such a martial technique and cultivation technique?" Lei Peng could not help but ask.
He was unwilling to accept this.
Linlong ignored him and said coldly, "What other experts does your Lei Family have?"
Now that he had completely offended the Lei Family, he naturally had to understand the Lei Family's strength.
"Why would I tell you?" Lei Peng said coldly.
Linlong could not be bothered to waste his breath and directly placed a restriction on Lei Peng's body. In just a short while, Lei Peng could no longer hold on and obediently revealed the Lei Family's situation.
When he heard that the Lei Family only had three third rank practitioners, and that their strength was completely inferior to Lei Peng's, Linlong was relieved. How could such a Lei Family be his match? It would already be good if he did not exterminate them.
Lei Peng lowered his head and said, "Linlong, you can kill me, but I hope that you will let the Lei Family off."
After suffering under Linlong's restriction, Lei Peng knew that Linlong's strength was not something that the Lei Family could contend against. Lei Peng completely lowered his head. He only hoped that Linlong would not dig up the roots and leave behind smoke and ashes for the Lei Family.
"Don't worry, I am not so free that I will run over to your Lei Family to deal with them." Linlong indifferently said.
After hearing Linlong's words, Lei Peng completely heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his head tilted to the side as he actually severed his own heart arteries and died.
Soon after, Linlong left the place after plundering everything from their bodies.
Just as Linlong's foot left, a few people rushed into the courtyard. When they saw the corpses of the Lei Family members, one of which was Lei Peng's, their expressions immediately changed.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry back and report this matter to the family head!"
As they spoke, they hurriedly ran out. They were members of the Fan Family, so they naturally ran towards the Fan Family's location.
"What, Lei Peng is dead?"
Not long after, Fan Shenglin, who had received this piece of news in the Fan Family's great hall, immediately stood up in shock.
Then, his face darkened as he asked the person who had come to report, "Is this absolutely true?"
Even now, Fan Shenglin still did not dare to believe such words. After all, Lei Peng's strength surpassed the middle stage of a third rank practitioner. In the entire Xing Wu City, there were not many people who could kill him.
"Family Head, we have carefully identified the corpse. There is no doubt that it is the Lei Family's family head." The person who reported the news hurriedly said.
"The few of you, follow me to the Lei Family's residence to take a look." Fan Shenglin still did not believe it, so in the next moment, he quickly led the few people towards the courtyard.
After arriving at the courtyard and carefully examining it for a while, he finally believed it.
After another round, he confirmed one thing, and that was that all the Lei Family members in Xing Wu City had been killed.
"Who is so powerful to actually kill all the Lei Family members!"
"Moreover, isn't he too daring? This is the Xing Wu City, yet he completely disregarded the City Lord and the various large families in the city."
"That's not all. The other party obviously disregarded the Xing Wu Academy. After all, the Lei Family's Lei Yu was a teacher in the Xing Wu Academy!"
For a moment, the people who had come with Fan Shenglin were all astonished.
They had been in the Xing Wu City for so long, but they had never seen anyone so daring.
Of course, they had seen ordinary revenge killings, but this time was different. This time, Lei Peng was the family head of the Lei Family. Moreover, he was an expert whose strength surpassed the middle stage of a third rank practitioner.
"Family Head, who did this?" Someone beside Fan Shenglin asked carefully.
"According to my careful investigation just now, Family Head Lei should have been killed by an ice attribute technique. In other words, the person who killed Family Head Lei was at least as strong as Family Head Lei. Moreover, it was someone who knew an ice attribute technique!" Fan Shenglin said with a frown.
"Family Head Lei has been in the Xing Wu City for so long, but I have not seen anyone making enemies with him. The only person he had a grudge with was Lin Li. However, with Lin Li's strength, how could he have killed Family Head Lei?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"Could it be the person behind Lin Li?" Someone could not help but ask.
"It's very possible." The others could not help but nod.
Hearing this, Fan Shenglin immediately asked, "Where are the people who went to kill Lin Li?"
When Linlong left the Xing Wu Academy, he was naturally the first to know that his subordinates had chased after him.
"They haven't returned yet." Someone beside Fan Shenglin replied.
"If there is really such a strong person behind Lin Li, I'm afraid they have already met with an accident." Fan Shenglin's frown deepened.
Then, he said, "Follow me to take a look."
With that, Fan Shenglin left the place and immediately headed towards the west gate of the Xing Wu City.
After searching outside for an hour, Fan Shenglin finally found his subordinates and the people from the Lei Family.
After leaving the place, Lin Long did not get rid of these people.
