"From afar, we saw Lin Li blocking Lei Qiu's path for some reason. He pointed his runic iron sword at Lei Qiu, and Lei Qiu probably knew that he was no match for Lin Li, so he tried to escape. However, Lin Li didn't give him a chance at all, and Lei Qiu could only fight to the death with Lin Li. However, after one strike, his runic bronze sword was sent flying by Lin Li, and then Lin Li directly slashed his throat," Xie Wen said.
"When I heard the scream, I immediately rushed over. When I arrived, I saw Lei Qiu lying on the ground, while Lin Li stood beside Lei Qiu with the runic iron sword in his hand … When he saw me, he even wanted to attack me. Fortunately, senior brother Lu and senior brother Xie arrived in time. Lin Li knew that even if he killed me, he would be surrounded by the two of them, so he chose to escape … If not for senior brother Lu and senior brother Xie, I'm afraid I would have followed in Lei Qiu's footsteps." Xu Xin said as she wiped away the tears on her face.
The three of them said that Lin Long killed Lei Qiu, so Yan Dong and the rest naturally thought that Lin Long was the culprit.
Although they knew that Xu Xin and Lei Qiu had a conflict, in their opinion, such a conflict was not enough for Xu Xin to attack Lei Qiu. Even if Xu Xin attacked, Lu Bai and Xie Wen would not be able to speak up for Xu Xin.
Therefore, they all assumed that Linlong had killed Lei Qiu.
However, they could not understand why Lin Long would kill Lei Qiu. After all, Lin Long had no conflict with Lei Qiu.
Therefore, Ah Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Why did Junior Brother Lin Li kill Lei Qiu? He doesn't seem to have a reason to kill Lei Qiu."
"I also think it's strange," another person chimed in.
"There's nothing hard to understand. It's because Lin Li hates us for not helping him deal with Senior Brother Lu Bai and the rest. That's why he turned to us in the blink of an eye. When he saw that Lei Qiu was alone, he immediately attacked Lei Qiu!" Xu Xin said with a face full of hatred.
"Xu Xin, what you said makes sense." Ah Sheng couldn't help but nod when he heard that.
The other person also nodded.
Yan Dong originally had the same suspicion, but after hearing Xu Xin's words, he no longer had any doubts.
For a moment, everyone thought that Linlong was the beast that killed Lei Qiu.
"At the very least, we fought alongside Lin Li before. I didn't expect him to be such a narrow-minded person!" Ah Sheng said angrily.
The other person said, "Senior Brother Yan, we must kill Lin Li and avenge Lei Qiu!"
"That's right, we have to kill Lin Li and avenge Lei Qiu!" Xu Xin shouted hurriedly.
Hearing their words, Yan Dong immediately nodded. "Alright, we will kill Lin Li and take revenge for Lei Qiu!"
"I didn't expect Lin Li to be such a person. I really feel sorry for Brother Lei Qiu," Lu Bai said in a feigned tone.
"Since our common enemy is Lin Li, why don't we join forces? With our current numbers and strength, Lin Li won't be able to escape even if he has wings!" Xie Wen said.
"Alright, we'll team up with Lu Bai and Xie Wen!" Yan Dong nodded.
Just like that, because of Wang Ran's plan, these people joined forces.
Then, Lu Bai called Wang Ran and the other person over.
"Senior Brothers, although it's difficult to leave this place now, there are still many opportunities to leave. If we give Lin Li a chance, it'll be difficult for us to capture him. So, we must start searching for him with all our might!" Wang Ran suggested as soon as he came over.
"That's right, it won't be good to let that kid sneak out. We must capture him as soon as possible," the others echoed.
Soon, they began to search for Linlong in this place.
For a moment, they were like hunters who had cast their nets, hunting Linlong in this small space.
Linlong didn't know about this. He still thought that only Wang Ran and the other three were dealing with him.
Unknowingly, more than two hours had passed. At this moment, Linlong discovered a spatial fluctuation in front of him. He immediately headed in that direction.
He had just taken a few steps when he heard footsteps and voices in front of him. Linlong immediately knew that it was Ah Sheng and the other two people.
Knowing that it was Ah Sheng and the other two, Linlong naturally wasn't afraid. He continued walking towards the spatial fluctuation.
Before he reached the spatial fluctuation, he saw Ah Sheng and the other two in front of him. Ah Sheng and the other two were facing him, so they didn't notice him immediately.
