Chapter 83 Those who can’t make big promises are not good leaders

boom!
boom!
"what."

"what."

One figure after another was knocked away and fell outside the ring.

They were spurting blood, covering their chests, and looking at the figure on the ring with resentful eyes.

So insidious,
He really was hiding his incompetence from beginning to end.

"We've been fooled." A True Qi Realm assassin who was holding his chest realized belatedly, "We killed him to make money, and he set up the ring and sincerely invited assassins to come on stage and pay a fee to make money from us."

The killers who fell to the ground did not stand up, and looked towards the ring with resentful eyes.

My body hurts, and my heart hurts too.

"Is he still human?" A killer who found out he was fooled couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know if he is a human being, but I know that this Master Lin is a dog."

Originally they were sitting in the teahouse, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and watching Lin Fan fighting desperately in the ring like spectators. Then, when they saw the opportunity, they came out with confidence.

Who could have imagined that from the beginning to the end, they were already stuck in a quagmire.

Think carefully.

Holding his chest, swallowing, his body shaking.

These are all illusions released by the other party to confuse their eyes.

At this time, there was only one old man in the divine realm on the stage.

"You really hid it very well."

The old man looked at the situation around him. He was the only one left among the group of killers. Then he looked at Master Lin, whose whole body seemed to be on fire. Feeling the hot and surging breath, his heart trembled slightly. He already felt a tremendous pressure.

"It's not that I'm hiding it too deeply, but I haven't met an opponent who can make me show my full strength yet."

Lin Fan had a strong breath, like a ferocious beast. As he spoke, the breath coming out of his nose was like steam, and even his eyebrows turned red.

The Burning Yang Heart Sutra is indeed a divine mental method, and it has brought about significant changes to one's body.

boom!
Lin Fan took a step forward and the ground cracked. Without any fancy moves, he swung a punch. A terrifying force burst out, and the air was squeezed, making a dull roar.

The old man was shocked and dodged quickly. Before the fist arrived, he already felt the hot breath. It seemed that he dodged quickly, but in fact, Lin Fan was even faster. He blocked the old man's way back and forced him to face it head-on.

boom!
boom!
Between fists and palms.

The old man's arms felt like they were burnt, and he could only rely on his true qi to protect his body and avoid harm.

Lin Fan swung his fist, and the old man crossed his arms to block it. With a bang, a huge force penetrated him, and the old man retreated repeatedly. He stomped the ground hard with one foot and barely managed to stabilize his retreat.

Such a strong force, this guy...

The old man swallowed his saliva, and a burst of artistic conception swept across the entire place. In an instant, he rushed towards Lin Fan, swinging his arms from top to bottom, like a sharp axe chopping a mountain, trying to split the mountain in front of him.

"Sky-Splitting Palm."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. This was the artistic conception of martial arts. Pushing martial arts to the extreme, comprehending the artistic conception, forming an illusion, the arm that fell down was like a sharp axe.

He did not dodge, but growled, his blood boiling, and punched hard, breaking through the opponent's martial arts state of mind. To the shock of the old man, he punched him and sent him flying.

puff!
The old man fell to the ground, holding his chest, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He knew he was defeated.

"Master Lin, I am convinced."

The old man clasped his fists and had no intention of continuing the fight. It was true that a young man is better than a strong man. The energy of Master Lin in front of him was too strong. If he continued to fight, he would definitely be the one to die.

"Accepted."

Lin Fan restrained his breath and restored himself to his original appearance. Then, Li Dana came on stage with the clothes and draped them on his master.

"Master, this is amazing." Li Dana exclaimed.

At the same time, a wish comes.

When he challenged someone to a fight in the ring, naturally some people hoped that he could survive to the end.

"My fellow martial artists, is there anyone else who wants to come up on stage and compete?" Lin Fan asked.

This battle brought glory and fame to Ankang County, and even earned the title of number one in Ankang County. Now, who can still underestimate the Changying Martial Arts School in Ankang County?

Even if some gangsters come to Ankang County in the future, they will have to keep their heads down and abide by the rules here.

Some killers who were not on stage looked at the situation.

