Chapter 89: Lu Di
By the time they got to the opening where they had come from, the young woman was no longer in sight.
They decided not to give chase and take care of those imprisoned instead.
Ho Ming and Bai Ti tried to usher those imprisoned in the cages to get out of the cave.
Lin Fan stood by the side, making sure there wasn't anyone with malevolent intent.
"Please have mercy."
"We were abducted from far-away villages. We don't know the way around."
"My kid needs to eat. He has been hungry for a few days."
They started pleading for Ho Ming and Bai Ti to help them out.
"Either you get out yourselves or you stay here and starve to death."
Lin Fan stepped on Tan Rui's head on the ground as he said this.
Reminding them of what he could do.
It spooked the hell out of the villagers.
"We… We will find the way out."
They apologized and hurriedly left through the opening Lin Fan came from.
With them gone, Lin Fan took another Blood and Qi Restoration pill.
He needed to replenish his Qi before carrying on.
The Primordial Essence pill helped him, but it had used up all his Qi.
And even though he was getting Qi into his dantian automatically, the Qi in the caves wasn't plentiful enough.
After a few moments when his Qi was replenished, they went further in.
They passed through an eerie chamber.
With tools of torture strewn all over the place and bodies that were badly mutilated hanging from the ceiling.
It was said that some believed in the form of torture as a dark cultivation technique.
Someone obviously did that in the chamber.
After the torture chamber, it led to one huge opening.
Much bigger than what they saw earlier.
At least two hundred meters wide.
The three different routes linked back up to this chamber.
When they got near, they could hear the voice of Zhao Rui and the rest.
"Hurry," Lin Fan said as Zhao Rui and the rest were fighting something.
This time they were fighting a huge mountain ghost and men in crimson red robes.
Lin Fan's hunch earlier was right; the mountain ghosts they'd encountered earlier weren't the adult form.
The huge mountain ghost was standing around three meters tall and about the size of an elephant.
A few of the senior disciples were lying on the ground, badly injured.
"Die! You monster!" Bai Ti couldn't wait and joined in the battle.
Ho Ming also joined in.
However, Lin Fan stood still and scanned the area.
Someone must be in charge and was hiding somewhere.
"Die, you coward…"
A Dark Lotus sect member came up to Lin Fan, thinking that he was a coward standing behind, and tried to kill him.
But before he could finish talking, Lin Fan smashed his head to a pulp.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 40.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 1500]
The other Dark Lotus sect member following behind changed his mind and tried to run away when he saw what had happened.
Lin Fan, using his Yang Smash, shot a flame at one of them, and with his Yin Prod, shot an ice icicle at the other.
"Argh! Help me…", the flame hit the Dark Lotus sect member, and he was engulfed in flame.
The other member wasn't any better; the ice icicle pierced through his body, and he was torn into two.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 80.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 1580]
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt someone behind his back.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 180 vengeance points.]
He turned back and looked.
It was that young woman.
"We meet again," she squinted her eyes and licked her lips. "I'm Lu Di and I have a proposal for you…"
Lin Fan held his hammers and didn't waste any time.
His system had told him she was up to no good.
He lunged at her and aimed his right hammer at her head.
She wanted to continue talking but was taken by surprise.
Clink.
Using her sword, she parried Lin Fan's hammer aside.
But Lin Fan's left hammer was already waiting.
With his Yin Prod, he thrust his hammer at her waist.
Lu Di bent backwards with incredible flexibility, dodged his Yin Prod.
Lin Fan used his Yang Smash and went after her.
But she quickly somersaulted away from Lin Fan.
"Hmph. Why the impatience, young man?" Lu Di looked at Lin Fan as she brushed off the dust on her robes.
Lin Fan just stared at her, trying to think of something.
She was too agile and quick for his hammers.
And he could see why Ho Ming and Bai Ti couldn't nail her down.
He would have to deal with her with his Beast Abilities. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Injecting Qi into the toad statue, Lin Fan kept his hammers in it.
He then activated his Iron Claw ability.
Whoosh!
With his Magnificent Leap, he got in front of her.
Lu Di lifted her sword and tried to stab at Lin Fan's chin.
Lin Fan turned to her side while using his claws to slash at her.
His claws caught her arm but only left some slash wounds.
She quickly jumped to the side, getting some distance between them again.
When they were facing each other in a standoff again, she glanced over to the other side.
Zhao Rui and the rest were still dealing with the huge mountain ghost.
No good, Lin Fan thought.
It was as if Lu Di was stalling for time.
He better finish her off as soon as possible.
"So, who or what are you waiting for?" Lin Fan asked as he tried to think of something.
"See, that's why I like you. Unlike all the other men, you can think with your head. I'll tell you everything if you take me," she said as she licked her lips again, trying to seduce Lin Fan.
Lin Fan noticed that she didn't deny it.
What could be coming next?
There's only one way to find out.
Lin Fan lunged at Lu Di again.
Not surprisingly, Lu Di was ready, and she lifted her sword and stabbed at Lin Fan's chin.
She expected Lin Fan to turn and dodge again, but he took the stab.
Clink.
The sword had a hard time penetrating his skin.
Lin Fan had concentrated all his Qi at the area around his chin, making the skin tough as steel.
She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Physique Cultivator?"
It was too late for her as she saw Lin Fan's claw coming closer and closer.