"Ah Sheng, why are you here?" Linlong greeted them.
Lin Li!
Upon hearing Linlong's voice, Ah Sheng and the other two immediately turned their heads and saw Linlong standing not far in front of them.
Immediately, the three of them rushed towards Linlong. Before he could react, they had already surrounded him.
After arriving at this place, they even issued a warning.
Linlong naturally noticed that something was amiss. He frowned and said, "Ah Sheng, what's the meaning of this?"
"Lin Li, aren't you embarrassed to say what's the meaning of this?" Xu Xin sneered.
"We want to kill you to avenge Lei Qiu!" another person said coldly.
Although Ah Sheng didn't say a word, his eyes were glaring at Linlong with rage.
"According to you, Lei Qiu is dead, but you suspect me?" Linlong said with a frown.
"Lin Li, do you think we are fools? I saw you kill Lei Qiu with my own eyes. Do you still want to deny it? "Xu Xin pointed at Linlong and bellowed angrily.
"From the looks of it, the problem lies with you," Linlong said as he glanced at Xu Xin.
"What problem lies with me? Lin Li, don't try to confuse the truth!" Xu Xin said.
"Lin Li, we will kill you today to avenge Lei Qiu!" Ah Sheng, who had been silent all this while, bellowed angrily.
"Heh heh …"
With a sneer, Linlong pulled out the runic sword on his body. He knew that if he didn't take action, there would be no chance of him escaping if the others surrounded him.
Therefore, the moment he pulled out the runic sword, he immediately attacked Xu Xin, who was the weakest.
Xu Xin was alarmed as she hurriedly dodged to the side. Because of this, Linlong directly opened up an opening.
However, he couldn't dodge Ah Sheng's attack from behind. He was struck in the back by Ah Sheng's sword, and instantly, blood spurted out.
Lin Long almost fainted from the pain, but he knew that if he stopped, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and held on. Then, he used Iron Striped Steps and sped forward.
Ah Sheng was naturally alarmed to see Linlong able to escape after being struck by his sword.
"Chase!" After a moment of shock, he hurriedly shouted and chased after him.
At the same time, Xu Xin and the other two followed closely behind him.
It wasn't just the three of them. When the others heard the commotion, they surrounded them from all directions.
Due to Iron Striped Steps, Linlong still left Ah Sheng and company behind despite being injured. Taking advantage of this gap, he hurriedly consumed a supreme-grade healing pill.
But at this moment, his expression changed because he realized that there was a person rushing towards him from the front.
If he continued staying here, he would definitely be discovered.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Long sprinted to his right.
To his surprise, after running for a while, two people surrounded him from this direction.
Linlong had no choice but to stop. His expression was extremely ugly. With enemies on both sides and being injured, it was really possible for him to be caught by these people.
From the looks of it, he could only try his luck at the spatial fluctuation ahead! With this thought in mind, he immediately ran to his right, toward the gap between the two people.
That direction was near the place where he had come out of the space.
Although he had rushed through the middle of the two men, the two men had obviously discovered him. Not only did they chase after him immediately, but they also issued a warning sound, signaling the others to chase in their direction.
After a chase, Linlong finally arrived at the location of the spatial fluctuation. However, what made his expression turn ugly was that the spatial fluctuation here was still very weak. It seemed like there was no possibility of a spatial rift appearing.
However, it was already impossible for him to change locations because the people on both sides had already surrounded him.
One of them was Lu Bai, and the other was Xie Wen.
Seeing that Linlong was surrounded by them, they heaved a sigh of relief. They were not in a hurry to attack, and instead waited for the others to surround him.
"Lin Li, let's see where you can run to now," Lu Bai said coldly as she looked at Linlong.
"Lin Li, obediently accept your death!" Xie Wen also said.
Linlong did not say a word. He only gripped the runic iron sword in his hand tightly. Although he knew that rushing over to deal with one person was the only way to escape, he did not do so.
This was because he knew that it was impossible for him to deal with the two of them.
It would have been fine if he had not been injured, but since he was injured, he could not do it.
As the three of them faced off, a person quickly rushed over. This person was Yan Dong.
Yan Dong's eyes were also filled with rage as he looked at Linlong.
