Chapter 780 He Wuji’s Revenge (2)
Chapter 780 He Wuji’s Revenge (2)
Everyone from the city guards were silent since they couldn't understand what had just happened.
They had watched elder Ouyang attack with his wind blades, but then they had also watched elder Ouyang being defeated by his own wind blades that had been reflected by the enemy.
Just how had Lin Fan done it?
They hadn't even seen him make a move or feel the slightest trace of life energy fluctuation.
It was impossible that Lin Fan was able to do something without them noticing it. There was no way that they would accept that as a solution.
But what Lin Fan had done was just use the defense system of the store.
By standing right behind the threshold of the door, he was still technically considered inside of the store. Which meant that if there were any attacks aimed at him, he could activate the defense system of the store to reflect them at the attacker.
That was what the invisible barrier that had stopped the blades of wind was.
Even after that Ouyang was heavily injured, Lin Fan remained standing behind the threshold of the door. He said with a teasing smile, "What? Is that all you have?"
The city guards and the experts from the City Lord Manor were all filled with rage when they heard this, but that was what Lin Fan had wanted to see.
After all, the defense system of the store could only be used in the store. So unless he was standing inside of the store, he wouldn't be able to use this defense system to deal with these attackers.
The most important thing about that was that it meant he was unable to move from his current spot. All he could do was wait for his enemies to attack him.
If he couldn't attack and could only wait, what would be better than provoking the enemies to attack than using his words?
So he didn't hesitate to throw out even more insults at the city guards and the experts from the City Lord Manor.
"If this is all you can do, I really wonder how the peace in Harmony City was even kept."
"Tsk, tsk, I guess a dog is a dog. No matter how big they act, there's no way for them to bite the hands of their masters."
With each insult, the faces of the city guards and the experts from the City Lord Manor turned more and more red. If it was possible, steam would have been shooting out of their ears at this moment, but too bad it wasn't possible.
Finally, the other Nascent Soul Realm Expert couldn't take it anymore and he drew his weapon.
He Wuji called out to stop him, but he was already charging at Lin Fan covered in flames.
But this Nascent Soul Realm Expert had learned from the mistakes of Ouyang from before. He had seen that the energy based attacks that he had used were completely useless against Lin Fan.
He wasn't that much stronger than Ouyang, so he didn't believe that he would be able to break the barrier that Ouyang couldn't.
So instead of using energy based attacks, he used a physical attack.
He charged right up to Lin Fan and slashed his sword covered in flames at him.
However, just like what happened before, the attack stopped just a few centimeters away from Lin Fan. It froze there in the air as if there was something holding it and then the sword was shattered to pieces as the Nascent Soul Realm Expert was thrown back in the air.
He flew several meters before falling to the ground, skidding along before finally coming to a stop in front of He Wuji.
It was at this point that all of the city guards felt a chill run down their spine.
If it only happened once, they could at least say that it was a fluke or some kind of trick, but for it to happen twice in a row, it meant that this was no trick. This was a real power that Lin Fan was using against them and none of them had any idea of how to break through it.
If they couldn't do anything to Lin Fan, what would be the point of coming here today?
Even He Wuji had an ugly expression on his face.
He had thought that as long as he had the support of young master Bing, he would be able to do whatever he wanted with Lin Fan. However, that didn't seem like it was the case now.
But now that he had called up all his troops and created such a big scene, for him to just leave without accomplishing anything, he wasn't willing to let it end just like this. If he let it end just like this, he would become the biggest laughingstock in Harmony City tomorrow.
Still, there was nothing that he could do against Lin Fan's barrier…
No, he still had the items that young master Bing had given him!
As long as he had these, he would still be able to do something!
So with this thought in mind, He Wuji pulled out a small black dagger from his Spatial Ring. Looking down at the black dagger and feeling the power that was coming from it, he was filled with confidence again.
As long as he had this, the barrier that was around Lin Fan's store wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Revealing a smile, He Wuji slowly made his way towards Lin Fan.
He walked right up to the store and stood just a meter away from Lin Fan, calmly facing him.
Lin Fan was surprised to see how calm He Wuji was, but he wasn't worried at all. That was because he had complete faith in the defense system of the store.
He didn't believe that there was anything in this entire Galactic Humanity Alliance that could do anything to this defense system.
He Wuji stood there in front of Lin Fan and asked, "Do you think that you're safe by hiding in your store like a turtle?"
Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "You haven't broken through the barrier around this store yet, so why are you feeling this confident?"
He Wuji raised the little black dagger in his hand and said, "You act so tough, but you're just a kid who hasn't even seen the world yet." His eyes turned sharp as he said, "Kids like you die young!"
Then without any hesitation, he stabbed at Lin Fan with the little black dagger.
When he stabbed out, there was a dark energy that surrounded the dagger. This black energy was like a cloak of death as it approached Lin Fan, but Lin Fan wasn't scared by this dagger at all.
Right before the dagger could hit Lin Fan, it once again froze in the air.
But this time, He Wuji wasn't worried.
This dagger that he had taken out was a special dagger that had the ability to crush barriers. The dark energy that was currently surrounding it was just a fake.
This dark energy was actually just some death laws that had been added to the blade of the dagger, it was just supposed to be a cover for the actual power hidden in this dagger.
In the hilt of this dagger, there was an array that was carved that had the power to crack barriers. This was an array that was designed by the special array masters of Bing Jun's family, so it was strong enough to even shatter a True Soul Realm array.
So even seeing the dagger being stopped in the air, He Wuji wasn't worried at all as he saw the array on the hilt of the dagger lighting up. He knew that even though the dagger had been stopped, the array was still working, so all he had to do was wait for it to do its job.
But in front of his smiling face, he found that the array on the hilt of the dagger suddenly dimmed before shattering to pieces.
The smile on his face froze as he watched the dagger in his hand shatter to pieces as he muttered in a voice filled with disbelief, "How…"
However, he didn't have the time to say anything else as a powerful force suddenly slammed into him from in front of him.
This was the rebound force from the defense system of the store in response to the death law strike.
The death law wasn't that powerful, but it was still in the Nascent Soul Realm. Once it was strengthened by the defense system of the store, it was enough to even hurt a Peak Nascent Soul Realm Expert like He Wuji.
He did his best to block it with all his strength, but he could still taste the blood in his mouth as a small mouthful was forced out.
This rebound force had actually caused internal injuries for He Wuji!
He had been thrown back several meters, but unlike everyone else, he was able to stabilize himself and didn't faint. He stood there holding his chest with a sliver of blood coming out of his mouth.
The city guards and the experts of the City Lord Manor all stood there with shocked looks of disbelief on their faces.
The City Lord had personally attacked and even been repelled?
Was there anything that they could do to Lin Fan?
Thoughts of retreating and abandoning the City Lord even appeared in their minds.
But before they could do anything, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared around them.