Complaining like crazy.

Let’s compete with grandma legs.

After being beaten like this by you, who would dare to go on stage?

Zhao Tianming, who had been hoping that Lin Fan would be killed, stared in disbelief at the scene before him, while constantly comforting himself in his heart.

No hurry, no hurry.

If this wave doesn’t work, there will be another one.

My bounty is still up.

Someone will definitely pick it up.

There was no other way, he could only comfort himself in this way.

Seeing that no one had come up to the stage, Lin Fan said loudly, "Everyone has come from afar, so I cannot let you go home disappointed. How about this? Zhao Tianming offers a reward of 50,000 taels of silver for my head in the dark chamber. It is rude not to return the favor, so I cannot be so lowly. Well, I will offer 10,000 taels of silver and offer a reward for Zhao Tianming's head."

"Of course, with so many people, it would be hard to divide them. So how about this? Two thousand taels for each limb, and ten thousand taels for each head. What do you think?"

When these words were spoken, the killers became excited.

He hurriedly asked the local people what Zhao Tianming looked like and where he lived.

If I can't deal with Master Lin, how can I deal with that Zhao Tianming?

suddenly.

A waiter's voice came from the restaurant in the distance, "Zhao Tianming is here, he is drinking tea here, come and kill him, I don't ask for much, just give me ten taels of silver."

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the restaurant.

"Mr. Lin, I will never reconcile with you."

A figure suddenly rushed out of the restaurant, cursing angrily, not daring to stay, shuttling over the eaves, and continuously fleeing into the distance. He did not expect that Lin Fan would offer a bounty for his life in public.

Faced with so many assassins, even if Huitong Martial Arts School had many disciples, it would be difficult to protect him.

"Master Lin is righteous."

The killers took action and chased in the direction where Zhao Tianming fled.

Lin Fan looked at the situation at the scene very calmly, feeling extremely upset. Look at these killers, they are all good people. They made money from you and used your money to offer a reward for Zhao Tianming, and you still have to thank me for being righteous.

Where can I find such a killer?

I was really moved to the point of wanting to cry.

He continued to wait. It was not easy for this group of killers to kill him, but it was naturally not difficult to kill Zhao Tianming. Even the Yin and Yang monsters that were blown away in the first wave chased after Zhao Tianming quickly.

It would be a miracle if we could escape under such firepower.

Hong Luan walked up to Lin Fan and said, "Zhao Tianming's end is here."

Lin Fan said, "He forced me to do it. If he had left obediently like Xu Shi, I could have let him take the money and enjoy life somewhere else. Unfortunately, some people just don't know how to live or die, and they have to go to the end of their ways."

At this time, Jiang Shanhe was looking at Lin Fan from afar.

I am very glad of my choice.

If he listened to Zhao Tianming and chose to fight Lin Fan to the end, the result would probably be the same as Zhao Tianming's.

"Tie Xin, follow Master Lin and work hard in the future." Jiang Shanhe patted Zhao Tiexin's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Yes, I know."

Zhao Tiexin nodded.

It didn't take long.

The killers who went to hunt down Zhao Tianming are back.

Some were all smiles.

Some looked disappointed.

"Master Lin, here is Zhao Tianming's head, ten thousand taels." The only old man in the divine realm came swaggeringly, holding a bloody head.

"Okay, give me some silver." Zhang Shan, who was in charge of the money, took out two silver notes and handed them to the old man.

"Master Lin, this head..."

"Give it to you."

He just needed to make sure Zhao Tianming was dead.

He definitely doesn't want just the heads.

I have to take over and bury Zhao Tianming, which is troublesome just thinking about it.

The old man looked at the head in his hand and threw it aside casually. He didn't want the head, just the silver.

"Master Lin really does what he says. I admire him very much. From now on, I will not accept any reward related to Master Lin." said the old man.

"Thank you."

Zhao Tianming is dead, but his bounty is still there.

Who knows, there might be more killers appearing in the future.

But he didn't care about it.

It would be really shameful for a true master if he had never been hunted down by others.

Soon, more and more people appeared with Zhao Tianming's remains.

With hands and legs.

