Chapter 609 Night Hunting (5)

Even though he was panicking on the inside, he knew that he couldn't show that panic on the outside.

The only thing that was keeping him alive was the intelligence that he had and the moment he showed his panic, revealing part of the intelligence that he had, he would be one step closer to death.

Shi Yan didn't say anything for a while, but then he said with a calm look, "I don't know what you're talking about. What does the Assassins Association have to do with any of this?"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "I see."

Then Shi Yan started feeling pressure from the sword that was above his neck as it began falling, cutting into his skin.

,m The moment that he felt this pain from the sword, he immediately shouted out, "Stop, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

As soon as his voice rang out, the sword stopped falling. However, the damage had already been done as blood started dripping down the sides of Shi Yan's neck, blood that wasn't there before. It washed across the drops of blood that had fallen from his severed arms and washed away part of the blood that had started to dry.

Shi Yan couldn't help being shocked by what had just happened.

This maniac, did he not know how to interrogate someone properly?

Normally when interrogating someone, they would always resist at first and you would have to slowly coax them or break them until they gave you the information that you wanted. However, this maniac didn't even care about any of that as he immediately slashed down with his sword.

He had felt the killing intent and he knew that if he hadn't called out in time, his head would have already been separated from the rest of his body.

As this thought passed through his mind, there was a chill that ran through his body.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan had already moved the blade of his sword back up, or else Shi Yan would have been cut if the sword was still in his neck.

Still, the damage had been done since his voice had been a bit hoarse when he shouted out from his throat being cut.

After moving the sword back over his neck, Lin Fan said, "Well? Talk."

Shi Yan's mind was racing at a hundred kilometers an hour, trying to figure out a way to stall, but Lin Fan didn't give him that chance.

Seeing that Shi Yan wasn't saying anything, his sword started falling down again, cutting into Shi Yan's neck again.

Shi Yan felt the pain of the sword cutting him and he immediately said, "Wait, wait, I'll tell you about the Assassins Association."

Lin Fan's blade stopped, but he didn't bring it up like he had done last time as he looked down at Shi Yan, waiting for him to talk.

Shi Yan could see the dead look in Lin Fan's eyes, so he said, "The Assassins Association found the Ancient Era Ruins with the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect by accident, so we had no choice but to work with them as well."

Lin Fan didn't drop the blade next time, but it was clear by the look in his eyes that he didn't fully believe him.

Still, Lin Fan didn't mind this and quickly asked, "Then what is your plan? Is it just the Ancient Era Ruins, or…"

Shi Yan paused for a second before saying, "What else would it be for if it isn't for the Ancient Era Ruins? Who doesn't want to become strong…"

Before he could finish, he stopped making any sound.

His mouth was still moving, but there weren't any words that came out since his head had already been separated from the rest of his body. Even if his mouth moved, there were no vocal cords there to provide the sound.

In the last few seconds of his life, his eyes revealed a look of shock as he stared right at Lin Fan.

Even in his final moments, he couldn't believe that Lin Fan had actually killed him like this.

He was certain that Lin Fan would have kept the interrogation going a bit longer or would have chickened out in the end because of the influence of his Shi Family, but he never thought that he would be this decisive in cutting off his head.

In those very last moments, he felt a trace of regret.

It wasn't regret for choosing to make Lin Fan his enemy, but rather for not using his full power to crush him sooner.

He firmly believed that if he took care of this sooner, he would have been able to kill Lin Fan before he was able to gain this kind of power.

After all, he still didn't believe that Lin Fan himself could have killed him. The only reason he was able to kill him was that strange Child Soul Realm Artifact with the different coloured glows.

After killing Shi Yan, Lin Fan didn't bother looking at his corpse at all.

Rather he waved his hand and there was a white dagger that appeared.

This was the other half of the Iron Eater Bone Artifact that he had thrown out, the dagger that had stabbed Shi Yan.

He had split the Iron Eater Bone Artifact in half, which had reduced its power, but he had made up for it with his five mixed laws.

In fact, Lin Fan actually had more than five laws right now, but five laws was the stable amount that both his body and the Iron Eater Bone Artifact could hold without breaking down. If he had injected more laws into the Iron Eater Bone Artifact, it would have started to break down from the strain of those mixing laws.

He brought the two blades together and they reformed into a single blade before disappearing.

Lin Fan turned his attention back to Brainy who was controlling the array of his five pets that was trapping the other members of Shi Yan's group.

The black figures all had very sorry appearances and there were even a few of them that were sprawled on the ground, not making a single movement. It was clear that they were already dead.

The few remaining black figures didn't have time at all to see what was happening with Shi Yan as they were trying to keep their lives under Brainy's assault.

There were multiple balls of light that had formed all around them, trapping them in the center without giving them a way out. From time to time, there would be balls of light that would fly out, turning into blades of light, aimed at the black figures in the center.

The black figures would do all they could to dodge, but the blades of light were arranged in such a way that it reduced the amount of space that they had to dodge until they had no choice but to take a hit. However, it only took a single hit to take a black figure down, so that single hit was enough.

This was what had happened to the black figures on the ground.

The ones that were still alive were the ones that had pushed their allies into the path of the blades of light just to survive.

Even now, they were all watching each other as well, trying to make sure that they were the last to survive since that was all that mattered to them. After all, there was only a chance to escape if they survived to the end.

Lin Fan walked over to Brainy and asked, "How long will it take?"

Brainy didn't look at Lin Fan and said, "It'll take longer if you don't help."

Lin Fan just responded with, "Un."

Then without another word, he raised his hand to pull out a white dagger that he immediately threw out.

One of the black figures had just dodged a blade of light, but then he felt another sensation of danger approaching him.

When he turned in the direction of that sensation of danger, he found a white dagger covered in five different glows flying right at his chest. However, even though he saw it, he wasn't able to dodge it at all as it pierced right through his chest, creating a hole there.

With one last breath, the black figure fell to the ground.

The white dagger disappeared after stabbing that black figure, reappearing in Lin Fan's hand.

Without any words, he threw it out once again and it pierced through another black figure.

Again and again the white dagger flew out until there were only two black figures left. At which time, he lowered his hand and said, "The rest of them are yours."

Brainy just gave a nod in response.

It didn't take long for Brainy to take care of the remaining two black figures.

During this time, Lin Fan had already gone back to the Xu Family group and led them out of this area.

In no time, there were only the corpses of the black figures and Shi Yan left in this place.

When the people who were assigned to clean up the mess arrived, they were shocked by what they had found and immediately reported it to Lei Feng.

However, this wasn't the only thing that was happening in this city.

All over Harmony City, there were many groups that were fighting and killing each other for the items that they had won in the auction.

This was just how auctions went.

You might be able to win an item, but if you didn't have the ability to keep it…

No one could say anything.
