Chapter 1267: You Can Become the New City Lord
The sword and whip clashed, sparks flew, and the wind and clouds churned.
Jin Zongfan could feel the incredible force of Housekeeper Liu's nine-section steel whip, knocking him back over two meters.
Undoubtedly, the power of Housekeeper Liu's steel whip was stronger than the sword in Lin Fei's hand.
Housekeeper Liu also noticed that Jin Zongfan's strength with the Saint Sect's magical artifacts was not as powerful as his own.
A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly raised his whip, striking at Jin Zongfan. The light and shadows flashed like lightning, full of murderous intent, as if the whip would smash Jin Zongfan's brains out.
Seeing the whip about to hit Jin Zongfan, and feeling its horrifying power, Jin Zongfan realized his sharp sword couldn't possibly withstand it.
At this critical moment, a tearing sound split the air as a beam of extremely sharp qi shot towards Housekeeper Liu.
The nine-section steel whip in Housekeeper Liu's hand was targeting Jin Zongfan, but unexpectedly, a beam was flying toward him.
However, he dismissed the incoming beam, continuing to attack Jin Zongfan with the whip, while using his other hand to unleash a ball of Holy Qi light to counter the sudden beam.
In Housekeeper Liu's view, the Holy Qi light he had released was enough to shatter the approaching beam.
Of course, after dealing with Jin Zongfan, he intended to hunt down and kill the attacker.
Yet, before his steel whip could reach Jin Zongfan, the incoming beam instantly smashed through his Holy Qi power.
With a tearing sound, it hit Housekeeper Liu's right chest, piercing straight through his body and out his back.
Housekeeper Liu's whip hand froze, his eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and his face became absolutely dreadful.
He clearly felt the heart-tearing pain of the beam penetrating his chest, as if he had fallen into hell.
As his movement stalled, Jin Zongfan seized the opportunity, attacking with lightning speed, slamming a palm against Housekeeper Liu's chest.
With a muffled sound, Housekeeper Liu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body flew away like a kite with a broken string.
With a loud crash, Housekeeper Liu fell into the valley, stirring up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, Qin Zimo and his sister, along with Xiao Ling and his sister, unleashed the Primordial Sword Skill taught by Lin Fei, greatly increasing their power. Amid screams, the four of them killed two other Saint Sect experts of the Wan family in the valley.
The remaining Wan family experts, seeing Housekeeper Liu gravely injured and fallen, along with two other Saint Sect experts, became panic-stricken and their morale plummeted.
Meanwhile, the True Essence Sect experts fought more fiercely, all with their eyes red from battle, incessantly striking down Wan family experts.
Housekeeper Liu, heavily wounded, struggled to stand from the ground, clueless as to where his nine-section steel whip had fallen.
He appeared tense and saw that there were now a few more people in the air—it was Lin Fei and his group.
Housekeeper Liu already suspected that the one who had struck him down was likely among Lin Fei's group, and realized their strength must be formidable.
If he remained to fight, it could only lead to death. The only option was to flee and have Young Master Wan Jingyuan bring more powerful experts to counter them.
With this thought, Housekeeper Liu ordered the nearby Wan family experts, "Kill them all, kill the people in the air."
A dozen Wan family experts agreed, holding sharp swords and launched their attack.
While these Wan family experts assaulted Lin Fei, Jin Zongfan, and the others, Housekeeper Liu seized the chance to escape the valley, flying toward another direction.
Boom boom boom.
The dozen or so Wan family experts in the air were continuously killed by Jin Zongfan.
Seeing Housekeeper Liu escape, Jin Zongfan shouted angrily and regretfully, "Damn it, he escaped!"
"He won't escape." At this moment, Lin Fei's voice rang out.
Jin Zongfan looked at Lin Fei, a smile appearing on his face, knowing Lin Fei's formidable strength meant Housekeeper Liu surely wouldn't escape.
At that moment, Lin Fei flicked his fingers, sending out a tearing sound as a beam of qi shot forth.
This beam, like a flying needle, pierced through Housekeeper Liu's body. Amidst screams, he fell like a shot goose, silent and lifeless.
Upon seeing Housekeeper Liu killed, the surviving Wan family experts in the valley were terrified, dropping their weapons, raising their hands, and kneeling, shouting, "We surrender!"
"Don't kill us!"
...
The True Essence Sect experts surrounded the kneeling Wan family experts.
At this time, Qiu Qiming, protected by the True Essence Sect experts, saw Lin Fei in the air and instantly understood why the True Essence Sect had turned defeat into victory.
Qiu Qiming then flew into the air, approaching Lin Fei, and with a smile said, "Lin Fei, why are you here?"
Lin Fei said, "I heard you were in danger, so I came."
Qiu Qiming expressed gratitude, saying to Lin Fei, "Thank you!"
Lin Fei touched his shoulder, saying, "No need to thank me, and besides, this time you and your family got involved because of me. I should apologize to you."
Qiu Qiming seemed to think of his killed father, showing a trace of sorrow in his eyes, but soon he returned to normal, saying, "It's not your fault. Wan Jingyuan will stop at nothing to become the City Lord."
Lin Fei didn't know what to say. In such situations, more consolation would be redundant. He could only say, "I will help you avenge your family, and I won't let Wan Jingyuan off."
Hatred flashed in Qiu Qiming's eyes as he clenched his fist, saying, "I want Wan Jingyuan to pay for his blood debts."
"City Lord, how should we handle these Wan family people?" Jin Zongfan looked at the surrendering Wan family experts in the valley and asked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei said, "Keep them alive since they've surrendered, but if they show any resistance or have ulterior motives, kill them."
"Yes, City Lord," Jin Zongfan replied.
"Take the surrendered experts to True Essence Peak. I still need to visit Ten Thousand Swords City, which will be bustling with the city's competition in two days." Lin Fei showed a cold smile.
"Indeed, Lin Fei, the city's competition is in two days, which is why Wan Jingyuan rushed to eliminate me and my Qiu family as a warning to others. This way, the other supporters of Wan Jingxuan's family wouldn't dare support him, allowing Wan Jingyuan to naturally sit as the new City Lord." Qiu Qiming said angrily.
Lin Fei exuded confidence, saying, "Don't worry, Wan Jingyuan won't be City Lord."
Then Lin Fei looked at Qiu Qiming and said, "I believe you could be the next City Lord, my brother."