It is obvious that this dismemberment battle is probably equally fierce.

All four limbs are present, and eight thousand taels are given.

The killers who received the silver were all satisfied. Those who were able to snatch the limbs were real masters, at least at the Qi realm. As for those at the flesh and skin realm, or the Qi and blood realm, there was no need to mention them.

They didn't even have a chance to get close.

Lin Fan was about to leave when a weak voice suddenly came.

"Lin, Master Lin, do you think this can be considered a limb?"

Turning back, he saw a young man holding a part of Zhao Tianming's body and looking at Lin Fan expectantly.

When the people around saw this scene, they subconsciously tightened their legs and stared in horror at the young killer. Who could have thought that this guy actually cut off Zhao Tianming's fifth limb.

Even Lin Fan, who had seen big scenes before, felt a little scalp-tingling at this moment.

"Calculate."

"yeah……"

The young man shouted in surprise. His cultivation was very weak, only at the Qi and Blood realm. Although he was a killer, he was actually in a miserable state. When Zhao Tianming's limbs and head were taken away, he stared at the corpse in a daze for a long time.

Finally, his eyes fell on Zhao Tianming.

He didn't know if this counted.

But people have to have the spirit of hard work and trying, just in case they can really succeed.

At this moment, the other killers were very regretful, and some even couldn't help but slap themselves in anger, wondering why they didn't think of it. Two thousand taels, that's two thousand taels.

……

At night, the martial arts hall is brightly lit.

Lin Fan, Hong Luan, Han Wei, Lei Bin and others were all there.

Eating and drinking.

"Master, as soon as Zhao Tianming died, I brought people to recruit the Jiangtong Martial Arts School. When those disciples learned of Zhao Tianming's tragic death, they did not resist and all of them were willing to join the Changying Martial Arts School."

Han Wei reported the situation. Without a leader, the disciples naturally would not resist.

Their request is simple.

Just having something to eat is enough.

It doesn't matter who you hang out with.

As for the so-called loyalty, of course there is none. They work and the martial arts school pays them, which is only natural.

Even the Changying Martial Arts School is the same. If Lin Fan is beaten to death and other forces take over, they will not have too many thoughts and will just join in.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now that the six sects have been united, our Changying Martial Arts School is the dominant one. We must control the people under our command more and make sure that no one takes advantage of their power to bully the people." Lin Fan warned.

Han Wei said: "Master, rest assured, I know."

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. With a large family and a big business, there would be many things to do. Fortunately, he had people around him, so he naturally didn't need to do it all himself.

Hong Luan said: "The reward from the Dark Pavilion is still there. As long as the mission is there, there will definitely be assassins coming. This is a troublesome matter after all."

"It doesn't matter. I have already shown my might today. The only warriors who dare to come here are masters of the Divine Will Realm. And there are very few such masters. They may not be willing to pay 50,000 taels."

Lin Fan waved his hand and didn't take it to heart.

The power of Dajing martial arts is not strong, and there are not many masters in the realm of divine intention. Those who can reach this level are all at the level of hall owners or sect leaders who founded a school.

Naturally, he would not lower himself to Ankang County to kill him for the sake of fifty thousand taels.

But to be honest, I made a lot of money during the day.

I never thought that money could be so easy to make.

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made some sense.

Dajing is surrounded by four major dynasties, and martial arts have been suppressed. Masters who can reach the realm of god will leave Dajing and join the other four dynasties to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.

After all, the flesh and blood of monsters can be of great help in improving martial arts.

As long as there is ambition, everyone will give it a try.

Even Lin Fan was very interested in this.

Lin Fan took out the recipe for the Blood Tiger Pill and handed it to Hong Luan. "This is the recipe for the Blood Tiger Pill. It is several times more effective than the martial arts hall's body-strengthening pill. It can be used as the foundation of the martial arts hall to improve the strength of the disciples in the future."

As soon as these words came out.

Hongluan was shocked. "It's several times stronger than the effect of the Strengthening Pill. This is too amazing."

Han Wei on the side said: "I have taken this pill before, and the effect is very fierce."

