New and dark light years

Chapter 431 Another Tang Family

Li Lin has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he is particularly sensitive to his surroundings.

How could he not sense the overwhelming murderous intent emanating from these people?

He retreated swiftly, and the tails of the five tree fairy goddesses intertwined, forming a huge 'wall' that blocked the middle of the road, almost completely obstructing the street.

A clanging sound rang out.

A large number of hidden weapons struck the shield wall formed by the tails of the five tree fairy goddesses.

It produces a crisp, metallic clanging sound.

“Use fire, those five are paper figures.”

Several small canisters immediately flew over and smashed into the shield wall, shattering into pieces.

Then a smell of kerosene spread.

Li Lin did not put away the five Tree Fairy Goddesses; instead, the Bone-Slaying Wine fell from his sleeve into his palm.

The enemy's fire arrows came flying towards us.

Li Lin also unleashed his lightning strike.

The rocket struck the 'shield wall' which was covered in oil, and flames erupted with a 'boom'.

At the same time, the six bolts of lightning that Li Lin unleashed accurately struck the six masked men who looked the most 'outspoken'.

The explosions continued, and the six masked men were blown to pieces. Their blood, heated by the lightning, sprayed everywhere like scalding hot water.

Several masked men who couldn't dodge in time were immediately burned and screamed.

"His paper figure is on fire, he's crippled, go for it!"

A masked man shouted.

At this moment, Li Lin's gaze shifted to this person.

When the man saw Li Lin's gaze fall upon him, he was terrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning, thicker than the previous one, struck the man, causing the masked man to 'explode' instantly.

Its body was shattered more completely than the previous person's.

The other masked men ignored everything and jumped off the wall, charging towards Li Lin.

The five paper figures have already burned and are no longer useful. They can kill Li Lin by passing over the paper figures.

After all, without the paper figures, the Paper Prince's strength would decrease by at least 70%.

Then... five enormous tails wreathed in flames swept these people into a bloody pulp.

The five 'Tree Fairy Goddesses' were completely unharmed amidst the burning flames.

Even after the flames had burned out, there were no charred marks on the 'body' of these paper figures.

The paper figures powered by spiritual energy, especially those specially 'enhanced' by Li Lin, did not show a significant improvement in combat power, but their defense saw a qualitative leap.

Ordinary water and fire can no longer affect this specially reinforced paper figure.

These tree spirits can not only swim in water, but are also unafraid of mortal fire.

After the attacking assassins were all turned into mincemeat, only three masked men, who were a step too slow to react because they were scalded by the 'hot blood,' remained alive.

Upon seeing this, two of them turned and ran.

But after two loud bangs, the two men were also struck by lightning and their bodies were shattered.

Seeing that there wasn't a single intact corpse around, the only remaining masked man was too frightened to move.

The flames on the five tree fairy goddesses had completely disappeared, and they were now surrounding the survivor.

Li Lin walked over and said, "Take off your mask."

The survivor hesitated for a moment, then removed the black cloth from his face, revealing a young face.

"What is your identity? Who sent you?" Li Lin asked.

The young man remained silent.

Li Lin said, "I still have things to do, and I don't have much patience."

The young man looked up, his whole body trembling: "No, I'm telling you, I'll die too."

“You’ll still die even if you don’t tell, and you’ll die a very painful death.”

“It’s different, we…”

At this point, the young man's expression suddenly changed drastically. He gripped his neck tightly with both hands, his face turning bright red, then purple. Li Lin sensed something was wrong and immediately took a few steps back.

At this moment, the young man's face had turned bluish-purple, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to burst out.

And in the next instant, his two eyes really did explode.

With two loud bangs, only two dark holes remained around his eyes.

He let out a scream and frantically scratched his face with both hands.

At that moment, Li Lin instinctively covered his mouth and nose. He smelled a familiar odor—a disgusting, insect-like smell.

Then, two red centipedes, each about the size of a thumb, crawled out of the man's bloody eye holes and sprang to the ground, quickly moving towards Li Lin.

The carapaces on these two centipedes have a metallic texture.

Before Li Lin could even make a move, the five blue tails slapped the two centipedes into a pulp.

Bewitching people!

Even the capital city couldn't stop the infiltration from Yue County.

But who is behind these Gu people, and how did they know that he was going to leave here this afternoon... He suddenly remembered that he had sent a visiting card to the Privy Councilor's house yesterday, and that's probably when the news got out.

But who in the capital would be so determined to kill him?

Butler Qin doesn't have that ability.

Who would that be?
There's too little information; I can't figure it out.

After thinking for a while without reaching a conclusion, Li Lin looked around and, finding no one in front or behind him, crouched down in the shadows and stealthily left.

Before long, someone finally came following the sound of thunder.

Then came terrified screams and the sound of vomiting.

After all, the situation here is too dire.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Li Lin came to a large willow tree, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he revealed himself and continued walking towards the Privy Councilor's house.

After a while, they arrived in front of the 'Liu Mansion'.

The gatekeeper saw Li Lin, stepped forward, and asked politely, "Young man, what are you doing lingering in front of my Liu family's gate?"

"Li Lin, the General Commander of Jin County and the Local Garrison Commander, has come to pay a visit."

"Oh, someone did deliver a visiting card yesterday. The master is waiting in the main hall. Young Master Li, please follow me."

"Thank you for your trouble, old man."

"You are Welcome."

The two walked one after the other through the long, winding corridor and arrived at the central hall.

An elderly man with gray hair was sitting there.

Li Lin first handed the gift box to the gatekeeper, then walked over, bowed and said, "This humble official, Li Lin, the garrison commander of Jin County, pays his respects to Privy Councilor Liu."

Liu Song looked at Li Lin and gestured for him to enter.

Li Lin then sat down on the chair next to him.

Before Li Lin could speak, Liu Song asked, "I was sitting here enjoying tea when I heard several loud claps of thunder, seemingly caused by human intervention. When Commander Li came from outside, did he witness the cause?"

Li Lin shook his head: "Although I heard it, I didn't see anything. It was probably a thunderclap."

Liu Song gave Li Lin a deep look and said, "There was a group of masked men who secretly hid in the northeast corner of my house. I thought they were going to assassinate me and was about to find someone to deal with them, but I didn't expect them to jump outside. Commander Li, you have to pass through that road to come here. Didn't you see anything strange?"

"did not see."

Liu Song nodded: "Then what is the purpose of Governor Li's visit?"

Li Lin said, "Please, Privy Councilor Liu, support me in becoming a military governor."

"Do you really need this identity?"

“This way it’s easier to get things done, and I can guarantee peace in southern Xinjiang.”

Liu Song laughed and said, "Can you really guarantee that it won't turn into another Tang Family Army?"

Li Lin calmly said, "The Tang family is the Tang family, and I am me."

"Everyone can say nice things, but how will you prove your loyalty to the Great Qi?"

Li Lin said, "I can only prove myself if Daqi gives me a chance."
