The boy suddenly made a move, his face reflecting a ruthlessness. In his hands appeared a short dagger, aimed directly at Fang Lin’s face.
He sought to seize Fang Lin’s life while he was severely injured!
Fang Lin was certainly taken aback and never expected to be ambushed on this Flying Boat.
However, Fang Lin was not injured. His injuries were feigned, and even though the boy thought he had the upper hand, he didn’t anticipate Fang Lin’s incredibly quick reaction. Sensing something amiss, Fang Lin responded instantly.
Boom!
Fang Lin kicked out, directly sending the boy flying. The dagger grazed past Fang Lin’s nose, and had it moved a little further, it would have injured him.
The boy, slapped in the face with his failed attack, looked severely displeased and suddenly vanished from Fang Lin’s sight.
“Hmm?” Fang Lin’s eyes narrowed, and he pulled out his Big Skull Mace from the Nine Palace Bag.
Whoosh!
A cold light appeared out of nowhere, and the boy had reappeared behind Fang Lin, aiming to stab at his heart.
All of Fang Lin’s hair stood on end, this boy even knew the secret technique to conceal himself.
The dagger came too fast, and too suddenly. Fang Lin had no time to dodge, he could only resist head-on.
The boy had an ominous look of triumph on his face as though he had already envisioned Fang Lin dying under his blade.
But in the next moment, the boy’s face abruptly changed. His dagger struck as if onto a stone, unable to pierce in.
The defense of Breaking Peak!
Fang Lin had refined the immortal blood, received the heritage of Breaking Peak, and possessed a terrifying defense. He deployed it in this critical moment.
Although the dagger was sharp, it was after all just an ordinary blade. It was an unrealistic expectation for it to harm Fang Lin, who could currently be compared to a Demon Beast in the form of a human.
Fang Lin regained his senses and fiercely swung the Big Skull Mace towards the boy.
The boy gritted his teeth, his figure darting away like a rabbit, and once again disappeared into thin air.
Fang Lin frowned; his invisibility move was really pesky. But it wasn’t like he had no effective measures against it. Abruptly, he pulled out a jade bottle and smashed it.
Black smoke spread out, filling the entire room in a while. Fang Lin was unaffected amidst it, but the boy hidden in the dark couldn’t withstand it and wanted to escape through the window.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Fang Lin shouted and threw the Boundless Stone the moment the boy attempted to exit the window.
Thud!
The Boundless Stone precisely hit the boy in the back. The boy didn’t even have time to scream before he exploded into a pool of blood, dead beyond dead.
The Boundless Stone, tainted with fresh blood, flew back into Fang Lin’s hand. The room filled with black smoke, Fang Lin also stepped out.
“What happened?”
Yan Ze and several disciples of Purple Mist Sect appeared and asked in succession.
Fang Lin calmly stated: “Someone tried to assassinate me, but I dealt with it.”
On hearing this, everyone was taken aback, especially Yan Ze, whose face was full of gloominess.
“Do you know who it was?” Yan Ze asked.
Fang Lin shook his head: “I’m not sure, but this person was able to disguise himself and knew the secret technique of concealing his body shape. I do not know whether there are any other accomplices on my Flying Boat?”
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere aboard the Flying Boat suddenly became serious, and many people even cast suspicious glances at those around them.
Fang Lin was silently watching these people as well, trying to see if any of them had disguised themselves, but he failed to observe anything noteworthy.
Yan Ze took a deep breath and said, “Everyone, stay at the bow of the ship. No one is allowed to leave.”
As ordered, all the disciples from Purple Mist Sect came to the bow, with Yan Ze personally interrogating them to ensure that no intruder with dubious identity had infiltrated their ranks.
Fang Lin silently watched from the side. He suspected that the boy could be an assassin sent by the Hidden Kill Hall, but he wasn’t sure as he hadn’t verified it.
But the modus operandi indeed resembled the Hidden Kill Hall very closely.
Fang Lin’s brow furrowed, he couldn’t believe Hidden Kill Hall would stoop so low to infiltrate the Flying Boat, and try to assassinate him when he dropped his guard.
Thankfully, Fang Lin was alert enough, or else he would have fallen into the trap of Hidden Kill Hall.
Yan Ze interrogated meticulously but found no results; it appeared as though there were no suspicious individuals amongst his people.
Even so, Yan Ze didn’t lower his guard, still forcing everyone to stay on deck and within his line of sight. Even Fang Lin and Qing Jian Zi obediently stayed at the bow.
As for the events that took place in the Endless Dungeon, Yan Ze would naturally want to know, especially about Fang Lin who was asked most questions.
Fang Lin naturally mentioned everything that could be revealed. As for the things that couldn’t be revealed, he wisely remained silent.
Heeding that they had survived the trip to the Ice Palace, Yan Ze was greatly surprised and carefully asked about the details inside the Ice Palace.
The Ice Palace was notoriously known as a death trap where anyone who entered never came out alive, and for years no one had survived it.
But this time, members from the three major forces dared to enter the Ice Palace and successfully made it out alive. This was a significant development.
Although no treasures were obtained, the situation inside the Ice Palace was clarified. Apparently, there’s a powerful existence inside that absorbed the vital energy of intruders, such as Li Tongtian’s vitality that was completely drained, hence he died.
As for how others survived and made it out of the Ice Palace safely, no one knew, be it Qing Jian Zi, Fang Lin or other survivors. They were all genuinely clueless.
Of course, Fang Lin knew the real reason behind their survival; it’s just that he couldn’t reveal it.
The Flying Boat smoothly returned, without any incidents, back to the Purple Mist Sect.
Han Luoyun, along with the high-level members, personally welcomed them. The two highest-ranking members from both sects were present, especially Gu Daofeng who had to come because his son, Gu Hanshan, was among those who had gone on this trip.
“They’re back!” An elder with the best vision among them declared at the entrance of Purple Mist Sect.
At a distance, the sound of the Flying Boat reverberated, and everyone at Purple Mist Sect cheered happily.
Han Luoyun had a smile on his face; he had already been contacted by Yan Ze and knew that many people had survived, so his mood was pretty good.
In stark contrast, Gu Daofeng seemed quite agitated.
The Flying Boat landed slowly, and people at the prow began to disembark one after another.
“Brother Qing Jian Zi!”
“Brother Fang Lin!”
“Meng Chaoyang! Qiufan are alive!”
“There are more survivors this time than before.”
Members of Purple Mist Sect were overjoyed and rushed to welcome them.
After the last person stepped off the Flying Boat, Gu Daofeng suddenly shouted, fell down, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
