New and dark light years

Chapter 463 The Qin Family's Scheme?
Upon emerging from the secret room, Li Lin did not light a tinderbox.

Besides the light, Li Lin could also use the paper figures to judge the general terrain around him.

He hid behind a stone pillar in a corner, a very narrow place that most people wouldn't notice.

Moreover, he even squatted down.

The person was completely invisible, and even their scent had been eliminated.

Several very light footsteps slowly drifted in from outside.

If it weren't so quiet here, Li Lin probably wouldn't have heard these footsteps.

This shows that the person who came here has an extremely powerful ability to move lightly.

These people were not carrying tinder, and it is unknown how they managed to walk in the extreme darkness.

Li Lin used the small paper figures hiding in the crevices of the rocks to monitor the movements of these people.

There were six people who arrived, and judging from their aura, each of them was a master of the fifth rank or above.

One of them might even be a fourth-rank martial artist.

These people wandered around the secret cave, seemingly searching for something. One of them even came to within a few feet of Li Lin's hiding place, but after lingering there for a while, he tiptoed away to search other places.

These people searched inside for several rounds but couldn't find Li Lin. Then someone lit a tinderbox.

With the light, Li Lin could see what these people looked like.

The six men were all middle-aged and extremely robust.

Most martial artists cultivate vital energy, which has the effect of strengthening the body, so they are very strong and muscular.

The six men huddled together, and one of them, a man with a scar on his forehead, said, "Strange, he clearly came in, and I saw his footprints outside. Where did he go?"

Just then, someone next to them took out a small insect from their clothes; it looked like a beetle.

The thing flew up, circled in the air a few times, and then flew back to the man's hand.

"I, this insect, can also smell the man's lingering scent, but... I can't find the exact location."

The group looked around, and one of them said, "His footsteps disappeared in front of the cliff; there must be a secret chamber or mechanism inside."

"Then let's lie in ambush and catch him off guard when he comes out."

"it is good."

After saying this, the tinderbox went out, and the group of people found places to hide.

Then a person slowly walked up to Li Lin's side.

This person probably felt safer hiding in a corner.

Then he squeezed in too.

Li Lin smiled.

The poisonous wine slipped from his sleeve and landed in his hand.

The man walked over slowly, and then felt a chill in his chest.

If an ordinary person were stabbed in the chest, they would immediately lose the ability to resist, and would be unable to speak or move their hands, and would die instantly.

But this man was, after all, a fifth-rank martial artist. A surge of blood energy within him transformed into his final strength.

He screamed, "Someone's here..."

Then, he clenched his fists, ready to strike.

But Li Lin was even faster.

With a swift left hand strike, the man's forehead was slapped with a tiger-shaped claw, sending him flying backward, his brains splattering from the back of his head.

The White Tiger Turning Stance, driven by spiritual energy, has transcended the concept of martial arts and is closer to a celestial art.

This man was a fifth-rank martial artist with exceptional external skills. Logically speaking, if he were struck by any palm, even a first-rank master, he wouldn't die so tragically. But he just happened to run into Li Lin.

The man was sent flying backwards, his eyes wide open.

He was already dead, but because of his excessive blood energy, his body was not completely dead yet. His hands and feet were still twitching instinctively, as if he wanted to attack the enemies around him.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the other five people.

"Fifth brother, what happened!"

"Ah Hu, speak up."

Three people rushed over, and at the same time, a tinderbox was lit.

Then all five of them stopped.

Because in front of them stood hundreds of paper figures.

Swordsmen and spearmen have already formed a battle formation.

Beside Li Lin stood three paper figures of the Tree Fairy Goddess.

"Paper Prince, when..."

The five men were terrified.

The man with a scar on his forehead shouted, "Get out of here!"

"But the fifth brother..."

"If we don't evacuate, it will be too late."

The man turned around and tried to run away, but stopped after taking only two steps.

Because the passage they came from, which was also the only passage, was crowded with paper figures, making the place impossible to pass.

The paper figures approached step by step, surrounding them in a circle that grew smaller and smaller.

The five dared not act recklessly. In this environment, those paper figures with purple aura on their faces looked eerie no matter how you looked at them.

"Five heroes, are you here to see me?" Li Lin asked with a smile.

“No, we’re just passing by…” the leading man said slowly.

Li Lin looked at him and asked, "May I ask what your nickname is in the martial arts world, and what your surname and given name are?"

In the martial arts world, nicknames are much more recognizable than real names.

Few people would recognize someone by their given name, but if you mentioned their nickname, many would know who they were. "Lei Linshan, the boxing fanatic of western Yunnan," the man said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. "We did not intend to be enemies with the Paper Prince; we were simply following someone and stumbled upon this place."

Li Lin laughed and said, "I've been listening to you talk the whole time. Do you think I believe you or not?"

Upon hearing this, none of the five spoke.

Lei Linshan then asked, "Young Master Paper, can this matter be let go? We brothers were blind and offended you. Please give us a chance."

"If you were in my position, would you negotiate?"