The same is true for Lei Bin and others. Their own martial arts school has basic elixirs, which are used for disciples to practice. They don't expect the disciples to become stronger, they just hope that the disciples can reach the Qi and Blood realm.

It will take a long time to reach the state of Qi and Blood through hard practice.

Therefore, the importance of elixirs is reflected.

Lin Fan flipped his palm, and several blood-red Blood Tiger Pills appeared in his palm, which he distributed to them.

"There's no point in saying more. You'll know once you take it yourself." Lin Fan said.

Hongluan and others picked up the pills.

As the pills entered their bodies, the medicinal effects exploded completely within them.

"This medicine's effect..." Hong Luan was stunned, "It is indeed several times stronger than the Strengthening Pill, at least three times stronger."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's about right. With this medicine, the overall strength of the martial arts hall disciples can be slightly improved."

The value of the Blood Tiger Pill is naturally self-evident.

Personally, it's not worth much.

But if it is for a martial arts school or a mountain gate, then the value is difficult to estimate.

Hong Luan asked, "Now that the six sects have been unified, do the remaining dozens of martial arts schools need to be annexed?"

"No need. Those martial arts schools are just recruiting disciples and teaching martial arts to make a living. There is no need to kill them all. Just leave them alone." Lin Fan waved his hand and didn't pay attention to those ordinary martial arts schools.

There are not many martial arts schools that are truly capable.

The owners of ordinary martial arts schools can only perform a few moves at best, and most of them are at the Qi and Blood realm. Some of them are even just a little stronger than ordinary people.

Children from poor families cannot go to school, so they want to learn martial arts to get ahead. However, the tuition fees of large martial arts schools are beyond their imagination, so ordinary martial arts schools are just a stepping stone.

This road cannot be cut off.

At night, Lin Fan returned to his martial arts gym.

Come to the courtyard.

Start the lottery.

[Congratulations on winning: Burning Sun Heart Sutra proficiency 50]

……

After all his wish points were used up, he suddenly had an idea and took out the Qingfeng Sword from his storage ring. He threw the sword to the ground and stepped on it with both feet.

Use the sword-controlling technique to see if you can make the sword fly.

The sword body trembled, and then, supported by the sword, it slowly floated up. With a click, the sword fell to the ground.

"It's a bit difficult, but flying with a sword is definitely possible."

Lin Fan felt the Qi in his body dissipate.

If you want to use a sword to fly, the amount of true energy consumed is really terrifying, even greater than controlling dozens of swords.

"It seems that my realm is still a little weak. I have to continue to improve. I must be able to fly with a sword."

By then, he felt that he could put on a whole set of white clothes, fly on a sword, and soar into the sky. The effect should be amazing.

a few days later.

The quiet years were very relaxing. He would just check his wishes every day, draw lots, and slowly improve his proficiency.

Now he is still stuck at the seventh level of True Qi Realm.

The proficiency of the Burning Yang Heart Sutra is too high. Without the blessing of golden wish points, it is still difficult to rely only on white wish points.

Inspection Department.

Under the leadership of Jiang Shanhe, Qiao Yinghe looked at Lin Fan with resentment on his face.

The look in her eyes is like that of a bullied young wife.

"Master, I'll take him away." Jiang Shanhe didn't know what was made of Qiao Yinghe's brain. The master wanted to let him out, but he insisted on staying in there.

He heard it clearly when he was waiting outside just now.

What? The people here are just nice and I like being here.

Mr. Lin, don’t even think that I will go out. I will never go out even if I die.

He had no choice but to rush in and yell at Qiao Yinghe, asking him whether he was leaving or not.

When Qiao Yinghe saw Jiang Shanhe, he was obviously confused.

There was an indescribable confusion in his eyes. "Well, take it away."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

As Qiao Yinghe was dragged away by Jiang Shanhe, he looked back every three steps, as if he was reluctant to leave, until he was dragged a long way by Jiang Shanhe.

He just came back to his senses.

"Master, this is..."

"Don't call me the master from now on. A lot of things happened in Ankang County during the time you were in there. Today, the Six Sects no longer exist, and only the Changying Martial Arts School remains."

"what?"

