Chapter 129 - 129: Beating Up Dugu Yuan
The man who entered was extremely fast, Fang Lin didn’t expect someone to burst in suddenly, and anger instantly surged in his heart.
“I’ll kill you!” Fang Lin roared internally, grabbing the sharp longsword from the Nine Palace Bag with his left hand.
Fang Lin slashed at the man with no hesitation, intending to take his life.
This strike, swift and ruthless, combined with Fang Lin’s remarkable ongoing development as a martial artist, no Human Origin warrior could have escaped this blow.
The intruder was extremely taken aback, twisting his body suddenly and narrowly evading the sword.
Fang Lin was slightly surprised, the intruder was able to dodge his attack, impressive.
At this moment, Dugu Nian also saw who had unexpectedly intruded, and hurriedly shouted, “Stop fighting, stop fighting!”
The intruder was a young man, dressed in black, with a grim demeanor and eyes filled with killing intent, fixated on Fang Lin.
Fang Lin, holding his longsword, glared at the intruder with equal hostility.
“Dugu Yuan, what are you doing?” Dugu Nian complained to the young man.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin frowned, realizing this was a member of the Dugu Family, explaining their audacious behavior.
The young man, named Dugu Yuan, glanced at Dugu Nian then turned his attention back to Fang Lin.
“Looking for death!” Dugu Yuan snorted before pouncing at Fang Lin once again.
Longsword in hand, Fang Lin lost it completely, “You broke into my courtyard, just watch me kill you!”
The two clashed again, Dugu Yuan, weaponless, engaged in a barehanded combat with Fang Lin.
Yet, Dugu Yuan quickly regretted his decision.
Dugu Yuan, embarrassed and angry, finally pulled out a long spear.
“Get lost!” Fang Lin roared, suddenly appearing behind Dugu Yuan and kicking him in the buttocks.
Dugu Yuan stumbled forward, then reverted with an immediate display of spear skills.
Dugu Yuan’s spear thrusts were swift, aiming at Fang Lin’s vital points. If hit, Fang Lin would either die or be critically wounded.
However, Dugu Yuan, no matter how hard he tried couldn’t even touch Fang Lin’s robes
Fang Lin was far too fast. Even though Dugu Yuan was also quick to react, he couldn’t keep up with Fang Lin’s pace.
Dugu Nian kept trying to intervene but both Fang Lin and Dugu Yuan were too caught up in the fight, making it increasingly fierce.
Unable to gain the upper hand, Dugu Yuan growing desperate, ruthlessly pulled out the Nine Palace Bag.
Whoosh!
A flash of cold light flew straight for Fang Lin’s forehead.
“Sneaky bastard!” Fang Lin cursed, once again evading the attack and retaliating with his sword.
Dugu Nian blocked Fang Lin’s sword with his spear, but was forced to retreat several steps due to the force, his face was a picture of shock.
“Dugu Yuan, are you insane? Can’t you tell you’re no match for him?” Dugu Nian remarked, in absolute disbelief.
Dugu Yuan’s face turned red then pale, and glared maliciously at Fang Lin.
With his sword raised, Fang Lin exuded an air of deadly intent and appeared behind Dugu Yuan like a specter.
Despite knowing Fang Lin was behind him, Dugu Yuan couldn’t get his body to react in time.
Fang Lin’s sword rested on Dugu Yuan’s shoulder. One slight movement, Dugu Yuan’s neck would be severed open.
Overwhelmed with humiliation and defiance, Dugu Yuan originally stormed in wanting to teach Fang Lin a lesson, but he realized he’d underestimated Fang Lin and ended up subdued instead.
The humiliation drove Dugu Yuan to contemplate suicide.
Fang Lin smirked at Dugu Yuan, saying, “Weren’t you acting all high and mighty? You barged in and attacked without a word, now I want to see you act tough! Try moving?”
Dugu Yuan’s face darkened even more. As anger threatened to explode in his chest, he really wanted to turn and fight Fang Lin to death.
Yet, the sword against his neck could end his life at any moment. Though Dugu
Yuan doubted Fang Lin would dare kill him, there was always a chance Fang Lin might lose his mind and slit Dugu Yuan’s throat, making his death completely unworthy.
Dugu Nian looked at Dugu Yuan, irritated as he asked, “What did you come here
Dugu Yuan looked at Dugu Nian with frustration. What did he come for? Wasn’t it to avenge Dugu Nian? Why did he feel like he’d done something wrong?
If he’d known about Fang Lin’s strength in advance, he wouldn’t have been so stupid to act impetuously.
Fang Lin, with a sideways glance at Dugu Nian, joked, “The people of Dugu Family share the same temperament – all arrogant and domineering. If it was anyone else, I would’ve slaughtered them long ago.”
Grunting, Dugu Yuan said provocatively, “If you dare, kill me.”
Fang Lin chuckled. This kid was truly proud, even after failing, he still dared to speak such words.
Without waiting for another inch, Fang Lin thrust his sword into Dugu Yuan’s leg.
Dugu Yuan grunted. Blood flowed from his shaky legs, but he did not utter a sound, proving his toughness.
Just as Fang Lin was about to thrust the sword again, Dugu Nian begged him to stop, forcing Fang Lin to sheath his sword.
Meanwhile, three people slowly approached Fang Lin’s courtyard from the outside.
Aside from Gu Daofeng, the other two were experts from the Dugu Family.
Upon knowing that Dugu Nian had stayed in the Pill Sect, the Dugu Family sent people to understand the situation.
Gu Daofeng didn’t dare to slack off and personally attended to them.
“Chief Gu, my nephew has always been impulsive. If Fang Lin has suffered any losses, I hope the Chief won’t mind,” said an middle-aged man from Dugu Family lightly.
Gu Daofeng did not mind, “Fang Lin needs to be taught a lesson, it wouldn’t hurt for Dugu Xianzhi to discipline him.”
Another young man from Dugu Family sneered. As a leader, Gu Daofeng wasn’t even protecting his disciples. Such a man being the leader of Pill Sect seemed absurdly right.
Fang Lin, inside the door of the yard, had no inkling of the arrival of these three until they appeared at the entrance. His face was full of surprise.
‘What…?” Gu Daofeng and the two from Dugu Family were taken aback when they witnessed the scene inside the courtyard —where was the scene of Fang Lin getting taught a lesson?
“Yuan, how did you get wounded?” Seeing Dugu Yuan sitting on the ground, his legs bleeding, the middle-aged man from Dugu Family asked anxiously.
The young man from Dugu Family, on the other hand, stared at Fang Lin with cold, unrestrained killing intent in his eyes.
Gu Daofeng masked his shock well, looking angrily at Fang Lin, “How dare you hurt a distinguished guest of Pill Sect!”
Fang Lin retorted, “Chief, I’ve got to object to that. Dugu Yuan barged in here and attacked me without uttering a word. If I hadn’t luckily advanced, I’d probably be dead by now.”
After a pause, Fang Lin remarked sarcastically, “This is Pill Sect territory, and yet an outsider can run wild here.. Will the Chief really just stand by and ignore this?”
