Chapter 944 Duel (4)

Lin Hong weakly fell to the ground from the wall.

As he landed, he looked up from his place on the ground at the three pets standing over him before turning to Lin Fan with a look filled with disbelief as he said, "What did you do?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he waved his hand again.

With the wave of his hand, the three pets moved forward again.

This time, they didn't charge at Lin Hong, but rather completely surrounded him.

When the three pets had surrounded him, Lin Hong couldn't help feeling a bad feeling as he said, "What are you planning on…"

Before he could finish his words, with a snap of the fingers from Lin Fan, the three pets raised their front limbs and…

They started trampling on Lin Hong.

They didn't use their force laws and used their paws alone to trample on Lin Hong, but Lin Hong was already injured from being charged at by the three of them. He had also been caught off guard by the sudden attacks of these three pets, so he wasn't able to raise his life energy barrier in time.

As the three of them were trampling him in turn, there was no space given to Lin Hong to react. As the paws stomped down on him, he had no choice but to take it while lying there.

All of the chins of the people watching dropped when they saw this.

They had thought that the duel would end with Lin Hong being blasted out of the arena, but they never thought that Lin Fan would be this cruel.

Finally, some of the cousins closer to Lin Hong couldn't help saying, "Lin Fan, don't take it too far."

They had stopped calling him "cousin" and called him by his name directly to threaten him. It was just too bad that this didn't work at all.

Lin Fan just coldly looked at them and said, "Take it too far? What do you mean? We're just having a duel here."

Hearing the indifferent way that he said this, they all couldn't help feeling a chill run down their spines. It was at that moment that they realized that they had made a mistake.

Their perception of him was completely wrong.

They had thought that he was a pushover that they could easily suppress, but now they realized that they had been too naive…

Lin Fan was the furthest thing away from a pushover.

But hearing these words, Lin Hong who had been lying on the ground being stomped realized something.

That was right!

This was a duel!

Since it was a duel, as long as he gave up, then Lin Fan would have to stop!

As for the implications of losing, he didn't have time to think about that now as he was being trampled on like this. If he continued lying down and being beaten one sidedly like this, he would lose all his reputation.

As for the other things, they could be discussed later on.

After all, Lin Hong didn't believe that Lin Fan had accomplished this all on his own. As long as he complained about Lin Fan relying on outside help to defeat him, then he would at least have a way out.

It was better than his current situation.

So Lin Hong opened his mouth and said, "I surren…Bmhp!"

Once again, before he could say anything, there was a paw that fell down on him.

Before this, those paws had only been trampling his body and avoided his face. However, this time, the paw landed right on his face and stopped him from talking.

The elephant's paw landed right on his face, blocking it completely, which naturally included his mouth. All he could do was muffle out a pained grunt which sounded like nonsense.

But once the elephant's paw came up, Lin Hong endured the pain and tried to say, "I surren…"

Once again, before he could finish these words, there was another paw that landed on his face.

This time, it was the rhino paw that smashed into his face and stopped him from talking.

These paws were all big enough that his face was completely squished and he wasn't able to make a single sound. The only sounds that he could make were the muffled sounds of his pain.

The rhino's paw came off Lin Hong's face and he was about to say something, but this time it was the hippo's paw that smashed his face.

If it was once or twice, he might be able to give an excuse, but it was impossible to deem this as a coincidence now. Not to mention that all of these stomps were timed to fall right as he was about to speak…

It was clear that these stomps were deliberate.

Even the Lin Astral Family juniors on the side could tell that Lin Fan was doing this on purpose.

Indeed, Lin Fan was doing this on purpose.

He had received a task from the Lin Astral Emperor to teach these juniors a lesson, so he was doing that right now.

He had been a scion back on earth and he knew what these Lin Astral Family juniors were thinking.

In the Lin Astral Empire where no one went against them and they could dominate over anyone they met, naturally a sense of pride had been developed. The problem was that the sense of pride that they had developed was too strong and it made them willful.

They didn't have the humility that came with knowing defeat, so they didn't know how to treat others properly.

In cases like this, Lin Fan knew that the best way to deal with them was to crush this pride.

As long as their pride was crushed, they would know how to be humble again.

This was what had happened to him when he came to this world and his soul had combined with the other Lin Fan's.

So he was doing the same with these Lin Astral Family juniors.

As for how he was planning on doing it…Naturally he was going to beat it out of them.

With how he was beating up Lin Hong with that smile on his face, no one among the juniors dared to say a thing.

Finally, it was Lin Tian who came out and said, "Stop it now!"

He used his full prestige as a Peak Sun Realm Expert when he said this and it scared all three of Lin Hong's pets into stopping their actions. It was during this pause that Lin Tian suddenly charged forward and pulled Lin Hong out from under the feet of the three pets.

Once he brought Lin Hong out, the other juniors came over to help him.

He was covered in blood and it looked very serious, but when they looked carefully, they realized that it was nothing more than superficial injuries and his foundation wasn't damaged.

The only real damage that he suffered was mental damage.

Lin Tian knitted his brows when he saw this before he turned to Lin Fan and said in a dark voice, "What is going on here?"

He was surprised to find that Lin Fan didn't back down in the face of his pressure at all and just calmly said, "We were having a duel as proposed by Lin Hong, is there a problem?"

Lin Tian knitted his brows even more as he asked, "A duel?"

He pointed at Lin Hong who was lying there on the ground and asked, "You call this a duel? It's clear that you have lost yourself after living away from our Lin Astral Family for so long. As your elder, it's my duty to teach you a lesson!"

As he said this, he had already raised his hand as if he was about to make a move.

But before he couldn't he suddenly felt a pressure fall onto him as another voice rang out, "Teach him a lesson? And what lesson is that?"

The moment that he heard this voice, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine because he recognized this voice. This was a voice that he would recognize no matter where he heard it because it was a voice that had been deeply imprinted on his mind.

He turned around to see Lin Jian standing there behind him.

The moment that he saw him, he couldn't help being shocked since he hadn't sensed him at all.

In the past, he could at least feel that he was a match for Lin Jian, but now…

He couldn't even understand how Lin Jian had become this strong in exile all these years.

But he couldn't back down now…

So Lin Tian said, "Yes, I said that I would teach him a lesson. Is this any way for them to act as cousins?"

Lin Jian gave a cold snort and said, "Then why aren't you teaching your grandson a lesson for proposing the duel in the first place?"

When Lin Tian heard this, he couldn't help trembling.

Since the servants of the palace had learned about this matter, naturally they would know about it as well. That was the reason why Lin Tian had shown up when Lin Hong had been beaten by Lin Fan to save him.

He had been watching the entire time, waiting to see how the situation developed.

Lin Tian opened his mouth and closed it again and again, not being able to say anything in the end.

After all, there was nothing that he could refute him with…

He was right, it was Lin Hong who had proposed the duel in the first place and it was already embarrassing enough.

Since that was the case, he turned to the other juniors and said, "We're leaving."

Without even looking back, he started leaving with Lin Hong and the others.

But then, a voice rang out behind him, "What about the terms of the duel?"