"I have retired from the martial arts world. Now Zhao Tiexin is the head of the Changying Martial Arts School and is responsible for the entire canal transportation. If you still want to stay in the martial arts school, then you can help Tiexin."

"what……"

"Stop it, all day long. This world is ultimately dominated by young people."

"what……"

Jiang Shanhe took a deep breath and didn't say much. He kept reminding himself not to be angry. He knew that this matter had a big impact on Qiao Yinghe.

It takes a little bit of buffer time.

In the inspection department.

"Your appointment has come down, and mine has also come down. I should leave now." Mo Wangnian handed a letter of appointment to Lin Fan, "I'm afraid I won't be able to have the farewell banquet you prepared for me. This appointment is very urgent. I'm going to Guangping Prefecture. Something serious happened there, and they are in urgent need of manpower. I have to leave now."

Mo Wangnian said a lot.

"So urgent."

"No way." Mo Wangnian said helplessly, and then patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, "From now on, the security of Ankang County will be handed over to you. I know you won't stay here for long, but it is enough. With the help of Changying Martial Arts School, the difficulty of the Inspection Department in handling cases in Ankang County will be reduced."

Lin Fan nodded. He felt a little reluctant to part with Mo Wangnian.

"By the way, I heard some news that someone seemed to be trying to harm you, saying that your efforts to combat human trafficking had touched upon the interests of some people. But until now, the other party hasn't shown up, so I think they might have been scared off by you." Mo Wangnian said with a smile.

It is true that the news of the Dark Chamber's bounty and the martial arts competition has been widely spread in the outside world.

It is said that Master Lin of Ankang County is a master of the divine realm.

His cultivation was astonishing, and he dominated the crowd, not being any weaker than the others.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that Lin Fan is not someone to be trifled with.

So it is normal for revenge to disappear naturally.

Today, the Changying Martial Arts School has long been the only dominant force and is a huge force. After merging with five other martial arts schools, it has more than ten thousand disciples and controls the economic lifeline of the entire county.

How could the dynasty tolerate such a behemoth? But helplessly, Dajing could only tolerate the siege of the four dynasties and the appearance of warriors. If the current emperor was dissatisfied with the warriors' control of the city, there might be warriors who sneak into the capital and kill the emperor.

Moreover, Dajing's imperial power had been severely weakened.

There is no army.

There are only inspectors who maintain public order, and even the county lieutenants in various places, have few soldiers under their command.

"It's a pity that these people didn't come to see me. I've been very bored lately and was looking forward to having some fun sooner rather than later."

He is not afraid of anyone causing trouble for him.

He is just afraid that life is too dull and will make life seem boring.

"Brother Lin, have you reached the realm of divine power?" Mo Wangnian asked.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No."

“Alas.” Mo Wangnian said, “This may be the end of my life. The True Qi Realm is my ultimate. If you can break through the True Qi Realm, listen to me and go out for a walk. The Four Dynasties are the real holy lands of martial arts. You can improve faster there.”

Dajing is called an agricultural country. The four dynasties are like vampires, constantly sucking nutrients from Dajing. You can take a walk outside and see farmlands everywhere. The tax collection is also astonishing. The people can only keep 30%, and the remaining 70% must be handed over.

You have to plant it.

This is the rule of Dajing.

"I think I will."

Lin Fan was quite interested in the monsters and the four dynasties. He had seen the monster once and found it to be very ferocious. Although it had never practiced cultivation, it was able to rival those in the True Qi realm.

Moreover, the weakest monster can compete with the flesh and skin realm.

He believed that the monsters he had encountered before might be in the four great dynasties and were just ordinary monsters.

Mo Wangnian carried his bag, left the Inspection Office, came to the gate, and rode on his horse, "Brother Lin, I'm leaving now. The road ahead is long. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

"Have a good trip. Write a letter if you have anything to ask."

"it is good."

Mo Wangnian rode away on his horse in such a hurry that he didn't even say much.

The patrolmen of the Inspection Office looked at Mo Wangnian's departing back, and then looked at Lin Fan. This was the new inspector of their Inspection Office. He was no longer an external inspector, but someone who had been certified by the court and held an official position.

