Chapter 88: Tentacles Back
Ho Ming and Bai Ti tried to stop her.
With his twirling wind strike, Ho Ming aimed at her leg.
She jumped to the side and managed to dodge his strike.
Bai Ti shot a slicing wave at her with his Cross Strike.
But she somersaulted to the side, and then she lunged at Lin Fan.
Thud!
She gave Lin Fan a kick from behind and hit him on his back.
"Argh."
She cried out in pain because Lin Fan's back was hard like a steel wall. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
But it was enough to distract Lin Fan since he had to turn and see what she was up to next.
This gave Tan Rui a breather.
He cried out in pain as he got his hands unstuck from the Alchemy Furnace, leaving bits of his skin stuck on the surface of the furnace.
He quickly took out a bottle of pills and swallowed one of the pills inside.
When Lin Fan saw what he was doing, he did a frontal kick and forced Tan Rui into the Alchemy Furnace.
"Argh! Damn you!"
Tan Rui cried out as he dropped into the burning flames of the furnace.
By now, the young woman was being subdued by Ho Ming and Bai Ti.
Lin Fan quickly picked up his hammers because he wanted to go over and help them.
Suddenly, a familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 200 vengeance points.]
He quickly turned back and saw Tan Rui climbing out of the Alchemy Furnace.
Tan Rui now looked like a devil.
The flames that engulfed him had burned his robes into pieces, with some of the remaining robes stuck onto his skin.
Smoke was rising from his body, giving out a nasty burnt smell of flesh.
His hair was mostly gone, and most of his face had burn marks, making him seem like a red devil.
He stared at Lin Fan, and miraculously, his skin that was burned was slowly closing and healing.
It must have been the pills.
Whoosh.
Two dark tentacles shot out of Tan Rui's body, and the tentacles caught onto the chains that locked up the cages.
Clank.
With a violent tug, the chains were broken by the tentacles.
Those imprisoned inside looked at each other for a moment and then quickly ran out of the cages.
Lin Fan lunged at Tan Rui with his hammer, but he pulled back when he saw Tan Rui using one of the tentacles to grab a kid in front of him.
The parents of the kids then came screaming.
They obstructed Lin Fan's way.
"You can just kill them and get to me," Tan Rui smirked and said, "Don't pretend for a second that you like these peasants."
Lin Fan couldn't be bothered with Tan Rui, so he activated his Magnificent Leap, jumped straight up, and threw one of his hammers at Tan Rui in the air.
Dang!
Tan Rui used his tentacle to block the hammer.
Whoosh!
Lin Fan shot his remaining hammer at Tan Rui as he came back down.
Dang!
This time, it hit Tan Rui's head and left a depression on his cheek.
The depression slowly got filled back up.
With the effect of the pill, it seemed like Tan Rui's regenerative powers were enhanced.
Pills!
It suddenly occurred to Lin Fan that he had some pills of his own.
Zhao Qing Ying had given him some Primordial Essence pills.
He quickly took one out and popped it into his mouth.
When the pill entered his stomach, he could immediately feel different.
His senses were heightened.
He could smell all the different stenches in the chamber, see every little detail, and hear as if he had already activated the Rabbit's Hearing ability.
Immediately, he thought about activating his Iron Claw ability.
Shing!
An orange glow illuminated from his fingers in the shape of long claws.
Lin Fan could feel the power within, and he quickly leaped to the side of Tan Rui.
Whoosh.
After he landed, he leaped again towards Tan Rui, turning into a dark blue shimmer as he was too fast.
Tan Rui tried to use his dark tentacles and whipped them at Lin Fan.
But Lin Fan's bright orange Iron Claws shredded the tentacles into pieces.
By now, Lin Fan was in front of Tan Rui.
Wasting no time, he swiped his right claw at Tan Rui's neck.
Tan Rui stepped back, but he was too late.
The claw caught his neck but wasn't deep enough to cut his artery.
Lin Fan's left claw then thrust into Tan Rui's belly.
This time, all five fingers dug into the belly, and Lin Fan pulled down his claws.
Leaving five long open wounds in Tan Rui's belly.
"Argh!" Tan Rui cried out in pain and kicked forward at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan caught Tan Rui's right thigh with his claws, and his claws went into it like tofu.
With his claws in Tan Rui's right thigh, Lin Fan pulled all the way back, right up to Tan Rui's right ankle.
Shredding all the way through his right leg.
Tan Rui shot out another tentacle, grabbed a kid from the chaotic crowd, and threw the kid at the Lin Fan.
Lin Fan quickly deactivated his Iron Claw and caught the kid in his hands.
Tan Rui, now limping, tried to run away, making use of the little distraction and chaotic situation with the villagers running around.
Lin Fan put down the kid, picked up his hammer, and lunged at Tan Rui's back.
With his Ying Yang Cross Smash, he hit Tan Rui's waist.
Splatter.
The ensuing explosion caused Tan Rui to kneel with his innards splattering onto the floor.
Lin Fan didn't waste any time, and his Yin Yang Cross Smash came down at Tan Rui's neck.
Two tentacles shot at Lin Fan, but they could only get through his skin and not any further.
Lin Fan's Physique Cultivation had enabled him to withstand the attack.
Splatter.
It didn't take long; the Yin and Yang Qi reacted and caused an explosion in Tan Rui's neck.
Thud.
His head dropped off from his body and rolled along the dirt ground.
Blood squirted out from the body, and a huge blood puddle formed.
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 200.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 1460.]
There was no time for Lin Fan to check, as he saw the young woman trying to get away.
She ran further into the cave.
He wanted to give chase, but those villagers running around the chamber blocked his way.
Ho Ming and Bai Ti also couldn't do much to get to the young woman.
