Chapter 782 He Wuji’s Revenge (4)
Chapter 782 He Wuji’s Revenge (4)
As the two sides clashed, He Wuji found that he was being suppressed by Lin Fan.
While he had his power and experience as a veteran Peak Nascent Soul Realm Expert, when the two of them clashed with their weapons, it was always him that was pushed back a step.
It seemed that no matter how much power he used, he wasn't able to match the power contained within Lin Fan's sword.
As the fight continued, He Wuji was pushed back more and more until he came to the edge of the glowing area.
He knew that he was about to lose, so he quickly shouted out, "Everyone, charge him with me!"
But the city guards weren't just standing there anymore.
During the time that He Wuji and Lin Fan had been fighting, Lin Fan knew that there was a chance that he would have the city guards and the other experts from the City Lord Manor back him up.
Lin Fan knew that this was a race against time.
He wouldn't be able to maintain the pseudo domain forever and he didn't know how long the glowing area would last. In that situation, once the pseudo domain ran out while He Wuji was stalling him with the glowing area, he would be trapped in a sea of soldiers.
Not to mention that the glowing area was big enough for some experts to come and help He Wuji fight him.
He was already using everything he had to fight He Wuji, so if they were to come and help him, it would be very easy for them to overwhelm Lin Fan.
In this situation, the best thing he could do was take care of the city guards while they couldn't use their power.
So he diverted some of the Nascent Soul Realm pets to taking them down.
The city guards and the experts from the City Lord Manor didn't even have a Nascent Soul Realm Expert left, but even if they did, it would be meaningless since there was the pseudo domain covering them. They wouldn't be able to fight since they didn't have their laws to use.
They were no different from normal humans without these laws.
Well, actually they were a bit stronger than normal humans because of their physiques developed through cultivation, but beasts had stronger physiques than humans to begin with and these beasts could use laws.
So it wasn't a fight, it was a slaughter.
He Wuji had just finished shouting out for his troops to support him, but he found that not a single person came to help.
He couldn't help being shocked as he saw all his troops lying on the ground at the feet of the Nascent Soul Realm beasts that Lin Fan had sent to clear them out.
He Wuji's mind turned quickly and he knew that he had been beaten.
It was unlikely that he would be able to win today…And even if he was able to beat Lin Fan, there were the Nascent Soul Realm beasts that were currently standing behind him.
So he had to find a way to get himself out of this bad situation.
There was only one thing that he could do.
He Wuji stopped fighting and raised his voice to say, "Lin Fan, let's end this here today."
Lin Fan stopped swinging his sword when he heard this, but he didn't respond.
He Wuji felt like he had a chance when he saw this, so he kept pushing, "I am the Harmony City City Lord after all, this is a position that was granted to me by the twelve great factions. Unless you want to fight all twelve great factions, I suggest that we end it here." Then after a pause, he quickly added, "Of course, I will give you compensation for what happened today. I promise that you won't be…"
But before he could finish, Lin Fan had swung his sword down again.
He Wuji was caught off guard by this since he thought that Lin Fan had been moved by his words. He couldn't bring his sword up in time and he received a slash right across the chest.
Still, he was able to release his defenses at the last second, so the wound wasn't too deep, but the wound wasn't light either.
It would definitely be the decider in their fight.
He Wuji panicked when he saw this and he quickly shouted, "Lin Fan, are you crazy? Do you think that the twelve great factions will let you off after this?"
Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "There is only one path for you today."
He Wuji felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this, but he didn't give up.
He knew that there was no other choice, so he released all the life energy that he had. He was going to end this fight with an all out strike against Lin Fan, risking his life against his.
But what he never expected was that Lin Fan would just make a casual swing to his right.
On the ground to his right, was the dagger that He Wuji had stabbed into the ground. This was the dagger that was also creating the glowing area around them that allowed him to use his life energy.
The moment that Lin Fan hit the dagger, it was knocked out of the ground and the glowing area disappeared.
When the glowing area disappeared, He Wuji felt the pressure from before falling on him again as all of his life energy suddenly dissipated.
He hadn't been paying attention during the fight, but Lin Fan had been aware of the spacing. He had made sure to push He Wuji away from the dagger and putting himself closer to it.
With that final strike just now, he had pushed He Wuji far enough that he wouldn't be able to stop Lin Fan from knocking the dagger out of the ground.
This dagger wasn't like the item that Bing Jun had used back in the True Spirit Sect.
The item that Bing Jun had used in the True Spirit Sect didn't have such an obvious flaw as having to be stabbed into the ground to work. The space that he had created was able to move with him, so he could use it whenever he wanted.
This dagger on the other hand had to be stabbed into the ground to create this zone. Moreover, this dagger didn't have any protective features, so there was nothing stopping people from just knocking it off the ground to turn off the glowing area.
Lin Fan had been paying attention to all of this unlike He Wuji who had been suppressed by Lin Fan from the start.
That was how Lin Fan was able to easily win this fight.
He Wuji had a bitter look on his face as he knew that he was in danger, but he forced himself to stay calm as he looked up at Lin Fan who had walked over.
Lin Fan put his sword to He Wuji's neck and said, "Tell me who gave you all these things and I'll give you a peaceful death."
He Wuji looked right up at him with firm eyes and said, "If you don't let me go, wait to watch your store be destroyed by the twelve great factions. You won't get away with this, I am the City Lord of…"
Before he could finish though, Lin Fan flicked his hand.
With one smooth movement, the sword in his hand cut off He Wuji's arm that flew through the air, rotating a few times before landing on the ground beside him.
He Wuji was in shock when it happened, but then the pain hit him. He grabbed his stump and roared out in pain as a trace of panic appeared in his eyes.
He never thought that Lin Fan would be this decisive!
Without any hesitation, he had cut off his arm and he had done it as easily as a hot knife through butter.
But that did make sense since He Wuji wasn't able to use his life energy right now.
Without his life energy, he wasn't able to form a barrier to protect his body.
A sword that had life energy around it and a body that didn't have anything, it was no comparison.
The difference between being able to use life energy and not being able to use life energy was massive.
After cutting off the arm, Lin Fan's expression didn't change at all as he said, "Try again."
When He Wuji looked back up at Lin Fan, his expression was completely different. There was no longer the same confidence as before and there was even a trace of fear in his eyes now.
But in his mind, he was completely panicking.
How did this kid who he could have crushed two months ago suddenly become this strong?
He just couldn't understand where he had gone wrong…
But there was no time for that.
The most important thing at this moment was getting out with his life since there was nothing more important than his life.
So He Wuji raised his remaining arm which had his wrist watch communicator and he tapped it a few times with his chin, calling a number. When the call connected, he immediately shouted, "Young master Bing, please save me! I promise that I'll do whatever you want if you save me!"
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.
But to He Wuji's dismay, the call had only connected for a few seconds before suddenly being cut off.
It was clear that he had been abandoned.