The five remained silent; naturally, they refused.

Only an idiot would shake hands and make peace with the enemy when they have such a huge advantage.

“If the five of us insist on breaking out, you might not be able to kill us all,” someone shouted, pointing at Li Lin.

Li Lin shook his head: "You can give it a try."

Lei Linshan pressed down on the man who was swearing and continued, "We can pay the price."

"Tell me who sent you, and I may leave you with a complete corpse."

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

"Then let's not talk... let's fight."

Before Li Lin could finish speaking, he saw a barrage of hidden weapons suddenly attacking from the opposite side.

The hidden weapon came suddenly and extremely quickly.

But the three tree fairy goddesses guarding Li Lin reacted even faster.

The paper wall formed by the three tails blocked all the hidden weapons.

Then the paper figures were pressed forward.

In an instant, the sounds of fighting erupted.

Li Lin took two steps back and just watched without making a move.

More than three hundred paper figures were used to suppress five martial artists.

It must be said that the fifth-rank martial artists are very strong, especially Lei Linshan. As a fourth-rank martial artist, his strength is even more astonishing. When he throws a punch, the shockwave sweeps like a tidal wave and can knock away more than a dozen paper figures. But while he is knocking away more than a dozen paper figures, more than a dozen paper guns and more than a dozen large knives come from the side to stab him.

He can block five broadswords and five spears with his bare hands, but what can he do?

The remaining spears and broadswords pierced and slashed at him.

He was highly skilled and had extremely tough skin. Paper guns that could pierce ordinary people and paper knives that could cut ordinary people in two would only leave a few bloody holes and shallow scratches on his body.

Although there was bleeding, it wasn't a serious injury.

The problem is... these paper figures seem to be endless.

He had just sent more than a dozen paper figures flying and shattered when even more paper figures stood up.

At this moment, Lei Linshan finally understood the true value of the nickname "Paper Prince" in the martial arts world.

"If you've got the guts, stand up and fight us! What kind of skill is it to hide behind these monsters!"

Lei Linshan unleashed his energy, sending more than a dozen paper figures flying again. However, this also left him with even more wounds, his entire body covered in blood, knife marks, and bullet holes, leaving no part of his body unscathed.

"Second brother, I've cleared a path, you guys charge..."

Lei Linshan planned to sacrifice himself to cover the rear so that his brothers could escape first.

But at that moment, he heard a scream. Turning his head, he saw that the second brother's right hand had been cut off and he was surrounded by countless paper figures.

Poke, poke, poke; chop, chop, chop.

In less than ten breaths, it had turned into minced meat.

Seeing this, Lei Linshan's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "Second brother..."

Immediately afterwards, three more screams came from the side. He turned his head and saw that his other three brothers had also fallen down and were swallowed up by the paper figures in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Lei Linshan looked up to the sky and let out a long, mournful howl.

His hands hung down, and he stopped resisting.

But at that moment, the paper figures also stopped.

Li Lin stood behind the army of paper figures, holding a tinderbox and watching him.

Lei Linshan's eyes were filled with despair and resentment: "Why don't you kill me? Do it!"

The sound was shrill and mournful.

Li Lin said, "Tell me, who sent you?"

Lei Linshan looked at Li Lin with disdain: "You think I'm afraid of torture and death? You underestimate me too much, Paper Prince."

Li Lin shook his head and said, "I know most people in the martial arts world are not afraid of death, but that doesn't matter. I can investigate your identities. After I find out, I can deal with your relatives and friends slowly."

He now enjoys using this method to threaten others.

He discovered that the vast majority of people in the martial arts world were afraid of this move.

He wouldn't actually do that, but that doesn't stop him from using it to scare people.

Upon hearing this, Lei Linshan became enraged. He tried to rush towards Li Lin, but was instead stabbed in the body by more than twenty spears and thrown to the ground.

He gripped the paper gun, roaring angrily, the veins on his forehead bulging, which was extremely frightening.

“Paper Prince, you are despicable!” Lei Linshan struggled frantically, as if he felt no pain. Even with more than a dozen guns inside his body, he twisted and turned violently: “You are not worthy of being a Jianghu person.”

Li Lin laughed and said, "First, I am not a member of the martial arts world. Second, you provoked me first, so you should be prepared to be retaliated against. You can't think that you can erase all grudges just by dying, can you? Wouldn't it be too pitiful for me as the victim? Those who harbor evil intentions first should suffer the consequences. There must be fairness in the martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Lei Linshan suddenly stopped moving. He let out a few bitter laughs: "Hahaha, you're right... but if I confess, my family and friends will die too."

"Not necessarily. What if I kill the person who wants to harm me first?" Li Lin laughed.

Lei Linshan paused for a moment, then said, "You really would do that?"

"Anyway, if you don't tell, your relatives and friends will definitely die. If you tell... they might have a chance to live, right?"

Lei Linshan took a deep breath and said, "Qin Fang sent us."

Li Lin's eyes narrowed subconsciously.