"Go and get to work. If you do a good job, I will promote one of you to deputy inspector." Lin Fan painted a big picture for the patrolmen.

Everyone was overjoyed to hear this and became full of energy.

A qualified leader must be able to paint a rosy picture. A leader who cannot paint a rosy picture is not a good leader.

Obviously, Lin Fan did it.

After leaving the Inspection Office, he strolled around the street, looking around to see if there was any wish that could be fulfilled. After all, wishes were a shortcut for him to become stronger.

A few days later again.

An unexpected guest came to Changying Martial Arts School and wanted to meet Lin Fan directly.

Hongluan discovered that this person had a strong aura, and was obviously a master in the Qi realm. He was also dressed elegantly, and did not look like a killer, so she hurriedly sent someone to inform the museum owner.

At this time, Lin Fan walked into the hall and saw that the other party was already sitting there drinking tea, waiting quietly.

"Are you looking for me?"

Lin Fan looked at the other person. He looked to be in his forties, with a steady breath, bright eyes, and the aura of a superior. There was no such person in Ankang County. It seemed that he came from another place.

While he was sizing up the other person, the other person was also sizing up Lin Fan.

"What a great Master Lin! You are so young but so powerful. I admire you. I am Wang Xingpeng from the capital, and I am here to discuss something with Master Lin."

Lin Fan sat at the main seat, picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Please speak."

He glanced at the wish on the other person's head.

Already understand the other party's background.

Wang Xingpeng said: "We used to do business with Black Stone Martial Arts School, engaging in human trafficking, but now Black Stone Martial Arts School has been taken over by Master Lin. We have no interest in this. We can understand the law of the jungle, but I don't know why Master Lin doesn't do human trafficking anymore."

"Not doing it anymore? How could that be? Human trafficking has always been going on. I don't know why you say that, Brother Wang." Lin Fan smiled. Of course they did carry out legitimate human trafficking. It was consensual and their martial arts school just earned some middleman fees.

Wang Xingpeng smiled, but didn't say it so bluntly, "I think Master Lin can understand what I mean."

"I don't quite understand." Lin Fan shook his head.

Wang Xingpeng was a little angry and frowned, thinking that the young Master Lin seemed a little immature.

"The trafficking of young children." said Wang Xingpeng.

Lin Fan glanced at the other party and said, "I won't do this deal."

"Master Lin, I hope you can think about this carefully. If you don't do anything, it will affect the interests of many people. I hope you can think about it carefully."

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Fan put down the teacup and looked directly at the other person.

"Not a threat, but advice."

"Advice, right? Okay, which faction do you represent?"

"The Helian Gang in the capital." Wang Xingpeng picked up the teacup, and the moment his lips touched the rim of the cup, he slowly uttered five words, just as he was about to take a sip.

Lin Fan suddenly attacked, spreading out his five fingers, and the Qi thread instantly wrapped around the opponent. Then, he pointed out with one finger, piercing the opponent's chest, and the Qi condensed on his fingertips went straight through the heart.

"You..." Wang Xingpeng stared, as if he had not expected such a thing to happen. He wanted to speak, but his consciousness gradually dissipated and he fell into darkness.

"It's not nice to threaten me."

Lin Fan pulled out his finger with a crisp sound. He picked up the cloth on the table and wiped the blood off his finger. He glanced at the body lying on the ground and shook his head, not taking it to heart.

Han Wei appeared and was slightly startled when he saw the corpse on the ground, but then he calmed down.

"Han Wei, deal with this guy and pretend he never came." Lin Fan said.

"clear."

Han Wei nodded, thinking that their Changying Martial Arts School is no longer what it used to be, with many masters. Even if the opponent came from a big place, so what? A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so whoever comes will have to be defeated.

He didn't expect that the trafficking of young children would attract the other party from the capital to find this place.

How much profit can there be in this?
Or does it have other uses?

I haven't figured it out, but it doesn't matter. If I can't figure it out, then I can't figure it out. I will know it when the time comes. As for whether there will be any follow-up problems after Wang Xingpeng was killed by him.