Lei Qiu had followed him for so long, but he died at the hands of Linlong. Furthermore, Linlong had been on good terms with them previously. How could he not be angry?
However, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Lin Li, Lei Qiu had no enmity with you. Why did you kill him? Was it because we did not help you deal with Lu Bai and the rest?"
"You're wrong. I did not kill Lei Qiu." Linlong said directly.
"If not you, who else?" Yan Dong said angrily.
"Of course it was the two people around us. Oh, and that Xu Xin." Linlong smiled.
Although Linlong did not know what had happened, he could easily guess what had happened. Wang Ran and the others must have plotted to kill Lei Qiu in order to get Yan Dong and the others to gang up on him. Wang Ran and the others must have plotted to kill Lei Qiu and put the blame on him.
"You're slandering us! How could we kill Lei Qiu!" Lu Bai immediately pointed at Linlong and shouted angrily.
"Lin Li, you were the one who killed Lei Qiu, yet you want to frame us. You're really vicious!" Xie Wen also said.
They naturally could not remain silent at this time. Otherwise, it would be bad if Yan Dong and the rest became suspicious.
"Don't make it sound so dignified. Can't you tell who benefited from Lei Qiu's death?" Linlong could not help but laugh. Then, he said unhurriedly, "So, you guys killed Lei Qiu and then put the blame on me so that Yan Dong and the rest would join forces with you to deal with me."
"Brat, you're really slandering us. I'll cut off your tongue. Let's see how you can frame us!" Lu Bai's face darkened.
After saying that, he looked at Yan Dong, "Brother Yan, don't believe his nonsense. He wants us to fight amongst ourselves so that he can escape. Let's take him down first!"
After a slight hesitation, Yan Dong nodded. "Alright."
Although he was hesitant, he still felt that Lu Bai and the rest would not do such a thing. Moreover, Xu Xin had personally seen Linlong kill Lei Qiu.
Seeing that Yan Dong had agreed, Lu Bai was naturally overjoyed. "Let's do it now!"
After saying that, he had already charged towards Linlong with his sword.
At the same time, Xie Wen also charged over from the other side. As for Yan Dong, he was just a little slower.
Just like that, the three of them charged over and surrounded Linlong.
Looking at the three charging over, Linlong's eyes narrowed and he began to silently chant a rune term.
He was naturally chanting the rune term that Xiao Bing had recited previously.
At this time, he had no other choice but to take a gamble.
What made him overjoyed was that before he could finish chanting the rune term, a spatial crack suddenly appeared in the space before him.
This spatial crack didn't look like the one that Xiao Bing had triggered previously. It was very unstable.
However, Linlong could not care so much because if he did not rush over, he would only be captured by the three of them.
Therefore, in the next moment, he gritted his teeth and charged towards the spatial crack in front of him.
Although the spatial crack in front of him was very unstable, how could Lu Bai be willing to let Linlong rush into it? Therefore, before he even arrived, he had already slashed at Linlong with his sword.
In an instant, a sword aura attacked Linlong.
However, he was still a step too late. By the time his sword aura reached where Linlong was originally standing, Linlong's figure had already disappeared.
As for Lu Bai, he did not choose to rush in because the spatial crack in front of him was too dangerous. Unless he was in the same situation as Linlong, he would not rush in at all.
He knew that if he did so, he would probably be shredded into pieces before he could rush out of the spatial crack.
Very quickly, Xie Wenhe and Yan Dong also rushed to his side. However, they also stopped in their tracks.
"Why would such a spatial crack appear here?" Xie Wen asked in surprise.
"I don't know." Yan Dong frowned.
Linlong had just recited the rune term, but his voice was very soft. How could the three of them hear him?
"But you guys don't have to worry. This space is very unstable. Even if that kid rushed over, he would probably be dead," Lu Bai said.
"That's right." Yan Dong nodded.
In his opinion, there was no chance of Linlong surviving.
"I don't know if this spatial crack will stabilize later. If it does, we might be able to leave this place when we go over," Xie Wen said.
"Mm." Yan Dong and Lu Bai nodded in agreement.
Soon, the others also came over. After asking what was going on, they all looked at the spatial crack in front of them and waited.
If the spatial crack in front of them was stable, they would naturally go over to take a look.
Even if it was unstable, they would not suffer any losses because Linlong would definitely die.
That was what they all thought, because the spatial crack in front of them was too unstable.
