Fairy Eye

"Are you refusing a polite offer and then having to suffer the consequences?"

Upon hearing Han Lin's words, Skinny Fourth's tone immediately turned icy.

"Do you really think you're someone important? If it weren't for your face, with your mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivation, I wouldn't even bother to glance at you!"

"That's perfect then. Just pretend I don't exist. Farewell!" Han Lin said coldly, cupping his hands in greeting before turning and walking outside.

"You're asking for it."

Watching Han Lin's retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the skinny fourth brother.

It was already late at night, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Han Lin walked slowly down the street with one hand behind his back, occasionally using his Sky-Piercing Eye to observe the movements behind him.

To his surprise, the skinny fourth brother didn't come out.

Han Lin was still worried, so he went to a corner and hid to secretly observe, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the skinny fourth brother.

"Has this guy really given up?"

Han Lin lowered his eyelids, pondered for a moment, then walked into a quiet alley and quickly moved through it.

Half an incense stick later, Han Lin emerged from between two houses and rushed into the dark forest without looking back.

Although I don't know what Skinny Fourth is thinking, it's never wrong to stay away from him.

But unexpectedly...

Han Lin had only been in the woods for a short while when a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from behind him, startling him. He then leaped onto a large tree next to him.

Just as I held my breath, I saw a bulky figure wearing a straw hat flash by from a distance and land on the ground not far away.

"Come down, stop hiding."

Skinny Fourth Brother slowly took off his straw hat, revealing a flat and long head, staring straight at the place where Han Lin was hiding.

How did you find me?

Han Lin's face turned somewhat grim, and he jumped down from the tree with a thud.

"Hehe, it's fine to tell you. I've mastered a tracking technique that allows me to easily lock onto someone's aura. The more times we meet, the easier it is to sense their presence! Otherwise, why do you think I could recognize you at a glance?"

The skinny fourth brother smirked, looking at Han Lin with a mocking expression.

Then he took out a scarlet pill and said to Han Lin, "Black-faced monster, I'm giving you one last chance to choose."

"Should I obediently swallow this 'Corrupting Heart Pill' and become my servant?"

"Or choose death?"

Rotten Heart Pill?

"Hmph! So what if you've reached 70% Qi Refining? Do you really think you've got me cornered? We can decide your choice after you beat me."

Upon hearing this, Han Lin's heart sank. He immediately pulled out a Swift Wind Talisman, stuck it on his body, and turned to run.

"A mere fourth floor dares to be so insolent in front of me! Today I'll show you what I, Skinny Fourth, can do."

Seeing this, the skinny fourth brother was enraged. He turned into a blur and chased after Han Lin. Even with the help of the Gale Talisman, Han Lin could not match his speed.

In the blink of an eye, Skinny Fourth Brother had arrived behind Han Lin and, without any mercy, flipped his hand, causing a golden ball of light to suddenly appear.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, a burst of colorful light flashed across Han Lin's body, and he was instantly sent flying forward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Huh? He's still alive!"

Seeing that Han Lin was only spitting out blood, the skinny fourth brother looked surprised and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What was that colorful cover all about?"

Han Lin didn't bother to explain. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and summoned the Silver Serpent Bow.

With a loud bang, a semi-transparent energy, almost tangible, shot towards the skinny fourth brother with lightning speed.

"Silver Serpent Bow!"

Skinny Fourth Brother cried out in surprise, twisted his body, and dodged an arrow.

Before he could regain his footing, Han Lin's second arrow flew over!

Skinny Fourth Brother's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly threw out a brown shield to block in front of him. With a loud bang, the shield was knocked back and slammed into Skinny Fourth Brother's chest.

"You're asking for it!"

Skinny Fourth Brother felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, both shocked and furious.

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a blur and charged towards Han Lin! Without hesitation, Han Lin used the Azure Cloud Step to dodge to the side.

laugh!

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out behind Han Lin.

Han Lin's hair stood on end, and in an instant, a colorful light flashed across his body, and a faint five-colored barrier appeared out of thin air.

chap!

The Five Elements Shield had just been formed and was not yet stable when a bright sword tip pierced the surface of the barrier.

In the blink of an eye, a snap was heard and the Five Elements Shield vanished without a trace.

The sword pierced straight in, aiming for Han Lin's back.

Han Lin was terrified and used all his strength to dodge to the side, immediately followed by a piercing pain in his back.

A gleaming sword tip pierced through his chest, dripping blood onto the withered leaves in front of him.

"I must say, you do have some skill, but to think you can survive in front of me, Skinny Fourth, with your mere Qi Refining Level 4 is a gross underestimation of me."

Skinny Fourth Brother gripped the hilt of his sword, staring coldly at the back of Han Lin's head.

He then forcefully pulled his longsword out and slashed horizontally towards Han Lin's neck. If this strike landed, it would definitely decapitate Han Lin.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Han Lin suddenly turned around, and at the same time, a purple light shot out from his hand, striking the skinny fourth brother's chest hard.

The two were less than three feet apart. It was too late for the skinny fourth brother to dodge. In a panic, he risked mutual injury and still slashed his sword at Han Lin's neck.

As Han Lin threw the short sword, he crouched down.

puff!

Swish!

The sound of a short sword piercing flesh and the sound of a long sword cutting through the air rang out simultaneously.

A large patch of Han Lin's black hair was cut off and flew off his head.

But the skinny fourth brother clutched his chest and let out a scream. The purple short sword had struck him squarely in the heart.

"impossible……"

He stared at Han Lin, who was so close to him, his face filled with resentment and disbelief.

That short sword was no ordinary weapon; otherwise, even at a distance of only two feet, he could have dodged it and avoided being struck directly in the heart.

Han Lin's hair was disheveled, making him look particularly ferocious.

He didn't say much to Skinny Fourth Brother, but used all his strength to dodge backward. At the same time, he raised his hand and a golden throwing knife flew out, aiming straight for Skinny Fourth Brother's forehead.

The fourth skinny man's life force was rapidly fading. Seeing this, he instinctively tried to dodge, but he was clearly powerless. With the slightest movement, he was hit squarely by the flying knife, a gap opened between his eyebrows, and blood gushed out.

Then his body tilted to the side and he fell to the ground with a thud, and then he was silent for the rest of the time.

Seeing this, Han Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sharp pain in his chest forced him to look down.

The already black robes appeared even blacker after being stained with blood, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.

A flash of pain crossed Han Lin's face. He pointed his fingers around the wound and the bleeding stopped instantly.

He looked at the corpse of the skinny fourth brother, secretly relieved, then clutched his chest and moved toward it step by step with difficulty.

The sword that pierced his body almost grazed his heart; if he hadn't dodged it with all his might, none of what happened later would have occurred.