He did not take it to heart. The capital was a long way from Ankang County and there were dangers everywhere along the way. It was normal for people to die.

He thought of the map he got from Park Changfeng.

I feel a little bit of anticipation inside.

I don’t know what is in the place recorded on this map, but it seems like I can go and see it if I have the chance.

And right now.

Hongluan came hurriedly, looking very panicked, "Something happened, something happened at the dock."

"what's the situation?"

When Lin Fan saw Hongluan's strange behavior, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised. In his impression, Hongluan could always remain calm in the face of any situation.

Hongluan said: "A giant python has entangled our cargo ship and has swallowed more than a dozen dock workers. The python is thicker than a human, at least 20 to 30 meters long, and looks like a monster."

"Go and have a look."

Without even a second thought, Lin Fan rushed out the door, then jumped onto the roof and ran quickly towards the dock.

When we arrived at the pier.

Then I heard panicked cries.

"What a thick and long python."

"Help, help."

The people at the dock were running around, everyone staying far away.

Lin Fan looked towards the merchant ship and saw a thick and scary python wrapped around the ship. Its huge head like a lantern was looking down at everything around it, and its scarlet forked tongue was constantly ejected.

"What kind of python is this?"

Lin Fan was stunned when he saw the python for the first time. The scales on the python were jet black, and they sparkled brightly under the sunlight.

An ordinary python naturally couldn't surprise him, but he sensed a dangerous aura from the python.

At this time, he saw that there were still disciples hiding in the cabin of the merchant ship, each of them looked frightened and frightened.

Lin Fan didn't think much about it, he rushed over, and without thinking, he slapped the python with his palm. With a loud bang, a dull sound was transmitted. Logically speaking, an ordinary beast would definitely die if hit by his palm.

But who would have thought that the python's body was as hard as iron and could not be shaken.

The monster python was enraged and opened its bloody mouth to bite Lin Fan.

"Such hard scales, it looks like a monster, but how could a monster appear here?"

Lin Fan calmly dodged, stepped on the merchant ship, and flew towards the shore. The enraged python let go of the merchant ship and attacked the shore as fast as lightning, obviously determined to swallow Lin Fan.

Lin Fan, who had landed on the ground, swung his fists and punched the python's head continuously. With each punch, one could clearly see cracks on the python's scales. Apparently, the scales were not indestructible.

The python swung its tail and lashed out with great force.

A sonic boom sounded.

All the goods piled up at the dock were swept away in an instant.

Lin Fan kept moving his body, punching and palming the python continuously. In a short while, he had already left a lot of injuries on the python.

But the injuries were not fatal.

"The strength of this monster python should not be underestimated. Even a master who has reached the perfection of the True Qi realm may not be able to defeat this beast."

Lin Fan has already figured out the strength of the monster python.

Like a magic trick, the Qingfeng Sword appeared. Under the control of his sword-wielding technique, the Qingfeng Sword let out a long cry and turned into a stream of light that stabbed towards the python.

Puff.

The tip of the sword pierced through the python's scales and went straight through its body.

The intense pain made the python hiss, and it twisted its body wildly, trying to hide in the Huitong River.

And at this moment, he actually saw a wish on the monster's head.

[Hope to escape from this place...]

"I didn't expect that even spirits could have wishes."

Of course Lin Fan couldn't let the python escape. Once it escaped, Ankang County would be in danger.

Controlling the Qingfeng Sword, with a whoosh, he pierced the python's head directly.

Boom!

The huge body of the python monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, and lay motionless on the ground.

He opened his hand, and the Qingfeng sword flew back to his palm. After making a few sword flowers, he put it back into the storage ring.

Hongluan and the others came hurriedly, and the disciples hiding in the cabin also came out timidly. When the python entangled the merchant ship, they were almost scared to death.

Fortunately, the owner of the museum showed up and rescued them.

"Master, is this a monster?" Han Wei asked.

Lin Fan said, "Well, it should be a monster. This size, strength and speed are definitely not what an ordinary python has. And after fighting with it just now, I found that this monster is able to rival a master of the True Qi Realm. Do you think there can be a beast that is so ferocious?"

