CHAPTER 873: CHAPTER 890: THREAT

If Huangfu Zhan issued a challenge to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng accepted it, then even if Ye Feng were to die at Huangfu Zhan’s hands, the Old War God would not pursue Huangfu Zhan for it. As for Lin Shiyu, if she voluntarily left, the Old War God wouldn’t stop her either.

Huangfu Zhan thought to himself, as long as he brought Lin Shiyu back to the Huangfu Family and reported to the Shushan Sword Sect,

then he would personally issue a challenge to Ye Feng, and at that time, he could still kill Ye Feng.

Having calculated his plans, Huangfu Zhan looked towards Lin Shiyu: "Lin Shiyu, I ask you, are you willing to follow me back to the Huangfu Family?" Everyone’s eyes focused on Lin Shiyu, looking at her with solemn expressions.

Lin Shiyu immediately shook her head, refusing outright: "I am not willing!"

Upon hearing Lin Shiyu’s words, Huangfu Zhan furrowed his brows, his face turning very unpleasant: "Lin Shiyu, the Huangfu Family is your real family. Back then, when the Huangfu Family faced a great calamity, your father, who was my brother, was forced to send you away. The Huangfu Family is your ultimate home. What’s wrong with returning to the Huangfu Family?"

Lin Shiyu shook her head: "I grew up in the Lin Family; the Lin Family raised me. My surname is Lin, not Huangfu; the Lin Family of Lin Tian City is my home, not the Huangfu Family, and I am not a tool for your political marriage!"

After hearing Lin Shiyu’s response, fury flashed in Huangfu Zhan’s eyes.

"What do you know? In the future, you can marry into Shushan! Do you know what Shushan is? Shushan is the mythical Immortal Land of the Dragon Country. By going there, you might learn the Immortal cultivation methods and possibly achieve the legendary state of breaking through the void and ascending, attaining eternal life. Do you understand?"

Huangfu Zhan tempted Lin Shiyu, telling her about how good a place the Shushan Sword Sect was.

However, a determined expression appeared in Lin Shiyu’s eyes: "I don’t want eternal life, nor do I want to go to any Immortal Land. I just wish to spend these few decades happily with my family."

"Foolish!" Huangfu Zhan was immediately enraged. He couldn’t understand why, when one could pursue immortality at the Shushan Sword Sect, which was a dream countless people yearned for, Lin Shiyu was not moved at all.

Huangfu Zhan looked at Lin Shiyu and shouted loudly: "I ask you again, are you really unwilling to return to the Huangfu Family with me?"

"Unwilling!" Lin Shiyu responded decisively without any hesitation.

Huangfu Zhan was instantly furious: "Fine! Fine!" He repeated the word "fine" twice: "I have my ways to make you leave!"

"Swish!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Zhan turned into a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, Huangfu Zhan was beside Lin Zhen. At this time, Lin Zhen was standing together with Gao Tianshou and Sheng Xingzi. When they saw Huangfu Zhan, their faces turned extremely ugly, and they felt enormous pressure, fear apparent in their eyes as they looked at Huangfu Zhan.

Huangfu Zhan walked directly towards Lin Zhen, but Sheng Xingzi immediately blocked his path, frowning, and shouted loudly: "What are you trying to do?"

"Scram!" Huangfu Zhan roared angrily, raising his hand and a slap landed heavily on Sheng Xingzi’s face. The terrifying force was unbearable for Sheng Xingzi, who didn’t even have time to react.

"Pa!" A crisp sound resonated around.

Sheng Xingzi’s face completely twisted, and he was instantly sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.

Sheng Xingzi spat out a mouthful of blood, accompanied by several teeth, heavily injured by just a single slap from Huangfu Zhan. Yet Sheng Xingzi did not faint, showing a resolute expression in his eyes.

"Do not approach Lin Zhen!" Sheng Xingzi roared, instantly increasing his speed to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Huangfu Zhan’s side, blocking his path once more.

Seeing Sheng Xingzi dare to come back, Huangfu Zhan’s fury intensified: "You bastard, courting death!"

As soon as he spoke, Huangfu Zhan raised his fist and punched heavily into Sheng Xingzi’s stomach.

"Boom!" The punch sank heavily into Sheng Xingzi’s stomach, with a formidable punch wind piercing through Sheng Xingzi’s body, transforming into a massive energy column that extended several hundred meters before it slowly dissipated.

"Ugh~~" Unable to resist, Sheng Xingzi spat out another mouthful of blood, mixed with fragmented flesh.

Sheng Xingzi’s internal organs were partially shattered, yet he didn’t die.

This was because Huangfu Zhan held back; if he hadn’t, even though Sheng Xingzi was a Legendary-level expert at the initial stage, Huangfu Zhan could still easily kill him like crushing an ant.

But as the Old War God said, he had already broken the agreement by killing many ordinary people.

Now, Huangfu Zhan dared not easily kill anyone casually. His previous arrogance was due to not knowing the Old War God was present. Now knowing the Old War God was here, Huangfu Zhan was more restrained, avoiding taking anyone’s life lightly.

With his body softening, Sheng Xingzi fell to his knees on the ground, and Huangfu Zhan, full of disdain, casually pushed Sheng Xingzi’s forehead, causing him to collapse weakly to the ground, with his breath extremely weak, on the verge of death.

If it were anyone else, they would have been dead on the spot.

Then Huangfu Zhan continued walking towards Lin Zhen, with Gao Tianshou’s eyes showing a look of anger.

"Stop right there!" Gao Tianshou stood in front of Lin Zhen, shouting loudly.

Gao Tianshou was a powerful master at the level of Innate Perfection, while Lin Zhen was just an ordinary person, so Gao Tianshou naturally had to protect Lin Zhen.

"Move aside!" But Huangfu Zhan, without even glancing at Gao Tianshou, raised his arm and slapped Gao Tianshou heavily across the face, leaving him with no time to react, dodge, or defend.

"Pa!" With that sound, Gao Tianshou was sent flying and finally crashed onto the ground, completely unconscious.

Subsequently, Huangfu Zhan approached Lin Zhen, whose eyes displayed terror as he looked at Huangfu Zhan, asking in a trembling voice: "What... what... what do you want to do..."

However, before Lin Zhen could finish his words, Huangfu Zhan extended his left hand and grasped Lin Zhen’s throat, lifting him up.