After a closer look, Fan Shenglin's face naturally became even uglier. These people seemed to have also died from the ice attribute technique.
At this moment, the people around him all felt a chill in their hearts because the Fan Family had obviously offended a strong enemy.
"Family Head, what should we do?" Someone beside Fan Shenglin could not help but ask.
"What should we do? Of course, we have to fight to the death!" Fan Shenglin said coldly.
Since things had come to this, how could there be any possibility of reconciliation?
"Family Head, since the other party killed Family Head Lei, why don't we directly report this matter to the dean of the Xing Wu Academy and let him arrest Lin Li!" Someone suggested.
"Without any evidence, it will be difficult to arrest him."
"We don't need irrefutable evidence. Anyway, this matter is definitely related to him. As long as we arrest him as a suspect, we won't have to worry about the person who killed Family Head Lei not appearing."
After hearing his subordinate's words, Fan Shenglin's eyes immediately lit up. They could indeed use this method to arrest the person behind the scenes.
"Now, immediately follow me to see the city lord!"
With that, Fan Shenglin directly led these people towards the city lord's mansion.
Not long after, in the hall of the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man with a square face and a dignified appearance cried out in surprise. "What, Family Head Lei Peng is dead?"
He was so shocked that the tea in the teacup splashed all over his clothes. However, he didn't have the time to care about this at this time.
"Indeed, Family Head Lei's corpse is in that courtyard. City Lord, you can go and take a look," Fan Shenglin said.
"Alright!"
As they spoke, the few of them directly walked out of the City Lord Mansion. After arriving at the courtyard, the City Lord completely believed Fan Shenglin's words.
"This is definitely an expert at the Middle Stage of Rank 3 or above. Furthermore, he has learned an Ice Attribute Cultivation Technique!" Looking at Lei Peng's corpse on the ground, the City Lord exclaimed in shock.
A powerhouse like him naturally knew the strength of a martial artist with an attribute cultivation method.
"City Lord, this matter definitely has something to do with Lin Li from the Xing Wu Academy. The Lei Clan has no other enemies in the Xing Wu City except for him," Fan Shenglin said immediately.
"Lin Li? Who is that? "The City Lord asked curiously.
He knew that the Lei Clan had come to Xing Wu City to seek revenge. However, he did not know who their enemies were.
"He's a new disciple from the Xing Wu Academy. Although he seems to only be a Level 1 warrior, he seems to have such a powerful warrior behind him. That's why he's been able to escape the Lei Family's pursuit time and time again. Now, he's even killed a member of the Lei Family," Fan Shenglin said.
"What do you think, Patriarch Fan?" The City Lord looked at Fan Shenglin and asked.
"City Lord, the Lei Clan has been in the Xing Wu City for a long time. They're considered our guests. Now that so many people have been killed in our Xing Wu City, if we don't find the culprit, it won't do us any good if the news spreads," Fan Shenglin said.
"Of course." The City Lord nodded.
The murder of the Lei Clan was indeed not a small matter in the Xing Wu City. If he couldn't provide an explanation, it would be a dereliction of duty.
"Patriarch Fan, what do you suggest?" The City Lord asked.
"I suggest that we capture Lin Li immediately and use him to force the culprit out," Fan Shenglin said in a deep voice.
"However, we don't have any concrete evidence. It doesn't seem appropriate." The City Lord frowned slightly.
"City Lord, now that things have come to this, we can only use extreme measures."
"However, Lin Li is a disciple of the Xing Wu Academy. What if that old fellow doesn't let go?" The City Lord said again.
"City Lord, don't worry. This is not a small matter. I believe Dean Teng will understand." Fan Shenglin smiled.
Seeing that the City Lord was still pondering, he gritted his teeth and said, "City Lord, I'm willing to give you ten million Yongzhou dollars as the expenses for this matter!"
Hearing Fan Shenglin's words, the City Lord's eyes lit up.
Ten million Yongzhou dollars was not a small matter. This matter originally belonged to him, the City Lord. Now that Fan Shenglin was willing to give him so many Yongzhou dollars, he naturally wouldn't reject it.
He smiled and said, "Patriarch Fan, since you're willing to pay such a price, as the City Lord, I naturally won't refuse … Patriarch Fan, I'll go to the Xing Wu Academy with you now. I believe that old fellow won't make things difficult for the people of the Xing Wu City."
"That's good." Fan Shenglin smiled.
Ten million Yongzhou coins made him feel heartache, but if he could catch the other party and kill the person behind him, killing this threat, this loss of ten million Yongzhou coins was nothing.
Soon after, the two of them immediately brought their subordinates to the Xing Wu Academy.