Hongluan and Han Wei looked at the monster.

They were all natives of Ankang County. They had only heard about monsters but had never seen one with their own eyes. Now that they saw it, their hearts trembled. They felt terrified. It was indeed very terrified.

"Find some people to take this python back. Its flesh and blood are a great tonic for cultivators and cannot be wasted." Lin Fan said.

What a pity that it is not a tiger-type monster, otherwise it could be used to refine the Monster Blood Tiger Pill.

Soon, the news that Master Lin had hunted a giant python spread throughout Ankang County.

People flocked to the dock to see the python's body.

When seeing such a huge corpse.

All the people were stunned.

As if I had seen it before.

They had never seen such a huge python in their lives. If they were stared at, it would probably be swallowed in one bite.

Not long after returning to Changying Martial Arts School.

Hongluan hurried over with a box, and opened the box under Lin Fan's surprised gaze. Inside lay a fist-sized, blood-stained pill, but the pill looked a little big.

"This was dug out from the python's body. I don't know what it is." Hongluan said.

Lin Fan looked at the pill and said, "It can't be the inner pill of a monster."

"Neidan?"

"I'm not sure, but it looks very similar."

They knew very little about monsters, and as for what was dug out from the python's body, he could only think of the inner elixir.

"It's like the inner elixir of the monster in the storybooks, something that stores essence." Hongluan often listened to storybooks, so she reacted immediately.

"Yes, that's the thing. We can try it out on a dog first and feed it to see how it works." Lin Fan said.

Hongluan turned and left, and when she came back, she was leading a dog.

Then he took out a dagger and cut off a small piece from the inner elixir and threw it on the ground. The dog seemed to smell the scent of the python still remaining on the inner elixir, and was so scared that it collapsed to the ground, unwilling to take the bite even if it died.

Hongluan picked up the small piece, pried open the dog's mouth, and stuffed it directly in.

Watch quietly.

Soon it was discovered that the dog's eyes were red and it was barking wildly. Then it ran out like a madman, came to the garden, jumped into the pool, and drank the water in big gulps to relieve the heat in its body.

Hongluan and Lin Fan were both stunned.

what's the situation?
Is the drug so powerful?

Lin Fan said: "It seems that this is really the inner elixir, and it is not poisonous at all. At the same time, it contains a large amount of essence, which makes the dog unable to bear it."

Hongluan nodded silently.

"I will ask someone to inquire about the situation of the monster's inner elixir. Before getting accurate information, you should not take it rashly." Hongluan said.

"Well, that's good, but I've been wondering, how could monsters appear in Ankang County? Could it be that someone from one of the four dynasties could not resist the monsters and their defenses were breached?" Lin Fan pondered and felt more and more that this was a possibility.

"I don't know. How could we possibly know about this kind of thing?" Hongluan also couldn't figure it out.

Lin Fan didn't say much.

He felt that he really should go out and take a look.

Of course, before that, he felt that it would be safer to improve his strength to the perfect Qi realm.

At night, after returning to his own martial arts gym and drawing the prize, he continued to practice. Although his practice speed was indeed very slow, it made him feel that his own strength was real.

half a month later.

"I used my connections to find this booklet about goblins. It contains what we want to know."

The booklet that Hongluan handed over looked a little worn, with dried blood stains on it, making it appear black and red.

Lin Fan took the booklet and looked at the cover.

"Ghost"

A very easy to understand book title.

Open it and look.

There is no introduction to the origin of the monsters, only the classification of the monsters into several levels.

Spirits and monsters within a hundred years are like humans in the flesh and blood realm.

A monster that is one hundred to two hundred years old is equivalent to the Qi realm. When it is about to break through the two hundred years mark, it has already begun to condense its inner elixir.

The inner elixir-level spirit has reached the realm above the divine realm.

As they grow older, the monsters become more powerful.

"It is indeed the inner elixir. The python I killed should be a spirit that is almost over 200 years old, so it was able to condense the inner elixir."

Lin Fan roughly read the contents of the booklet and understood it.

"This booklet is a bit thin and doesn't contain much content. Do you have any more?"
